Women played an important part in
the early history Of Japan. To wo-
man, the Empress Jlngu, belongs the
glory of the first conquest made by
Japan, that of Korea, A. D. POI.
Dressed as a man, she led her feet
over the unknown waters, across which
she alone believed country lay to the
westward. "If we succeed" she said
to her chiefs, ''the glory will all be
yours. will be responsible for the
infamy Of possible defeat" The Ko-
reans laid their wealth at the feet Of
the conquerors, and the king swore
that so long as the stars shODe and was
ter ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan. This achievement
of the empress gave rise to the boast
of the japanese, 1.-THE arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas" But the most
important fruit, of her victory was the
introduction of Buddhism from Korea,
as well as Asiatic art, science, medi-
cine and literature. Jingu, however,
was never actually proclaimed head of
the empire. The first female ruler was
| Suiko, and since her time eight en-
presses have governed Japan, some Of
them with great wisdom.

Par.imonx Means Health.

did you ever notice. said a Iron-
inent physical culture teacher of sew
York, that parsimonious people al
most always enjoy good health and
long life? Eating has a great deal to do
with this. We learn that one wealthy
person lunches always on cup of tea
and q doughnut; that the great stand
by Of another was apples
lit is not only that they en-. frugal
" that accounts for their excellent
health, but that there is so much reg
Warity in their diet. The first thing
the economical person does, as a rule
Is to reduce living to a system. He
studies how he can subsist best for the
least money, and then allows himself
very little variety from the regular or
der of things.
Regularity of diet means great
saving of time and money in his eyes
and, whether he knows it or not, in
adopting a rule of eating there is moth

fleet of great armored ships starts for
the Pacific. California, Oregon, and
Washington have a coast line which is
our coast line just as emphatically as
the coast line of New York and Maine,
of Louisiana and Texas. Our fleet is
going to it's own home waters in the
Pacific, and after stay there it will
return to its own home waters in the

officer to learn his duties is at sea, by
performing them, and only by actually
putting through a voyage of this ma.

exactly what is necessary for us to

QUESTIONING Is Not Conversation.


The man who imagines that the art
of conversation consists in asking Ques-
tons spoils conversation as much as
the man who never asks any. People
Of this description will interrupt a
speaker as frequently as they do in the
French chamber and run anxiously
from subject to subject with their inter
rogatories, like a cackllng hen that Is
going to lay an egg. Horace Walpole,
when exiled at Houghton, bemoans the
existence of such pest in the person
Of an aunt. Writing to his friend Sir
Horace Mann, he says: II have an aunt
here, family piece of goods, an old
remnant Of inquIsitive hospitality and
economy. She wore me so down by
day and night with interrogations that
dreamed all night she was at my ear
with a who's, why's. when's and what's
till at last in my very sleep cried out,
For heavens sake, madam, ask me no
more questions
DR.. Johnson's dislike of being ques-
toned is well known, and he gives the
classic refutation of the habit in his
own inimitable style: "Sir, questioning
is not the mode of conversation among
gentlemen. 1t is assuming superior.

question man concerning himself

Chose Crown From Cannon.

Chose Grown From Cannon.
Neither King Carol of Roumania nor
his queen, known in the world of lit
erature as Carmen Sylvia, had any de-
sire for regal honors, and when the as
sassination of Gar Alexander in 1881
forced them OH Roumania's unhappy
throne they went protestingly. Carol
finally consented to be king, but de-
clared he would never sit upon a
throne or wear crown.
The chamber and senate at Bucha-
rest insisted, declaring the people
wanted and had right to expect sym
bols of royalty. Carol protested that
a coronation ceremony would make
himself and his wife ridiculous, like
actors in play" but was forced to
field and get himself crown.
But no headgear of silks and pre-
cious stones for him. He sent to the
arsenal for one of the cannons cap
tured from the Turks, ordered that II
be melted down and from its steel q
crown be made, "in remembrance of
the brave Roumanian blood shed for
liberty" And with this he was
crowned.
Carmen sylvia said of her husbands
crown. "No crown, surely, ever spoke
as this one spoke in days gone by,
when it roared and Numbered night
and day and rocked with smoke and
fiame."-New York Times.

The Genius of Ancient Greece.

An authority on old Greek history
says, and In my opinion rightly, that
the average intelligence of the assem-
bled Athenian citizens was higher than
that of our house of commons No
doubt the Athenian public was by no
means so learned as we moderns are.
They were ignorant of many sciences,
of much history-in short, of a thou
sand results Of civilization-but in civ
lliZation itself, in mental power, in
quickness of comprehension, in correct
ness Of taste, in accuracy of judgment,
no modern nation. however well in
structed, has been able to equal by la
bored requirements the Unborn genius
of the Greeks.-Mahaffy's "Sociu life

them all at Memphis. The Fowler
had 100 people and was not trimmed
for racing. A side-wheeier lige the
Alton is better in shoal water than a
stern wheeler and In going over the
shoals above Memphis, that are about
seven miles long, the Alton passed the
Fowler. Che was about 200 yards
ahead Oh the Palueah racer when
