ORIGIN OF JAPANESE UMBRELLA
TRICK

Feats with an umbrella-of the Jap
anese kind--are very common writes
NJ. Gintaro in the February Strand. The
juggler throws up a ball. catches it on
the top of an open umbrella, and. by
twisting the handle rapidly, causes the
ball to run round the edge of the um-
breila. A similar feat is performed
with curtain rings and with coins; the
smaller and lighter coin the more diff
ficult the feat
All these feats were originated by a
street performer in Japan. One day,
while passing under the walls of a
castle. a small audience collected on
the top of wall and playfully dropped
some tangerines on to the comedian of
the company of struggling jugglers.
(No such company is complete without
a comedian). The next day the come
dian was treated in the same manner,
and so he put up paper umbrella to
shoeld himself The shower of anger
ines broke through the umbrella Then
the leading juggler of the company saw
his opportunity. He took the umbrella,
twisted it quickly, and. by making it
| revolye, caused the tangerines to fly off
helped by a lucky accident One of the
tangerines rolled round the umbrella
once before dropping on the ground.
The 5uggler picked up the tangerine
and caught II once more on his re-
volving umbrella. and thus the feat
was invented. The hardest feat of all
with the umbrella is done with a Jap
anese coin which is lighter than an
American cent

WHAT CAUSES colds? J?

Colds" is asked thousand times

not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition Of the

foods are essential because they dis

WUSTERGREEN

New England woods are softly fair,
And many marvels gather there
The flaming bush, the soaring pine,
The shining birch, the swinging vine;
But lord of all the varied scene
rank the lowly wintergreen.
Its glossy little leaves are found
Close creeping on the humble ground
But all the sweetness of the wood,
It's fragrant quaintness firm and good
Its charms that dazzle and enchant,
Are centered in the modest plant.
Those thick and lustrous leaves con-
tain
The essence of this dear domain.
Its favor kindly, pungcnt, keen,
The homely taste of wintergreen,
It's flower a Puritanic white,
Its berry scarlet for delight.
How sturdily it lifts its head
And shows its glowing green and red.
How through the winter cold and bare
1t still is fragrant, fresh and fair.
And. like its own New England, knows
A grace that shines in deepest SHOWS!

Magazine and Suburban Life for

w THILE the ground is frozen and
N/ the weather man looks for
w ward to six or eight weeks
more of winter weather, the
optimistieally inclined are seeing signs
of coming Spring.
For instance. there is the annual
discussion of the big league training
Tri-State stars and managers in Har-
risburg to discuss plans for the coming
season.
The garden seed catalogs are flood
ing the mails and the ground hog day
looms up on the calendar. The ice
man has harvested his annual supply.
and the Spring onion is on the market.
The strawberry is coming up from the
South at so cents per box and the little
red breakfast radishes have made their
appearance at cents per bunch.
Even the North Carolina shad has
Topped to the front and all that we
need to convince us that the balmy
days of Spring time are really ap-
preaching is the announcement that
local milliners have gone to Philadel-
phia or New York to lay in their an
nual supplies.
All this by way of fouting the
weather forecaster and announcing
that we don't care a whoop for his old
cold wave flag flying on the Federal
building to-day.

LONG DISTANCE IN TRUTH

~ ITTING comfortably in his office
on Wall street the busy finan
~ cier may now pick up his tele-
phone, say "Hello, central, give
me Frisco" and in a few moments be
in confidential conversation with his
representative on the Pacific coast.
The latest achievement of the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany flashes the human voice 3,400
miles of distance in one-fifteenth of a
second, space that the fastest rail-
road train requires some four or five
DAYS to cover.
This latest marvel of mechanical
perfection and human ingenuity is q
tribute to the effectiveness of the busi-
ness organization that has made il
possible. Likewise it is an argument
in favor of Big Business. Without a
company of nationwide scope, capable
of putting this long line of copper
wire into harmonious connection, the
present cross-continent telephone SER
vice would be impossible. No series of
individual companies could operate it
successfully, however much they
might desire to do so. and even if it
were possible under such a disjointed
arrangement the cost would be so high
ns to make 1t impracticable.
We are too prone to condemn what
Is commonly called Trust" In this
particular instance. the combination
Of local companies and their amalga-
nation into one great system has been
distinctly beneficial. Not only has the
service been improved, but the rates
have been steadily lowered. We are
talking across the continent to-day
because of the fact that the efforts of
a certain number of telephone finan-
ciers have been directed over a period
of years toward a combination of all
of the branches of that great industry
which they found possible to bring to-
gether under one head.
Truly this transcontinental speech is
y long distance achievement in more
senses than one.

NOT so VERY DANGEROUS

A WRITER in the London Globe
"A points out what he regards as a
4 y menace to the peace of the
United States when he draws
attention to the fact that there exists
here "a body of citizens with divided
allegiance who would not scruple to
embroil the nation if they can"
It is true that ,here are partisans of
the allies so strong in their feelings
that they would plunge the nation into
war in behalf of the opponents of Ger
many in the present European conflict.
There are also Germans here who
would not look upon an International
crisis over the Dacia affair with COM
plete dissatisfaction, and not a few
Irish whose sympathy easily might be-
come actively anti-British, although
in the main the sons of the Emerald
Isle are loyal in their allegiance to
Great Britain.
These comprise a small but noisy
group. The great rank and file of our
people are determined to remain abso-
lutely neutral and to do nothing that
will endanger the peace of the United
States or detract from the position this
country will hold as peacemaker when
the fires of war shall have burned
themselves out.
Partisan efforts to involve the coun-
try are less dangerous than they are
annoying. They will come to nothing
If the administration at Washington
will only be as practical in its views as
are the rank and file of American citi-
zenship

In rhythmic flow;
Softly, we winds of morning,
Caressing blow:
There in the shadow hidden,
Where ripples creep,
Lies a wee babe of Israel,
Alone, asleep!
Tiny the ark of rushes,
Why drifts it there?
Soothing the morning bushes,
The babe is fair
Time will reveal Gods purpose.
The story tell;
Doubt not his saving power,
Oh, Israel!
Sleep, babe, in peace; God wills it;
No danger fear;
Powers of earth shall tremble,
Thy God is near.
He will deliver Israel
From Pharaoh's hand:
Thou shalt behold in glory
The Promised Land.

Safe watch they keep;

Drifting upon the river,

A TEAM OF TURTLES

Rex Bassler, a youngster of six. liv-
ing at Darien, Wis. U. s. A., has prob
world-s team of eight swapping
turtles. from so to 75 years old. weigh
ing about thirty pounds each. Rex has
tanned these creatures, which naturally
are savage. and they draw him in his
eX~ress wagon like ponies driven by
other children, although they are not
likely to shatter any speed records.
The youngster learned that turtles
could be tanned while watching his
father catch turtles for the New York
and Philadelphia markets. PersuadinE
his father to give him some of the
largest, he finally grouped them for n
driving team. and they seem to enjoy
the sport as much as Rex likes to ride
behind them. These turtles are so old
that their backs are covered with
moss. The team is kept in line by
means of a wire harness, which is run
through holes drilled in the edges OF
the thick shells.-From the February
Strand.
