MIKADO'S BILL OF FARE

The Japanese Emperor's yearly ex-
pense of living it limited. For this pur-
pose he draws S3,000,OOO from the ma
tional treasury. His personal wealth Is
not to be spent on his own living, so
that $4,000, 900 is really his salary as
manager Of the country. He is required
to pay out of it some thousand en-
ployes.
The Emperors daily fare is Japa-
nese. He is perfectly satisfied for break
fast with q bowl of bean soup and a
few other dishes. But his dinner usu
ally appears in splendid style. in some
twenty courses, although he always de-
nounces it as a useless extravaganza.
When any official feast is held-the
cherry blossom viewing party at the
Kloshikawa botanical garden or the
chrysanthemum party at the Akasaka
palace, for instance-he will not spare
any expense in preparing an elegant
European banquet.
The Empress is the manager on such
an occasion. She is a noted economist.
She always gives hint to her court
ladies and the wives of the Ministers
how to arrange their dresses and how
to save expense

REAL SELf-CONTROL.

To most people self-control means
the control of appearances, and not the
control of realities. This is a radical
mistake and must be corrected if we
are to get a clear idea of self-control
and If we are to make a fair start in
acquiring it as permanent habit.
If man is ugly to me and / want to
knock him down, and refrain from do
ing so simply because it would not ap-
pear we'll and is not the habit of the
people about me, my desire to knock
him down is still part of myself, and
1 have not controlled myself until 1 am
absolutely free from that interior de-
sire. So long as / am in hatred to an
other l am in bondage to my hatred,
and If, for the sake of appearances,
do not act or speak from it, 1 am none
the less at its mercy, and it will find an
outlet wherever it can do so without
debasing me in the eyes of other men
more willing than / am to be debased.
My selfish desire to injure the man
hate is counterbalanced by my selfish
desire to stand we'll in the eyes of other
men. There can be no true self-oontrol
so long as either form of selfishness
dominates my actions. The control of
appearances is merely outward repres-
sion, and a very common instance of
this may be observed in the effort to
control laugh.--Annie Payson Call, in
I.eslie's Magazine

OLD LOVE CAN BE 0UTGR0NN
Advice to Young Girl Menaced by Attentions
of Married Man.
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE

, can protect from himself the man
whom she loves. She must, no matter
how difficult 1t is, cut short the friend
ship which means for both a constant
temptation.
/ would be slow to trust one who
could forget marriage vow which he
had assumed of his own free will #
he is false once he will be false twice.
And 1t is we'll to bear in mind that
while a man risks little by the love he
gives a woman, girl, in such case as
this, has everything to lose
Think also Of the other woman How
would it seem to you, if you were she,
to have your husband stolen from you
Think of the shame you would feel
Think how your pride would be broken.
Think what an agony of bereavement
you would suffer. A woman can do
no deeper injury than to take another
woman's husband from her.
But there is another wrong, equally
deep. which she may do when she COM
mits the first one. The girl who elopes
with man whom she cannot marry
at once, and possibly never, ruins not
only her own good name. and his repu-
tation, but also she wrongs, beyond
atonement, the little children who may
come to her.
/ would not advise this girl to marry
another man who loves her, and TO
whom her word is plighted. unless he
can take her to some place far away
where she will never again see the mar
ried man who has disturbed her peace
of mind, to place where he and she
can begin together an absolutely new
life, with no harmful associations of
the old one to spoil their chance Of
welded contentment. But first she
must learn to love him little, and to
put his happiness before her own.
1t is not impossible to outgrow an old
love, particularly if it Is one that is
unworthy. An honest. quiet affection
outweighs a guilty passion every time
in the scale of human happiness. And
1 believe with a conviction which
amounts to faith, that there is no senti-
ment in the world more beautiful and
good than the one which inspires
wife and husband who are truly help
mates, and who are working together
to provide for their little children in
the present, and to insure their welfare
in the future

TO THE POINT.

For weeks the kindergarten had been
deluged with nature verses, and the
process of absorption was far ad-
vanced. Sufficiently to admit of little
squeezing with results, thought the
teacher.
Now, children" she said II want
you each to bring in a little verse that
you have made yourselves about the
buds or the trees, or the flowers, or
anything that pleases YOU
Various specimens were produced
next day, but the gem of the collec-
ton was little May Flynn's. With ap-
propriate gestures she recited:
See the pretty gold fish swimming in
the globel
See the pretty robin singing in the
tree,
Who teached these two to fly to-
gether?
Who stucked the fur upon their
breasts?
Twas God. Twas God He done it,

COOKED QUOTATIONS.

A cook in the country is worth two
in the intelligence Office
Cooks are not always what they
seem.
A commuter and his cook are soon
parted.
The pan is mightier than the sword.
Money makes the cook go.
A mans house is a cooks mansion.
Cooks never strike twice in the same
place.
Wives rush in where cooks fear to
tread
Distance does not lend enchantment
to the cook.
Charity begins at home-provided
you give her the proper inducements.
All things come to him who waits
except cooks.-New York Sun.

4 HAVE been asked for advice by
l young girl who is in love with a
married man who has told her that
! he loves her better than he does his
wife. Her love has gained such a
hold upon her mind and heart, she
writes, that she is bewildered, and does
not know what she ought to do.
If what I am about to say seems hard
to her, l hope that she will remember
that nevertheless 1 speak as one sister
might speak to another, with sympathy
and tenderness, and with great de-
sire to save her from the suffering
which comes of dishonor and remorse.
There is only one way that girl so
situated can keep her self-respect. and

SOCIALISM-W. NJ, Santa Rosa, Cal.
Socialism is a term denoting a class OF
opinions opposed to the present and
historical organization of society and
seeking to introduce a new distribution
of property and labor, in which organ
lied cooperation, rather than competi-
tiOn, should be the dominating principle,
under the conviction that the happiness
Of the race. and especially of the
classes without capital, would be pro-
cured or greatly advanced thereby
Communism is term to designate
state of things in which no separate
rights of property exist, all property
and substance being held in common;
communism designates one class of the
arrangement by which certain theor-
lists have proposed to dispense with
those laws of social and political ecOnO-
my which are supposed to keep society
together through the influence Of the
domestic affection and the spirit OF
competition, and substitute in their
stead a set of artificial rules for the
government of human society. The
word socialist has generally been ap-
piled to those who only propose to in
terfere with labor by abolishing COM
petition in wages. leaving men to work
under the influence of public spirit, and
making an equal division of the pro-
duce.

EARLY ARRIVALS.
PORTLAND HOTELS ARE AL

NUMBER OF GUESTS.
Probabilities for Heavy Patronage at
Summer Places this Year.

Probabilities for Heavy Patronage at
Summer Places this Year.
Railroad travel is heavy on the Bos-
ton and Maine and Maine Central
railroads. and a visit to the Union
station some days will show the dense
crowds of summer people who are al
ready thronging to Maine resorts.
Their arrival so early In the season
may well be taken as sure sign OF
the realization of the general prediction
that the summer places will be heavily
patronized this year and to a much
greater extent than in the past sea-
sons.
Every boat and train brings a large
number of New York and Philadelphia
people who are on their way to resorts
near or far from Portland. All the
Portland hotels are getting a good
share OF transients who are either TO
remain about Portland or TO depart
from there as soon as possible for sea-
shore resorts. Many of these are as
matter of fact only waiting for the
resort hotels TO open and are biding
their time in Portland until they can
be accommodated at the summer
hotels This is good strong argu-
ment in favor of early opening IL the
weather will possibly warrant it.
