O Kame li the name of the dainty little lady irhn i eh.ikvn n. the u eeomnanving Dicture, and for ceijiturles she has been regarded as one of the inost potent deifies who hold sway over Japanj. A popular goddess she Is. too, and In majiy legends she plays a prominent part. The figure in the picture Is fashioned of a curious Japanese metal, which is a combi nation of icoDfcer, gold and sliver. An ex quisite piejee of workmanship the figare Is, so beautiful Indeed that more than" one Euro- oean expert has written golden words In praise of it. Naturally, it took a long time to produc? a gem of this kind, but then in Japan the mcral workers are not only con summate artists, but also wonderfully pa tient, and for these reasons the work which they do-Is almost invariably faultless even to the mjnutest details. Though -I'lUe small, this figure of O Kame Is costly and is h'gh'y prized by the Japanese statesmar. who owns it. He has several other figures in his collection, but among thern all tj here is not one which is more beau- tiful than tri3. Reparkable Snails.

This furnished hirn with aa idea for a Joke, and a few hours later he telephoned to his friend from a neighboring town, wtercupon the following conversa tion occurred: "Hello, Irons bes. is that you?"

Pharaoh's Cora Fa!ke. Some time ago there waa a wonderai story In the European Journals about cer tain grains of ancient Egyptian corn which had been plauted in Germany arJ had duly come to life. . The grains, they Bald, bad, been found In an Egyptian aarcophagun and had ben planted by a Dresden floruit. Some days later the corn appeared 'abovB ground, much to the surprise of scientist a, who did not suppose that there waa any life In grain, which were from four to fire thousand years old. The corn, however, was certainly grow-' Ing, and even the most Incredulous among them soon, been me convinced that grain have a lease of life to which there la prac tically no limit. Alas! A boy, employed by the Dreaden florist, has now confessed that he planted some ordinary grains In the- same place where his master had planted the Egyptian ones and only a few hours after the florist had completed his work. Thl. waa sad news for the scientists and for the numer ous Journalists who had written enthusi astically about the mlraculona qualities of the ancient grains. The corn la still growing In the garden of . the Dresden florist, but no one now tmaglnca that any of It Is of Egyptian origin.
