TgE RUTLAND Coal MrSE.-The mine
was discovered about two months ago. z.
A. Callahan, Of Plattsburgh. who has for
merly been a coal miner, thought he dis
covered indications of coal. and he went to
work. lie associated with him r. S.Stuart
and William j. Lyon, and the three have
got hole about six feet square and roout
eighteen feet deep. Most oftse way they have
worked through limestone, blasting down,
but latterly the rock has been soft enough
to work with pick. The last rock found
is black slate or shale, with apparently
small pieces of coal. The owners Ae en-.
thusiastic, and few others expect coal, on'
those who remember the wildcat marble
ouarries opened dozen years ago IN many
parts Of the town. prefer to wait tili next
winter before 'patronizing home institu-

GRAPES As FooD-We have on former
occasions referred 10 the value OF fruits as
articles OF diet. both in health and IN sick
ness Grapes may be deservedly claim
high rank among the fruits in this respect.
They contain considerable amount OF
hydro o-carbonaceous matter, together with
potassium salts-a combination which does
not tend to irrltate, but. on the contrary, to
sOOth the stomach. and which is conse-
quently used with advantage even IN
dyspepsia According TO DR.. Hartsen. OF
Cannes, in France. who has recently con-
tributed an article on the subject to Tor
eign medical Journal. the organic acids In
the grapes. especially tartaric acid, deserve
moro consideration than they have goneral-
ly received Their nutritive value has. be
thinks. been much underrated. 1t Is known
that they are changed to carbOnic acid IN
the blood. and possibly careful research
may show that they are convertible into fats.
DR.. Hartsen thinks that they should be
ranked with the carbo- hydrates as food.
They have been found a valuable diet IN
fever. and success of the grape cures IN
the Tyrol and other parts OF Europe ap-
pears to show that they are positively
beneficial in other diseases. No doubt the
good results OF a residence at these estab-
lishments are IN a measure to be ascribed to
the climate and the general hygienic dlsci-
pline adopted The advantage does not
wholly consist in the fact that 80 many
pounds OF grapes are eaten daily, but partly
in the fact that other less healthful things
are not eaten and pure air and exercise
are also important elements in the curative
treatment. But after giving all due
weight to these allied influences We must
allow no small fraction OF the beneficial
result to the grapes. We rejoice, there
fore, at the increased cultivation OF the vine
in this country, and hope to see 1t go on
extending wherever soil and climate permit.
Let every man who can do it plant Cen
tennial grapevine, or a scere OF vines, be-
sides the Centennial tree which the
papers have been advising him to set out.
lie can eat the fruit of the former sooner
than he can sit under the shade of the lat
ter, and his children will bless his mmory

A NIGHT AT A JAPANESE INV entered
the village, which was once city contain
ing over d million inhabitants, and put up
at native hotel, kept in native style.
Again obeying the custom Of undressing the
feet, We passed many guests sitting upon
mats and maxi ing their chopsticks fly in a
way that would make a Yankee enyious
even in a railroad eating house. Up stairs
we went, and were shown into a room whose
walls consisted merely of paper, PARTITION
ing one room from another, but which were
scrupulously clean. Ordering supper and
some native wine, we were quickly served
by a rather good-looking maid. While
awaiting the results of our order we were
served with ''tidbit' pastry and with some
sack-ee also bowl containing live Goals, to-
gether with pipes after which, giving US
time for smoke, the courses began with
fish, not cooked enough fo- our taste, then
eggs, chicken, sweet potatoes, rice and tea.
No bread was served us nor butter, but as
the tea was remarkably fine and the eggs,
though small, were duly seasoned with rock
salt, we made good meal, rendered awk-
ward by lack of experience in using the
chopstick, which were pencil shaped and
used by holding or pressing the food between
through the partitions and giggling at our
frantic efforts to eat gracefully. While eat
ing supper the governor sent a constable to
obtain our names and residence, that we
might be under police protection, we being
the first white men that ever spent night
in the place. Supper being over we took
short walk through the town, and as there
were many pilgrims in the place who had
never seen Caucasian before, we were the
observed of all observers, especially our
friend, an Englishman, who is SIX feet two
inches in his stocking feet, making him
giant among them. Going back to the
hotel, our friend asked us if we wished a
bath and shampoo answering in the afilm-
atiye, he gave the order, and hearing long
low and somewhat sad whistle, which we
heard both by day and night in Yokohama
and which, though it had excited our
curiosity, We had failed TO inquire the rea-
son of-he went into the street and brought
in blind man, whom he said was to do the
shsmpooing The bath being ready, we
went down stairs and were shown into a
room whose wet floor proved it to be in con-
slant use.
Altering finishing our bath we donned our
gown and returned to our room, where the
"blind man took US in charge. COmmenc-
ing our feet, he knuckled US all over, pry-
ing in between every joint and muscle of our
back and limbs, excepting the region OF the
chest, and which, after he was through,
made US feel a. timber as an acrobat. These
shampOoers, it is said, are made blind IN
their childhood that they may ply their voca-
tion without injuring the susceptibility OF
any one. The sun arose unclouded on the
following morning, and after breafast
served on the floor, similar in quality to the
supper of the evening before, we paid our
bill,s (which amounted to $l.75-this for both
of us, including our wine.-Correspondsnos

PROFESSOR HAINES.
Expressions of Estpem from 4 Pupil.

EDITOR JoURNA1.-Having been a pu-
pill in the Union School of this town fol-
the past month, under the tuition of Prof.
A. Haines, and wishing to express my ap-
probation of his kindness as a gentleman
and his ability as teacher, ask the favor
of occupying little space in The JOUR-
NAL. He manifests higher motive in
training his scholars than dollars and cents.
He endeavors by every conceivable means
to make them orderly and courteous. By
his kind treatment they feel it natural and
right to obey the rules of the school, and
that they would forfeit their honor and self
respect were they to act otherwise than be-
comes ladies and gentlemen. In the short
time it has been my privilege to enjoy his
instruction have perceived that he is not
only conyersant with what he teaches but
also that by the clearest method of analysis
makes scholars not merely understand and
remember what they learn, but also capa-
bic of impartiug the knowledge thus acquir-
ed to others. He converts study, which is
generally an irksome task, into pleasant
pastime, and establishes in his scholars con-
fdence in their own powers and self-reli-
ance, which is akin to being self sustaining
The good people of St. Cloud are fortunate
in having secured the services of so able =
principal. With due respect 10 yourself
and all who may read this, which is but
the echo of my schoolmates' opinion and
mine, am,
