declare that he felt himself much in

(by forging his invitation. in order,
perhaps, to sport with their feelings)

tuberculosis causes annually more
than 10000 deaths in the United
States at the average of 35 years. AT
this age the normal after-lifetime Is
about so years, so that the real loss
of life covered. measured in time, Is
represented by 100000 years per an
mum. If we assume that the net
value of a year of human life after
the age of 80 years is at least 500,
the real loss to the nation resulting
from the disease Ga large proportion
of which is known to be needless)
may be estimated at $24O,OOO.OOO per
annum.
These astounding and almost in
comprehensive figures are far from
being an eXaggeration. but let us as
sumo that only one-half of this NOR
tality is preventable, and we have a
net possible saving to the nation or
S12O,OO0,O00 per annum. This esti'
mate does not take into account the
social, moral and sentimental value
of at least 100000 lives, which, under
different conditions, might reasonably
hope to continue for many years..

A Test Of Devo 10 n

Just as their decision was reached
the subject of their dispute happened
along. He spoke to them for a mo-
ment, but about all he had to say was
that he had lost his umbrella and was
looking for 1t.
The girls then adjourned to their
respective homes to write the notes,
which were both to the effect that
they wanted him to call that evening.
When No. 1 was safely ensconced in
her boudoir she made up her mind
that she would win, even If she had
to stretch matters a little. Therefore
she indited this note:
Dear Fred-I am very sick. Per
haps | may die. Come this evening.
The time of trial arrived. and, re-
markable as 1t may seem. Fred called
on No. 2. The explanation OF the
whole matter, however, is contained
in the other note Fred got 1t ran

MODERN WAYS IN JAPAN.
Western Customs Being introduced

and AssimiIated.
II you but try to look at a tiny hand
of any girl in well-to-do family of
present day Japan-a hand coming
out of a scarlet lined sleeve-you Will
easily find jeweled ring or rings on
her fingers. Jewels we had none be-
fore, but we prize them just the same.
As to the wearing of rings. even gen.
tlemen are often seen with a thick
gold ring made out of an old Japanese
coin called "koban." The study OF
the introduction of new custom is
Interesting.
In the case of "snow white pillows"
they were first used in hospitals,
where we adopted everything from the
west as it was. We did not have
sheets for our beds along with that.
but cleanness recommended Itself to
the Japanese, and the custom was
readily followed by those who took a
fancy to 1t.
AS to kissing, 1t is rather delicate
to touch on, but it cannot be dismissed
with a general statement that "in af-
fection and love the Japanese are out
wardly undemonstrative." All de-
pends upon circumstances. Generally
speaking, we shun the eyes of the
public to be demonstrative, or to seek
the occasion when all can join with
us. kissing as practiced in the west
is still strange to us, but no one who
knows about it would wonder II n
young couple of modern Japan should
take to it to express their love.

Girl Caught a Shark K

After about ten minuteG had been
passed in watching the battle of the
shark to get out to deep water again,
little bare-legged girl. sunburned
and golden-haired, came down to the
shore. For minute or two she
watched with the others and then
without the slightest hesitation
walked by herself right out into the
water up to her knees, selected her
opportunity and caught the shark by
the tail Without more ado she lugged
the fish up on the beach and dropped
1t on the sand, while the crowd of
men gasped in astonishment at her
nerve.
After the whole thing was over.
nearly every one in the crowd was
able to explain that the shark was
on. "dog shark" not of the man

Two New York girls. near friends,
fell in love with the same young man.
II any one should think for moment
that any censure attaches to him,
let it be said that he was not at
all to blame. The girls are both so
lovely that it is absolutely impossible
for any man who has the use OF his
eyes to meet them and not capitulate
at once. They got to comparing notes
the other day. Finally one OF the
girls vowed that the young man con-
cerned cared more for her than he did
for her chum, who promptly asserted
that the reverse of the proposition
was true.
They agreed to test it. and soon hit
upon a plan. Each was to write the
young man note asking him to call
at a.. certain hour. And. seeing that
he could not obey both commands at
once, it was to be conclusive PROOF
that the girl whom he favored was
in possession of his heart. After this
they felt better.

When the Democratic convention OF

Ocean City an incident occurred that
made some ten or fifteen sturdy men
feel somewhat small, says the Balti-
more Sun. 1t was about 10 O'Clock on
the morning of the convention that
some one standing on the porch OF
the Plimhimmon hotel saw an un-
usual object in the ocean not far from
the shore. The attention of several
other persons was attracted, and in
few minutes the cry went up, "A
shark. A shark" and there was
rush for the beach. When the crowd
arrived within about thirty feet of the
waters edge the great fish could be
plainly seen foundering about in the
shallow water. each wave bringing IT
closer into the shore. Not man in
the crowd cared to abridge the dis
tance between him and the shark. and

QUEER FISH OF THE NORTH.
NarwhaI One Of the stransest Of Sea
Animals.

NarwhaI Cne OF the Strdn9eSt OF oeA
Animals.
One of the strangest of sea animals
Is the narwhal. conjectured by some
to be the original of the fabled uni
corn. The great popularity of this
graceful cetacean lies in its long tusk,
a polished ivory shaft, straight as an
arrow and sharp as lance, which
protrudes from It's head to great
distance. This formidable and gilt
tering appondage gives to the animal
a striking and spectacular appear
ance. The narwhals appear off the
coast of Greenland in schools, making
excursions into the various bays and
fiords in search of food. A band OF
q hundred OF more form picturesque
sight when plowing through the wat
er in military-like procession, the
long, glittering horns all rising in
unison rs they come up to the sur
face to blow. Their advent is hailed
with delight by the Eskimos, as they
are said to be the forerunners of the
early approach of the right whale,
which uses the same kind of food as
the narwhal.
Greenlanders hunt the narwhal ac-
lively, as they are very fond of its
flesh, and the ivory of its horn is use
full for many purposes. The nutritious
skin forms the most delicious sort
of chewing gum for both men and
women and is regarded as choice
luxury. The body is covered to n
depth of three or four inches with a
layer of fine blubber, weighing half n
ton and yielding a large amount of
the best grade Of oil.
One of the most highly priced tro-
phies which Lieut.. Peary brought
back from his last journey to Green
land was the ivory tusk CT narwhal.
This is the record breaking specimen
of the world, measuring eight feet In
length and eight inches in clrcumfer-
ence at its thickest part. A realiza-
ton of its height is gained when it is
placed alongside a man. the extreme
point of the tusk overtopping his head
two feet.

LaYina Dust With OIL.

Oil is being used by the Southern
Pacific railroad in Arizona to lay the
dust. The roadhed has been oiled for
distance of forty-two miles on the
Tucson division and the company in
tends to thus lay the dust on 3s2 miles
of track. Du=t is the great source OF
annoyance to travellers on the South

company has been figuring for years
how to remedy this difficulty, but
without success until the oil idea was

In the early railroad days, and that
era may be brought down to com.
paratively recent date. roadbeds were
constructed largely along the lines OF
least resistance. The economy of
time was not considered as carefully
as the economy of construction. Then
came the era OF speed, when the saw
ing of the hours became all import
ant. New. high-speed locomotives
were invented and fast express
schedules were arranged with few
stops, but there was still another great
factor in bringing about the present
fast train service. that the average
person fails to take into account. A
great deal of speed can be put into
the track itself. And so came an era
Of Improvement in the roadbed. and
grades were cut down and filed up
to as near a dead level as possible,
and cut-offs were built, to eliminate
bends and curves. So with "a fast
track" and high-speed locomotives the
modern express trains and specials"
have reduced the distance between
points and added to the fast train Ser
vice without sacrificing either COM
fort or safety.-From 1.-The World e
