THE JAPANESE WAITRESS.
A Vision OF Perfection That Seems

to Americans Impossible.
The Japanese waitress is evidently
a creature full Of kindliness and win
ming graces. Sir Edwin Arnold met
her at a dinner in Japan, where she
contributed greatly by her tact and
courtesy to the success of the occa-
sion. To each guest. there entered a
pretty, bright, well-dressed japanese
waitress with hair decked :sto the
mines, stuck full OF flowers and jewel
ed pins and shining like polished black
marble.
She never speaks Or settles to any
serious duty OF the entertainment

1t is not very difficult to use the
chopsticks, those simple knives and

OF your waitress.
Amid the talk which buzzes around,

"What is yonr honorable name?" and

that she is ''Miss Starr" "Miss Camel

She counsels you to seize that tiny

STOUT-HEARTED WOMEN.

What They Have Done to Help in
Developing the West.
The life of the West is one to- in
duce heroism on the part of both
men and women. The latter are Of
ten left alone for days in the little sod
cabins or in the dug-outs that dot
the hillside along the water courses
They learn to be self-reliant and
strong-natured. There are in every

OF which would in Massachu setts.

State wide reputation, bnt which in.
the far West are not thought of
seriously. With the difficulties of
outlaws, Indians, and the terrific
forces Of nature to combat, it is re-,
narkable that more tragedies do not
occur.
But the women of the plains re-
allied when they came from the old
homes in the East that they were
coming to face hardships and danger,
and the elements Of bravery in their
nature came out strongly, and when
ever the tears came there was the
hearty and hardy spirit to meet it.
Much as the men have done to develop
the country, women have done more
and the wives and daughters deserve
all possible credit. Here and there a
deed stands out in relief, but for the
most part the stories of the heroines
are confined to their immediate
neighhorhoods and never reach the
out side world.-St Louis Globe DEM

How Boston Restaurant Patrons
Like Their Meats Cooked.
The manipulation OF agrilling iron in
4 restaurant was asked the other day
what proportion OF his customers
wanted their meats we'll done.
''It depends, he said, in reply, con
the kind OF meat they order. Take
mutton chops, for instance, and at
least rs per cent. Of the customers
want them well done, and the remand
er, with few exceptions, have them
partly cooked through. Once in a
while some one comes along with can
nibalistic tendencies, who wants his
chops rare.
'But in the matter OF steaks, the
figures are somewhat changed. Medium
well done is the favorite style, while
the next larger number vans their
beef blood rare. Only very few or
ders are received to have the stake
well done. Some OF our customers
are very particular, and if we send
out a piece oflneat that isnot cooked
in accordance with their notion, they
fume, and grumble, and steam, like an
old gentleman whose bunion has been
stepped upon.
'.All kinds, of fowls are cooked until
done through. In all my experience
as professional griller | never came
across but one customer who wanted

HE WAS A STICkER,

And Chung to the Bar With a Tena-
City of Purpose.
The head barkeeper at the Ebbitt
has an amusing story that he likes to
tell, says the Washington Post. About
ten years ago, when the proprietor OF
chat house concluded to remove the
oar downstairs, a man had been there
all the evening and had imbibed rath-
sr freely.
Toward midnight some Of his friends
took him home, but he was restless
and could not sleep, and in few
hours he concluded to 60 back for
several more drinks. When hereached
the Ebbitt he was surprised to find
that a sign had been placed on the
door which read, ''Bar removed to
the floor below"
'How's this?'' he inquired ~ was
here not long ago and now you say
the bar has been moved"
EYES, remarked one of the attaches
OF the hotel. "f you want drink
badly and must have it the men are
at work downstairs and you can pro-
badly get it,
Downstairs they went, and sure
enough'the visitor was accommodated,
but he actually remained there all
day, from 5 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock at night, in one place,
and kept drinking plain whiskey. His
friends heard OF it, and at the last
named hour besought him to so
home.
BLAMED if I do" he calculated. II
know the trick. went with you last
night and they moved the bar down
stairs while was away and if | 60 now
they'll move it somewhere else. Not
much"
Finally his friends succeeded in get
ting him away and soon afterward he
disappeared from Washingtona and did
not return in ten whole years. He
made much money out west and when
here recently opened a few bottles OF
wine in the Ebbitt for the sake OF old
times.

AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION.
Ex-President Calhoun Wants tho City
League to Enlarge Its Field.

Ex-President Calhoun Wants tho City
League to Enlarge Its Field.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Feb. Of Special. J.
The proposed Eastern Ohio League seems
likely to fall through, owing to the distance
between cities and lack of interest of sew
eral of the proposed "strongest" teams. In
view of this fact, President w. A. Calhoun,
of last years Ohio Valley League, has in
the last ten days been in communication
with a number of the towns and cities near
Pittsburg, with view of having the teams
from such places make an effort to have the
new City League enlarge its proposed
field of play to include the adjoining towns
and cities
If the city delegates look with favor on
the proposition, it is probable that enough
clubs can be gotten from such places as
Bridgeville, Washington, Sewickley,
Beaver, Beaver Falls and East Liverpool,
which added to the city clubs will make
league even more formidable than the
County League From financial point of
view, such an addition to the city teams
would no doubt contribute greatly to the
success of the new League. The strange
faces in the outside teams would prove
quite an attraction to the city games,
and the heavy patronage of the outside
towns would be very pleasing feature to
the city clubs in counting gate receipts
when away on trips.
Should the outlying cities receive notice
that their applications will be properly
considered, there will be several delegates
present at the League meeting on Tuesday
evening next

The storm that was central Friday morn
ing over Kentucky and Tennessee has moved
into the ocean off the Middle Atlantic coast
and almost disappeared, its only remaining
evidence being strong northerly gales on
the North Carolina coast. The movement
during Thursday and Friday from the Texas
Panhandle along the thirty-sixth parallel
has been unusual. The area of snow and
rain covered the States between Pennsyl-
vania and South Carolina and to the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies. Elsewhere
clear and fair weather prevails, and at the
Friday night report the falling rain or snow
had entirely ceased.
The condition will be clear and cool over
most of the country, and especially in the
Southern States, and amounting to cold
wave in the Carolinas. There are some evil
dences of storm development in Eastern
Texas, and also over New Mexico; but till
the further development, the seasonable
proba bility is that clearer, fair conditions in
the central northeast sections will continue
till after Sunday.

rsrEcrAL TELEGRAM TO TIE p1spArru.,

rsrEcrAL TELEGRAM TO TIE pIsPArru.,
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-There is quite a
surprise in store for the stockholders of the
New York Baseball Club in the shape of
the resignation of j. w. Spalding from the
Office of Secretary and Treasury and from
the directory at the annual meeting. to be
held in Jersey City next week.
An official of the club, who knows
whereof he speaks, stated definitely that
the resignation in question will be the re-
suit of a well-laid plan, which was con-
cocted several months ago. 1t would have
been censumated some months ago, but
force of circumstances prevented it. The
club official reterredSo says that Mr.. Spald
ing will not sell out, but he will ''retire"
like his brother, A. G. Spalding, whose
private secretary, James A. Hart, is now
President of the Chicago club. The club
official in question explains fully the situa-
tion in Gotham's club as follows:
''The retirement of J. w. Spalding has
been somewhat predicted, and rightly, TOO.
Mr.. Spalding's business is made paramount
to the interests of the club in all he does,
and that it is this conflict of interests
which restrains the gentleman from becom-
ing as aggressive a magnate as it is neces-
sary to be in these days to uphold clubs
welfare.
"The foundation for MIR Spalding's re-
tirement from the club has already been laid
by the selection of G. d. White to be the
clubs secretary. MI. White is an excellent
man for the position. He is a popular
gentleman and was the President of the
Eastern League last year, and will occupy
the same position during the coming season.
But he is in Mr.. Spalding's employ. Mr..
White holds a clerkship in Mr.. Spalding's
store, and is, in e baseball sense, under Mr.
Spaldings thumb
"With Mr.. White in the Office of Secre-
tary of the New York club, Mr.. Spalding's
retirement from the business affairs of
the Giants would be technically or, I
might say, make believe He could, and
probably would exercise more authority
through his secretary than he would through
the Office in his own hands.
''At this time and under the present
regime it will be to the interest of the
Spaldings to stand behind dark screen and
pull the strings which shall move and ami
mate their successors.
''The baseball world is supposed to look
upon, or rather to consider, these two gen.
tlemen, who have been of so much worth to
the national game, to be in retirement,
but the thinking and knowing ones will
look upon Messrs. Hart and White as a
kind of Punch and Judy, whose acts and
words are prompted by the manipulators
behind the screen"
