»<>■-
More than 2Jksi year» ago th* r.
iprung into existence ili Japan an or-
ier of knight» who were known as th»’
lamurul. To them was ImpaiQfil all
die leurnlug, the polite breeding ami
tlie forms of superiority that murk tbe
yeutleman They were »killed In arms
and venwd In the arts of war, for they
were tlie enqieror’» fighting men, ami
none but they were allowed to beur
arms.
As there could not always be war on
hand, and as it was considered be­
neath the dignity of the samurai to go
luto any ordinary callings, tt came
about naturally tiiat these little knights
found much idle time ou their bauds.
Being men of war, they turued their
attention to athletic feats.
One among th« samunil conceived
the Idea of learning by practice tbe
l<s-atton of every sensitive nerve and
muscle lu the b»s!y. After that be dls-
covered all the Joints of the bouea that
could tie sein’d lu such a way as te
give momentary power over tbe mus
cles of au adversary. He practiced
with his fellow samuaul. and thus by
degree» was develo[>ed tbe most -won­
derful system uf athletics known tn
the World.
The Japanese call this work Jiu-Jitsu.
The deft pressures applied In the prac­
tice of Jiu-Jitsu produce only momen­
tary pain, but do not really Injure tbe
muscles or nerves. In all other things
the Japaix’se are the most polite peo­
ple In the world. So tt follows that
even in their fighting they have de-
velopcd a humane yet effective method
of self defense. They do not strike ont
with tho clinched fist and seek to
bruise, ns do the Anglo-Rnxons in their
boxing contests.
A knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu enables on»
almost Instantly to convince bls oppo­
nent that It Is useless to tight. There
are now schools of jlu-Jitsvi everywhere
In Japan. Every soldier, sailor and
policeman Is obliged to perfect himself
In the system. A Japanese policeman,
possessed of the art, has been known
single handed to reduce to submission
and to take to tbe police station four
sturdy sailors of a foreign Asiatic
squadron.—St. Nicholas.

tral America and the West Indies tlie

Semlctvlllaed belle of these lands knows
how to get nearly the whole of her cos­
tume from the jungle. Rhe manufac­

gathers from nature. Though she may

This lace bark Is the film which covers
the heart of the lace bark tree. The
natives carefully remove It and souk
it in ruuulng water tor three or fout
days in order to get off the gum and
unnecessary fiber. After that It is
bleached on the sands by the river and

When It has become a crouuiy White

fine lacy appearance Mid runs Into

Variety of Hand lia^M.
Where women are extravagant these
days Is in the matter of bags There
Is almost no end to the variety of hand
bags, chatelaines and puraea, and near­
ly all of them are expensive.
Tlie dark green and dark blue leuthei
chatelaines wciu to lead In popularity.
A favorite among these bags Is named
after a play which has been enjoying a
long run In New York.
It has the leather plaited into the
leather covered top piece, leaving quite
a generous fullu<*ss to cram things into.
Like most chatelaines, this bag Is fit­
ted with purse, cardcase, address book
und small mirror.
Pocketbooks nearly all have chains
and are the mere conveniently carried,

dangles a handsome purse at her wrist.
Flowers For Hats.
Among the newer huts thut have been
brought out by the New York milliners
are the silk beavers, whose smooth, sat­
iny surface, closely resembling that of
a man's tine dress bat, presents a strong
contrast to the rough felt and nap wool
beavers, the felt cloths and plushes,
which were seen earlier.
Flowers are In high fuvor for the
garniture of hats. Hats covered with
velvet rose leaves In shaded convention
allzed colors are Been, and a greatly
magnified rose Is laid flat to form the
top of a hat. Tho dahlia and petunia
reds, the violet shades and lovely
browns and greens seem to lend. Vio­
let as a color Is extremely popular, and
violets as garniture have again a prom
lnent place In the affections of the fash­
ionable woman.—New York Tribune.

Herbert Spencer was no linguist.
Because of eye strain which affected
Ids health he did not even know Ger­
man. Ills pamphlet on education was,
however, translated Into fifteen lan­
guages, including Japanese.
Spencer was a great phrase maker,
it was he who popularized the word
"evolution” and explained one of tlie
phases of the Darwinian doctrine ns
“the survival of the fittest.” He also
Introduced Comte'» coined word “so
ciology.”
He was n bachelor and long lived In
boarding houses. Finally he set up
an establishment of bls own, where he
could have about him people of Ids
own clttoslng. A favorite relaxation
in his later years was to sit tn the
open doorway of Ids house and listen
to a piano played In a distant apart­
ment. He had the player trained. A
thump of his stick was the signal for
her to stop, another thump for the mu­
sic to proceed where it broke off.
Spencer was fond of playing billiards.
Once at Brighton he Invited a smart
youth to a game. The philosopher had
four strokes and scored two while the
youth ran out. Mr. Spencer put away
his cue with deliberation and sal»! to
ids opponent: "A moderate degree of
expertness in n game of skill is agri«-
able and even creditable. Such dexter­
ity as you sliow Is evidence of a mis­
spent youth. Good afternoon.”

Into a bluish melancholy gray late of

Wrath and a Soft Answer.
To illustrate tlie modern view of sap
circulation, which is not thoroughly un­
derstood, It is necessary to explain
that the cidef food of the plants, con­
sisting of Inorganic salts dissolved In
water, is absorlM*d from the soil by the
roots. The root consists of a hollow
tube or cylinder lined with several
cells, the outer layer of which contains
certain lialrlllte processes.
Tin» water In the soil, containing the
saJl« hi solution, is absorbed by these
root hairs nnd passes by filtration Into
the rolls and capillary vessels. The
activity of those root hairs and the
concentration of fluid in the adjacent
rolls create what 1» calleil "root pres­
sure,” and this forces the sap Into the
general vascular system of the plant
and up to its furthest extremities, or
lea ves.
This "root pressure" Is further sup­
plemented by “transpiration,” or loss of
vaisir from the leaves under tlie Influ-
etice of heat nnd light Plants may to
said to breathe or respire by their
leaves, and this abstraction of water
by trnn«pfmtl<i> creates a fresh do-
mand for tbe vital fluid supplh’d by tbe
roots. In this way the circulation, or
“rising of tho sap” from root to leaves.
Is maintained Pearson's.
