GIRLS OF WHOM TO BEWARE
japanese Widowed Physician" Hands
Out Some Words Of Caution to
Susceptible Male Sex.

In what to Tell Our Grown-Up
Sons About Women" a pamphleteer
who calls himself The Widowed Ply
sIcian." has made a list Of the things
he disllkes In girls. He admits that he
deals with Objectionable characteris-
tics" but dlsarms the criticism that he
falls TO Indicate positive virtues by
saying that 'the nice youth needs no
qualities Of the opposite sex" THE
Widowed Physician" sums up his
ideas In a few brief warnings. as fol-
lows, the Japan Advertiser states:
Beware of the girls who manicure
their nails to the shape OF a claw. I
do not know why. but beware Of them.
Beware Of girls who prefer to dress
In purple or scarlet colors.
Beware Of girls who are heavily
scented.
Beware Of the girl who is too obvi-
ously modest and demure. She doth
protest too much.
Beware Of the girl with low, sloping
forehead and dry. straight. coarse.
jute-like hair. Any experienced mag
istrate will tell you that this type OF
woman frequently summons her hus-
band for assault and battery.
Beware OF the intensely religious
girl. She does not mean to be dan
gerous, but the fact that she Is so
devotional indicates that she pos
sesses an unbalanced temperament.
Beware OF the girl who sidles up to
you, or lays hands on you; or comes
so close TO you as to lead you readily
to lay hands on her.
Specially beware of married wom-
en-" Of reputed responsibility, whom
you have formerly had every reason
10 believe in and respect. when these
same women, by acts obvioas or guard
ed. show you that they would not OBJ
ject to your being more intimate with
them than you know In your own con-
science You ought to be.
Beware of the mothers who are anx-
ious as to the future Of their daugh-
tiers.
Beware of the girl who drinks wines
freely; she will make poor wife and
a worse mother.
Beware of the girl who dresses in a
slovenly. artistic manner.
The widowed Physician" recon-
mends two types-the tomboy and the
"pert, modern, self-sufficient learned
young woman" He adds; "She would
sharpen your wits every time"

The New santa Barbara Light.

Many persons are still fond of the
oil lamp to read by at home. In the
house 1t still gives the amount OF
brilliancy desired. But lighting engi-
neers claim superiority for the cleo
trio light in a fog.
An electric light Of 100000 candle
power is to be installed III the Santa
Barbara lighthouse. The light itself
is not 100000 candle-power. but the
light is intensified by the use Of re-
tractors ingeniously cut and placed.
In clear weather the light will not be
visible any further than the old oil
lamp, which shines 20 miles. The
light Is 17S feet above sea level and
20 miles is the horizon limit. But in
foggy weather the new light will be
visible two or three miles In place OF
one mile. the limit of the oil lamps

was sometimes 1000 or even 1900
pounds.
There was a certain number OF sixth
form, or upper division, boys who
wore fancy dresses and acted as salt
bearers. They carried large silken
bags into which they put the money
collected from visitors and passers-
by. The donors received ia return
for their contributions little pieces Of

motto for the montem of that par

Royalty itself was not free from the

at Windsor bridge, and when the queen
drove down the hill-and she never
missed a montem-the elder of the

words, "Salt, your majesty, salt"

Knights Wore Feather Ornaments.

1t is pretty certain that the custom
Of the knights and cavaliers of wear
ing feathers did not come from the
Indians. In the Fourteenth century,
In the reign Of Edward III, It is set
down that the knights wore on their
shoulders feather ornaments called
athletics" or little wings.
All the men Of that generation and
those that Immediately succeeded It
wore plumes Of ostrich feathers.
These feather ornaments were worn
In the left side, that the right or sword
arm should be free from hindrance.
Peacock feathers were considered
harbingers Of bad luck. One chroni-
,cler writes that the men wore "feath-
ers Of preposterous size"

Of Cain
Stirs HaWaiians

Honolulu, Dec. 15.-The ques-
tion "Who Was Gains Wife?"
propounded ON the feature page Of
the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, has
brought forth a flood of letters
which threaten to swamp the pap
er's editorial department and
which, in the multiplicity of opin-
ions expressed, seem likely to in
volve the entire English speaking
population Of the city in violent
religious controversy.
The opinion, variously ex-
pressed, that Cain married one Of
his own sisters appears to be the
most popular. To back this and
other opinions many authorities
are quoted, including different
versions of the Bible, Darwin,
Dana and other scientists.
The controversy has now been
running for several weeks, an av-
erage of two columns a day in the
paper being devoted to printing
letters received dealing with the
question.

Says Christians
May Be Buddhists

Honolulu, Dec. 15.-One may
be a Christian and Buddhist at
the same time, according to DR.. M.
T. Kirby, first Caucasian Buddhist
missionary to reach Hawaii.
Buddhism, DR.. Kirby states, has
no creed which must be accepted
by the convert, but seeks truth
and enlightenment in all religions
and is therefore harmonious with
all. The worship of animals or
ancestral spirits has no part in the
religion of Buddha, the true wor-
ship consisting simply Of living
the ethical life, the new mission
ary asserts. He also claims that
150 passages in the New Testa-
ment are taken from the earlier
writings Of Buddha, and that the
latter was, during the middle ages,
made saint by one Of the popes.
DR.. Kirby is a British subject
and was formerly connected with
both Protestant and Catholic
Christian churches.

be hired on railways at a cost
