SomnIi Fond of Song

Musical instruments-even the TOM
tom, so dear to the heart of most AZ
rican natlyes-are unknown to the
Somali, who. none the less, take great
pleasure in singing and dancing.
Their songs are not by any means cas-
ual chants but have special signih-
canoe. and are applicable TO certain
occasions. For example. there is a
"Song of Thanksgiving for the finding
of water, after a long Journey" and
songs for the loading and unloading
Of caravans, but most of their music
is OF a religious nature; and there Is
"Song of Burial sung when the

Dutch Unfortunate in
Colonization Ventures

The celebration on the continent
concentrating the tercentenary Of
the foundation Of New York recalls the
fact that the great American city was
originally n Dutch settlement. II was
not until 1904 that 1t was captured by
the British, and the original name of
New Amsterdam was changed to New
York.
Fate, indeed. has been unkind to the
Dutch as colonizers. Not only did they
lose their extensive settlements In
New York state and Pennsylvania, but
their colony at the Cape of Good Hope,
founded In 1861, also passed into Brit
lsh hands, says London Answers.
Other instances of lost colonies
could be given, especially If those
which changed hands during or after
the great war were included. But

Schools in Early Days

The first schools were started in the
early history of mankind Schools
were first held out of doors and the
teaching was conducted orally, similar
to the Hindu Brahman schools. Among
the Hebrews the laws were expounded
by oral teaching from the pOrches OF
the temples. The amount of instruc-
tlon greatly increased from the mere
oral teaching of the law until 1t in
vOlved letters and arithmetic. Among
the Spartans the education was almost
entirely along new lines. Elementary
schools became common after the
Christian era and In CT A. d. they
were made obligatory. In Athens
nearly all Of the schools were private,
teaching music and literature, read
ing, writing, arithmetic, geography and
drawing. In early Rome the schools
taught reading and writing and some
times arithmetic.

Groun to Vast Amount

Stephen Girard was a rich banker
of Philadelphia. When he died 93
years ago he provided that his entire
fortune, S5,2O0,0O0, should be used to
care for and TO educate orphan or
half-orphan boys.
He limited the number of boys TO
1000. And he forbade the use of any
part of the income from his bequest
for any other purpose than bringing
up those boys.
The trustees OF the estate have put
up splendid buildings for the boys They
have faculty so large that there is
one teacher to every three and one-half
students Yet the surplus has been
reinvested until now the original So
100000 is said TO have grown to $780,
100000 or more.

ARE YOU RUN DOWN?
Awaken to the Danger and Aid the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs you
down to the verge of collapse before
you know the cause. When you seem
unable to pin your mind to any task,
your back aches and you cannot do
an ordinary days work, it is time to
ask yourself this question: Are my
kidneys working right?" The
answer may be easily found.
Weak kidneys slacken their filter
ing work and the uric acid circulates
with the blood, in many cases, at
lacking brain, nerves, muscles and
vital organs. Don't wait for the
serious trouble-begin using Doan's
Pills when you feel the first back
ache or first notice urinary dis
orders. This remedy has given new
life and strength to thousands.
Proof of merit in a Hurley citizens

SCENES OF HORROR
IN CITY OF TOKYO
Thousands in Supposed
Safety Burned to Death.

AS normal conditions are slowly re-
stored in Tokyo, dramatic stories are
being told of incidents during the fire
which destroyed the city Immediately
following the earthquake Of September
l last. Among these are many stories
of the actions of japanese Christians
which are received by the Episcopal
church In connection with the fund
which is being raised to rebuild Chris
tian churches which were destroyed
in the disaster. One tells of a Chris
tan convert, G. Hlguchi, By name.
Higuchi, incidentally, means literally
mouth of fire" He was q member
Of the Church of True Light, In the
Stun section of Tokyo, and among the
$4,000 who took refuge In the military
stores enclosure, $4,000 Of whom were
burned to death.
The refugees sought safety in the
military stores on the advice of a
japanese police Official who. after
viewing the scene of horror there on
the following day, killed himself
through remorse over having recon-
mended the place as refuge from
the flames At the time there was no
thought that the fire would spread to
this great open space of IS acres, so
the people, carrying with them their
household goods and fleeing from the
destroyed section, took possession of
the inclosure, which within an hour
was damned with a solid mass of peo
pie. Rev Y. Sugiura. a Christian min
lister living in the nelghborhood, tells
this story Says he:
For a long time it was very calm
and comfortable and was no sign of
any such calamity as was impending
All the people there had the idea that
the danger would pass away when the
houses in the immediate neighborhood
were burned down. Then suddenly
without warning there was a terrific
noise, and the air was filed with OBJ
jects whirIed up by the fearful force
of blast of wind Instantly every
thing combustlble In the whole mass
seemed to be swept into the air In
a huge spiral column and then hurled
to the ground upon the poor victims
below.
zone t0y luckier than the rest, was
carried two miles and dropped I'M
harmed into the water Of the canal.
The place was now a veritable hell,
where the people were being burned
alive In the very place to which they
had fled for refuge, and the goods
they had carried there for safety were
converted into fuel to make their
death more terrible Cries for moth
ers, cries for husbands-a universal
shrek arose from the mass and con
tinued for about ten minutes, and then
silence fell and there was no sound
but the cracking of the flames.
"Then occurred a wonderful thing,
A native Christian stood up and
preached a sermon to those who were
facing death Those who heard the
sermon say 1t was short. but above
the roaring of the flames they heard
distinctly the closing words:
lord Jesus. GOMEZ he cried and
fell into the flames"
Mr.. Higuchi's mother, who was lying
at his feet was rescued though pitiful-
ly burned, and told the story to Mr..
Sugiura.
