yapan,s Emprees Popular.

It Is doubtful If any royal consort IS
more loved by her people than is tho
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments betting one of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness OF The
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia tho empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men
for the soldiers honored by then
seemed to rally under peculiar men
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilizet
and used again for the simple reason
of their effect on the recovery Of the
soldiers.

Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with
Bummarily in old England. For in:
stance, the records of the Brewers
company show that ION Monday, July
80, 1922, Robert Chichele, the mayor of
London, sent for the masters and -
of the most worthy of our company to
appear at the Guildhall for selling dear
ale. After much dispute about the
price and quantity of malt, wherein
Whityngtone, the late mayor, declared
that the brewers had ridden into the
country and forestalled the malt, to
raise its price, they were convicted In
the penalty of $50 ($100), which OBJ
jecting to, the masters were ordered
to be kept in prison in the chamber

or find security for the payment

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN BOY.
He Has Improved Markedly OF Late,
Declares a Casual Observer.


II seems to me that the quality
of the boy now growing up in this
country is peculiarly fine. He is not
only less obstreperous and egotsucal,
but clearer and cleaner minded than
the lad of twenty years ago. His adj
vance physically will be manifest to
anyone who will compare the figures
in a class photograph of to-day with
those of yesterday. He is taller,
straighter, better featured, finer
haired, handsomer aud more like a
thoroughbred in every way, writes
George Harvey in the North Ameri-
can Review.
The exercise to which much of this
Improvement is attributable may be
no more jealous, but it seems to be
less spasmodic. more consistent and
better adapted to its true purpose.
AS an inevitable sequence, his habits
Have become more regular, improving
in turn his manners.
Altogether he has become attractive,
partially in what he might resent
being called a girlish sense, as the
effect of his greater delicacy, but
chiefly in purely masculine way,
since in point of reality he was never
before so manly or so scrupulous Of
his personal honor.
His mother is the one chiefly re-
sponsible for this happy evolution
Thirty years ago her prototype donned
q cap and became frankly middle
aged at marriage. From that day the
principal feature of her personal APP
pearance-her figure-ceased to inter-
est her especially, and at forty she
was satisfactory to a degree as a
mother, but utterly worthless as a
comrade and as a helper. To-day at
forty-five she is her daughters equal
in appearance, and usually, we be-
lieve, her superior in the possession of
that mysterious, indefnable, yet pc
culiarly fascinating quality known as
charm" She has not only main
tanned, but enhanced, her attractive
ness by growing with, as well as for,
her children.
1t is this daily association from
babyhood with her to whom instinct
accords earliest reverence that has
refined the boy. The rather may have
been no less congenial as comrade,
but circumstances have minimized in
a comparative sense his helpfulness
as a friend Himself the product OF
a generation less carefully trained
and possessing the self-satisfaction OF
personal success, he Is unable to per
ceive the desirability of a change in
method tending to broaden develop
ment. Hence his patronizing atti
tude, his disposition to continue tc
treat as a child the son rapidly APP
preaching manhood.
1t is the mother, persfsting in being
girl, who is glad to be regarded ant
treated by the boy as an intellectual
equal. To her, therefore, belongs the
credit of a transformation which we
believe to be clearly perceivable, ant
which BODIES the greatest good to thi!
vast American organism which sooI
will require the finest mental ant
moral fiber yet demanded by civiliza
ton.

The Eye Game.

Captivating shades are coming in"
with the liking for candle light at din
ner parties. One of the prettiest
shades is of white satin, embroidered
with silver thread. Candleshade
games will be popular. One is called
the "eye game" Every shade bears
a reproduction of the eye of a dis
tinguished man or woman, painted on
mica, which lights up. Pencils and
cards are passed around at desert,
and guesses as to the owners of the
original eyes are written down. The
diner who makes the largest number
of correct guesses gets a prize.

Wife psssr,ion Alarmo.

So many Cincinnati wives have been
deserted by their husbands of late that
the city council has taken steps to-
ward putting a check on such run.
Always 1t has been found that mort
gage loan sharks are contributing fac.
tors in a great many cases. A mans
ability to mortgage his furniture with
out the knowledge of his wife is a
strong temptation to husbands OF weak
will. An ordinance has been intro
duced making such mortgage of no
avail unless they bear the signature OF
both husband and wife.

What TubercuIin Is.

Tuberculin is the result of many,
experiments to obtain a curative anti
toxin, or serum, for tuberculosis. 1t is
a product of the growth of the tuber-
lie organism in artificial cultures, says
Farming, but it is perfectly harmless
product when properly used. 1t will
neither cure nor cause the disease to
spread in an affected animal; neither
will it injure a healthy one in any
way. In skilled hands it is almost in
fallible and with ordinary judgment
the errors are only a few per cent. In
Pennsylvania 1000 animals that had
given characteristic reactions were
slaughtered and examined and the
presence of the disease was demon
strated in all but eight.

A BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used in Mexican Struo'
ture for Pedestrians and Teams.

AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world it may be
inferred that this tropical material
is not very extensively employed in
the construction of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly a rarity, a curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that mate
rial. This structure is located in the
department of Palenque, state of Chi.
apas, republic of Mexico This dis
trict lies in the extreme southwestern
part of Mexico, near the boundary line
of Guatemala.

ed entirely of that valuable wood,
except some iron braces and nails that
are necessary. The bridge spans the
Rio Michol and its total length. in
GLIDING approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width is 10 feet. 1t is used
by beth teams and pedestrians and.
though somewhat rude and primitive
in construction, it is very substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were heTn and

In that section Of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
lions, ana mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the trop-

pepew Writes "reminiscences.

While Senator Chauncey M. Depew
was enjoying his long rest at Ardsley-
on-the-Hudson he did good deal Of
work on his "reminiscences. He is not
sure that they will ever be published,
his idea being that they might be of
interest to his son. In his fifty years
of public life Mr.. Depew has known

to be exceedingly readable.

One noticeable feature in connec

the fact that the professional pol
iticians and wire pullers" are un-
able ro forecast with any degree of
certainty the result Of the primary
election on this Goth day of April
This fact alone furnishes the best
evidences that the new law, al
though perhaps defective in parts,
has served its purpose, The law
was aimed at boss rule". The
aim and purpose of its champions
was to take from the hands of the
professional politician the power of
making the nominations for politi-
cal office and placing that power
in the hands of the people. The
most ardent supporters of the law
could not expect it to accomplish
it's entire purpose but they do be-
Iieve that it will prove valueable
check to the power and prestige of
"bossism".

The story relates. TO the researches in

Jekyll, who claims that in man there are
two physical natures and. that by taking
certain drug which he discovers, all
good in man would vanish and the body
would assume hdeous shape In keeping
with the spirit Of evil within. To prove
this theory, he experiments upon himself,
and the transformation actually occurs;
and instead OF the lovable. kind-hearted
DR.. Jekyll, he becomes the horrible. dis
torted, murderous. Hyde He tried
