The Msrrlag. abb age.

CHANGING down a carefully complied
list of fashionable weddings celebrated
during the last eighteen months, it was
found that the average bridal age
worked out at trifie over 25, which is
also said to be the age of our newest
Anglo-American Duchess.
Ideas on the subject of the marriage
able age have changed with changing
years, and no one will deny that the
change is for the better.
1t would be considered outrageous
now for girls to marry at the age when
many of their grandmothers took up
the cares and responsibilities which
that step almost invariably entails.
Girls of IA and 10 We're then looked up
on as women grown.
Their granddauEhters of today at the
same age are little else than children,
scarcely half way through school life.
With the next generation the mar
riageable age moved q step or two in
the right direction; but even then girls
We're classed as old maids at much
earlier age than any one would dream
of so considering them today.
In contemporary fiction, the blooming
Sweet seventeen Cor thereabouts) was
the favorite heroine, but today the in
genue, or boarding school miss, is
relegated comparatively to the back
ground.
Something more than a fresh COM
plexion and bright eyes Charming and
highly desirable as these undoubtedly
are) is required of a girl. She must be,
If not actually interesting and cultured,
at least chatty and conversant with
current topics. She must have tact and
adaptability, so as to avoid extremes of
all kinds; of being either too obviously
delighted by passing attentions from
men, or, on the other hand, aggressive
ly independent of the little courtesies
which any well-bred man will naturally
extend to a pleasant girl into whose
society circumstances may have thrown
him. Indeed, anywhere between 20 and
80, a girl is more likely to be sought
after than before she is twenty years
old.
IS one frequently hears thoughtful girls
remark that they prefer men older
than themselves to boys of their own
age. This is probably because of the
well known fact that girls develop
earlier than boys. On the other hand,
the old cast iron rule Gifted by Shake
speare in the familiar quotation, Let
still the woman take an older than
herself'O does not obtain to anything
like the same extent as formerly.

The first Board of Health ambu
A lance went into commission yesterday
The ambulance Is a handsome vehicle
built along the lines of the police pa
troll wagon, but is lower and better
adapted to the carrying of injured ant
sick persons.
The ambulance was turned over tc
the Board of Health yesterday by tbs
makers, the Hawaiian Carriage Manu-.
featuring Company. The cost to the
government was in the neighborhood
of $3.50.
1t is a solidly built wagon, about the
same length as the patrol wagon. The
| trucks are heavy and supplied with
flexible but very strong springs. The
wheels have large spokes and are
| equipped with extra large rubber tires.
| In crossing railroad tracks there will
be little or no jar, and the wheels are
SO adapted as to cross railroad tracks
obliquely without sliding the wagon
along the rails.
The body of the wagon is equipped
with lengthwise seats which can be
lowered, the cushions forming nat
ural pad to the sides after the stretcher
Is in position. The latter is on the
way from the mainland. 1t is pro-
vided with numerous sets of springs
and so adjusted that the stretcher will
preserve a horizontal position no mat
ter what inclination the wagon may
take.
Two steps at the rear give access to
the ambulance, the sides being pro-
vided with brass ratings. The legend,

Now here is the style of the popular
song,
The song that is always a HIT;
You'll observe that the rhynlng is not
very strong
That's one of the beauties OF it.
A little child was dying where
The light grew dim, one day,
The bedclothes they were lying on the
floor:
She looked up at her father, and
She unto him did say:
@Please, father, don't beat mother any
more.
Don't take your wooden leg on wnen
I'm living meath the ground,
Asleep away out yonder, cold and
dead
For some day you might break it, as
YOU try TO hop around
And with it pound poor mother on
the head"
CHORUS
Father. dorft beat mother
With your peg leg any more
When, at night, she greets you
AT our little cabin door;
Father, keep your peg en-
After | am dead and gone;
Be kind to dear old mother. for
You know she isn't strong.
The father knelt beside her there,
He put his leg away,
And down his furrowed cheeks the tears
did roll:
@Oh. darling. I'll remember" he
Unto the child did say,
AS in his arms his dear one he did hold.
The mother stood and listened, and her
heart was very sad,
She had beefsteak fastened on one
eye;
BE kind and gentle to her said the
child, remember, dad,
That raw meat it has risen very
high."
CHORUS
Father, don't beat mother, etc.
That night beside their dear one
they
Did linger all alone,
The peg leg it was laid across chair;
The joy had all departed from
That happy little home,
No more would childish laughter echo
there.
The sobbing mother took the beefsteak
from her damaged eye,
The saddened father unto her his
wooden leg did bring,
She put it in the stove. and while with
it the steak, did fry
The spirit of the child did hear
them, as they ate it, sing:
CHORUS
Father won't beat mother
With his peg leg any more
When she comes to greet him
At their little cottage door;
Fathers peg will never
More cause mother dear to weep;
They will now be happy, and
They'll save a lot on meat
Now, this is the style of the popular
song:
In candor we'll have to admit
That neither the rhyme nor the reason
is strong,
But that's what would make if a hit.

JAlLs IN JAPAN.
Discipline Is Military In Form, but
Reformatory In Spirit.

A Japanese prison is thus described:
Imagine park or garden in the Jap
anese style, with dwarf trees, surround
ed by hedge instead Of q wall. In
this park one sees a group Of Japa-
nese houses like those occupied by the
peasants. The prisoners are all at work,
proportional to their physical ability.
Some are thrashing and grinding rice.
Others are weaving coarse cloth of a
dark red color Of which the prison uni
forms are made. The old and infirm
are separating leaves of paper. All of
them receive percentage Of their earn
ings. The younger prisoners are in
school. The discipline is military In
form, butin it's spirit reformatory. There
are few evasions, Notwithstanding the
ease with which they could be effected.
One reason for this is the efficiency of
the Japanese police, which is said to be
the best in the world. The. prisoners
are divided into three grades and are
differently fed, according as they are
idle and refractory, amenable to disci-
pline or exceptionally well behaved.
The only other punishment is solitary
confinement in sort of dungeon, not
exceeding five days. No prisoner may
be discharged, however short his term
of sentence, unless his family or friends
assume responsibility for him. The re-
suit has been the organization Of
large number of prisoners aid socie-
ties"

Natures Method OF Telling Us That
We Should Not Eat.

A man who retires at 0 o'clock should

past Will find a light breakfast all

1t must be understood that the lack
sf appetite Is natures way of telling
us that we should not eat. Those who
Insist on eating without appetite live
Tor awhile, but go about their daily
toll with languid movements and an
expression of stern duty, making every
one around them feel that life is a bur-
den rather than q pleasure. This class

seen on their tables. A natural appe-
