To Revive the JapaHese Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. T. 1895.-It is un-
derstood that at the next executive ses-
sion of the Senate, or as soon thereafter
as possible, an effort will be made to
revise the Japanese treaty and to cor
rect the amendments made to it in the
Senate. There will probably be no OBJ
lection to the adoption of the changes
desired, inasmuch as the amendments
made by the Senate it is found on ex-
animation go much further than Senator
Frye and the other Senators supporting
them intended. The difficulty has arisen
w tn regard to an article of the treaty
which originally read as foilows:-
Either party shall have the right at
any time after eleven years shall have
elapsed, to give notice to the other of its
intention to terminate the same, and,
upon the expiration of twelve months at

Little Drops of Water.

The childish ditty beginning little
drops OF water" is very forcibly in the
mind OF a Boston printer. He occupies
rooms just over dealer in fancy goods,
on side street that runs from Ire
mont, off the Common. About two
weeks ago one of the devils employed
by the printer was taken with fit
while he was washing at the sink, and
fell in a heap on the floor. The result
was that the plush department of the
downstairs merchant was deluged,
the glove boxes, photograph albums,
ETC., being badly warped. A storm
followed, which was cleared away by
the payment of nominal damages.
Last week the proprietor of the print
ing Office himself was in the Office one
evening, and being thirsty went to the
faucet. But the water had been shut
off, and, no stream following the open
ing of the stopcock, he forgot to close
it, and went home. The water was
turned on before morning, and then
came a repetition OF the former expert
ence. 1t was no use for the type-man
to point to the fact that the second
food had warped the plush goods
back TO their original shape The
printer was moving when last heard
from.

An Aston and n Vanderbilt Have
Practically Quit the Country.

by a strange coincidence two repre

can Notwithstanding that used to be
antagonlstic, but now are friendly
sailed for Europe from sew York the
other day, with the pur.oS practically
OF expatriating themselves. William
Waldorf Astor had been in New York
city just one week. He came to at
! tend the funeral rites Of his late wife
OF course it was not 10 be expected
that upon such mission OF sorrow
he would see many of his old friends.
AT the same time, says the Philadel-
phia Press, I'm his brief stay 1t seemed
TO these friends that he made perfectly
clear his determination to have no
further interest In anything American
excepting such as the care OF his vast
property here entails. OF course, there
was public comment because, with the
exception Of Mr.. Drayton. no member
Of the other branch OF the Aston family
took part in the funeral ceremonies
OF the late Mrs. Astor, while some OF
themr in fact, were in the very whirl
Of exciting social pleasures.
Something that Mr.. Astor said or
did caused the report TO be spread
about the clubs and in business circles
that when he departed from America
he departed for good. and very likely
would never RETURN. excepting under
stress Of business engagement. EX-
actly what the chief influence which
led to this determination OF expatria-
ton was nobody seems to know. At
one time 1t was thought to be anger
at his political failure. But that is
impossible, since his failure to be elect
ed member of congress occurred come
time before he was nominated minister
to Italy by President Arthur. The rea-
sons probably are partly social and
partly family ones. Mr.. Aston Is said
to be very much pleased with his eX-
perience as a newspaper magazine pub
Usher, and stories were told of his in
tention very greatly enlarge his edi-
toTial investments.
William X. Vanderbilt, who sailed
on the same day, will, 1t is believed,
spend hereafter very much OF his time
in Europe. He does not propose to
eXpatriate himself so completely as
Mr.. AstOr does, but he has given over
his New York and Newport houses to
the use of his wife, has settled large
sum upon her and Ii Is now clear that
there is to be voluntary if not legal
separation. He reserves for himself
luxurious and yet after all compara-
lively modest apartments in the Met
ropolitan club, keeping them year In
and year out for his use whenever he
happens to visit New York. But his
friends think his coming Will be as In
frequent and his stays as brief, per-
haps, as are those of James Gordon
Bennett.

If the eating of flesh food be in

man from anthropoids, 1t can be urged
OIL the other side that the latter feed
on insects and when in captivity by
no means despises flesh food. The
first man, too, was probably "vege-
tarian," but necessity and the absence
of sufficient vegetable food for his
augmenting species may have driven
him to a flesh diet.

Since the Andamanites have come In

superseded this method of preserving
fire by the use of matches, which are

eat their food either raw or roasted,
