Divorce Made Easy.

Two Mohammedan natives quar-
relied, and in great heat one cursed
the religion of the other. To court
they went. and the Judge in an &C.
clesiastical court, it seems, declared
that, since the man had cursed his
own religion, he must be considered
to have voluntarily renowned Islam.
Therefore, as the law does not allow
marriage between a Mohammedan
woman and man who is not Of that
faith, the Judge ordered the man sepa-
rated from his wife! This is commend

Long time ago, in the days when
the clouds hung over the sky from the
time the people got up until they went
to bed, and the rain came pattering
down on the roofs hour after hour, the
old men would gather the little boys
who wanted to go out in the wet woods
to play, and tell them that they must
wait until the sun had stopped crying
over the death of her daughter.
And while the little boys listened,
the old men would tell them about
how the wise medicine men got word
from the Yunwi Tsunsdi (the little
people Of the woods to send the rat
tlesnake to kill the sun. In those days
the sun shone so hot every day that
many people were made sick by the
heat.
The old men would tell about how
the rattlesnake went up to the house
of the daughter of the sun, in the
middle of the sky, and made a mis-
take. 1t was the daughter of the sun
be killed instead of the sun herself!
49," the old men would say, "the
sun began to weep as soon as she
found out that her daughter had been
killed, staying up in her daughters
house SO long that the people grew
cold and afraid because it was dark all
the time
Then came the chief of the Little
People and told the wise medicine men
that they would have to send messen-
gers to Tsunginai (the Ghost Country
in Ushunhiyi (the Darkening Land in
the Vest to bring back the daughter
of the sun.
$50 the wise medicine men chose
seven hunters to go to the Ghost Coun-
try, and they set out carrying a box
to bring the daughter of the sun back
in. When they got to that country,
they found all the ghosts at big
dance, just as the chief Of the Yunwi
Tsunsdi said they would.
"And just as they had been told to
do, they stood close by the circle Of
dancers, and. whenever the daughter
Of the sun came round in the dance.

KISSES SHOCKED HIM
JAPANESE COULD NOT UNDER.
STAND WESTERN sALUTATION.
Declared, for Instance, That 1t Gave
Him a Queer Feeling to See Aged
Couple Thus Greet Each 9th
er on the Pavement.


Smimasa Idichi relates, in the To-
kyo Far East, some of his, surprising
adventures among the kissing races
of the West. He describes the hor-
ror of English women of his acquaint-
ance when he told them that he had
never kissed his mother in all his
life
'The first thing the English child
learns is how to kiss" he says. "The
first thing the Japanese child learns is
how to bow" kissing is not prac-
tised in Japan" he told his English
friends, not because the people are
stony hearted, but because cit is re-
garded as the height of bad man.
ners."
The kiss in Japan, it seems, is fit
only to mothers. "a Japanese mother
is often seen to kiss the baby in her
arms, but when the baby leaves its
mothers arms-that is, when it can
get along by itself, and feels a sort
of self-consciousness-it would not al
low it's mother to kiss it." He men
lions the complaint of Western visit
ors to Japan that 1--WE Japanese ex-
pose too much of our natural bodies"
Though the natural body lis one of
the most beautiful forms on earth, "
the Japanese critic of kissing con-
cedes that it should not be too much
exposed.
Much of the kissing that he OBJ
served in England distressed this SEN
sitive Japanese not little. when I
saw" he writes, IAN old couple, with
careworn faces and tottering steps
kissing each other on the pavement
of the London street, could not help
feeling rather unpleasant. 1 cannot
give an adequate reason for it, but
somehow do not feel pleasant when
l see the conventional custom of kiss
ing between married people kept up
to old age" Surely it is impossible
for a Westerner to fathom the orr
entail mind.
The Japanese observer got into an
odd predicament through other peo-
pies kissing. He was strolling about
Hampstead Heath one day when he
found himself in a narrow footpath
and in front of him he saw a young
man and a girl seated on a bench.
Presently" he relates, "the two
heads came together and they were
finally lost behind the girls hat. I
knew what was going on behind the
scenes, SO I stopped short and pre-
tended to be looking another way, so
as not to disturb their happy state.
Now and then l turned toward the
scene to see If it weren't already over.
was in the predicament for about
half an hour cit seemed so long to
mel; but the two heads still remained
in close attachment. At last I gave
up waiting until the end of the scene
and crossed the field, taking another
path
Thus was demonstrated once more
that the Japanese know all about po-
likeness, even if they do not under
stand kissing.
