Possibly it is because Japan is pet Of

frequently spoken of as 'little japan"
Among the nations Of the earth Japan is
not especially little either in area or
population. The area of Japan, 1N,-

square miles than that Of the United
Kingdom. Furthermore, there are H.

Mikado, against g, 600 900 in the United
Kingdom, taking latest census results in
both cases. Japan's population is larger
than Italy's by fully 10000. 00U while her
area is 81 ,O00, 600 miles greater. No one
speaks Of Italy as Little ITALY" although
she is SO populous as Japan. Japan has
nearly ton times the area and almost
twenty times the population Of Denmark.

Hoods ~Sarsaparina
Is the Only
True Blood Purifier
Profit I'm the Horsh RadIsh.

The horsh radish belongs TO the
scurvy grass family, all heating and
aromatic, and is the most valuable
of the species. 1t is now used only as
a delicacy among a few. When the
roots are dug the crowns are cut off
and these again planted in rows three
inches apart and about eighteen inches
wide; these should be planted very
deep and in very rich ground and al
lowed to grow three years. When the
stalks (roots) will be as thick as broom
handles, and as long as the depth Of
the soil will let them be. They will
soon be ready to lift, and use. Observ-
ing that a three years succession Is
needed. 1t Is au exceedingly valuable
crop to raise, as very few raise it
when IL should be used by every one.
Although IL is a native of Great Brit
ain, and it adapts itself in every way
here and Is perfectly hardy.-Mer.-

Tn. oueep nj Nice.

The place chosen by Queen Victoria
for the scene of her annual holiday
this year is one of the most delightful
on all the Rivera. CimieZ is practi-
cally a part of Nice. But it lies on =
hill in the suburbs of that city, wher
the air is ~perceptibly dryer and at the
same time less exciting 20 nervous peo-
pie than in Nice itself. But perhaps
the queens chief reason for select
ing Cimiez was that no other place is
so excellent and lasting in its good
effects on the rheun atism. The
queens sufferings from the tiresome
complaint are now chronic and fire.
Quently very severe.-Hartford Times.

Indicate as surely as any physical symp-
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues OF the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and il the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in a state of re.
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result o!
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is q concise, reasonable explana.
ton OF the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves. tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner'
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements Of

rilla. Read the next column.

IRyING,s NAUGHTY LEGS.
They Helped to Puzzle n Scotch CIer-
gyman.

Some time ago, when Henry Irving
was in Edinburgh. a Scotch clergyman
came and informed him that he was to
attend the theater that week for the
first time In his life, to see n OF the
Lyceum productions.
Irving felt duly fiattered, and so ex-
pressed himself: but the divine, after
a certain amount of stammer. ne, con-
fessed that he did not wish TO see a
play in which there was a ballet.
Irving. greatly puzzled, informed him
that there was no dancing In the plays
he was then producing, but that, ac-
cording to the slang of the profess
sion," the supernumeraries of both
sexes We're technically called "the bal
let" and hence probably arose the
visitors mistake.
The worthy mans face beamed, says
the San Francisco Argonaut, and he
took an affect!onate leave Of his host;
but at the dcDr he was seized with
misgivings aEl suddenly demanded,
p~oipt-blank:

The Name Is Everything.

The many tricks OF trade that are
practiced in these times are justified
by a prominent soap manufacturer OF
this city as being positively necessary
to induce a stupid public to buy what
is for their benefit. The article IN
which he takes the most pride Is 8
pure CASTLE soap, purer and better
than that made in CASTLE. He stamp
ed it as American CASTLE and was un
able to sell any quantity. The people
would not buy what little was taken
by retail dealers. Under these cir
cumstances the manufacturer changed
the stamp on his soap TO one abound
ing in Spanish words which meant
the same thing. Since the change in
stamp the sales have been remarka

Announcing Charity.

A good many of the woman's clubs
have found it advisable to drop the
custom Of announcing charity enter
tainments and the like from the chair,
and in most of the clubs the sale of
tickets is opposed, if not forbidden.
1t is indeed high time to cry a halt,
for it was coming to such a pass that
members really dreaded to attend
meetings in the various organizations
to which they belonged; for, though
it is "hard TO give your money up" il
is harder to say "No," and easier to
stay away than to face the disagreed,
bic choice.

A REGULARITY IN TRADE.
Lively Demand for Articles when
the Dealer Runs Out of Them.

John said a furniture salesman,
the other day. to a mover whom he
had summoned, this bedroom set Is
sold, but it is not to be delivered just
yet. Move it out Of the salesroom at
once and store 1t somewhere till /
want it,"
Whats the use Of moving Ii until
you send 1t Up Il meT' asked the pur-
chaser, idly. why don't you cave 1t
where IL isF"
The salesman uttered a queer little
laugh and said:
1T il evident that you were never in
the furniture business. or you would
not ask that question. liz l should mark
that set sold and leave it here in the
salesroom in plain sight ii would prob
ably lose us several good sales
How SOL" asked the purchaser, with
an unbelieving look.
at illustrates a universal weakness"
laughed the salesman. Everybody
wants what he can't get, and there Is
nothing quite so attractive to the aver
age buyer as a piece of furniture that
somebody else has bought before he
came around.
eff / left that bedroom set out mark
ed sold half a dozen persons would
say before night that 1t vas exactly
the set they wanted, and when they
heard there were no duplicates they
would fuss around enviously, and moth
else In the establishment would satisfy
them.
Eventually they would 60 off dis
contentedly and buy elsewhere, though
the chances are that IL there was no
sold tag on the set none of them would
give 1t more than a passing glance.
while a fair proportion Of them would
purchase other sets. 1t Is a little hui
man weakness, that's all.
$50 arises one Of the tricks Of the
trade. When a dealer sells a piece of
furniture Of which he has no duplicate
he hustles II out of the salesroom as
quick as he can, lest 1t lose him other
trade. But when he sells a piece OF
which he has a duplicate he puts a bic
sold tag on 1t and leaves 1t in open
sight as long as possible for a bait for
