PRODIGAL PEACE.

Return, o prodigal peace, return;
1t is for thee the nations yearn.
But there can be no lasting peace
Unless thou bringest full release.
Return, o prodigal peace, return;
No longer let fierce anger burn;
But quench no flame, nor suage the
heat
Till ruling monarchs make retreat.
Return, 0 prodigal peace, return;
Thy coming now we may discern.
But let there be of peace no herald
Till freedom reigns DER all the world

The Japanese officials here were ex

The first practical incandescent
lamp was the carbon filament lamp

though a platinum filament lamp was
experimental with much earlier. Fila

other metals were introduced. but none
of them equaled the efficiency of tung-

in 1912. Many other lamps were made

lamp, which is made in various large
sizes, and has become an efficient COM

There are some men who imagine
they fall desperately in love with some
! pretty young woman at first sight
They begin paying attention to her at
once, and propose marriage with I'M
due haste. If they are accepted by
the young woman, nothing will salts
fly them save that an early date be
set for the marriage. They pass ev-
cry evening at her home. They go
to their boarding house and write her
long letter before they cOnsign them
selves 70 slumber. They think of her
and nothing but her even to the neg
lect of their business pursuits.
This is the delirium of courtship. 1t
is quite the reverse from being sane
and sound. A young man of this sort
is sure that his girl is a veritable an
gel. daughter of the angels.
After marriage, such a man wakes
up with a rude start. He finds he is
welded to very human person. A
few faults are mingled with her many
virtues. He was SO desperately in
love with her that he did not notice
that she was willful and had q decided
temper. Even courtship should be set
about coolly and deliberately. One
should not look for faults in the other,
but one should be able to see them
when they crop out.
1t is q revelation to many a man to
see a girl whom he adored in her pref

There's generally a good reason for
peoples likes or. dislikes. Many won
der why well-seasoned bachelors have
preference for beauing girls in their
teens. 1T isn't so very strange when
you look right into it, Bachelors en-
JOY freedom from certain kind of
nagging while in such youthful society.
When man takes ii upon himself to
pay marked attention TO a woman OF
mature judgment-be she four and
twenty or still fair and forty-she is
anxious TO know if he means business.
She seldom loses an opportunity TO
turn any chance word into the subject
of matrimony. lie imagines he must
keep constantly hedging with her, be
ever alert and on his guard. lest he
be ingeniously led into proposing. In
the company of very young girl he
feels carefree. All she thinks of is
amusement for the time being. She
is in the best of spirits if she is taken
to theaters. balls, dinners or ball
games, with never thought of matri-
mony. She is young and can afford
not to bother her head about it, If
there is ever a hint of matrimony she
is quick TO declare that she doesn't in
tend to marry for years and years yet,
in fact, not until she has had her fun
out. OF course, he knows it will be
only question of a year or two before
she changes her tune. But the aver
age bachelor is only too pleased to let
it go at that.
The youthful, animated conversation
of the young girl lifts him out of the
rut in which he has been jogging along.
Her laughter and innocently expressed
thoughts warm his heart and his ma
ture. His faith in the sex is renewed.
She makes splendid companion for
his outings. If he is inclined for a
tramp of few miles, she is eager for
it. She has no terrors of pinching
shoes or fear of exhaustion from tight
ly laced coisets, the tell-tale signs of
the fact that Woman is getting on in
years The young s;rl delights 4.
horseback riding and can go just as
ldSl as IlG Cdlu. Lie lltc
horse. the better she enjoys the gal
lop. The older women he knows would
be 700 much afraid of their necks.
They are past that spirit OF youthful
daring. The young girl can attend the
game with him, and becomes even more
enthusiastic over it than he can. This
is added amusement for him. She
doesn't wear clothes that will spoil in
wind or weather. If sudden shower
comes up, she only laughs, declaring
she's neither sugar nor salt" He's
often had to scurry hither and thither
on such occasions to get a good con-
veyance for the older woman he was
escorting home a few blocks to save
her gown and feathers.
When it comes TO marrying, well,
that's quite another matter. The old
er. settled-down woman appeals to
him. So "all's well that ends well"
under Cupids directions.
