The stage on which this awe-inspir-
ing, thrilling and gripping spectacle
will be staged nightly, will be be-
tween $50 to GOO feet In length and
will picture the city of Tokyo laying
at the foot of the sacred mountain
Fujiyma, whose wondrous beauty will
be shown reaching skyward as the
background of the picture.
This splendid scenic setting will be
but a background for the gorgeously
costumed pageantry and pompous
ceremonials OF the festivities that
will be presented by the 500 costumed
characters. The actors will repre-
sent the members of the Royal fam
lily, officers of the Army and Navy,
priests and acolytes Of the various
agngfous orders, Jinrikisha runners,
lantern bearers, Geisha Girls, mer-
chant, civic authorities and citizens,
all dressed in that unique and colorful
garb that lends itself to the fancy of
an American audience.
The night show will be improved
by the erection of an enlarged plat
form or stage which will be placed
directly in front of the grandstand and
annex. There will be sufficient floor
space to present the most stupendous
acts In the world and also for the
proper presentation of the Ernie
Young Revue with its 80 girls.
Plans have been made whereby the
stage will be enlarged expressly for

Valuable Black Walnut

A number of native black-walnus
trees have been discovered whose nuts
possess superior cracking qualities.
By means Of scions or buds from the
original trees, these are being propa-
gated in greater numbers each year,
since the value of the nut crop Is
thereby greatly enhanced and the tim
Der is of the same high quality as that
Of other walnut trees. Stocks of these
selected trees are available In limited
numbers from the owners and make
possible the growing of valuable nut
trees about the home or in nut
orchards, says the American Forestry
association.

DOGS AND HEALTH

TT IS a general superstition all over
1 the United States that the health
of children is improved by having them
play with dogs; and in many localities
It is believed that a sick child-Or, as
many say, even grown person-can
be cured by having dog sleep in the
bed with him. A publication of the
American Folklore society has the
following instance:
"A few years ago a young man in
Holyoke, Mass. Ca common-sense per-
SOM had child i'll with dumb ague.
By advice he got pup and put it in
the child's cradle. The dog broke out
in sores and the child got we'll"
Here, again, we have that form of
sympathetic magic known as the
magic of contact-the ancient primi-
tive belief The dog alphabetically
absorbs the disease Of the patient by
being brought into contact with him
draws it out, as it were.
AS to the selection of a dog for the
curative process, the dog was one of
the three animais-the other two be-
ing the lion and the goat-sacred to
Jove, Mercury (some say Mars) and
Pan. To put a goat or lion in a
child's crib might be a trifle inconVeni-
ent, but the dog is easy. Thus in
working the cure we not only get the
benefit of sympathetic magic, but in
woke the beneficent power of the great
gods to whom the dog is sacred.

CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE
HANDS

VXTHEN person carries the hands
w in front of the body, or slightly
at the side, and moves them continual
ly, or almost always, waving them
about as though to keep them from
touching anything, or to keep any
thing from touching them, it is a sign
of a nature that is suspicious, looking
about for traps, etc. In some subjects,
to be judged by other characteristics,
this is, of course, a good sign, since
it denotes carefulness, Watchfulness,
and a desire to investigate matters
before passing judgment upon them.
We sometimes encounter the sub
ject who keeps the hands clasped In
front, with the palms together. In
very many cases 1t is a woman who
carries the hands thus. She is calm
and placid in temper. looking at life
through the philosophers spectacles.
Such a person win let the hand be
read in a quiet, unhurried manner, and
is a good subject" OF course, all of
the other types that have been de
scribed will betray their mental and
moral characteristics-to some ex-
tent, at least-by the manner in
which they submit their hands TO
reading.

PHOEBE

DHOEBE, Quaintest and most charm
ing of names, was first in use among
women of Greek birth in the Roman
empire. It is derived from Phoebus,
the sun god, or Apollo and signifies
sunny temperament, warm-hearted.
According to Greek mythology, the
original Phoebe was the daughter of
Gaea. According to tradition adopt
ed by Aeschylus, she beQueathed the
Delphic oracle to Apollo, son of her
daughter Leto. Poetic. license calls
the moon personified phoebe" "
"Phoebe our sister" the deaconess of
Cenchrea, was commended by Saint
Paul to the Romans; but she has few
namesakes except in England, where
she typifies the quaint, demure, old
fashioned type so popular with British
writer's and poets.
The Italian Febe refers only to the
moon and is rarely used as a proper
name. 1t was in reference to the noble
qualities of the huntress goddess Of
the moon that Spenser named his love-
ly BelphOebe, as he also called MS
other warlike heroine, Britomartfs, an
individual who later became identified
with Artemis, the moon GODDESS. Ar
tennis, of course, is the italian Diana,
and Diana, as the sister of Apollo, was
frequently called Phoebe, SO the re-
lationship, seemingly so Ierplexing and
interviewer, is really logical.
In England, Phoebe was favorite
name for rural maidens, and the poets
bestowed it upon the simple rustic
charmers to whom they wrote odes and

An interesting fact has been discov-
