an AnglO-Japanese incident of the
month which rests solely upon re-

King Edward decorated the shah of
Persia with the order of the garter.
Japan, learning of the honor. became
piqued. There were no exchanges Of
resentments between the governments.
but the press was allowed TO take the
matter up, and to show that the sun
flower kingdom held that, the shah be-
ing a nOn-Christian, the comforting of
hOnors upon him should be delegated
by courtesy to the nOn-Christian mem
Der of the alliance. Officially there is
no more to the story, but the sugges-
tiveness of it is unavoidable. Does
Japan regard its alliance with Great
Britain as a concession Of supremacy

Orient?-COlIier's Weekly.

SECRET OF OLD AGE.
"Mr. Dooley" Finds Serious Theme
in Recent Investigations.

W nCCCfN
The Saxon government has under
taken an inquiry to solve the secret of
cid age, and in this pursuit has
studied the life histories of seventy
three persons over ninety years old,
living IN the city of Dresden. The
fruits of this investigation have been
published and some of them are so APP
palling that only a strong journalistic
instinct compels us to record them.
The majority of the aged are of me-
dunn height. None of them is bald.
A majority are deaf. All of them sleep
eight or nine hours daily. Out of
seventy only FIVE are of serious dispo-
sition. These facts are not extraOrdi-
nary. Lots of hair. good sleep and a
cheerful spirit are recognized as
friends of health and wisdom. But
what can we say of the other dis
closures? It is a lamentable fact that
nearly all these ancient souls abhor
cleanliness. They wash their hands
but they are opposed to baths. Pure
air has always been supposed to be an
ally of good health and prolonged life.
But these old rascals will none of it.
Their rooms are seldom aired. They
sleep in closed bedrooms. Most
melancholy fact of all, they are not
total abstainers. One wicked old
woman confessed that she couldn't
live unless she got drunk three times
a week" The oldest man in Dresden,
a man of one hundred years, likes a
little drink" on his birthdays. On
the whole, though, the evidence in ia
vor of alcohol as a preservative OF life
is not as strong as the evidence in IA
vor of impure air and uncleanliness.
That seems to be indisputable. The
old fellows united in scOrning venti-
lation and baths. Have the hygienic
sharps been on the wrong track all
these years? Has the race been really
shortening the duration of life by
sleeping in well-aired rooms and sub
iecting itself TO the painful incOn-
veniance of the bath? This is a mat
ter that invites serious consideration.
Perhaps the doctors would reply in
the words of the familiar yarn: How
much older these people would be il
they had bathed. Finley Peter Dunno

English as "she is Wrote"

This nation has not had many con-
crosses whose opportunities were fair
er than those of the body expiring in
confusion to do things both useful and
honorable. It has lacked any which
failed more miserably. 1t has been in
conflict with the president; it has
been in conflict with the president; it
has been a betrayeT of the public.
For nobody has it done so much as for
interests and influences which are
dangerous TO the general welfare and
destructive of republican institutions.
For the dying congress there are no
mourners among the people of the
United States. Good radiance when it
is gone. May we have better deeds
from a sweeter memory of its success
