The Jauanese CapitaI.

Toxic covers an area of 100 square,
miles, but not until 1904 did il begin to
be city. From that time to this, how
ever, it has grown constantly. It is
charming place, and there are many beau
ties to be found within its boundaries-
parks and temples, the one rich in colors
Of flowers, the wonderful chrysanthe-
NUNS (the Mikado's crest) and camellias
fair and faultless as those brought to US
over the sea, the dwarf and grotesquo
cypress growths and the ponds Of bril-
liant goldfish (some two feet long, swim
ming in summer time beneath the broad,
blue-green leaves and pink flowers Of the
lotus. The temples are as rich in color
as tho gardens, and sparkling in gold and
jewels, with carvinge as intricate and
ever different as the very foliage Of the
parks. Here are statues to Buddha Of
colossal proportions, and here the shintu
temples almost devoid Of ornament IN

Asaksa, where the countless white doves
live, are several cocks with tail feathers

green trees, lies at my feet. Here and

mountains Of Hakone, blue and hazy, and
in the distance above all Fuji-no- Yama,
TO the west are gray stone castles with
their towers, the roofs Of which look airy
and inappropriate as covering for such
solid, time-defying structures. Perhaps,
however, even castle does not want to
wear the same hat forever. There are the
trees Of the Ueno Park full Of noisy
crows, which perch upon the head Of Dai

"We have just finished making young lady a
new mouth" said DR.. Fl. r. Allen, of the Ma
tional Surgical Institute, to the reporter.
How did she happen to lose her mouth" in
qured the reporter.
Under the old theory of large doses of Gallo
mel to counterfeit malarial troubles and to re-
generate the everrebellious liver, the scapeeoat
of many ailments this young lady became high
~ salivated. The entire left cheek soughed out to
within an inch of the ear and within half inch
OF the mouth, carrying away both lips, the up
per one to the nose and the lower one to the
chin"
1t was in this condition she came to the Sur
gical Institute, being compelled to feed herself
through the cheek in front of the left ear, and
from there to the front of the mouth, where the
teeth had fallen out, leaving an orifce into the
mouth. The jaws were immovable when she ar
rived at the institute. The first thing in her
treatment was to loosen her jaws so she could
work them; next TO remove the dec8yed and
irregular teeth that were in the way, and lastly
to make cheek and mouth
10 prove that the Surgical Institute had sue
ceeded in doing this, the doctor introduced the
reporter to the young lady. All that it was pro-
posed to do has been accomplished in most sat
lsfactory manner to the patient and her friends.
She now eats like other people, has sound
cheek and mouth, and good lips. Her name is
Nellie ingalls,, and in few days she will leave
for her home at Mount Vernon, this State

meet all current bills and leave balance in the
treasury of $500, and the board unanimously
ordered the acceptance of the loan
