Every day little chap brings to the
iinrikisha stand in front of the hotel his
little square cabinet, containing fire,
dishes and food, which he sells to the
men. 1t is a kind of macaroni made OF
glutinous wheat. This is ready-cooked
and served in bowls with dish of sauce
made of water, soy, and SHREDDED bonito.
The merchants name is Udon-uri, taken
from the name of the whea. which fur
nishes this kind of food. A good bowl
full costs two sen, equal to about one and
one-half cents, and it forms substantial
midday meal.
Then there is pan-ya, or bread-seller
generally two together. They sell
sweet leavened cakes, like our cookies.
These pan-ya are often dressed in Euro
pean costume, the hat being made of
timed iron, vanished black, the form of
our silk-dress hat. Each carries in front
of him bass-drum, shaped cabinet,
highly colored, the sign "sei-yo-Kws-
Shi" (meaning cakes made in the west)
being painted on the cabinet. Lanterns
and flags hang from the top of the cabi-
net and a large awning-like sunshade
rises up his back, spreading over his head
and looking rudely like rooster's tail.
His cry is "Pan! pan! kimuray no

There is q rush widely distributed
throughout the northern hemisphere;
Its leaves are made into mats in many
regions, but nowhere is it so important as
in Japan, where it is called or igusa,
meaning foot-mat grass. !;
Many a custom and household usage in
Japan IS associated with this plant. Not
only the size of the Japanese rooT, but
the house itself is determined by the floor
mats, as these by law are made of one
size throughout the Empire. They are
six shaku or japanese feet long by three,
shaku wide and one-sixth of shaku
thick. The shaku is 30.33 centimeters.'
The rooms are named according as they
contain four, six, eight or more mats.
These tatami consist of foundation of
rice-straw (wara), closely bound and
braided; over this is a cover of the beau
tifully and finely woven rushes (the igusa). ::
Nothing can be cleaner or sweeter look
ing than floor of this mating raised
slightly above the street with little re-.
cessed-like vestibule where callers or GUS.
toners leave their sandals or wooden
shoes, never stepping on the mat except
in stockings or bare feet.

day, both front and back, all the family
life is seen working, cooking, eating,
sewing, spinning, weaving, all the in

Quoted in every house. All that is
going on is open to the view Of every
passer-by. One has only to make
single step and he can sit down upon the
edge of the raised matted floor. The
babies lie around or play in unconscious
nakedness. A child at least four years
old will stop its play, run to its mother
who, naked to the waist, is busy at some
household work, and he will take a
strong pull at her breast and then go on
playing again.
The butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker, all work in their houses
open to the street, pursuing their trades
entirely unconscious of clothing, save a
small white cloth wrapper about the
body.

Orchards in Old Mining Camps.

One of the curious results of the decay
of placer and hydraulic mining in the
foothill region is the development of
orchards where it was once thought the
only valuable thing the earth produced
was gold. In Butte, Yuba, Amador, El
Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Calaveras,
Stanislaus and Tuolumne-the seat of the
richest early placer mining-the chief In
dustry now is fruit-growing. These
steep foothills, which were once looked
upon as worthless, are now being planted
to vines and the choicest fruits. 1t is
found that this land, which has received
for ages the wash from the tops of the
mountains, possesses some peculiar prop
critics in which the richer valley soil is
deficient. For choice European wine
grapes it is unsurpassed, and for all kinds
of fruits it is specially fitted. as it gives
a flavor that can never be gained on the
irrigated land. An old miner who has
worked in any of these counties fancies
he is dreaming when he revisits his old
haunts. When he left, the places where
he had worked presented good subject
for a picture of the abomination of desc
lation The hydraulic miner literally tore
up the surface of the earth and left as
complete destruction in his path as an
army that intrenches itself against attack.
Wherever he worked hills were laid low,
and great unsightly pits yawned where he
removed the pay dirt clear to the bed
rock. In other places great ugly heaps
of gravel and cobble stone showed the
fruits of his activity. Nature, however,
has been kind, and charsrral covers most
of these SCARED fields, while others are
smiling with orchards and vineyards. II

Crows Attack an EAGLE,

A gray eagle which had its nest in the
Fishkill Mountains, N. Y, has been seen
to alight several times in the asylum
grounds, Fishkill, presumably in search
of prey. A great flock of crows had
chosen that locality as feeding ground
and resting place, and they evidently
looked upon the advent of the eagle as
an intrusion. The crows apparently de-
cided to give the majestic bird to un-
derstand that it was poaching. At any
rate it is fact that dozen or more of
the crows attacked the eagle while it was
soaring over Rogers's fields and put it to
fight.
The battle lasted half an hour or more.
The crows which did not participate
kept circling around and around the COM
batants and cawing necessarily. The
fight was witnessed by several persons who
picked up many blood-stained feathers
from the ground New York ReraM.

HENRY SMITH, of Brook Center,
Conn.,, was in the highway on his way
to his days work in the fields when he
suddenly beheld in the road what
seemed to him curious circus. A
blacksnake, six-footer, was curled on
the ground, but instead of having a
head, as the serpents Mr.. Smith had
been familiar with all had, this snake
seemed to begin and end in tails.
Eager to know the mystery of his
queer construction, if possible, Smith
picked up stone and hurled it at the
strange reptile. He didn't hit him, but
the mystery came apart in the middle.
The big black fellow had swallowed
about half of another one that was
nearly as large, and of the same spe-
cies, but instantly he disgorged him
when the stone struck the ground.
Both snakes were lively and slipped
into the roadside wall before the man
could find another missile.
