RACE OF Amos DYING OUT.
Historic Race of People in Northern ia
pan Now Number 10000.

, Toxic Feb. DEMONSTRATORS call at
tention to the fact that the historic race
of the Amos, the aborigines of northern
Japan, is slowly out. 1t is estimated
that these residents of Hokkaido, the
most northerly of the great islands max
ing mp the Japanese empire, are now no
more than 10000.
The Amos, dark, picturesque appear
ing people, live in groups of 20 to 40
houses in scattered districts on the is
land. In spite of ceaseless efforts on the
part of the central government and each
prefectural government in their behalf,
which give them allotted portions of
land, provide them with habitation,
give them instructions in farming, and
furnish them with necessary education,
they nevertheless show no sign of benz
filing from the care taken of them. Jap
anese writer's term them an indotant, i'm
provident race and declare that both men
and women are addicted to drinking AMI

benefit as a nuisance.
The male Amos pass their time in
hunting and fishing, The women are d.
scribed as more industrious. Bear hunt

but the bears like the Amos themselves,
are becoming fewer. The men have dark

primitive people worship the sun.

RICHMOND AND WRITERS.
The Literary Renown With Which the
City 10 Associated.

City 10 Associated.
Richmond may be likened to Boston
as q literary center. In an article pub
lished some years ago in Book News
Alice NJ. Tyler refers to Colonel WI.
liam Byrd. who founded Richmond In
1738. as the sprightliest and most
genial native American writer before
Franklin"
In the time of Chief Justice Marshall
Richmond had considerable group of
novelists, historians and essayists. but
the great literary name connected with
the place is that of Edgar Allan Poe,
who spent much of his boyhood In the
city and later edited the Southern Lit
erary Messenger. Matthew Fontaine
Maury, the great scientist, was at an
other time editor of the same period
ical, as was also John Reuben Thomp-
son, Poet OF the Confederacy," who
wrote. among other poems. Music In
Camp" and who translated Gustave
Nadaud's poem, 'Carcassonne."

MOST POWERFUL ORGAN.
Famous Old instrument In St. PauI's
Cathedral, London.

Cathedral, London.
The organ of st. Paul's cathedral in
London is the most powerful In the
world. There is weight of three
tons ON the bellows. and some of it's
giant pipes disappear from view In the
recesses of the enormous dome. Some
of the smaller pipes are up by the
altar. and the rest are either hidden
away behind the long row of choir
stalls or are seen towering on either
side of the choir gates. But all are
controlled from little organ loft In
which Is scarcely room for anyone be-
side the organlst seated at the key
board.
There are five rows of keys and two
tiers of over 100 ivory handle stops.
The organist showed how, by pressing
with his thumb one of a row of buttons
as he played, whole combinations of
stops were pushed out or pushed in.
He demonstrated too, how with the
slightest pressure he could transform
the sound of the organ from the softest
and sweetest of tones to volume
which rolled and seemed to shake the
entire building.
The organ is very ancient one 1t
was built between the years 1924 and
100 by one Bernard Schmidt, a cele-
brated German organ maker. and cost
aver $1,000 Schmidt was merely re-
sponsible for the inside work, the case
being supplied by a Joiner for just over
$3.50, while the carving on the case
cost nearly f116. The organ has since
undergone entire reconstruction, but
all Schmidt's pipes have been retained
and are now doing as good service az
when they were made.-London Mail.

Disgusting EPSON Salt.

Seeking for various ways of disguis-
ing the taste of EPSON salt has become
something of fad Here Is the very
latest suggestion. and very good one:
To each teaspoonful of salt add one
fourth teaspoonful of cream Of tartar
and little sugar Dissolve in little
hot water and add cold water A small.
Fl dose of salt is required when the
cream of tartar is used, since it hastens
.he action of the EPSON salt.

to his new-made friends and when
he is questioned as to her identity
declares that his mother is "his old
nurse"
The mother hears his remark-and
Catherine also hears it. That night
when John is asleep the mother
steals into the room and gently kiss
es him good bye. She has brought
him a basket of goodies from home
and these she unpacks. Leaving the
table in her room piled with cookies,
jam, knitted sox and other things
she has brought from home to her
boy, the mother steals out into the
night. On awaking the next morn
ing and going to his mothers room
John finds only her little note: "The
city is no place for an old lady. Pm
going back where belong"
John suddenly comes to his senses
and realizes how heartless and neg
lectful he has been. He goes at once
to Catherine and pleading that their
engagement may be considered at ar
end, John declares that he shall de-
vote the rest of his life to his mother
He so arranges his business affairs
that nothing shall interfere with his
plan and as the picture ends John
and his mother are shown in full en-
joyment of each others love at the
old home. Here Catherine and her
mother call, and John renews their
betrothal; the girl having the last
word: "Kiss me, you big Indian"

AN IRISH KAISER

When the war is over
Just take a tip from me,
There'll be no German submarines
A diving through the sea
For the fatherland of "Kaiser Bill"
The guy we're going to lick,
Will have brand new Kaiser
And he'll be an Irish Mick.
Well change the song, "Die Wacht
an Rhine" into an Irish Reel,
And wake the Dutchman dance it,
If tbs so inclined we feel
For the police force in Berlin
Will be Micks from Country Glare
When we put an Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.
Sure in every German parkway
You will find a sweet colleen,
And in the fields of waving sauer-
kraut
Well plant the Shanrocks green.
No liverworst or sausage when
/ The Dutchman drinks his suds:
He'll get corned beef and cabbage
And the ogod old Irish spuds.
The hathen guns and gas bombs,
Well take them all away,
And make them use shilalahs
Or bricks of Irish clay.
They'll sport no iron crosses;
Sure tbs Shamrocks they will wear
When we put an Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.

THE STORY

In the suburbs of small country
town lives Mrs. Standing, widow,
who sets her whole heart upon her
only son, John. The young man is
at college, preparing himself for a
business career and in the early
scenes he brings home party of his
chums to spend weekend and en-
JOY good, old fashioned, home din
aer. Great is Johns love and pride
his mother is the center of all his
Youthful affection and ambitions.
But when he goes to the city to
make his fortune his busy life is fill
ed with such important business at
fairs that he neglects to visit his old
mother in the old home, although
frequently promising and as often
disappointing her through his neg
lect. Fortune has smiled upon
young Standing. His wealth is a
mazing and he becomes prominent
in business and society. The love he
formerly devoted entirely to his mo-
thcr is now diverted, in large meas
ure. through his admiration for Cath
er:nc, beautiful society girl, who
loves him in return.
Finally the mothers heart-hunger
impels her to go to him, since he
will not come to her. She decides to
surprise him and, consequently, ar
rives at his palatial residence on an
evening when he is holding an Ella
oorate reception as host to his So
,iety friends The mother makes her
way to the door and, after explaining
to several servants that she wants to
see "Mr. Standing" the son finally
directs that she shall be shown to a
room off his librery, where he will
see her directly.
The mother waits, and when her
boy finally comes to her great is his
Joy at finding her there. She is
gowned in quaint, old-fashioned
dress and her shawl and bonnet are
in strange contrast with the dress OF
his society friends. John is plainly
distressed when he finds that his
mother is so different in appearance
