Japanese “Movies.” | Even the remotest towns in Japan have their moving-picture shows and in large cities they seem to be nearly as plentiful as on this side of the : Pacific, says Popular Mechanics. In Yokohama there Is a whole street of them, and as tho program of each is endless and each picture Is announce; In huge symbols on a separate variegated banner flying from a tall bamboo pole, the aspect of Theater street Is startlingly unique. The pictures Illustrating the sensational points of tho program above the entrances an at their sides have a certain quaintness about them, which is accentu--1 ated by the fact that they are all originals, not mere stereotyped tlsements printed In raw colors. Tho “getas" or wooden sandals of the spectators are deposited on a rack before the entrance to a moving-picture show, for where other people take off their hats, the Japanese leave their shoes. Guard Obeyed Orders. • Many stories are told of the Swiss [ mercenaries in the service of France. . As M. Edmund d'Auvergne says, they used to play In French humor the part assigned to the Irishman in ours. A • Swiss captain, ordered to bury the i dead after an engagement, went at It so thoroughly that he was burying the > I living with them. When this was pointed out to him, he replied: As to that, if you listen to these bodies they would have you believe there isn't a dead man among them. A Swiss guard had orders to allow no- • body to enter the Tuileries from the I street. “You can't enter." he said to -a citizen, who replied, “I don't want i to enter; I wish to leave this street." i “Ah! that’s another matter," said the ’ guard, and let him pass. > . Explaining the Valkyrias. According to the old Scandinavian . legend the Valkyrias are warlike virgin messengers of Odin, and their name signifies “choosers of the slain.” Adin desires to collect a great I mnny heroes In Valhalla, so that ■ when he comes to fight the giants at the end of the world he may be able to meet their forces. He sends the Valkyrias to every battlefield to make II choice of those who are slain. When |' they ride forth on their errand. mounted upon prancing steeds and fully armed, their shields and helmets shed a strange light, which flashes up - into the skies of the north and is called by mortals “Aurora Borealis,” or "Northern Lights.” Household Cavalry. King George’s review of the Household cavalry recently was the first which has taken place since Queen Victoria reviewed the crack troop in 1880. The Household cavalry consists of the First and Second Life guard and the Horse guards It is their duty to guard the royal residences and attend upon the king when he appears in public. On state occasions, the picturesque yeomen of the guard also are employed as a royal bodyguard. They consist of more than 100 officers and men, and wear the quaint uniform of the Tudor period, the same uniform that has been ’ worn since this corps first was established by Henry VII. . - , , How Dolls Were Named. Dorothy was once one of the most popular names in England. Indeed, it Is a popular name there today. But once before, several hundreds of years ago, it enjoyed great popularity. Many of its diminutives and abbreviations. ■among them Dolly and Doll, were quite as popular as the unabbreviated form. The most beloved toy of the small girl originally went by the name of puppet. But In the time when Dorothy and Dolly were the most usual names in England the puppet, a child’s most usual toy, was called a dolly. Such is the derivation of the name of the countless dolls of today. Women and War, It is especially In the domain of war that we. the bearers of men’s bodies, who supply its most valuable munition; who, not amid the clamor and ardor of battle, but singly, and alone, with a three-in-the-morning courage, shed our blood and face death that the battle field might have its food, a food more precious to us than our heart's blood: it is we especially who, in the domain of war, have our word to say, a word no man can say for us. It is our intention to enter into the domain of war and to labor there until in the course of generations we have extinguished it.— Olive Schreiner. Helped Child Gardeners. The Woman's club of Portland, Ore., In order to help the children who had planted vegetables in the public school lots opened a market which was quite a success. After it was closed Mrs Eunice M. Douglas, who was manager for the Woman's club, announced that she would keep the market open, for the benefit of those who had late crops, on her own responsibility. The market was not philanthropic except that, it enabled the children to dispose of their vegetables to the best advantage. $7,010 For an Inkstand.
