Janan's Modern Woman.

In reply TO the query about the effect
Of the new woman idea in Japan a
bright japanese woman replied as fol
lows. says the Detroit Tribune:
"Oh. yes. indeed. q very great effect.
We are beginning to have old maids.
Such thing less than a generation
ago was unheard of. but now we are
recruiting more and more old maids
each year The women's clubs are
making our girls much more particular
as to their husbands. The more educa-
ton a girl gets the harder she is TO
please in the way of a husband. When
she gets a knowledge of algebra and
geometry and chemistry and poetry
and drama she begins TO have ideals
and is not contented to marry the first
man or even the second or third that
she has chance to marry. and be-
cause frequently the fourth does not
turn up at all or is no better than the
preceding three she prefers TO remain
single"

Old Delusions.

1t is inexpi.cable how the old delu-
sion thaB man cannot eat one quail
day for thirty days holds its own
ANY man can eat one quail day for
thirty days, At Lawrence some years
ago VIII Upton ate two quails a day
for more than thirty days. For the
first week or two he starved himself
with the idea that he must keep up an
appetite. After that he sometimes ate
three or four of the birds in a day.
Another old fraud on the public is
the belief that a horse cannot pull a
sack of sand al the end of two hun
dred foot rope. Any COW pony in Kan
sas will go off on lope with such a
sack.-Kansas City Journal

At & period when newspaper discus,
sions were rather yap.d. despite the ac.
credited appearance Of the sea serpent
and the arrival Of the large potato.
Max Nordau in an Austrian journal
ropounded a problem that should lead

Why was it that the inhabitants OF
l.mpeu did not return 10 their homes
er the destruction Of the city:
Of the 10000 inhabitants a few hun

ray few days. The deposit Of lava

the eruption make them believe the
disaster might come again:

are Well kn wn to have been active
traders in copper and they manufac-
tured this metal into bronze by melt

ticles Were found in several of the old
mine workings in { rnwall. which are
believed TO have been left there by
that ancient people 1T a time when no
