LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That Il Will Last Only Six
Thousand Years.

Thousand Years.
There Is a general and widespread
notion. which thr curious Investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature. that
the world will last 6.0m years from
the date of It's creation. An Dscrip-
ton in one Of Martin Luther's books
reads AZ follows: Elijah. the prophet.
said that the world had existed 1000
years before the law was given tfrom
Adam TO Moses, would exist 1000
years under the Mosaic law Grom
Moses to Christi and 1000 years under
the Christian dispensation. aud then Ii
would be burned"
In the Etrurian account OF the crea
ton (by Suidas, there Is a similar ira.
dtion. "l'he Creator spent 5000 years
In creation. and 5000 more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition or Foxes
Acts and Monuments" tlGI2' there
IL whole sermon given with the
5000 year limit of the ea rth's dura don
as text.
Some writer's contend that the six
days" referred To In Holy Writ really
mean G,OOO years ana rhai the "sev'
enth day" Is type OF the coming mil
lennium. or sabbath of a thousand
years" The psalmist says. "For n

Women and Tea In Japan.

No japanese society woman has COM
pleted her education unless she can tell
just what grade of tea is being served
to her-Uji, Mikado or a hundred 9th
ers-and at least be able to distinguish
by taste at least a dozen blends in
brand that has that many or more.
Such accomplishments are partly a
matter Of Inheritance and environment,
for Japan is country where tea has
been raised and used for centuries.
With tea plantations five centuries old
and tea plants 200 years of age there
is no need for tea commissions to fix
customs standards. AS for the house
hold standards. the Japanese house
wife decides them herself.

INC Wethod by which Marion CraW.
ford Controlled His Anger.
Mrs. Hugh Fraser. sister Of the late
+. Marion Crawford. tells some inter-
esting stories Of him in her book. "A
Diplomatist's Wife In Many Lands"
1t was at the Villa Negroni. Rome, that
Crawford was born, an event which
so delighted his father that, as Mrs.
Fraser says. "my father was beside
himself with joy and showered pres
ents on all of us to make us understand
and share it,
When young Francis was about ten
years old it dawned upon him that he
had violent and uncomfortable tenn
per. and with the simplicity which
marked all his charac ter he decided to
get it in hand
Zone member of the family constant
ly irritated him to the VERGE Of frenzy,
and he invented a form cf self disci-
pine which very few children would
have thought of imposing On them
selves. My mother entered his room
one day and found him walking round
and round it, carrying on his back a
heavy wooden shutter which he had
lifted off its hinges at the window.
"'My dear child she exclaimed,
what are you doing?'
"'Getting over rage he replied
doggedly, continuing the exercise
When am so angry that I want to
kill somebody come in here and carry
the shutter three times round the room

Why a Horse Rolls.

Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground. and no animal more thorough.
~ shakes itself than they do. After
roll they give themselves a shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end of a
journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand. which acts as plotting paper.
absorbing exudations from the body.
A shake removes the sand. and the
coat soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot
climates sometimes put sand on their
horses as the simplest and quickest
way of drying them.-Selborne Maya

CHILDREN OF JAP.

Food, Clothes or Shelter.

Food, Clothes or Shelter.
In describing Jap. one of the Caro-
line islands, DR.. W. FL. Furness says
that children become more or less pub
lie property on that island rs soon as
they are able to run about from house
to house.
They cannot without extraordinary
eXertion fall off the island. and, like
little guinea pigs, can find food any
where. Their clothing grows by every
roadside, and any shelter or no shelter
Is good enough for the night. They
cannot starve. There are no wild
beasts or snakes to harm them. What
matters it if they sleep under the high.
star powdered ceiling of their foster
mothers nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their fathers thatch?
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond of their children
On the contrary. they love them so
much that they see their own children
in all children. 1t is the ease of life
and its surroundings which have afro
phied the emotion of parental love.

other one thing which would
trend more in this direction than
for the corporations to deal
frankly and fairly with their
stockholders by revealing their
actual financial and physical
conditions. Shareholders have
an unquestioned right to know
how the company in which their
money is invested is being con-
Quoted and how the business
stands. There was a time, not
