Japanese Kite Festival.

This is religious festival. The Japs
repair in their thousands to the tops
OF the highest mountains, where they
erect light bamboo structures or huts,
the roofs of which are protected with
mattingNto keep out the wind, and rain.
There the parents go to sit and eat
and talk, while their children play
about and fly multicolored kites. Some
times there are as many as thirty
thousand kites of every conceivable
shape, style, size and color flying from
a mountain less than a square mile in
area. The spectacle is extremely fas-
chatting, and the kites appear like so
many graceful birds or winged griffins.
darting hither and thither among the
clouds.

OF the Ancient Writers.

The excellence of the ancient WRIT
ers does not consist in a trick that can
be learned, but in a perfect adapta-
ton of means to ends. The secret Of
the style of the great Greek and Ro-
man authors is that it is the perfec-
ton of good sense. In the first. place,
said John Stuart Mill, they never use
a word without a meaning or a word
which adds nothing to the meaning !;
they knew what they wanted to say
and their whole purpose was to say
1t with the highest degree of exact
ness and completeness and bring 1t
home to the mind with the greatest
possible clearness and vividness. The
ancients were concise because of the
extreme pains they took with their
epithets; almost all moderns are pro-
lix because they do not. The great
ancients could express a thought so
perfectly in a few words. or sentences
that they did not need to add any
more.

Mouse-Eatinq Toad.

The voracity of the toad in devour-
Ing earthworms, beetles, earwigs, and
other creeping things, is well known,
but 1t is an extremely rare occurrence
for the animal to take living mouse
Still, circumsantial account is given
OF toad at Portsmouth, England
that followed a mouse, not quite full
grown, and suddenly drew it into its
mouth. The mouse showed the dazed
and fascinated signs that it exhibits
in the presence of snakes and larger
lizards. DIR. j. A. Boulenger has stat
ed that he offered tame toad very
small mice, and they were eaten with
avidity, and he believed that a toad
Will take any sort Of live prey that 1t
Is able to swallow.

Peculiar Habit Of Eela

The history Of the eel is very re-
markable, and in some respects
unique. During the spring and early
summer thousands Of young cells sew
erai Inches long migrate up rivers
from the sea and distribute them
selves throughout every accessible
body Of water, whatever its size or
character, frequently travelling over
land to reach these. Here they remain
concealed In the mud or beneath
stones, and feed on all kinds of ami
NAL matter, living and dead Many
cells appear never to leave the fresh
waters In which they have developed
but most of them after several years,
return to the sea, and enter compare
lively deep water where sexual matur-
ity and spawning takes place.

Genius Never Satisfied.

To get the product of genius you are
never done. Work done must be con-
stantly subjected to revision. Every
time it is done over there is oppor-
tunity for Examinations or additions.
Sometimes you will have to recast the
whole thing as your study leads you
deeper into truth. But what of that7
The work you put on 1t will be for
gotten in the joy of a more perfect
production. Every revision shows
where improvement is possible and the
very working over makes the final
result the more perfect. Young men
have seldom patience enough to stick
to thing until it's put into it's best
possible shape. But the man of genius
Is never satisfied. To him work is new
er finished so long as improvement is
possible. To him the ideal Is the end
to work for. Anything less than this is
little better than an irritation.

Have to Be Handy With AK.

Nearly all rural Tasmanian men are
fairly dexterous with the ak. In the
back blocks it is necessity of life, one
OF the settlers first Jobs being to con-
struct hut or house out of the grow
Ing timber surrounding the site. On
farms fencing posts are sure to be re-
quired, and splitting them out of tree
trunks still demands skill as well as
energy, though the older post and rail
fence, the atwood rabbit-proof fence,
and the %chopping block" log fence
still in vogue in heavily timbered dis
tricts required much more nice az
work than the post and wire fence
now generally erected.

Ancient Grandeur in the Kitchen.

In the days when the Roman empire
was at its height, if you went into the
culinary department of an elegant es-
adjustment you would find saucepans
lined with silver and pals of various
descriptions richly inlaid with ara
besques in silver, and shOvels very
handsomely and intricately carved
Egg frames, too, that would cook 20
eggs at once, and pastry molds shaped
like shells, and an infinite assortment
of gridirons, frying pans, cheese graf
ers and tart dishes. The toilet tables
of the Roman women were well sup
piled In the same lavish fashion. Ivory
combs, perfumes, cosmetics, hairpins,
even an elaborate hair net of gold,
have been recently unearthed.

Sausaoes.

Surprising as it may seem. there are
LOO different varieties of sausages in
the world today. All natienalities love
certain national dishes, and some form
of sausage seems included in the cui-
sine of every country. China makes
sausages. and very good ones, from
the eastern point of view. Germany
Is pre-eminently SAL sage-eating ma
ton. Great quantities of this Eood
are consumed by the people of Latin
countries. In Italy and Frame they
are eaten more as a relish than as n
dish. and the MONDAY meal often
commences with thin slices of cold
sausage. fianked with few olives ana
pat of fresh butter. Sausages In
France are associated with certain
fete days, and a kind of blood sau-
sage is always served at the Christ
mas eve supper. Neither is sausage
modern food, born of economy ana
the utilizing of meat scraps. The town
of Koenigsbuig, Germany. in 1913,
celebrated the national dish by max
ing bologna sausage more than GU
feet long.

Miners Quick to Heed Portants,

Owls and rats in mine mean even
more than rats aboard ship So long
as the owls fit about silently and the
rats fraternize, steal lunches and de-
stroy gloves and other unguarded ap-
parel, all is serene and nothing worse
than voluble but harmless profanity
results; but when the rats leave or an
owl boots just one tiny little boot every
man jack, in that mine does a mara
thon for the top. If nothing ensues it
confirms his belief that a cave-in
would have infallibly occurred had
they not got out just in the nick of
time. Meanwhile the operating COM
pany can do nothing more sensible
than smilingly accept the loss incident
to a temporary shutdown as one Of
the unpreventable incidents Of the min
ing game.

saIaried or worth His Salt"

SALARY" is from the Latin, sal
(sal0, being derived from the early
Roman custom of compensating her
military officers with provisions as
well as with coin. The analogy may
still be discerned in the expressions
HE Is not worth his salt"-that is,
his perquisltes. "Supercilious" from su.
percilium, the eyebrow, Is literally ele-
voting the eyebrows with disdain.
Sierra" as In the Sierra mountains,
aptly describes the serrated appearance
Of this range, the word being Spanish
for saw" A "cur," from the Latin
curtus, Is philolOgically dog, with Its
tall cut short; hence also the word
"curtail" with its amplifications And
curiously we find "saunterer" sprung
from La Sainte Terre (the Holy Land)
whitherward pilgrims were wont leis-
urely to journey.

Wood Carving Came From Eoyp+.

Wood carving was common in very
early Egyptian sculpture. Some of the
most realistic statues of the ancient
empire were carved in wood, such as
the so-called "Sheikh-el-Beled" and his
wife, and number Of others. Wood
was a convenient ground for polychro-
matte decoration; that is, treating the
carved figure with thin coating Of
plaster upon which the artist placed
his colors. This art was very popular
with Egyptian artists. In Greece wood
carving probably was the earliest
form of archaic sculpture. The later
Greeks and Romans used it compare
lively little, but among the most re-
markable works of early Christian
sculpture are the carved wooden doors
of Santa Sabina, Rome.

today nearly 100000 tons greater

tensive steamship production in Great

have been If the war had not inter-
