A Rash Editor.

The Cleveland Press permits little
facetious diversion in it's State news
column, which is conducted by young
Norwalk newspaper man named Foster.
1t is appropriate to say that he is nn-
married snd unengaged. Lust Tuesday
he published paragraph to this effect:
"A Marion girl started her graduating
essay as follows: I am fairly wearied
out with the incessant prating Of the
lords Of creation on the duties and
sphere of woman. -
The paragraph closed with the some
what dangerous assertion that the edi-
tor would bet new spring hat that the
author of that discourse on woman's
sphere could not bake loaf Of bread.
Saturday Mr.. Foster received from
Marion large box. 1t contained sun
dry light loaves Of bread and cake,
marvelously toothsome. An accom-.
panylng aftldavit bore the solemn oath
Of the sweet girl graduate (who pos
sesses the pretty name Of Mae Williams)
that she had, unaided, baked the wheat
bread marked Exhibit A. the two
specimens of corn bread marked "Ex-
hibit B, and the chocolate cake ok
hibit c. The notarys seal Of Office
was affixed to the affidavit, and it was
settled beyond doubt in Mr.. Fosters
mind that his rash wager had been ac-
cclted. EIe therefore went out and
lavished his weeks salary on a new
spring hat. Of course, he had never
seen Miss Williams.-Cincinnati En-

The Japanese Capital.

Toxic covers an area Of 100 square
miles, but not until 1904 did it begin
to be city. From that time to this,
however, it has grown constantly. 1t
Is charming place, and there are
many beauties to be found within its
boundaries-parks and temples, the one
rich in colors of flowers, the wonderful
chrysanthemums (the Mikado's crest)
and camcllias fair and faultless as those
brought to us over the sea, the dwarf
and grotesque cypress growths and the
ponds of brilliant goldfish (some two
feet long) swimming in summer time
beneath the broad, blue.green leaves
and pink flowers of the the locus. The
temples are as rich in color as the gar
dens, and sparkling in gold and Jewels,
with carvings as intricate and ever
different as the very foliage Of the
parks. Here are statues to Buddha of
colossal proportions, and here the Shin
tn temples almost devoid Of ornament.
In a garden near the great temple Of

Hints to Young Men Who want
to Marry.

Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in poll.
tics and her mother in religion.
If you have rival keep an eye on
him if he is a widower keep two eyes
on him.
Don't swear to the girl that you have
no bad habits. 1t will be enough for
you to say that you never heard your
self snore in your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper.
If you do you will hear it read in after
Years, when your wife has some espcc-
ial purpose in intlicting upon you the
severest punishment known to mar.
ried man.
Go home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait till the girl has
to throw her whole soul into a yawn
that she can't cover with both hands.
A little thing like that may cause a

game.
If you sit down on some molasses
candy that little Willie has left on the

ly and remark that you don't mind
sitting on molasses candy at all, and
that "boys will be boys" Reserve
your true feelings for future reference.
If, on the occasion of your first call ,
the girl upon whom you have placed
your young affections looks like an ice
berg and acts like cold wave, take
your leave earl y and stay away. Wom.

In cold weather finish saying good

Law the foundation for future asthma,

Don't lie about your financial condi-

who has pictured to herself a life of
luxury in her ancestral hall to learn
too late that YOU expect her to ask a
baldheaded parent, who has been uni
formly kind to her, to take you in out

Don't be too soft. Don't say "These
little hands shall never do stroke Of

whence came the Conn cts?

The answer to the question: Whence
came the comets? would appear to be:
!. Comets which visit our system
from without were expelled millions Of
years ago from the interior Of sun.
2. Comets which belong to our sys-
tenn were mostly expelled from the in
terror Of giant planet in the sun like
state, but small proportion may have
been captured from without.
3. The comets Of whose past exist
ence meteor streams tell us were for
the most part expelled from our earth
herself when she was in the sun-like
state, but some Of the more important
ant were expelled from the giant plan
cts, and few may have been expelled
from sun.-Poftssor Proctor.
