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

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. A bulletin of the depart
I ment of agriculture gives data col
j lected on the food of wild ducks, with
f instructions for stocking waters with
j the plants most attractive to the differ- j
ent species of ducks. 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

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

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. ? Rob Wagner
in Saturday Evening Post.
Wages In Maine.
Munition factories are not the only
places where big money is earned. In
the state of Maine first-class woods
men who can cut two or more cords
of pulp wood a day ire receiving from
to $10 a day catting by the cord
for a htg paper company, which ha*
put most of Its pulp wood cutting <m
the piecework basis.
