To-day We rode to Lake Bswa, distant
about seven miles, and our route lay along
the great Tokaido. The road IL about
twenty feet wide, well mAcadamized, with
the inevitable walled ditch ON either side.
1t is the great thoroughfars from Osaka To
Toxic, and from the lake TO Kioto Il was o
continuous stream of travel, many cattle,
and few horses laden with goods Of every
description. We entered the town at the
south end Of the lake, and were taken to
flight of stone steps to climb to . temple
that overlooked the lake. We ascsnded
them, found ourselves, on the pleatsau ex-
cavated in the side in the mountain, and
turned to look upon tho largest lake in
Japan. It is sixty miles in length, but
narrow at the south end. It is surrounded
by rich alluvial lands. Our guide next led
us to see bell, which, he told us, had not
been rung in twelve hundred years, and
pointed to small wooden building at the
head of fight of wide stone steps. We
looked In through wooden bars, well worn
by curious visitors, and saw supported on
strong wooden table, bell about four feet
high, with bad crack, which seemed TO
to have been caused by fire. 1t had on Il
few plain figures as ornaments. Our
guide informed us that 1t was seventeen
hundred years old, and that 1t had hung In
an ancient Shinto temple that once stood
where it now lies. For five hundred years
its tones foated over the placid lake, and
called the people along il shores to wor-
ship. Then came catastrophe, and
twelve centuries have passed. .-San Fran

Ill in ono room. A young man. whom
will call Van Tassel. offered his services to
assist IN putting the room in order. ,s- Mr..
vanTasssl was not large man, but he
was strong. His hair was of the sandy
blonde type, and hung in huge masses of
knotted ringlets over his neck and should
err. While he was not absolutely prepos-
ssssing in his general appearance, his will
ing and industrious manner commended
him to us. remember that in the pro-
oess of erecting our stage we were three or
four boards short. The carter had been
discharged, but Van Tassel was equal to
the emergency. He forthwith started for
the lumber yard, half mile away, and in a
short time returned, bearing on his back
two twelve-foot boards, each twelve inches
wide and an inch thick. The stage COM
pleted, we found that two more boards of
the same size were required for the lamp
and darkening board, and again Van Tas-

came, the lights were found inadequate
more candles were wanted, and again my
friend Van Tassel was called upon. Then
some necessary property had been forgot
ton, and again went Mr.. Van Tassel. He
seemed never to tire. Both days he was
with US and did all he could, and did it
gratuitously. He asked no reward. He
was simply paid in witnessing the perform
snces. People are not so liberal nova
days, but this was more than thirty years
ago.
Well, when we had paid our bills, and
were on tho eve Of starting for Ravsnna,
Ohio, by stage coach, Mr.. Van Tassel agaiA
put in an appearance. Calling me away
from tho crowd who were standing around,
he informed me that the authorities thought
I ought 10 pay license of 80, as we had
made good thing while there.
"Well, I replied, "why did they leave 1t
until the last moment2 Itlooks like taking
An advantage, as we are about starting"
Mr.. Van Tassel said it looked so to him,
but that was their decision, and he didn't
know how 70 get out of it.
"Get out Of itT" said I; "what interest
have you in the matter, ! should like to
know?" ss

A BAD HABIT

No habit is more offensive, or more ut
tsrly useless than profanity. 1t never did
any man the least good. No man is the
richer or happier or wiser for 1t. 1t com.
mends no one to society. It is disgusting
to the refined; abominable to the good; in.
sulting to those with whom we associate
degrading to the mind; Improbable, need

HOW A MAYOR '.sUPPoRTEDs'
THE THEATRE.

The following account Of = quaint incl.
dent in . theatrical Managers career 10
from the pen of veteran comedian and
iovial gentleman: r'." ,s'
The incident am going TO relate occurred
at Newcastle, Pa, in August, 1s4A. Tho
company were ON their way from Clevs.
land to Pittsburg. Thstowns intermsdiats
were unknown to the manager, and; when
we embarked at Beaver by canal there was
not the remotest idea Of hating before
reaching Lake Erie. The boat (the only
one leaving the day We reached Beavsr)
was bound for Erie, Pa, instead Of Glove
land, Ohio, but at the junction near New
castle, where we were to leave and take an
other boat, We asoertained from our cap.
tain that Newoastls was quite village (as
he thought), with some $500 Inhabitants,
and that it would pay Us TO make . stop
there for few days. We stopped. In
those days, theatrical companies had no
advance agents. Those important sdjuncts
TO success and fortune had not been thought
Of. OF course our arrival was unhsralded
"a sort of surprise to all--particulariy to
landlords, who were put 10 ther trqmps'
to know how to dispose Of 90 many people
without time to prepare. However, the
fuss made served as an Advertisement worth
ss much az three-sheet poster nowadays.
It was warm August morning whom vs
found ourselves on the hesl-path q the
canal fronting the principal business street
of the town. Day was just dawnins; the
hotel was not 800 feet distant from the
landing, and we concluded that ws would
save the services of porter by moving the
baggage ourselves. This ives soon accom-
plished, and then We Knocked for entrance
to the house. In short time, the porter
and hostler opened the door, and whom hs
looked out upon the group before him h'
was taken "all aback," and seemed con-
fused and uncertain how to oct. So large
number Of persons at such an hour might
well astonish stronger nerves than hs pos
sessed. However, . few words In sxplana-
ton satisfied him, and no bsde u enter.
The landlord was called, and others soon
made their appearance. Our case was
stated, and immediately speculation com
mencsd as to where place suitable for our
entertainments could be found. The No.
suit was an apparent disappointment.
There was not hall, not vacant room Of
any kind, in the borough Chat y what u

A PLUCKY WOMAN MAKES A BUR.
II ,s,.G CLAIR DISGORGE.

~ =. ~ CLAIR D1SGOHGEs
A little Eureka, Nevada, woman awoke
recently to find burglar prospecting her
room for valuables. She lay very quietly
until he had concluded his labors and trans
ferred operations to the adjoining parlor,
when she quietly arose, armed herself with
. revolver which her husband had provided
her with, and which was snugly ensconced
under her pillow. and tiptoed into the bur-
GLARS presence. Covering him with the
weapon, without tremor in her voice,
she commanded him to discharge his plum
der. There was blood in her eye and de-
termination In her tone, and the burglar
weakened at once. He deposited on the GEN.
trs table bracelet, gold chain and pair of
ssrrings--all that he had managed to secure
thus far-and msekly listened to a spirited
lecture delivered impromptu. She wound
up her address by expressing regret that
her scanty toilet prevented her from es-
oorting him to the Jail, and ordered him
out of the house. He did not stand upon
the order Of going, but went at once.
The brave little woman then dressed, Lit
her lantern, went to the furnace, told her
husband of her adventure, and remained
until daylight. y
