TIMOTHY BROWNHILL Madras, Oregon, GRANT SWING The "Human Whirlwind," a daring French athlete, Is sending bunchea of thrills up and down the opines of the spectators at the Oaalno in Paris, where he dally risks his life in performing the "Thriller," Illustrated by the accompanying cut The bicycle and Its rider, after descending the inclined plane, continue their courso for an Instant upon the semi-circular part of the track, and then, held by the rope, finish describing the clrclo In the air. At the moment at which the wheels of the bicycle resume contact with the ground, the rope becomes detached automatically, owing to the special form of the hooks that sustain it at It sends, and It is possible for the bicyclist to continue his Jour ney In a straight line, the curved part of the track haying been removed and the straight part lowered to the level of the ground during the short time that he was in the air. The curved part la mounted upon two rails on which it is slid to one side, and the level part is supported by a metallic horse that is folded- up when the pedal is pressed by the attendant. These two parts are manip ulated at the same time by one man. GOV. WARFIELD ON MARRIAGE. Ha Thinks 20 the Proper Age at Which to Make Vowi. Gov. Warfleld, of Maryland, has backed down as a matrimonial advis er to the girls of Maryland. Some time ago he told the high school girls of Wilming ton that they should not have anything to do with Oupld until they had attained the discretionary age of 20 years. Now, to avoid the storm, the Gurer nor cries "Joke." GOV. E. WABKIELD. He has been pursued by Indignant young and middle-aged females since his declaration and finally was pinned down and asked to explain. "That remark to the young women of the Wilmington school was made playfully and without premeditation," he said. "What I said then was, llj advice to you Is not to marry too ear ly. If asked the age when you should marry, I should say 20. That was the age of Mrsv Warfleld when I married her, and I have said to my daughters , that I should not give my consent to their marrying until they arrive at that age.' Seriously speaking, I think that many lives are made failures by per sons marrying before their characters have been formed. Young people are Impressionable and romantic, and If left to their own free will are apt to ruah Into matrimony without properly considering the grave responsibilities of married life. Many cases have come under my observation where youthful and hasty marriages have resulted in unhapplness, discontent and Uvea of drudgery. The old saying, 'Marry in haste and repent at leisure,' proves too often true. Young women and men should re member that the romantic attach ments of youth generally are not last ing. I would not wish to be regarded aa laying down iron-clad rules con cerning the exact age when a girl should marry. It might be at 22, 24, 26 or 20 years It all depends upon the physical and mental development of the girL I meant rather to Indicate that a girl should not marry until she was more than 21 and of an age to comprehend the responsibility of the marriage state." JAPANE8E ARE ECCENTRIC Politeness the Rale, from the Bleb laha Man to the Hotel Porter. The native Japanese, particularly those who hare not come into close contact with modern civilization, is distinguished as much by his natural courtesy and politeness as by his aversion to clothing. The peasants lu the Interior are especially noted for their punctiliousness In saluting one another; even rickisha men hurrying along the road with a passenger will sometimes stop to greet a friend, while a pretty woman receives a reverence indeed. This salutation la not merely a word or a nod, but a low bow and a flourish of that little mushroom bat, and the greater friends they are the lower the bow. In saying good-by two Japs never see each other's faces, both being so busily engaged In bend ing their backs. As soon as one straightens himself the other bows, going backward all the while, until they consider it polite to refrain. When a foreigner passes through a village every person be meets, from the little child to the old man, will bow most profoundly, so that the pas sage partakes of the nature of a trl umphal procession. Your waiter at the hotel, too, would never think of tuning bis back until bo bad bowed ON BICYCLE. himself to a respectful distance, while the number of salaams he makes while taking yoar order would wear out an ordinary back. Another pleasant trait of these peo ple Is their unvarying hospitality and gayety. You may enter any house and Fit down and the host and his family gather about you, offering cakes and tea, all the while chattering like mag pies. Any little incident that among Europeans would pass unnoticed Is quite sufficient to send these merry folk into fits of laughter. The rural Japanese as a rule wear as few clothes as the law allows, and since In some districts there is no law on this subject the result Is obvious. In fact, the children wear nothing at all In summer, while the men and women have but a scant, a very scant, apology for raiment The national garb is, of course, the kimono, but this is often cast aside in favor of a short Jacket and trousers, or among the fish ermen and the farm laborers a hand kerchief or other small rag. ThU scantiness of clothing, however, seems so natural that It rarely excites re mark. All the villages are remarkable for their cleanliness and neatness, and ex cept for some of their sanitary ar rangements are models of comfort and simplicity. Agriculture Is carried on with the crudest implements, yet with a skill and care which have made a garden out of a land of barren moun tains, while some of tne workmen In regard to the arts of Joinery and weav ing might give valuable bints to our own people. A short excursion through this coun try will give one a most pleasant Im pression of the land and, Its Inhabit ants, while their quaint courtesy and persevering Industry render them worthy of considerable respect Queer Tastes of Women. "The new waiter came to me looking scared," said the head waiter in a Chicago restaurant where many work ing girls take their luncheon. "I got him from a down-town place where men are served exclusively. The whims of women privileged to order their own meals frightened him. "'That girl wants powdered sugar with an order of little necks,' he said, as though he expected me to fall at the news. "Give It to her,' I said, 'and give her plenty of It' "I have seen women who think steak and onions grossly unhealthy eat raw clams with sugar and olive oil. I have seen them use Worcester shire sauce, tomato ketchup and sugar as a condiment A pinch of lemon and a dash of tabasco seems absurd to them. Olive oil Is becoming more of a fad all the time in serving both oys ters and clams. "But I was nearly bowled out my self the other day when I saw a young woman who had ordered little neck clams, with a follow of spring lamb and mint sauce, sprinkle her clams with the mint sauce." Cedar Rapids Republic. The Other Hid a of It. "No, Jake," said the ward heeler; "J can't put up any more stuff for yon. You west against me last fall, after you had my money, The trouble with you Is you won't stay bought." "You're wrong, Pete," argued the honest voter, "The trouble ain't with me. Seems as if my vote was so blamed contrary It won't stay sold." Judge. Toads mud Their Huge Appetites. The toad is an exceedingly are ad animal. It feeds continuously through- out the night, and In twenty-four hours consume a quantity of Insects equal to about four times Its stomach capacity. PREDICTS MAN WILL FLY. Machine Now Bnlld.tasr by Wfciek It is to he AccomplisHed. In less than Ave years, according to John P. Holland, of Newark, N. J. the Inventor of the submarine boat, man wm spread hla wings and fly . . a like a bird. With out any more ex 'ertlon than Is re quired by tho act of ordinary walk' Ing he will make flights at the rate of from fifty to 100 miles an hour. He will fly from loiiN p. iiollasd. Now lorjc to urn- :ago In a day. He will make a short flight to Washington to see aia lucum nrt will llv back home In time for itinncr. and without moro trouble or energy than would be expended In the lame time at wnlklug; pronamy wua out as much exertion. He will take a courso with or aealnst tho wind or nt any anglo he wishes, nt any height above the Bur- tace ho may And convenient or aesir- ablo. Ho will beat his wings vigorous Iv. Just as any bird does, and then settling In a fixed course, will ride tho air without any more effort than does the swallow thnt skims and dips. Ho will use no airship or other device to attain buoyancy, but will simpiy mount to tho height sought by tho same means as do creatures endowed hv nnturn with feathers? - Flying machines, ornnore properly Improved aeroplanes, are now being constructed after designs by Mr. Hoi land, and tho practicability of flight by them will be demonstrated ns soon as Mr. Holland Is sufficiently protect ed by patents. Tho machluo will con slst of four wings. Those with which the flrst trials soon will bo conducted will be In two sizes, ono pair 7 and tho other 10 feet long. This will give a spread of from 15 to 20 feet from Up to tip. They will bo applied directly to the person In such n manner that appropriate muscles will manipulate them without more exertion than Is necessary for ordinary walking. ThIrt3-four years ago Mr. Holland constructed his flrst flying machine. It did not suit him and he turned bis attention to submarine boats, which he developed to success. At flrst the plans for his submarine boats were scoffed at by scientists and experts, but to-day almost every navy In the world Is building or preparing to build such vessels. I expect," ho says, "that people will laugh at my flying machlno Just the same, and I expect the theorists and scientists to tell me a man enn't go up in the air without a balloon to lift him. because he is so much heavier than air. When the skeptics see a man fly ing -around tho skyscrapers and hop ping to the ground as lightly as a span row, maybe they'll believe he can do it too. I don't care what they think. I waited before. I can wait now." JAPANESE RED CROSS OFFICIALS CARING FOR THE WOUNDED. The Red Cross service, which has become so Indispensable a department of every modern array, has been car rier to tho highest iolnt of efficiency with the Japanese. In fact develop ment of the hospital corps and the means for caring for the sick and In Jured have been made Important fea tures In the military training of Japan. American DJuplay In tho Orient. In the Orient, where strength, social status, In fact, everything that counts In favor of a man or n country, Is es timated by exterior show It Is certain ly shortsighted of our government not to provide adequate display for Its rep resentatlves. A few American soldiers suitably mounted and equipped as a special legation escort would go far to impress American prestige upon the minds of these Orientals. This may be avowedly opposed to Jcffersonlan simplicity and our democratic Ideas, but it Is an established fact which otb er countries quickly recognize and net upon, thus securing favors for their representatives thnt are hesitatingly granted to people less wen provided for.
