t Feminine Sailors. Women sailors are employed In Denmark, Norway and Finland, says Home Notes. In Denmark several women act as State officials at sea, and frequently In the pilot service. They go out to meet Incoming ves sels, climb nimbly on board and, after showing their diploma, steer the newcomer into port. The same ctate of things obtains in Finland. Taper Clothes May Be a Boon. Will women elect to wear paper Presses elsewhere than at fancy balls? There's a question sartorial authorities have to solve. The cable Informs us that paper yarn is being made successfully into fabrics for clothing. The thread is not brittle ' and it neither shrinks nor stretches to any appreciable extent. Moisture bas practically no effect upon It, and it has extraordinary wearing proper ties. Silkworms may refuse to make cocoons, fields of cotton may be eaten up by bugs and sheep may be unable to supply covering to the world, but. what will that matter if the making of paper clothes proves practicable? New York Press. -h it Philanthropic Indian Maid. Miss Wan eta Toskatomba is a full tlood Choctaw maiden who an nounces that she would rather de vote herself to works of charity than to think of matrimony. This will doubtless be a great disappointment to the young men of her tribe, as Miss Waneta has a good education and is worth $100,000 in her own right. It is her intention to locate in Oklahoma City. Another Indian girl of more than local reputation is Kiowa Annie, who owns one of the handsomest shawls In the United States. She was ten years in mak ing this handsome garment and spent $1250. for material. It is a beautiful creation and she is said to have refused $5000 for it. L J New In the Way of Leashes. Extremely doggy women In New . Tork's fashionable set have taken up with something new In the way of leashes. A little gold clasp fast ened to the bottom of the skirt at one side. Is snapped . into the ring of the dog collar. Two women with .dogs attached were in one of the up town department stores the other day. Apparently the dogs had been . broken to the skirt leash, for they trotted along at the side without once getting under the feet of the owner and without getting tangled In the crowd. One of the women had ber dog fastened to the bottom of a long coat, and this seemed to be I ueuer man me BKiri ciasp, annouga she had to keep the coat buttoned. A good many persons who saw the women wondered what would hap pen if two of the skirt-leached dogS( took a notion to mix it up. ( Gems in Scnora's Stockings. Embassy gossip revealed that 1200 a pair was the price Senora Creel, wife of the Mexican Ambassa dor, usually paid for her stockings, -and all Washington society, accus tomed as it was to the liberality In dress of this extremely rich woman, fairly gasped. One of the Senora's ""'dear five hundred friends" whis pered that if the Ambassador's wife had one weakness it was for jeweled hosiery. Indeed, several of her finer pairs, it was said, cost $500. But It must be remembered that the hose which the multi-millionaire in petticoats wore on State occasions In the past winter could be described as of jewels and lace. The entire front was made of the finest lace, covered with pearls, rubles or emer alds and diamonds, as the costume required. These stockings are sent by reg istered eipres3 to a Jeweler in Chi huahua, where tho gems are taken out of the lace. The lace is sent to n expert cleaner, while a silk cleaner attends to the main body of lhe stocking. Talk of five able-bod-led men being required to give the King of France his chocolate in the "good old days!" The hosiery of Senora Creel almost equals the , record. Her shoes too, are as costly, though no veracious witness has re ported that tho heels are of solid gold studded with pearls. All the elect of Washington are wearing Mandarin coats in lieu of pony jackets or the conventionally shaped evening wraps. Some are of costly Oriental embroideries -and bro caded silks, others are of daintily embellished linens. Mrs. Jamea Gar field is wearing a light blue linen with Cluny lace and the jacket is wonderfully graceful. Ordinary lines at the shoulder are obliterated in the graceful effect of the high class Chinaman's outer garments, and though certain persons aver that the new style resembles more a negligee morning robe than a garment which should be worn in public, Its popu larity is insistent. Washington Cor respondent of the New York Press. Women in Germany. "Were it net for the revolution ary changes brought about by the Invention and introduction of ma chinery, fltc, we would have stayed -actically where we were at the ton- ginning of the nineteenth century," says Dr. Helens Stocker In fwrltlng of "The Women's Movement in Gor many". in, The Independent. "New kinds of work had to be created to take the place of those that were lost," shevcontlnues: "In this way the women's move ment became a necessity. Two ways only were open for a woman to whom the opportunity for work was denied, providing she was not for tunate enough to have come into the world blessed with a yearly income. These were disgrace or death. Even those who could havo no conception themselves of what mental hunger was had to realize that woman was acquainted, at all events, with physi cal hunger, and, therefore, she should be allowed to provide for her physi cal needs with the work of ber own hands. Even if there had been no women's movement, it would have been necessary for the leaders of the State to have originated it unless they had had the intention to pen sion oft all women and maintain them at the public's expense." Thus, out of material needs, Frau Stocker points out, came a new Ideal for women. This ideal first found public expression In the first German women's association organ ized in 1865, two years after Lasalle had founded the first German work men's association. For the first few years, it seems,. this association and other organizations of women were very modest in their claims for higher education and other oppor tunities for their sex, perhaps in the hope of gaining more sympathy thereby. But about the year 1890 they began to change their policy, the Idea having arisen among some that, in women's movements, as in politics, the saying of Bismarck ap plied, "Dutiful children get noth ing!" In this way a more radical tendency was created, and to this Frau Stocker attributes the more rapid progress of the last ten years. ,The new ideas have now pene trated every class of German society, Frau, Stocker says, and bave many sympathizers among men, as well as women. Women's organizations follow, to a great extent, the lines of political parties. Even the Clerical-Conservatives have recognized that it is now time to take up a position .to drive the' women into the camps of the Progressive parties. Accordingly, two ' religious organizations of wo men have come into existence, one the Evangelical Women's League and the other the Catholic Women's League, the latter under the direc tion of the Centre party. The fact that the Centre is now taking the womea's movement officially under its wing Frau Stocker cites as the best argument that the women's movement Is now being taken se riously and can no longer be Ignored. To Make a Suit Cose. The girl whose vacation journeys are few and ,far between, and who for that, as well as other reasons, cannot afford to purchase a suit.case, may make one for herself it she will. The case I wish to tell you of is very appropriate for the summer va cation Sittings, and costs little or nothing, as the foundation is nothing more expensive that the pasteboard boxes such as the tailored suits are sent home in from the shops,, and the covering is the cool-looking straw matting. This may be either the tea chest matting, which your grocer will give you for the asking, or it may be one of the heavier Japanese mattings, costing twenty-five cents a yard, or less. To make the case strong and dur able as well as neat in appearance two boxes are necessary. Carefully take them apart, which will give you twenty pieces of cardbdard that is, four sides, four ends and four top portions to each bos, or five pieces to each section of the boxes. Take ten of these sections (the various parts of one complete box) and lay them on the matting for a pattern, cutting it the same size. Now take bias strips of brown linen and bind each piece neatly; the sewing ma chine will do the work if a strong needle and a loose stitch are em ployed. The other ten pieces, which should be about an eighth of an inch smaller all around, are covered with brown linen in the same man ner, though in this case the binding may be omitted, the linen being lapped over half an Inch on the wrong side and stitched. Now overhand the corresponding pieces together, a matting-covered piece with a linen-covered one, with the pasteboard sides turned inside. When the sections of the two boxes are thus joined, giving you two sides, two ends- and one top portion for each of the two parts of a complete box, put the box together in Its orig inal form, using strong thread and close stitches, in the old-fashioned overhand stich. Now buy a .good shawl strap In tan leather, which a harness malter will rivet in place for you if you wish, or it may be left loose, and you will have a very serviceable and neat suit case. A final coat of waterproof varnish will render the case pad Its content safe from wind and veather. Maud E. S. Hvmers, in The Home Maga-stne. How Japanese Show Emotion By ALBERT S. ASHMEAD, M. D. Allow me a word about the "Calnj of the Japanese." The W7lter of the article in the Sun of Sunday is. in er ror in thinking that the Japanese sailors expressed no surprise or as tonishment while visiting New York in the "Bightseelng" automobiles. He does not understand Japanese facial expression. What appeared to him as "calm" was quite the opposite. Darwin in IS 67 presented the an thropological world with a formula for physiognomical researches, using Bixteen questions for "expression of the emotions in man and animals." Pro fessor Wernlch, of the Toklo Surgi cal Academy, in 1874 put these ques tions to the Japanese and obtained a set of answers, some of which, in ac cordance with Japanese peculiarity, are tinged with Occidental colorings, as some of the Japanese questioned were already in contract with for eign idea's. Astonishment in the Japanese is expressed by widely opening the eyes, slight raising of the head, stretching it up and drawing up of the eye brows. I watched those "rubber neck" sailors as thes passed me on Cathedral Parkway and recognized this expression on many of the faces. While deeply meditating on the sights they saw or trying to under stand some surprising fact bawled out to them through the megaphone by their Japanese guide many of them put their heads slightly aside and shook them at Intervals, and while conversing with those beside them drew the air between their teeth (a la Malay) with an "F" sound; they wrinkled their foreheads and held their mouths open. These signs showed that they were struck with astonishment and were not so calm as American observers sup posed they were. Complete (obsti nate) silence would imply not calm ness but contempt in a Japanese. To explain further how different the Japanese expressions are from ours, I may add that turning the face to cne side with a single bitter laugh like "ha!" means in Japanese su preme disdain. So doss a single smile, such as Mr. Sato used to employ when interviewed sometimes during the Portsmouth Peace Conference. Puffing out the lips and assumption of a falsetto tone of voice, with wide ly opened eyes, means scolding or reproval among the Japanese. The sputtering forth of words while speaking to mistress or master means bad humor when a Japanese servant in New York so speaks. He need not use any facial expression at all; his face is blank. Japanese are too shy to show expressions of guilt. Only by the deep sinking of the head can you tell whether the Japanese child is guilty or not. Adults do not sink the head at all and maintain a blank expression. Jealousy in a woman is shown only by the eyes being widely opened, the mouth being tightly shut. Not a muscle flickers; yet she is wild enough to stab you. Japanese never pod the head vertically, as we do, to express the affirmative. A slight bow expresses it. The negative is ex pressed by a single sidewlse turn of the head, so that the right ear comes to stand a little more forward; or it is expresed with the hand held downward, while the wrist is moved four or six times toward him who is making the sign. It a person to bo called is at some distance the arm is lifted forward at the breast level, the better to be seen. ' Lateral motion of the hand, at breast level, with palm turned out ward and fingers extended, means forbidding. The Japanese never puts his thumb to his nose with fingers extended, as our American boys do in derision. The Japanese identical sign is holding the wrist to the nose with index finger extended ami the other fingers tightly closed to the palm. One hand held like this in front of the other is doubly scorn ful. The Japanese never wring their hands In agony, or do they ever make use of the muscles of the neck. They never throw up the head or throw up the eyes to heaven. Handshaking is unknown in Jap an. Equals bow to each other at a separated distance and only to the same level. For one to bow lower than the other party would imply ac knowledgement of inferiority. Friends stroke each other's back3 with the hands. Deep sinking of the bead and flood of tears mean great sorrow. They grasp the hands together but never wring them as we do. They never "turn to heaven their faces bathed in tears." The Japanese while crying sinks his head and does not lift his eyes but holds the body shrunk to gether. He cries "Itai! Itai!" (It hurts! It hurts!) Just as often as we do, when in pain. In fact, he can not stand pain as well as we can. All the talk of his stoicism in this re' gard is stuff and nonsense. When condemned to death the Japanese criminal cries out in fear, just as any other human being would; he turns pale and his lips tremble. He is no braver than any other mortal. In victory he is extremely "cocky," but in failure or defeat he Is abject. All Japanese education is bent toward abolishing stiffness of backbone and teaching much bowing and self-depreciation; but toward an enemy a JapaneEe is extremely "chesty" until the enemy proves his superiority, when the Japanese is meek enough.

WHEN A GIRL IS AROUND. 1 tYhen a girl is around and is watching of you tt is wonderful, all of the things you can do; You can run twice as fast and can jump twice as high, You can turn a neat handspring and never half try; You can hop, skip, and jump, and you're never afraid To take any kind of a dare that is made: You can hang by your toes twenty feet from the ground On the limb ol a tree when a girl is around. When a girl is around and you're sura that she sees. You can do your best tricks on the swing ing trapeze; You can jump a high fence with the grace fullest spring And hang by your toes from the ropes of the swing When it's going its best what if you get a fall. You say that it really don't hurt you at all, If it makes you see stars and you're up with a bound And a smile on your face when a girl is around. When a girl is around some nice girl that you know, And the boys will stand back there and give you a show, You can walk on your hands just as far as you please And nver got tired if you're sure tli:rt she see; No matter what happens, you're not a bit scared, You'd lead all the boys into war if they dared, And you show all the lads that your lungs are quite sound And your let;" and your arms when a girl is around. When a girl is around Oh, the heroes we are! Who can lenp twice as high, who can jump twice as far, Who can cut up such antics as never be fore, Who can conquer all worlds and then look out for more: From sloughs of dead level as giants we stir To prove all our might and our prowess to her; And we reach dizzy heights at a leap and a bound As the lad at his play when a girl is around.

Origin of the Tooth-Brush. Colonial diaries and letters make It plain that our unfortunate ancestors suffered much from jumping tooth aches, swelled faces and the early loss by forcible extraction of teeth which at a later period might have been saved to render their owners many years of further service. No wonder, since the care of the teeth was little understood and that little often but negligently practiced. Toothpicks were known, tooth brushes were not, although rough substitutes were employed, made ot flattened sticks, split and pounded at one end to a stiff fibrous fringe. Tooth-brushes when first introduced were regarded as by no means im portant accessories to the toilet, but rather as minor luxuries and suitable !or women only. Baltimore Sun.
