l4ou.ekeep1ns in sapaa.

A lady writing from Japan says: "House- keeping here has no trials. The worn and vexed spirits of American chatelaines ought to rest in Japan after death. Capable and faithful servants are plenty and cheap. Our establishment boasts five, and for these we pay about what two would cost in New York. I do not visit my kitchen once a month, never give an order outside of a spoken wish, yet the domestic machinery moves with an ease and perfection unattain- able at home by almost any effort on the part of the mistress. The manners of the servants are amusing, not to say startling, to an Am erican accustomed to the cheerful familiarity of her native help. Every night at bedtime oIlr five retainers appear, prostrate them selves in succession to the earth, and retire. This is to wish me good night and to renew their testimony of profound respect and pleasure over the privilege of serving me. It was difficult at first to preserve the necessary dignity for the ceremony, but now l am as majestically gracious as any other potentate.
 The other day, on one of my rare visits to
 the kitchen, 8 hairpin became loosened and dropped without my notice. I had been
 seated in my own room only few moments when my houseman entered, bearing small salver, which he presented to me with many genufeetions Fancy my surprise to see little hairpin upon it, and to learn from my proud but embarrassed servitor that it had fallen to the kitchen floor from my head.
 Afterward I found there had been @ discus sion as to who should pick it up, and almost a quarrel as to whom belonged the inestim- able honor of bearing it to it's owner"

Diamonds vs. FlanneIs.

Washington Dispatch to the Boston Post.
 The hunt for material which can be turned to use on either side in the great telephone contest has brought out some funny reminis- cences from people who are in no way inter- ested in the impending suit. Rogers is well remembered here as having gone about Con his uppers" only few years ago, when the mystery to everyone was how he managed to keep soul and body together. friend of his family says that one day-probably just after he had placed his Pan-Electric stock where it would do the most good-the pale inventor came home with beaming face and buoyant manner, announced that he had ''struck it rich," and told the ladies of the household that they could now go down to leading jeweler's on Pennsylvania avenue and buy as many diamonds their hearts de- sired. One of them, of severely practical turn of mind, answered: ''That's very nice, but I should like first to stop on Seventh street and buy some fannels." The person al history of Rogers, it is said, will afford some of the most spicy features of the con- gressional investigation of the telephone scandal if that inquiry be allowed to go deep enough.

Saying ssGoOd Morning.o


 How much is shown of mans character in the way he says 'good morning." Every body who rises before noon is obliged to give a morning greeting to great many people. It is remarkable how varied are the saluta- tions we receive. One man growls in reply as though he considers himself grossly in suited Another snaps out ''good morning" in way which reminds the nearer of the barking of New Jersey dog. Of course, if a man has a cold that every joint and muscle feels as though it had been sacked by a London mob, he is not to blame if his morning salutation is more like grow1 than benediction. But the man who always grumbles before noon and only grows cheer ful as the day wears on is oppressive. Down with the man who won't say "good morn. ing" as though he meant it. Somebody cries out, ''Give us, O give us the man who sings at his work" If anyone ever gave the author of those lines what he asked for, he doubtless found that "the man who sings at his work" will always say ''good morning in way which does the nearer good. Give us, o give us the men who are good natured in the morning,

Mayor Grace Draw. a Crowd.

BosToN, Feb. 21.-Mayor ". R. Grace of New York lectured in Boston Tn eater to- night before twenty-five hundr ed people on "The Irish in America" The proceeds will go to the Carney hospital fund. The lecturer gave an exhaustive review of the cause of Irish immigration, of the alien, ,sedi- tion and naturalization laws of 1792 and 179S which drove all the Irish into the Demo cratic party, and the native American move ment extending from 1889 to 1855 which kept them there. He deplored the tendency of the Irish to settle in large cities, advocat- ed Irish colonization of farms in the West and gave to Irish Americans assistance the main credit for Parnells success in securing the immediate prospect of Irish home rule.

Medical Examiner White, who has made an investigation into the death of Mrs. Prof. Leonard Waldo, says that the only persons who saw the lady fall down the precipitous face of Pine Rock were Mrs. Fowler, another lady and their driver He is of the opinion that when Mrs. Fowler discovered her and called out to her to wait and hold tight, Mrs. Waldo wss recalled to her senses, as 6 somnambulist would be under similar cir cumstances, and, becoming startled at her perilous petition, relaxed her hold and fell. The funeral of Mrs. Waldo takes place at 2:3O p. m. to-day from the house on Pros pect street.

JohnL. brew in Portland.

PORTLAND, Feb. 21.-John L. Sullivan proved better drawing card last night than Cough, Beecher or Blaine. For twenty-four hours he has been great lion. He was met at the depot by vast crowd which caused the police much trouble, and at the United States Hotel, where he was to stop, another crowd blocked the corridors and stairway SO that the police had to be called. In disgust Sullivan drove to the Falmouth and was giv- en the suite reserved for President Cleve- land at the G. A. R. reunion. Every time he appeared on the streets he was followed by 8 big crowd and finally hid himself in his room, refusing to see callers. After the show last night he was rendered reception and dinner, but declined both.

 boisterous element usually attendant upon such gatherings was present in considerable force, but the presence of the police, of whom there were more than three thousand, dis couraged their inclination to disorder and the meeting, considering the character and size of the assemblage, was comparatively quiet. The speeches, compared with those at Trafalgar Square on the day of the riot, were models of temperate oratory, but they expressed the sentiment which peryaded the entire gathering that the unemployed must have work and the government must provide t
