How the Judge Entered the House.

Jelferson's great hight and slender
figure exposed him to much ridicule
from his opponents; his sobriquet
with them was Long Tom" Moth
ing could present more striking or
singular contrast than the figures Of
Mr.. jefferson and Gen. Knox, the one
very short, the other lank and lean,
and unusually tall. They happened
to meet one morning on the steps of
Gen. Washington's lodgings. The
two gentlemen approached from oppo-
site directions, and arriving at the
same moment, contest in etiquette
took place between them. The gener-
al at the head of an army, and full of
its chivalric politeness could not think
of passing in before the co-equal head
of the Department of State, while the
civil officer Of the government was
equally aversc to taking precedence
of the military, and they stood for
some moments, each drawing back
and waving the other forward. In the
midst of this entertaining scene, the
notorious Judge Peters, the greatest
wit Of his day, came up directly in
front. Perceiving how matters stood,
and casting a sly glance from one side
to the other, he pushed boldly between
them, eXclailning, as he passed Par

What the JapS Eat.

The daily marketing of a Japanese
family is very simple affair. The
head of the house is certain to provide
the yearly stock of rice, and this with
the occasional purchase IF fish, forms
the main staple of supply. a wealthy
family will sometimes use chicken,
which, unlike the Chinese, they will
cook very much like chickens are cook
ed in this country, and will add some
vegetable matter, indigenous to the
soil, which is generally pungent and
obnoxious to Europeans. In the poor
er classes the use of "cash" or copper
coin Of the Une.thOusandth part of
dollar in value is common, and the
head of the house never leaves until he
has seen the allowance Of rice and fish
in the house, and knows that his
children will have some food These
people are wonderfully fond of their
children, and thousands of cases attest
their personal suffering to shield the
youngsters. With a plain diet, and
nothing to make the blood thin, it is
easy to see why the average japanese
is so healthy and full-bloOded. He
eschews all roasted or fried meats, all
under-cookcd or overlooked meats and
rarely, if ever, uses liquid of any kind
until he has waited a sufficient time for
the digestion of his food. In con-
sonance with the present advanced
IDEAS OF hygiene the Japanese people
have lived for three thousand years,
and are proof of its efficacy. The
cooking appliances are but cast-iron
pot, over a small fire, and the only con-
diments are oil and spice Being per-
sonally extremely clean and neat, they
bring the same qualities into their
daily life, and especially their cooking;
hence, though their dishes may be TN
inviting, they are certainly clean.

Christian Missions in Turkey,

1t is astonishing how much attention
is and has for generations past been
paid to Turkey by the Christian
churches of the West. The United
States have WED with Great Britain in
this particular, and there are no more
prosperous missions either in European
Turkey or in Asia Minor than those
which bear the American name. The
following figures will probably beget
something like surprise in the minds of
many of our readers. There are in
the Turkish Empire, as is gathered
from recently-published statistics,
thirty central mission stations, five
colleges for giving ordinary education
and others for theological purposes !;
l2l churches. 400 preaching stations,
900 pastors, teachers and other Chris
tian workers; 10000 regular attendants
at their places of worship, of whom
| 10000 are COMMITMENTS. This is a
very respectable exhibit. But what
are these among so many? The popu-
la'ion of European and cAlsiaticTurkey
is not under-25,D00, ,00Q.
