Senatorship Under Certain
Conditions.

NJ. La Toilette. was on Wednesday in the
joint legislative assembly elected Unit

Quarles. The governor received 101
votes out of 1913. The democratic con-

Perhaps one Of the severest Of Ell.
quotes in Japan is that of smiles.
When you have lived in that land of
smiles you will learn in time that
when you can understand Japanese
smile you may hope to understand the
people,. A daughter-in.law must al.
ways present a smiling face to her
mother.in-law; the servant must smile
when his mistress dismisses him. But
the news of a death must be told With
laughter! Laughter is reserved for
very special occasions and has no re.
lation to Joy. It may be called an ar.
and nature study combined.

Until 1887 there was no public tele.
phone service in Japan. The first city
systems were installed in Toxic and
Yokohama in 1890, and these were
followed shortly by others, until at
the end of 1901 there were 179 public
stations, with Is city systems and Is,
900 subscribers. At the same time 25.
900 other persons we're demanding
telephone service. The telephone and
telegraph apparatus in Japan is of the
most modern type, as progress else
where is followed closely. In fact, there
is no line of modern activity in which
the Japanese is outdone.

The Ace of Pretense.

Pretense is one of the fashions of
the time. Pretense is becoming SO
perfected and so general that if per
son should put off all pretense he
would run the risk of being charged
with affectation.
Next to having, the best thing now
adays is seeming to have. There is
really some foundation in reason for
this kind of pretense, since it has be-
come the fashion of the world to
measure a mans success in life by
the dollars he has made.
Here is a cable message which tells
of a new phrase of pretense:
"Paris-The existence Of new and
curious business in Paris has just
transpired. This is the hiring out of
wedding presents to brides, so that
they may impress their friends and
their acquaintances with the number
and value of their gifts. Jewelry,
lace, furs, etc., are lent out for con-
sideration, and after they have served
their purpose and been duly chrOni-
cled in the newspapers they are re-
turned to the owners. 1t appears that
a well-known Paris jeweler does a
large business Of this nature. WASH

Queer Proofs of Love.

Nine. Myriam Harry, the Partisan
novelist who has travelled about the
world a good deal, tells what evil
dences of affection are priced by men
and women in different countries. In
Jerusalem she once met young Arab
woman who had not a tooth left in
her head. Nine. Harry's native ser
want said: Lucky woman; her hus-
band knocked all her teeth out. He
does love her" In Cochin China
Nine. Harry was told that there a
husband was not believed to love his
wife properly until he had made a
present to her Of coffin. In Galicia,
among the sect of masochists, man
values his wife's affection by the de-
grees of suffering which she causes
him to endure. Nine. Harry there
once heard a betrothed youth say to
his affianced bride: IF you really
loved me you would consent to bind
me and fog me with this whip" At
Stockholm one of NINE. Harry's
friends is now suing her husband for
divorce on the ground that "he does
not love her soulfully."
