Important japanese Feast

The Feast of the Banners" as cele-
brated in Japan is a holiday in honor
of male children, celebrated on the
fifth day of the fifth month, which is
now May 5. On every house that can
boast of a male child is affixed a pole
of bamboo, and floating therefrom are
one or more gaudy fish made of paper
The exact number is determined by
the number of boys in the household.
The wind, blowing into the mouths of
the fish, initiates them and makes
them writhe and wriggle with a curl
ously lifelike motion. The fish are
supposed to be carp, which in Japan
are recognized symbols of health and
long life. Other STATS support pen
nants of every color while banners
blazoned with heraldic devices float in
the wind. Boys of all ages appear In
the street in gala attire, some having
little saberS in their belts, some bear
ing on their shoulders huge swords of
wood, gayly painted and decorated,
and others carrying miniature banners

Grave Purpose Behind
Writing of Fiction

Universal nature, too strong for the
petty fiber of the bard, sits on his neck
and writes through his hand; so that
when he seems to vent mere caprice
and wild romance the issue is an exact
allegory. Hence Plato said that poets
utter great and wise thin IS which
they do not themselves understand"
All the fictions of the Middle ages ex-
plain themselves as a masked or frolic
expression of that which in grave
earnest the mind Of that period toiled
to achieve. Magic, and all that Is
ascribed to it, is deep presentment
of the powers of science. The shoes
of swiftness, the sword of sharpness,
the power of subduing the elements,
of using the secret virtues of min
erals, of understanding the voices OF
birds, are the obscure groupings of the
mind in a right direction. The pre-
ternatural prowess of the hero, the
gift of perpetual youth and the like
are but the endeavor of the human
spirit "to bend the shows OF things
to the desires of the mind Ralph
Waldo Emerson in Essay on His
tory"

Colors Haze Varying
Effect on Surfaces

Considering the large influence col
ors exert upon us and the fact that
we cannot afford to redecorate every
few days if we do not care for color
scene, certain facts about colorS
should be we'll considered before any
paint is purchased. On this subject
an authority has said:
"Color materially affects the APP
pearance OF. surfaces, according to the
speed at which the light rays travel
reflective ability, that is. Red is an
aggressive color irritating to some.
Blue, receding color, is soothing. A
dull red does not bring surface, APP
parently, as near the eye as a bril-
liant red. Green is considered a static
color while gray, as well as green,
unless influenced either by yellow or
blue, retains the apparent position.
Yellow appears to enlarge the size of
an object or surface without changing
it's position. For this reason orange
can make a surface appear smaller,
depending upon the amount of red 1t
contains, or larger if the yellow pre-
dominates. Violet can be either ag
gresslve or receding, depending upon
the amount of red or blue it contains
Light violet, like gray, is static unless
it leans more to the red"

Famous Delhi Gardens
Laid Out BY Monarch

The Kudsia Bagh or the Kudsia gar
dens in Delhi, India, where tennis
tournaments are held, were originally
laid out in 174S by Qucki Bengam, the
mother of Ahmes Shah, emperor of
Delhi
They have been well looked after,
and although they cannot compare
with the more ambitious pleasure
grounds of the earlier Mughals, are
we'll worth a visit. No wall adorned
with serrated battlements encircleS
the grounds, nor is there any impos-
ing entrance gateway which is a great
feature of the larger pleasances.
In the center of the gardens, how
ever, there is an old gateway Now
but picturesque ruin, it was, a
writer in the Montreal Family Herald
understands, the gateway to Qudsi
Begam's palace, of which nothing now
remains. To the southeast of this
gateway there is another picturesque
ruin-an old mosque which, though at
tached to the palace, was not in
Guided in it, In many ways the mosque
is the more interesting of the two
structures which give the gardens an
air of bygOne times.

produced in other parts Of the world

est from other parts of the world. In

biologists put 1t, and nowhere else on
this hemisphere have they been so
found. The Arkansas mines are be-
ing worked only enough to pay over
head, as the management has decided
that the per load recovery of dia-
monds is not sufficient to justify the
operation of the mines at this time.

The bureau Of American ethnology
says that the dolls of the Hopi In
dams are never made of clay, but are
manufactured from the subterranean
branch Of the cottonwood tree. They
are not necessarily rain gods, although
the need of rain is so omnipresent and
these Images are copies of certain
idols which appear on rain affairs, that
they are sometimes called rain gods.
They are, however, not gods, but dolls,
and are made by the parents and
given to the children as playthings.
The dolls of the Apache, as well as
certain other tribes, are often made Of
adobe, and are probably used in much
the same way as the Hopi dolls.

There are, however, no definite rec

Franciscan friar who went alone to
China In 1895 shortly after the return
of the Polo family to Europe, and he
remained In China for many years,
when his effort was reinforced by the

Odd Species of Fish
That Possess Lungs

We are so accustomed to think Of
fish breathing by means of gills that
1t is difficult to imagine species
which have lungs and can breathe
air like the higher land animals. These
are the DipnOl (meaning double
breathers). At one time numerous,
they are now almost extinct. There
are three species of them. These are
found in different parts of the world
one group in Queensland, another in
Africa, and the third in South Amer
lea.
They inhabit the tropical rivers,
which, though full in the wet season,
are parched up when the heat comes.
During the dry season they bury them
selves In the mud of the river bed
and start to breathe air, which they
are able to do by means of swim
bladder similar in structure to our
own lungs, though naturally not so
highly developed.
Their internal structure is certain
Iy Illuminating. AS well as in their
lung or swim-bladder, they show re-
semblances to amphibians and land
vertebrates In the skull, heart, and
blood vessels. In spite of these re-
semblances, however, it is not certain
that they are really missing link
between fish and amphibians. 1t is
thought that the latter have been
evolved through a different line, even
the lungs Of land vertebrates being
of supposedly different origin to the
lung of the DiDnOi.

"AH Fools Day" Legend

There is a tradition among Jews
that the custom of making fools on
the first Of April arose from the fact
that Noah sent out the dove on the
first day of the month corresponding
to our April, before the water had
abated. To perpetuate the memory of
the deliverance of Noah and his fam
lily, it was customary on this anniyer-
sary to punish persons who had for
gotten the remarkable circumstances
connected with the date, by sending
them on some foolish errand, similar
to that on which the patriarch sent the
luckless bird from the windows Of the
ark.
