When thew are artistically arranged

GINGER FOR THE TEMPER.

ginger cure was anything save an

number of years" says the advocate
Of the ginger cure, 4 have been the

myself amiable before lunchtime.
Last week a friend presented me
with a jar of preserved ginger, and
my good fairy suggested to me that it
would be a fine relish for breakfast.
-Since then I have been taking it,
and my frame of mind in the morning
has been rapidly improving, and now
I am able to start the day as cheerily
as typical country farmer. It is the
ginger that has worked this cure"

OF the exact date Of the foundation
Of the Chelsea factory nothing is def

coURrsHIP CLASS FOR JAP GIRLS

Japan has killed the last doubt as to
its modern progress by the oTganiza-
ton Of a "class of courtship" for girls
in each Of the secondary schools. The
Japanese maidens are taught that if
they should be so unfortunate as to
fall in love before becoming engaged
they must conceal the fact. Above ALL
they must remember that women never
propose. Another thing, they are
warned thatwell bred girls do not ex-
change photographs with their admir-
ers. In Japan until now there has not
been any trouble about counting, and
this is the first evidence that the jap
anese maidens need instruction in af-
fairs Of the heart. Glasses to the con-
trary, however, the point is maintained
that there is not a Juliet under the sun
who does know the exact formula for
dealing with a Romeo.

GIRL Rival TO HELEN KELLER.

The achievements of Miss Helen Kel-
ler the famous blind student, are being
rivaled by Miss Theodore J. Frankson
of Chicago, who has been totally blind
ever since she was eight years old.
Miss Frankson entered Chicago uni
versity three years ago and since then
has carried off a scholarship each year.
Her most recent distinction lies in her
election to the Phi Beta Kappa society
in the university. membership in which
is conferred only in recognition of I'M
usual scholastic attainments. Miss
Frankson is the first blind girl to be
elected to the society, and at the same
time she has received the title of asso-
ciate in literature.
