piece of fiction. On the contrary, his
trousers bag at the knees in distinc-
lively American style, and the balance
of his wardrobe is of approved Anglo
Saxon makeup.
The story Of his long journey under
difficulties and his present aims is very
interesting. Yamachera heard of Mr..
Bryan during the presidential canvass.
He wrote to the then presidential
candidate, announcing his desire to-
come to Lincoln and adopt himseR as
the son of Mr.. Bryan, telling of his de-
sires to become a leader of the COM
mon people of Japan and his ambition
to some day enter the Japanese paflia-
ment. The reply sent from Lincoln
was anything but encouraging. Mr..
Bryan plainly and earnestly sought to
dissuade him from making the trip.
Nebraska summers were described as
decidedly the reverse of sunny Italy,
and Nebraska winters of a degree of
frigidity calculated to make the Orien-
tai teeth chatter. Nothing daunted,
however, fifteen months ago Yamache-
ra set forth, and In due time reached
his destination. His name of intro
ducing himself to the Bryan house
hold was circumspect. He informed
the then colonel hat he must hence
forth regard himself as his father, but
at the end of seven years, if all went
well, he might call the one-sided bar
gain off.
The persistency of the boy, if moth
Ing else, has aroused the interest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, and they have
seen that his wants are provided for.
He is at present taking special studies
In the University of Nebraska, and
seems to be making progress. Yama-
rhera is 20 years old and brighter and
heater than the average of his nation
atty.

SUICIDES TRACED TO FOOD.

DR.. Haig, an eminent authority on
the other side of the water. is of the
opinion that suicides may be traced to
error in diet, the error being the eat
ing Of meat, the drinking Of beer and
tea, and the smoking of tobacco. His
facts all fall comfortably into their
places in support of his hypothesis.
Are there not more suicides among
men than among women, and do not
men consume more meat, more beer
and more tobacco than the women?
Again, suicide is more common in Eng
land than in Scotland, not apparently
because the Scotch are a more canny
race, but because the English eat more
meat and drink more beer, while the
Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky
Instead Of beer, says the Hospital"
After maintaining that suicide was less
eommon among the Scotch it was per-
haps hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience, to go On to say thst
suicide increased with civilization. But
the fact was explained on the ground
Of more injurious diet, that Of civil
lied man being more productive Of uric
acid and thus of suicide than that
which prevails where civilization ia
less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at
the bottom of all this, and, according
10 DR.. Haig, the incidence of suicide
tallies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations of uric acid in the blood.
being commonest when uric acid ia
most abundant, namely, in the morn

PROBLEMS IN REAL LIFE,
Three Puzzling Questions Concerning
Matrimony.

MatrimOny.
The other day a Hindoo widower of
forty married a girl eight years old.
By a former wife this man has a
daughter of eighteen, who is a teacher,
his new wife being her pupil. After
the marriage the wife of eight said that
caste forbade her to go to school to
her own daughter. Problem: Shall
the daughter give up her job or the
wife stop going to school?
Maj. Stewart, aged seventy-five,
welded Miss Evans, seventy-one, in
Morgantown, w. Va, recently. They
had been lovers in youth, but parental
opposition separated them fifty years
ago. Problem: Is such a reuniting Of
lovers a romance or a tragedy? Will
they be happy together or will the set
habits of fifty years make them liable
to differ?
An application was made to an agri-
cultural bank in Ballina, Ireland, for a
loan to buy a new suit of clothes. The
rules limiting loans to profitable or
productive undertakings" were read to
the lad. He b~lushingly explained that
he knew of a tidy girl up the road with
twenty-five pounds in the bank, two
acres of her own, and a pig or TWO;
and sure if he had but the suit OF
clothes he could barney her into mar
rying him. Problem: Was he entitled
to the loan under the rules?
