One Of the allegations 10 q divorce
suit by woman in st. Louis was
that her husband was never interested
10 her conversation. Such a condition
Of affairs is one Of the results of hasty
marriage. 1t is too often the case that
marriage is on the wonan's part the
outcome Of desire to be mistress Of q
home, and on the part Of a man, a
protest against the loneliness and dis
comfort inseparable from bacheIorhood.
Thus, it often happens that after awhile
disillusion steps in and the incogeniality
becomes painfully apparent. II the
solemnity Of such an undertaking were
early impressed on the minds of girls, and
they made their choice with q fnll
cognizance Of the evils resulting from
hasty and thoughtless unions, there
would be more happy marriages and
fewer embittered women.-Prospector.

The Meteoric Tale Teller Yisits Phonir.

An oriental liar visited Phoenix re-.
Gently. He avoided reporters, and hence
his glory can only shine in q pale, re-
flected light. He claimed to be seeking
transportation for carload OF bear and
mountain lion skins he had caught in
the Bradshaws, grim trophies Of his
bold hunting spirit. But he went into
convulsions when q tame, friendly
Phoenix cockroach crawled down
his neck.
Then he told about an enormous
cliff dwelling he had found on the
Verde, containing four carloads Of
arrow heads, axes and pottery. But he
weakened on this when told that the
horsethieves, Dimond and Harris had
been shot in that vicinity last year.
He did insist, however, upon a meteor
that woke him up on the Little Colorado
last April. 1t struck near his feet,
burrowing deep quarry into the earth,
and heating 1t so intensely that his hands
were blistered in scrambling out. He
jumped into river, which ordinarily
was full of ice.cold snow water. The
meteor, however, warmed the surface
for depth of six inches, so that he
foated there till the land temperature
fell sufficiently for him to go ashore and
bury his horse which had been killed by
the shock.

sumed his travels and doubtless his

COrea, the scene OF the present troub-
les between China and Japan, is mostly
a peninsula stretching sjuth from the
northern portion OF China. Its eastern
shores are washed by the Yellow Sea, the
western by ths Sea Of Japan, while Corea
Strait forms its southern boundary. The
country is mountain Gus and contains 70,
900 square miles. It's climate is simila.
to that of Central Europe, nut more hu-
mid. Gold, silver, copper, iron and coal
are common in the mountain ranges.
Dogs are favorit9 article OF food with the
natives. The king is vassal OF the Chi
nese empire, but an absolute monarch 10
his own country. He maintains an ex.
tenslve hsrem and large body OF eu.
nuchs. The doctrines OF CONTIGUOUS
prevail. Women are held in low esti-
nation, and are not considered person.
ally responsible for their own actions.
Copper is the only coin used, and that
is of small denominations. Between
1906 and 1544 the Coreans carried on
war with Japan, but in 1897, according
to Japanese history, the Jsps invaded
the country with 10000 cavalry, occu.
pied three-fourths Of 1t and destroyed
several Of the oldest cities. notwith-
standing the fact that two Chinese kings
with 100000 cavalrymen assisted the
Coreans.
