THE KIND OF MEN
WHO NEVER MARRY.

There was never yet a bachelor of 40
whose heart has not been at some wo-
mans feet to take or leave as she
would says a well known writer, and
this. generally speaking. is absolutely
true.
However, there is one type of man. a
very rare one fortunately, who from a
mixture of cold love of self and miser1i-
ness rigidly eschews matrimony.
OF such a one the story is told that,
being on one occasion somewhat i'm
pressed by the bright eyes and red lips
of certain damsel. he gave some
thought to the married state and pom
dered Ger the advisability of entering it.
Racked with doubt, he ordered a large
meat pie to be prepared, and on its ap-
pearance divided it in half. There was
amplei Then the reflection crossed his
mind that in course of time a subdivi-
sion might be necessary
The portions were divided by a trern-
bling hand into two. He looked hesi-
tated and scraped them all on to his
own plate.
The daulseI had to find another lover.
Men who regard marriage as ian in
sane desire to provide for another fell
lows daughter" or the picturesque
gateway to a commonplace estate are
far better unmarried. The temporary
devotion of their little souls would
make no woman the happier.

renders the skin red in a patchy way.

As matter of fact, Japanese women
do occasionally marry white men. They
are glad to do so. So are all the other
women of the oriental races because
white men treat their wives better
than the brown and yellow men do,
though in this respect Japanese hus-
bands are superior to other Asiatics.
Japanese mothers among the common
people carry their infants upon their
backs in a hoodlike bag tied around
the waist and neck. The baby is thrust
into this bag, it's legs spread apart
around it's mothers waist, its head
sticking out over her shoulder. and
there it is carried till it can go alone.
But the alert, bright minded brown
woman is rapidly learning and utilizing
the opportunities of her western sis
tiers. Scores of Japanese women and
girls come every year to Europe and
America to be educated. Once when I

hama to San Francisco made the usual

VICTORIA REIGNED 2s,228 DAYS.

Somebody with the bump of statistics
abnormalIy developed has taken the
trouble to calculate the exact length of
the Victorian era in days. hours, min
utes and even seconds.
As the reign of Queen Victoria began
at 20 minutes past on the morning of
June 20, 1887, and closed at half past s
on the evening of Jan %. 1901. it follows
that the total length was % 223 days.
