How They Write English.

Eli Perkins tells us that the Japan.
ese have a mania for putting up En-,
glish signs, and they flood your rooms
at the hotels with English cards.
And such English! The japanese
have no imperative mood, and they
generally express an idea negatively
that we express positively. One day
/ said to the waiter: ''Kishi, the
rolls are cold" yes" he SAID: "a
good deal Of not cooling the cakes is
good" A conspicuous notice at the
Kioto Hotel reads: ''On the dining
time nobody shall be enter to the din
ing and drawing-room without the
guests allow" One of the articles in
the municipal laws OF Kioto runs:
"Any dea.er shall be honestly by his
trade. OF course the sold one shall
prepare TO make up the safe pack

Each Had "a Mother.

An old lady in faded black gar
ments walked through side street,
near Broadway, the other evening.
She stopped slightly and wore glasses,
while her scantgray hair was brushed
straight back over her ears. HeI
dress bore evidence of being well
made, although patched and darned
In spots. AS she slowly walked along
she looked down at the ground.
Along the sidewalk, some of them
leaning on adjacent ratings, were O
number of sporting men. They were
chatting of the races and laughing.
when suddenly big, burly fellow who
evidently didn't look where he was
going, ran plump into the little old
lady. The shock threw her to the
ground, and when one of the sporting
men stepped over to pick her up the
brute had disappeared.
A bag Of apples and pears, which
the old lady had been carrying, had
fallen with her and the contents were
scattered over the walk. She was as
sisted TO a neighboring doorstep,
where she sat down, seemingly in
great pain A policeman who saw
the men standing in group ap-
preached, and on learning that the
old lady was suffering from a fall,
started to call an ambulance.
The old lady began to cry, when up
stepped great, big, wicked gamb-
Ter.
''Here, one of you fellows who had
a mother, call cab," he said.
When that vehicle drew up to the
curb singular scene was enacted.
All wanted to pay for the cab. and
the policeman insisted as hard as
anybody else. The gambler won the
fight and some OF the other wicked
men helped pick up the scattered
fruit, while the rest took the old
lady's arm and helped her to reach
the cab. 1t was only an incident,
and they were all wicked sporting
men again five minutes afterward.

Gerstand fOur-horse work. In this re-
spect old coachmen had great ad-
vantage over those OF modern times
The present horse-keepers are, as a
rule, difficult to manage, to say moth

love of strong liquor. 1t requires a
thoroughly competent man to go over
the road and keep these persons IN
order. This head servant does not
by any means get the praise to which
he Is entitled. lie should be pro-
vided with buggy; an extra horse
should be kept at everv stage, so that
he can start any time, day or night,
pickup his changes on the road, and
see what the horse-keepe.s are about
Moreover, he must be thoroughly

some Of the best stud -grooms, accus.
toned TO hunters and ordinary car
riage-horses, have signally failed to
accomplish this work. Not only IL
the feeding an art in itself, but the
stabling is also peculiar. The coach
horse must have more air and less
clothing than anv other horse that
works, and nothing is more pernicious
to highly excited coach-horse than
to turn him into a warm stable when
he comes off the road.
The hours of feeding have neces-
sarily to differ at each stage, owing to
the various times at which the horses
commence their work, and great care
has to be exercised, especially in
warm, wet weather, to preserve their
condition and keep them free from
sore shoulders and gals.
Each horse should be numbered and
be known only oy that number. a

stable giving detailed instructions to
the horse-keepers. This precaution

HELD FOR A BRUTAL MURDER.
Farmer Swarthout's sons Arrested on s us
picion of Killing Their Father.

Farmer SwarthOut's Sons Arrested on us
picion of Killing Their Father.
According to a dispatch John Henry
Svarthout and Ernest Albert Swarthout
are locked up in the county Jail at Nor
rison, ILL.,, charged with the murder Of
their father, Albert Marion Swarthout,
a prosperous farmer living near Nor
rison.
Albert Swarthout was shot while in
his barn, not fifty steps from the house;
his body was then thrown into cart,
hauled within a stones throw of the
side windows Of the farmhouse, and
dumped into a strawstack, which was
set on fire. All of this was done within
easy reach of the house, in and around
which, according to the statements Of
the family, there were at the time the
two sons, the daughter and her husband,
and the wife OF the younger son. The
boys were arrested on an affidavit sworn
to by five of the best-known citizens Of
the county charging them with guilty
knowledge OF the crime. 1t is claimed
that the boys were opposed to their
fathers approaching marriage with a
young school-teacher in neighboring
town, by which hey thought the estate
of SIS, 900 would te lost 10 them. II o
theory Of robbery is also advanced, as
a gold watch and 500 known to have
been in the possession of the mur-
dered man have not been found. The
entire evidence, however, is purely cir
cumstantial.
The two sons are good-looking young
fellows. John, the eldest, is 20 years
OF age, and a graduate OF this years
class at Bennett Medical College,
Chicago. Ernest is % years old. He
has always lived on the farm with his
father, and was married two months
ago. Both the young men are willing
to talk Of their fathers death, and
deny most emphatically any knowledge
of the crime.

DESERVING HIS POST.

"Say, Billy, amt you going with
us?" yelled the boys, standing on tip
toe to peep into the kitchen window.
The Maverick farmhouse was on a
lovely plateau of land halfway up a
dreary mountain-side. And Billy
sat alone by the fire, trying very hard
to get interested in an old volume of
capt. Cooks Adventures. " which he
had read over and over again. He
jumped up at the sound Of familiar
voices
"Going where?" said he, leaning
out of the window.
Down to Pixley's Woods" said
John JaycoX "We're going to have
corn and apple roast down there.
There's lots Of fellows coming"
'Oh, do wish l could CO." said
Billy, with sigh.
"Well, come on, then," roared
Herman Smith, only make haste"
"But can't" said Billy. "Father
and mother went to the camp-meet-
ing to-day and they left me to keep
house."
''Did they s'pose the bears was GO
ing to carry off the house'" contempt
uously inquired Herman.
NO" said Billy. "But old Mrs.
Tricks house was broken into night
before last when she was gone to tea
at Elder Jones'. And father says it
amt safe to leave the place alone"
"Much good you would be IL the
thieves were to come" sneered Peter
Wise.
"Well," guess 1 can handle faith
er's old musket as we'll as another
man." said Billy with some pride.
''But it amt that, father says
The burglars only try locked-up houses
and those where the folks are all
away.
''Well," shifted Peter, 'if a burg
lar climbs this steep road he must be
hard up for something to steal, that's
all have to say about it,"
''Do come, BILL" urged Jaycox.
"We're going to have regular good
time"
Billy looked wistfully at the other
boys. "Oh, / only wish 1 could"
said he.
"Your folks will never know" said
Jaycox, coaxingly.
"No, l don't suppose they WILL" as
sented Billy But"
''Oh, come now," hoarsely shouted
Herman Smith; 1--WE can't stand here
waiting all day. II Maverick is COM
ing let him come. If he amt, let
him say So Are you ready fellows?
Now, then, one--twO -three-march!"
And away went the little band of
boys at double quick!
Billy looked longingly after them.
Boys are naturally of a gregarious
nature. and he had been alone all the
afternoon.
II might just as we'll go as not"
said he aloud to the old clock tick-
ing away behind the door. "It's Just
exactly as Peter Wise says-there
amt burglar going that would take
the trouble TO climb the mountain
road. It's all nonsense for me to stay
herer'
Billy Maverick, as you can easily see,
children, had never studied the story
OF 'Casabiancaw If he had been ION
the burning deck" il isn't at all prob
able that he would have remained
long enough for anybody to make a
story about And yet Billy was very
good sort Of little fellow after all.
"And i won't stay" said Billy, $50
there! I'll fix up q fellow to keep
house for me, and I'll run across the
woods and over the broken bridge and
be at Pixley's Woods just as quick as
the other boys get there"
So Billy, whose resources were truly
wonderful drew the old rocking-chair

THE NIGHT EXPRESS.

Out through the hills OF midnight,
Hurting and laundering on,
The night express from the outer worL
Speeds for the open OF dawn,
Out of the past and gloom-wracl.
Out oftbe dim and yOre,
treightod as train or caravan
Was never freighted before.
Built when the sphiux's query
Was new ON the lips OF peace;
Hurled through the aching and hollow years
1ill time shall have release;
Stealing and as swift as n shadow,
Sinuous, urging and blind,
Unpent n Joy or the flight Of a bird.
With oblivion behind;
Down to the morrow country,
Into the unknown land
And the Driver grips the throttle-bar,
Our lives are in His hand.
The sleeping hills awake;
trenor, a dread, a roar;
The terror is flying, is come ts past;
The hills can sleep once more.
A moment the silence throbs,
The dark has pulse of fire;
And then the wonder OF time Isl
wrath and desire.
Demolish. toiIing, grim.
In the ruddy furnace flare,
While the Driver fingers the throttle-bar,
Who stands Mt His elbow there?
Can IT be, this thing like a shred
OF the armament torn away.
Is a boarded train that Death and his crew
Consorted to waylay?
His wreckers, grinning nd lean
Are lurking at every curve,
But the Driver plays with the throttle-bar!
He has the iron nerve.
We are travelling safe and warm,
With our little baggage OF cares;
Why tense the peril that yet would come
Unbidden and unawaros2
The lonely are lonely still;
And the friend has another friend
Only the idle heart inquiries
The distance and the end.
We pant up the climbing grade.
And coast on the tangent mile,
While the Driver toys with the throttle-bar.
And gathers the track in His smile.
The dreamer weary OF dreams,
The lover by love released
Stricken and whole, and eager and snd
Beauty and waif and priest.
All these adventure forth
Strangers tho side by side,
With the tramp OF time in the roaring wheels,
And haste In their shadow stride.
The star that races the hill
Shows yet the night is deep;
But the Driver humors the throttle-bar;
So, you and may sleep,
For He OF the sleepless hand
Will drive till the night is done
Will watch till morning springs from the sen,
And the rails grow gold in the sun.
Then He will slow to a stop
The tread of the driving-rod.
When the night express rolls into the dawn
For the Drivers name is God.

At the New York State Dairymsn's con

The cheese was made in the same facto

cerned the ssmples are very similar, being
fine and buttery. The difference which is
quite pronounced, exists in the flavor Of
the cheese The cheese from upaerated
milk has the animal odor; an oder that eI

perfect in flavor, hsving none OF the anil
