A Jap's Many Names.

Every European child can answer
the question, What is your name?"
without hesitation unless he is dumb,
but the japanese boy must think
little to make sure, for at various
periods of his life be is called by diff
ferent names. He receives his first.
when he is just month old. Tren
three different names are written on
three slips of paper and thrown into
the air in the temple while prayers
are addressed to the family diety.
That which falls first to the ground
bears the name the child is called till
ne is three years old. At fifteen the
Japanese boy receives a new name in
honor of his coming of age. His name
is changed again on the occasion of
his marriage and on any, advance in
his position.

DiscoverX Of Wine.

The grape, whose purple food man
for century after century has convert
ed into wine, is a Persian by birth,
It's cradle was on the sunny hills to
the south of the Caspian Sea, and
there the ancients ate It and enjoyed
its acid taste. The men of Caubul
ground it to a dry powder and ate it
with relish, half as a medicine, half
because they liked IL.
And then those dayR went by, and
we hear of the renowned grapes OF
Palestine, which grew in immense
clusters and weighed fifteen pounds to
the bunch. Noah planted the vine i'm
mediately after the Deluge; the book
of Genesis mentions bread and wine;
and the lsraelites complained that
Moses and Aaron had brought them
out of Egypt into a dry and barren
land where there were neither figs nor
vines.
From the earliest times the evil en-
ects of wine have been reported, The
sin of Lot Is supposed to have been
committed under the influence of wine,
and the evil power of the vine is well
illustrated by the story of the monk
to whom Satan offered choice OF
three sins, one of which was drunken
ness. The poor monk chose this, and
when he was drunk committed the
other two.

The whole population of Marion is
now interested In the contest and from
now on until July 20 at s p. IN. there
will be the hottest time seen here in a
contest In many years. The whole
city will be canvossed by the candI-
dates and their friends and The Mir
TOR will be on everyDody's tongue.
Don't try any excuses or side-step-
ping, or say your money is all tied
up in the bank, but dig for years
subseription-and do It with eager
ness and courtesy. It's the best money
you ever had chance to invest. You
don't need to wait to be called on
just come or send to The Mirror Of
flee and get the voting certificate
and present 1t TO your favorite ON
testant. A remarkable thing about
this contest Is that ever active candi-
date Is confident and determined to
stick and work until the last hour.
They are all from the Ozarks, ana
the judges who count the votes and
announce the results are the only ones
TO "show them"
The vote cast has no bearing on
the final result. Candidates way down
on the lists may prove the winners.
The Contest Editor has seen this hap
pen often. The public Is at Its old
game of trying to name the win
ners from the results Of every big
voting day. Has 1t ever occurred to
you that the wise players are not
showing their cards until compelled
10? Don't you worry over who Is in
the lead now. but try and be there
yourself at the final count. You have
just as many friends and just as good
chance TO win as any candidate Pay
no attention TO rumors or hot air
stories. just attend to your own cam
paign and get all the votes possible.
While the X. of p. has made the
best showing to date, don't get the
idea that they have that plano
"cinched" by any means. That piano
Is not going begging. Several strong
fighting organizations have room In
their lodges for Il, and they are 60

eLuNpsRs OF AUTHORS.
Some Of Their Readers Arc Better
Posted Than Themselves.

That writers of books are painstak-
ing and careful in most of the more
important details of their stories may
be taken for granted, for one reason.
because it is only natural that they
should, and for another because their
shrewd publishers are ever taking ad-
vantage Of opportunities to enlighten
the public at the time-often years,
quite commonly months-which some
author has taken to certify certain
facts upon which the story may DO
based. This, after all, is only naIu-
raj condition, for such care and re-
search is but a part of the frameworK
about which form and substance is to
grow But If they are careful in what
they consider the essentials OF their
story, they are all too often careless
of details about which even some OF
their most unworldly readers are bet
ter posted than themselves,
Take Kipling for instance. There
are many grievous sins of this nature
for which he has to answer There
is that exquisite story, The Drums
Of the Fore and Aft" He has hardly
got his story well started before the
sentence occurs: And gave orders
that the bandmaster should keep the
drums in better discipline" What has
che bandmaster got TO do with the
drums? or course he meant to say the
druln-major, or to be still more cor
rect, the ergeant-drummer, since
drum-majors officially - have Deen
abolished these many years. A little
further on he makes the Gurwhas come
pouring over the heights at the double
to the regimental quick STEP A feat
which no soldier could do as any
son OF Mars will promptly tell you. In
The Courting of Dinah Shad," there
occurs the passage, Your - your
blooming cheek, sez she, duckin' her
little head down on my sash--I was
on duty for the day-an' whimperin'
like sorrowful angel"
Now what is a lance-corporal doing

The sun and the moon are two
great stumbling blocks to many a
noted writer. Mrs. Humphrey Ward
openly acknowledges her Ignorance OF
| the moons phrases, and that she con-
suits Miss Ward on all astronomical
reference. Kingsley made one of his
| heroes row out into the Eeastern
Ocean after the setting sun. And an
other of this writer's errors occurs IN
"Alton Locke" where he says, "They
! rowed her in across the rolnng foam
| The cruel, crawling foam" "The foam
is not cruel, neither does 1t crawl,
as Ruskin severely commented in one
