MASTERING A TEMPER.
Th Method by Which Marlon Craw
ford Controlled His Anger.
Mrs. Hugh Fraser. sister of the late
F. Marlon Crawford, tells some Inter
esting stories of him In her book, "A
Diplomatist's Wife In Many Lands."
It was at the Villa Negroni, Rome, that
Crawford was born, an event which
so delighted his father that, as Mrs.
Fraser says, "my father was beside
himself with Joy and showered pres
ents on all of us to make us understand
and share It."
When young Francis was about ten
years old It dawned upon him that he
had a violent and uncontrollable tem
per, and with the simplicity which
marked all his character he decided to
get It In band.
"One member of the family constant
ly irritated him to the verge of frenzy,
and he ldvented a form of self disci
pline which very few children would
have thought of imposing on them
selves. My mother entered his room
one day and found him walking round
and round it, carrying on his back a
heavy wooden shutter "which he had
lifted off its hinges at the window.
"My dear child,' she exclaimed,
what are you doing?
"Getting over a rage,' he replied
doggedly, continuing the exercise.
'When I am so angry that I want to
kill somebody I come In here and carry
the shutter three times round the room
before I answer them. It Is the only
way.'"
Women and Tea In Japan.
No Japanese society woman has com
pleted her education unless she can tell
Just what grade of tea is being served
to her UJ1, Mikado or a hundred oth
ersand at least be able to distinguish
by taste at least a dozen "blends" in a
brand that has that many or more.
Such accomplishments are partly a
matter of inheritance and environment,
for Japan is a country where tea has
been raised and used for centuries.
With tea plantations five centuries old
and tea plants 200 years of age there
Is no need for tea commissions to fix
customs standards. As for the house
hold standards, the Japanese house
wife decides them herself.

of the' snake aud, coming In one
morning with some friends, began to
boast of bis power over the creatures
and the extent to which they would
submit to be played with by one whom
they knew. This led to practical ex
periments. The overconfident keeper
took an Indian cobra from its com
fortable sleeping place and, declaring
be was a snake charmer,, proceeded to
awing It about his head and play other
tricks jfth It A native snake charm
er would have known there was no
more certain way to rouse the snake's
temper'than1 this, for the race abhors
rough handling or sudden movement
of any sort. The result of the exploit
was that the keeper was bitten on the

In describing Dap. one of the Caro
line islands. Dr. W. H. Furneaa says
that children become more or leas pub-,
lie property on that Island aa soon aa
they are able to run about from house
to house, r ' . ' : ? 4
They cannot without extraordinary
exertion fall OCT the Island, and, like
little guinea pigs, can flud food any
where. Their clothing grows by 'every
roadside, and any shelter or no shelter
la good enough for the night They
cannot starve. There are no . wild
beasts or snakes to barm tbem. What
matters it if they sleep under the high,
star powdered celling of their foster
mother's nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their father's thatch?
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond of their children.'
On the contrary, tbey love them so
much that tbey see their own children
in all children. It Is the ease of life
and Its surroundings which hove atro
phied 'the emotion of parental love.
When a father has merely to say to
his wife and children. "Go out and
shake your breakfast off the trees,"
or, "Go to the thicket and gather your
clothes," to him the struggle for ex
istence Is meaningless, and without a
Btruggle the prizes of life are held In
light esteem.

' The visitor Inspected the specimen;
but although he bad the aid of a mag
nifying glass, be confessed that the
words and figures were Illegible.
"Let me assist you," the collector re
marked. Going to the kitchen range,
he thrust an ordinary conl shovel Into
the fire and permltted.lt to remain
there until red hot. Withdrawing it.

on the obverse side of the coin, and
similar treatment revealed the words

that they are invisible to the -naked

"Then bring it up Instantly!" sternly
ordered the Judge.
The official departed, and n minute

was pushed open, and the panting offi

- Probably but a small percentage of

The principal center of tbe manu

caterpillars are killed Just as they are
about to begin the spinning of. cocoons,
tbe silk glands are removed and sub

Is a secret of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women.
