Noted WeIshnnen.

It may be remarked that the small
piece of British territory known as
Wales has been the mOtherland Of
other great men than the Lloyd
George of today. The Welsh have
long been noted for their Obstinacy
and steadfastness Of purpose. and ut
the head of these FOR resOluteness of
purpose and indomitable will may be
mentioned no less person than Oliver
Cromwell. lord protector Of England.
The race was originally Welsh, and
bore the name Of Williams, but the
great-graniifather of the protector
changed it to Cromwell in compliance
with wish 6e1 .E:~ary VIII, taking that
name in honor of relation, Thomas
Cromwell, earl of Essex. Hcn.-sy Ward
Beechcr, the great preacher, at one
time pastor Of the Second Presbyte-
rian church of New York city, was of
Welsh extraction. The father and
mother of the late John l.. Grlf.!ths
were 10th born in Wales, and perhaps
1t was in his Cymric blood that Mr..
Griffiths was SO gifted in oratory.

The Overt Act Again.

Billy and Memo were great friends.
Billy was goat and Memo n young
thoroughbred bull. They spent many
hours each day, heads together, push
ing one another about, the bulls great
er weight doing all the pushing. The
whole barn lot was dug up by Billy's
sharp hoofs. One day. when engaged
in their favorite pastime, Nemo's stub.
by horns became locked in Billy's curly
ones. 1t seemed for time that they
could not "let co." Then Memo gave
a mighty toss of his head, throwing
Billy clear over him. Billy landed
right side up with a shrill cry that
seemed to say, you're too dinged
rough" He pranced around in front
of Memo and with a mighty burst of
speed planted a Knockout" blow in
the center Of Nemo's forehead. With
Il stiiled moan, Memo fell to the ground
"f"r the count" Billy surveyed the
wreck, then strobe haughtily away
but never after were Billy and Memo
seen in their old sport.-Indianapolis

FAN MEANS MUCH IN JAPAN
Every Native Carries One and Il Has
Much Significance, According
As Il ls Used.

1t Is no exaggeration to say that in
Japan everybody carries fan. and q
fan means great many things, &C.
cording as 1t is used.
There is an enormous variety of
fans. The cheapest and most usual
forms are familiar to everyone. One
OF the most curious varieties is the
Iron war fun. This was invented in
the eleventh century for the use of
military commanders, either for direc.
ton Of their soldiers or as shield for
defence. 1t Is made Of leather or iron.
The water fans are made Of bamboo,
and are thinly lacquered, so that they
may be dipped in water to secure extra
GOODNESS while tanning. Another kind
Is the revolving white fan, which clings
around its stick, and can be rolled up.
Another strong, fiat paper fan is used
as bellows to blow the charcoal fire In
the kitchen.
The "agi" are folding fans. They
are painted with flowers and tied with
white silk. These are the court fans,
and different flowers are appropriated
by different great families.
Sometimes an innocent-looking fan.
case holds dagger, while preachers
carry notes on their sermons in theirs.
All the old legends are told by the ar

the fan expand so the road of life
widens out towards a prosperous fu.

AMAZING is VOGUE OF GOLF
Many Americans Now Play Game IN
known to Them Twenty-Five
Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago there was a.
much golf played in the United States
as there is baseball played in the cen
trail Villages of the Fiji islands. Which
is to say, practically none whatsoever
writes Grantland Rice In the New YOrh
Tribune.
Yet facing 1917 there are $500 golf
courses, covering more than 100000
acres, inhabited by something like 500:
600 players of both sexes. from twelve
to eighty years of age. In the broad
span Of sport no one can recall such
q development as this in SO short q
time.
The change from 1890 to 1917 is N.
most beyond belief. No one knows
earlier conditions better than Jack
Clark, the well-known professional at
the Madison Country club, Madison
Conn.
"Ill never forget" he says, "when I
brought my clubs from Scotland
through the custom house In Boston
back in May, 1890. The custom house
officer first thought they were pc.

field were playing baseball, and they
thought we were crazy. But few Of

and soon returned with shiny stick.

me, but we call it shiny over here.
And it was all could do to make him

same"

Germs Of Malaria Hibernate in Ma,

NJ. B. Mitzmain of the United States
public health service, went mosquito
hunting in Mississippi between Fcbru.
airy and June, 1915. He wanted to
find out where the malaria germs hi.
bernated. There is little or no ma.
laria during the winter. He caught
more than 1000 anopheles mosquitoes,
all females, but not one of them con.
tanned the parasites. At the same
time he examined the blood of 1854
human beings and found that 1872 OF
them carried the germs.
From this he came to the conclusion
that man and not the mosquito is re.
sponsible for perpetuating malaria
from season to season. Which leads
the Scientific American to suggest
that the way to rid mosquitoes Of ma.
laria is to exterminate men.

sizing PEARLS ART
No Machine Yet Devised to Strinu
Gems Properly.
Only Clever, Praeticed Fingers Of olrls
and Women Long Trained In Work
Get Desired Results.

It appears that for pearl stringing
no machinery has yet been devised to
take the place Of clever, practiced
fingers. The pearl-stringers are, for
the most part, girls and women; and
generally they have learned their skin
from other and older members Of the
family long engaged in the work.
Good light is one Of the essential
needs Of the pearl-strlnger, especially
when she Is employed in making or
repairing pearl ornaments. All beads
must be arranged according to size,
and then. separately, and most care
fully, sewn into place on their dainty
framework. For example, If the de-
sign be that Of flower or leaf, the
skill lies in graduating from the larg-
est pearl to the small one that touches
the extreme point.
Only the finest silk is employed for
stringing the finest pearls. Great
beads, round and shiny, Enthusiastically
artificial, and with no more luster
than white marbles, may be allowed to
hang together on catgut. but "orients"
must be threaded, "pearl kissing pearl"
on silken strands worthy of their
shape and "skin."
The art of the stringer lies In the
apparently simple manner of tying the
knot that attaches the snap. Some
times also she has to make knot be-
tween bead and bead, an operation
that adds to the length of the necklace,
but detracts from the beauty Of the
line of pearls. The knack Of making
this tiny knot will perhaps be &C.
quired by the novice only after years
practice; and the perfect hang Of the
beads. neither too loose nor too tight,
depends upon this little knot.
There is no needle fine enough for
threading small seed pearls; so the
stringer makes her own from a bit Of
wire as thin as hair. She arranges
her pearls, If they are of different
sizes. on grooved board covered with
bi]liard-table cloth. any other material,
such as green baize, being much too
coarse.
The work Of the pearl-stringer is so
little known that 1t is doubtful wheth-
er one in thousand women who stop
to admire the pearls displayed in the
jewelers. case ever give a thought to
the patient fingers that have threaded
the beautiful pearls and tied the al
most invisible, cunning knots that link
them to their diamond clasps.
The pearl is the only gem, it is
claimed. needing not the hand of man
to bring it to perfection. and history
affords ample evidence Of the intense
fascination 1t has always exercised
upon the people of every land. The
pearl is the oldest object of personal
adornment.
Indian mythology often speaks of
the pearl, attributing its discovery to
the god Vishnu, who is said to have
caused it to be drawn from the ocean
for his daughter Pandaja. The rec
ords of the Babylonians. Egyptians,
Persians and Romans also contain
many references to the gem. The
! wife Of Emperor Caligula, for an or
binary betrothal feast, is said to have
decked herself with pearls to the value
Of 100000; and Julius Caesar pre-
scented Servilla. the mother OF Isrutus,
with specimen valued ut $25O,O00.
