MASSAGE FOR BAD CHILDREN
English Woman Brings From Japan
Novel Method Of Treating the
Naughty Little Ones.

Massage for naughty children is
the latest prescription from Japan.
1t has been brought to England by a
Miss Josephine Richardson, who has
spent three years in Japan, where
she had charge of some Japanese
children who belonged to one of the
best families in the country. She
says:
whenever my charges grew sulky
or unamenable to discipline for any
length Of time they were quietly
taken away, reappearing the next
day perfectly serene, good tempered
and willing to learn.
"How had the change been effect
ed? 1 found on inquiry that the
children had had their stomachs
massaged and that this was a very
generally practiced remedy.
"ft appears that in Japan all
naughtiness is held to proceed from
"a disordered stomach, belief which
in most instances is probably cor
rect PISS.
$50 successful was the massage
treatment with my Japanese chill
dren that I certainly think the ex-
pertinent should be made among
English children"

Owing to a series of domestic cata-

the tea given by Mrs. Lswton Mrs,
Lawton was quite the most aristocrat-
10 person among Mrs. Thompsons &C
Quaintances, so she was particularly
anxious to make a good appearance.
though she hated teas-ln a good deal
of hurry. she entered tie street.
car which would take her nearest her
destination very much out oil breath
and with one glove still only partly on.
She was too much occupied with her
glove for a few moments to be con-
scious Of extraneous things, but pres
emily her thoughts became less con-
centrated and she began to perceive
a faint odor OF onions in the air She
looked suspiciously at the woman who
sat next to her and the woman who
sat next to her looked susplcioIsly at
her Before long the other woman, sniff
ing the air with obvious intent, rose
and took a seat as far away from
Mrs. Thompson as possible.
Well" murmured Mrs. Thompson.
Indignantly to herself, III people win
soak themselves in onions they have
to expect to be annoyed by the odor."
However, she was somewhat sur
prised to realize In a few moments
that, in spite of the departure of the
woman the scent of onions still hung
in the atmosphere. With a slight en-,
clamation of annoyance she glanced
sidewise at the woman on the other
side Of her and after a minute orTsd
followed the example OF the nrsttwum-
an. For a short time she seemed to
have escaped the penetrating odor. but
when the little breeze caused by her
hasty movement had died down. thu
onion odor once more demand ed her
attention. 1t became so insistenethat
she bresthed a sigh of relief Wheu
abe reached her corner and left thu
car. -
She was having a fairly good time
at the tea when the acquaintance with
whom she had been talking suddenly
put up a gloved hand and mWmured
behind It: Truly, 1t is horrible sus-
picion, but l am becoming more and
more convinced every minute that our
hostess Is going to serve onions az

II was at this point that Mrs. Thomp,

fleet commenced the bombardment of
Preveza shortly after midnight. This

powers that the war must be confined
to Tripoli.
The dispatch says that the Turkish
authorities ignored the ultimaium Of
the Italian admiral for the surrender
of the three Turkish wsrships which
had taken refuge in the harbor. This
ultimatum expired at midnight and
