The German Emperor is, as every one knows, an advocate of the simple life and has determined to put down the ten- dency to luxurious living so prevalent is the aristocratic circles of Berlin.

Q. F, Maugham in a book on Portuguese East Africa, "Having shot an elephant," he says, "I sat by while the great slabs of s$in were removed from the gigantic sides enel the carriers, hastily smuntoned from the camp and reinforced by people from a neighboring village, proceeded to cut up the vast mountain of flesh, "Almost itilmediately a shadow flitted across the carcass, and looking upward one became aware that the deep blue above was rapidly filling with countless black wheeling specks. "The buzzards, kitee and eoapulated crows boldly alighted on the grass and on a few neighboring bushes and await- ed calmly the moment when we should take our leave, while overhead at a great height the shyer varieties, includ- ing the marabous, large bare necked vul- tures, and screaming fishing eagles coa- tinued to hover. "At length all the meat was carefully apportioned, the tusks chopped out and we started for camp but before we had marched twenty yards every one of those waiting birds wes settled upon the re- mains, while with a rush like the roar of a war rocket the greater vultures fell, with winge tightly folded, from a height of 300 or 400 yards to take part in the feast.

It appears that the nervous and the phlegmatic types of temperament require different methods of physical, exercise: The phlegmotie temperament indicates much reaerve en- ergy in both muscles and nerve cells, while the 0torvo11s temperament ptts- eesees less reserve power, but greater ability to use the energy at hand. In the development of strength the mental factors are more necessary than the muscular. One great lesson taught by these tests is that individual tempera- ment should be carefully studied before preaeribing systems of exercise, Poor Little Willie.

Automatic System Tried With Suc- cess in Austria and Germany. In Austria and Germany an autona- tie system of stopping feet railway trains without the co-operation of the engine driver or the brakeman has re- cently been tried, with satisfactory re- sults, The itppaartils consists of two parts, one carried by the locomotive. close to the rails, and actingdirectlyupon the brakes of the train, and the other at- tached to the track and connected with all signal points at curves, gates, etc. If it becomes necessary suddenly to stop an approaching train, the turning of a lever throws up a connection from the track to the apparatus under the locomotive which governs the brakes. At the same time an automatic signal whistle warns the engineer of what has been done. The brakes can be released In a similar manner.

This is the case with the Japanese town of Nagoya, says Mr. A. IL Edwards, the author of "Kakomono." It is a town full of porce- lain and fan factories, cloieonne works and cotton milia, The gateway to the cloieonne works leads down a wooden passage into a tiny court—a garden set around with the workehopa of the factory. It is not larger than the front lawn of a suburban house, but the skill of a Jap- anese gardener has planted a whole mountainside with forests of pine and bamboo, has spanned with an arching bridge the stone-grey stream at the mountain's foot. From inside the tiny matted rooms, no bigger than bathing boxes, which shut in three sides of the garden, the lllu- efon is complete, And the shade and coolness of the imaginary forest and stream bring a sense of calmness and repose, of quiet peace and beauty, to all the many workers of the, factory.
