Belgian Monarch Builds . Costly Jap.
 anese PaGoda.
 At Laeken, close to the royal palacA, near Brussels, there k now being per formed the finishing touches on mag. nifcent Japanese pagoda that has been erected to gatify King Leopold's fan cy. It stands on the edge of lake in the royal park, lending its air of Orien- tai mystery to Occidental surround. ings.
 While the illustration gives a good idea of the architectural beauties brought out in its design 1t fails, of course, to give even so much as a sug. gestiOn of the rich coloring that adds so much to the attNctveness of this unique structure. The pagoda Is dark red, relieved with gold and black. From the corners of each successive roof or balcony there hangs electric lights and one can readily imagine the effect of all this when seen from across the lake at night.
 It Is on the inside, though that its greatest beauty Is to be seen. The woodwork Is of rich bright brown color and deeply carved. By way of further Ornamentation 1t is touched with red and black in decorative eff. fleets, frightened here and there with gliding. and Is studded with plaques of gilded bronze. Splendid as are the decorations, however, they are out.

SKIN BOATS MOST ANCIENT.
Primitive Craft Made of Hides Are
 Still Used in Egypt.

Still Used in Egypt.
 Babylonian and Egyptian sculptures show goat and COW skins, roughly made into boat shape and used for river craft. It is likely that this is the oldest and most primitive form of vessel in the world, says the Detroit Free Press, and 1t came into use as soon as man had advanced beyond the stage of ferrying himself across water ways on tree trunks.
 In King Solomon's day the rivers Euphrates and Tigris were navigated almost entirely by means of such craft.
 Old as this form of water transpor- tation is, 1t has not disappeared by any means. Bible land still Is full of in land sailors who paddle skin boats that are not bit different from those that were used in the time of the Jew ish kings. The river front of Bagdad to-day harbors great fleets of exactly the same kind of skin and rattan boats that used to ply there in the days of Har0un Al RaScnlQ.
 Even in Europe there are races that still use boats made of skins. These races live in Albania and other parts of the Balkan peninsula. The natives tie three or more goat skins together and stiffen the structure with thin framework of rattan and tough grasses.
 Most of the boats are so small and weak that the passengers must lie fiat on them, while the boatman buoys himself with goat skin and swims along behind to shove the boat on. These boats look very funny, for the natives leave the heads and tails of the goats on the skins.

The Perfect Creature.

In his latest book of travel and oh. servation, Highways and Byways of the South," Clifton Johnson tells with what skill and gallantry a colored preacher complimented the ladies of his congregation. There was to be new member admitted to the church that day.
 Because the candidate was feminine, It seemed appropriate that he should refer to the miracle of woman's crea- ton.
 "Jewels," said he, "are found in the garbage and in the ice-chest; yes, dia- monds are very often found in the rub bish, but not so Eve. She was the cli- max of Gods work-the finest and most beautiful of all the things He had made.
 "She was created not from common dust, but from crooked rib taken from the side of Adam. She was in no way ordinary.
 "She was an extract-like cosmetics or perfumery which you ladies know about-something better and mo- con- centrated than the usual. There's a difference in things. There's great, there's grand, and there's greatest. The creation of the world was great, the creation of Adam was grand, but the creation of Eve was greatest"

 The main hall Is the most beautiful of all the rooms. The floor is a mar. vel of lacquer and rich decorations. The pillars lining the walls and form. ing the corners are covered with gild. ed leather worked in rich designs and every bit of space is beautiful with incrusted lacquer, carving or gilded bronze. The ceiling is painted with flowers in rich shadings of high colora and the floor Is covered with the finest of Japanese mating.

After 1t are Sumatra, with S6 days, Hindostan with 56, Borneo with 54, the Gold Coast with 52, and Rio de Janeiro with 51. In Europe Italy oc- cupies the first place with 3S days of thunder, while France and Southern Russia have 16 days. Great Britain and Switzerland have each seven days, and Norway has four.

U-F v V " '+.I la hURRAH FOR JOHN LiLll
Meek aud Lowly Country Editor but
 Entitled to Hero's Medal,

Meek apd Lowly Country Editor but
 Entitled to Hero's Medal.
 You have never heard of John Lill. He Is a meek and lowly country editor 1t Macksville, Kan, says the Nmporla Gazette. Last week he wrote up a wedding in the community for his pa- per-the Macksville Enterprise. He did his best, but the brides father was dissatisfied because John did not spread 1t on. The father of the bride came to the office of the Enterprise and said that John Lill didn't know how to write up wedding. The father brought in notice which he said would be satisfactory. He said, how ever, he wished 1t to run "just as 1t was written"
 Every editor In this country has these requests, and complies with them by politely correcting the errors of grammar and spelling and construction and bad taste, until the article handed In is fairly presentable. But John Lill-who should have Carnegie hero medal-let the article left by the brides father run just as 1t was writ ten," and here is the way 1t appeared:
 "March 1st, 1905.
 Married at the home of the Brides parents, South East of Macksville Mir. w. Parks Tucker X Miss Ruth Green wood, by Rev. Gebhart with heartfel solemnity by all present.
 'The guests who attended were MT. X Mrs. Greenwood giving a Minasota Sewing Machine, MT. Tucker silver su- gar bowl with spoonholder attached Mrs. Tucker silver knives x forks Miss Tucker white bed spread, MT. Scott Tucker silver tea spoons, Uncle F. Snider silver tablespoons.
 Brothers of the bride presents not arrived.
 MT. X Mrs. Futile beautiful water set; Mir. and Mrs. Vance white damask table cloth, MT. Guy Vance glass cake stand, Miss susie Vance glass dish, MT x Mrs. Perry Campbell glass fruit set x to make the presents more pleas ing the glassware all matches.
 "Dr. w. L. Pruitt of St. Louis, cary ing set.
 Also a number of presents from rel atives that were unable to be here ai well as the book entitled Bridal Greet lngs by Daniel Wise, D. D." From the Rev. Gebhart.
 ''To make things more amusing just as a number of eighteen or twenty drawn in wagon by four horses doing their best at pulling their jovial crowd to near the spot destined to be bat tered & hammered being united with scritkes & shrleks from feminine discord, & within sight though 1t was dark, as they were looming over 6 small. ridge a gun was fired which startled the stealthy merrymakers, un til they cried out ho; some one tak' care of me, etc., etc."
 Newspaper men all over the country are with John Lill. If he is damaged by the angry relatives of the happy pair, 1t should cost him nothing fol repairs. The profession should stand by him. Every editor in this broad land has promised himself that some time he would do what John Lill hal done, and every editor has been afraid to do 1t, when the chance came. Oyams may be great in his line, but while thu editors of America are devotlng bli black burly type to Oyama, let then not forget brave John Llii, who actu ally did what we have all threatened to do so many times.

A WISE MAN.

One admires the wisdom Of Stephen

trade he assumed millions, Like most
men OF wealth he had his experiences
with the courts of the land And he
found that a great fortune and q
tightly drawn win mean lawsuit 7s
soon as the body of the late lamented
has been placed in a tomb ana the
relatives down to the fourth genera
zion have had time TO don their fight
ing clothes.
Stephen Roath is giving his money
away while he is yet among the liv-
ing. He has been able to overcome
that rich mans prejudice against
parting with money while the lamg
of life still burns. If you are not
rich, you cannot appT ciate what a
mountain that prejudice is, or how
many hypochondriacal milli0laires
there are whose dreams are filled with
visions of the poorhouse.
He overcame that and he also over
camo the desire to pile up more
wealth.
He gave away a million dollars and
got solid enjoyment watching the Joy
of those whom he had made bene
fciaries.
AS age overlook him he distributed
a second million.
He proposes to leave very little fol
his heirs to quarrel over.
VINO shall say that his is not tho
wiser course7 He win die compare

he has benefited viii make good use
