HOW HEY VOTE IN JAPAN.
Polls That Present a Striking Contrast
to Ours In This Coaatry.

Polls That Present n Striking Contrast
." Ours In This Country.
The polls had opened at s o'clock, and
one by N the farmers had come stray
Cling in from the surrounding country.
The greater number gathered in the
small meeting hall just outside the poll
ing room, whence arose a quiet buzzing.
1t was a reminder of the gathering in the
churchyard on 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
hive, a figure was seen to separate from
the rest and nov off toward the polling
room, and anon another returned. One
saw among them mere 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
h 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
afixes his seal, hen with great delibera-
ton folds it and places it in the oblong
official envelope. For some of the voters
it 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 a dozen different meanings),
and there is a natural perturbation and
a 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 o n the register. Then, with
another gesture of courtesy, he turns to
the ballot box, and with a 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,. H. Wigmore in Scribner's.

Nine men out of every ten one meets,
If the possessor of a watch, can safely be
put down as carrying a cheap, unreliable
combination of works and case some I'M
principled tradesman has palmed off on
him as a good watch and timekeeper.
The tenth man, if he has purchased a
really good watch and timekeeper from
some reliasle jeweler, has paid about 500
per cent. more for it han he should have
done, and this is the very reason why the
other nine men carry such remarkably
bad timepieces. They cannot afford to
pay the extra 500 per cent. heretofore nee

1t will be observed that, if the papilla
is INSTRUCTED or incrusted with deposits
from the sweat glands, such as sodium
chloride or organic salts, the sebaceous
secretion not being able to reach the pa
pilla the hair is deprived of its ~coloring
material. This we believe to be one of
the most common causes of blanching
of the hair. The skin eliminates a small
quantity of salts, a little carbonic acid
and a large quantity of water. The

Foster, in the fluid perspiration or
sweat, is about 1.s1 per cent, consisting

Used to Being Married THAI. Way.


A wedding ceremony occurred some
years ago of q then United States sena-
tor, who, a widower twice over, had for
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 sem
ator was quite familiar with the Episco-
pal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was a devout Presbyterian, and naturally
wished the connubial knot to be tied by
n minister of her WI church, and ac-
cording to its simple service. To this
the statesman lover made no objection.
The character Of the service was Of
small accoun 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 a 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 i~nterposed, 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 sem
ator present drew lei to a lady, an
other guest, q close friend of his own
and of the bridal pair, and whispered in
a plying tone:
Poor -. He's used to being mar
ried by the other service.

THE RAIN STORMS

lhe TtsOlutlOn auOpteu Nv Nue OoW
mittee of citizens under whose auspices
the rain experiments were conducted BY
Mr.. Frank Melbourne undoubtedly voices
the sentiment OF a majority of the conser-
vative people OF this city:
Re.olued,+ That SO far as this committee
can Judge from a single experiment, the
result has been an unqualified success.
To the extent indicated-if no further
the experiment has been a success
beyond cavil or dispute. The test of the
experiment, and upor which was con-
tingent the payment of the $3.50 to cover
tie experimenter's expenses (Which 1t
viii by no means do was the production
of rain within a time specified by the
committee. That the rain was produced
was o~cularly demonstrated to every human
being not only in Cheyenne, but in the
surrounding country for a radius of at
least fifty miles
OF course there are many who are
still indisposed to give Melbourne any
credit for influencing the result. These
people claim that rain would have come
in any event. They say it is beyond the
bounds OF o q able belief to think that
a plain everyday sort OF man who soops
himself up in a barn. without machinery
or any power directly apparent to the
outside world, but simply through a little
hole in the root, could exercise such a
mastery over the vast perceptible heavens
30 as to bring about a precipitation Of
moisture. To this is opposed the tcsti-
monv Of the governments signal service
observer at this point. Reasoning from
his ex~ Experience, the data in his Office and
the evidence of the nstrument by which
meteorological conditions are guaged, he
comes irresistiblv to the conclusion that
the storm was purely local IN its character
aud produced by artificial causes. If his OBJ
servations are correct-and we do not be-
lieve anyone presumes to doubt them-
his statement must have much weight in
i%nclining even the most doubtful toward
the belief that after all Melbourne may
have had something to do with bringing
about two severe transforms under con
titions which all past experience would
indicate as being impossible.
