A sxeward OF Merit.

While Tiberius was luxuriating st
Capree, an artist, who labored under
the Emperor's displeasure, discovered
the composition of malleabie glass, and
making vase of the most exquisite
beauty, the secret Of whose construction
was known only to himself, he begged
leave 70 present it. The Emperor stood
with bis court about him, and when he
hao returned the vase, which had ex.
cited universal wonder, the artist. to
every ones CONSERVATION, threw 1t vio-
lently upon the earth. The first emotion
in the circle must have been that the
man was mad, the next that the vase
was in splintersi to every ones surprise
it was AMPLY little dented on one side.
and the artist with few slight tans Of
his hammer restored it at once to its
original shape. The Emperor, thinking
that an art which could do so much with
Common sand and afew other equally
common materials ~ould naturally di.
minish the value of gold and silver and
BRASS, instantly ordered the artist to
execution.-Harpsr's Bazar

Raw Fl.h and psnn.r s.no..

Raw fish is common ARTICLE of diet in
both Japan and Co-ea, and attended a
Japanese dinner at Toxic where slices
of white uncooked trout were brought
in covered with ice and served as one of
the entrees. 1t was not bad to taste, and
my Japanese friends ate it with great
gusto. In Corea it is not uncommon for
the fishermen to take hottie of pepper
saurc along with them and to eat fish
as they take it from the hook, sprink-
ling bit of red hot chilli over it, and
eating it down without cleaning any
thing off except the scales. The Core.
ans are by no means particular as to the
manner in which their fish and meats
ore served. The entrails are sold and
eaten as we'll as the rest of the meat,
and common dish at big dinner is a
chicken baked feathers, entrails and all.
and served whole on tAe table,. G.

He Tells How He Threw Away the Chance
Of q Lifetime.
MANY people think" remarked trav-
cling man in my hearing the other day,
that our life is freer from monotony
than that of most people, but never was
greater mistake made. Nothing could
be so monotonous as the never ceasing
round of cabs, hotel registers and hotel
tare: No class OF men are more eriti-
cised and with less reason. You sit at
home in your quiet neighborhood in the
bosom of your family and say smart
things about the familiar manner of the
travelling man toward strangers and you
forget that to him there are ne strangers.
He is simply at home in the big round
world. He has lost his identity in any
particular place. He has been so oen-
tinuouslY on the go with only an occas-
ional day or week with his family, that
he Is no longer one of them. He has
fallen out of his place in the social life
of his own home. This is not funny, it is
sad. Give the travelling man credit as
he goes whistling through the world to
keep up his spirits.''

WY WOMEN MARRY.
some OF Their Reasons for Entering tn,
Matrimonial State.

SStAAC Va AheAE rtooBon9 IOr entering the
Matrimonial State.
There are all sorts OF motives that
actuate women to marry. For this act
her reasons are more numerous and
unique than for any other. The best
and most excusable reason is being so
much in love that she feels herself un-
able to live without the man she cares
for. When this kind of affection assails
her she might as we'll go and marry.
Marrying is the only thing that will
make her a useful and rational member
of society.
When girl marries in her SECOND sea-
son the man may be pretty sure of her
Whoie heart. 1t always seems a pity for
awoman TO fall in love so young, though.
In marrying at nineteen she gives up
fouF OF i've years Of perfect freedom and
unhampeFed pleasure. One can be mar
ried for a long time, but four or five
years are all that are socially accorded
to young ladyhood. These wears. with
their freedom and opportunities for
travel and reading, are. not TO be scorned.
they often give the strength and ex.
perieuce upon which is formed the sue.
cess .. lifetime. Every man and
woman should belong entirely TO him
self for at least four years of his perfect
physical and mental maturity. One
should know ones strength and ones
weaknesses before asserting the one or
resisting the other against fellow
creature.
Then in marrying young girl a man
seems to take more risk and more re-
sponsibilities than he does in MARRYING
one between twenty and TWENTY-FIVE,
Between those ages a woman's social
aims and worldly ambitions become de.
cided- remember seeing this sadly ex-
nmpiifed In man who married a pretty
village girl of eighteen and took hor TO
city. She thought herself very much
in love with him, and certainly he was a
very handsome, lovable being. In five
years she developed into a society but
terfy, loving nothing but herself and
tho Batteries of men concerning her
pretty looks. It seemed pity that this
little country girl hadn't had four years
OF single life in which TO develop her
tastes.-Atlanta Constitution.
