Taking Food in Japan.

.sNew York should have a Japanese
restaurant" said an enthusiastic ori-
entail traveller to a reporter last night.
1T was reported that one would be
opened here soon," was the answer.
Good! Nothing can be more de-
lightful if they give you the genuine
thing. Ever been to Japan?"
No
Il wish you could have taken tiffin
with me at a Jap restaurant in Toxic.
Everything was strange, foreign. ori-
entail. No chairs, no tables, no knives
or forks-I had almost said no plates
When you eat alta japanese restaurant
you sit on amat and wait till a paper
napkin and the chop-sticks are given
you. Neither article is ever used by
any other person. The chop-sticks are
handed to you in a bunch like those
blocks of matches which are nearly
sawn apart You break off two sticks
and keep the block by you in case you
need others.
The food is brought to you in shall
low dishes, on little affair that looks
like stove, and you take both chop
sticks in one hand and use them as a
fork. Ill-bred people lift the bowls
nearly to their chins and eat so fast
that there seems to be an almost un-
broken stream of food from bowl TO
mouth. Well-bred Japs, however, eat
with more deliberation. .n-Neeo York

Railroad Stations in Germany.

The railroad stations all over Ger
many are models of convenience and
pretension. The smallest local train
on a German railway receives a degree
of consideration aud honor that would
stagger the engineers of the Chicago
limited. The railroads are run entire
ly by the government, and everythin g
connected with them shows the i'm
press of military rule. A letter from
Berlin to the New York Suaa says:
''The stations are surrounded by
small parks, in which there are foun-
tains, flowers, and artistically-arranged
hedges. The station building is often
the most pretentious one in the town,
and there is usually attached to it a
large restaurant with several walters
in the conventional claw-hammer
coats. Broad walks made of granite
and marble and relieved from monoto-
ny by designs in mosaic stretch along
on either side, and there is an air of
spick and span brightness about every
thing in sight. As the train draws into
the station the walters stand in an or
derly row at the entrance to the din
ing-room. They have all been soldiers
every man in Germany has served a
number of years in the army, and they
stand in military attitude with their
hands at their sides and their chins up.
Directly in front of the main entrance
stands the captain Of the station. His
rank is indicated by red cap. His
uniform is exceedingly snowy, and Of
ten bloomington the men as a rule
are stalwart and well formed. He
wears high-heeled boots, dark-blue
trousers, relieved by red stripe, q
doubie-breastad military frock coat,
with gold belt and rows of brass but
tons. Ranged behind are the guards,
who are also in uniform. but whose
caps are dark blue. After the train
comes to halt, the chief guard jumps
to the ground and salutes the station
master. Then the other men step for
ward. and the work of loading and un-
loading the train goes on with conven-
tional Teutonic stolidity. 1t is the duty
of one of the guards to walk along the
train and rub all the dust from the
door handles and other brass work, so
that in the course of the journey the
metal becomes brilliantly polished.
When the train is ready for departure
the guards salute the station master
again, and he takes whistle from his
belt and blows it twice. Upon this
another guard, who is stationed Mt the
further end of the platform, rings a
huge bell three times, and then, with
another salute by way of courtesy, the
train moves on its way. This is only
an indication of the military spirit
which pervadcS Germany in every di-
rentinn

Diamond Covered Boots.

Few persons would think of looking
for fresh knowledge in the simple
blackln. of boot; but it is neverthe-
less most interesting subj, ct.
'Did it ever occur to you" said a
chemist, what a remarkable and unique
process the blacking of boot is? You
see, we smear the boot with prepara-
ton of bone-black. whichis entirely de-
void of luster; and then by the friction
of dry brush. make it shine like the
sun. There is not another process
like this anywhere in the arts so far as
| know, and | never read anywhere
any scientific explanation of the pro-
cess. | have theory of my own,
however. which | will give you for
what it is worth.
The key TO the mystery lies in the
fact that diamond is nothing more
than crystalized carbon. The black4ng
is little more than carbon paste, and
the friction of 2 hairbrush being one of
the most efficient methods for generat-
ing electricity has the effect Of crystal
lizing the carbon of the backing As
soon as this is done the boot is covered
with millions of infinitely small dia-
monds, and of course begins to shine
as mass of diamonds would. Of
course this is not perfect e2plana-
ton of the phenomenon. What part
the other ingredients play, and especi-
ally why it is that the backing must
be moistened, | cannot tell; perhaps
some one else can. But | feel pretty
sure that the bootblacks are engaged
in turning blacking into diamonds. D

Facetious John Allen.

One of Aliens best jokes was perpe-
trated on one of his ..hayseed constitu-
ents" who paid a visit to the National
Capital and had Alien show him the
sights. Finally the Congressman took
his delighted friend into the House
gallery and pointed out to him the
distinguished people on the floor be-
low.
..Who is the leader of this house?n
inquired the Mississippian.
''O,n said Allen. modestly, "you will
find out when they call the roll. The
first man on the list is the leader of
the House. They are just now getting
ready for a call"
The Mississippian pricl>ed up his ears
and listened. A moment later tie
Clerk bawled out at the head of the
list:
John NJ. Allen!"- Philadelphia Times.

Old Tonahauqua's Spirit.

In u pretty little neck of wooda
about mile and half back from
Point Chautauqua there is an old but
well-kept farmhouse. in and about
which it is said the spirits of Indian
chiefs and princesses who one day ia
habited the shores of the lake fairly
reyel- The occupant of the house is an
old man, still vigorous, despite the fact
that three score of Northern winters
have combined to silver his hair and
| bend his back until it is almost the
shape of the horseshoe which hang.
over his door as a sacred emblem of
good luck.
According to the Pittsburg Penny
Press, however, it is the spirits that
haunt the little farm house in the
woods that give to Barney Bowman,
the owner of the cabin, his popularity.
Several years ago, when the oil fever
was raging in Northern Pennsylvania
and Southern New York. some capita
lists We're stopping at Point Chautau-
qua. Barney heard them talking about
the prospects of getting oil in Chau-
tauqua County, and offered to show
them where they could strike well
that would flow a lake of the greasy
fluid. He had been sleeping at his
home, he said. when the spirit of an
Indian chief came and beckoned him.
He followed out into the open air, over
the fields and through tile woods many
miles, to where there was a hill in the
midst of big field. There was a
stump on the side of the hill, and under
that stump, far down in the earths
crust, the spirit said that there was
water that would burn. The old man
knew that it was OIL
The capitalists were little dubious
about the story at first, but, after hold
ing consultation, said that theywould
sink well if the place was shown
them. The old spiritualist was much
excited, but he escorted them through
the woods to the scene near the
stump.
A week orsO later the old stump had
disappeared, and in its stead tall,
stately derrick looked skyward Then
the engine came and the drill began to
work. Down through. the sandy soil
and soft rock it wound its way swiftly,
100, 500 LOCO feet; still there was no
sign OF oil, and the prospectors were
commencing to look at each other in
sheepiSh sort of way and murmur
something about meddllng spirits. At
1900 feet, however, the indications
changed, and it was very evident that
a vein OF the greasy fluid was near at
hand.
The excitement grew intense. The
old spiritualist himself could not sleep.
He watched the drill day and night
with a feyerish interest, and when at
last at depth of 1900 feet the oil sand
WAS struck and the well commenced to
gush q hundred barrels day, his de-
light amounted almost to delirium.
The prospectors We're happy. From
the day the well was struck they look
ed on Barney as a sort of supernatural
being-something entirely out of the
ordinary and above the common run
of huma..ity. A purse that was heavy
with gold was presented to the old
man, and his house became the rem
devious for all the oil men of the dis
trict.

Organized Mendicants in Russia.

An illustration of the results of in
discriminate charity is furnished by
facts reported from Russia. 1t seems
that whole villages have resolved
themselves into orders of mendicants.
They stay ut home until they have
Psaped their haryests, and then all
start out on begging tour. They are
divided systematically into guilds Of
ten to twenty persons each. These
scatter here and there, begging
through the towns,and gather at stat
ed intervals to divide their gains and
consult on further operations. The
women take along their children to
excite pity, and the Old draw attention
to their decrepitude. The cash returns
are said to be exceedingly large, and
from the bread gathered they not only
feed themselves, but fatten theirhorses.
n this manner several months of each
year are spent.-.St. Louis Gi05e-D Demo-
erdt.

Moreover, to complicate the miseries
of her situation. she now heard stealthy

Poor Lucy stood quite still, with her

This was 4 burglar, undoubtedly.
He had seen all the male inmates of

The first idea that suggested itself to
her was to creep under the steps and
remain there until Mrs. Collins re-

Ere she had time to do this, however,
a mans form became visible in the dim
semi-twilight that was shed from the
kitchen door above.
Lucy, with a desperate instinct of
selT-preservation, put up both hands,
exclaiming:
Have pity on me! Oh, have pity

Upon this the burglar drew back,
very much surprised.

he struck match. What are you

Now poor Lucy. completely unnerved

Then Mr.. Sangster knelt down be-

face, murmured:

Bad Place For Girls With Bangs.

There are two classes of girls who
are supremely happy at Bar Harbor-
the girl with naturally curly hair
which waves itself into fluffy little
rings and tendrils when the wind blows
in from the sea, and the maiden to
whose cast of features straight bang
is unquestionably the most becoming.
These two are satisfied; they have no
further favors to ask OF Nature in the
matter of coiffure But wo to the
damsel to whom that same tickle fort
une has given straight locks and at the
same time implanted within her breast
a desire to possess by the art of curling
tongs and crimping pins the waving
locks of her more favored sisters. In
her soul there is room for little else
than a deep, dark despair In the
sanctity of her maidenly bower she is
prey to green and yellow melancholy
for she cannot trust herself to 90 on
yachting parties, take late afternoon
strolls along the sea wall. or sit down
on the rocks for one of those pictur-
esque looking tiirtations with youths
in striped flannel suits, lest IN mo-
ment, while she is in the properly senti-
mental mood. and the striped flannel
youth almost up to the critical point,
pOuft comes one of those salt little
breezes, and away goes the work of
hours. / put it to anyone if it would
not be rather damper upon the most
ardent admirer to get into the thick of
Irritation with girl whose bang waves
and curls upon her forehead. and then.
suddenly, while stretched out on the
rocks at her feet, gaze upto find this
same bang hanging limp and straight
as a porcupine's quill. There is liter
ally no medium course to be pursued
in this matter at Bar Harbor. and the
girls may as well make up their minds
to it before they decide to come here.
The place is charming; there is no
question as to that, but it is, neverthe-
less, a place where the straight-haired
girl has got to stand on her own merits
without the aid of an artificially be-
frizZed coiifure. bar Hdrb0r Letter.
