Swan Too lonq.

The attorneys for the prosecution and defense had been allowed fifteen min utes each to argue the case. The at torney for the defense had commenced his argument with an allusion to the swimming hole of his boyhood days. He told in fowery oratory of the balmy air, the singing birds. the joy of youth, the delights of the cool water And in the midst of it he was interrupted by the drawling voice of the judge. Come out, Chawncey." he said, "and put on your clothes. Your fifteen minutes are uD"

Willing Himself Well.

An interesting example of man willing himself we'll is that of "Qrigi- naP' Walker. The thing was the work of moment. He had been reading Ciceros "De Oratore," and some pas, sage suggested to him the expediency of making the improvement of his health his study. "I rose from my book" he writes.

In pursu- ance of my resolution tried many ex- tremes. was guilty of many absurdities and committed many errors amid the rcmonstrances and ridicule of those around me. persevered, neverthe- less. and it is now. believe. full six teen years since have had any medi- cal advice or taken any medicine or anything whatever by way of medi cine" e."--London Chronicle.

ROYAL ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN.
A Member of the Imperial Family Can
 Die Only In Tokyo.


 Surely there never was q more grim journey made than that of the dow ager empress of Japan when she came for the last time to Tokyo.
 She had died in her palace in the country. But the Japanese hold that q member of the imperial family can die nowhere except in Tokyo. There fore the dead empress, theoretically still alive, journeyed from her country place to the palace in Tokyo with all the ceremonial that attended her move ments when living.
 She travelled in the royal railway car and was driven through the streets to the palace in a court carriage with the blinds closely drawn. The minis ters and high state officials who greet ed her on her past arrivals in the capi- tai were at the station as usual and showed in no way that on this occa. sion they were meeting the corpse of the empress.
 Troops lined the streets and present ed arms as she passed. Only the great crowds in the streets, standing in si- lence instead of loudly cheering, be- trayed the fact that the imperial car riage contained dead woman.-New York Sun.

MAJORITY TYRANNY.
It's Despotic Sway, For Instance, In the
 Matter of Dress.

Matter of Dress.
 The tyranny of majorties is not con- fined to politics. It invades all fields, demands obedience from all classes and brooks defiance of none.
 Women tolerate a certain style of garment because they imagine q ma jority of womankind at the moment is demanding it. They obediently follow suit for fear of exciting attention or unfavorable comment.
 Men and women are bound too much by others opinions. Society, of course, is built on conventions. But conven tions sometimes become tyrannical One should know when to follow their dictates and when to ignore them. In the matter of dress, for instance, why should any one endure style he de- tests merely because the majority at the moment is wearing 1t? Why should not a long necked man wear tall collar, if he prefers, it, even though it does cause pain to the chins of all sympathetic observers?
 Frankly the question is without an answer. Perhaps people tolerate ma jority tyranny in such matters merely because they are accustomed to it. A caged animal presumably knows noth ing of freedom until he has tasted it. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BRAZIL'S FINE CAPITAL.
Rio dc Janeiro Is Beautiful City, With
 No Poor Quarter,

No Poor Quarter.
 '"rhere are some cities very beautiful from a distance, but noisome and shab. by when once they are entered. Rio de Janeiro. on the contrary, is beau tiful when seen from afar and is delightful on intimate acquaintance. The streets are clean. The main thorOughfares are broad, and no oth, CT city hos so many miles of smooth asphalted streets. Automobiles swarm and trolleys abound The public build ings are handsome, the private build ings very picturesque and in northern eyes," writes Theodore Roosevelt in the Outlook, possess most attractive foreign flavor. The water supply is ample and not only healthful, but de licious. The sanitation is excellent. For over half the year the climate is delightful. and during the remaining months there is close at hand A cool mountain retreat
 Altogether it is difficult to write of this city of over million people with out expressing astonishment that both its beauty and It's greatness are not more widely understood.
 "The condition of the poorer people is, l am assured and as l thoroughly believe, far removed from the misery of the slum dwellers in the great cities of the northern hemisphere. There is no especial quarter for the poor, noth- ing in the nature of slum district. and there is much effort of one kind and another to provide decent living conditions for the poorest"
