HONORS NOT EASILY EARNED | | lelmu Wrestlers Who Rise to Fame ! Are Deserving of the High Po. e sition They Attain, \ e Troining for a Japanese wrestler is not easy. The training of our col- lege boys for an athletic event is child's iplay in comparison. It is not unusual for a novice to be gashed and bleed- ‘ing after being knocked about the | hard gravel of a private arena. Young | istudents come out at 4 on cold morn- lings and train until 8, Their fat and imuscles are hardened by constant ramming at wooden posts and thelr heads are hardened by being pushed | ivigorously against walls, Yet it is a « icareer any boy in Japan's villages laspiresto who throws more than the {everage number. of local rivals. { A champlon today has 150 or 160 “hands” or devices at his disposal. The tim, & worthy one certainly, is the rll‘lnxlnmm of force with the minimum t disturbance, Wrestlers are classified Into nine 'grades, ¢t which only the first three .jor four have pmtenloml importance. fln ench camp' there are three leading {lights. The champlon, the O-zekl, or lsecond champlon; the Seki-wakl, or ’ucond assistant champion;- the Ko- 'musubi, the assistant to the second plllltant champlon. The supreme jchamplon is cdlled, the Tokodzuna, but lthere have only been a score of these nlnce Japanese wrestling' started in \tlu prenuodn period. ' How Burmese Women Smoke. Merchants smoke their pipes from dawn untll dark, in Korea, writes a porreinondenh They equat down ‘when they smoke, and as the stems ‘of the pipes are 3 feet long, the bowl «can rest on the ground. In Bethle- them the hookah is véry popular among the women and it accompanles the snorning and afternoon coffee-drinking hour. Several tubes extend from the ater bowl through which the smeke ’;nllu in a ¢ooling process, and the iwomen gather about the hookah, each gelecting & tube, and all drawing smoke from the; common bowl. The Jurmese malidens smoke a cigar 10 inches long and as fat as a good-sized mndle and with a white paper cov- .‘erlnl. The longest pipes known are lthosa used by Hatives of the Belgian | /Congo. - These pipes have stems 10 or 12 feet long, with small bowls. hid intatches were used ‘to light them a flflend would be needed to apply the | me, but the native gets hls.light | y merely thrusting the bowl into his <| i Bats and Bees. | For many years I have noticed when !he lime trees are in flower the ground eath them strewed with dead bees | "(me small bumble-bee), states a Scot- tish correspondent on nature matters. | {But I don't think this can be the work | Io( bats, a9 suggested, for the bees are Jgenerally whole, outwardly, but their {insides are eaten away. Can it be ‘thlt there is_some tiny Insect in the lme flower which, fastening on them 'as they suck the honey, eats into their 1lmdles. and causes them to drop down \dud below the tree? I have never | noticed any number of bats about the trees of an evening, and besides a| (bat's mouth would be too large: to eat them out like that. 4 T % English Coal Miners Peculiar. The occupation of coal-mining in tngland is sald to pass very largely father to son and from uncle to 'nephew. It s a calling to which one is dedicated, and more than any oth- jer ¢© of workers the miners are a eutq and a people to themselves, It 'was about a coal miner, or, as he used ‘ v called, a collier, iwood grand used to be told—how he e piano out of his monstrous {wufi and, finding himself unable to i1t; took umbrage and kicked it flm ‘The story was generally nd much grieved over in mid- TMDE WAY INTO SACRED CITY | Enullahmln Claims to Be the Only Living European Who Has Set Foot in Holy Shefshaon, The Morocco correspondent of the |€R London Times claims to be “almost with. certainty” the only living Euro- pean who has hitherto visited She- shawan, the mysterious “secret” Mo- roccan inland city which is efficially stated to be occupied by a Spanish expeditionary force. Sheshawan, or more correctly Shef- shaon, he writes, is a small town of a few thousand inhabitants situated in the tribeland of the Bend Zejel, about 40 miles to the south of Tetuan. | The Times man says he visited it in { Moorish disguise in 1888 and only es- | caped with difficulty. He adds that the town fis :ma.ll.‘ p built along a sort of terrace on the |8 | high mountain side, and is renowned for its springs and streams. With the exception of its picturesque situ- ation among mountains, its aloofness and ity surrounding gardens, She- shawan presents no very particular features. Its inhabitants are poor. " Thelr In- dustries are the maWing of furniture in painted wood—brackets and tables :-—and the weaving of woolen stuffs. They are renowned for their mean- | ness, and a native proverb states: | “If you see a Moslem merchant from | Fez weeping, it is only a Moor of She- | shawan who could have got the bet- ' ter of him.” | PARODIES ALWAYS IN ORDER Omar Khayyam and the Ever.Delight- ful Pepys Have by No Means Ex- hausted the List. Does your memory go back to the time when everyone was writing par- odies of the Rubalyat of Omar Khay- yam? When it was considered very literary to know all about Omar, and when all the writers, both would-be and professional, were reducing the hypnotic quatraing to modern terms? The newspapers re full of “Omars Up-to-date,” and quite a lot of them got into the magazines before the craze dled wn that parodists songht other lnsplraflon but found no material that suited them quite so well, until a few years ago, one of them chanced on the Diary of Samuel Pepys. What a rich | veln. The parodists went mad over it, and have been digging there ever ' since, Almost anybody can fill up a | column with chronicles in the Pepys style, while the clever writer, by this | means, can make himself entertaining. Some other original genius will soon take the place of Mr. Pepys in the re- gard of the copyists, for the popular ity of the creative masters of litera- ture I3 more or less changeful, de- pendent upon time or circumstances, while the work of the parodist goes on forever.—Ohio State Journal. British Warship Badges. The British admiralty has decided to provide every British warship n future with its own distinctive badge. These are being designed' by Maj. Charles Foulkes, heraldic adviser to the admiralty, who has already in- vented 150 badges. Considerable in- genulty has been exercised, as the following examples will show: Ven- turous, two dice; Sportive, a butting goat; Tacticlan, a chess knight; In- constant, a butterfly; Sesame, a key; Sterling, £; Watchful, an eye; Viva- clous, head ‘of Mr. Lloyd George; Ter- ‘magant, a fury; Nile, head of Nelson; Truculent, Britisher smashing a Hun. | Each badge will be carved in wood | and then cast in brass, colored, and fitted on the quarterdeck, as well as on elther bow of the boat. Two plagues are to be* used, the smaller one for tlic boats being about eight inches square, and the one for the quarterdeck about 18 inches square. | Each badge Is designed In some way to represent the name of the boat pic- torially, or when that is impossible, | embodying some device connected with its history. The designs will be used also on note paper, and probabl on the brass muzzle-caps of gum which are privately bought by officers of battleships. i —_— Flat Feet Treatment Successfub ‘War experiences have changed our ‘views about flat feet. It was at one time assumed that individuals so af- flicted were destined to lead sedentary lives, and that they were disqualified from partaking in vocations requiring the constant use of the feet, such as military service.. This erroneous idea is still universal in Europe and to a | large extent In America. It is in weak feet that the bones of the arch drop to the ground, the muscles and ligaments being so weak and flabby that they cannot hold up the arch bones. After a series of treatments In the most chronic cases, the~pro- lapsed bones will gradually rise until they reach thelir normal height. “Flivver” Alrplanes. From time to time a photograph ap- pears, depicting a new airplane of com- pact dimenslons and equipped with a low-power engine. Such airplanes are generally hailed as “everybody’s” air- plane and the coming “flivvers” of the air. Yet an examination of théSe ma- chines soon discloses the fact that they are of little practical value. They are too small to be steady in flight, too low-powered to fly under moder- ately adverse conditions, too filmsy to last long and, taking it all in all, ab- solutely Worthless for serious work of any kind. They should generally be treated as novelties, except in rare -Instances.—Scientific American. . |Subscsive for The Daily Pioneer.
