One Hundred Years and Over.

Ravens, according to several au-
thentic records of these birds in
France, given by Button, have consid-
erably outlined the century mark
The crow is said by Mont. beillard
to exceed the century. Shakespeare
calls this bird "the trebled-dated
crow" evidently his allusion to his
age being reckoned by three figures.
A parrot was brought from Italy
to France in 1888, and Professor
Schulze. of Gottingen, says that to
his certain knowledge the bird was
alive in 1743, and was, therefore, 10
years old.
A swan has lived.mor than a CEN
fury according to Bacon. In Alkinar,
in Holland, swan died in 1872, with
collar on its neck dated 1873.
A hawk was brounght from the Cap
of Good Hope to England in 1892, that
when captured had golden collar on
it saying that the bird belonged to
James /. and dated 1910, which would
make the bird 1s2 years old.
Pike are described by Button, one
as 100, and another as 1875, years old.
Carp are long-lived Gesslier says
that one lived in a pool in the Pala
tine more than a century
The elephant was chosne by the
early Romans as the symbol of eter-
nifty. According to Philostratus, the
ancients credited the elephant with
a life of 400 years. Blumenback says,
1T is probable that the elephant will
live 200 years" Tavernier deems the
accounts received from elephant keep
ers in India as reliable, that reports
the sagacious creatures having been
in captivity from 100 to 100 years.
A whales years can not be accu-
rately ascertained. But il judgment
be made by the size and number OF
the laminae of whalebone that are be-
lieved to increase yearly, then some
whales have certainly lived from 300
to 400 years. Curvier and other Frenc
came to the conclusion
that the great whale that were exhib-
tied in Trafalgar Square in London,
in 1881, and that attracted thousands
of visitors from the continent, was
most surely from 900 to LOO years old.

In Fair Japan.

Miss Marie G. Slopes went to Japan
with a definite object. Although young

year in exploring coal mines and col
lecting fossils, with which she combin

ropean residents, dancing and dinir g

She came into touch with every
class, from the officials at Toxic, to
peasants in wild places where no Eu-
ropean woman had ever been seen.
And she has written "A Journal from

The Folly in Iowa

In Iowa the politicians have made
the most fuss over the so-called reign
of higher prices. Yet Of all the peo-
pie, Iowa people have been most ben
Gifted. Three-fourths of the people o
this state are farmers and the other
one-fourth are more or less directly
interested in farming.
All the products of the farm have
brought high prices. Corn,50 cents a
bushel; and wheat a dollar bushel;
cattle, eight cents pound, and hogs
nine cents a pound and horses 'out
of sight" During these years the
farmers have been able to sell any
thing they had at good prices. They
have prospered as never before. They
have paid off mortgages and they have
bought automobiles. For the first
time in the history of the state they
have verify come into their own.
At the same time they have bought
more sugar for dollar,more kerosene
for a quarter, and fence wire has been
cheap. They have been buying shoes
at practically the same prices and they
can get just as good suit of cloth
ing Off $12 or $40 as ever they bought
if anything better made.
But the politicians have ranted
against these conditions and ranted
until they have almost brought things
to a halt. These politicians have
neither understood the people, nor
have they tried to serve their inter-
ests-they have simply laid what they
believed were the foundations for
their own continuance in office.
But If the politicians succeed, the
farmers will find that they will again
be selling everything for less, while
the things they buy will not vary
much.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

Briefly says the Journal of Physiolol
fcal Therapeutics, it amounts to this
Worry injuries beyond repair certain
cells of the brain and the brain being
the nutritive center of the body, the
other organs become gradually injur,
ed and when some diseases of these
organs or a combination of them arise
death finally ensues.
Thus worry kills. Insidiously like
many other diseases II creeps upon
the brain in the form of single con-
slant, never-lost idea; and as a drop
ping of water over a perod of years
will wear a groove in the stone so
does worry gradually imperceptibly
and no less surely, destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest, which are
so to speak the commanding officers
of mental power, health and motion.
Worry to make the theory still
stronger is an irritant at certain
points which produces little harm if
1t comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worriment the brain can
cope with but the iteration and the re
iteration of one idea of a disquieting
sort the cells of the brain are not
proof against.
1t is as if the skull were laid bare
and the surface of the brain struck
lightly with a hammer every few Sec
onds with mechanical precision, with
nerve a sign of a stop or the failure
of stroke. Just maddening thought
that will not be done away with,
strike or fall upon certain nerve cells,
never ceasing, diminishing the yitali-

so minute that they can be seen only

Must Pay Up.

Newspapers over the entire country
have been recently givne to understand
that Uncle Sans post office depart
ment meant business about two years
ago when it said that all subscriptions
in future must not be allowed to be
in arrears over three months. News
papers in Illinois are now being called
on by the postal officials to send
them "a sworn list of their subscrib-
ers indicating how many mail sub
scribers in arrears over three months.
Not only have some received one
notice, but a succession OF them, fol-
low up to insure the list being put
in shape, and for the first time the

The Boy Knew.

DR.. j. NJ. Buckley, the well-known
editor and divine, addressing a New
York City Sunday school, related an
incident that greatly interested the chill
dren. He told of meeting a ragged
hungry-looking little girl in the street
on a wintry day, and when he question
ed her she recited a pitiful tale of a
sick mother and younger brothers and
sisters without food. After giving her
a silver dollar the good doctor follow
ed at a safe distance to see what she
would do with the money.
Now, children what do you suppos

that dollar?" said DIR. Buckley.

Up went the hands, and one child
after another ventured a guess, but
none proved correct. Finally little
boy whose appraised hand alone re-
NAMED was asked for his answer to
the question.
"A basket" he sang out.

A Japanese wedding always take
placeNin the sanctuary" which is to
be found in every japanese home
the "tokonoma," or elevated place of
honor. This Is decorated for the oc-
casion with symbolic articles, such as
pine, plum tree and bamboo, signify
ing long life, peace and honesty;
rice, always offered to the gods, and
the sake jugs from which the but
TEXTILES" (bridesmaids) pour out drink
for the happy couple.
Only ten persons are present at
the marriage-the bride and groom,
parents, the go-between and his wife
and two butterflies" The bride takes
her place near the bridegroom, but,
as BELTS her inferior state, on a low
er level. Her veil conceals her face
till the ceremony is completed.
Presently the broker" (the man
who has brought the couple together)
makes formal announcement of the
marriage, to the low-toned accompan-
iment of singers, without instrument
tai accompaniment in an adjoining
room.
Ordinarily the Japanese wedding
ceremony has neither religious nor
legal formality; it is an affair of the
family entirely. In former times,
however, the priests took large part
in the function, and there are in
dications of return to this custom.
In 1900, for instance, at the marriage
of the crown prince, solemn Shinto
service was held within the sanctua-
ny of the imperial palace. Usually,
however, says the Wide World Mag
azine, the wedding ceremony is SIM
ply farmal drinking of sake by bride
and bridegroom from the same cup.
This partaking Of the rice wine to-
gether is an act as solemn as drink
ing from the communion cup among
Christians.
Presently the butterflies" prepare
to fulfill their office, and ON bend
ed knee present the two-spouted cup
of sake to the months of the bride
and bridegroom alternately, this drink
ing from one cup signifying their
future unity in joy and sorrow. From
each of three tiny cups of different
sizes the bride and bridegroom each
take three sips. After the third cup
the "go-between" announces that the
ceremony is ended. "Orio" and
"Chrysanthemum" are now Mr.. and
Mrs. Tamura, and congratulations
and feasting are the order of the day.
The groom does not kiss his bride in
public; that, in japanese eyes,would
be unpardonably coarse and vulgar.
Removing her white silk veil, the
young wife rises from her seat be-
side the bridegroom and passes the
wine cup to the assembled friends.
Before the banquet she retires and
reappears in a different dress, repeat
ing this three or four times during
the dinner, if she comes from rich
home. After the bride and bride
groom have taken their places every
body present approaches,b bows to them
and offers congratulations. With each
guest the happy pair are supposed
to drink a cup Of wine, but this is
only pretence.
The wedding feast itself is splen-
did and costly affair, with rice serv-
ed in countless different ways, oyster
broth and many other elaborate dish
es, washed down with hot and cold
sake. But at last the guests take their
leave and the young couple are left
