Not so In Japan! One hot day in a train traveling from 1 Kobe to Kyoto I witnessed an Incl- C: .? dent that showed the Japanese can fe adopt a really common-sense attitude ' to clothes, vrritesiJBaroIil Butcher in 0^' Cassel's Magazine. / It was In a third-class carriage, A jrf ": ; few seats ahead of me was a Japanese jfe, \ , passenger who was beginning to feel J** .-? the heat His silk shirt was wet and - ^clammy. Something must be done * about It! One could read his mind. * He had his remedy. He stood tip r t iand removed his shirt. Then he found . • that his undershirt was also soaked.

From his suitcase he produced f *• clean undershirt and a clean, cool jjijshirt, which he proceeded to don with Imperfect unconcern and irreproachable .inodesfy.

Take the simple matter of lifting a heavy weight above the head with one hand for example. If a person understands how to use his muscles the amount that can be raised can be almost doubled. Suppose that when the arm is hanging at the side 26 pounds Is the maximum that can be raised by 'bending the arm at the elbow. As soOn as the forearm is raised so that it is at right angles with the upper arm the weight is handled much more easily. Wlion the hand carrying the weight is further raised so that it is almost on a level with the shoulder the same muscles have an added advantage and can handle more than 40 pounds. There is an increase from a 26-pound poll to more than a 40-pound pull simply by a utilization of the knowledge of how the arm muscles and bones Stock as mechanical levers and tortus, .'-.V ?V.k • torv: : •' Education in America : Compulsory education in the United States occurred first in Massachusetts.

Salvation Army Title* It is to Elijah Cadman, a humble chimney-sweep of Coventry, to whom the credit for the military ranks and titles of the Salvation arjny must freally go, writes a contributor in Ix»n don Tit-Bits. Once known as "King of the Roughs." Cadman was convert- •ed and became an ardent Salvationist. He was given charge of a mission and began to call himself a "captain in God's army to fight the devil." To mark William Booth as his superior officer, Cadman called him "general." And because William Booth knew well the value of a dramatic appeal to the popular Mind, the titles, after some hesitation due to modesty on William Booth's own part, were accepted; \ f; ........ Court of Dusty Feet What is a Pie-powder court? It seems that as long ago as the Norman conquest, says E. S. Marten, in Harper's Magazine, and even earlier, trading was done considerably in fcngland, as also in Normandy, in fairs that were licensed and lasted a week or more. Of course there were disputes between sellers and buyers, and to settle them there were instituted courts of prompt and final decision, which were called Pied t»oudreux courts; that is, courts of the dusty feet, a name which English tongues inevitably transmuted Into pie-powder. Wasn't that a pretty turn of language? SLOCUM'S LAKK N, ^ Will a rd Darrell attended a stockholders meeting: of the Life Casualty Ins. Co., in Chicago Tuesday. . v Mrs. Harry Matthews and Mrs. H. L.

The ten men, he saW, were shooting craps, and. unless he was the victim of an auricular delusion, it was they who had been making hideous noises.

Captain Tichenor did considerable prospecting in the early days. He la said to have taken out some $60,000 worth of gold from the mine. Chinese laborers and Indians figured in the subsequent prospecting, and obliterated the fissure, white white men searched other gold fields. Then a fire swept over the country, changing the aspect of the terrain, *and the Lost China became somewhat of a legend. A new discovery of the mine has been reported by S. A. Laurence, local attorney to F. B. Tichenor. deputy United States marshal during the World war, and grandson of the old captain.
