CRANK BLAIR TURNED BACK,
No Occasion for Going to tho Occident.
Spurned by the Chinese.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-It is announced
this evening that the Chinese governments
has notified the United States of unwilling
ness to receive Blair as minister. Neither
Secretary Blaine nor the Chinese minister
would talk on the subject tonight. The
objection causes no excitement, as the
United States recognizes the right of for
eign power to express unwillingness to re-.
ceive minister not entirely acceptable.

Used to Being Married That Way,

A wedding ceremony occurred some
years ago of then United States sena.
tor, who, a widower twice over, had fol
the third time succumbed to Cupid's
wiles. AT his first and second marriage
the ceremony had been performed by an
Episcopal clergyman, and hence the SEN
ator was quite familiar with the Episco.
pal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was devout Presbyterian, and naturally
wished the connubial knot to be tied by
minister of her own church. and ac-
cordlng to its simple service. To this
the statesman lover made no objection.
The character of the service was of
small account to him so long as it served
to unite him to the object of his adora-
ton, and the thought that he might
blunder in the course of it never dis
turbed for moment the serenity of his
mind.
But, standing beside his bride to be.
stage fright, as it might be called, seized
him. In the excitement he began to
marry himself, as it were, by the Episco-
pal service, repeating glibly: 81, -,
take thee, -, to be my welded wife, -
and he would probably have gone on to
the end if the astonished Presbyterian
minister, who Immediately appreciated
the situation, had not interposed, and,
interrupting the bridegroom, performed
the ceremony with the brevity of the
Presbyterian form.
AT the point where the perturbed
groom seemed bent on doing the business
for himself a distinguished brother SEN
ator present drew near to lady, an
other guest, close friend of his own
and of the bridal pair. and whispered in
| plying tone:
Poor -. He's used to being mar
ried by the other service. "-Washington

A Poser for the Lawyers.

John Doe owns a farm on the bank Of
the Niagara river. He has fine pasture
along the river, and he makes an honest
penny now and then pasturing COWS fol
his neighbors. Richard Roe has also {
license from him to hitch his rowboa-
on the bank, with incidental right of in
gress and egress through the pasture
About week ago Richard lost his chair
and improvised a rope of hay with which
to moor his boat.
Now Ebenezer Dicks COW, pastured il
the lot aforesaid, is fond of hay, anc
smelling the fragrance of the extemport
rope she waded into the river, climbed
into the boat, chewed up the rope, and
foated down the stream over the falls
where she met an untimely death. The
boat was also pulverized en- route tc
Queenstown.
Has Ebenezer Dick any right of action
for the loss of his COW? If he has, of
whom can he recover? Has Richard Roe
any remedy for the loss of his boat, and
if SO against whom?-Buffalo Courier.

Fallacy of Fish and Brain,

One popular fallacy in connection with
fish may be noticed, namely, the oft re-
peated assertion that the eating of that
particular food increases brain power.
No one who has studied the subject can
possibly believe the assertion. A man
might eat huge portion of fish every
day of his life, and on the day of his
death, if the quantity of phosphorus (the
brain invigorator) consumed were to be-
come visible, it would not amount to
more than might probably suffice to tip
q couple of lucifer matches.
Communities have existed that lived
almost solely on fish, but these ichthy-
ophagists were certainly not famous for
intellectual attainments. Nor are our
fisher villages, in many Of which much
fish is presumably consumed, the seats
of any great amount of brain power.
None of our fsherfolks are remarkable
for genius, or even what is called COM
mon sense, their views of life and its re-
sponsibilities being shrouded in a haze of
superstition, which they lack sufficient
strength of mind to see through.
No fishing community, so far as is
known to the writer, has given to the
world a great man. Men of mark
poets, preachers, lawyers, philosophers,
warriors and physicians have ema-
mated, in Scotland at any rate, from all
classes except the fishing class. Temple

printed in London in 1910. This Bible
was bought soon after it was published
by John Stratton, and has been handed
down from John to John till it came

of the family record remains, some en-
tries being made in 1862 AS this Bible
appeared one year before the King James
version it is difficult to determine what
translation it is. though it differs very
little from the authorized version. The
book is evidently in the original binding

HOW THEY VOTE IN JAPAN
Folis That Present a Striking Contrast
to Ours in This Country.

| ASSChS StK141A& contrast
to Ours in This Country.
The polls had opened at 8 o'clock, and
one by one the farmers had come strag-
cling in from the surrounding country.
The greater number gathered in the
small meeting hall just outside the poll
ing room, whence arose quiet buzzing.
1t was reminder of the gathering in the
churchyard OF Sunday, in old times. be-
tween the morning and the afternoon
services
There was little laughter, less loud
argument and no angry disputing. Ev-
cry now and then, like bees leaving a
nlve, figure was seen to separate from
the rest and move off toward the polling
room, and anon another returned. One
saw among them here and there the
modern japanese, with his imitation of
foreign garments, in appearance seldom
elegant, often awkward. and generally
out OF harmony with the surroundings.
But chiefly there came the old fash
Toned rustic, in his best silk robes, with
square shaven crown and short queue
caught up and tied-perhaps wearing
the hakama, or divided skirt, of the old
samurai. A gentleman in every act, he
bows as he enters to the official at the
door, carefully writes his ballot and
aff1xes his seal, then with great delibera-
ton folds it and places it in the oblong
official envelope. For some of the voters
1t is necessary to seek the assistance of a
special clerk in writing their ballots. 1t
is not that they cannot write; for every
body knows the plebeian kama or sylla-
bic writing. They prefer to see their
ballots inscribed with the more elegant
Chinese characters; and then, too, the
kama is sometimes ambiguous for some
words have dozen different meanings),
and there is natural perturbation and
desire to have their meaning clearly
and correctly conveyed. When the
writing is finished the long sleeved voter
walks over to the tachiainin, or inspec-
tors. Here further effusions of polite
ness take place, while the voter gives
his name, number and address, and is
checked off on the register. Then, with
another gesture of courtesy, he turns to
the ballot box and with bow, perhaps
in duplicate, to the kind old mayor, who
sits behind the box, he carefully deposits
his ballot and quietly retires by another
door,. Il. Wigmore in Scribner's.

Wasting His Breath.

Out at the ball grounds small boy
who occupied a pew in the bleachers said
funny thing. One of the Albany play
ers was at the bat, and after couple of
balls and a strike had been called on
him he hit a long foul to right field. He
at once started for first base, and with
head down plunged along in the same
way that a steer is supposed to run
through the corn. The small boy over
in the bleachers watched him for min
ute and then yelled out at the top of a
very shrill and squeaky voice; "Say,
Gully, come back. You're working over
time. "-Rocbester Democrat.

New Rules of Politeness.

In certain private schools of Brooklyn
new rules of pofiteness are enforced. II
is no longer proper for the little pupils
to say: Eyes, sir" mo, SIR" Eyes,
ma'am," and "No ma'am," to their
elders. Now the correct thing is: eyes,
Mr.. Brown" "No, Miss Smith" and
so on.
If the child happens to be addressed
by strange Lady or gentleman the child
is instructed to reply, Eyes. mister" or
eyes, lady"
At first this strikes the uninitiated as
an unpleasant innovation, but it has OBJ
tanned a strong hold on the children
and they are rapidly making their pa
rents converts to the new system. New

There was nothing astonishing in
the suggestion of the countess to the

brought up in q country where dom
keys wore trousers to keep the flies of
their sore legs. and it seemed to him
the most natural thing in the world
that his wife should propose donkey
trousers as measure of protection
against the cold. He took the length
of the donkey's legs. and the countess
made the trousers in very short time.
''Dio bono?' exclaimed the countess
when she saw the little donkey dressed
up in overcoat and trousers, ..Che

But the Harlem small boys were of
another mind. They did not ,indorse
the countess judgment that the dom

What's in a Name.

The applications given to men Of
greater or less note have wonderfully
adhesive power. The name is given in
the first place to emphasize some
special popularity, which may or may
not be a dominant trait, but the name
clings all the same and often stands
in the public mind for the sum total
OF the characteristics OF the man.
These appellations have played q
significant part in politicsa word
sometimes deciding the fate Of a
statesman or politician. Great in
justice no doubt is often done in this
way, but the public mind does not
stop to consider. It catches q striking
phrase and allows it to pass current
as truth. On the other hand it may
be said that nothing enhances the
popularity OF a favorite more than
to give himsa name which at once
calls to mind his presence, his sterling
qualities or his past services. Jack
son is honored the more under the
title sold Hickory" There is an
affectionate tenderness implied when
Douglas is called s'The Little Giant,''
