THE FIRST JAPANESE EMBASSY.



TobRcco-Couches-On the Roof
The first japanese embassy. which came
to Washington during the administra-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan. naturally created
a great sensation. The ambassadors,
with Their numerous attendants. wore the
Japanese costumes, and they adhered, so
far as was possible, to their home cos
tunes. Among the under officers" were
an artist and u historiographer of the
embassy, who were attached to the am
bassadors. The artist was Yorsida Sa-
gosagemon, whose quick and searching
eye took in all around him at a glance.
and his sketches of all the ceremonials
were excellent. Matsmoto Sannojio, the
-historiographer, about 80 years old, was
plain and sedate, thinking twice before
speaking once. The doctors were all
young men, whose heads were shaven
to the quick according to the usage of
the profession in Japan. They were
often taken for Buddhist priests or
monks, who observe the same practice.
These young doctors, though courteous
n quiet, seemed less intelligent and in
quisitive than any class of their country
men among the visitors, and evidently
commanded no respect from them.
The four highest dignitaries ate in
private, but the others joined the naval
board OF officers at a table which had
been set for them in the "tea-roomn of
the hotel. where they had meals served
at s a. m, at o at s p. m, and again
at 8. Their f~avorite dish was rice. boiled
soft, which was served at every meal.
Chickens fried, then boiled in the rice,
ham, oysters. fried fish, amelettes and
scrambled eggs, chicken salad, potatoes,
egg-plants. tomatoes, peas and other
vegetable, hard boiled eggs cut up in
vinegar, with icc-creams, preserved
fruits and confectionery, formed the
bill Of fare. They drank green tea,
rather fancied champagne, and the
younger ones would slip into a room and
enjoy a julien. Alas, for newsgatherersi
as they iinbibed and became loquacious,
they forgot their English and grew COM
municative in unintelligible Japanese.
After a meal they repaired i'll groups
to their rooms, into which servants
brought small copper furnaces, con-
tanning ignited charcoal. Squatted
around this, they filed the tiny brass or
silver bowls of their reed pipes with
strong native tobacco, and exhausted it
in three or four whiffs. The same pro-
cess was repeated two or three times.
after which maps were INDUCED in. They
didn't fancy sleeping on a bed, preferring
an imitation of their thick sleeping
mats, %improvised with blankets. Their
pillows were bits Of wood. which kept
the head in place and preserved
the hair from being disarrange1. Their
habits were clearly. They bathed once
n day and were frequently shaved, an
operation which they liked to have per-
formed on the house-top. Indeed, al
though not II of them had beer ont
side Of the hotel, except on state oc-
c%asions, they had explored the establish
ment, and seemed to prefer the roof.
When on the evening of their arrival, a
waiter mounted the ladder which led
from the roof to the top of the cupola 10
lower the flag, he was startled at finding
four japanese perched there.-Ben: Per-
ley Poore in Boston Budget.

IL want to show you a new and wonder
living thing that arrived at the garden
lately, y said Head Keeper Byrne. as he
led the way to the snake-house the other
day. The new arrival is about as horri-
Bile and yet as dandified a looking fellow
as can he found on the banks of the
%Schuylkill. He is in a glass case. 1t is
the iguana, aspecies of the lizard family,
and was forwarded to the garden by the
commissioners of fisheries of Massachu-
sets, with the request that when he dies
his body shall be sent to the Smithsonian
institution at Washington. The ignana
does not look much like dying, although
the only n of its kind that was ever
previously brought to this country died
the dav he was brought TO the geological
garden, some years ago. HIS body is a
drab color, mixed with black streaks.
His neck and head are erect; he has a
long tail like an alligator. and four paws
which spread out fiat upon the sand in
his warm cage just like a lizards Feet
Sticking out from the center OF his back,
from the head all the way down towards
the tail, is a row of black bristles. which
stand erect and do 10 look as il they
would make a person comfortable who
would have the temerity to sit down
upon them.
THE most wonderful thing about the
iguana is his appetite" said Mr.. Byrne.
"He eats the most delicate and choicest
n'wers, and n white rose is the sweetest
morsel that we have yet found for him.
He eats it with %avidity." Mr.. Byrne

a person who is struck by lightning
never feels any pain. He hasn't time to
