while the team Is almost altogether composed Of young
players, the men expect to hold their own with the
crack clubs OF Massachusetts which they viii meet

 Bursting wf n Glacier Dam.

The Marjelen lake. which lies at the foot of the Eggischhorn. in the upper Valais, had burst the glacier dam which lay across the valley. aud spreading over the glacier. poured black mass of mud. stones and broken ice into the Rhone below. Fortunately there was little water in the river at the time, otherwise the consequence might have been very calamitous for the people of the upper Valais. A peasant who was close to the lake at the time declares that the scene was most terrible and indescribable- When the ice jam gave way the vast mass of water came tum- bling out sweeping away the huge fragments of she glacier, with the rocks upon 1t. tumbling into the crevasses. bursting them up in turn. and rising over the glacier in gigantic waves, again to carry all before it.
 Just al the end of the glacier the valley had narrowed into \ little dcfile, while the face of the glacier was some hundreds of I t high. The water seemed to have tunneled under the ice. which. attacked above and below. gave way at last with deafening crash. while the flood hurried down the mountain side into ths Rhonc. The lake was nearly 5000 feet above the sea level. and usually discharged it's surplus water by subterranean chan nels. occasionally bursting it's ice bar riers. as on the present occasion.

The Perverse Japanese.

Located as thev are on the other side of the earth. what wonder is it that the Japanese should do things in fashion l that looks contrariwise to use At any rate this is. indeed. ths case and 1 will cnumerate T few illustrations of the topsy-turvey way in which they do things in that remote and remarkable i land. The Japanese books begin upon the page where our books end; the page which we call the title page they utilize for the colophon or tinis. In the superscription of letter the Japanese begin with the name of the country to which the letter is to he sent; then follows the city, then the local address. and. finally. the name of the receiver. thus: America. Illinois Chicago. ll2 Jones street. Smith. John. This. after all. makes an easier job for the Post Office employees - this descent from the general into the par ticular.
 In Japan babies are carried not in the arms but upon the back. Etiquette compels the removal of the shoes rather than the dolling of the hat. Boats are stranded with their sterns instead of their prows, on the shore. Instead of saying northeast or south west, the Japanese say east-north or west-south. Wine is always drunk be- fore. not after dinner. and sweets are served before the substantial viands of meal. In all books the foot notes occur at the top of the page; keys turn to the left. carpenters plane toward the body instead of outward. aud in cash accounts the figures are written first and the corresponding item next The Japanese mount the horse from 1 tho right side, the harness Is fastened in all parts on that side. and the mane is brushed and made to grow that way. In his stall the horse is placed with his head outward aud his food is always served at the stable door from tub. In Japan women fall in love with actors, but never man with an actress. Among Japanese women the penchant is to sew on laces. euifs. and frills topsy- turvy and wrong side out Chicaye | Astry

rrAits Which EaHbls fh-m to siss Vyp
 Customers at . Glance.

''I suppose that the average run oi people think that waiter does not know anything beyond the knowledge which leads him to serve the fruit be- lore the entree or the tutti frutti in advance of the demi tasse." said an in- telligeut French waiter in a down-town restaurant the other day to "A N. Y. Herald man.
 Yet, as matter of fact" he con- tinued. we do notice every little detail about people who seat them. selves at the tables apportioned to us sy the manager of our restaurant. The reason we do so is because by this practice of sizing up our guests we can generally tell how it is best for us to 20 to work in order to get fee out of them or to discover that we are likely not to get any fee at all
 You sec II we come to the latter conclusion there is no use of our vast ing time on them, as we can put it to a much greater advantage by letting them wait, while we hurry the orders of betrer-paying customers.
 We are not afraid of any con- plaints which they make 10 the head waiter. because while we give up free ly to him we can never get into any serious trouble. Besides he would only listen to complaints that came from habitues, and as they always fee us well. they are always we'll looked after.
 How can we judge people at a glance? We'll. I'll tell you. sir. You sec, in the first place people from the country or those not used to city restaurants always enter the room with q kind of an uncertain air.
 Suppose it is young man who is going to buy lunch for his girl. If he is not used to the business he looks doubtful and unhappy He does not know what to do with his hat and hesi- tates in choosinga table. and very like ly will end by putting his hat ou the floor when he takes his seat. and his girl will invariably take her place be- side him instead of on the opposite side of the table. as she should
 Then, in studying the menu, he is apt to look at the prices first, and it is apparent that all the French names in 1 the list are so much Greek to him. The ! result is that his order is of most in- congruous nature. and would make any but well-traincd waiter smile iu | spite of himself. There is no money tor the waiter in people like that.
 "The city man is different. At & glance he sees which available table has the best location and instnctiyely chooses one as far from the kitchen aud as near a window as possible. He always knows. too, exactly what he wants. and will often order without looking at the menu at all.
 Still. city meu often make me tired by insisting in talking French to me. have been in this country twenty years. my wife is an American, and speak English perfectly. yet some of my customers insist on giving all their orders in French that sometimes makes my hair fairly curl.
