ORNATE c0IFFURE OF GEIsHA
Headdress of Japanese Dancing Girl

Probably the Japanese geisha has
erected her hair into the most elabo-
rate coiffure that fashion has accepted
for one of her modes in any country
in the world. Except that it is more
ornate than that Of the average woman
of Japan, the geisha headGTess, in gen.
eral structure and line, in its use Of
silver and gold papers, Of artificial
flowers and jade or coral hairpihs, ex-
presses the conventional Japanese idea
of what woman's crowning glory
should be like, says Asia. She requires
professional "kamigama" to do. It for
her. Naturally she does not feel that
she can afford to pay 10 or 20 cents
every morning for this adornment Of
the outside Of her head; so IT night

delicate yellow of the face.

Nevada Natural Wonder.

"The Devils Postpile" is located in
the Sierra Nevada mountains on the
middle fork of the San Joaquin river.
The pile" is mile long, half as
wide, and 400 feet high. The odd
formation whence its appellation is
derived is not everywhere in evidence,
cropping out only in certain places.
The most striking columns constitute
more than 1000 feet Of its western
face. They rise over 100: feet above
the talu$-a vast heap of broken
"posts" accumulated through the proc
ess Of weathering. How far down.
ward they extend is matter, Of con-
lecture. The columns in this amaz-
ing bluff are arranged in rows as
regularly as the pipes Of an organ.
Almost perfect prisms, they are fitted
together like cells in a honeycomb,
and really loo,z as if carved by hu-
man hands. These columns range
from II inches to more than 8 feet
IL diameter. Most Of them are
psntagonal, whereas elsewhere the
general shape is hexagonal.

KILLED ENEMIES By PROXY
Many Races of Savages Had Implicit
Faith ir Their Power to Bring
About Death.

sympathetic magic used as means
of wreaking vengeance upon an absent
enemy was believed in and practiced
by savages in widely separated parts
Of the world.
The principle on which the theory
was based was that like produces like.
or that by hurting an image of man
you would thereby hurt him. The
Ojibway Indian desiring to harm an
enemy made Il little wooden image
of him and ran a needle through
its head or heart Or he shot an
arrow into it. firmly convinced that
his foe would at the same instant
be seized with a sharp pain in a
corresponding part of his body.
A Malay charm consisted in max
ing wax image Of the person marked
for destruction, in which We're some of

over a lamp every night for seven
nights with the following words: at

So that I sc0rch." After the seventh
time the figure was burned and the
victim was then thought to have died.

misconceptions about other birds.
However, the Department of ASricui.

upon the nectar Of flowers. though
nectar Corms an important part of its
diet. The bird will hover in front
IF cobweb, picking off insects and
perhaps the spiders entangled in the
net. They will capture food on the
wing, after the manner of the fly
catchers. Stomach examinations
show that a considerable part Of
the food of the bird consists of in
sects. with sometimes very little of
vegetable matter. The rubythroat is
the only humming bird which inIabits
the eastern part Of the United States,
and it is more or less common every
where in that region. 1t eats con-
eentrated sweets. but its favorite
animal food is spiders. Gnats or small
flies are eaten.

the severe hail storm in the lower

instructed in connection with this
work to employ only teams for this
work of the stricken section and Ia
Dor from among the stricken fami-
lies. This road was graded several
years ago but has never been top
soiled.
Secretary J. R. Bryson stated that
the boundary lines of the county will
be carefully observed and that only
people in Greenville county will be
provided for out CT the appreciation.
He also added that so far as he
knows that Greenville county's del
egation is the first of the five strick-
en- counties to take any definite &C
ton towards relief of the storm
swept population.

ton; can only come when the house
convenes. Will try again tomor-

C meetings in the Wesleyan Metho-

is being filed each night to hear the
Gospel as. it is being preached by
d.. r. G. Lee of Chester, S. c., and
sung by Mr.. D. P. Montgomery of
Williamson, S. G. Both present the
Gospel as the power of God unto
salvation and already many have
learned to know it as such.
The Layman's Brotherhood of
Whitmire is backing the committee
in charge and they are asking Chris
ton women to assist them in reach
ing every person in the town. We
want to be able to say when Dr..
Lee leaves that every person in our
town has had an invitation to hear
and accept the Gospel.

Referring to your editorial Of
August 3, on Mr.. Taft's quotation
from Lincoln, we wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that not Lincoln, but
Rochcfoucauld, was the author of the
pi:3sage under discussion. The late
Dr. C. c. Brown of Sumter wrote re-
garding it: "The expression was on
the printed page and was current in
the book world, from which Mr.. Lin
coin got it, two hundred years be-
fore Mr.. Lincoln was born. The
Baron La Rochefoucauld, born in
1915, wrote volume of maxims,
and among them is this one: con

jours; ma:s pas toutes les peuples

ga palpa5le hit" one exclaims at
the first glance. But second look
will, we think, reveal that there is
not overmuch in the charge that Lin
coin borrowed from La Rochefou-
cauld.
In the first place, it is exceeding
" doubtful if Lincoln knew any Of
the Frenchman's writing, except by
2 general maxim or so. He may, of
course, have run across this one in
directly, and, like Moliere, promptly
appropriated CHS own wherever he
found il"
Again, the thought and phrasing-
in Englsh-is so characteristic of
Lincoln that, if he had not found it
he would have invented it.
Still further, Lincoln's English
form IS far better, neater, stronger
than the Frenchman's. This is due,
perhaps, to the greater feXibility Of
the English words and phrasing, and
to the distinct "cast" into which the
thought is nodded by Lincoln's re-
markabIe mind
But, after all, the thing said be-
longs, as Emerson and Lowell
among others-have assured US, to
