VCdgcd About with Ceremony.

There is good deal OF ceremony OBJ
served about u royal progress in Japan,
as witness the following regulations pub
lished for the guidance of the people
when the empress recently visited tho
city Of Osaka: "When her majesty shall
pass along no one must look at her from
the frame built on houses for tho drying
of clothes, or through cracks in doors, or
from any position in the upper portion
of their houses. IF anybody wishes to
see her majesty he or she must sit down
at the side of the road by which her
majesty will pasa. No one must look at
her majesty without taking off his hat,
neckcloth or turban, or whatever else he
may be wearing on or about his head.
Moreover, no one must be smoking while
he or she is looking at her majesty, nor
must any one carry stick or cane. Only
women wearing foreign clothes will be
permitted to retain their head covering.
Although ii may rain, no person will be
allowed TO put up an umbrella while her
majesty may be passing. AS her majesty
passes no one must raise his voice, nor
must any sound be heard, nor must the
crowd close in and follow her carriage,
for no noise must bo made. When her
majesty reaches Umeda station there
will be discharge of fifty fireworks

SUMMER HOUSE WHERE IRVING WROTE

SUMMER HOUSE WHERE IRVING WROTE.
above. The peculiar position Of the
building also illustrates the eccentric
ideas Of Cockloft, who was determined
to have all his views on his own land
and be beholden to no man for pros
pect, so he placed the door of his sum-
mer house ON the side toward the water,
while the windows all looked inland"
Mr.. Nevcrs has in his possession n
copy of the "Salmagundi Papers ole
of the third edition. II contains some
very curious illustrations which have
not been reproduced in later editions.
There is picture Of Pindar Cockloft in
oil the glory of flowered waistcoat, knee
breeches and aqueue, and one Of Barbara
Cockloft in long WASTED silk gown, be-
furbelowed and becuiied, waltzing with
gallant. The fashion Of this dance in
those days was to skip one way and then
to jump another, and the illustration
does ample justice TO the step.
The picture of Cockloft manor ac-
companying this article shows the house
as it was originally built, with the ex-
ception Of the conservatory. The reader
must note well the sturdy cherry tree
which is frequently mentioned in the
descriptions of Cockloft manor.
IAN old English cherry tree leans
against corner of the hall, and
whether the house supports it or it sup
ports the house would be question Of
some difficulty TO decide. The tree has
long since ceased bearing and Is exceed
ingly infirm." This is Irving's descrip-
ton of the old tree, which about two
years ago was blown down.

But nothing, in q general way, is more
calculated to display the average man as
ahypocrite than the ceremony Of intro
duction. While walking alo"g the
street Brown and Jones run across Rob
inson, who is friend of Brown. The
latter says: "Jones, l want you to know
Robinson, and the two shake hands and
express mutual delight at meeting. They
separate after an exchange of civilities
and then Jones explodes with some such
protest MS this: "Brown, why did you
introduce me to that Internal scoundrel'
It's enough to blast mans business
reputation to be seen talking to him, "
And the two argue, perhaps to the
border of quarrel, and coolness is sub
stituted for the cordial intimacy of
years
Recently, however, o man gained dis
tinction by refusing to be a party to one
OF these "snap shot" iIitroductions that
bring down victim before he is exactly
aware what is going to happen. His
name is Isaac Ii. Bromley, and although
he has achieved honorable position by
able work there is possibility that
'utnre generations will know of him
chiefly for the reason that he declined to

house are still spacious, but in Irvings
time they extended to what is now
Belleville avenue at the rear and sloped
down to the Passaic river in front.
On the bank Of the river was tho
summer house. which was octagonal in
shape, about eighteen feet in diameter,
containing only one apartment, with a
door facing the river on the east and
having windows opening toward each of
the other three cardinal points. II was
built of stone and had been originally
weather boarded. 1t was constructed
with great care, The walls We're plas-
tered and papered, there was IN orna-
mental cornico and chair board and an
arched doorway and cut stone steps.
Near by was fish pond, which Irving
accounts for as follows: "Mr. Cockloft
thought there was nothing like hav-
ing things to ones self, and there
foro ho blew mp large bed of
rocks for the purpose Of having
fish pond of his own, although the
river ran about 100 yards distance from
tho house and was well stored with fish,
and he would have summer house built
on the margin Of the fish pond, he would
have it surrounded with willows and
elms, and he would have cellar dug
under it, and there tho bottles were kept
that were wont to surrender their exhil-
arating contents at the summons Of the
occupants of the comfortable apartment

DIDN'T WISH TO KNOW JOHN l..
conspicuous few whom their fellows of
narrower light and smaller range of
vision call "cranks." But there is no
need Of being either liar, a cynic, or
crank The exigencies Of modern life
demand neither falsehood, sarcasm nor
the humiliation of the race through the
celibacy that Tolstoi advocates, They
only require TO be met with that rare
but always admirable quality-moral
courage. II is better to refuse u man u
position decidedly than to leave him on
the ragged edge Of hope by saying:
"There may be something after a while;
leave your address. and if anything turns
up I'll let you know"
1t is far preferable to meet an unwcl-
come request for loan with direct
negative than to dodge the issue with
the remark: ~ haven't the money now,
but drop in day after tomorrow and
perhaps can help you." In both cases
polite evasion is substituted for a straight
forward mo-" and as a result the seeker
after employment or cash keeps drop
ping around" until the patience Of all
parties to the affair is worn out and a
basis established for life long enmity.

"And does my father know-oh. does

burning in her eyes; but this feeling
passed instantly. "Ah, no! nor she
sighed, "he can not have heard it."
"He don't bullieve hit, honey. En-

''Then shall inquire into this matter
myself" said Missy, with decision.
Don't you go SEN no word, Missy;
dat ain no way fur you ter do"
The habit of submission to Nom Bees
rebuke was not yet extinct in Missy's
breast; she blushed, she sighed, she
wrung her hands in angry impatience,
but she did not insist. "What then am
l to do:" she cried.
'Ain't l done tor you lows ter git

But Glory-Ann was obdurate. There
was a certain distinction in being a
visitor at Thorne Hill, and this old lady
of color was disposed to make the most
of it.

HAD l But KNOWN!

The next day came Lottie and Bess,
with their grandmother; like Nom Bee,
they came in "A hired hack, for Mrs.
Herry had been glad to sell her carriage
and horses.
Cousin Myrtilla looked old and worn,
the more SO, perhaps, that she no longer
indulged in the coquetry of dress. Her
granddaughters were Soung ladies now,
and it taxed her straitened resources to
the utmost to furnish their simple ward
robes. But Lotto and Bess carried light
hearts in spite of empty purses. They
rejoiced over Missy, and they rejoiced
also over her New York outfit. These
sisters had gloried in wearing homespun,
but now that the war was over they were
not proof against the attractions Of silks
and velvets, and Missy's pretty dresses
offered such brilliant suggestions for
making over certain old flnery their
grandmother had stored away.
But the cut of a sleeve, the adjustment
OF flounce, could not rivet Missy's in.
terest while her heart was burning to
learn whether, by any chance, her cousins
knew anything Of the stranger who had
met Nicholas.
"Oh, take all the things home with
you" she said, impatiently. "But tell

know anything about II stranger from

forth the information Glory-Ann had
given her.
Lottie and her sister exchanged glances,
but did not speak
"You are keeping something from
me-" cried Winifred.
"He was in the Yankee army" said
Bess, with chilling brevity. 1--WE don't
know him. And again her eyes sought
her sisters.
"But about his meeting with Brer
Nicholas" persisted Missy.
"Well, Missy, you know if cousin
Jasper don't concern himself about it,,
there is no reason why we should said
Lottie, and she would have talked Of
something else; for her cousin Nicholas
had long ago faded out of her interest so
completely that she could not divine the
strength and the fervor of Missy's de7o-
tion. But Missy would not allow tine
subject to lee dismissed.
"What is his name2" she asked.
"Why should l trouble myself about
his name" said Lot,ie, impatiently.

the new part of the old town Of Franklin,
place that celebrated it's centenary be-

has sprung up within the past four or
five years, the land belonging in part to
the Stewart and Satterlee estates. 1t is q
picturesque spot. The Orange mountains
are in sight; there are bold rocks and
sloping plains. and the Yantacaw river
meanders through the fertile valley.
Mr.. Bunner has lived in Nutley three
years. His house is an extremely pleas

THE WHEEL.

A bicycle racing man predicts that In the
future the ordinary, or high wheel, will bs
entirely superseded by the low wheel, or
safety for racing purposes. Not only are
falls less dangerous on n low wheel, ous
the friction OF the gear wheels Is being 80
reduced that more speed will be obtained
by the average rider on the low wheels
The safeties were sather ridicnied when
they first came out.
Bicycle riding is becoming SO prevalent,
and the speed through city streets with the
use of safeties having been considerably
increased, that press criticisms on reckless
riding have been written in journals In
several large cities of the United States.
Riders feel comparatively at ease on q
safety machine, and these have been i'm
proved so lately that their use is exceeding
the expectations OF those who at first tried
SO hard TO make known their good points.
