What 18 so useless as a pair of tight kid gloves In zero weather? A Minnesota man fasted for lOS days, this being just 104% days too long for us. ’ A Chicago jurist says that a motorcycle is a dangerous weapon. He must ride one. ’ \ ... The spring fashions will be devoid of curves. Again, the thin woman comes Into her own. A new Japanese battleship Is called Helyel. Sounds more like a battle cry than a battleship. The women of France are not good cooks, according to expert evidence. But, ah, the styles they wear!

A Paris doctor has discovered a means of fattening one by electricity. It must be a shocking operation. i - . A Chicago woman says she can’t live on SIO,OOO a year. She might try starving to death on that allowance. . A New York woman, under a vow of silence, hasn’t spoken to her husband fo?'eleven years. Lucky man! Rats are causing much trouble In Washington by devouring postage stamps. Why not poison the stamps? Kansas City complains that It Is overrun with fakers. Is Kansas City easy, or are the fakers hard put to 1t? Mexicans are abandoning bull fighting for automobile racing. Hard to say whether it’s progress or retrogression. Baltimore has a store with’ displays of rubber shoes for dogs. Another step, in their antl-noise crusade, perhaps. The Chinese have taken to wearing derby hats. Just wait till the hobble skirt strikes the land of cherry blossoms. Spain has set about building a new navy. Doubtless It will take better care of the new navy than it did of the old. Albatross eggs are esteemed a great delicacy in Hawaii. Hen’s eggs are esteemed a great delicacy in America. A scientist comes to the front now with the agile suggestion that poverty causes bow legs. Is that why jockeys have them? A Missouri woman lost two husbands by lightning. And yet they shy lightning never strikes twice In the same place. A Washington bride wore a pair of SSO silk stockings, says an exchange, and displayed only about $2.25 worth of ’em at that

Another pleasant thing about cold snaps is that they are never complicated with damage by lightning and excessive rain. A Detroit man wants a divorce because his wife talks too much. Like a man suing a city for allowing him to commit suicide. San Francisco authorities detained a woman who had sixteen trunks, and, although that was not the cause, it was cause enough. Nine people were killed during the twenty-day rabbit hunting season in Ohio. Strange how easy it is to mistake a man for a rabbit A Tacoma man, acquitted by a Jury, kissed three of them. They were women. We see right now where feminine juries become mighty popular. Navy officers imprisoned chickens in the turret of the ram Katahdin and then shot at it with guns. This is the poorest way to kill a chicken we ever heard of. The man with a cold in his head is a menace to society, say the doctors. Another menace to society is the man who habitually suffers from “cold feet” as a crisis. Three college men out on a celebration smashed an automobile and were promptly thrashed by the owner, who proved a football star. It always pays to investigate in such cases before taking action. Half way down from the top flight of stairs at an elevated railway station one morning not long ago a man stopped to read the conspicuous sign, "Look where you step!"—and fell down the rest of the way. One of those college savants proposes to teach wives how to spend money. Only one guess is permitted as to whether he Is married or not A New York divine despairs because ministers are paid less than laborers. But laborers are In greater demand in New York city than are ministers. t A one-legged man walked from Jacksonville. Fla., to New York. We should think that a man who has only one leg would take better care of it than that. __ 1 ' ■

SETHLI has come to Life

7 ETHI I, son of Rameses I of Egypt, father of Raineses tk e Great, and uwl /f founder of the ~ 1/ nineteenth dynasty, WaUkT;.has come to life again and is living in a dilapidated old houseboat on the Thames, near Staines, England. He comes to London every week and expounds the mysteries of Hindoo occultism to a large audience. At his feet, drinking in every word of his somewhat unintelligible lectures, sit titled women, and a small sprinkling of titled men, representative of that intellectual society of England which is ever ready to lend an attentive ear to the new, the weird, or the mysterious. Sethi I, in his reincarnated state, is thoroughly modern. He calls himself plain Frederick Thurston. For ten years he has lived alone in the Thames houseboat, delving deep into the secrets of the Hindoos. And all the while he had looked forward to the time when he can return to Egypt, not in the guise of his former incarceration, but as the founder of a psychic city on the Alexandrian coast. “To this city,” he said to the writer, “people could come from all parts of the world for mental and physical invigoration. People would live the simple life —simple food, early to bed and early to rise, simple speech, dancing and singing. There would be daily lessons, lectures in mystical and occult subjects, and everything would tend to develop the psychic qualities in the inhabitants and the visitors.** But if Thurston cannot found this city at the moment he is losing no time in carrying on the work which it would do. He believes that the afternoons are wasted by the English Intellectuals. The mornings are given over to sleep, the evenings to entertainment and pleasure; it is only in the afternoons that kindred souls can be gathered from the far ends of the great city and the higher planes of intellectualism be developed,, believes Thurston. And he has entered upon that work of development. In a little room In Regent street, not 50 paces from Piccadilly Circus, Thurston sits one afternoon a week and answers the eager questions of the men and women who thirst for the knowledge of the Hindoo philosophers.

The new Sethi I is a remarkablelooking man. Just above the average height, he has an enormous head crowned with an immense dome of a forehead. Across his temples and the shining expanse of his half-bald head run great protruding veins. But the strangest thing about this most extraordinary man is his uncanny facial resemblance to the Egyptian ruler of whom he claims to be a reincarnation. Compare his profile with that of the mummy of Sethi I and it is difficult to put your finger on a point of difference. There is the same sweep of the full forehead, the same long nose, the same repressive lips and, allowing for the sinking of the chin with age, the same formation of the lower jaw The resemblance of the ears and the back of the head is even more exact.

The process of reincarnation, while reproducing the outward form of the original, has played an odd trick in other respects. It has put the soul of this famous Egyptian ruler in the body of a Thames-side recluse, who

WORLD’S OLDEST MUSEUM

Dr. Otto Kummel, head of the East Asiatic department of the Berlin museum of ethnology, tells of the oldest museum In the world In the bulletin of the Societe Franco-Japonaise. This museum may be found In the city of Nara, the former capital of Japan. Since Its foundation, in 756, it has gone through all the changes of the Japanese empire without one single Addition to its collection. Dr. Otto

far from believing and practicing the the original, is deep in the of the Hindofis; who is steeped in, practices and preaches the beliefs of a secret cult of- Indians — the adepts of the Goathan temple hidden away In the soaring Himalayas, 16,000 feet above the level of the sea. where no white man has even penetrated. This religion is neither Buddhism, Theosophy, nor New Thought, but a strange mixture of all three. Its greatest vogue was reached forty centuries ago when the shrine of the Gosalnthan, nestling in the snow of the Himalayas, the highest temple in the world, was known and revered throughout the length and breadth of India. The adepts of this religion, almost unknown to the scientists of the present day, have developed to an extraordinary extent the study of the mind in the spirit realm, which is just beginning to take a firm hold upon the imaginations of thinking people all over the world. In the system of these Hindoo scholars there is a marked distinction between what is known as metempsychosis, or a mere passing of the soul, and reincarnation, meaning the passing of the soul through flesh, as in the case of Thurston and the soul of Sethi I. Gosalnthan is the chapel royal of the fabulously rich Maharajah of Napal, a seml-lndependent Indian ruler who is in treaty alliance with England. He, however, pays nu tribute to the British, but every five years sent offerings of fruit and flowers to the emperor of China up to the time of that ruler’s abdication. Although Thurston has never penetrated the sacred precincts of this Himalayan temple, he probably knows more about it than any other white man. For some years he acted as tutor and coach to a number of Indian princes at Eton and from them he gathered many of the secrets of the strange cult. But, quite aside from that, he has traveled in the east, studying the wisdom which was of so much earlier perfection than our own. He climbed many of the

ALBANIA FOR THE ALBANIANS

Much of Country Has Been as Independent as Montenegro—People of Native Stock. “Albania for Albanians" may be one outcome of the Balkan war. The Italian duke of the Abruzzi, the intrepid Polar explorer, has been suggested as reigning prince of this brave people. Austria may have other plans. Like the Welsh in Britain and the Basques in Spain, the Albanians are a native stock. They speak the only original Balkan language. The Turks have not permitted the Albanian tongue to be taught in schools. There is no literature, no agreement even as to how it shall be written. Of the few who can write, some use Greek letters some the Roman. The Albanians themselves are nearly all Moslems, but 400,000 Greeks, Serbs, Vlachs and Bulgarians in their land belong to the Greek church. The famous seven highland clans of the north known as the Malissori are Ropjan Catholic. Blood feuds, lack of roads and Turkish misgovernment make the interior the only part of Europe where ordinary travel is unsafe. One-quarter of all the deaths in the country are violent, either in clan warfare or in

Kummel is one of the few- Europeans who JiVere permitted to visit this museum. It opens its doors but once a year on a day in spring, when a special committee inspects the collection and a new list is made out The museum contains about 3,000 articles, which are said to be the most beautiful specimens of decorative work which have ever been produced by human hand, such as lacquer ware, dec-

Himalayan peaks, talked with Hindoos of all degrees, many of whom had never seen a white man before, and made his way in disguise into the wilds of Thibet Thurston is really a poet of rare power and at Cambridge he captured the chancellor’s gold medal, following in the footsteps of Tennyson and Byron. “At that time,” he said to me, “I intended to devote my life to poetry. But later I decided that it was more important to live poetry than to write it. I have been living it ever since. I live the year around on my houseboat on the Thames. I am up every morning at six o’clock and take a plunge in the river no matter what the temperature. Then I am ready for a couple of hours’ exercise. This takes the form chiefly of dancing. Breakfast out of the way, I am ready for a morning of study and meditation, for the knowledge of the mystics is inexhaustible and can never be wholly mastered.” Meanwhile the peculiar form of mysticism which Thurston ladles out to thirsty souls once a week in the room in Regefit street is spreading rapidly among the upper class of English society. A full list of th"& 700 men and women who have already fallen under his spell would include most of the intelectttal aristocracy. But while Thurston takes an extraordinary Interest in the progress of all these disciples, his star pupil lives at Staines, not far from his houseboat. She is none other than Cora Urquhart Potter, the famous American actress. Mrs. Brown Potter has become so saturated with the Hindoo lore that she is now recognizer as an expert, and recently gave a lecture on the subject at the Ritz hotel. She first became interested in the subject during a tour in India and searched long but vainly there for a guide to the secrets which are so jealously guarded by the natives. It was not until she returned to Eng1,- d and accidentally met Thurston that her greatest wish was satisfied. In the Staines recluse she found the mentor sbe had so long sought

clashes with Turks. Much of the country has been as Independent as Montenegro. The Turk never cowed or taxed its rugged hills. The Balkan allies may be willing not to undertake it. Of all fallow and backward races the Albanians have perhaps the greatest possibilities. Haeckel said that they have the best shaped heads in Europe. Their natural ability is great Emigrant Albanians in Greece and Italy have carried with ttfbm thely love of liberty and their valor. If an Independent government could introduce schools and check feuds, there would soon be another wonderful, progressive little nation in the southeast, quite capable of existing for its own sake, and not as a mere catspaw for Italy and Austria.

AN UNWELCOME TOPIC.

De Quiz—Paid for your Christmas presents yet? De Whiz —Say, let’s talk about something more agreeable.

Roses In Medicone.

Roses at one time figured prominently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny gives 32 remedies compounded of rose leaves and petals. Sufferers from nervous complaints used to seek relief by sleeping on rose pillows and one is told that Helogabalus used to imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up after his periodical gormandizing hours. The flower was also served at table, both as a garnish, in the way parsley is now used, and as a salad, and rose water was largely used for flavoring dishes. Roses as food have gone out of favor among western nations, but the Chinese still eat rose fritters.

Fire In Bank of England.

The first Are within memory occurred at the Bank of England, London, a few days ago. The Are broke out in the southeastern portion of the building. The flooring and joisting were considerably damaged. The outbreak was discovered by the Bank of England authorities and subdued by their own appliances in 30 minutes. A lieutenant and a dozen men of the Irish Guards on duty at the bank, with fixed bayonets, assisted the police in keeping the crowd back from the building.

THE BEST TEACHER. Old Experience Still Holds the Palm.

For real practical reliability and something to swear by, experience—plain old experience—is able to carry a big load yet without getting swaybacked. A So. Dak. woman found some things about food from Old Experience -a good, reliable teacher. She writes: “I think I have used almost every breakfast food manufactured, but none equal Gpape-Nuts in my estimation. “I was greatly bothered with weak stomach and indigestion, with formation of gas after eating, and tried many remedies for it but did not find relief. “Then I decided I must diet and see if I could overcome the difficulty that way. My choice of food was GrapeNuts because the doctor told me I could not digest starchy food. “Grape-Nuts food has been a great benefit to me for I feel like a different person since 1 begun to eat It It is wonderful to me how strong my nerves have become. I advise everyone to try it, for experience Is the best teacher. “If you have any stomach trouble—can’t digest your food, use GrapeNuts food for breakfast at least, and you won’t be able to praise it enough when you see how different yoif feel.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

FOLEY KIDNEY PIUS Are Richest in Curative Qualities FOR BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEYS and BLADDER Resinol cured terrible humor on face PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6, 1912. “In December 1908, my face be- ( came sore. I tried everything that was recommended, and my face got worse instead of better. I spent over SIOO and got no benefit. The face and nose were very red and the eruption had the appearance of small boils, which itched me terribly. I cannot tell you how terrible my face looked —all I can say is, it was dreadful, and I suffered beyond description. “J have not gone on the etreet any - time eince 1908 without a veil, until ■ — now. Just four month’s ago a friend persuaded me to give Resinol a trial. I have used three cakes of Resinol Soap and less than a jar of Resinol Ointment, and my face is perfectly free from any eruption, and my skin is as clear and clean as any child’s. It is about four weeks since the last pimple disappeared.” (Signed) Mrs. M. J. Bateman, 4256 Viola Street.
