Football in ,Japan.


'There is really nothing new in football"
explained much Travelled man to group of
friends as they went out to the Polo grounds.
''The game has been played in Japan for
thousand years. But there were some differ
ences of detail in the rules. They couldn't
play the Rugby game, don't you see, because
when they began there wasn't any Rugby.
"The japanese game was sadly effete. You
can learn all about it In the Ogasawara code
of manners, the standard japanese book of
etiquette. 1t was a favorite sport of the
court exquisites, who surrounded the milzado
in the days when he was kept in a glass case,
so to speak, in his palace at Kioto, as too
sacred to be seen by ordinary mortals.
''The ball was dainty thing of cotton,
and it was kicked around a neat kept lawn
by the gentlemen while the ladies sat on the
verandas of the palace, and applauded and
sang songs and composed poetry. There
wasn't any 'tackling' or sscrimmages' or gore.
If any of the gentlemen kicked the ball off
the lawn one of the other players would pick
it up on his fan-for they all played with
fans in their girdles for use in case they grew
warm with the exercise-and would hand it
back to the kicker with compliment.
"Whenever the gentlemen became tired
they stopped playing and went back into the
palace, were the ladies were, and had tea.
You see, the Japanese game was rather diff
ferent from ours.
"When was in Yokohama I asked g. JAP
anese gentleman to go with me to see foot
ball match between two teams chosen from
the foreign residents. He accepted my invi-
tation and then read up the rules Of the game
in his copy Of the Ogasawara code, so as to
commit no indecorum as spectator When
we got to the ground the match was already
in progress, and in the middle of the field
we saw group Of furious, half naked, hairy
foreign devils clinging around one strug-
Cling foreigner, who was trying desperately
hard to get away with round bundle under
his arm.
Shades of Yorotomir exclaimed my
companion. Where are the policei See
that desperate thief trying to escaped And
they will kill him! They have him down
now and are stamping on himl 1t is dread
fulp
GAS soon and as well as I could explained
to him the Rugby game; but, with Oriental
conservatism, he said, after it was all over
and the players had Imped home, that he
preferred the rules of Ogasawara. New

Heat Versus Food.

"Why do you keep it so blazing hotg' in
quired patron of the proprietor yesterday
as he entered a restaurant because it is
cold outside, replied the proprietor. After
the patron had left the premises the restau-
rant proprietor confdingly made the follow
ing confession to a newspaper man: s'You
see, I've been in this business for quarter Of
a century, and my experience has taught mo
that under ordinary circumstances men de-
your more food at single meal in piercing
cold weather than when the outside tempera-
ture is moderate. When I first embarked in
the eating house business I was green enough
to economic in wood for heating the prem
Uses, imagining was thereby saving money,
but I soon discovered my mistake, as the
patrons of my restaurant devoured such in
ordinate quantities of food in winter that
bankruptcy stared me in the face. 1t was
here I learned a lesson from a cook, and
through which have since acquired q snug
fortune. Ny cook ate barely enough to sus-
tain life in canary bird, and inquired the
cause of his lack of appetite He replied that
1t was due to his being constantly employed
about hot fire, and remarked that if I
would keep my restaurant red hot in winter
my boarders would not consume one-half the
amount of food. I tried the experiment, and
soon found that whereas 1 had heretofore
saved probably $40 a month in fuel by half
freezing my boarders, that was saving at
least twenty cents e meal in the decrease in
the amount of food each one consumed while
the premises were kept red hot."-Virginia

The FOOLS Nimble sixpences,

Some clever rascal in London advertised
that he would, on receipt of sixpence in
stamps, return to the sender one shilling.
The advertisement was published promi-
nently enough to attract considerable atten-
ton, and it naturally excited remark. To
most persons it seemed a very transparent
humbug, too silly to be called fraud, but
there were few curious individuals who de-
termined to see whether the advertiser was a
crank or whether he had some game, so they
sent on their sixpences. By return mail each
one received the shilling. A few days after
the same advertisement appeared again in
several of the newspapers and everybody
who had tried it before told all of his friends
about it. The result was that several hun
dred sixpences were received, and next day
as many shillings went back. The third time
the advertisement appeared the mail received
by the clever sharper was simply enormous.
Letters came from all parts of the kingdom
and from all sorts of of people, high and low,
rich and poor. The rogue pocketed several
thousands of pounds, and, curiously enough,
neglected to make any returns.-The Argo-l

In lis annual report the Secre- tary of the Interior, speaking of the Indian question, favors tie abandonment of reservations and a general allotment law. He says that the entire extent of territory now in a state of reservation for Indian purposes, including all portions of tho Indian Territory. whether in fact occupied or unoc- cupied by Indians, Is 112,4l3,440 acres; being equivalent to an av
 craze of 456 acres for each Indian, computed on the last reported number of the total population, including those estimated as out side the reservations. Of this area, about S1,O2O,129 acres are within the scope of the general allotment law of 1887, and afford an average for the population re- siding upon such lands, amount ing to 173,9S5, of about 465 acres to each. It will be seen that, by the general allotment law and breaking up of the reservations, a wide area of the public domain will be opened for settlement. The other statistics derived from the annual reports of the various h. dian agents disclose that, not in- cluding the five civilized tribes of the Indian Territory and the New York Indians, there are 27,394 en- gagged more or less in civilized pursuits: IT, ,203 houses are occu- pied; 26,223 Indians speak the English language; 62,625 wear the dress of our civilization wholly; 251, ,S5S acres of land have been cultivated; 2i2,6 ,657 rods of fencing built; 2,674.000 feet of lumber sawed; 93,0S2 cords of wood cut; S3,426 pounds of butter made, and that there have been harvested 727,S49 bushels of wheat; 600,203 bushels of oats, barley, and rye; 1,306,961 bushels of corn, and 129,171 tons of hay: and that the Indians possess 417,32S horses, ponies and mules; 12S.766 cattle; 40,3I3 swine, and S60,336 sheep.

Senator Butterworth has intro duced a resolution Tn congress looking to the annexation of Can ada. This question Is attracting considerable attention on both sides of the line, and may at an early day be an important politi- cal issue. In leading editorial discussing the question, the Balti- more Herald says: "The indica- tions are that it will at no remote period be made party cry in the hope of creating a large and en- thusiastic sentiment for union with Canada on this side of the line. Indeed, this sentiment is all ready growing and has assumed such proportions that annexation with Canada is now worthy of thoughtful consideration and can did discussion"
