LIVED IN MIRROR PALACE.
Prodigal Russian Who souand.raa q
Vast Fortune Il Sent to
Insane Asylum.

From Tomsk comes a curious history
of modern Narcisus. His name is Vlad.
tmir Yevdokimoff. the son Of one of the
richest merchants in Russia. After
spending millions of rubles in all sorts
of foolish ways he retired to Tomsk with
a considerable fortune in his hands. He
bought a wooded hill in the %neighbor-
hood and on the summit Of it built a
glass palace. One Of the largest Of the
rooms is = mirror hall, in which walls,
roof and floor are formed only OF mir
rors. In the middle Of this hall Yevdok-
imof had . throne erected which re-
volved on . pivot like a piano stool.
Here he woull sit for hours, turning
backward and forward and admirirg
himself in the mirrors. Gorgeous rot ;
were in a neighboring room. and in J,
course Of the day he would change 3
garments . score of times. His a.
miration Of himself in the mirrors was
sometimes varied by elabroate b; :
quets. to which only women were ~
vited, and which are said to have :e-
sembled the Thracian mysteries. T
we're attired as Bacchantes and he y :
sided. crowned with roses. In five -
he squandered 1000, 600 ruhlss and -
now in an asylum for the insane.

ADVANCEMENT IN JAPAN.
Great Step Forward Taken nv Fsma,.
subjects of the Mikado-More
Girls Attend School

Inc remarkable increase during
the last few years in the nun,hor 20
women employed in various branches
Oh commercial Life in Japan must be
regarded as a very significant sign
oA the times. Not content with the
occupations which have almost ex.
cluslvely belonged to females. thew
nave now invaded those fields which
nave hitherto been considered as be.
longing to the male sex.
The experiment made in the EN-.
ployment of women as clerks aad
Dookkeepers has been found satisfac-
tory, and we now find girls employed
by many of the firms and stores in
Tokyo and other large cities. The
employment Of women in these vari-
Gus directions will do much toward
emancipating the Japanese women,
who have until now been entirely de-
pendent on men for the shaping of
their destinies. 1t is only natural,
under such circumstances, that female
education should engage serious pub
lie attention. The number of girls
receiving a school education, it is
stated, is now more than eight times
the number of those at school ten
years ago. More remarkable are the
figures given by the Tokyo Educa-
tional society. Fifteen years ago the
percentage of females admitted to the
training school for teachers was less
than 20, as compared with the men,
but to-day the rate has been com
pletely reversed, the number of male
applicants being now about Is per
cent of the total! 1t is said that
women as teachers, are proving
themselves superior to men, and that
there is consequently more demand
for the former than the latter There
is no doubt that the employment OF
women in the various branches OF
business activity will steadily In
crease with the advance OF education
among them.

.,ond. George M. Cohan's cheerfully

George AIDE contributes some reflec-
t,ons on the name George, the sum Of
bic argument being that it's a grand
aid name for actor, author, manager
or agent.
Have you ever figured out why peo-
nile who wish to be emphatic say, BY
ceorge?" To swear by the Deity would
no profane. To swear by Oscar or
Herbert or Randolph would mean
nothing. George" has been adopted
as the most important and awe-inspir-
ing name that can be borrowed from
the ordinary human list.
From the original st. George, patron
saint OF England, who is shown in his
fayorite Autograph to be fighting the
syndicate, down to George Wilkes, the
great trotting stallion, the name of
George" has always been the trade
mark OF a live one. Every good Pull
man porter is named George. If, when
alighting at a one-night stand, you
insist upon being hauled by George"
you will invariably get an upholstered
hack, with the blanket neatly folded,
and not as much hay as you might
expect
George ILL., would have won If he
had not given away so much weight in
meeting the other George, adopted
stepfather of George Washington, Jr.
George is from the Greek, meaning
'husbandman" or farmer" my par
ents we're in right, but how about
George Marion, George Beane, George
Nash, George Considine and George
Game?
When you begin to count them, it is
wonderful how the Georges loom up.
There has been one George Francis
Train in the last century, and George
Alexander is to the English stage what
George Dixon was to another depart
ment of art in this. country.
When a woman wants to write I'M

in with the real Georges. Take the
three greatest-George Eliot, George
Sands and George Fleming.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.
With the passage by the house of
the Philippine tariff bill the coalition
of SO called insurgents in that body
meets a disastrous reverse. The eX-
treme high taft mem bers, backed by
the sugar and tobacco representatives,
were to have united with the oppo-
nents of the statehood bill to kill both
measures. Under pressure of public
opinion demanding: tariff deductions
on Philippine tobacco aud sugar the
insurrectionary statesmen failed to
hold their forces in line and the will
went through by vote of 358 to II.
The idea that to lower the duty OF
these commodities to % per cent OF
the Dingley rate would harm the
American producers was on its face too
prepostrous to be takeusseriously.
\ large number of the 25S affirmat-
I've votes were cast by Democrats, MIR.
Williams and the other party leaders
having decided to approve the bill on
the principle of accepting half loaf
and incidentally take the credit of
supporting a tariff reform measure. OF
the negative votes 81 were cast by Re-
publicans. Possibly a number of the
81 are still willing to join with the
Democrats in opposing, the statehood
bill but the defeat OF their plans up to
date is not likely to encourage them
in this undertaking. They have
already gone on record as opposing
their party on an important issue and
they can scarcely wish TO arouse furth-
er ..antagonism of this character.
What fate awaits the Philippine
bill at the hand of tine senate remains
to be seen. Optimists Will call to
mind that even the senate as now con-
stltuted is::camble of doing the right
thing at times, though it particularly
loves to lean and listen to the argu.
ments of ashigh tariff lobnv.
