FATALIsM CURSE OF JAVA.
Conquered Followers of Mahomet On
 Island Have no Ambition.

The garden par excellence of the tropic world is Java, yet intellectual ly, says the Scientific Monthly, it is but a cemetery of withered hopes and ambitions wrecked in mockery. for over all there broods the dull fatalism of despair-the sufficient unto the day" of the conquered fol- lower of Mahomet.
 Ambition, if it exists in the Java of today, seems powerless to raise it's people above the condition of the Asiatic peasant. There is no well-to-do class of native artisians. and one may travel throughout the land and find hardly a native shop upon whose wares the European may bestow a glance of admiration, save only for the vanishing art of baticck cloth and the still more moribund manufacture of the Krees.
 Ant-like over the whole land, in every view, there swarms the dull faced, docile collie of the soil. Meas ured by standards of morality, a

EVEN AMERICA HAS ITS
 MUMMIES.

' Dr. Hart Merriam, of Washing ton, D. C., has presented the United States National Museum with g smoke-dried head of Brazilian In dian.
 The gruesome object is ono ot the few specimens in this country of these rare human trophies eel lected and prepared by the Parentin- tin tribe of the Tapajos River in Pa ra, Brazil.
 It is the head of another tribes men, killed and preserved by the Parentintins. The dried skin is yellow and stretched tightly over he skin; the. black hair hangs lc-,se in b6bbed style; the eyes are covered by wax conss ornamented by two small teeth to initiate the pupils of the eyes, and the ears are still decorated with the cord insertions and tufts of red and yell low parrot feathers worn by the 1n- dian in life. Originally, when used as trophy, it was suspended by a cord, which Still emerges from the mouth.
 Unlike the better known Jiberos of the upper Amazon, who preserve the heads of their enemies by re-  moving the skull bones and skrink- ing and drying the skin until the head is much reduced in size, the Parentintins leave the head in its normal form. They first remove the brain, then smoke the head by use of an aromatic wood until it is dri- ed, and hang. it up to decorate their houses. Their work is as scientific as that of the mummy makers of Egypt.

NEXT WAR WILL BE IN CHINA
(American Review.)


 British diplomacy has been cahrg- ed with two great blunders in the present war, the failure to handle the Balkan crisis and pacify Bull garia, and the failure to prevent the alliance of Turkey with the Central r Powers. It is responsible for a third, equally great but hidden for the moment in the greater urgency of war. It has failed to prevent the entrance of Japan into China. Through this error England has opened the way for her own ally to become her greatest commercial and political rival in the Orient.
 The next war--difficult as it now is to conceive of further bloodshed -is likely to have its root at Kiau- chau, so easily taken from the Ger mans by Japan. For on the corner stone of this ancient province, the cradle of the Chinese race and the home of Confucius, a new empire is scheduled to rise-the greater Nippon that is the dream of every Japanese. H s
 With the elimination of Germany, the problem of- the Far East has been profoundly altered. England. France and Russia, who had once been eager for the partition of China, division prevented largely by their own mutual jealousies, are today conscious of new menace and new problem after the war. A youthful power determined at any cost to dominate the East commer- cially confronts them, eager for the day when they can be busted poli- tically from the East as well.

source of commercial weakness, and Java has not always "paid," despite her conquerors' efforts to obtain as much profit from her as their con- science and the public spirit of their times would permit. The water supply of her countless mountain streams. might turn the wheels of many mill but Java still sends her products abroad in the form of raw materials, and the cultivation of cotton is not even attempted.

WHEREIN is REAL ECONOMY
Going In Person to Buy for House
hold Bound to Save Money on
the Weekly Bills.

Economy does not merely imply liv-
ing more cheaply and thereby OF me-
cessity cutting down either the quality
or quantity of food, or both. True
economy lies In obtaining as good, or
nearly as good, value for the lesser ex-
penditure.
How many wives whose husbands
are earning. say, between $1,000 and
81, 500 a year, still think II beneath
their dignity to do more than the most
dainty of shopping? The habit Of or
dering at the door is an ingrained one,
and to some minds smacks of superb
.ority; but an examination of the ex-
tent to which higher prices have nee
essarily to be paid IN this way would
Surprise a good many.
This only applies to the difference
between the actual cash price paid at
the shop and the price charged by the
same tradesmen who collects orders
and delivers and very often has to
allow a bill to be run up, to say moth
ing of the odd ounces frequently
charged on the bill, wnich, mad the paT
chaser been present at the weighing,

This, however, is not the only saw
ing which can be made as between
personal shopping and giving orders
at the door, says the New York Eve
ming Telegram. A keen shopper,
with ready cash available, will soon
find a substantial difference between
various shops supplying the same
commodities within quite a small
radius II the trouble is taken to ascer-
tain prices. This means trouble, but
looked at sensibly it results in the
equivalent of earning money, for mon
ey saved is money earned In a dis
tinct sense in housekeeping.
Moreover, when purchasing in per
son one can always insist upon get
ting the best article at the price,
whereas If the goods are delivered
after ordering at the door, II they are
found to be not quite up to the mark,

ODD WAYS OF KEEPING TIME
Lonely Australians Have Many Meth
DDS by Which They Compute the
Passing Of the Hours.

On the immense sheep ranches in
Australia each OF the boundary riders
has a district to look after, in which
he has to keep the wire fences in re-
pair and see that the sheep come to
no harm. II is a hard, lonely life, in
which the rider rarely sees another
human being. Many of the men have
strange ways of keeping count of the
days.
One rider, who had lived for thirty
years in the back country, used two
jam tins and seven pebbles. One tin
was marked This Week" and the 9TH
er, Last Week" On Sunday morning
he was accustomed to take a pebble
out of Last Week" and drop II into
This Week" This operation he re-
peated every morning until This
Week" had used up the seven. They
were then returned to Last Week."
one each day; and the old fellow
knew when another week had passed.
Another rider, named Eagan, tried
several plans to keep count Of the
days, but always failed. At last he hit
.. z novel and attractive method. He
made a big damper-the name the
Australians give to cake of flour and
water with a seasoning of salt-on
Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was a days al
1owance, and the slices that remained
told him the number of days that must
pass before Sunday came again.
For several weeks this method new
er failed him. Unfortunately, one
Tuesday he fell in with a fellow rider
who was very hungry. Eagan stinted
himself, in order that the ravenous
one might be satisfied with that days
section of the damper. But it was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. He could
stand it no longer.
stop, now, stop!" he yelled, as he
clutched the remains of the damper
and glared at his visitor. There" he
continued, you've eaten Tuesday and
you've eaten Wednesday, and now you
want to slice the best of the mornin'
of Thursday! Not IL l can stop it,
sonny l won't be knowing the day
Of the week!"-Youths Companion.

Lions in Panama.

Both black and yellow lions are OF
the panther type, but with longer legs,
shorter bodies and broader chests, says
a Panama correspondent. They stand
about thirty inches high. At bay they
fight fiercely and no dog is a match
for them because they combine great
strength with catlike agility. Lions
and wildcats are sometimes taken
when cubs and brought up in the
homes of the natives. Until the age
of puberty they are as tame as house
cats, but then they become very vic
ious.
