CELlBATES IN LARGE NUMBER
Seventeen Millions Of Class in United
States, Many Being Inferior to
Married People.

"There are 100000 celibates in the
United States, according to a state
ment which has been going the rounds
of the press, after originating In
magazine article on the sex question.
says the Journal Of Heredity. EXAM
nation of the census schedules for
1910 indicates that this figure includes
All males over twenty and all females
over fifteen.
"a calculation based on such age
limits is misleading, but the actual
facts are quite striking enough. Per-
sons thirty-five years of age or over
are relatively unlikely to marry. and
it seems fair to base computations on
that age. They show, then, that there
are nearly 100000 unmarried men in
The population. and about 1,25O.OOO I'M
married women. There are about l.
100000 unmarried women between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-f0ur,
and considerable part of these are
certain never to marry.
"rhe celibacy of these millions is,
from eugenic point of view, not
wholly to be deplored. While the num-
her includes many potential fathers
and mothers of a desirable character,
it is probable that, on the whole, these
lifelong celibates are eugenically infe-
rior to the married population"

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST C0LoRs
Eye Is Especially Sensitive to Two
Kinds Of Perceptions, Light and
Color Predominatinq.

In reply to an inquiry why are
ghosts always seen clothed in white, a
scientist states.
This is easily accounted for. As
there have been no ghosts during his
tOrical times, we must assume that in
all cases where ghosts have been act
ually seen we have to do with mere
Authorizations caused by fever or some
other disorders of the observer, where,
therefore. the organ of sense, and par
ticularly the eyes. registered impress
sions of objects that had no CORE
spending external existence. Accord
ing to the minute descriptions Of such
apparitions given by patients to their
physicians, the ghosts. with rare ex-
ceptions, were "clad in white" Now.
our eye is sensitive to two kinds OF
perceptions, viz, light and color. In
this case, where no definite co?or was
perceived, the hallucination, in which
,nly the organs of the eye sensitive
TO light are affected, is declared to be
white.
Still, there are also colOred appari-
lions of ghosts; nay, we can introduce
into the body substances calculated to
impair our sense of color. Thus the
lmmOderate use of hashish produces
violent visions; Of alcohol. blue ones;
Of atropin and skopolamin. red ones.
Quinine and too much tobacco like
wise produce red visions, while sail
cylic acid, digitalin and phenacetin
cause light yellow sensations. The in
halation Of carbonic oxide, and snake
bite, too, are said to be followed by
tight yellow. sensations Of sight.

NOTHING WASTED ~ CHINESE
Fiowery Kingdoms Farmers Even Ot''
lie the Prolific Weeds for Fer
tilizer and Fuel.

Nothing goes to waste on the CHI
nese farm-not, even the weeds. Ac-
cording to the farmers ideas, there
are good weeds and bad weeds, states
q writer. The good weeds are put
::.to compost heaps and return fertlii-
2.l,ion to the soil. Tie coarse weeds
with woody stems which will not cas-
ily rot are cut down and allowed 10
dry until the son Of the family mas
time to rake them up for use as winter
fuel.
Nowhere as in China do the deaG
ro,, the living, Millions of graves are
scattered over the fields, their ioca-
siOn directed by the complicated rules
If feng shut. In some sections OF the
country more than one-siXth OF the I'LL
liable area is covered with graves OF
eslinable but now useless ancestors
and sometimes when young man
falls heir to farm he t1nds that It IL
u farm full of graves, and his biggest
crop is a crop Of duty to dead anu
half-fOrgotten ancestors.
Chinese women didn't wait for the
outbreak Of war to put on trousers
and volunteer for work in the fields.
They have been wearing trousers for
many centuries and for many more
they have been helping the beans anu
potatoes to do their bit for their
country. The Chinese sages have had
!. great deal to say about the inferior
j.y of woman, but when it comes 70
digging in the fields the Chinese woI.-
IN is equal to any man.

LEGAL Witticis.ns.

Staries from the law courts are apt
to he good, legal wit being noted foi
It's dsyness. But this story claims nc
particular E3enit. except as showing
the usefulness Of ready wit, observes
the Christian Science Monitor. The
counsel for the plaintiff was delivering
an impasstoned address. He was
somewhat weighty in person, and hap
pened to be leaning on very Old
chair. In the middle OF the torrent OF
eloquence, the chair gave way and the
barrister lay on the floor In the midst
of the wreckage. He got up and, I'M
perturbed, pointing to the broken chair,
said: "That proves the strength OF
my argument" The court smiled
broadly, but laughed outright when the
opposing counsel promptly replied
':The learned counsel's argument may
he all that he claims for 1t, but it fell
to the ground"

Pityinu Ourselves.

Have you heard Of the man carry
ing a load Of sticks, who, when he
became tired threw his sticks down
on the bank OF river, and seating
himself by them. said: y am sick and
tired Of this. I wish death would
come to relieve me?" Instantly Death
slipped up and said. "Here | nm, what
do you want OF me:" II want you to
help me put this bundle Of sticks on
my back again." said the surprised
man. Plying ourselves is cheating
ourselves. Then flee from discomfort
and encouragement, for they are the
hOtbeds Of deceit. Near them we think
that which is not true, and say that
which we do not mean.-Exchange.

FAREWELL SERVICE
 HONORS REV. FISK

TEMPE. April 9.-One of tine most touching services ever held in Tempe was the one held in the Methodist church Sunday when all the congrega- tions in Tempe joined in farewell service in honor of Rev. Fisk who leaves this week for Douglas.
 That Rev Fisk has, since his resi- dence here. been force for all that is good, was shown in this service. After the opening hymn. Re-. Thomas Ham blv. chairman of the ministerial asso- citation of the city, called on Rev. T. O. Douglas for the invocation. Prof. l.. A.

The Toqqery's siq Sales


 The Toggery's War Saving sale makes itself known by a double page advertisement in this issue. George A. Johnson, the proprietor made his GUS tomary visit to the east early in the spring, and realizing the need of buy ing carefully on account of the prevail ing high prices in the markets, took his time and chose only what he claims to be an excellent lot of merchandise bought on a safety margin basis, viz. bought so cheap that they were bound to sell. Ever a daring believer in the demand for goods of quality and style, MT Johnson added an unusually heavy line of millinery, ladies ready to wear ana shoes to his already large stock. and the big Toggery store is filled to the front doors with a select line of merchandise, that will go a long way toward holding the southside trade on the southside. As to the prices given the advertisement speaks for itself. the purpose of this article being to set forth the fact that this live merchant who from a small beginning has built up a magnificent establishment, be- lieves i'll the pulling power of the Re publican. There arc many hundreds Of readers in the towns to west, added to the considerably more than a thou sand homes on the southside. where the paper finds itself a welcome daily visitor. and this circulation in the opinion of MT. Johnson, makes a worth While medium through which to place before the public the tempting array of genuine bargains offered at tho Tosgery. This sale begins Thursday and doubtless will find many eager buyers awaiting the opening.
