He was going over the details of the quay-side and the warehouses and the barges with their brown sails and the men carrying piles of bricks. They ‘‘helped him through the day.” It Is a tine thing to have some help of that kind. The more the better. Everywhere there is beauty, if we only keep our eyes skinned to dis cover it a Some of us find a garden where at all seasons there is something to re joice us. Some get their help from a noble building. Some like to walk every <$ay through a park and enjoy the trees in their changing aspects, different every week in the year. Others draw their daily inspiration and encouragement from art, a pic ture, a reproduction, a piece of sculp ture. Or it may be that literature provides the needed help—verse treasured in “the memory or the haunting beauty of exquisite prose.—Philadelphia Record. “INTESTINAL FLU M As if the hydra^hcadcd monster, influenza, were not terrible enough in its easily-recognizable form, hu manity must, it seems, be harassed by that obscure, baffling, demon for which medical science has offered no handier name than “intestinal flu.’’ A very distressing weakness is characteristic . of Spanish Inflpenza. It is distinctly a respiratory disease, caused by germs which take lodging in the breathing passages, hence we find sneezing, coughing^ and general irritability, along with exceptionally high temperature in most cases; rare ly have I seen cases with low temp eratures and, the disease is not dif ficult to diagnose at the first call. But this “intestinal” thing is a dif ferent proposition. TTie victim always in a run-down condition, begins with a chilly, creepy feeling of considera ble intensity, which lasts for a day or more, bebore being compelled to seek his bed; no matter what tjie treatment the bewildered physician applies, the temperature will mount to KM or 105, about the third day; there is. no cough, or other symptom referable to the lung or breathing- passages. No point of infection can be made but by physical methods. A temperature of 105 is a phenomenon that 1 had much rather not see; my hair is too grey for my age anyway. Still, the patient manages—by sheer will-power I think—to gel well. And, I don't know how he accomplishes it! \ v . My piotive in this article is, to warn my readers at this season, to take the best possible care of them selves, it being the only way I can suggest, of avoiding attacks.

Tlpe claims of venders of mineral rods and other devices said to be effective In locating precious metals and burled treasure are considered fraudulent by the geo logical survey. The dip needle or miner’s compass has been used with some success in prospecting for iron and other magnetic ores, but the suc cessful use of such an instrument re quires considerable experience in pur veying. together with the ability to make accurate mathematical observa tions and deductions. Various types of electrical prospecting devices, the seismograph and the tprslo* balance*: have aroused considerable Interest during the last few years. Thepe de vices, however, are most complicated and require the services of technical experts specially trained in their use-. They would be of no service to one not versed In the principles of geology and physics. ' ter twtit\ slices on both sides.

Mr. and Mrs, Cartoon in Japan Not Inspired by Politics In Japan, apparently, the cartoon did not have the democratic begin nings of Its occidental,,, counterpan. Here in America the cartoon was orig inally used In magazines and newspa pers as a political weapon, but the Japanese cartoon was more than eight hundred years old before the first is sue of the Yokohama Mainichi Shim- bun, first of the Japanese dailies, ap peared in 1871. The first Nipponese cartoonist was a lordly person, a Buddhist monk, Kakuyu, abbot of Toba, who was born. In 1053 A. D. He employed most of v bis eighty-seven years laughing at the follies and vanities of the 'decadent Kyoto court and at pretentious low brows everywhere. His influence over that branch of Japanese art was ns great as that of Shakespeare on the English^ drama.

Despite the rising demand for canaries and the increased breeding activity in Germany as a result of the use of bird cages in America for decorative effects, these trades have maintained their leadership over farmers, peas ants, housewives and other trades men, all of whom breed canaries as a sideline. German shoemakers and tailors carry on their work in their homes and are able to be with their birds all hours of the day.
