BROWN & CO, A somewhat \striking story dealit¢ with the now obsolete conventional suicide, “harikiri’ or “happy — dlspatch,” once common in Japan, is told Gourdon, When he was a young nian he had a corirade who, having assisted in the Organizing of the Japanese navy, was Subsequently raised to the rank of admiral in that force, He took the part of the tycoon, a; the mikado in ‘the © revolu . War and, having been captured; was tried: by court martial and sentenced to death, which in those days implied “harikiri.” When, however, the fatal sword was préesente@ to hint he flatly refused’to kill himeéif anddéclared that if he was to die somebody else must kill him. Threats -. and entreaties alike proved unavailing. He resolutely refused. The whole of . Japan was scandalized at such immoral behavior, which, however, saved his life. The Japanese penal code had never contemplated such a contingency as a man inhuman enough. to: refuse the “harikiri,” and in the end he was banished from the country and returned to France—St. James Gazette. . Your Shadow, “May your shadow never grow less” or “be less.” That is a familiar salutation. The origin is dim, but may be as follows:.When persons have made certain progress in the black arts they are compelled to run through a subterranean hall, with the evil one after them. If they run so fast that his Satanic majesty can catch only their shadow or part of it they become first rate magicians, but lose either all or part of their shadow. The expression means: May you escape wholly: and entirely from the clutches of the foul fiend. ‘ It is well known that after a man reaches the age of about fifty-five his stature grows shorter; therefore his shadow must be less. To say, “May your shadow never grow less,’’ means, “May you never grow older.’—New ee es Startling Evidence. Fresh teetimony in great quantity, ie constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds to be unrequeled. A recent expression from T. J. McFarland, Bentorville, Va., serves as example. He writes: “I had Bronchitis for three years and doctored ail the time without being benefited.

BROWN & CO, A somewhat \striking story dealit¢ with the now obsolete conventional suicide, “harikiri’ or “happy — dlspatch,” once common in Japan, is told Gourdon, When he was a young nian he had a corirade who, having assisted in the Organizing of the Japanese navy, was Subsequently raised to the rank of admiral in that force, He took the part of the tycoon, a; the mikado in ‘the © revolu . War and, having been captured; was tried: by court martial and sentenced to death, which in those days implied “harikiri.” When, however, the fatal sword was préesente@ to hint he flatly refused’to kill himeéif anddéclared that if he was to die somebody else must kill him. Threats -. and entreaties alike proved unavailing. He resolutely refused. The whole of . Japan was scandalized at such immoral behavior, which, however, saved his life. The Japanese penal code had never contemplated such a contingency as a man inhuman enough. to: refuse the “harikiri,” and in the end he was banished from the country and returned to France—St. James Gazette. . Your Shadow, “May your shadow never grow less” or “be less.” That is a familiar salutation. The origin is dim, but may be as follows:.When persons have made certain progress in the black arts they are compelled to run through a subterranean hall, with the evil one after them. If they run so fast that his Satanic majesty can catch only their shadow or part of it they become first rate magicians, but lose either all or part of their shadow. The expression means: May you escape wholly: and entirely from the clutches of the foul fiend. ‘ It is well known that after a man reaches the age of about fifty-five his stature grows shorter; therefore his shadow must be less. To say, “May your shadow never grow less,’’ means, “May you never grow older.’—New ee es Startling Evidence.
