Toxic, July 5.-The legion o. friends

five years ago that DR.. Greene came

FOREIGN NEWS NOTES

two to three years in order to keep
pace with Germany, one of the gov
eminent staunchest supporters was
the veteran General Pau, who lost his
right arm fighting against the Ger
mans in the war of 1870.
When General Pau, then a lieuten-
ant, was lying wounded after the bat
tie of FroeschWiller, with his hand
shattered by a shell, he heard one
doctor say to another that the supply
of chloroform was giving out. When
his turn came to be operated upon
Pau said 10 the doctors, GIVE the
chloroform to the soldiers, I'll go
without" The doctors took him at
his word and sawed through his wrist
while Pau BIZ his handkerchief to
pieces.
Cheeses more than a century old
may sometimes be tasted by travellers
in the Valais and Vaud Cantons of
Switzerland, where the finest Gruy-
ere is reported to be made. Antique
! cheeses are considered a great deli
cacy in the district, and by ancient
tradition each family possesses a
giant cheese which is handed down
as a souvenir from one generation to
another The cheese is religiously
guarded in the cellar, and only
brought out on the occasion of mar
riages, baptisms, and other family
events of exceptional Importance.
One family in the little village of Os-
mont is the proud possessor of a
cheese made in 1865. and therefore
now 14S years old.
The "ouvreuse" or cloak-room at
tendant, the pet abomination of Wis

celebrate her centenary. She origi-
mated through conflict between Bon
apartists and Legitimists during per-
Torrance at the Coincide Franchise a
hundred years ago, when the rival
parties attacked each other with such
violence that henceforth it was made
compulsory that all sticks, umbrellas
and anything else that could be used
as a weapon be deposited in the cloak
room.
The custom then originated has to-
day developed into the female ushers,
who show theater goers to their seats

Paris, July "a considerable SEN
sation was caused at the recent in
augural meeting of the congress of
the women's International Council,
held at the Sorbonne, by the Indian
female revolutionary, Carma.
BY some means not clearly estab-
lished, Carma obtained a seat on the
platform between the Australian and
Canadian delegates. The British and
Colonial representatives were some
what surprised to see the Indian wOm-
an sit down whenever the band played
God Save the King" but thought at
first that her conduct was due to in
advertenoe or some unintentional
cause. Their surprise, however, was
turned to CONSERVATION when, Selling
her opportunity, Carma rose to her
against British rule in India and ap-
pealed to France TO help the Indian
people throw off the yoke of King
Georges government. The minister
of the interior, NJ. Klotz, was horror
struck and Immediately sent someone
to tell the woman to stop. but efforts
to silence her only had the effect OF
making her speak louder.
The audience listened attentively to
what Carma said, and applauded her
when she sat down. II was apparent
that, with the exception of the Eng
lish and Colonial delegates, very few
of those present had understood one
word Of the violent address.

neer Unitarian worker in Japan. Like
DR.. Greene, Mr.. MacCauley has just
attained his 10th birthday, and his
friends gathered around a dinner ia
BILE properly to observe the event.
DR.. MacCauley came to Japan in
1889 to start the Unitarian mission in
Toxic in response to an invitation
from AZ group of prominent Japanese
publicists and educators. He is an
ardent traveller and knCB's every
nook and corner of the Japanese en-
pire.
DR.. MacCauley sums up his mission
in Japan as that of putting before the
Japanese a rational Interpretation of
| Christianity as a forceful factor in
western civilization, with the hope
that thereby the japanese may dis
cover in it a peculiarly helpful and
needful source of national power and
prosperity.
An incident which explains forcibly
the great devotion of the Japanese
to. their monarch recently occurred
in a village in the prefecture of Chiba,
! where a schoolmaster lost his life in
attempting to rescue a portrait of the
emperor.
A fire broke out in the village, and
| before a strong wind the flames
spread to the school house in which
was a portrait of the emperor. Mr..
| Ogura, the headmaster, arrived upon
the scene and finding the portrait of
the emperor in danger, rushed imme-
diately into the burning structure.
| Others followed him, bent upon the
| same mission. They were successful
for they soon emerged, singed and
grimy. but holding up the sacred like
ness of their emperor. Ogura, how
ever, did not come out and his body
was found later in the ruins.
The average American tourist will
doubtless agree with the opinion ex-
pressed by Mrs. Wickersham, the wife
of former Attorney general George w.
Wickersham, when she was asked by
the empress of Japan for her most
/ striking impressions of the country.
/ Mrs. Wickersham replied: Your
majesty, l think they are to be found
( in the flowers and the babies"
! ThereupOn her majesty replied: yes,

/ This reference occurred during a
charming and interesting audience
which was accorded by the emperor
and empress to Mr.. and Mrs. Wicker
