America and Japan.

1t was decoration day in Washing
ton, that day that commemorated the
heroism and deeds of the American
soldier. Men, women and children
thronged the street cars on their way
to the national cemeteries to lay loral
tokens upon the graves of the soldier
dead; they talked of these things as
they cbstted. On Pennsylvania
avenue, 4 street and other streets
people were hurryiDg on their way to
meet engagements or to get out of the
city On early trains. A famous Amer
lean admiral stood at The corner of +
and Fourteenth streets talking with
newspaper correspondent. They were
discussing the result of the naval fight
In the Japan sea. AS they talked
four young Japanese walked briskly
by. They ranged in age from 81 to
20 years of age. Quiet, undemonstra-
tive, yet smiling and happy, they
stepped briskly up Fourteenth street.
They wore an air of confidence that
was noticeable to all. The old sya
captain turned his head to watch
them.

before long" was his brief comment.
'Do you really think so?" he was
then asked.
Beyond ail doubt. This victory
over Russia will, EN- afraid, tnrn
the heads Of the staid, conservative
Jap and he will go good many steps
further than would otherwise have
been the case. But our navy wouldn't
fear the outcome. The Japanese vic
tories at sea have been won by the
discipline and gunnery practice Of
their navy. Nussia's naval outfit is
notoriously corrupt. Millions spent
by the government for ammunition
have been wasted in purchasing info
rior goods that don't come up to the
mark and the difference in price goes
into the pockets of the drinking,
gambling officers. The Russian sea.
man is brave man but he has had no
discipline. His morals are bad and
he knows nothing Of gunnery. Our
naval officers are not drunkards and
they are not corrupt. Our officers are
just as quick witted as the Japanese
anG our navy is as modern and as we'll
fitted. The Jap thinks quicker than
the Russian, who is dull headed, as
rule. That counts much in a sea
fight such as was had between the two
navies. Togo fell upon the Russians
in rush and while their thick heads
were trying to decide upon the best
course the nimble-witted Jap was
making the best Of the situation. It
was like prize fight in this country,
in which the winner pushes the fight

D0N'TS FOR LOVERS.
FOR THE GIRLS.

Don't attempt to monopolize your
lover. Give him plenty Of rope, but
bring him up with short jerk once
in while, just 70 let hia, know now
firm hold you have of the other end.
Don't gush over him. Too much
sweetness clogs the appetite. Always
let him go from you hungry to come
again.
Don't be scold. IF you have a
lover worth loving, and you love him,
don't be afraid or ashamed to let him
know that you love him; but don't
slop over.
Don't flirt with other men. Most
men look on firt in much the same
way that baby does rattle. box
something to be played with and then
discarded. A fool is the only man
who knowingly will marry firt.
Don't quarrel. Quarrels are said TO
be loves condiments, but true love
has no more need Of condiment than
has piece OF lemon pie or salt and
pepper.
Don't attempt to measure tho Low Q
OF your lover by the depth Of his
pocketbo'h, especially if he happens
to be man whose only asset is m ad-
crate salary. AN extravagant wife
hangs like Iiiiistoue around mans
neck. The sensible man knows this.
and will cut loose before it is too late.
Don't advertise your love to the
whole world. It is sufficient to con-
vince the man most concerned.
Don't measure your lover with, a
tailor 8 yardstick. It is the man in
the clothes, and not the clothes on the
man, that you are to marry.
Don't idealize your lover. He
probably is neither better nor worse
than million other men, and your
loving him will not make an angel of
him.
Don't forget lat modesty at all
times and in all places is loves most
sacred crown. Don't tarnish tha.
crown.
Don't imagine because your lover
tells you that you are the most beau.
tiful woman in The world that he is
telling the truth. Love is blind, and
never more blind than when estimat-
ing the charms Of his beloved.
Don't expect your lover to be a
saint. Few men are.
Dop't let your love blind you to Ill
the rest of the world. When in love
you need see ou are doing
even more clearly than when you are
not in love.
Don't love where reason cannot Join
hands with the heart. IS.
Don't marry man to reform him.
Reform him before marrying, and be
sure thes, the reform goes clear down
to the everlasting bed rock. A girl is
fool who thinks that q man will do.
for her after, marriage what he cannot;
or will not do before. When q bird
is in cage, who longer fears It's.
wings? f.j5a .y.
Finally, don't forget that love is the
sweetest and most blessed gift Of God
to mortals, and that it should be Kept
pure and white, free from lust and
avarioe and sordid smbition, for the
god Of love is q jealous god, and gives
20 drink Of the blessed wine Of his.
rich vintage Of happiness only TO those.
who Worship OF hia shrine truly and.

Angelique put her arm affectionately around her waist, and said in iead tones. "AngeIique. there is a iadyphere vesy anx- ious to meet you"
 Angeiique turned. with evident reiuct- ance. and stared frigfdiy at The Geegee. who had come nearer and was holding out her hand and mumbiing her delight at meeting her. But one glance at An geIique's face freze The Geegee'B mouth into an O, and she recoiled as if she had seen a ghost.
 '"This is the same lady who was in Mir. Harrison's room the other night, and who hear was taken away in patrol wagea in an intoxicated condition But # was not true. because Angeliqus never drinks" ]"
 The Geegee ciutched the back of q ciafr and saxed fixedly at Anseiioue's face--a beautiful wax face with a permanent smile and unfaiiins rose-ieaf complexion.
 But what was she--it---doing in MT. Harrison's room7" sasped The Geegee-
 '"rhat was all a Joke-got up to mystify the hotel gosips. As regards the engage ment of Mir. Harrison and myself which I understand has been announced by--some one, wish to say that it Is not true. Mir. Harrison and I are very much attached. we do not attempt to hide 1t. but-but-- there are reasons why we can never marry. He is already married to a schooimate of mine, q beautiful girl who happens to be my--sister. She is in Europe at present. but we expect her home in few weeks. Oh! must you go? So sorry.

There had been fogs every morning since she had been there, too ana the swarms of servants and of people com ing and going actually made her dizzy.
 Her nerves were more shattered than when she went to the seaside, and MT. Mingo must, actually must, come and bring her home. Mir. Mingo did so at once, and the clerks who did his work fer him while he was away grumoied and looked daggers. But Mrs. Mingo had to be made happy at any cost
 Back to the city fiat, bag and bag gage, the patient MT. Mingo "toted ms wife, It took her two days to recover from the fatigue of her Journey, then Mrs Mingo began to be very unhappy again The weather was hot and peo- pie had to have their windows open. A misc ellaneous assortment Of noises, known only to the dwelier in town fiat in hot weather. streamed from the apartment houses out upon the circum- ambient air. Mrs. Mingo's search for happiness once more was vain.
 '"Tom," she said, weakly and wearily, "Ill die If don't get away into a quiet place in the country. There's cat with fiendish voice that squalfs all night; the Jones baby cries all aay' Smith and his wife quarrel every even ing and throw crockery and bottles at each other, and somebody across the air shaft has got the most horrible tin panny phonograph you ever heard, and it makes those frightful vaudeville jokes till o'clock in the morning. Oh, Tom, do get me into a farmhouse, quiet as the grave, where there are no other boarders and where I shan't have to dress but once a day I am sure could be happy in such place.
 Tom did.
 A week and a half passed this time. Whether Mrs Mingo had found happi- ness was not certain, but 1t was certain MT. Mingo had, for the time at least. But not for long. A letter came rom Mrs. Mingo and 1t read:
 Dear Tom-Pve got to get away from this horrid old place or die. can't stand it a minute longer. It's dull. on, the dullest spot on earth-nothing do- ing, nobody to see. Not even a farm wagon passes the road more than twice a day. They don't know how to make coffee here, either, and they don't give for the noise A big rooster crows at midnight and startles me out of my senses. Then just as day dawns calves begin to bawl, pigs sdueal and old MT. :. Turnipseed calls his boys, Josh and Tim. through a megaphone to wake them up I'll go crazy if I don't get away from here. It's so queer poor little me can't find happiness any where."
 MT. Mingo read the letter to his moth CT -in-law and asked her advice. Ills mother-in- n-law remarked:
 Its my opinion, Thomas. that If you took Alexina to Heaven she would be unhappy because the harps there were not of the new rose gold shade instead of Roman gold"

The popular notion that piercing the ear exercises a beneficial influence upon the optic nerve Is very widespread Lit- tie more than a century ago many men Tn Vienna wore earrings Tor the good of inc eyes Village folk in England believe in the good effect of ear pierc- ing on the eyes just as firmly as their like in Italy and elsewhere abroad. In fact. in some places ear piercing is re- garded by the rustics as a remedy for many troubles At the other side of the world boys have their ears pierced fror, a different motive. A writer on Chinese superstitions says that John Chinaman pierces his little boys ears and makes him wear earrings so that if an evil spirit happens to see him he will mistake him for a girl and will not take the trouble to carry him away.

 And so 1t came to pass that late in the day he made his first step in com ing to his own. He was in Picking. in Washington and in St. Petersburg. and in tho trying days of 1903-5 we have seen the portfolio of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in his hands And as If to crown the crown of thorns. he Is here in this country to undertake per haps the most difficult duty of his life. Of a truth he is the favorite child Of the gods.

Girls shouid Laugh.

Women laugh too little. Whether this Is due to their lack of humor or to childhood's training in gentle manners may be questioned. Certain 1t is that hearty laugh in woman's voice is rare music. An audience of women rustles with amusement, but seldom laughs. A group of girls giggle, but do not laugh. A woman reading the most brilliantly humorous story sell dom gets beyond a smile. When Sir Walter Besant, in his clever skit. The Revolt of Man." pictured the time in the twentieth century when women should have usurped all power--politi- cal, ecclesiastical and sociai--he srewd- ly noted that laughter had died out of England. and when men revolted against their feminine tyrants they came back to their own with peals of laughter. A Paris doctor has recently opened a place for the laughter cure. It is private institution and large fees are charged. The patients sit round q room. and at a given moment begin to smile at each other. The smile broadens into grin, and at . signal to a peal of laughter. Two hours a day of this healthful exercise is said to cure the worst cases of dys- pepsia But whether the habit of laughing easily and naturally could be acquired by this process is doubtful.

 The personnel of the Nippon Peace Commission Is remarkable for the lack ,of ornamentations. High sounding ti- ties, men of striking appearances-no only that but even the men with his toric embroideries-seem to have little room in it. Ability-sober. hard-work- hng ability-seems to be the keynote of it all; not in the least theatrical, without even a hint or a promise of a dramatic outburst of genius in the toilsome hours of the fateful negotia- tions which is so pregnant with the fate of the Far East. The head of the mission, Baron Komura Jutaro. does not tower many inches above five; neither is he the broadest of men. He makes one think of Alexander Steph- | ems of Georgia, and the men who R would swallow and digest him-or his brains, at least-must have a powerful stomach indeed.

 sAs AND INDIAN TERRITORY.
Pipe Line to Port Arthur-Have Options on and Own Wells With an Out put of Ten Thousand Bar
 reIa q Day.

Pittsburg Special to N. Y. Herald.
 Negotiations pending in Pittsburg for several days for the absorption of im- portant oil interests In Kansas and In- dian Territory have virtually been com pIeted. These will give the Mellons. the bankers with whom H. c. Prick is so closely associated. control of the most powerful petroleum company in- dependent of the Standard oil in the West, and will make them the greatest rival of the trust. A big line of op- tions expire on August and 1t is ex- pected they will all be taken up.
 Leading independent Kansas opera tors have been In Pittsburg for several days to effect the merger of their fn- terests.
 The capital of the new company will be $25, ,000, 900, of which $7,500.o00 will be in 6 per cent bonds. which the Mel- Ions are arranging to have financed by the Union Trust Company at par. The stock will amount to $17,500.000, of which $6.000.000 will be per cent pre- ferred shares and $11,500.000 common. It is proposed that $1,o00.000 of pre- ferred and s1.50o.ooo of common remain in the company treasury to be applied for future needs of the combination.
 It Is said that the Mellons will re- ceive $S,000,0 900 of common at par and $1, 900, ,000 of preferred for their work In collecting options ana unanclns the company. This will give them a clear majority of the stock. Of the remain der, ~$2.000,000 common and $4.o0o.000 preferred will be applied to the pur- chase of the various properties, which Mellon experts have gauged at 10000 barrels of production a day.
 Seven million five hundred thousand dollars In cash received from the bonds will be applied to the cash payment on the properties, to the building of the big six-inch pipe line from Ipanute. Kan, to Port Arthur, Tex; to the build ing of tankage for three million bar rels of oil and for working capital. It is estimated that the pipe line will cost $5, 900 a mile making the total outlay for this purpose $3.25o,ooo. Under the pending arrangement with owners or various properties s7oo barrel will be paid for 10000 barrels. Of this $2oo a barrel will be cash, or $2.00o.0oo for the entire production.
 It is understood that the Melons have agreed on behalf of their Gulf Refining Company at Port Arthur. to refine the product sent through their pipe lines at a sum not to exceed AZ cents barrel. and that 10 per cent of the net reve- nue from crude oil shall be funded Tor the redemption. of bonds. They also agree to take care of the product of the field in their new line.
