Wken three doctors sign It, be la all In. Heart disease and nervous prostra tion are almost unknown among the Japanese. This Immunity la attributed to the equanimity and cheerfulness of fhe Japanese. t A scientist has found out thaf a child 2 ears old uses a vocabulary of 1,200 words; a 3-year-old. 3,300, and a 4-year-old, 4,000 different words. Evidently only Boston children were examined. ' A Philadelphia waiter who inherited a million dollars a few days ago Is working right along as if nothing bad happened. What is a mere million to waiter who has a good "tip" route? A St Louis Judge says American girls who come to grief by marrying titled foreigners deserve no sympathy. Ho probably doesn't expect to be run mlng for office when tbe women get a ehance to vote. A New York dentist has died, leaving many benefits to the public as a result of his seventy years of Investigation and discovery. But he never solved tlie problem of how to make a dentist's ill fit the pocketbook. : The lady whose birthday wart bein' celebrated when the Japs arrived at Port Arthur has not begun contribut ing to the magazines, and neither does she announce her intention of going pon tbe stage. Some people waste their opportunities just terribly. Russia has an autocratic government f the most antique form of despotism, ao religious liberty, no freedom of apeecb, no ballot, no public school sys .4am, no congress, no other legislative body, no constitution, no tolerance of progress In any form and only a thin voneer of civilization. In Japan there at constitutional government absolute freedom of religious belief, freedom of pooch, a system of common schools Ika4 public education as good as that in far own land, the ballot, a wise and tsooest Judicial administration, a broad, Well-balanced and modern system of (government and a high type of civiliza fbo. gome time ago a woman wbo bas Mped many people to see the wonders Of the world about them told a friend atow her own eyes were opened.

Why she did it she could not tell. Per fkgps, after all, tbe call of the day was )a groat to be resisted. She threw asailn ber embroidery and went out tfbat embroidery was never finished, for the world of delight she discovered Usst day changed her whole life. She vooght books and microscope, and be gpa to Investigate for herself, then jtrttfc ber children, then with other peo pm. After a while she began to write, jhai tbe writing brought her new Crlaods and the Introduction to scien JCUe clubs and societies.

Vassar needs more room. The crowd lug is so dense that in tbe class wb-r lis girls can be accommodated ther are 450 applicants, and more coming And other college that make a special ty of training the female mind are also pnKj-ring. The girl Is determined U MH-ure an education. She bas diacov ervd that while her lot in life may, and probably will, be to become the wife of some good man, and that she will need to know more of nursing bot tles and what to do when the baby has colic than about Greek verbs, education is capital, for the man In bis office and the woman in ber borne. There was a time when a married woman was not expected to know the things found In boohs. It was scarcely deemed worth while to teach her to read. She wal either an ornament or a slave. .Now, even the man of few attainments and rough manners is proud of tbe Intel lect of his wife. Beauty Is no longet ber sole recommendation. She can talk knowingly. She bad read books anl the world. She Is a better mother for the iearuing she has secured aud a hp pier woman. The man who would db courage the educating of women would be deemed an enemy to civilization. In the United States there are about 140 colleges for women. Not one too many. Tbe ambition that fills them witl eager young women is laudable. Then Is much In the higher education, an the country that makes most of th brains of its women can never be a bad country. It is a hopeful sign that thou sands of young women are anxlousl willing to devote tbe butterfly period ol their lives to the securing of knowl edge. She does not live on the avenue. Sb lives on a side street Tbe bouse ha; only five rooms. It is a cosy home, al in active use. As the mortgage wblcl originally covered it grows less th porches about the cottage grow larger It was built for two and is now oceu pied by four. There's Himself and Herself and Tbe Girl and The Boy "us four and no more." Himself is a man, every Inch. He Is hearty, hide pendent, energetic and steady as t clock. He has got his big feot firm!; planted on the lower round of the sue cess ladder and Is climbing slowly surely, carefully. He loves Herself and no other. Tbe Boy and Tbe Girl an healthy youngsters. The Boy whlstlei and Tbe Girl sings and Herself doei not complain of shattered nerves But "How can a woman win must economize and pinch enjoy her self?" IVrnaps the happy little womai might be unable to explain that Sht woujd say perhaps: "We have enougt and a little to spare for tbe very poor And really there is satisfaction In deft ly darning Himself Sunday coat.

The Inside Inn solves one great prob lem hotel accommodations. A month hefnre the openinf this great hostslry, with accommodations for 8,0X10 guests, era ready for the reception of gnests. It is ths largest hotel in ths world, and U entirely within ths exposition grounds, restores of its equipment are 2.510 likening rooms. The kitchen Is 200 feet ring and 72 feet wide. There are 84 feet of range, thirty steam roasters, veg etable cookers and soup stock kettles; four dish washing machines with a ca pacity of 40,000 pieces of china an hour; battery of 15 mammoth coffee urns. There Is a sab-kitchen, a laundry, a bak trr and a store room, all lu the base ment A force of 1.800 trained employes are required to operate the hotel. The rates prevailing at the Inside Inn are controlled by the Exposition man agement, and they do not exceed those charged at any first-class hotel In St. Louis In ordinary times. Ou the Euro peas plan the World's Fair visitor may be comfortably located for $1.50 per day, including admission, to the exposition. Prices for a luxurious room with bsth ranee up to $5 per day. Thirty-eight of the States of the Union have erected magnificent club houses In the wooded section of Forest Perk, and have created what is called the Plateau of States. Every type of approved ar chitecture is represented. The World's Fair visitor, no matter fmm whst sec tion, will find the hospitable portals of these mnnriou always open to him. Despite the Immunity of the World's Fsir grounds, covering, as they do, 1.240 acres two square miles every section is of easy accexs. Thirty-five miles of ipleudid roadway intersect the grounds. The Imra-Mnral Kailroad, with 14 miles of trifcke. whiks the visitors to any sec tion in rapid time on the payment of one fare. The miniature steam railways have 12 miles of track and complete the most elaborate transportation scheme ever designed for any exposition. The Cascade feature of the World's Fair, the center of the "main picture," for beauty and grandeur totally eclipse all the courts of honor of former great expositions. Crystal waters, springing from three monumental fountain, plunge dow n os many cascades a distance of 3J feet, with s fall of 80 f-et, and enter the grand basin. Here the waters di vide and till two miles of marble revetted lagoons two miles In length. Beautiful and picturesque small craft ply these waters and nffonl the World's Fair vis ltor nn unrivalled view of the majestic architecture of the splendid structure of the main exhibit palaces. Eleven million dollar will scarcely cover the United StHtes government's participation In this greatest of all World's Fairs. The government building Is the largest, handsomest and most ex pensive ever built for exposition pur poses by any government. In It are un rivalled displsys by the Smithsonian In stitute, the Navy, War, Postorflce, Treas nry. Agriculture and other departments. The display of big gun Is made outside of the building, and ths largest and most powerful gun erer made are I mounted and manned by Uncle Sam's j most expert artillery men.

The pavilions are all of ce lestinl design and make and the Chinese section la a veritable forest of typical and ideal pagodas. They contain exhibits of Chinese manufacture never before seen outside of the Flowery Kingdom. England, Franc and Germany have nil reproduced historic buildings as their national pavilions at the World' Fair. The Orangery, the Grand Trianon and the Cast! at Charloftenhurg represent three of the most famous and beautiful types of European architecture, and the gardena surronnding them are marvelous ly beautiful. These three great nations have very large exhibits in all of the ex hibit palaces. Rivalry between them Is keen and each government has expended more than a million dollars that their resources and national achievements may be exploited. f 4" 5,(l 1 J a ,f STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
