COMMITTEE MEETS
FOR MAY FESTIVAL

General discussion concerning the
time and plans for the 1912 May fes-
tival consumed the entire time at the
first meeting of the festival commit.
tee Thursday evening at the CONNER
cial club. The time for the big event
was indefinitely set for some period of
probably three days between the mid.
die and end of May. In general, the
affair will follow the plan OF festivals
used in past years. The symphony
orchestra will again be the biggest
feature. The question of the advisa-
bility of securing talent from out of
town to take part in the festival, was
considered, but action was deferred
until the next committee meeting.
A large portion of last evening was
given over to organizing the various
subcommittee. The duties of each OF
these was definitel outlined, and each
was given authority to proceed with
it's work at once
The unanimous opinion of the com
mittee heads was that Richmond had
the facilities and resources this year
to have the most successful May festi.

DIVORCE IN ANCIENT ROME,
One Woman Had Eight Husbands Ia
Five Years.

rive years.
I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historial lnge. that there were
women in ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by
the husbands they had had. Juvenal
tells OF one woman who had married
eight husbands in five years. Divorce
was granted on the slightest pretext.
Many separated merely from love OF
change disdaining to give any reason,
like Aemilius Pauius. who told his
friends that he knew best where his
shoes pinched him.
Rich wives were not much sought
after by wise men. Their complet.
emancipation made them difficult ia
manage. Accordingly. since both rich
and poor wives were Objectionable. the
large majority of men never married
at all. In most cases Roman bride
groom knew practically nothing Of his
wife's character until after marriage.
Marriage for the Roman woman
meant a transition from rigid seclu
sion to almost unbounded liberty. She
appeared as a matter of course at bel
husbands table whether he had com
pany or not. She could go where she
liked. either to the temples Of lsis
and Scraps or to the circus and am
phitheater She had her own troopa

TYPEWRl1ERs IN CHINA.
They Are Used There, but Not For the
Native Language.

IVY nv OOOo UOT0s OUT JNOS Or InO
Native Language.
Typewriters are now made for use in
nearly a hundred different languages.
and they are sold all over the world,
but there Is still one great nation
which. for a very simple reason, has
no typewritcrs that write its tongue.
That nation is China.
The English alphabet has twenty-six
letters. the Russian thirty-six. The
typewriter produced for the Russian
market is the largest made. but no
typewriter could be made that would
begin to be big enough for the Chinese
language, which has no alphabet. but
Is represented by sign characters, of
which there are about $4,000. OF the
English language only a small proper
ton are used for the ordinary purposes
Of speech. and the same would be true
as to the characters used in the Chi
nese language. but the number Of Chi
nese characters commonly employed is
still far greater than could be put on
any typewriter. So this nation of 400.
100000 people has no typewriter in its
own tongue.
But that doesn't mean that no type
writer's are sold in China. More and
more Chinese are learning other Ian
guages besides their own. and Chinese
merchants and resident foreign mer-
chants use typewriters. and they are
used in legations and in consular Of
fees and in banks and shipping offices
and colleges and by missionaries, by
various people. Altogether there are
sold in China a good many typewrit-
ers.-Washington Post.

Old limo kissing Customs.

Old limo Kissing Customs.
:. The English distaste for kissing IS
thing Of comparatively recent growth.
In the seventeenth century our habits
were the wonder Of the foreigner.
Nicolaus de Bethlen. Hungarian, who
visited these shores In 1883. relates
that my brother and I behaved very
rudely on one occasion. being unaware
that Il was the custom in that country
to kiss the corner Of the mouth Of Ia
dies instead Of shaking hands. as we
do In Hungary. We were invited to
dine at the house Of a gentleman Of
high rank and found his wife and three
daughters, one Of them married, ready
to receive Us. We kissed the girls, but
not the married ladies. and thereby
greatly offended the latter. Duval
apologised for our blunder and told
10 that when saluting we must always
kiss the senior lady drst and leave tho
girls 70 the last."-London Express.

ARCHAEOLOGY.

The Aneients Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science.
Arthur L. rockingham, writing in
the North American Review on "Where
Archaeology Comes In," notes that,
though it is customary to consider the
science as a modern study, dating
from the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury. there has been at all times
certain amount of unconscious archae-
ology." Illustrating this, he says:
when the late Babylonian King
he was restoring in the original style
a temple built more than 1900 years
before him by King Naramsin he
was. or thought he was. doing the
work Of an archaeological scholar.
When the Roman priests, under the
Antoine emperors. continued to use in
their sacrifices only the primitive
black earthen cups that had been in
use for, nearly a thousand years. since
before the founding of Rome. they
were practical archaeologists.
when the Emperor Augustus in
sisted on having copies Of the best
works of Greek sculpture of different
ages and styles made in the exact
manner OF the originals. including ar
chaic works. he was obliging his sculp-
tors to be archaeologists. The En-
peror Claudius. who wrote on antiqui
ties and used archaicisms. was lam

surprise in this phenomenon; it is
natural and happens in every instance

vents the loss of hair and permits a

The dandruff germ cannot live on a

AN ANCIENT LEGEND.
Creation Of the coeoanut, the Wakvvak
and tho Palm Tree.

Creation Of the ceeoanut. the Wak.vak
and the Palm Tree.
According to the opinion OF the old
historians and the commentators of
the Koran. God created from the re-
mainder of the clay Of which Adam
was made the kullseer. or cocoa tree.
which Is found in abundance in the
Indian islands. 1t produces a nut
which Is brought to Anatolia and
Roomili. The interior and oily part
is nourishing and fortifytng food. The
shell Is worked into spoons and cups
Of the size Of mans head. 1t is a
round black nut on which all the
parts Of a mans head may be seen
mouth. nose. eyebrows. eyes. hair and
Adams clay. A wonderful sight!
From the same clay God created
also the wakwak. found in India. the
fruit Of which resembles a mans
head. which. shaken by the wind. emits
the sound Of wakwak.
Finally was created also the palm
tree from the remainder Of Adams
clay at Kufa. near the water Tinnoor.
This Is said to be the reason why the
palm trees Of Kufa, Medain and Om-
maun are straight and upright. like
the stature Of a man. II you cut its
branches 1t does not only no harm to
It. but grows even more. like the hair
and beard Of men. but II you cut OF

FEASTED on LOBSTER.

He Did It on the Sly and Repsntcd
SoreIy Afterward.
Some years ago the government
transplanted about 10000 eastern lob
sters in Monterey bay. Before ship
ping wooden pegs had been put in
their claws so that they couldn't fight
with each other en- route to this coast.
Before transplanting those in charge
neglected to remove the wooden pegs,
with the result that the Holsters all
died.
The government accordingly sent an-
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before
planting the Holsters.
Some time thereafter the Albatross
steamed into Monterey bay, under the
command of the United States fish
commission, looking for results Of the
transplanting. Lobster traps were set
at different points. but nary a lobster
was captured. The government then
posted notices offering $1,000 for a
specimen Of the transplanted Holsters.
Two years passed. A Santa Cruz
fisherman. out in his little smack.
caught one Of the Holsters. Then.
thinking that there was a law against
catching them. he sneaked the lobster
to his home. cooked it, ate it and de-
stroyed all evidence. Later he divulg-
ed the secret to some other fishermen.
Il caught lobster sixteen inches
long," he said.
