Did Not Like wigs.

Signor Arditi says, in his Rem
iniscences, that Alboni, the prima
donna, had the greatest adherence
of wigs. Arditi became bald at a
very early age, and when he was
conducting in New York it occurred
to him that there could be no better
time than that for adopting artifi-
cial headgear. He bought q wig of
the latest style, put it on, sailed
forth to the theater and bore as
philosophically as might be the sur
prise betrayed by the orchestra at
his novel appearance.
No one, nevertheless, made any
remark upon it, and while the mu-
sicians were tuning up in the ar
lists room, he began to feel quite
comfortable in his new head cover
ing. Presently the door opened and
Alboni's face peeped roguishly in.
where is Signor Arditi9" she in
quired of one of the company.
Here I am, /" replied the conduct
or, rather shamefacedly, stepping
forward. She looked at him for
moment, and then burst into laugh
ter.
What, Arditi!" she cried. sis it
indeed you in that wigs Never, in
the world! Ny good friend, I
should never be able to sing with
that before me- Here!''
With one bound, she seized upon
the unfortunate wig, dragged it
from his head and threw it to the
other side of the room. He did not
replace it, and though he always
fancied that wig would become
him, he never again wore one.

Constitutional Government In Japan.

Constitutional government was
established in Japan in 1890. 1t was
the direct result of the promise
made by his majesty and was spon-
taneous gift of some of the imperial
powers and prerogatives to the PEG.
pie. Steps had been taken previous
ly to pave the way for the adoption
of parliamentary institutions by ex-
tending the rights and privileges of
the people, most notably by the Gre
alton Of the prefectural assemblies,
which exercise certain degree of
control over local affairs. Whether
or not such measures were of essen
tial value it is not necessary to in.
quire in this place. In any case it
can now be truthfully stated that
parliamentary government in Japan
has passed the experimental stage
and is established among the per
manent institutions of the land. OF
course this has not been accomplish
ed without friction between the ex-
eoutive and legislative branches of
the government. Political storms
rage in Japan just as in other coun-
tries, but the new institutions have
stood the strain of all conflicts.
Every such struggle has been car
ried on scrupulously within the
limits defined by the constitution
and every disputed question has
been settled in accordance with its
provisions. The constitution is re.
vered by the people as the founda.
ton of the self government gracious
ly conferred upon them by their
sovereign, and its mandates are uni
versally regarded as sacred and in.
violable. -Toru Hoshi in Harper

TO CAPTURE A HUSBAND.

Wrote Letters to Herself About Rio

Wrote Letters to Herself About Rich
Cncle Leaving Her a Legacy.
II have often said that there
seemed to be nothing new in the
postal secret service, 'said the post
office inspector for this district, but
have come across scheme that
was novel in some of it's details. 1t
happened within less than 100 miles
of Memphis, but as there was no ar
rest made it would not be proper to
mention names or places.
"The matter came to the atten-
ton of the department. in peculiar
manner. A registered letter had
been sent to Texas and had the APP
pearance of having been opened.
The Texas postmaster reported to
me that the letter had come to him
in bad condition, and I began work
ing upon the case. soon found that
the letter contained sharp piece of
paper which was little large for
the envelope, causing the latter to
bulge out a little. This being the
case, when the letter was pressed
tightly between a bunch of others
the sharp edge of the paper cut
through the envelope, giving it the
appearance of having been cut with
knife. But in ascertaining this
I struck upon little romance.
"There was young schoolgirl
who had been raised more than 10
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton in small country settlement.
She was desperately in love with
her schoolteacher, and he recipro-
Gated, but both were as poor as
could be, and he argued that there
could be no marriage without
money. Hence it was that this girl
figured out scheme by which she
could raise the funds. Her family
had formerly lived in Texas, and
she had an uncle living there still.
She opened up pseudo correspond
ence with this uncle, writing all the
letters herself and sending them to
Texas to be remailed there to her
self so that the proper postmarks
would appear. The series of letters
was long one and gave full his
tory of an old uncle who had been
one of the early settlers in his sec
ton of the Lone Star State. The
last letter narrated the death of the
uncle and the fact that he had left
to the girl legacy Of 81, 500. This
letter was shown to the tiance, and
it was on the strength of this money
that the marriage was to occur.
s'The girl went even so far as to
go to the Brownsville Glenn. Saw
ings bank with an attorney and
present draft for the amount, pur-
porting to have been drawn by the
Texas uncle upon asTexasl bank, in,
which the letter said that the leg5
acy was on deposit. But the lover
thought there was something wrong
with the matter, and so did the
bank, for the draft was not cashed.
1t was remarkable to me how
this country girl evolved such a
scheme and how near it came to get
ting her husband, but have just
closed my report, and it ended with
the statement that the girl was still
unmarried. - Memphis CONNER
