DIVIDED INTO SIX RACES
Differences in Branches of Mankind Are Marked-oriein of the
 Semitic Peoples.

Sanskrit is the language which was spoken by the easternmost branch of the Indo-Germanic or Aryan race. It cannot, therefore, be said whether the race or the language peculiar to that race is the elder, probably the former The advent of the Celtic Aryan into Europe is shrouded in mystery. There are apparently not even traditions of their time of emigration The Semitic race is one of the six races of man. kind, and is distinct from the Aryan. The races are Indo-Germanic or AT. van, white, of Europe. America, Per. sia, India and Australia The Mongo- Han or Turanian, yellow and brown, Asia. The Semitic, white Africa. Arabia, etc. The negro, black, Af- rica. The Malay or Polynesian, brown, Australasia. The American Indian, red, North and South America.
 The Semites are supposed to be the descendants of Shem-that is, the name originated in this way. The term was not in general use until the first quarter of this century, though it was used 1n Germany as early as 1781. It is applied to the races akin to the He brew, such as Arabian, or Assyrian. Some authorities consider the primi- tive seat of the race to be Africa, others Arabia, still others the lower Euphrates. The languages form an important family, and are divided into two principal branches, the northern and southern. To the northern branch belong the Assyrian and Aramean Cor Syrian), and the Palestinian, (Hebrew and Phoenician). To the Southern belong the Arabic and the Ethiopic.

DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words Possession" and "obsession" Really Have Very Much the Same
 Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obsess are etymologic- ally related, but usage has given them slightly different meanings. Both are from the Latin, and the second syl- lable of both, sess, is from sedere, to sit; therefore a session is a sitting;
 but possession is to sit before or near a thing as owning it, and obsession ia to be sat upon by 1t. This is not very illuminative, but 1t serves to mark different shades of meaning Yet the two words are so nearly synonymous that both have been used to describe the persecution of a human body by an evil spirit, though possession means operating from within and obession from without. The Bible speaks of those who were possessed with devils, and the Oxford dictionary gives one of the definitions of obsession as "the hostile action of the devil, or an evil spirit besetting anyone; actuation by the devil or an evil spirit from with out But while the authorities recog- nize a technical difference between possession and obsession as relating to the devils operations from within or from the outside, they do not diff ferentiate the moral results of the cases.

The Cheerful Japanese Ad.

Japanese advertisers, according to "The Cosmopolitan, in the Boston Evening Transcript, believe in a lavish use of superlatives. The paper we sell," runs the announcement in a To kyo stationer's window, lis as solid as the hide of an elephant" "Step in- side!" is the call of a big shop in the same city. You will be welcomed as fondly as ray of sunshine after a rainy day Our assistants are as amiable as father seeking a husband for a dowerless daughter. Goods are dispatched to customers houses with the rapidity of shot from the can. nen's mouth"

Saltwater Cataracts.

There are good many saltwater cataracts in existence. They may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow tiords, or arms of the sea, are ob- structed by barriers of rock. The ris- ing tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural res ervoirs beyond, but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible tor rent. Most curious of all is the wa terfall at Canoe Passage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia mainland. Here the flood tide from the Gulf of Georgia to the southward is held back at a mar row cleft between two islands until it pours over in boiling cascade Is feet high, with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide, however, the waters from the north rush back into the gulf producing a cascade of equal height and volume. The waterfall actually flows both ways.

This week marks the fortieth an- niversary of the first telephone the toy which amused people who visited Philadelphia centen- nial. The toy today is closely allied with our business and social life as we are ourselves. Without it we would be in sad way indeed. It transacts our business, makes less arduous work for our wives, brings them and us in closer touch with our friends, and has even been known to save lives. The tele- phone is one of the greatest ciyi- lizing forces in the world, and it is worthy of note that in no country has it reached such high develop ment as in the United States, the land of It's birth.

RACE MARK IN THE FACE
Subtle Sign of clanship That May Have Had Ifs Origin Numerous
 Centuries Ago.

No eloquence of tongue, nothing that stands written in any book, may sway the heart as does that elusive qual- ity-the race mark in a face. And this is true less of the obvious physical as- pect than of it's thousandth secret con- notations. All the world knows the Hapsburg lip, the jaw line of the Bona partes; the subtler marks of clanship keep their eloquenee for their own. Conspicuously or not, each family group stands before these symbols as the small company of the learned might before some inscription on a desert ruin Mere strokes and scratches to you and me. To the few who understand here is the key that unlocks the past.
 So the family look. In the arch of an eye orbit the curve Of chin, we read the signature of race. Chance imprints maybe, maybe seal of some struggle so profound as to have set our lips at this particular angle, or through dimming attentions to per petuate a gesture born a thousands years ago in joy or in some stark agony of body or of soul.
 The family look. The first we re- member: the last we shall forget Elizabeth Robins in Harper's Maga- zine.

REMEDY FOR "R0sY NOSE"
Frequently Careful Chewing and Pinch of Bicarbonate After Meals
 Will at Least Help.

If the nose gets very red after eat ing, or the skin of the face splotches in an unbecoming manner, the patient may be certain that her digestion is out of order. Careful chewing is the first requirement for cure of this unbecoming flushing, and little lime water or a pinch of bicarbonate could be taken after the meal At all times the lean woman should strive to relax and do things slowly. She should strive to encourage the joyous bee in her bonnet instead of the sorrowful one. She should eat when she is hun gry, if 1t be so often as six times day, drink plenty of fresh water, take sun baths and sleep in well venti- lated room. When she is on her feet a warm room will be far more con- ducive to health and plumpness than a cold one, and if she could get little holiday in a genuinely tropical eli mate she would be still further bene- fited. But quiet spirit and plenty of nourishing food and rest are the es- sential things, and if these require ments are not considered there Is not the least use of going any further. The travellers who take storm and stress along with them will never find the fountain of health and youth, es- pecially if they are tho thin sort.

Remarkable Birth Record.

What is believed to be a record in childbirth was established recently by a Mahratta woman in Bhor state, East India. This woman, at the age oi thirty-three, gave birrh to quintuplets. two males and three females. All were born alive, but 1t was not ex. pected they would live, owing to the want of nursing The same mother gave birth to three children last year, but all died within three months. A record of bearing eight children in a year IS believed to be uneuualed in medical annals.

DOGS CHARACTER A MYSTERY
Owners Unable to Determine Whether He Is Detective or Inclined
 to kleptomania.

The Newlyweds out in Crescent Hill are wondering if Rex is thief or a detective.
 Rex is a dog, a white, woolly dog, who Is minutes after having his bath looks as if he hadn't mad bath for a week. Rex is not hunter. He doesn't know what game looks like. He doesn't even chase cats. He is afraid of other dogs He is so tractable that he makes friends with anybody who pays him the slightest attention. He would be on terms of intimacy with a burglar in two minutes.
 So it can be seen that Rex's owners had good reason for thinking him good for nothing. even if they did love him. Now they are wondering wheth- CT he is worse than good for nothing or a valuable retriever.
 A few weeks ago Mrs. Newlywed lost a purse containing s16 in cash A long search failed to reveal it, and it was given up for lost
 Last Sunday Rex walked into the HouSS WitH SouetHiHS III HIS moutH. He laid his quarry on the floor. It was the purse and the $16 were in- tact.
 Now the question at the home of the Newlyweds is: Did Rex play de- tective and ind that money for it's legitimate owners, or did he return 1t after carrying it away himself? Rex's real character promises to remain mystery for a long time.-Louisyille TimaS

is a shade of difference between the
 two words, but the etymological diff
 ference is only skin deep, while, mor-
 ally speaking there is little or no diff ference between being operated by the devil from within or worked by him
 from the outside. In quoting some ex- amples of the use of obsession as re- lating to evil spirits, the Oxford dic- tionary remarks that, These cases belong rather to obsession than pos session, the spirits not actually inhab- iting the bodies, but hanging or how ering about them" Leaving the devil out of the case entirely and coming to ordinary affairs it may be said that while obsess and possess are different in some meanings they are synony- nous in others.

THE ULTIMATE RESULT.

The ultimate end of the Mexican business means our participation in war in which ALL Mexico will, sooner or later, be combined against us. Our start with Villa ths present objective, is merely the first steps toward intervention. We may call it punitive exposi-. tion" if we will. So was the expo stion after Aguinaldo in which man now active in Mexico, Fred Funston, distinguished himself. The capture of the willy Filipino chief, however, was child's play compared with the most notorious brigand on the face of the earth And blood is thicker than water. Down deep in their hearts the half breed population of Mexico hate the American gringo" with a hate that shoulders and then flares up. There is no love for Uncle Sam south of the Rio Grande, and there is little use trying to hide that very important fact from the people of the United States. Things are so shaping themselves right at this instant as to indicate a repetition of what happened over sixty years ago when General Scott marched his victorious troops through Santa Anna's country and brought that famous Mexican to his knees. Mexico, in her present state, can- not govern herself. The de factor government admits that it is DOW erless to protect itself from it's numerous foes. As the policeman of the western hemisphere Uncle Sam had better prepare for the task at hand,
