WALK AS IF you WERE SOME.
BODY.

o. S. Marden in Success.-Never al
low your physical standard to drop
Keep up your energy; walk as if you
were somebody and we're going to do
something worth while in the world,
SO that even a. stranger will note your
bearing and mark your superiority.
If you have fallen into habit of walk
ing in listless, indolent way, turn
right about face at once and make a
change. You don't want to shuttle
along like the failures we often see
sitting around on park benches, or lol-
ling about the streets, with their
hands in their pockets, or haunting in
telligence offices, and wondering why
fate has been so hard with them.
You don't want to give people the i'm
preston that you are discouraged, or
that you are already falling to the
rear. Straighten up, then! Stand
erect! Be man! You are a child OF
the Infinite King. You have royal
blood in your veins. Emphasize it by
your bearing. A man who is con-
scious of his kinship with God, and of
his power, and who believes thorough
ly in himself, walks with firm, Wig
orous step, with his heal erect, his
chin in, his shoulders thrown back and
down, and his chest we'll projected in
order to give a large lung capacity;
he is the man who does things.
You cannot aspire, or accomplish
great or noble things so long as You
assume the attitude and bearing of a
coward or weakling If you would
be noble and do noble things, you
must look up. You were made to
look upward and to walk upright, not
to look down or to shamble along in
4 seni-horizontal position. Put char
acter, dignity, nobility into your walk.

FlNGER-PRINT "GALLERIES.

The measurements invented by M
Bertillon for the Identification of Grim
mails have been extended by the sys-
tenn of fnger-mark Identification,
which is based on the Bertillon conten-
ton that the lines on the skin of the
finger-tip do not alter. If the skin
becomes worn away the lines will re-
peat themselves. This method of
recognition is used in England, in
Cairo, Dresden, Vienna, and Buenos
Ayres. 1t is simpler than the older
method of bodily measurements. A
metal plate is covered with liquid
black pigment and the finger tip is
pressed on it. The finger-marks are
magnified and the lines counted.
Then the compartments are examined,
and if a card is found with the same
marks the identity of the person is
settled. Any ordinary policeman can
take the impression.

Japan's Foreign Trade.

Springfield RepUblican.-The for
eign trade of Japan has increased in a
remarkable manner since 1858, when
treaties drawn up with the United
States, England, France, Russia and
the Netherlands admitted her into the
circle of the worlds trade. Her adj
vancement in this line is especially
interesting now, as the country has de-
cided to increase it's tariff for war rev.
enue purposes. Ten years after
Japan opened her ports at Yokohama,
Nagasaki and Hakodate to the trade
of the treaty countries, her exports
amounted to $7776,5O and her i'm
ports to $5,346,50 In 1903 the ex-
ports were $144,751 900. This means
that Japan's foreign trade has increas-

THE SPENDERS.
They Are Not Always the People
With the Most Money.


Some astounding figures as to the
prodigal expenditure of our multi
milionaires have recently been laid be-
fore the public gaze. We have been
told what it costs to maintain steam
yacht, racing stable and a garage
full of imported automobiles. We
have had presented to our mental
vison the spectacle of an American
woman received at the court of St.
James with half million dollars
worth of jewels decorating her person.
We are informed that an income of
but fifty thousand dollars a year is
sufficient to enable it's possessor to
attain to only the minor peaks of social
success in our great metropolis and,
in fact, would scarcely pay the dress
makers bills for those who would
scale the supreme heights A pair Of
pearl-embroidered slippers for a New
York debutante are recorded to have
cost the sum of two thousand dol
lars, and the writer who mentions this
little item tells us that it is impossible
to give a respectable party at the
home of a metropolitan millionaire for
less than ten thousand dollars. The
food alone, he says, costs twenty five
dollars plate.
Whether the figures cited even ap-
proach accuracy or not, there is no
doubt that many millions of dollars
are wasted annually by our new
rich" on the baubles of Vanity Fair,
says Robert Webster Jones in the
Housekeeper. But in the contempla-
ton of Mr.. Midas extravaganza, az
we choose to call it, are We not likely
to lose sight of similar tendency
among those less endowed with world
ly goods? 1t has been said more than
once that a French family could sub
sist on the food which is wasted by a
family of Americans, and reference
was had to Americans in moderate
circumstances. The American has
always made it his boast that he gets
"the best of everything" and demands
quality when he buys, but the average
Englishman, Frenchman or German
could give him much valuable advice
on the practice of economy without
the sacrifice of comfort. AS a nation
we know much more about getting
the dollar than we do about how to
take care of 1t after we have got it,
We are the greatest earners and the
gratest spenders in the world. The

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.
His Obedent Nature Excites the

Wonder of Foreign Observers.
An extraordinary reason for separa

by Colorado woman in applying to
the courts. 1t was, that her husband,
by his unvarying obedience, made life
to monotonous for her. While the
statement is doubtless subject to
some discount on the score OF the re-
porter's imagination, it recalls the
familiar criticism of foreigners that
the average American husband is 'too
good" to his wife. In English house
holds ST. PauPs sterling words on the
subject are still quoted with approval,
and the elimination of "obey" from
the marriage service has not even
been suggested. There is a saying
abroad, that to tell the nationality Of
a couple one has only to observe them
entering a hotel dining room. writes
Robert Webster Jones in the House

IT, as type, the American husband
