In. this country beech is the fayori'e
material for wooden shoes, the manu-
facture Of which has reached considera'
hlr proportions in the United States,
according To- the department Of agricnl'
ture, which has Just issued n bulletin
on the use of the wood. These shoes,
the department says, cost from 90 Ia
~ cents pair and are good for wa
years. They are worn by those who
have to work in cold or wet places, such
rs tanneries, breweries, and livery
stables, and by workmen in steel mills
and glass factories who must walk
on hot gates or floors Farmers, too,
are classed among the users.
Beech wood is put to q very mnch

HOLD DEER IN REVERENCE
tained Throughout the Jap
anese Empire.

From time immemorial deer have
been held in revorene regard by the
Japanese. Herds are kept in com
pounds, and the highest respect is paid
to the animals. In olden times the
shogun gave the people such a strict
order to protect the sacred animals
that if anyone happened to hurt or
kill them he was put to death on the
spot. 1t was a period of terror.
Even at the present day the deer ara
so tame and abundant in the shrine
grounds that they, in fine weather,
stroll round to the streets by twos and
threes and surround passers-by, asking
for food, and sometimes holding their
sleeves in their mouths in an affections
ate manner.
Once year some of the deer ara
caught by means of a net with a ham
die by several tanners (in service of
the Kasuga Shrine Ofice) and taken
TO an enclosure where their splendid
horns are cut off with saw, while a
crowd of spectators watch the work
with breathless interest admission
ten sen, equal to about cents). This
done, some of the sacred horns are,
as custom, awarded to the spectators
by means of lottery.

A woman who lives in a south side

She spent the afternoon shifting"
and went to bed, tired. Her son, at
night, called her up over the tele-
phone, but could get no response. A
little later his office telephone rang
and his mother asked:

SEEK TO PRESERVE EAGLE
King of Birds Does Much Damage, but
Swiss Authorities Decide to
Protect 1t.

Eagles are gradually disappearing
from the peaks of Switzerland, and
the grand council has found it neces-
sary to take steps to prevent the COM
plete destruction of these noble birds
of prey. Till recently eagles were
methodically hunted all the year
round in the Bernese Oberland, and
last year a whole family of eagles was
destroyed so ruthlessly at Murren that
the cantonal authorities were request
ed to intervene. Unfortunately, since
the measure Of protection, pair of
eagles in the Muota Valley have de-
stroyed so many sheep and goats that
the inhabitants have requested the au-
thorities of Schwyz to repeal the en-
actment. The Society for the Protec-
tion of the Countryside has endeav-
ored to calm the agitation by giving
the damaged proprietors an indemnity
of 200 francs The sum has been con-
sidered insufficient and the discomfort
has increased. The people Of The T91-
ley demand not only the right to hunt
the eagle, but also a reward for each
bird killed. Nevertheless. the canton
al authorities have decided to main
tain the protection for year.

he had frozen his feet and hands so
badly as a result that l am afraid he

1,000-mile trip in 81 days with the
same five dogs with which | started,
and that not one of them had even a
sore foot during the entire journey.
In fact, before I started Psyriak had.
cut his left hind foot, which made it
necessary to mucklock it, but when I
finished my journey he was in better
condition than at first.
Not once during the whole way did
I sit on the sled; ! pushed it for at
least 500 miles and ran beside it for
another 800. Running became such
a habit that when l got to Cordova
and started to go down the street 1

beginning all over again.
l hated to part with my dogs, but
as our country is too hot for them l
decided to give them away. I broke

that they would not work together
again. l had several chances to sell
them, but 1 could not think of do
ing so.

Ina gination.

An obsolete form of power, at one
time used in making countries, religion
and literature, but now superseded by
the higher psychology. In former
times imagination was employed by
children in playing games, and in the
making of mud pies out of mud and
real soldiers out of wood. 1t is the
father OF many dead heroes, among
whom may be mentioned Theseus.
Jack the Giant Killer, King Arthur.
Caliban, Robinson Crusoe and Santa
Claus. 1t is still discovered in the
extremely young. At one time when
man was crude imagination was
thought to be serviceable. The notion,
however, along with mythology and
other follies, has long since been ex-
ploded the greatest efficiency having
been demonstrated to lie along the

MUCH POWER IN SUGGESTION
Extends to the Curing of Physical Ills
If One Will Persevere in
Treatment.

By the method known as "sugges-
ton" it is possible (according to a
medical writer) not only to perform
the simple experiment of waking one
self at a given hour in the morning,
but also to Danish all minor physical
ailments and even to correct faults in
the character.
Just as in the first instance the ex-
Ferimenter before going 10 sleep at
night makes a mental request to him
self that he shall awake at a certain
time on the following morning, so in
more important matters he suggests
to hims ELF a condition of health or a
method of conduct.
To take two instances. Supposing
you suffer from insomnia, you focus
your whole attention upon the repe-
titi0n four times a day of a given for
E.pla. Thus you may say to yourself
that you trouble no more about the
matter, merely repeating the state
ment at intervals. In two or three
days at most the effect-according to
the authority-will be felt in sound
slumbers.
Much the same process is adopted
where it is desired to break onseif of
a bad habit
The theory is that the remark or
statement is addressed to your uncon.
scious mind, which responds to your
desires when expressed in this way.

Timely Aclmonitlon.

The death Of child as a result OF
its clothing catching fire from an open
CRATE has moved Coroner Jamison to
admonish parents that the safety OF
their loved one is imperiled by the
tolerance in homes of unscreened
CRATES and gas stoves. Year after
year the advent of cold weather has
marked the beginning of a long list
of fire fatalities, probably the most
agonizing form of death, and yet, in
spite of such warnings, the unscreen.
ed CRATE is the exception and not the
rule. In the months of January and
February of the present year no less
than % children were burned to death
as a result of the use of open coal

School Boys Badly Used.

Early in the last century many boys
at Eton, England, had to undergo a
rough training. An old Etonian who
left the school in 1884 describes his
experiences there as worse than that
of many inmates of workhouse OF
gaol To get up at five on freezing
winter mornings; TO sweep their own
floors and make their own beds; to
go two-by-two to the pump for
scanty wash; to eat no mouthful OF
food until 8 a. M; to live on an end
less round of mutton, potatoes and
beer, none Of them too plentiful or too
good to sleep in q dismal cell with
out chair or table. Such was the lot
of boys whose parents could not afford
to pay for a private room. Some OF
these underwent priyations that might
have broken down a cabin boy, and
would be thought inhuman if inflicted

OLD LONDON AND ITS ALE
Matter That Was Taken Most Seri,
ously in the Past, and Authorl-
ties Were Watchful.

The publication of official figures to
reminds one how careful the authori-
ties were in the past lest the Lon.
doner should miss his full share of
ale. In the sixteenth century, for in
stance, the brewer who ceased to
brew was faced with the loss of his
business. Thus, if the mayor got wind
of amy of the saide brewers, or their
frowarde and perverse myndes, shall
at any time hereafter sodenly for
be2re and absteyne from bruying,
whereby the kings subjects should
be destitute or unprovided OF drynke,"
he knew exactly what to do. The
city council was empowered to take
over the business as a going concern,
and to take measures to see that it
was kept going.
The cry then and for centuries after
was all for beer. There is record of a
petition of 1873, for instance, pray
ing that tea, coffee and brandy be
banned. The petitioners reasoned that
the laborers needed good strong beer
and ale which refreshed their bodies
and neither did them prejudice nor
hindered their work. Besides, it cost
little. and was the product Of home
grown grain. whereas the new-fangled
drink was expensive and destroyed
