WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Remarkably Ingenious Are Plaything!
Provided for the Children of
the Orient.
Europe and America turn out, for
the edification of their children, many
Ingenious toys, but the Occidental
youngsters have nothing to compare
with the strange expanding water-toys
with which the children of the far east
have for centuries amused themseive*.
These are placed in small wooden
1 boxes similar to the little paint boxes
, go often seen in our own country.
They have the appearance of soiled
•shavings, broken matches and dilapi
dated toothpicks, but when thrown
Into the water the Ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably more than
mere bltt of stick. The wood of these
toys has been kiln-dried, and Imme
diately it touches the water It begins
to absorb the water and to expand
almost Indefinitely. As It increases
In size It separates and suddenly
opens, becoming a very pretty toy.
One stick will change into a flower
pot containing, it may be, a rose bush
In full bloom. Another becomes an
obese mandarin carrying an umbrel
la. Still another will take the form
of a sea serpent, very ferocious in its
tiny dimensions. Then, too, there are
toys which show as whales, tigers,
crocodiles, etc. The figures are col
ored and present a bewildering va
' riety in design and treatement. Their
' manufacture is a trade secret, kept
, Inviolate by the guild that turns them
. out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid
ed larger and even more artistic flg
: ures, consisting of historical charao
• ters —rulers, poets and soldiers —and
' dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
[ doors and windows are full of in
. mates, are also among this class. The
more ordinary kind cost a mere song,
but the finer toys are quite expensive.
: NOT EASY TO SEE ICEBERGS
i Deadly Menaces to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.
Among laymen there is genuine sur
prise that on a clear night—dark
; though it was—a great ship could plow I
i Into the heart of an Iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the nau
-1 tical mind it is entirely plausible.
| At about twenty-two knots of speed,
:he Titanic was covered nearly a stat-
Lite mile and one third every three
: minutes, and it takes time for a ship
i 300 feet in length and drawing nearly
i forty feet of water to "swing" on Its
' course line. It takes time to stop 60,-
900 tons of dead weight when moving
it that rate of speed.
In daytime, even, unless the sun is ,
shining brightly against its sides, a
berg is not the glaring sheetlike thing
ihat many seem to think it is. On a
cloudy day they show distinctly gray
! ind dark, while on a moonless, cloudy
alght they only, at the best, will show
is blackness, more pronounced, against
hat other blackened screen where
i Hurky cloud and murky waters meet.
The newest, whitest, snowiest sails
:hat ever drove a racing yacht to vie
•.ory Hhow as black as blackest night
igainst a somber midnight sky. In
>ther words, they are invisible a short
leay off, as was the berg whose jagged
and submerged extensions tore the
/ery bowels from this virgin Titan.—
"The Titanic," Arthur N. McGray, In
; Maticnal Magazine.
The Hypocrite.
Rev. George R. Lunn, the new mayor
>f Schenectady, says:"l don't preach
Give to the poor,' but 'Stop taking
'rom the poor.'"
Mr. Lunn, discussing this dictum
the other day, said to the Albany Jour
nal man:
"The miilionaire social reformer,
unless ke is a very sincere man, al
ways reminds me of the husband who j
brought home one evening a bottle of
champagne and a lobster.
" 'lt is yc-ur birthday, dear,' he said
, to his wife, 'and I purchased these
Jeiicacles as a little treat for you this !
evening with your birthday dinner.'
" 'You ar* very kind,' the woman 1
answered, 'but I thought you knew I
aever touch champagne, love, while
lobster invariably disagrees with me.'
" 'Never mind, my dear, never mind,'
the husband answered. 'That being
the case, I'll just eat the lobster my
self and drink the champagne to your
health.'"
Shepherd's Life Not 8o Bad.
W. G. Ay-re of Baker and for a num
ber of years known as the sheep king
of eastern Oregon, was at Portland re
cently on a business trip.
"The life of a sheep herder has
1 been much maligned," he said, "be
cause during the summer months a
more delightful life in the open air
could not be imagined. This Is espe
cially true In baker county, where the
streams are fall of trout and quail
are abundant. It Is far from being
a hermit's life, and the only thing
against the occupation Is Its name,
that for some unknown reason has
got into dlsrepnie.
Hard Part
Senator Penrose, at a luncheon at
the Auditorium in Chicago told th«
following story about an office-seeker.
"I hear you've got a government
job now," one man said to another.
The other answered gaily:
"That's what."
The flrßt man gave an envious sigh
and asked:
"Ts it hard work?"

When Samuel S. Colber was preach
ing In an old log schoolhouse in John
son county, Missouri, In 1852, his
congregation was quite small. Ono
Sunday all were sitting at the desks
forward near the puncheon floor.
The sermon was monotonous and the
old log seats had no backs. Observ
ing the sleepy, downcast look of the
congregation, the minister woke them
up by shouting: "Arouso, heaven Is
not under the floor!"
Have You Noticed These 7
An inventor In America has earned
the thanks of all who have been seek
ing after a really sanitary form of
kissing. In certain parts of that great
country, when young ladles goto par
ties and places where they kiss, they
are provided with a sterilized Ivory
ring, mounted on a silver handle. This
is Interposed between {he kisser and
the kissee, and the resulting sensation
is known as "pasteurized pleasure," or
"germless joy."—London Answers.

Longevity In French Villages.
A remarkable record of longevity is
to be found In some of the rural par
ishes of France. In the village of St
Thomas de la Fliche there have been
only fourteen parish priests in three
hundred years, the fourteenth being
still In possession. The parish of St.
Germain du Val, in Paris, has had only
three pastors in one hundred years, |
while that of. Oivry en Argonne has
had but five in 180 years.
