PLANS A HUSBAND BOUNTY.
Japanese Government Proposes to
Reward Girls who Marry COI-
IeEe students.

Maidens OF japan who succeed in
interesting young japanese students
long enough to induce them to get
married will be rewarded in the near
future with matrimonial dowries by
the mikado's government if the plans
of leading Japanese statesmen prove
as successful as expected, according
to Secretary Yomma, of the Japan
ese consulate in Chicago, reports the
Chronicle.
What led the secretary to make the
announcement as to the prospective
husband bounty bill was the pub
lished account of the lecture in which
Prof. Starr, of the University of Chi
cago, made the sensational state
ment before his class in anthropol-
ogy that the marvellous advance of
the Japanese in the learning and civ
ilization of the western countries had
proved too rapid and was making
them the victims of an epidemic of
brain fever that threatened their ex-
tinction as nation.
statistics show that students in
Japan are affected more by eye trou-
bles from overstudy than by brain
fever" said Secretary Yomma. at is
true that our young men are very
studious, but our young women are
not expected to be scholars. They
are encouraged in the cultivation of
feminine graces and charms, and it is
becoming fad with some of our
statesmen to advocate a liberal mar
riage bounty for the maiden who
proves herself sufficiently fascinating
to cause young man at college to
forsake his books long enough to get
married"

REFURNISHING WINDSOR.
The Old Furniture In the Castle VIII
Be burned to Prevent
Its Circulation.

. His majesty intends to clear out
a good deal of the old furniture and
fittings at Windsor castle and replace
them with his own. Having this in
view, old residents have been on the
lookout for signs of bonfire some-
where in the precincts of the castle,
for in past times, when any chairs
and tables and other articles therein
were condemned, it was the practice
to have them burned, says Modern
Society.
The object of this was to prevent
pieces of furniture stamped with the
queens monograms from being let
loose, as it were, and so allowed to
drift into the hands of brokers, and
thence into the possession of persons
having no right to them, but willing
to pay almost any price to be able
to display such royal articles in their
own houses. 1t was a wasteful ex-
pedient, but one can understand the
need of such a precaution. There
have been so many instances of roy-
al gifts and discarded articles being
found in shops and stores that some
means OF prevention are quite neces-
sary. But up to the present time
there have been no indications of a
holocaust.
