Henry Van Dyke, NATURE IS CHANGED. working clothes for dry. clean cloth ing on coming from his work, eats In moderation and eats regularly, takes exercise, but never medicine. The re sult is that a sick Japanese Is as rare as a sick lion. ' ' In the crowded military camps the preparations for sanitation and cleanliness are made before the prep arations for cooking. As a result, the soldier la not killed by sickness, but has a maximum vigor at all times to hurl against the emaciated hordes of the Czar. The United States can learn a les son from Japan that will be of value in the construction of the Panama canal. If the government places the labor ers on the Isthmus under military control and prepares complete sani tary arrangements before a laborer for the canal is landed on the Isth mus, she can handle that monster task as gracefully from a sanitary standpoint, as Japan is handling her armies in the crowded camps of Man churia. They say the shape of the head, the size of its bumps, the curve of the forehead, the contour of the face, the thickness of the neck, the form of the eye, the length and shape of the nose and the peculiar pursing of the lips, all indicate the character and the genius of the man. These rules of phrenology and psy chology have been scattered as wisps of straw In an October gale, by the arts of deception and the studious wiles of the professional fakir. "Art has changed the stamp of na ture." It Is no longer possible to re ly on the finding of the phrenologist. .Men, in their mad freizy to get rich, to earn a living without work, to wear diamonds and ride in palace cars without effort, have performed all kinds of phrenological and psy chological wonders. Men with flat foreheads, receding chins and pug noses are holdlne some of the best positions In the world, while splendid specimens of physical and mental perfection with full foreheads and kingly bearing are running wheelbarrows and herding sheep. They say the long, dreamy, almond -shaped eye Indicate genius. Men with this perfect form of ey are -seen everywhere pounding mules on the back and driving spikes in rail road ties, while the fellow with the round, full shallow eye of the Imbe cile Is found in the art studios, the sanctums and the study rooms, muk Ing the thought of the world and generating the vital sparks for the whirring dynamos of civilization. The rules are no longer infallible. Tou can't judge the man today by the stars that ruled at his birth. Modern business methods have changed even the decrees of the stars. Tou must study the Individual to day before forming a Judgment. All rules are swept aside. Education. culture, contact with the live wires of the world have infused new vital ity and Implanted new possibilities in men. LEARN FORM JAPAN. Let the world learn from Japan. She has taught the nations that it Is as necessary in war to be clean aa to be brave; that microbes and disease germs are more destructive than but lets and that poor sanitation, even In the temporary military camp, is more deadly than shrapnel. Japan carries her personal cleanll ness Into every corner she traverses. ' The same rigid rules of health are observed in the Japanese boarding cars on the O. R. A N., that have kept the emergency hospitals and crowd' ed camps of the Mikado's armies In Manchuria peculiarly free from fever and disease, and which have resulted in the speedy recovery of the great est proportion of wounded soldiers of any war in modern times. Crowded in their diminutive island home, it is necessary that the Japan ese be excessively clean, or perish . from overcrowding. Therefore, the first rudiment in the training of ev- -ery brown boy is a personal cleanll- - ness that Is almost severe In it .1-1.1- Laat week a mother of Umatilla county gave consent for her, 15-year- old daughter to wed. the ceremony was performed and this child Is now a wife, presiding over a home. So ciety will say that the matter con cerns no one except the parties to the affairs. It may not In' this Individ ual case. This girl may live to love and respect the husband, rear a fam ily in happiness, contentment and honor, and prove an exception to the rule. It is hoped she does. But the principle is wrong. Burring the Indi vidual case, the general custom is pernicious. Ordinarily every marri age at this age means a widow, per haps a couple of orphans, to boot, di vorce court expenses and two or three unhappy and disappointed lives. It is unnatural, in the first place, and no matter what the money-mud world says. It concerns society and must be regulated by so ciety.

King George of Saxony died Octo ber 16. , Concerning tills man a wri ter in the New York Sun says: "George of Saxony was an old man when he came to the throne, being 70 years old when he succeeded his brother. King Albert, on June 20, 1802. A short time iftcr his acces sion he nearly succumbed tn nnn. monia and never fully recovered. George was born in Pillnlt on August 8. 1832. His wife wns a Portuguese princess, the Infanta Marie Anne, hy whom he had five children, the eld est being Frederick August, wso suc ceeds him on the throne. He is 3 years old. Saxony's late ruler, per haps above all things else n soldier, was prominent In European military circles as the commander for 3(1 years of the Twelfth Army corns. which was Saxony's division of the German Imperial army. His name was especially revered by the rank and file as the result of his order that the common soldier should be treated with greater respect and len iency. He had no hesitation In crit icising the German military system, and spent a good part of his time In attempting to bring about reforms In the service. As a soldier himself, he many times showed conspicuous bravery. During the Austrian and French campaigns he served with gallantry and often put himself in positions of the greatest danger." RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. The greatest number of collisions reported in these bulletins was due to the failure of the train-order sys tem in some of Its parts. Dispatch ers gave wrong orders or failed to give orders where they were requir ed; operators failed to copy orders correctly, or did not deliver orders that should have been , delivered; conductors and engineers misread, misinterpreted, overlooked or forgot orders. Seventy-five accidents of this class are noted, resulting In 188 deaths and 828 Injuries to passengers and employes. Many of the most dis tressing collisions that have occurred In this country were due Jo mistakes In orders, and the regularity and frequency with which such accidents occur emphasizes the necessity for radical Improvement- In the methods of handling trains by telegraphic or ders, or the abolition of the; tralii'or der system entirely. I It Is noteworthy that four of the above '75 collisions, resulting in 14 deaths and 84 Injuries to passengers and employes, and a property loss of nearly $100,000, were dueui Identi cal mistakes in , reading orders the overlooking of "2nd" or "Second." The following is a typical example of this sort of error:' "Conductor and englneman of one train misread orders. They had a '19! order against 'Second No. 1.' but read $ ''No. 1'; englneman was killed. Being on form 19, 'the 'order was not :.read by the operator to the conductor ' and' englneman," This mistake icaused a butting collision between a passenger and a freight. In which four persons were killed and 60 injured, ? " It may be observed that it he colli sion at Warrensburg. Mo., .on Octo ber 10, In which 30 persons were killed and an equal number terribly Injured, was another Instance of this sort of error. " Such Identical errors emphasize the need of some change in the scheme of numbering or nam ing trains or in writing the numbers or names in dispatchers' orders.' A colllssion between a passenger and a freight train, in which 22 per sons were killed and 25 injured, was due, ulso. to misreading orders. The conductor of the freight train read 1 hour and 20 minutes, but.'the order was written 20 minutes. Collisions due to operators copying orders wrongly or falling to deliver orders are numerous. One collision was due to the engi neer of one of the trains misreading the name of the station written In his order. Mistakes of dispatchers are not so numerous, but -there are several cases of lap orders and fail ure to make meeting point. From "Railroad Accidents In the United States," by Edward A.

It may be some comfort to laboring men to know that the salary of the poet laureate of England is (380 a year and a hogshead of wine thrown in. Of course, this represents only a fractional part of what Alfred Austin really earns; still it is all that he gets for being poet laureate to the English speaking race. This salary is without any prospect of a raise, although it was Increased to Its pres ent munificent proportions when Lord Tennyson died. . Some time before his death it was decided to Increase his salary to that amount, but the government did not decide until after his death. Thus the present poet laureate came in for the raise Intended for Lord Tennyson. Even this small sum is more than the official salary of the Bishop of Winchester, In his capacity of minis ter to the chapel royal. He receives 136 per annum. It is an office which requires his presence at Windsor sev eral times each year and the total railway fares from Winchester amount to five times the amount of his salary. The vice consuls of the second class towns In Russia are also badly paid. 'Their salaries vary from 126 to $130, but two-thirds of them get $26. David Bell, of Unlontown.
