ICE CREAM IN JAPAN.
Made and Served on Street Corners wni
You Wait.

Made and Served on Street Corners While
Nou Wait.
The little brown men of the mikado
4 have just as sweet a tooth as their white
Z cousins across the sea, SAYS the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. They are very fond
of American candy, when they can get
II. but our cheapest candy is so dear
to them that they cannot afford TO buy
more than half a cents worth at n
time. Nevertheless, they make their
own candles and sweeties. and some of
them are very nice.
They have an ice cream which Is
cooler and perhaps more healthful than
that which we make ourselves. 1t re-
quires no machinery and no cooking.
II is made for you on the street corners
of Japan while you are looking. The
dealer has in box any number OF
chunks of ice. You give him an order
and he takes it out clear, clean piece,
half as large as the fist, and with a
coarse iron crater rubs the ice into
thick snow, which fall into a cur or
goblet. He rubs up enough ice to about
half fill the vessel, throws over the top
of it a spoonful of powderer sugar, and
sqeezes into it the juice of half lemon.
He hands the vessel to you, with
spoon, and you can eat il in whatever
style you like. You can mix IL up and il
becomes like water ice. or you can pick
out the ice and sugar together and con-
sumo that separately. IN the place of
lemon you can have. according to the
season, lime. orange, pineapple. null
berry, cherry, tea and coffee. For
small cup of this simple but pleasant
| delicacy the charge is two cents, and
for an eggcup full. one cent

BEWARE OF soFT-sHELL CRABS.
Peculiar Parts to Be Regarded by Those
Who Eat Them.

VINO Eat Ihcm.
There is no danger in eating soft
shelled crabs" observed an epicure, "lf
they are fresh. but they are poison il
they are not. They should be well sea-
soned, ard an extra lot of pepper put
on them as a precaution, especially IL
the weather is very hot when they are
eaten. or if they are eaten shortly be-
fore one retires. 1t is the habit of many
persons to eat soft-shelled crabs at
night time do not know but that they
taste better then. 1t is somewhat dan
gerous to many to drink milk after eat
ing crabs. Milk seems to develop the
collie that follows eating soft-shelled
crabs with some persons.
Another thing that should be re-
membered, and that is that sharp
thunderstorm win kill soft-shelleld
crabs, and even the hard-shelled crabs
at times. Unless the softshelled crab
had been cooked before tie thunder
storm, think the safer plan would be
to decline to eat IL. Under all other
conditions there is no danger in partak-
ing of them, for do not think anyone
would be criminal enough to cook q
dead crab, hard or soft shell. The
proper way to kill crab Ia 10 throw
him into O kettle of boiling water. I
know that some people think this is
cruel, but 10 is no more cruel than to
stab them with a needle or kill them
with chloroform, as have known some
extra sensitive persons TO do"

ILLINOIS

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Returns from over the
state of Illinois indicate that Mckinley
has made big gains in proportion through
out the counties and towns as he has in
Chicago. seeming 10 justify the claim Of
the central committee that the state has
gone 10e,oo0 republican. If the gains
which are already reported hold up in the
districts yet to be heard from, the major
ity. il is said, VIII exceed that aSure. In
the southern part of the state the gains
have been heavy, and several towns and
counties reported at as have given Bryan
small majorities.
From all other parts of the state the
dispatches received at state headqual ters
claim substantial republican majorities.
In the dispatches. comparing the votes
OF Tanner and Mckinley, the former
has in most instances ran slightly behind
the latter.
The figures, however, plainly show that
Tanners loss was no gain for Alleged.
Forman was the gamer. Comparisons
made with the vote cast for Harrison in
1892 show very heavy gains in nearly every
instance over the republican vote cast
that year.
The republican state central commit
tee has issued the following:
1.-The Citizens of Illinois-The republican
state central committee congratulates you
on your action at the polls to-day which
places the western empire state at the
head of the list of honest and law-abiding
commemorative in the union. The cleo
tion of Governor Tanner by n plurality
equal TO the wonderful strength of the
idol of protection Is tribute TO his worth
and declaration that the people of Hi
nois know he will give them a good adj
ministration. We possibly return a solid
delegation to the lower house of congress
to support the president-elect in a policy
which will benefit the whole country and
secure a legislation which will send to
the senate a republican In place of Gen
eral John NJ. Palmer The verdict will be
received with joy by the entire nation.

1t must be said in defense of mos

elaborate blood-sueking apparatus is
one of those things that no fellow can

served with their beaks inserted in
boiled potatoes or the table. and they
have even been seen busily engaged in

have shown fondness for molasses.

mate based upon the gains and losses. The
best estimate obtainable indicates that
Maine and Vermont have gone for McI<in-

gives about 1900, Massachusetts, about
10000 and Rhode Island and Connecticut
