Soon Ascend Throne Of His Ancestors E would be a foolhardy pro- phet who ventured to est event pre- dict the bi n which H gg win i i the fall of 1915 will bring forth, but it is a prediction which might be made in Japan with- out risk. The second week of No- vember will witness the coronation of Yoshihito, 122nd human Emperor of Japan. It will certainly be the greatest event of the year, possibly of a generation, in Japan. The whole nation is turning its eyes and thoughts toward the chrysanthemum month in whtcli the chrysanthemum emperor will be crowned. The paradox is that be will not be crowned. The crown is a western symieol, just as the anointing oil is an inheritance from Hebrew ritual. The Japanese coronation is so called because there is no other word in European languages to convey the ceremonies which mark the formal accession of a new monarcb. The Japanese solemnity is national, whereas the western is religious. The Emperor of Japan requires no intermediary between heaven and EMPEROR YOSJIOAITO. earth. He is hedged about by a divinity to which no other monarch makes claim. In theory be is divine. That is a delicate point and is never discussed 111 Japan. At all events he is divinely descended, for Jimmu Tenno, the first human Emperor, whose countenance still adorns the Bank of Japan bills, was the grand- son of one of the fire gods of Jap- anese mythology. In Shinto the Em- peror is the supreme representative of the Japanese people in this world to the Japanese people in the next world. He is the head and focus of the national religion and the corona- tion is a religious act. The ceremony, which will take place at Kioto, consists of two re- ligious observances of great import- ance, one semi-public appearance of the Emperor before his subjects and rep resen ativex ot foreign pow- ers, w- ers, two great banquets and other elaborate entertainments, and the whole is concluded with a pilgrimage to the shrines where the remains of Jimmu Tenno, the first human Em-. peror, and those of the four Em- perors immediately preceding the present are interred. The religious ceremonies consist, ,first, in the Emperor paying homage to the spirits of his ancestors and in- forming them that he has succeeded to the throne which they in their day adorned, and second, in offering the spirits the first fruits of the year-- rice ear-rice and wine made from rice. About November 8 (the exact date has not been published yet) the Em- peror will leave Tokio Palace; driv- ing in full state in a coach and six to the station to entrain for Kioto, where he arrives on the following day. There is another drive in state to Kioto, Palace, and the remainder of the proceedings is conducted with- in the vast enclosure of the palace. The ceremony called the coronation takes place on November 10. In the morning, after having bath- ed and purified himself, the Em - MRS. MELTON'S LETTER To Tired Worn -oat Mothers Jackson, Miss.-" I' shall feel repaid for writing this letter if I can help any tired, worn-out mother or housekeeper to find health and strength as I have. "I have a family of five, sew, cook and do my housework and I became very much run-down in health. A friend asked me to try Vinol. I did so and now I am well and strong and my old time energy has been restored. Vino] has no superior as a tonic for worn-out, run- down, tired mothers or housekeepers. -Mrs. J. N.

This takes place in a plain wooden pavilion, or temple, into the walls of which, in accordance with ancient custom, no nails have been driven, the fastening being done with wooden pegs, and the tough tendrils of the Jauanese vine, The ceremony takes place before the Kashiki-Do- koro, or national shrine, containing the mirror, the sword, and the jewel, The Emperor also announces to the imperial ancestors his, accession; just as the humblest subject en- flounces to his ancestors any events of family importance of which they ought to be informed. , "Unfit" Ordered to Serve. The Hungarian Minister of Nation- al Defence has ordered all classes be- tween the ages of nineteen and twenty-four, wbo were previously de- clared unfit for military service, to present themselves again for supple- mentary enrollment. A. similar order has been issued for those- between the same ages who heretofore for various reasons have been excused' from military service, Germany's War 13511. Mr. J. M. Robertson, M.P., former- ly Secretary' to the Board of Trade, says that the war is costing Germany £140,000,000 a month.. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form: Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh'yon should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil -food in Scott's 7dmulsion which is a medicinal food and a building -tonic, free from,,any harmful drugs.

We think of the bow and arrow as medieval weapons of year abandoned by the nations of Europe four or five centuries ago, The bowmen of Crecy are the last of any prominence In Eng- lish history. Yet it Is only about 100 years since soldiers fought with bows and arrows in European wars, and that, too, on the fields of southern Bel glum. It was in 1813, when all Europe was armed against Napoleon. Every one of the allied natious brought every possi- ble resource of men and means to fur- ther this end. Among them was Rus- sia. To the war she sent soldiers from the newly conquered tribes that dwelt upon the steppes or Asia-Bokharans and Turkomans and Tartars and other half savage peoples. hleny of these regiments were armed with bows and arrows. Joneini, the military historian, speaks of a great number of these that fought side by side with the Prussians In eastern Germany and in Belgium, and be says that these bowmen held their own against the French Infantry. Their aim, be says, was surprisingly good, and they could shoot an arrow with effect almost as far as a musket ball was effective, but in those days that was not much more than 100 yards. -Exchange. Had Dyspepsia. Says: HE NEARLY TURNED UP HIS TOES. Curdock Blood Bitters CURED HIM. Mr. H. N. Manderson, Stealer, Alta., writes: "About twenty-five years ago, in the Province o%Quebec, I came pretty near turning up my toes with dyspepsia. A cousin of mine persuaded me to try Burdock Blood Bitters. In about two weeks I could eat anything from raw fat pork to unleavened bread. Three bottles did the job, and I have never been troubled with my stomach since, You would say that this is wonderful if you could only, see what we sometimes have to live on in this country; bannock, half cooked beans, etc." Burdock Blood Bitters has been on the market for the past forty years, and cannot be excelled as a medicine for all. diseases or disorders of the stomach.

Foreign geographical names often prove confusing to American readers because each European country has a name edits own for each of its cities, rivers and other geographical feat - tures. Every other nation has a dif- ferent name for the same thing. Amer- ican geographies follow the English In their nomenclature, but often employ a different pronunciation. For example, we eall one Belgian city Antwerp, while the Belgians and French call it Anvers. We term an- other Belgian city Mechlin, while at home It 1s termed, Malines. The river Meuse is pronounced ^ In Belgium and France very nearly as we world pro- nounce 1t, while theGermaus pro- nounce it as 1f it were spelled Moysay, and the people of the Netherlands call 1t the Maas. 13ruesels Is spelled Brux- elles at home, and the final s is not pro - pounced. Dendermonde, on the river Dender, is pronounced Dandermond by its inhabitants, but 1t is known as Ter. monde In most of the geographies. Aalst is also spelled Most. Louvain is Leuven at home, Vienna is Wien and'.. Ghent is (land. So one might go down the line. It la to be hoped that some day the geo- graphical societies will get togeti.e. and agree upon a nomenclature than will be universally adopted.-Deoit It te Tribune. War News of Huron 'Boys Wingham,.
