his pipe and sat for a moment i'm
mersed in thought. Then he clicked

at what he had written and look of
surprise came across his classic fea-
lures. Then he gasped, shrieked and
went into fit of hysteria.
His colleagues rushed into the
room, but he was beyond human aid.
In ten minutes he had laughed himself
to death. Then one bethought himself
to look at the. last lines those fingers,
now cold and still, had written. At
the top of the all but unsullied sheet
appeared these words: Another shop

Japanese courtesy.


A country where courtesy is bust-
ness, and business but gentle avo-
cation, reflects its popularity in the
most trifling details of conduct. Such
country is Japan and such detail
recently came into notice when a city
electric bureau of Tokyo asked the
patrons on its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
it was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out of the 2,719 sugges-
tions sent in the Independent selects
and translates six, as follows:
"Those not getting off, to the mid
die, pleased"
THE middle is more comfortable"
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
strap!"
There's pretty girl about the
middle of the carl"
"A pickpocket has just come on
board!"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
tions, but the conductors will be
taught to use some of the other forms.
Is it possible that the Japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
10, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as a helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk gong on the hear of
our own street cars.

ODD CAUSES OF lNToxICATIoN
Fruit and Vegetables Capable of Hav-
ing Disastrous Effect on the
Nervous System.

Those who cannot resist the tempta-
tion of too many strawberries should
not be surprised if they are attacked
with fruit drunkenness for it is
an extraordinary fact that the excess
i've eating of strawberries often re-
suits in many of the sensations con-
nected with alcohol attacking the eat
er. These symptoms consist of gid
diness, headache, blurred sight and oc-
casionally double vision.
For strawberries contain far more
acid than most of the other fruits in
season at the same time, and this
juice acts very quickly on the nervous
system, especially in the case of stout
and full-blooded people. Excessive
rhubarb eating can also produce symp-
toms of intoXication, owing to the
excess of oXalic acid which turks in
this fruit.
But this is only one of the many
ways in which symptoms of drunken
ness can be developed, apart from ex-
cess of alcohol. 1t is quite possible
to become temporarily intoxicated by
excess of emotion, whether it be sor-
row, joy or music.
The explanation is that deep emo
tion deranges the nerve centers, which
are thrown out OF us,fson with each
other, so that such actions as walking
and talking become difficult. An in
valid who lives on diet for come con-
siderable time, and then suddenly has
a huge meal, can quite easily get
symptoms of drunkenness on chop or
steak.
Strong coffee on an empty stomach
also produces results similar to alco-
hol, whilst, the fumes of turpentine
arc very liable to render you light
headed. Recently six men were re-
duced to rolling condition while
unloading cargo of this spirit from
a barge at Bristol, England.

GETTING OUT OF THE WOODS
Simple Rules to Be Observed If Ono
Has the Misfortune to Stray
From the Camp.

If you discover that you are lost in
the woods, sit down and think calmly
back over the road you have travelled,
trying to decide where the camp
should lie. Then, if you have your
compass, and it seems to agree with
your judgment, stick faithfully to that
direction. Even If you are wrong in
your decision 1t is better to keep on
in one direction, because you may fall
in with some stream, and can follow
it to human habitation.
If you have no compass, the sun is
an excellent guide during the day.
Should the sky be overcast, place the
point of your knife-blade on the nail
of your thumb; turn slowly until the
full shadow of the blade obscures the
nail, and you have discovered where
the sun is.
You can discover the points of the
compass in other ways; by noticing
that the tops of the tall trees incline
to the north; that the leaves of trees
are generally closer on the south
side; that their branches are shorter
and more irregular on the north side.
To prevent getting into the circle
habit break off branches of the bushes
you pass. Start fire, IL your match
safe Is with you-as 1t should be.
Remember that fire piles up with
damp wood makes a dense smoke,
and quickly attracts attention. Two
fires going at once, one a little re-
moved from the other, constitute a
well-known signal of distress among
, woodsmen. The firing of three shots
in succession-two at first, then a
pause, then the third SHOTS another
recognized signal, If you happen to
have a gun.-Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

No "Ear for Music"

DR., Birman-Bera, after making a
study of the ears of famous musicians.
has come to the conclusion that the
construction of that organ has little
to do with ones musical appreciation,
and that 1t is not necessary to have
even normal ear-drums to become a
finished musician.
DIR. Birman-Bera says that his obser-
vations have shown that composers
as class have erect, almost vertical
ear-drums, and that other musicians
other than composers have ear-drums
the position of which varies from the
slanting to the vertical. incll ling all
intermediate forms. Whether DR.. Bir-
man-Bira's discovery will result in the
discarGtng of that handy and much
used phrase, IAN ear for music" OF
