Now Evidence 81 Ohicage Depravisy.

Now Evidence 81 Chicago Depravity.
From the Chicago Mail
The caterer OF one OF the leading restaurants In
the city says that fewer oysters have been eaten
this season than any he has known for some
years. 81 know Of nothing" he continued. I'm
the eating line that has had longer run than the
oyster, but at last the American appetite seems to
be repudiating 1t. OF course, you will always ind
blue poi It's on the banquet bills OF fare, and at
receptions and 50 on Dut the OYSTER on the whole,
Is on the wane In fact, the epicurean taste IL on
the alert for something new from one end OF the
bill to the other. HOLSTERS are not what they
were but The clam is about the same. 1t is the
same with other things. Take breakfast, for in
stance In winter IL used to be the epicurean
to have buckwheat cakes and golden syrup. But Il Is
very seldom that any OF the ton calls for that
now. Mince pie used TO be the pastry par excel
lence with US, just as English plum pudding Is In
England. We now have less call for mince than
any other pastry. Apple dumping, with hard or
wine sauce, Is the favOrite and sherbets and ices
are In demand the entire season. can remember
the time when a fish dinner was considered quite
the thing, but We seldom hear OF it any more
Roast beef Is the standard In meats, and that re-
minds me that we now get as good roast beef in
Chicago as you can get anywhere. 1t was not
always so. few years ago you had to divide
your salary with the cuisine TO get cut OF beef
that you could eat l don't know what We are
coming TO. but can see a disposition to want
something new. In a few years the oyster will he

Japanese POliteness.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
The men Of Japan are always excessively polite
to one another They bend their backs and bow
their heads and put their two hands back to back
between their knees and have a great time. But
The most amusing thin is 100 see two old ladies
In Japan meeting one another on the street. The
st rect is empty, Wen saw and they catch sight of
ope another three or four blocks apart. They i'm
IN ediateiy begin 10 make ODeisance at one another
and they keep bending and bowling at short inter-
walls until they come together, WIN they make
that peculiar hiss by drawing In the breath and
keep on saying "Ohayo" for about two minutes.
The young things, the "MoOsmais," are very
charming and graceful In their greeting OF one
other, but the old ladies are ornate and ell bOrate
In their address. And the language has been
framed with view to the necessities OF pOlitenesS
and OF difference In rank. "Are," with the accent
on the e. Is the verb to be. II you are talking TO
cOolle, somebody very much be.Ow you, 'are" Is
goOi enough for sis" II you are talking to one
a little below you, or you wish 10 be polite TO an
underling, you use "arilnas" II you are ON for
NAL terms with an equal, you say "gozarimas, T"
and when you address man high above you In
rank make it ''gozarimasuru." It's an elastic
language and pulls out To almost any length
