CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA ANCIENT FESTIVAL IN JAPAN "Tanabata Mat*urf? Celebration R? tains Ita Popularity in tha Country Districts of tha Emplra. Perhaps the most Interesting of the five Important festivals of the Japan ese your, Tanahata Matsurl, 1h cele-< bra ted on July 7. In the hustling Cities of Tokyo and Osaka Its observance is somewhat out of flavor, hut to tho country districts even the word "Tana hata" bring* heavenly solace to all minds distressed. It recalls primltlvo days when forebears of the present generation saw deltloq In stars and a good spirit In every blade of grass. Sal to Man, the clever essayist of tho Japan Advertiser, says of the (lay: "Tanahata Matsurl In sometimes called the 'festival of stars.' hut Its literal and proper sjgnlticance Is 'the festival of the weaving nlrl' ? or 'wife's festival.' "In the days of the gods there was a beautiful maiden who worked day In and day out at her tanahata, or loom. She was a daughter of the heav enly god; none could surpass her In Industry and modesty. The father mar ried her to a handsome cowherd. Thenceforward the ylrl left off her work at the loom ' and devoted her whole care to her husband. The father seeing this got angry and dismissed her to the eastern bank of the river of Heaven (Milky Way). Only once a year, that Is, on the seventh evening ! of the seventh moon, Is she allowed to ; cross the .heavenly river to meet her husband. If unfortunately rain should full, the water would flow over the banks and make It Impossible for the weaving girl to cross the river. Hence, the festival of Tanabatahlme or Weav ing Princess. Tt Is a propitiation of the gods and goddesses for the sake of successful meeting of wife and hus band. "It Is a pity that the old custom of tanahata dancing was prohibited by a government ordinance issued In 1878. Up to that time young persons of both sexes were wont to enjoy open-air dancing under the starlit sky to the accompaniment of drum and singing. The officials returned from Europe saw signs of crass barbarism In this sort of thing, and Interdicted It." Another "Last War." An interesting Illustration of the fact that this present war is not'the first one to be regarded as possibly the last, and that it is not the first time that the possibility of perpot ual peace has been considered, is fur nished in the conclusion of an extreme ly rare book, a copy of which is in the Bodleian library. Sir R. Mori8yne, in his "An Exhor tation to styrre up all Englyshmen to the Defense of their Country," con cludes with the words: "Let us, let us therefore worke lustely nowe, we shall play for euer hereaffter. Let us fight this one fieldb with Englysshe hands and Enplysshe heartes, perpetuoll quit nes, rest, peace, vlctorle, honour, welthe, nil is owers." The book is a black-letter, small octave volume, and was prints in IF>89. It contains interesting refer ences to defensive works made around the coast by Ilenry VIII. ? Out look. Rifle Range Industry Brisk. The rifle range industry has taken on u wonderful impetus all over the city of New York. Not only the men in uniform, but citizens of all ages and even women are priming their weather eye for emergency service against the kaiser. The little street ranges, with their equipment of sta tionary clay pipes, moving clay ducks and silver balls balanced on water spouts, have mushroomed their way Into all the thoroughfares in which people promenade in the evenings, and every unoccupied store and booth has been converted into a spot for the test ing of one's prowess with the rifle. Civilians are In a majority among those who nightly try their skill at these ranges, but very frequently 1 a group of mep In uniform will saunter up to have a little competition among themselves. The civilian marksmen on these occasions usually retire for the time being. Authority. "And Is Henry getting along well at the fort?" Inquired the friend of the family of Mrs. Jones, the bride. The bride had Just visited Henry at his training camp so she was well post ed on the subject. But Just a wofd of explanation. ?enry was only a.,clerk at the headquarters of the regiment "I should say so," answered the bride. "Why, all Henry has to do at the for t Is to write out orders for the troops. Then he calls an orderly and the orderly delivers the order. He has every orderly athl 8 command. I can't understand orif^lng about tbe army. .Henry always ;puts 'Smith, command ing officer,' at the end of each letter. Do yon suppose that Henry enlisted under the name of Smith instead of Jones?" Benefits of Conservation. Conservation Is bringing wild ani mal and plant life into a kind of seml cultlvatlon. In its lead In efforts to preserve vanishing life forms the Unit ed States IS not only reserving many areas of protection for birds and other j animals, but Is seeking to better these J wild homes.

These birds are j ; useful as part of the human food sup ' ply, nrw* as many as 00 species of ! plants are described that may serve j for their own living ' * BRITISH ARMY ONCE IN BERLIN Several Heginrcnts of Advopturous No bles Went There to Help Old Frederick V. It was somewhere about I ho middle (Of July, 1U1!0, that u British army ar rived In Berlin, The account of Its do lugs may i???t he found In any history hooks, for the secret papers are safely Htored In the state archives of the I*russlan capital. At that time Berlin was a small riverside town, hut under the able rule of the "Great Kleetor" It quickly became a place of considerable Importance. The object of the British Invasion, however, was not one of con quest. It was the result of a promise which James I had made to his son-in law, Frederick V. The Kleetor Pala tine Frederick had placet! himself at the head of the Protestant I'nion of Germany. H ?* accepted the crown of Bohemia in HMD. and It was in order to help the newly elected king against the foil owcrs of the Lusatlans that the British troops were sent to Berlin. The force, which was composed of many penniless |>iii adventure loving nobles recruited from all parts of Kngland .and Scotland, was commanded by Sir Andrew Grey. A letter written by James 1 which Is to be seen preserved In the state paper office, states that "the force was some 5, (KM) strong, and constituted enc of the finest armies ever seen on the battlefield." It goes on to say that the men were clad In red and white Hanoverian uniforms, and were well armed and eftlcleut sol diers. The contingent landed on the Prussian coast early In the spring of 1020, and after n perilous march through the neighboring swamps ar rival at Tempelhof, on the outskirts of Berlin. There It was that the trouble arose. The Berllners hastily barri caded the streets and prepared to de fend the city against the British. But the British had no sinister designs on the city, and after resting lifted their camp and marched Into Bohemia, where they Joined the camp of Fred erick V. One, and only one action was fought ? which ended so disas trously that Frederick V, the "Winter King," was forctnl to abdicate, ^nd the campaign of the British, which had been the cause of so much distrust In Prussia, came to an end. ? Dundee Ad vertiser. Cheapest Dish In the World. Corn Is n great food ? a plain and simple food. But corn ? at least the solid variety ? Is not taken straight. Moreover the addition of water does not mend matters. The flavor of corn alone is too faint and elusive for our buttered and peppered taste-buds to detect Its rare aroma. One ounce of shredded codfish Is sufficient to Impart lydlstlnct flnvor to a quart of cornmeal mush. The addi tion of an ounce (two tablespoonfuls) of oil will Increase the palatabillty and add greatly to the nutritive value of the recipe. This dish may be cooked as mush and then eaten with butter, or fried, or baked. It may r>6 served alone or with a dressing. Here la a tubie of the ingredleuts 1 with their nutritive value' for enough "corned codfish" to serve four healthy appetites : Corn meal, 1 cup (6 ounces) 1.66c Codflah (1 ounce) 1.26c Oil, 2 tablespoonsful (1 ounce) 1.60c Total 4.31c ? ? Mllo Hustings In Physical Culture. An American Franc. Dr. John Bassett Moore, who gives constant attention to the problem of extending American trade with the countries of South America, thinks that a business requisite nqw lacking is the establishment of a monetary unit common to those countries and the United States. Ills Idea is that this unit should be, lit its relation to the dollar, similar to the French franc piece. If adopted, it wotald be known as the American franc, and it would be so coined as to have the value of approximately one-fifth of the American gold dollar. The coin age of such a unit was first broached by Doctor Moore several years ago, but the plan is not forgotten and may yet be adopted. Internationally Known Americans. "Forty years ago," says President Butler of Colombia university tp the Youth's Companion, "you could count &n the fingers of one hand those Americans who had an international reputation of any sort for scholarly endeavor. Today the number of such Americana is very considerable. Tho price that has been paid for that gain, calculated in terms of personality, of breadth of view, of deep human sym pathy and of genuine wisdom, has been rather high. It Is my own belief that this phenomenon is, however, purely temporary." "Will Appear In Person," The few unhappy experiments of having the hero and heroine of the pic ture appear in person, and in the same costume, would show that it is wiser to keep our favorites within their frames as works of art. I saw a film favorite who appeared grandly heroic in his picture, but who, when he stepped upon the stage to make his personal appearance, in the immensity of the proscenium arch looked like a canceled postage stamp. ?
