Runaway Match.
Happy as boy in his first love, JUS
tee Henry B. Brown, one of the old
est members Of the United States SUI
preme court, has been spending his
City, n j., says the New York World.
Albeit more dignifed, the justice and
his bride are as loving as ever any
youthful Romeo and Juliet.
To the utter surprise Of family and
friends, Justice Brown and his bride,
Mrs. Josephine B. Tyler, stole from
Washington and went to Crosswicks,
where they were married.
cit was sort of runaway match so
far as | was concerned, but l have
nothing to hide" said the judge. Il
sought to escape newspaper comment.

thought I'd do as some of the younger
boys do-go and get married without
any person knowing it. .
II didn't tell any one except my Sec
rotary, and didn't tell him until an
hour before went away"
It wasn't a fair question, thought
the justice when the reporter asked
how long had been his courtship. He
replied laughingly:
"You might say years. Mrs. Tyler
was dear friend Of my wife. She was
with her when she died four years ago.
She has been a friend of years. That
isn't a fair question, but Mrs. Tyler
didn't know my plans until recently.
"Every man should get married. But,
no, I refuse to moraliZe. If l retire,
shall probably go to Europe for time
and SOW my wild oats"
Once more the justice INDUCED in a
laugh. Il feel in splendid health, and
desire a little fun in my declining
years."

JAPANESE TOP SPlNNERS.
Remarkable Exhibition OF Skill by
Student.

Remarkable Exhibition OF Skill by
Student.
A japanese student of medicine was
showing a group Of Americans what he
could do in the way of top spinning,
says the New York Telegram.
He took up a big yellow top shaped
like chrysanthemum, wrapped silk
cord about it and threw it down. 1t
spun beautifully, this huge flower, and
out of it all Of a sudden a half dozen
smaller flowers leaped and spun in
their turn about the floor.
"a chrysanthemum top" said the
young man. Here is a bird top
He corded and threw down top that
resembled a gorgeous bird. This top
as it spun opened and closed its wings
and made long leaps to left and right
in imitation Of birds fight.
The japanese student wound a red
top as big as his head and hurled it
It shot through the air till it was with
In few inches Of the frightened young
mans face, and then. as though by
magic, it turned and darted back again,
and the student caught it on his palm
and held it there, still spinning.
''This is boomerang top" he said.
And again he threw it across the room,
and again it shot back, still spinning,
to his hand.
The young man now set going ST.
multaneously dozen small tops Of
red and yellow and green paper. They
looked plain and commonplace as they
spun, but suddenly they began to open
out, and one became a ladder, another
a lantern, a third a ship, fourth
branch Of cherry blossoms, fifth
dancing girl, and so on.
1.-THE Chinese" said the student, "are
noted for their kites. Why is it that
we Japanese are not equally noted for
our tops? All over our country we
spin tops, and my little exhibition here
would seem poor and mean beside the
one that really expert spinner could
give you in Japan"

A LIVE OKAPI.

sportsman's Glimpse of Giraffe-like
Animal In Africa.
Major james Harrison, traveller and
sportsman recently returned to Eng
land after an adventurous period of
big game hunting in the great forest Of
Central Africa, says the London Mail
He recently related the story Of his
experiences: 81 started few days aft
er Christmas and made my way down
to the Stanley forest, where the pyg-
mics are. l saw many Of the pygmies
They used to keep away from us on
cur approach, but afterward hung on
our rear. They are keen little people
and good hunters. None was over
shree feet ten inches in height.
Failing to find the okapi, l worked
up to Jabir and thence into the great
forest Of De Melley. The trees Of the
forest were SO interviewer with tangled
creepers and underwood that one had
often to crawl to make ones way
through it. On the sixth day in the
forest we came on the spoor of okapi
We had been following it for hours
when, on suddenly turning round d
bush, l saw an okapi not more than
fifteen feet in front of me.
ut was an animal something like a
giraffe, some ten or eleven feet high,
Of tawny gray in color, with stripes
over the lCins. 1t was gone like fash
into the thicket before l could get my
rifle from the native who was car1.vinr
it. l never saw the okapi again.

MANNiSH GIRLS DEPLORED.
College Head BIames Co-education
For Race Suicide.

For Race Suicide.
G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark
university, Worcester, Mass, told the
lati0nal educational convention at st.
louis that higher education and CO.
education are to blame for race suicide,
says the New York World
+By recent study it seems estab-
lshed," he said, that higher educa-
ton in this country reduced. the rate
of both marriage and offspring so that
ee--arely three-fOurths of our male and
only about One-haIf of our female grad
yates marry, and those who do so mar
~ late and have few children. In the
family budding boys and girls draw
&part. To run with those Of the other
sex is condemned by sentiment. A
large percentage Of high school girls
actually wish they were boys. We
seem to be developing a female sex
without a female character.
1.-THE rapid Termination of our schools
encourages women teachers to give
their own masculine traits and ideals
free. rein. Girls manners are rough
eued, and they do not develop pride in
distinctively feminine qualities or the
grace and charm of their young wom-
anho0d, or they lack a little respect for
their sex. Something is wrong with
the girl in the middle teens who is not
gusny or sentimental, at least at times.
cit is said that the presence of girls
Is humanizing for boys, but there is
something wrong with the boy who
can truly be called a perfect gentle
man I do not like to urge that he
should be little rowdy, but vigor
aslust not be sacrificed to primness."

Water Lily Incense.

The latest fad Of fashionable people
since the outbreak of war in the far
east is the use of the favorite japanese
perfume named the water lily incense,
says the New York Press. It is COM
monty used in all the homes of Japan,
as well as in the Buddhist temples, but
It has only recently been introduced
into the United States and is now be-
ing sold in all the Japanese stores in
the big cities. 1t is done up in little
cakes and burned like the famous Chs
nese joss stick, so we'll known in many
American homes, but it has a far more
delicate and aromatic fragrance. Doc
tors say that it is specially valuable
as a disinfectant in the sickroom, for
which purpose it is extensively used
in Japan.

Pleasant Berth at White House to Be
Given Naval Petty officer.
Lieutenant David T. Sellers of the
navy has been charged with the deli
cate and important duty of finding q
suitable petty officer in the navy for as
signment to duty at the White House
In charge of the national flag displayed
over the residence of the president
says the Washington Star AS is well
known, the flag is used to indicate that
the president it at home. 1t is raised
at sunrise and lowered at sunset in
strict accordance with military regula-
lions. Different sizes of flags are used
according to the weather, from a small
storm flag to the standard post flag.
Owing to the many mishaps which
have occurred in the past to the flag
ON the White House it has been con-
Sluded that its proper use and care is
sufficient duty for one man. Hereto
fore the raising and lowering Of the
62g has been intrusted to one of the
men around the house having numer-
Gus other duties to attend to, conse-
quently it has happened that the flag
has been flown in distress, that is, with
the union down, when there was no
occasion for such a signal, and at other
times the man in charge has forgotten
SO raise or lower it at the proper times
or TO change it to suit the changed
conditions of the weather. To meet
these conditions, which have sometimes
proved embarrassing, it has been de-
CIded to have a capable man at the
White House, whose sole duty it shall
De to look after the flag.
In looking for such man it was nat
HraI the authorities should favorably
consider the selection of a petty officer
OF the navy, as all such officers have
mad at least twenty years service on
GhipbOard and are thoroughly familiar
with all the regulations and customs
governing the display of the national
emblem. Lieutenant Sellers is one of
the presidents military aides, and he is
also connected with the enlistment di-
vision CT the bureau of navigation, and
so is well informed regarding the records
OF the men from whom the selection is
20 be made. The choice will undOubt-
eddy fall upon some man who has rem
4ered conspicuously meritorious service
and who may, by receiving this pleas
ant assignment, receive some recogni-
&ion for his services.
