Thos« He is a bundle of contradictions, and, measured by American standards, he is a bedlamite, straight from topsy turvy land. He may be a Chesterfield and a cheerful liar one minute and a red Indian the next—a sycophant and a welsher today and a Napoleon tomor­ row. We westerners have been taught to regard the little Jap as an amusing and precocious child given to obstruct- j Ing sidewalk traffic with bls polite con­ tests In kowtowing, to suspending from the branches of the cherry tree his dainty poems addressed to his friends and to dawdling for hours over the cer­ emonial tea, and when we see him un- 1 der the tent flap, bowing and laughing and playing checkers, he seems a vel-[ vet pawed kitten In khaki. And yet you and I have seen him In battle a ramping, raging tiger, greedy of Slav bayonets and afterward dragging him­ self to the field hospital, shot to rags, unwhimpering, a mere bull hide wrap­ ped around a will. We never know a character until we have seen It put to the test under I stress—least of all the combination of sphinx and Janus known as the Jap­ anese.

There Is no country where the mat­ ter of landing from American passen­ ger ships is so easy and so expeditious­ ly done as England, says the Travel Magazine. Of course it Is a free trade I country, the freest in the whole world. I There are duties levied on tobacco and spirits, but travelers are allowed a half pound of tobacco In any shape and a half pint of spirits, which also In eludes perfume. Sugar Is dutiable, whether In grain, sweets or in Jam, but a small quantity Is freely passed. Iu all cases, however, these goods must be the actual property of the passenger and lie for his use and control. Cocoa, coffee and tea are also dutiable, as are reprints of English books. Outside of these things, as named, passengers can bring in anything — motors, cycles, horses, but not dogs, which animals a not to exceed six months’ quarantine awaits. Keep dogs on the American side. The customs officials are life ap­ pointees—under the civil service—and will be found most obliging and help­ ful. In fact, they are a model to the customs world. Tell the truth at all times to these officials and you will be all right. They are marvelously keen on spotting the supposedly smart liar. Lying doesn’t pay “annyhow, Hlnnes- sy!" at home or abroad. Most TESTATORS’ LAST WISHES. 8tr«ng* Request* Regarding the Ar­ rangement of Funeral*. OLD VIOLINS. Reasons Why Ancient Fiddle* Are Bet­ ter Than New. Fabulous prices are sometimes paid for old violins, and many an enthusi­ astic musician would pffrt with his last dollar to possess one of the mas­ terpieces of Stradlvarlus or Guarneri us or another of the famous makers of a century or two ago. The questioned superiority of these old and often battered Instruments has been variously ascribed to the peculiar quality of the varnish used In their construction, to the elasticity of the wood employed and to the ripcuing and improving effects of age and long use. Of late years, however, much cre­ dence has been given the suggestion of an eminent authority that the real cause of the superiority of the old In­ struments Is due to a peculiar warp­ ing of the wood to a higher arch, a buckling caused by the position of the “F” holes and sound post. It might at first thought be suppos ed that the same effect could be pro­ duced by giving an equal arching to a new Instrument, but the effect. If at tslned. Is not permanent, because with age the arching increases until too great a degree of rigidity is the re- suit.—Philadelphia Record.

HEADLIGHT, AUGUST 15, Sir James Colquhoun’s desire to be burled In full evening dress costume recalls, says the London Standard, cu­ rious last wishes of other testators. George Herring directed that his re­ mains should lie beneath a sundial at the Haven of Rest, Maidenhead Queen Victoria planned the entire programme for her funeral, even choosing the mu­ sic to be played, the anthems to be sung. A couple of months ago a young lady who died at Reigate on the eve of her wedding was burled In her bridal dress, the friends who were to have been her bridesmaids attending the funeral In the gowns which they should have worn at the wedding and carrying In place of wreaths the wedding bou­ quets. More singular was the funeral of Major General Algernon Stewart nt Hascombe, Surrey. The coffin was drawn to the grave by the dead man’s horse. The mourners walked, and the bearers wore old fashioned smocks, each with Its collar adorned with a text. The same men appeared In their mourning garments at the church serv Ice on the following Sunday. Disqualified.

The gentle Kaffir when he does be­ come Christianized bas his own ideas of the best method of raising funds tor the support of the “cause.” From the subjoined description of a native meeting sent home by a missionary it would appear that native generosity, although of a rough and tumble char­ acter, is distinctly productive of ways and means: “Recently I attended a native tea meeting, at which more than £12 was raised by this very poor congregation. Their way of doing it was characterise tic and amusing. They paid 2 shillings to sit down to tea. Then some one would pay 3 shillings for such and such a roan to be required to get up again and leave the table The man thus assailed would pay 3s. fid. for leave to sit down again. There was a special table at which six could sit, paying an extra shilling each for the privilege. They had just got seated when a man paid 7 shillings to clear them out. and they paid anotheV,8 shil lings to sit on. and so it went on. They arrange all this themselves, and this Is their way of giving to the cause. One iran had a tin of sirup. He said he would pay 2 shillings to pour It over another man’s head who had got him self up well In a large collar, etc.; this man paid 3 shillings to be let off, the first man 4 shillings again to do It. the other 5 shillings to escape, the first fi shillings to do it—and did It. and, oh. the laughter and the mess!” Covetousness «well« the principal to no purpose and lessens the nse to all pnrpoees —Taylor.

Coming and Going. Office opposite Post Office. £>cnt»chcr ^bvohat, A codfish carved in wood hangs on the white mahogany wall of the Massa­ chusetts hall of representatives In the statehouse in Boston. Between two classic pillars it occupies a place of honor, directly opposite the desk of the presiding officer. This wooden fish Is the renowned original sacred codfish of the Old Colony, and It has assisted at the deliberations of the lawmakers of Massachusetts for more than a cen­ tury and a half, gathering sanctity year by year. It is a relic of the old build­ ing which preceded the present state­ house, and great Is the dignity of this souvenir of colonial art aud Industry. The following account of its origin Is given in a Boston paper: “Captain Johu Welch of Boston was the creator and carver of the celebrat­ ed fish. He was a wood carver of re­ nown for his time and In 1747 estab­ lished Ills business In Dock square. He belonged to the Ancient and Honornble Artillery company and afterward be­ came Its captain. He was called upon to contribute to the decoration of the colonial assembly hall, and as nt that period codfish was the colony’s main article of export Captain Welch con­ ceived the Idea of Immortalizing the king fish of the Massachusetts waters When completed the carving was fin- Ished off and colored so as to be a fac simile of life and was hung on the wall of the assembly hall."

Th« Kaffirs Mix In a Lot of Fun With Thair Generosity. Many quotations came from the works of Thales, the Greek philosopher and one of the seven wise men. It was he who said. “Know thyself.” “Few words are a sign of prudent Judgment," “Search after wisdom and choose what Is most worthy," "There Is nothing more beautiful thau the world." "Time is the wisest thing, for It Invents and discorers all things.” He also said that It was the hardest thing In the world to know oneself and the easiest to admonish another. In his youth Thales was urged to marry, but he said, "It is too soon.” and later In life upon being urged again he said. “It Is too late.” 1907 Centrally boeatad ▼ Did You Ever Try try HARRIS’S NEW FEE® LIVERY BARN.
