r. The appreciation of Japanese music
can scarcely prove an easy acquiremept
to Europeans. Apart from the feeble
quality Of the tone of the instruments
and its singular character. Japanese
music takes extremely complicated
forms and demands the most delicate
phraslng to express its individuality,
My own experience" remarked Mr..

grade tunes it required twenty or thirty
lessons to enable one to grasp the deli

their art and appreciation of their craft
can only arise in the West gradually.
Inc pest way to appreciate Japanese

musicians, without prepos5essions of
any KIND or the preJudices of travellers,
ana TO near it with ears undebauched-

The Question is: "Are You Pre-

able Advice is Volunteered.

An epidemic of the grip is certain to be
general throughout America in very short
time. Already many cases have been OBJ
served BY physicians in EeY York city, as
well as in other cities Of the land. DR.. Cyrus
Edison, Of the New York Board of Health,
says that the disease will manifest its pres
euce generally in the very near future and
that 1t is already here more than is generally
realized He said:

and there are indications that 1t will be a
long siege. While do not want to create a
scare, l would warn people to beware Of 1t
and TO use all the precautions possible Ex-
perience has shown that carelessness in
habits and irregular hours render the system
too weak to stand so violent disease. Grip
finds easy victims in old people and in de-
billtated persons.
There is but one thing for any man. woman
or child to do when the slightest sym ptom of
grip appears and that is to counteract it at
once. II you feel tired, have pains in the
muscles and bones, have dull headache, a
am bition or appetite, you must if you desire
stimulant. This alone can counteract the
coming on of grip. kill the microbes of the
disease and restore YOU to health. While
there are many so-called stimulants. there is
but one which is pure, scientific aud recon-
mended by physicians universally. This is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Do not be de-
ceived by any druggist or grocer who may
try to induce you to take something else.

SPLENDID DAYS WORK.

Ovea 400 Families Supplied
With Christmas Dinners.
In spite of the wretched weather yes
terday, the men employed in distribut-
ing the Christmas dinners to the poor,
did a apleudid days work. Over 400
families were supplied with provisions.
The remaining 400 will be early taken
care of-by noon today, as 1t required
only five no urs to distribute Yesterdays
lot. The teams were Oh the &C from 2
to z p. m.
Though the weather was disagreeable,
the men who delivered the provisions
found it one of the most gratifying jobs
they had ever undertaken. The reci-
pieEts of the Christmas offerings were
SO thankful. Some of them could eX-
press their gratitude only in tears.
Others showered thanks upon the
mayor, the merchants and all who had
anything to do with the distribution of
the donations. One woman-a widow
-knelt down on the floor and
gave thanks In hysterlcal
outburst of Joy. IF anybody
doubts thai these families were in
pressing and immediate need of the
necessities of life, he should hear what
the drivers of the distribution wagons
have to tell. The food distributed will
last the average family about week,
and of course many staple and unperish-
| able goods will last longer, such as
| coffee, sugar, -four, etc.
Mayor Eustis and Secretary ManniX
spent hours at the distribution head
| quarters On Second street and Lookup
| alley, experimenting the packing of the
baskets.
