Our distinguished Senator and fellow

JAPANESE swoRDsMEN.
A Sword Cut for Which an Ordinary Man
Is Unprepared.

a sWofu Out I0T NDlcn an UrufnAry Man
Is Unprepared.
The pictures and carvings of Japan,
as a rule, present the warriors armed
with two swords-one on each side,
says writer in the Kansas City Star.
This crossword matter is more a part
of ceremony and state than anything
else.
When Japanese means business he
only needs one sword. They are not so
skiliful Of fence as the Europeans, but
, nevertheless have a number Of cuts and
slashes which, being in their nature so
many surprises, would give swords
man unused to their methods some
little trouble.
The first move Jap makes in a
sword fight is fraught with danger to
his opponent. There are no prelimi-
naries with Jap. The fight begins
with him while his blade is yet in it's
scabbard, and. as he draws his weapon,
wisdom will give him about forty feet
OF room.
Grasping the scabbard near the cen
ter, he slightly tits it so that the point
Of the sword as it hangs by his side is,
if anything, little hlgner than the
hilt. The sword itself is curved, very
heavy, and with its single edge as
keen as twenty razors.
When he draws it streams from the
scabbard like beam Of light, and as
1t comes he makes a prodigious step
forward with his right foot, accompany.
ing the whole with a rapid circular
slash upward Of the back-handed sort.
The whole performance is one motion,
and rapid in its execution as thought.
Your Jap will reach man dozen
feet away, and the keen blade, starting
its work low, viii split an opponent
like mackerel. A Japanese swords
man always makes this upward sweep
on drawing his weapon, whether an
enemy is in sight or not.

New York Tribune: The Malta Soci-
ETY. in New Orleans does not seem to
have been pulled up by the roots in the
massacre of its members which took
place there few years ago. 1t is still
active and apparently quite capable of
its old murderouS exploits. The Papal
delegate, who recently visited that city,
came Immediately under its ban and
was forced to flee before its wrath. His
offense was that in sermon he had
declared that the Italian immigrants
came largely from the criminal classes
of that country and did not represent
either the middle class or the industri-
Gus poor. SO far as the New Orleans
contingent of that population is con-
cerned, its conduct in the past affords
considerable justification of the dele
gates atlirmatiOns. The Malta. which
is merely "A society of murderers. has
had one sharp lesson there which it has
obviously not laid sufficiently to heart.
and it is just possible that it is prepar-
ing itself for another. an incident to be
more deplored than the forcible depor-
tation of every Italian in the common
wealth

That gentle. succulent bivalye. the
oyster. has furnished many text for
lay sermons in the past, and one would
think the subject had been exhausted.
but an event which took place recently
ut Jacksonville. Ohio. recently calls for
further mention. At this little village
n well-knoWn physician was quietly
eating his evening meal, which began
with Il plateful of raw oysters. DR..
Louis is in the habit of biting his oyS-
ters in two as he eats them. and in do
ing so, on the third tasty mouthful, he
came down with four teeth at least
upon Il round. hard substance. which,
on investigation, proved to be pearl.
1t not only proved to be this, but as it
was discovered in that portion of the
oysters anatomy known as the stom-
ach, and as it had not been ruined by
the heat of cooking the monetary value
of the find was placed by an expert at
$500. This is encouraging. For Il long
time bacterologists, those disagreeable
people who go about sizing up the num-
Der of germ of hacilli in ones compost
ton and telling about it, have asserted
all sorts of horrible things about the
oyster. such as the fact that the ordin-
airy restaurant brand contains between
"A 600 and SSS 900 germs to the oyster,
and when a man takes a plate of half
dozen he must maSticate somewhere
between 264, 900 and over 100000 of
bacilli-but all this will end now. If
man can be reasonably sure of finding
$500 pearl in a raw oyster, in the in
terror of the State of Ohio. he will
brave even that multitude of fierce ami
malculae and crunch their bones with
joy. Germs--waat are they when ev-
cry ten million may bring two big
pearls or more? Why, such a prospect
tempts one to so into oyster-eating for
Il living!
