Japanese Hara-Kiri Instruments of Rich Metals and Rare History Are on Display at Spooner-Thayer
If a Japan army officer or high official commits a wrong the only way he may atone for it is to kill himself with a special sword. Some Japanese army saddles, or harbors, shipper, or mystical doctors sticks, priest's sticks, and a haçuer saddle, all gifts of Mrs. W. B. H师, have just been put on display at the Sniper-郝师 Muster M. M. S. Mohel, curator of the museum.
According to an authority of Japanese capital punishment there are three ways of condemning men to death: they were used by the common people; and then harna-kiri was instituted as an honorable death for the better classes. The first is the death of their dynasty in the Shogun, which flourished from 1336 to 1568 A.D.
Privilege to Carry Sword
Everyone in Japan besides the nobles and the Samurai (military class) belonged to the choir (street people) who might not carry swords, except as in the case of the village sons who for some special reason or service was given the honor of wearing a single sword. The Samurai carried two swords—a long sword to use for self-defense, and a hakkari sword.
For any breach of law or honor there was just the one honourable death—hara-kari, preferred by them to simple decapitation, and for which the second award was always ready. The guilty man was other superior or might be himself by some superior or might be of his own accord and will free.
Ucklings For The "Doomed"
Haru-kiri had certain religious and cultural obligations, but must be conformed with. The doomsman should first bathe, dress in clean clothes, and have witnesses in to verify that the act was done correctly.
The grusome age included the cutting out of several parts of the body; the wearing of armor; and temple mummies but later it could be carried out in other surroundings.

An example of an net for which harara-kiri was demanded when about sixteen Japanese soldiers attacked her, or were her orders. This form of capital punishment, barbarous agit it may seem, was regarded as a privilege and they bury them in the strangulation as the two punishments would rain their family classes.
**Swords Possess Charms**
As might be supposed, these short swords are a bybathry of religion, lazily, and mystical charms. One
sawed and chained of dark iron from the Japanese gloves-clawed, silver dragon crowling around it. One claw clutches a gold ball which represents the head of a dragon. The body of the cover is in the form of a dute. A tooled leather case for another sword has a hoo-ho bird on it, a bundle of cord over skin snake or dragon scales is a gold leaf with bronze leaves. The pouch is to bring good luck.
There is a gorgeous gold-flocked black laceur shawl and hilt made in 1650 at Binden, Japan. Around it robe hands of carved silver with upward flame motifs are woven around in gold striped grass. The handle is poly snakexin — a favorite ground of sword handkerchief and has an open design of silver wire over it and more rhinata on it and a bronze tip that is a gold crescent moon rising from it.
Doctors Carried Sticks
Doctors were not allowed to carry swords so they carried sticks, slightly curved, flat pieces of a rich brown wood with red lacquer, bronze or gold inlays, painted designs, and earrings set on the sides. The wood was a striped, wide-grained wood and has a gourd vine blowing in the breeze at one end and two bees in gold, brunee, dark brown, and lead color. The vase is smooth, smooth polished bark with inscriptions and an ivory-bodied dragonfly with bronze wings sailing along upon it. Red incaracture maple leaves and a golden gold moon decorate a third stick.
A priest's stick has been cut from a grafted root which has seven natural formations upon it that book like supposes to be the hands of Buddha.
Generate Used War Fans
Two toy cars run fans, only one Japanese Generals to direct the movements of and give signals to their armies, are displayed in the collection. They have iron sticks so as to be durable and nice, gold paper cups, a paper cup with a single, huge, red paper with a single, huge, red disk and to represent the rising sun. The other fan has a pine tree painted in orange on it and a round, black moon.
The snail shell is made entirely of copper and gold dust heater. Raised on a metal stand, the snail sits at the front and at the back of the snail shell are two gold leaves with gold shells.

The entire collection is a very rare and valuable one.
Psychological Problems Noted
in Laboratory
(Other Campus Special)
Urbana, Illinois - A laboratory for the study of psychological problems in athletes has been maintained during the past three years by the athletic association of the University of Illinois.
In this laboratory a complete study is made of the men who come out for the different athletic teams at the University. A study is made of the coaches and the methods that they use. Students who enroll in the four course in athletic coaching meet with the medical side of the coaching profession.
Sponsors of the laboratory believe that every coach, like anyone else who must handle men and train them, has to be more or less of a psychologist, and that the most successful coaches are probably the best payoffs because they know how to handle men and how to get the most out of them.
A study is made of the mental and physical alertness, the memory and learning ability, the nervousness and the steadiness, the vision and hearing, and the thinking power of all students of the various athletic teams.

Twenty-five fireants has been the dawn pending penalty for any Greensman i the house who should have been in a break as a fire should buppen it break out in the houses. And then after an warning, it was the supermachaman who used both Rikh and Nirusha to escape. So they were oh. The stability of it all, they are now meaning. Of course, i must have been the effects of the fire broke on them so no fire beams, they the fire broke out shortly after the lays had returned from Columbia. Or they the supermachaman that suspect to the front in the last minute emergency and kept them from standing by to
It seems that not long ago, a fire broke out in another fraternity house which succeeded in ruining the place, and the brothers were able to build themselves a new home. Other persons of the old college had also died, old house in which they were buried to live, looked with envy upon this fraternity which got such a lucky accident.
And so it came to pass that a rule was placed upon the house books that if any freshman should turn in an act of insult or defiance he couldolve for the unintelligent act the sum total of twenty-five paddlings. Upperlawnment, it was understood,were to keep their heads in the event of falling timbers out of the way of falling timbers.
Thus it is today that the upper-classman stand around with hung brushes, summoning how on earth they could ever have been so dumb as to burn in and put out the fire which was surrounding him, keeping coal and moving out their old, victorious, and clothes to a place where they would be safe.

Keeping Messrs. Rack and Ruin far,far away!
NOBODY would buy a fine house and never spend a nickel keeping it in good shape. But many a man will wear a fine suit until it no longer does justice to the investment made in it.
Why not get full value out of the money you spend on clothing? The suit which makes frequent journeys to our dry cleaning plant always looks like at least as much as you paid for it and probably a bit more.
You buy good appearance by patronizing your clothier-you keep good appearance by patronizing us.
