A Meal For Ono Penny.

In Toxic there is n large government
paper-making and money-printing
establishment. where hundreds Of labor
ers and operative are engaged. In
connection with the works there Is an
eating house. where food is supplied to
all who desire to obtain. their meals on
the premises. The scale Of prices for
meal is from penny to 8 pence.
The lowest wages paid Is 6pence day.
All the operatives In this establish
ment are good specimens Of what
Japanese food will do in the way Of
sustaining strength and robust health.
No more healthy set Of men and women
or youths can be seen in any part Of the
world; none more capable Of enduring
the strain and drain upon the system
that continuous labor entails.
Very many Of the draught coolies in
Yokohama have q calf to their leg
measuring seventeen inches and even
larger. the height of the man being not
over five feet and four or five inches.
1t takes good strong food to put such
muscle into the frame Of the human
being. and that Of the Japanese does it.
Doubtless. had not the long centuries
of seclusion from the outside world
compelled the Japanese to marry and
intermarry among themselve as they
have, they would show much tallex
race than they now do.

Beginning to Enjoy Life.

Americans are just beginning to en-
Joy life. We are not quite the sober
and sad-checked race that we once
were. The struggle for existence finds
the people better off than they were
'one and two hundred years ago. There
is more abundance and comfort, less
cold. hunger and exposure, better food,
shelter and clothing. Things can be
enjoyed now which could not even exist
here previously, for both the comforts
and luxuries themselves on one hand
and the margin for expenditure on the
other have increased and come into
being. These have given color and
interest to life.
The religious belief too is more
cheerful. The awful deity of Puritanism
has been supplanted by loving one.
Religion now busies itself more with
good deeds and human sympathies and
less with gloomy introspection. 1t has
gathered . larger faith in the absolute
and Of the substantial victory Of good
over evil which this implies.
Contact with Germans and Jews, who
have migrated to this country and be.
come part of our environment. is
having lis influence. Go to Saratoga
and who among the visitors are having
the most enjoyment? The Hebrews.
Among the work people who are out
for holiday in the park, or the coun-
try. or on the water. the Germans show
the most hearty devotion to the occa-
sion; and neither are the Irish and
other Europeans wanting in this re-
spect.
All these influences of better feed
ing. moro leisure, better religion. a
growing gstheticism, larger incomes
and possibilities of better living gener-
ally. to say nothing of the contagious
example Of the Germans, the Hebrews
and other peoples who know how to
enjoy living, are bringing the people of
this country into q better enjoyment Of
life.-Good HousekeeDino.

what could be the connection between
1t and the bloodthirsty hero of Per-

This question suggested itself to my
mind as the train bore me at full speed
over the waving hills that border the

other found myself unconsciously, re-
hearsing the different scenes, phases
and catastrophes of the childish drama
which grandmothers take such delight
in presenting to their little gaping and
shuddering audiences.

the lamentable reply; No, I see

If you do not understand a thing,

who used to amuse me very much. He
never earned more than fifteen dollars

wife had earned more than he had.
Yet he would grow intensely excited

his plans. though his connection with
it was paying his fare as passenger or
its cars. The firm employing him
would. If managed by him, grow
wealthy in a year, he insisted. Still
the firm dispensed with his valuable
services and were able to conduct busi-
ness. That man had been so busy all
his business life planning affairs with
which he had no connection that he
really had no time to think of his per-

did not know enough TO mind his own

until they find the particular kind OF

young German who was a very popular

He hired out to dig ditch on gen.

to work as a laborer. One day the
gentleman's wife wished box to 20 by

and when she went there the young
German was looking for q pick. The
coachman and gardener had gone

The German laborer asked if he could
assist the lady. and she answered, mo;

young man offered to do it, picking up
the paint brush. The lady was too

Honor Among Thieves.

Mr.. Peters is noted for his presence
Of mind and his influence over his fell

which he sometimes uses to good effect.
The business of the firm which employs

He was wakened in the middle Of the

standing beside him with lantern in

The man turned abruptly and walked
out of the room. Mr.. Peters declares
that he was laughing. No reference to
this midnight visit was made next
morning, and the sample-case was
found untouched; but just as Mr..
Peters was leaving, after paying his
bill. his grim host said. with . GRIM

Don't Rub Tho Eye.

When you get a cinder or speck of
dust or other offensive particle in your
eye, don't rub it. Don't touch it. Don't
pull down the lid. Don't put your hand
near it. Let 1t alone. This is very
hard advice to follow. and in nine cases
out Of ten you will find yourself rub
bing your eye before you know It. But
If you can refrain from touching your
