What the JAP. Call Japan.

A certain Japanese who has been for
some years a resident of Philadelphia
and who has many friends here was
speaking the other night of his own
people.
"Of course" he said, 1--WE do moi
call our country Japan. Oux. name for
it is Nippon or Suns Origin indicat.

But when we speak of the entire en-
pire we call it Dai- Nippon which
means Great Nippon"
The Jap's eyes twinkled.

ed, "uninteresting to reflect that of
the eastern and western boundaries OF
the greatest mass of land in the world

group of islands inhabited in each case

very mixed characters, each of whom

Love PhiIfers.

A favorite plant with the old herb
alists was satyrion, name applied to
several species Of orchis AS far back
as the days of the Roman empire ii
was commonly supposed that the roots
of the satyrion supplied the satyrs
with food and prompted them to COM
NIT those excesses for which they be-
came proverbial. Kircher relates the
case of youth who, whenever he Wis
ited certain corner of his garden, be-
came SO lOvesick that he mentioned
this strange circumstance to a friend.
On examining the spot it was found to
be overgrown with species of saty-
rion, the odor of which alone had the
effect of inspiring love.-Chambers'

Shocked the Court.

A writer in Law Notes." speaking Of
the late John MacMahon, says: MAC
Mahon's style was painfully heavy, his
utterance a little thick, and he was en-
tirely devoid of humor. His hearing at
times was not Of the best, and for that
reason he thought it was the best poll
cy to agree with any remark that might
be made By the judge before whom he
was appearing, even though he did not
happen to hear what had been said.
On one occasion he was appearing be-
fore a master of the rolls, who thought
that MacMahon was arguing rather
elementary law for such court as his.
You are speaking as If were mere
tyro in the law, Mr.. MacMahon,' said
the master of the rolls testify. Quite
80, my lord,' said counsel airily, pro-
ceeding with his argument, oblivious
to and regardless Of what the Judge
had said"

told at meeting in Glasgow. The

The Orchid.

The orchid is peculiar plant, for,
strange as 1t may seem, there is NO
distinctively orchid odor One smells
like the violet, others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the daffodil. Orchids are the
monkeys, the mimics of the vegetable
world, in odor as well as form and
tint. No other flower resembles an or
child, but orchids are forever aping but
terflies, pansies, boots, spiders, pitch
plants, birds and what not And they
are not absolutely certain to look just
the same twice in succession.

HOW TO WIN A HUSBAND.

Woman'si sphere in this Goth century is
not limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession, and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best fits the posi-
tion of wife and mother and head of the
household. Every girl should know her
heart and also know that her womanly
system is equal to the strain of marriage
If girl is nervous and irritable ten chances
to one it is due to some trouble peculiar to
womanhood.
Cupid has no place in girls heart If
she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think of. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only symp-
toms. Go to the source of the trouble and
correct the irregu1arity. Stop the drains
on the womanly system and the other
symptoms will disappear. This can be
done easily and intelligently. So sure of
it is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, that they, offer $500
reward for women who cannot be cured of
leucorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or
falling of the womb, All they ask is fair
and reasonable trial of their means of crre.
rYour Favorite Prescription cured me of
liberation and inflammation, from which suf
tefed TOR many years. writes Mrs Delphia
Wheaton, President Santa Barbara Lawn Ten
ms Club, Arlington Hotel, Santa Barbara. Calf
"Health was completely broken down when I
began its use and was in dreadful pain most
of the time, but ter bottles cured me-"
'Favorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, sick women we'll Accept
no substitute for the medicine which worka
wonders for weak women.

The Capacity of the Lungs.

The lungs contain about one gallon
Of air at their usual degree of imitation.
We breathe on an average 1000 times
per hour, inhaling 900 gallons of air, or
24,000 gallons per day. The aggregate
surface Of the air cells of the lungs ex-
ceeds 10000 square inches, an area
nearly equal to the floor of a room
