CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN DEAD
Death of the Heir Apparent May
Kill the Aged Emperor.

San Francisco, March 2~2.-Captain s. A.
Day, United States Army, late command
ant at Fort Mason, this city, and more re-
emily of Fort Calby, Wash, returned
rom a several months stay in Japan on
the steamer Peru. lie says hat the crown
orince OF Japan is dead. and that the sad
event Is being openely dicussed in diplo-
matte circles, although ut the same time
the news was n state secret and was kept
from the public.
The heir apparent to the Japanese
throne, according TO Captain Day, passed
AWAY at one of the palaces of the royal
family between Yokohama and Kio. Japan
has just recovered from a mont OF
mourning over the death of the empress
dowager, during which period business
was suspended and festivities of all kinds
avoided. To infict the whole empire with
another siege of grief and mourning at
this time has been deemed inadvisdb!e.
and for that reason the death of the crown
prince is being kept "A secret.
Captain Day said that II was reported in
Yokohama hat the death of the crown
prince had completely Frustrated the en-
peror. whose health has not been the best
OF late. A rumor was circulated hat the
emperor was dead, but this was emphatic
ally denied.

1t was Saturday afternoon and he had
come in on an excursion. The con-
ductor had forgotten to take the check
out of his hat and was afraid he'd loose

His face was of the shade of red that
showed plainly that harvest was over,
while his sand-colored trousers looked
like the front legs of an elephant. He
was %, rural, unsophisticated and
abashcd.
He had stood gazing in the window in
a sheepish, half-frightsncd manner for
ten minutes before he came in, and,
after CHANGING neryously around, had
darted into the store between two real
old, motherly looking ladies. His eyes
wandered %nervously from one to an
other in the crowd, as though afraid Of
being recognized, and then he was
slowly pushed along by the crowd to-
ward the little black-haired clerk, who
had been watching him with some
amusement. She was standing ut the
button counter at the time.
The crowd stopped in its irregular
cbb and flow and the young man was
grounded directly in front of her, his
face roster than ever. Precipitation

RED.HAlReD GIRLS ourNumsEREp.
A Practical Test OF the Superstition About
white Horses.

My chum and roommate was a con-
filmed victim OF the betting habit. He
would wager his money upon the most
absurd propositions and in the most
reckless manner, and the oldest part of
it was that he really felt hurt if re-
fused To take up his crazy wagerS. The
result VAS that he usually paid my
share of our Don rent rs well as his
own, but this never worried him for a
moment. He was "A cheerful and steady
loser aud upon all other subject, he was
perfectly sane, SAYS the \. y. HyaiL

A prominent Pittsburg surgeon says
that if children are taken in hand when
quite young their noses can lie adapted
TO eyeglasses without danger OF much
pain, and he is willing to make the ex-
pertinent if any mother will furnish the
subject. He will charge nothing. His
idea is to engraft n protuberanca on
each side of the nose rs Il sort of saddle
for the glasses to rest on. They would
be no Disagreement, as the glasses
would cover them. When man was
formed glasses were unknown hence
many noses were %unproyided with the
necessary hump TO keep them on. 1t
is highly important that this oversight
should he remedied.
