Peddlers In japan,

The horse is practically unknown
in Japan, and the peddlers must car
ry their wares on their shoulders.
Those who sell food carry it about in
square boxes slung over each shoul-
der on a large pole. In one box is
usually a charcoal furnace, with a
pot of soup over it. The other con-
tains a sort of curd, made of beans,
which is sold in square slices that
look like clear salt pork. On selling
q slice the dealer transfixes it with a
stick and besmears it with the soup,
which is red and SO thick as to form
a paste.
The vender of sweetmeats often
carries his goods on his head in a box
surmounted with paper flowers. He
beats a drum as he goes along, and
the children, who seem always hap
py and smiling in Japan, gather
about him. The toy peddler has a
little cart everything in Japan is lit
tle) covered with paper windmills or
other paper decorations.

lamps over one shoulder and one of
chimneys over the other. He stops
everywhere, and it would seem that
the Japanese, like Goethe, want

Professor Garner, the famous SUI
dent of the so called simian language,
is firmly convinced that physically
the quadrumana are closely allied to
man. If there were any doubt of
this, he said one day, 1t would be
dissipated by the fact that the female
gorillasdo ten times more talking than
the males. Indeed" he added laugh
ingly, when the female monkeys
become excited and express them
selves with indignant fiuency the
males sit by and scratch their heads,
looking as if they had forgotten every
word in their limited vocabulary.

Tho Kitchen of a slueen.

The kitchen of the empress of Auss tria is one of the completest in the world New methods of preparing or serving food are adopted only at her suggestion. Cooking devices which have become inconvenient or rantiqaated are abolished only at her suggestion. Changes in the personnel of the estab- !ishment are made. for the most part, only in obedience to her orders. The kitchen in whleh the food for the bluest blood of Austria is cooked is huge one, with all the arrangements at each end for preparing fish, flesh and fowl for the table. Fifty chickens can be cooked at once on the big, whirling spfts The broiling and baking and frying occupy a small regiment oi servants Twenty-Five male cooks spit, season and stuff the meats. As many women cooks prepare the vege' tables, the buildings and the salads A dozen or more boys carry the birds. fsi and joints from the kitchen to the carying-room, where long lines ol carvers slice everything laid before them.

 What is called the leg Of bird ia really the foot, and birds walk only upon their toes. It seems wonder to some that birds do not fall from the perch even in sleep. There is a special muscle that holds toes, and the bend. ing of the knee-joint draws this mus cle tight, thus making it impossible for 1t to lose it's hold The female is ac- credited with highly aesthetic tastes, choosing her male companion for his beauty The birds bealI is of interest, taking the place, as it does, of both hand and mouth.

American Railroad Puzzles.

It is impossible to get clear and ac. eurate idea of the financial administrSs tion of American railroad lines Many oS the great companies present the az pearanee of real chaos. of labyrinth .n which it is almost impossible to find sne,s way This is due 10 various causes. not to refer to the desire which the managers of a company may have 1a keep out the 1iGht. Many cOmpa- nies dc not co5 fiue themselves to trans, 3ortation they possess mines, they make a commission in merchandise, they construct and operate elevators. they operate canals, they are proprie. tors or #lessees of distant lines; more over, a portion of the freight has been conceded to special companies, who pay toll, who lend rolling stock to the cong pany, and this company is stockholdcr In these subdiary enterprises. Add t@ this that the stations are the common property of several railway companies, or belong to particular company. Un- der these conditions it is easy to see how complicated the accounts must be. The consequence is that the capital in- vested changes necessarily. and that it includes a thousand diverse things. Most of the companies declare them- selves unable to state even approxi- mately the sum of their real expenses. ---Economiste Francais.

.t-s Catching Of Leeches in the Lake of
 Popoiias.
 The human tfutes ia American cities who occasionally are brought to jus siee by local societies for the preven- ton of cruelty to animals are angels compared with the leech fishers of Greece, Old. worn-out horses are bought by them for a song in the 6reek cities and villages, and are used 0s living bait for the swarms of leeches that infest the mud lakes of Attica and Bcetia. Great masses of these blood suckers cling to the helpless animal their operations generally exhausting the victim in less than an hour. As soon as the horse is able to move again he is subjected to the same slow, kill ing process, until he finally succumbs.
 And this in an age of Christian eul- t1sre and enlightenment, when reform CTS and champions of love and mercy to laan and beast are deafening the world with their cries of progress and theo- Iaes of moral evolution. In the lake of POpotias during the summer months the fishermen manage to earn in this way about twenty francs per day. Here the annual catch is an enormous one. much greater than in the famous leech marshes of Essegg. in Slavonia.
 In other countries. and especially in the United States, leeches are pro- cured and reared in more humane manner Ina leeeh farm near Newton, L. L. for instance there are large breeding tanks or ponds. each one and q half acres in extent and three feet OF more in depth. The bottom is com posed of clay and margins of peat. The cocoons are deposited in the soft peat from June onward, the chief enemies being musIrats. water-rats and water. screws, which dig the eocoous out ot the peat. The adult leeches are fed syerY six months on%resh blood placed in linen bags suspended iii the water Leeehes which have thus been filled with blood make good breeders. Leeches. like many other annelids, can be kept alive for several years without food in vessels of pure wa|sr. .qet.hieage snter-0cean.
