MARVELLOUS CARVING

HANANUMA MASAKICHI Of Toxic is
said to have carved a figure in wood so
like himself that when the two were placed
side by side it was impossible to tell which
lived and breathed and which did not.
Connoisseurs have pronounced this the
most perfect image of man ever made. Mas
akichi faithfully reproduced every scar, vein,
and wrinkle to be seen on his body. The fig
ure was composed of two thousand pieces of
wood, dovetailed and jointed with such Won
derful skill that no seam could be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the reception of
hairs, and the wooden figure has glass eyes,
and eyelashes in which no dissimilarity to
Masakchi's own can be detected.
The Japanese artist posed between two
mirrors while modelling this figure, and for
sometime after its completion he posed fire.
quently beside it, to the confusion of spec
tators, who were often entirely at a loss as to
which was the artist The figure stands with
a little mask in one hand, and an instrument
for carving in the other; the lfelike eyes are
apparently gazing at the mask, and the
face wears look of intense absorption.

PUSHING THE SOUR MILK THEORY

Professor Mechnikoff, of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris, is best known, as
medical scientist. because Of his the
CRY that human life may be extended
far beyond the usual limits by the use
Of the Bulgarians sour milk bacillus.
He says that his theory that diet is the
essential thing is supported by his
own experience. Twelve years ago,
after his health had been seriously
impaired by relapsing fever that did
not yield to any of the usual treat
ments he began the use of the Bulgar>
ian sour milk bacillus.
Today at the age of IS he finds that
he has a great capacity for hard work,
though he does not come of a family
noted for vitality or longevity, hence
he attributes his present health and
vigor to a dietary which includes the
sour milk bacillus and to which he has
added the fruit known as dates. The
bacillus, he tells US, does its sanitary
work by destroying various poisonous
substances that develop in the alimen-
tary canal
The bacillus, however, must live and
it fourishes best on sugar, bat
ordinary sugar is absorbed in the up
per part Of the canal, which gives the
poisonous indol, phenol and other
things a chance to multiply in the low
er part. But the experiments Of Albert
Berthelot have shown that the sugar n
dates reaches the lower intestinal tract
and thus enables the Bulgarian bach
Illus to do its work thoroughly Metch-
ikoffs theory no doubt will find much
favor with those who like a diet of
sour milk and dates, but most of us
will continue to take our chances with
beef and potatoes.

ROOSEVELT FAY0RS W0MEN'S
CLUBS.

At last Roosevelt mas been run into
a corner and forced to explain exactly
where he stands with regard TO wo-
mems clubs.
And the colonel has endorsed them
as not inimical to the home interests
and to the propagation OF the race.
The cornering Of the colonel took
place in Grand Rapids, Mich, where
he addressed the Ladies Literary Club
When he had completed his talk one Of
the members arose and put the que5-
ton squarely to him: Colonel, why
evade it any longer-are you in favor
of or opposed to women's clubs?"
There was no escape from such a
direct query as that. The eyes Of hun
dreds of women We're centered on the
African hunter. The issue had to De

The purpose Of the womans club

Now, no doubt, one Of the highest
forms of intellectual pleasure com IS

WHERE UNCLE SAN WOULD SAVE
MILLIONS.

Every minute wasted by each letter
carrier waiting for some one to open
the door, in the course of his rounds,
may result in the loss of an hour u
more each day. Postmaster Hitchcock
has figured out that in a town having
ten carriers it costs the Postoffice De
partment an extra days work, but in
large cities this loss may run into
hundreds Of days, hence he estimates
that the time lost costs the government
$1,000,00O year.
Having cut down the expenses Of the
Postofice Department to within about
$50O0,OOO of its income Mr.. Hitchcock
proposes to save another $1,0O0,000 by
abolishing the door-opening delay. The
House Committee on Postofices and
Posuoads has inserted in the appro-
priation bill for the department a pro
vision that after the year 1911, city

THE DURABLE SATISFACTION OF
LIFE.

When Roosevelt retired from the
White House it was thought that the
agitation against small families had
run its course and that some new topic
would occupy the public mind to its
exclusion. Such has not been the case.
The seed sown by the irrepressible one
has continued to terminate and every
now and then a new stimulus is given
to the propaganda set in motion by
him Cardinal Gibbons has expressed
h.mself strongly upon the same lines
and now comes the venerable president
emeritus Of Harvard, Dr. Charles "
Eliot, insisting that the durable salts.

He takes issue with Prof. Morse who
recently advocated a small birth rate
and a higher cultivation of the few.
