The Tea Hnnses of Janan.

Mousmees, rickshaws and tea houses
are the three institutions one associates
with Japan. Kipling has made the rick
shaws hardly more of phantom than
the three-horse car, while Sir Edwin Ar
mold and Pierre Lott have pictured the
gentle mous1nee with such exquisite
finish that people ignorant of the mean
ing of the word few months back are
in love with her quaint beauty and raw
ishing smiles.
Tea houses are simply inns or restau-
rants where the principal refreshment
(often the only one) is tea. In the cities
they are the favorite evening resorts, for
there you can hire the gaudy Geisha
girls to dance and sing or play the samo-
sin and koto between the intervals of
love making. She is a mistress of this
art. Nara, one of the most beautiful
places in Japan, has no other accommoda-
ton, and notice must be sent the day be
fore to tell the owner how many guests
he is to accommodate.
Rickshaws laden with supplies start a
few hours ahead, the coolies who draw
them acting as cooks and house servants
during your stay. Slowed in these use
full vehicles is all you require and
the utensils for cooking and eating it.
The teahouse supplies nothing but chop
sticks, fresh eggs and rice. The little
teahouse at Nara was like white parch-
ment box with wooden corners, and
stood in the shade of a crystomoria
grove. In the heat of the day the parch-
ment walls disappear mysteriously into
the wooden corners; then the entire
house looks like a platform, with high
wooden corner posts, raised few feet
frsm the ground, covered with dazzling
white mating. q Week.

Frankfort,s System of Banks.

Of all the schemes designed for small
savings and to encourage the poor to lay
by small sums the penny savings stamp
system, established in 1882 at Frankfort
on-the-Main, is the most unique. Frank
fort is distinguished among European
cities by the large average wealth of its
citizens, and by its exceptional pro1ni-
nence in all that pertains to banking
and finance. Many great banking fami-
lies had their origin in Frankfort, from
which branches have been established
at Paris, London, Vienna and New York.
There are today not less than 200 bank
ing houses, public and private, in the
city. 1t might naturally be expected,
then, in view of these facts, that some
original features in the line of savings
banks should be found there.
The Frankfort Savings bank is pri-
vate corporation established in 1928,
nearly seventy years ago, when Frank
fort was free city and independent of
all state allegiance and control. 1t be-
gan with 294 depositors, with s6,934
marks to their credit In 1889 there
were 56,697 depositors, with an aggre-
gate capital of 3S,215, ,697 marks, the re-
ceipts and Withdrawals that year being
6,319,276 and 5,151, ,602 marks respec-
lively.
There are three departments connected
with this institution. The Savings De-
posit bank, which comprises a central
Office and two branches in different parts
of the city; the Weekly Savings bank,
a separate bureau, under the same man
agement, but differing from it in that it
collects from each depositor a stated
weekly deposit, and the Penny Savings
institution, which is adapted to the
methods of the humblest class of depos-
itors, whose savings are limited to a few
pennies per day or week.-New York
Recorder.

An Epidemic of Bloody Flux.

of Waltersburg, and told them the stu
alton; they said: Give Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy;
that they had sent out several hundred
bottles into the infected district, and
'every day we hear how this medicine is
curing them; so far we have not heard
of its failing in single instance" l

good effects, and cure was the result;

/ ONE OF THE FIRST PIANOS MADE.
Interesting History of an Old Musical In
strument That Has Travelled.

| Interesting History of an Old Musical In
| strument That Has Travelled.
In music store on Third street, be
tween Marion and Columbia, there is al
old piano which attracts much attention.
The old musical instrument is of the
upright style and is in a fair state OF
preservation, though it is nearly one hun
dred years old. 1t has keyboard with
white keys for the regular notes, and
black keys for the sharps and fats, just
like the pianos of today. These, when
deftly touched, cause the ancient instru-
ment to discourse most eloquently.
No one could tell its great age by hear
ing it played on Its tones are still har-
monious and tuneful, though, of course,
it cannot be compared with the best
pianos of today, when volume or modula-
ton of tone is considered. Its front is
ornamented with wooden scrollwork,
behind which is crimson cloth of fine
texture. The frame on which the strings
are stretched is of wood, while the frame
of the modern piano is of iron. The
double row of keys is followed to this
day, and the interior construction is
much the same as in vogue at present.
The fact that the ancient instrument
is in such good state of preservation is
a high tribute to the old time piano
makers. They built their instruments to
last. This is said not to be the case with
many of the present piano manufacturers.
The superannuated instrument has an

Century had counted off but three years
when it was bought by an English gen
tleman for his family of the makers, ].
& j. Hopkinson, of Regent street, Lon
don. 1t was made in the year 1902 and
sold in 1903. 1t passed as an heirloom
from one member of the family to an
other until it came into the possession of
a branch that left London for America
in the year 1854. The voyage was made
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe.
During the voyage heavy gale was en-
countered, and the piano was washed
overheard with other things, but was
finally fished out of the briny ocean.
The family that brought the instru-
ment to America settled at Victoria, B.
T., and they passed away one Dy one
until only two sisters were left. Finally
one Of these died and the other became
insane with grief. Then it became nee
essary to administer on the estate of the
sisters, and the piano was sold by order
of the probate court. The instrument
then fell into the hands of gentleman
named johnson, who resided in Victo-
ria
In 1869 Mr.. johnson sold the instru-
ment to gentleman who had it in his
possession for the past twenty-five years.
During that period it has been at Port
Ludlow, Olympia, WILDLY Island and
Seattle. Once it was in fire, in which
$1,000 damage was done, and it was
saved. 1t was moved from Seattle to
Victoria twice. Finally the last owner
traded it off for an instrument of mod
ern make. giving good boot. Seattle

king. His servants came in to open his
window curtains at or Z in the morn
ing. He breakfasted in bed, read the
morning newspapers through, transact
ed what business was brought to him
and then took long doze of three or
four hours. At 6 in the afternoon he
rose, dressed for dinner and returned to
bed again between 10 and II.
Being unable to sleep much, he found
pleasure in ringing for the servants,
ringing his bell forty times night. If
he wished to know the hour, instead of
looking at his watch he rung for serv-
ant. If he wished a glass of water, in
stead of reaching his hand for it, he
rung again for a servant.-New York

hobERr p PORTER women as well a!
men toll, for mans earnings alont
are insufficient to keep body and
soul together. Ny heart rejoices to find
so many ladies present here tonight. 1t il
good that they should feel an interest and
take a part in such matters that affect
them so vitally. And this fact prompts
me to say few words from my heart about
the toiling women of Europe; about a
competition that we must certainly meet
when the doctrine of cheapHess and degrad-
alton of laborwins the final political victory.
When our American mothers, and wives,
and sisters, and women folk generally,
have to labor as the toiling, suffering null
| titudes labor on the other side of the At
lantic, then and not until then, gentlemen
of the Ohio Republican League, can we dig
our minerals, shape our iron, fashion our
pottery, spin our yarn, weave our cloth,
make our garments, build our houses and
produce our commodities, as cheaply, yea
even more cheaply, than the nations of
Europe
L have travelled all through the industrial
regions of Europe, and have seen with my
own eyes this pinching want among the in
dustrial classes. 1 have seen women bare
footed in the brickyards of Merry En-
gland, carrying cold slabs of damp clay.
have seen them filling the coke ovens of
Sunny France" I have seen them
emerge from the coal-pits of BUSY Bel

amazement at women bearing the brunt
Of the heat and toll In the harvest fields of
the German Fatherland. l have watched
with sorrow and indignation women
in Austria-Hungary hitched up with dogs,
dragging trucks and hauling burdens
Sunburnt and bent, with ropes over their
shoulders, have seen women trudging
along the banks of the canals and dykes of
picturesque Holland, dragging boats along
the turgid waters. And, as if to cap the
climax of cheapness and degradation, /
have seen women, dressed as men, mixing
mortar, and carrying bricks up the scat
folding to the bricklayers, in the charming
city of Stockholm, Sweden. Having seen
all this, knowing all this, ask if any one
can seriously consider this state of things
and yet repose in absolute satisfaction and
confidence, as some of our statesmen do, in
the doctrine of cheapness9 Who suffers
from this cheapnessP
"Why, flesh and blood, as a matter of

With bit of brain, and a conscience be-
hind,

Better, and longer, and harder all round

The Democratic party was once in favor
of cheap men and women 1t has now
changed its doctrine to cheap goods, which,
as l have shown, practically means the
same thing.
