BASS ALWAYS A WANDERER
Fish Has No Special Abode, bust Seeks
 Places Where Food Is Ghs Most Plentiful.

The bass, both large and small mOuthed, Is a roamer. He iS always looking for the place where the most food Is, and is fond of variety. You can fish for him night or day, as he Is & 24-hOur feeder, but early morning and late afternoon are the SurGst times to get him right.
 He Is an active rogue, and cOntinu- ally rising from the bottom to the surface, at times jumping above the water in pursuit of food. He changes his home and feeding ground as the season passes. In the spring he is found in shallow water in streams and rivers, below rapids and rifles, and as the water warns up he moves to deep pools sheltered by logs, weeds or lodges. During the summer, he mi- grates 10 greater depths, where the water is cool.
 The same Is true of the lake bass. In the spring he freQuents the shal- low places, but later he goes into the weeds and lily pads. The small-mOuth bass fayOrs stony bars or shoals vary ing in depth from ? to 40 OF 50 feet, while the large-mOuth prefers weeds and muddy bottoms.

Built Train for Wales.

4 letter from TOkiO telling of the visit of the prince of Wales empha- sizes that the Japanese know how to do things well. The special train that carried the prince around the country was composed of three coaches which were built especially for his exclusive use The royal compartments are all upholstered in pure Japanese style, a restful tone of green being the pre- dominant color. The woodwork is mahogany, with panels of silk carry ing chrysanthemUm design in white and gold.
 The mantelpiece masking the Iadia- tor at one end of the observation car was made of mahogany imported into Japan some 60 years ago, it is said. Some highly prized wood supplied the material for the writing table in the princess private salon. The third coach was reserved for the members of the reception committee, at the head of which was prince of the blood, who accompanied the prince of Wales throughout his journey.

Steel u,sd in Umbrellas.

All umbrellas contain steel as Il necessary component Just how much, however, has been subject of some interest. While the umbrella industry is not large user of steel, its total consumption of wire and sheets is sub stantial considering the light weight of the finished product. A maker of umbrella frames on a large scale in Philadelphia Is reported to use 2,5OO tons of high carbon steel rods, $50 tons of soft basic rods and 360 tons of besSemer sheet steel each year. The entire industry uses about 300 tons of sheets and about ,550 tons of rods. Wire for the manufacture of ribs and Stretchers is made from high-CarbOn rods, while the runners, n"tches and various other small parts used in the frames are fashioned from soft basic rods. The steel rods are made from bessemer sheets. Four companies make practically all the umbrella frames in the United States. Of these three are in Philadelphia and one in Newark. Philadelphia, therefore, may be said to be the home of the umbrella industry of this country.

 1t was an attractive room, this nest in the big apartment building which was home to her, and one knew that she loved 1t, seeing the affectionate look with which she gave 1t greeting. Throwing her hat and coat over the couch, she accepted the invitation of the bright-cushioned gray wicker chair and opened the letter which she had picked up on entering.
 My Dear Miss Denslow-A friend of mine, writer, is to be in Cleve- land for few weeks, and have given him letter of introduction to you' knowing that you will furnish him the best there Is in the stenOgraphic line, and also that the acquaintance will be mutually agreeable.

 RUSSELL WEBSTER"
 Russell Webster does not know that business belongs on Commerce street, and has no place in this sky tower of mine," and, laying the letter on the table, she commenced the preparation of her evening meal, a task she enjoyed as thoroughly as any hOusekeeper with all the appurtenances of housekeeping.
 Eleanor had left home some years before, resolved to build up business as public stenographer, and success had rewarded her efforts. She now had a business that kept mind and hands well occupied. For several years she had lived in a boarding house. Never safe from intrusion, even when in the supposedly sacred precincts of her own room, her dream had been of a cosy apartment where no one could in trude.
 Then, too, she lOnged for the dainty furnishings which are not found in a boarding house. For Miss Eleanor loved two things, artistic surroundings and solitude. She mingled with crowds during the day, and when night came found her own cOmpaniOnship the most congenial.
 Three months previous to this time her dream had taken material form and the novelty had not yet worn off the pretty apartment which she en

Mars Green as Well as Red.

A few weeks ago we mentioned that an English astronomer had gone to Teneriffe to make observations of Mars during the planets nearest ap- prOach to the earth for the past 13 years. MT. P. Ryves recently sent the following message to a London paper {:
 My instruments have been installed at Izana' at an altitude of 5000 feet. The sky is clOudless.
 Mars has been observed at about the time of it's least distance from the earth. Snow around both planets poles is abundant. The south temper ate regions are dark and pronOuncedly greenish.
 The rest of the side of the planet now visible shows little detail, but there are red color marks suggesting clear, dry weather over this part of Mars."-Montreal Family Herald.

WENDs OF sLAVoRiC ORIGIN
Variety Of Trlhee Mingled to Ferm What Was at One Time a
 Powerful People.

The Wends are a section of the SIavOnic race, dwelling in that part of Germany moWn as Lusatia, partly in Prussia and partly in the former kingdom of Saxony: In the Sixth cen tury the Wends were 8 powerful pe0- pie, extending along the Baltic from the Elbe to the Vistula and south to the frontiers of Bohemia. They com prIsed a variety of tribes. To the Wends at the outbreak of the war Prussia was merely a military expres- sion. They have always remained closely united among themselves, preserving the old customs and con- sIdering the mlngling of races by mar rIage as opposed to the laws of orIRin. The distinctions of caste among them are very .mRrked and scrupulously respected. They call themselves SOrbs, and are known in history as PoIabs. Their language, of which there are two most marked dialects. is Saxon and Prussian, with sections that speak a mixed form of both languages, which h described as being between Polish and Czech (BO- hemianl and was reduced to a writ ten language in the Sixteenth cen tury. The people of. Wendish speech numbered 144,OO0 in the sos, vera reduced to 11oyS00 in 1900, and are considerably less today.

MUCH ROMANCE IN CHINA.
Mistaken Idea That All Is Pros aic conce rning Weddings in the
 FIowery Kingdom.

It has been the custom to think of the Orient as the place of the mar rlage of convenience, the place where it is believed that the circumstances and training of the parties concerned have more to do with happiness than the mere matter Of their personalities. But odd sidelights are thrown on this tradition in the survival of legends of romance and stories of remarkable ex- captions to the rule.
 Two of these tales concern the but terfy in the mandarin's garden and the white rooster. These figures en- ter into many Chinese betrOthals and marriage feasts.
 Instead of a pair of earrings or a bracelet Chinese swain. smittpn on the lady who has been selected for him in one way or another, is apt to give her a carved jade butterfly to wear as a jewel.
 This cOmmemOTates legend of a most remarkable exception to the rule of marriages of caste and convenience.
 A youth sometime, somewhere, was chasing butterflies. Following a par ticularly lovely one he jumped over a wall and landed in the garden of a mandarin. The mandarin had a daugh- ter. He caught the butterfly. His head was not chopped off and he mar ried the lady who matched the butter fly in the garden.
 Then there Is the story of the white rooster. These fowls are favorites In China and are considered ornamental objects for 8 first-class garden of Neach blossoms and pine trees.
 The Chinese maiden loses her lover, who goes to the wars or is taken from this earth in some romantic fashion. She goes to the garden where she used to meet him. She thinks about him. She looks down the well. She admires all the birds that are in the garden. They all leave her except her white rooster. She jumps into the well. So does the bird. They both drown. But both are faithful through life and in death.
 So at each wedding where proper attention Is paid to old customs the bride and groom drink wine from a carved jade cup which is d sentimental statue to the faithful bird.

tered each night with a sense of al- most childish delight. The tiny kitch- en was a playhouse, the gas range toy stove that would do real cooking, and the mistress of it all was as pro- ficient in the art of preparing tempting meals as in the work of her downtown world. A gate-leg table with snowy cloth and blue china, low bowl of pink roses In the center, relieved the brown rolls and butter, juicy steak, potatoes and apple jelly, borne in on tray from the kitchen.
 The forenoon was passing, typewrit- CTS clicked and Eleanor was busy at her desk when the door opened quietly to admit young man of dignified bearing.
 Miss DenslOwT
 "Yes."
 Eleanor was on her dignity in busi- ness hours.
 T have letter of introduction from MT. Russell Webster"
 So little thought did Eleanor give to business during home hours she had forgotten the letter of last evening She read the note, asking. "Crn be of service to you?"
 T would like to dictate few letters and wish to make an appointment for each forenoon. May I have a private rOOm?"
 'CertainIy. Miss Folsom She spoke to an assistant. "Mr BalcOme would like to dictate"
 There was trace of disappointment Oil the cOuntenance of MT. Bruce Bal come as he followed Miss Folsom. For several days Miss Folsom was as- signed to him. This did not suit him in the least, for he had been told that he would find Eleanor DenSlOW a con- genial companion, and he had looked forward to meeting her. He had been attracted at once and congratulated himself that he had brought letter of introduction. so that the acquaintance might progress rapidly. But it did not progress readily. It did not progress at all. The acquaintance had com menced with bow and d few words. and bow without the few wOrCs-Mas all he was getting now. This would ~ termination, and the dignified alOof- ness of Miss Eleanor served only to make him more desirOus of knowing the young lady inside that business shell.
 The next morning he opened the door and walked directly across to Miss DensloW, greeting her with smiling Good morning. hope you are disposed to grant. favor today. I wish to get out an unusual amount of work before tomorrow. Would 1t be possible for me to engage your serv- ices this evening? | can always do better work when the noise of the day is stiIfed." With a calm exterior he awaited her reply. Eleanor heard his request with surprise and looked at him closely, trying to see if there was anything more than. business in this suggestion.
 T am not in the habit of extending my office hours into the evening""
 The answer was neither what he hoped for nor what he feared. Eleanor never knew how 1t was that she con- scented to return to the office that eve ming. Neither did she know how 1t had come to be a regular thing for her to dine with Mir. BalcOme twice a week, returning to the office for an evenings work on his book.

Ancient Bibles.

Many ancient Bibles are owned in Genesee county, according to reports coming into Flint, says a dispatch to the Detroit Free Press.
 Rev. George Bedford, pastor of the Congregational church at Grand Blanc claims to own the oldest one. It was printed in Oxford, England, in 1925. He has another printed in Worcester, Mass, in 1797.
 Of the many old Bibles in the coun- try, a majority of them are reported to be well preserved, and are distin- guished from the modern Bible by the addition of books to be found in them, such as Esdra, Baruch, Susanna, Mac cabees.
