StediumsI In Japan.

Spirit rapping vocation for women in
Japan requires little apparatus. Rap
ping is perhaps not the correct word, for
there is really no trapping" at all-the
clients are simply put in communication
with any spirit with whom they desire to
speak It is not necessary that the spirit
should be that of dead person, but the
medium always inquiries whether the
spirit whose presence is desired is living
OF dead.
The mediums always carry about with
them a mysterious wooden box, about a
foot or less square. Like the medicine
bag of the Indian medicine man, its con-
tents are a secret 70 members of the
same profession. These women usually
have bow of soft wood strung with a
single string, and this they tNyang on
the edge Of the box like a caricature Of
violin playing.
If the spirit required is that Of a dead
person, lear plucked from a graveyard
is used TO splash some water out Of a
small cup that stands in front Of the
medium. If the person is living, a sim
liar ceremony is performed with a piece
Of stick instead of a leaf Then follows
an incantation, and the spirit proceeds
20 speak through the medium. The
medium charges sometimes as high as 10
or 20 cents.-San Francisco Call.

a debtor and asked him politely for the

that he should.
"Oh, WELL" said the debtor, "that's

Mhen a MANI. Aarlce we. Good.

Hewho had much occasion TO be abroad
on the day when the snow, rain and
wind made merry with the population
of this town saw some queer sights and
heard some queer things. One Of the
worst crossings in the lower part Of the
city was at the intersection of Broadway
and Fulton street, where the slush and
snow formed an expanse of something
which told nothing Of the depth Of the
mixture. Here and there was a hum
mock which might furnish solid footing,
but probably wouldn't. A young man,
essaying the crossing, stopped half way
between the curbs, and deciding that the
rest of the ford was impossible turned
back. As he did so he ran into an eld-
erly woman who was close behind him.
"Beg pardon, madam" said he, "but
you'd better not try it."
The lady gave her skirts an extra
twitch and glared at the youth.
II want you to know" she responded,
"that / never needed a mans advice,
and l don't need it now. Lemme by
The young man jumped to one side,
and she who would not be befriended
went ahead. There was a splash, half
smothered cry, wild scramble, and she
stood on the sidewalk. But the slush
had gone above the tops Of her stout
walking shoes. Grimly she looked back
at her adviser, and the wind brought her
remark to his ears:
Il never took mans advice, but
wish / had that time," she said.-New
