A japanese Club in New York.

One OF the most interesting and at the
same time least known OF New York's
hundreds of clubs in the japanese Club.
Membership in it is limited to persons
born in Japan, and the natives of that
country now residents Of New York find
great pleasure in meeting their fellow
countrymen where their native language
is spoken, their native games played,
japanese dishes served in the cafe and
the furnishings and whole air of the
place remind them of their native land.
The club house is at No. 227 West
Twenty fifth street. There is nothing
about the exterior of the house to dis
tinguish it from the other houses In the
block. The house was built for private
residence, and is leased by the club,
which was organized almost two years
ago. The membership as yet is not
large, but is increasing, and the future
of the club is most promising. E.
Wovyeng, a wealthy japanese merchant
and importer, is President, and NJ.
Nokayamo is Secretary.
The club house is an ordinary three
story and basement stone front build
ing. The basement story is almost on a
level with the street, and a flight of
stone steps leads up to the main entrance.
When called the front door opened,
seemingly automatically, in answer to
my ring. AS l entered, however, l
found that the door had been opened by
a young japanese, who had stood behind
the door as he opened it and waited for
me to pass in. did not know of his
presence until he had closed the door,
and, turning about, recognized me as a
stranger.
The furnishings of the club are unmis.
takably japanese. Opening from the re-
ception hall on the right is a large recep-
tion and reading room. Facing the en-
trance are large portraits of the Emperor
and Empress of Japan. On the walls
are pictures of japanese scenes and sub
jects. In the rear of the room is the
dining room. A handsome japanese
screen separates the two rooms.
In the basement are the billiard rooms
and on the second floor the card rooms.
Tie third floor is devoted to sleeping
apartments, as many of the clubs mem
beTs live at the club..-New York Tele-

Death TO Serpents.

'They have caught on to q new
method of killing snakes down in Tex
as" said A. G.. Rogers, one Of group
OF story-tellers at the Laclede. "Some
parts OF that State are so infested with
chicken snakes that poultry raising is
practically impossible. The chicken
snake feeds on the young of geese,
ducks, chickens, ETC., and has a special
fondness for eggs, which it swallows
whole.
'The smart poultry raiser now pro-
cures liberal supply of porcelain nest
eggs for the special delectation Of these
providers, and leaves them around where
they eau easily find them. When a
chicken snake relegates one of these
porcelain nest eggs to his interior econ

the hen scattered around their haunts
will eXterminate them every time. ~

The judge, however, seemed i'm

and he allowed the question to be put.
"What did Mr.. Grant see2"
"What he saw, sir, is what anybody
can see passing train of empties on a
dark night. He saw the reflection in
the windows of what was going on in
the compartments next his own. A
sober man would know that what he

The Waterways of Frame,

According to tho returns published by
the Minister Of Public Works the total
length of navlgable rivers and canals in
France last year was 7795 miles, of
which 2735 miles were rivers navigablo
naturally, 225O miles rivers which had
been rendered naWgable by dredging
aud the rest canals. The total quantity
of goods carried upon these waterways
was 25, 16l ,O5G tons or 1,O13,7l tons
more than in 1890, the increase IN the
traffic being much greater On the canals
than the rivers. The international
water traffic between France on the one
hand and Belgium and Germany upon
the other was 3,012, 637 tons, OF which
2,125, 4O7 tons were imports and sS7 23O
tons exports. More than fifty per cent.
of the imports consist Of combustibles

of late afternoon, and from my seuse of

The wearing Away of Niagara.

Concerning the wearing away of Mag
ara Falls, Professor Le Conte says:
The upper stratum of rock is Niagara
limestone, a hard rock, but beneath it is
a stratum of shale. IL is the slow un
dermining of this shale that causes the
limestone to break off from year to year
and the falls to recede. They ate re.
ceding now at the rate of three or four
feet year. What will be the final re-
sultl They may go back to the lake,
out the limestone is growing thicker and
thicker and may finally extend to the
bottom of the fails. In that case the
rock would not break of, but would
wear away aud form rapids. In any
case, if the falls should recede 70 Lake
Erie at the present rate il would take az

less, predicts the Boston Transcript.
The common purslane, for instance, is
regarded in this country as a Troublesome
weed. 1t grows everywhere in protusion,
aud when the soil is rich produces lux
urant crop of stem and foliage. 1t is
difficult to kill; even when cut from the
root, if left lying on the ground, it will
go on growing and per[ectits seeds. The
only way to get rid of it is to remove it
from all contact with the earth, and in
wet season even this does not accomplish
its purpose. Yet this despised weed is
in France highly esteemed as food; is
carefully cultivated, and furnishes part
of the subsistence of many thousands of
people. Its succulent leaves aud stems
make nutritious article of greens, and
when properly prepared it is more pal
atable than the spinach, which is here
regarded as dainty. Its commences
here, however, renders it contemplate,
and at present people would as soon
think of eating blue grass; but when the
United States have as many people to the
square mile as France, purslaue will be
valuable article of table use.

FALLEN LEAVES.
Down the street, along the railing
Sec them scurrv

Down the street along the railing
See them scurrv,
Swiftly sliding, wildly sailing
In their hurry; -.
In a frantic troop they're dashing
Through the weather,
Red and yellow see them flashing
All together;
Round the corners they are flying,
Madly racing;
Up the lane in speed they're vying,
Sunbeams chasing.
Where they're from or whittier going
In their fashion
Seems to be beyond all knowing,
Such their passion;
Yet each day they go a trooping,
Never weary,
Past my gateway, whirling, swooping,
Bright and CHEEKY,
Like butterfly procession
Seeking pleasure
Gayety their one profession,
Fun their measure.
oh, ye leavesl so lightly drifting,
Red and yellow,
Rainbow colors brightly shifting,
Rich and mellow,
Whittier bound with steps so airy,
Nimbly leaping?
Haste ye from some wicked fairy
Slyly creeping?

Seeking cover

FOREVER.

Two little streNmlets leaped and Howel,
And sang their songs together;
They felt alike the summer rays,
And bore the stormy weather;
The self same blossoms decked them both
In colors rich aud rare;
And in each stream the song birds wooed
Their bright reflections there.
Aud on, and on, and on they danced,
Each leaping toward the river,
And then they met to kiss and part
Forever and forever.
Two human lives, two kindred hearts,
By destiny's decree,
Met in the spring OF life, to learn
Its deepest mystery.
They dreamed their morning dreams OF hope
Through fair, unclouded weather;
They opened loves bewitching book,
And read It through together;
They saw In one another's eyes
A deep, unspoken bliss;
And from each others lips they took
Loves ever ready Hiss.
And then the fate that crushes all
The sweetest pleasures here
Turned hopes glad music to a Sigh,
It's glory to tear.
1t stepped between them; ah, it Knocked
The love 1t could not kill;
1t bade them in its fury live,
And love and suffer still.
They tried with outstretched hands TO span
Fates wide, unyielding Never"
The voice of destiny replied
Forever and forever"
Mine is no wild imagined theme,
No Idle fancy flight;
1t lives through daylights busy hours,
And haunts the silent night.
The wall of sorrow fills the air,
1t rests, it ceases never,
1t wrings some soul, it breaks some heart,
Forever and forever.

It is a well. known fact, SAYS the
Chicago Mail, that there are more females
than males among the civilized Christian
Nations of the world, and scholars have
generally asserted that the cause of the
differences was the frequent wars in
which many males, but no females, were
killed. Statistics now proves this theory
altogether erroneous. If it were correct,
those Nations which have had most wars
ought TO have the greatest preponderance
of women, chief among them France and
Germany. And the most peaceable Ma
tions ought to have nearly as many males
as females. But statistics prove the con-
trary. Finland, very peaoeable eoun-
try, heads the list with 1130 women to
1000 men; Norway and Sweden, which
have hardly had a war for the last two
centuries, follow next. with 1870 wo-
men to 1000 men. France, which has
been carrying on more wars than any
other great Nation for nearly three cent
uries, has only 1890 women to 1000 men,
the same as Belgium, the most peaceable
Nation on earth. Germany, the warhke,
and Switzerland, the peaceable, are both
down in the list with 1040 females to
1000 males. In the Balkan peninsula,
where small warfare is being carried on,
almost without ceasing, there are only
946 females to 1000 males, and in Greece
and Bosnia only 900 females to 1000
males. So, evidently, war has nothing
to do with theseinequalties in the num-
Der of sexes. But probably Charles
Darwin in his theory of sexual selection
with its influence on births, may offer
an explanation more satisfactory than
that of deaths in war.

One of the most interesting events in
the sporting record OF the year was ac-
complished by Fred Wishaw, an English
bicyclist, who recently distanced five
large gray wolves In the district of Pskoff
in Russia. We ought to say, adds the
Boston Transcript, that herd of elk
coming along just as Mr.. Wishaw's
"bike" ran into snowdrift, the FIVE
large gray wolves leltspf chasing Mr..
Wishaw andeprqq chase the elk,
so that sznl.i 2 t technical &C.
curacy Saved themselves
from tlls2sCofd. Nevertheless they were
distanced, for Mr.. Wishaw states that
when the five large gray wolves hove in
sight he was ten miles from the city of
Lavrik, and he calculated that he could
cover the distance IN forty-fve minutes.
As he was fifty yards ahead of the wolves
when the elk came in, Mr.. Wishaw dis
tanced them rs long as there was any
race. We fear that the Russian wolves
are not what they were, for in old times
the story always ended in the wolves
eating the hero.
