GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE
FOR NATIONAL GUARD

Probably the busiest office in the
state capitol these days is the Office
of Adjutant General Sullivan. He
has received orders from the govern
or to proceed with the organization
and mastering in of the first Install
ment of volunteers for service on the
Mexican border, and is doing all of
the thousand and one things neces-
sary to get things in shape for the
arrival of the men in Carson, where
they will be mustered into service,
fitted out with their uniforms and
other equipment in the least possible
time and sent to the front. Saturday
the office received from the military
headquarters in San Francisco 5000
pounds of blankets and bedding for
the men who are expected in a few
days, and the stuff was Immediately
taken to the state armory building
and slowed ready for issuance to the
men when they arrive. The armory.
which Is known as the state police
building, has been cleaned out in
readiness for the use of the cavalry
men as sleeping quarters. The men,
until Uncle Sam recognizes them and
takes them over will be boaredd at
the hotels of Carson.
Mastering officers have been APP
pointed at different points over the
state, and citizens who wish to serve
the country may have their names en-
rolled by calling at the places where
the big flag flies. Those in charge OF
the enlisting stations are supplied
with the necessary information, and
will supply 1t on request.
Applicants for enlistment will be
examined by physicians at the place
of enlistment, and after passing this
test will be furnished transportation
and lodged at the expense of the
state until the full quota shall have
been accepted as physically fit, when
they will be given in charge of the
United States authorities and for

GUIDEROOK IN MUCH DEMAND

Light on Travelling.

The guidebook most sought after by
collectors is Information for Pyl-
grymes Unto the Holy Londe," which
is valuable because of the light it
throws On fifteenth century travelling,
and still more because it was printed
by Caxton. The father OF English
printing was practical man, who set
himself to produce books for which
there was a demand, while other early
printers ruined themselves by print
ing luxurious editions Of classics that
lay in their warehouses unsold.
His guidebook scrupulously sets out
all that was needed in order to make
q pilgrimage as cheaply and comfort
ably as possible. There were two
routes to Venice-then the favorite
port for Jerusalem pilgrims-and Cax-
ton gives the itineraries of both. He

DRIVING AWAY DEMONS
ANCIENT CEREMONY RECENTLY
HELD IN JAPAN.
Superstition Dying Slowly in the En-
pire of the Mikado-Has Been an
Annual Custom for Twelve
Hundred Years.

Ceremonies were held recently
throughout the Japanese empire-in
household, shrine and temple--to drive
away the demons of ill-fortune. The
date corresponds to the old Chinese
New Year, marking the transition from
winter to spring under the ancient cal
endar.
Tradition long observed in Japan
holds the demons of i'll luck may be
kept away during the year by pelting
them with hard beans and by hanging
outside the door a branch of holly
hook and the head of herring. The
idea is that the herring, whose odor
is distasteful to the demon, will keep
the evil one from entering the house,
and that il he succeeds in entering he
will be blinded by the beans. Each
member of the household takes as
many beans as he has years, and
throws them in all directions and in
all the rooms of his house.
1t was about 1900 years ago, dur
ing the reign of the Emperor Monbu
that the first ceremony of demon re-
moving was held in Japan. Adopting
the rite from China, the emperor in
corporated it with the object of stamp
ing out an epidemic that ragged
throughout the land.
The recent modern celebration was
like this: Toward evening house
wives become busy preparing for the
celebration; beans are cracking in
kettles and feasts are prepared for
the family god and the family. Mean
while the husbands clean the shrine,
light the sacred lights and burn in
cense, while awaiting the beans and
the feast.
Parched beans are offered in a wood
en- box to the family god, and the fam
ly clap their hands and reverently bow
before the shrine. Then the master
carrying the box of beans, starts round
his house, followed by his children to
pelt out the demons of misfortune.
When he throws beans toward the di-
rection of the god of good fortune he
cries out: Come in, fortune!" and
when he pelts toward the other direc-
ton he shouts: go out, demons!"
Children gather the scattered beans
and vie with each other in seeing who
gets most
There Is superstition regarding
the word bean" which may explain
why it plays such part in the cere-
mony. The Japanese for bean" is
name" and +mame" means health"
Therefore the bean is the emblem of
good fortune.

Meant Well. But

Viscount French of Ypres often tells

General French-as he then was

day. and as he pulled on his cigar he
noticed that 800 young Frenchmen had
nothing to smoke whatever.

quickly distributed among the troops.

It seems that over there where the

front, upon any of the grave missions
which permit civilian to get within

adopt sort of uniform. He rigs hir-
self up like a Richard Harding Davis

Not long ago, according to report, two

the smaller peaks of the Maritimes,
Of the graceful Cottians, or of recon
dite Dauphine. To each region there
is charm all its own. And as with
the peaks, SO with the valleys. The
better we come to know them the more
varied do we find them. We soon
learn to divide them into two main
contrasting groups: Those that In
cline northward, mainly into German
lands, and those that bend south down
to the rich Italian plain, and these lat
ter are far more charming than the
others.
Are Essentially Different.
In ancient days the region north of
the Alps was mainly a dense forest.
South of them has always been the
open fertile Italian plain. The winds
from the north were dry and cold;
those from the south warm and laden
with fertilizing moisture. Thus nature
herself imposed a different atmos-
phere upon these two sundered re-
gions; and though now, on both sides,
the forests have been driven aloft and
the lands suitable for 1t have been
tanned beneath the pillow, the essential
difference abides. Fertile Italy climbs
aloft from one side; strenuous Ger
many from the other The very do
nestle architecture proclaims the diff
ference. The Italian valleys of the
Alps are old friends of the sun and Of
the vine. Bacchus and Pan are there
at home. They seem to open to the
visitor a warm heart. Even where the
lemon cannot bloom the scent of 1t
seems to penetrate. The southern val
leys always seem to draw one from the
Alpine heights as those to the north
never can. You may not be able to
see the Mediterranean far to the south,
but you know and seem to feel that 1t
is there, and thither you are impelled
by the strange force that has drawn
the men of the north southwark since
the days when the Dorians swept down
upon the Aegean and long before.
This southwark tendency It was that
brought the Germans over into Italy

"HE rising generation will know

memory Of what has thus been i'm

away.
Nothing was further removed from

countries through which they passed
as likely in their own day to be devas

Innsbruck to Italy he could scarcely
avoid noticing the Notifications of

there and what they were expected to
attain-as to all that the mere tourist
thought little and cared less. For no
landscape in the world Is less sugges-
tive OF war than a mountain landscape.
Nature seems to have built up noun
tains to keep hostile people apart She
might have done the work great deal
better. Why did she leave here and
there such notable gaps in their
ranges? Why did she spread those
ranges out SO widely from side to side,
and dip into them such attractive val
ley approaches?
Form No Racial Boundary.
There is hardly mountain range in
the world that does not invite men
to traverse 1t somewhere. The Alps
are particularly thus preached, with
the result that for all their formidable
