1he Japanese believe in more myth
cal creatures than any other people on
tne globe, civilized or savage. Among
them are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con.
formation, but gifted with supernatur.
al attributes, such as a tiger which Is
sald to live to be thousand years old
ana to turn as white as a polar bear
Ahey also believe in a multitude Of
animals distinguished mainly by their
monstrous size or by the multiplication
OF their members.
Among these are serpents eight hun
ured feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant, foxes with eight.
legs monkeys with four ears, fishes
with ten heads attached to one body,
the flesh Of which Is a cure for boils.
1hey also believe in the existence Of a
crane which, after it has reached the
age OF six hundred years, has no need
OF any sustenance except water.

From time immemoriaI man has
pressed the lower animals into his SER
vice. The dog was an important agent
in bringing man from savage to bar,
barian and the horse had no small part
In making him social being. Other
animals have contributed to the civili-
cation Of man by furnishing him with
food, shelter and clothing. or, as in
the case of birds, by appealing to the
sense Of beauty and melody, raising
him to a higher aesthetic plane. 1t
would not seem an easy thing to press
bacteria into service and make them
contribute to mans convenience, but,
according to trustworthy accounts, the
thing has been done and these invisi-
BILE animalculae are to be utilized in
mines, powder magazines and other
places where heated lamps are unsafe
Professor Hans Molisch, of Prague
has reported to the Academy Of Sci
ences at Vienna that he has a glass
jar lined with saltpeter and gelatin,
inocuiated with bacteria, which glows
or three weeks at time. The light
renders faces recognizable at the dis
lance of two yards and large type is
easily leglble by it. It begins to look
as If the time may come when all
creation will be the willing servant of
man instead Of his formidable enemy,
as 1t was at the beginning.

Only men with an imperfect knowl-
edge of American history will believe
that the frauds in the postof1ice de-
partment justify doubts concerning the
SoUndness Of popular government. If
the frauds had been concealed there
would have been reason for despair.
But 80 long as the government has suf-
fcient vitality to purify itself the fu-
ture is safe. Honesty Is the rule in
public life. That Is why the exposure
Of dishonesty makes a sensation.

Andrade's failure to overthrow Pres
ident Castro's government in Venezue-
la is said to have been due to a me-
chanical blunder. When, at a critical
moment, Andrade's men lay In am
bush for Castro's army, the insurgents
could not make their guns work; the
firearms manufacturer had sent cart,
ridges that did not fit the guns. That
manufacturer should be subsidized to
supply firearms to, anarchists, bad boys
who run away from home, and people
who do not know when a gun is
loaded,

Now that 1t has been conclusively
proved that an electric car can be run
at the rate of 125 or 1870 miles an hour
without trouble German. engineers are
asking whether 1t will pay to do so.
Owing to the destructive effect of such
high speeds upon roadbed, it is al
legged that the latter must be built of
brick and cement instead of dirt and
broken stone. Again, to avoid the con-
sequences when one train meets an
other, it may be necessary to allow
thirty feet between the two tracks
thus materially adding to the cost of
a right Of way. Pessimistic views like
these deserve careful consideration,
but it must not be imagined that the
case is already settled.

MT is safe to say that if there were no love to

HSWE 8would be very few weddings and mankind
kSSSA@ would finally become extinct as the dodo II
ES6TMNNK marriages should be made after mature de-
kI9YSG Elaboration and careful reasoning one might
expect those contracted by persons OF
advanced age to be the happest. And yet that
is not the common experience. The common e1-
perience is that the happiest marriages are those
which take place early in life, and that when an
elderly woman gets married-we not speaking
of widows and widowers-they more frequently make
of it. The for this is not hard to find 1t Is
absolutely essential to the happiness of welded life that
there should be concessions Two minds cannot
always think alike; two people cannot always desire the
thing One of them must therefore, give way. Young
people learn to do this readily than older ones
As to the wisdom Of getting married and marrying young
there should not be two opinions Home life is the most
should be homemaker. There many things society
Is now organized which initiate against marriages except
among the rich and the very Among the poorest
classes of the population poverty is not considered bar

which Is ambitious to keep up appearances" and which
thinks 1t cannot afford marry. The young has
been used to living with certain luxury, and
living in cheaper neighborhoOd and with fewer Of the
comforts and cOnyenences of life. Each wishes to

CRACK SHOT OF REVOLUTION
Exploits of Timothy Murphy, One of
Morgau's Sharpshooters,

Morgau's Sharpshooters.
The battle of Saratoga, fought in Oc-
tobeT l777, has its place in history as
one Of the fifteen decisive battles of the
world from Marathon to Waterloo, so
wrote the English historian, Greasy,
and thus far nearly half a century has
elasped, and his word has never been
questioned.
Let us look at two characters who
shared in this battle, Col. Daniel Nor
gan, afterward general, ever the stanch
friend of Washington, and at the date
of which We write, the leader Of 7UO
sharpshooters; and Timothy Murphy,
the crack shot of Morgan's corps.
Morgan was far-sighted and clear
headed soldier; he had observed in the
action of October I, a noble looking
British officer, who, mounted on a mag
nlhcient charger, dashed from one end
or the line to the other. While this Of
ncer lived, Morgan considered the issua
OF the contest a doubtful one. he thara

1t is said that several of the rail.

the ACCESSIBILITY of arming such of
their employees as are exposed to the
attacks of marauders whose object ia
robbery. In view of the recent epi-

action on the part Of the railway man
