Street Yenders In japan.

Mr.. Burditt, who was lately IN
Japan with John ID. Stoddard, talks
very interestingly of the novel fea-
lures of street life observed there.
The horse is practically unknown in
Japan, and the peddlers must carry
their wares on their shoulders Those
who sell food carry it about in square
boxes slung over each shoulder on a
long pole. In one box is usually a
charcoal furnace, with a pot Of soup
over it. The other contains a sort of
curd, made Of beans, which is sold in
square slices that look like clear salt
pork. On selling slice the dealer
transfxes it with a stick and besmears
it with the soup, which is red, and SO
thick as to form paste. The vender
of sweetmeats often carries his goods
on his head in IA box surmounted with
paper flowers. He beats drum as he
goes along, and the children, who
seem always happy and smiling in
Japan, gather about him. The toy
peddler has little cart Everything in
japan is little covered with paper
wind mills or other paper decors-
tions.
In the country districts no other
street merchant is SO frequently seen
as the lamp dealer, who has box of
lamps over one shoulder, and one of
chimneys over the other. He stops
everywhere, and it would seem that the
japanese, like Goethe, want "Mehr-
licht." Close at this dealers heels
follows the kerosene merchant, with
can and measure. - Washington

The Shah and The Court Painter.

The Shah of Persia. according to
foreign papers, has forgotten the lit
tie boy who followed him to Europe
on his last journey as talisman, and
has~nade prime favorite of his court
painter. The artist has won, it lis re-
ported. an unbounded influence over
His Majesty. One day short time
ago high official of the Empire be-
came filled with wild desire To see
the painter at work in his studio. "The
painter, says one of the Berlin papers,
threw the intruder out and shut the
door. But the great man was deter
mined to carry ont his plan. He return
ed To the studio, broke open the door
and dre-entered the room. The angry al
tist fell upon the official and painted his
face a bright color. Fearing the dis
pleasure of the great man and his
friends, he then fled from the studio.
But the happy thought came to him
to seek the Shah. Fear not, said His
Majesty after hearing the report of
the artist.
"The court favorite had hardly
finished his story when the official,
his face still covered with the fresh
paint, presented his complaint to the
Shah
"'You are wrong, said His Majesty.

THE day undoubtedly is not far
away when all superfuous fruits and
berries will be preserved by the use
cvaporators, rather than left 20 spoil
or to be fed as waste. There is a
steadily increasing demand for dried
fruits, and II dried berries have no
market IL is because they are prac.
tically unknown. Once put u. on
the market and the demand for
them will grow, for though demand
regulates supply, it is equally true
that supply creates demand in many
instances.

OLNEYVILLE, II. l.. APRIL IA, 1894.
SOME people imagine that they can
not have a walk-over without tramp
ing their rivals under foot.

The number of red foxes in Mis-
souri, is increasing very rapidly. In
some places there are enough to do
considerable damage to crops. There
is no known reason for this increase
except that fox hunting, which was at
one time the most popular sport in
the country, died out to large extent
on account of the scarcity of foxes, and
has not been renewed. IL would not
be at all difficult now to find the ami
mails, and that too, within very short
distance OF st. Louis.

When the United States try to

Of wheat, or that amount of land
which is in other cops, observes the
Boston Cultivator. Whether we had
better grow less wheat TO sell and buy
less sugar is n problem to some. Per-
haps we can find laud enough to grow
the sugar beets on that is not now in
wheat, or we can grow as much wheat
upon less ground than we now use.

THE use OF small sizes OF coal has
greatly increased Of late years Form
erly the sizes below stove coal were
regarded as almost worthless and
were left at the mines to accumulate
there. 1t was soon found that chest
nut coal was extremely desirable for
house use, and it came dollar a ton
cheaper than stove coal for time.
Now, ca coal is coming into use,
and this can be got at the mines for
- cents per ton. still smaller par
ticles, called barley coal, are now
used for generating steam at the col
lieries Even the fine coal dust is
now mixed with something TO cause
1t to stick together, and is thus made
into IA valuable and practically cost
less fuel, as there arc immense piles
OF IL let from times when il was re-
garded as good for nothing.

A great many people have laughed
at the old lady who started nm alarm
on the brick -battlcship Illinois, at the
Worlds Fair with her fears that the
vessel was about TO sail and carry her
of. 1t is now announced that the YES
sci is actually to make n cruise at an
early day from her present moorings
to the station in front of Van Buren,
street, where she will be permanently
moorod rs n practice ship for the State
naval reserve. The Illinois is the
most perfect counterpart of battle
ship ever built. She is 34S feet long
by 60, feet beam, and weighs about
1900 tons The plan is to float her
by means of scows after tying her to-
gethcr so that she cannot tumble to
pieces, ard then tow her to the posi-
tion which she is to occupy perma-
nently. The cost of moving her is
estimated at from $50, 200 to $50, 900.
If successful, this will be one of the
greatest engineering feats ever accom-
Tlished.

one of the maidens, with a pout equally
provoking. "They told us this was

Great alarm was created the other
day in one of the principal courts of
justice at Berlin by the presiding
Judge suddenly becoming insane on
the bench. His lunacy was first made
apparent when, without the slightest
provocation, he stornly inquired of
the witness whether she liked potatoes.
The surprise created by this question
was intensified when the judge pro-
ceeded TO make the most horrible
grimaces at the witness, and to talk at
random on the most incongruous sub
jects, until finally led away by the
court attendants.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Use old mating under carpet.
A pail of cold water will purify the
air of the room.
Sprinkle the inside of damp gloves
with violet powder.
Keep a dish of water on the back of
n tight stove to purify the air.
For grease spots, equal parts of
ether and chloroform are good.
Mix powdered pipe clay with water
to remove oil stains from wall paper.
A large, soft sponge. either dry or
slightly dampened, makes good
duster.
Before laying carpet, wash the
floor with turpentine to prevent buff
fslo moths.
A teaspoonful of ammonia to one
teacupful of water is good for clean

not only includes Brooklyn, with n
population of nearly 1000, 900, and
Richmond County, with over $4,000
inhabitants, but thirteen towns and
villages, of which Long Island City,
with population of 30,506, is the
most important. Among the others
are Flstbush, Flushing, New Utrecht,
Gravesend and Jamaica Bay. The ag-
gregate population of the territory
which it is proposed to take in is
LIZA, O53, which, added to that of
New York, would give to "Greater

TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.

Remember in making coffee:
That the same flavor will not suit
every taste.
That every one can be suited 10 a
nicely by properly blending two or
more kinds.
That equal parts of Mocha, Java
and Rio will be relished by a good
many people.
That n mild coffee can he made dan
gerously strong and still retain the
mildness Of flavor.
That the flavor is improved if the
liquid is turned from the dregs as soon
as the proper strength has been OBJ
tained.
That where the percolaton method
is used the coffee should be ground
very fine or the strength will not be
extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should be
rather course, otherwise it will invari-
ably be muddy.
That good coffee will always COM
mand fair price, but that all high
priced cofiees are not necessarily Of
high quality.
That in serving the cups and cream
should be warm; the cream should he
put in the cup before the coffee is
poured in, but it is immaterial when
the sugar is added.
That "A level teaspoonful of the ground
coffee to each cup is the standing al
lowancc, from which deviation can be
made in either direction, according to
the strength desired. : New York Ad-
