A Bill Of Fare in japan.

The following is the bill of fare of
dinner given in honor of General Grant
by the citizens of Nagasuki, Japan:
The bill of fare was almost volume,
and embraced over fifty courses. The
wine was served in unglazed porcelain
wine cups on white wooded stands. The
appetite was pampered in the beginning
with dried fish, edible seaweeds and
isinglass in something of the Scandi-
navian style, except that the attempt did
not take the form of brandy and raw
fish. The first serious dish was com
posed of crane, seaweed, moss, rice
bread and potatoes, which we picked
over in curious way, rs though we
were at an auction sale of remnants,
anxious to rummage out bargain.
The soup when it first came-for it came
many times-was an honest soup of fish,
came strange dishes, as ragout and as
soup, in bewildering confusion. The
first was called namasu, and embodied
fish, CLANS, chestnuts, rock mushrooms
and ginger. Then, in various combina-
tions, the following: Duck, tluftles, tur-
nips, dried bOnito, melons, pressed salt,
aromatic shrubs, snipe, eggplant, jelly,
boiled rice, snapper, shrimp, potatoes
mushroom, cabbage, lasstish, orange
flowers, powdered fish favored witt
plum-juice and walnuts, raw carp sliced
mashed fish, baked fish, isinglass, fisl
boiled with picked beans, wine and rice
again. This all came in the first course
and as finale to the course there was /
sweetmeat composed of white and reC
bean jelly-cake and boiled black mush
room. With this came powdered tea
which had a green, monitOry look ant

Never Despair.

ANVIL OOoBhh
l iain would impress on
The weary and sad
The truths of lesson
In metaphor clad.
Still in life's journey the
Bravest do best
Still on lifc's journey we
Hanker for rest.
Innocent mer1iment
Shortens the mile;
Try the experiment
Once in II while.
Face your foes learlessly,
Never say die"
Trials, tak'n fearlessly
Lightsomely lie.
Our tear drops are lenses
That magnify ills;
They cozen our senses
Till hillocks seem hills.
And faces grow wrInkled,
While tresses with gruy
Grow speedily sprinkled
When woe has her way.
Horrors may haunt you, but
Foul may grow fair;
Dangers may daunt you, but
"Never despair"
Verify, verify,
Judge as you may,
lie who tolls merrily
Carries the day.

"where Shall We Land 2"

All listlessly we float
Out seaward in the boat
That beareth love.
Our sails OF purest snow
Bend to the blue below
And to the blue above.
Where shall we landl
We Drift upon tide
Shoreless on every side
Save whore the eye
OF fancy sweeps far lands
SHOWED slopingly with sands
OF gold and porphyry.
Where shall we land!
The lairy isles we see
Loom up so mistily-
SO vaguely fair,
We do not care to break
Fresh bubbles in o,ir wake
To bend our course for there.
Where shall we land2
The warm winds OF the deep
Have lullod our sails to sleep,
And so VIC glide,
Careless of wave or wind,
Or change OF any kind,
Or turn OF any tide.
Whore shall we land?
We droop onr dreamy eyes
Where our reflection lies
Stepped in the sea,
And in an endless flt
OF laHsuor smile on it
And its sweet mimicry.
Where shall we land2
"Where shall we land?" Gods grace!
know not any plNco
So fair rs this
Swung here between the blue
OF sea and sky, with you
TO ask me- with kiss,
Where shall we landW

The Mongols ascertained the number
of the enemies slain by cutting OFF the
right ear of each of the dead. In 1899
they collected 100000 of these from the
plains of Russia, and after th3 bate of
Leignitz, in l24i, filled with right ears
nine enormous sacks.

A noble bloodhound in Philadelphia
made n savage assault upon citizen,
and the owner is under bonds to answer
for keeping so vicious IN animal. The
circumstance leads the Philadelphia
Bulletin to these righteous reflections:
1T is characteristic ofpersons who keep
dogs to have IL firm and illimitablc faith
in their amiability. If visitor to the
house of such n man has his nervous sys-
tenn COM pletely unstrung by two or three
dogs dashing ut him savagely us soon as
he rings the door bell, the owner in
vmiably comes out smiling with the
assurance that the animals are as harm
less as kittens; he always regards it us II
jood joke that anybody should be afraid
of beasts SO gentle, so amiable and so
fond of play. If one of the dogs hap
pens to bite piece out of somebody's
leg, or chew up a child or two into mince-
meat, the owner regards the perform
ance with painful surprise, and is wholly
unable to account for the singular con-
duct of his pets upon any other theory
than that the victim must have done
something of = peculiarly outrageous
character to irritate the noble animal y

In the commissioners report of the test
of the Oshk, sh steam-Toad wagon for
the reward offered by the Wisconsin
Legislature of $4,000, they say the
wagon has hauled loads, plowed and
otherwise accomplished successfully
every test mentioned in the law or sug-
gested by the commission. They are
not, however, satisfied tnat this machine
is, in the language and spirit of the law,
u cheap and practical substitute Tor the
use of horses and other animals on the
highways and larms. AS at present
constructed, it is unquestionably of great
advantage in plowing, threshing and
hauling heavy machines from one farm
to another, for heavy teaming on the
highway, etc. but the commission is
not prepared to say that machine re-
quiring an outlay of 81 600, with daily
expenditure of from two to six dollars,
is cheap or practical substitute for
farm animals,

The sixth annual convention of the
United States Hay Fever Association at
Bethlehem, N. H., was the source of
much good sense and good humOr. Mr..
Muckle, in his address, gave this dismal
picture of victims to hay fever: THE
most unfortunate thing about it is that
the soberest man under the heavens is
mistaken for a chronic drunkard when
he gets about halfway through with
his attack, and no protestations will
convince his intimate friends that he
has not had an attack of the jim jams.
He is stunned like leper; his terrible
spasms and agonies of sneezing on the
public streets make him an object OF
ridicule and contempt; and if he is en-
gagged to girl it is very certain that she
will let him drop" But he added ;
THAT a remedy, and an adequate rem
edy, exists for the hay fever there cannot
be shadow of doubt. Some man will
stumble upon it some day accidentally.
1t is to be hoped that he will stumble
SOON"

The infiltration system of sailing beef,
by filling the blood-vessels with brine,
is attracting considerable attention in
Australia. In some recent experiments
at Brisbane, bullocks were treated us
follows At the instant of killing the
animals heart was laid bare, and in
cisions were made in both ventricles.
Into the orifice of the left ventricle II
pipe was inserted, and a stream of weak
brine was forced through the blood
vessels, washing out ali the blood.
Pressure was obtained by having the
brine in an elevated tank. After the ex-
pulsion of the blood the right ventricle
was closed by a clamp, and stronger
brine was forced in until all the blood
vessels were full. In this way the dis
tribution OF the brine through every
part of the meat is said to be complete
and the curing perfect.

TIMELY TOPICS.

"a great many novel articles have
been placed under corner stones of pub
lie buildings and other structures about
being erected. But the most novel arti-
Gle we have known to be thus deposited" "
says the Scientific american, was in
laying the corner stone of an academy
in Massachusetts, the other day. 1t was
nothing less than strip of the human
voice imprinted on tin foil by the phOno-
graphic process. There is no compre-
hending the curiosity this bit of tin foil
will be to the people of couple of hun
dred years hence. when the corner stone
shall he opened and the voice taken out,
and found to .articulate the words and
sentiments of one long since dead and
forgotten"

The Sioux City Journal says that A. K.
Nash, the engineer in charge of the St.
Paul surveying party, which has been run.
ming a line for an extension of the old Ne
braska narrow guage road from Ponca
westward, returned to Sioux City on We'd

the South creek across the divide to the
east branch Of the Bow creek, down that
and up the west branch of the Battle creek,
thence down to the main Battle and up
that in q southwestern course to its head in

Nash had previously explored the country,
and found it favorable for a line, so tina, he
did not think it necessary to 60 over it with
his party of surveyors.
Another line was also run from Ponca to
q point on the east branch of the Bow
creek. near st. Peter, where the line first
run was touched. There would not be
much difference in the expense Of build.

the grading done west OF Ponca some years
ago. Buttwo places we're found where
heavy grading be would required-the divide
stweenth the South creek and the east branch
ofthe Bow, and the divide between the
west branch of the Bow and the east
branch Of the Bszile. At the latter divide
some five miles of rather heavy work
wsulh be required.

less colder weather comes the ice is liable
to run out and leave an open channel.
A telegram from Bismarck, dated the ID

ways, and that the sunken steamer McLaod
would probably not be raised.

Butte slid down the ways and sunk the Nc.

Butte from being put back on the ways, and
will likewise prevent the Gen. Sherman
