zine: Even those who desire to be
strictly accurate sometimes erect their
story from single instance, as geol-
ogist conceives the framework of a
long-extinct animal from one bone.
The fallacy of so doing is we'll illus
trated by the following story told to
the writer by one of the participants:
A few years ago two Japanese gentle
men of high standing were travelling in
the United States. and, among other
places, visited large and widely
known mandatory. They were after
ward invited by the senior member Of
the firm to lunch with him. Colonel M.
was also OF the party. 1t happened
that the first food placed on the table
was dish Of fried potatoes, and as
the manufacturer enthusiastically ex-
planned his business to his guests he
unthinking!y took piece of potato
from the dish with his fingers and ate
it.. A second and third piece followed.
The Japanese listened politely, but
Colonel M. observed that they were
closely watching, their hosts method
of eating. The colonel has a keen
sense of humor, and he at once decided
that he would follow his friends ex-
ample and see what the others would
do. He did SO, and instantly both
japanese made dive for the dish, and
thus they sat eating potatoes with their
fingers, presenting, 1t is to be feared.
the appearance of four men who had
had nothing to eat for long while,
and expected never to get anything
again. Will it be surprising If In a
future Japanese book on America this
breach Of good manners shall find q
place as an American custom?

He Went Down.

He Went Down.
They were talking about swimming
at the city hall the other day and
among those engaged in the discussion
was Jim" Springman, the we'll known
deputy marshal says the Washington
Star. Springman has charge of the
cage at the city hall where the pris-
oners are detained before being taken
into court and also has charge of their
transportation to and from the Jail.
He is man of many stirring adven-
lures and of remarkable physical pow

not swim his own length was heard
with not little establishment. But

I shot so quick that hadn't time to

The proper degree of formality OBJ
served at the White House, so far as
the officials are concerned, is some
times in contrast with the procedure
in earlier days. In recently published
recollections of long life, the author
describes a scene he witnessed at the
White House in President Van Buren's
time. In honor of the Inauguration, a
cheese had been sent to the new chief
magistrate. 1t was 1.-The size of large
round table," Pieces of it, together
with crackers, were handed round to
persons assembled. THE whole house
and almost the whole city was redolent
of cheese, fragments of it lying every.
where on the streets" All this may
seem to have brought the President
nearer the people, but the country can
to-day quite appropriately dispense
with that form of paternalism.

lemon handling in Sicily (reduced to
United States money! as follows:
Overseer, per day, SO to 63c; expert
enced women who select the fruit, Bic;
wrappers Tin tissue paper), 19c; girls
who clean lemons (pick out lice with
sticks and brushes), lac; girls who do
other various kinds of labor, Ice. All
these are with the exception of the
oyerseer) women and girls, who have
to feed and clothe themselves out of
these scanty wages. They live upon
a "panuzza" (small loaf Of bread three
times a day with little fruit, plate
of maccaroni and perhaps a glass of
CHEAP wine. They commence work
early in the morning Cat this season
before daybreak). do not eat anything
until 10 or IL o'clock. when they rest
q few moments and eat their bread.
The men who make and nail up the
boxes receive 45c per day, and those
who pick the fruit from the trees &c.
Another expense is transportation OF
the fruit to the city, depending upon
the distance. Lemons are bought by
the thousand, counting 1910 to the
thousand. The price paid for the
september to December crop runs from
S2.1s to $252 per thousand. The jan
uary to May crop runs from soc to
SIPS. although extra choice fruit OF
this crop which will bear shipping
from England to the United States
brings as high as $3.50 per thousand
The large lemons known as "spata

even az high as $3.50 to $3.50 and even
higher. Per thousand.
