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

Made and Served on Street Corners While
You Wait.
The little brown men of the mikado
have just as sweet tooth as their white
cousins across the sea, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. They are very fond
of American candy, when they can get
it, but our cheapest candy is so dear
to them that they cannot afford to buy
more than half a cents worth at
time. Nevertheless, they make their
own candies 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. It re-
quires no machinery and no cooking
1t is made for you on the street corners
of Japan while you are looking. The
dealer has in a 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 q
thick snow, which fall into a cup or
goblet. He rubs up enough ice to about
half fill the vessel, throws over the top
of it 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 it in whatever
style you like. You can mix it up and it
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 a
small cup of this simple but pleasant
delicacy the charge is two cents, and
for an eggcup full, one cent.

A LIVING MEAL.
A Fish That Watches It's Own Demolition
LIS japanese Delicacy.

n Elsn 1ndI aUcneS IUs OWN bemOIlC1On
LIS Japanese Delicacy.
The most dainty dish to the japanese
epicure is none other than a living fish.
This horrible delicacy is served as fol-
lows: Resting on a large dish is a
mat formed of rounds of glass held to-
gether by plated threads, on which is
living fish with gills and mouth NOV
ing regularly; at its back rises bank
of white shreds resembling damp ising
glass, but in reality a colorless seaweed,
while the fish itself rests on damp green
algae. In front is pile of small slices
OF sawfish garnished with a radiating
tuft of variegated bamboo leaves. A
portion of the raw fish from the pile
in front of the living victim is now
placed on a saucer and passed to one
guest, and so on with the rest until
the pile is consumed. Then the carver
raises the skin (Which has been already
loosened) of the living fish. and pro-
reeds to take slice after slice from the
upper part. The creature has been
carved while still alive, the pile of flesh
first served consisting of the lower half
of the body. This has been done with
such consummate skill that no vital
part has been touched; the heart, the
liver, the gills and the stomach are left
intact, while the damp seaweed on
which the flesh rests suffices to keep the
lungs in action. The miserable victim
looks on with lustrous eyes while it's
own body is consumed, probably the
only instance of a living creature as
sisting as spectator at its own en-

SHE MADE HIM HEAR.
Had Some Feelings, IL the Trunk
Hadn't.

Had Some Feelings, IL the Trunk
Hadn't.
He was asbarp-loolling little man who
was handling the baggage, and it was a
rosy-cheeked little woman who was
watching him handling her old trunk
with ungentle haste, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t was not that she cared SO
much for the trunk, but she had come.
from the same part of the country
and knew the baggageman's wife be-
fore he did, and here he had quite for
gotten her. She did not know, either,
that the roar of the city and the crash
on breaking trunks had made him deaf.
just as the lid of her trunk came
asunder from the body she asked, tim
idly:
''How is your wife, Mr.. Peters?''
81 can't help it; you ought to have
stronger trunk answered the baggage
man, instantly on the warpath.
''Oh, no matter about the trunk. How
are Mary and the children? ?"
''Tied up with piece of rope, ma'am
it will look as well as it ever did"
''Mary and the children" shrieked the
little woman.
''It's nothing of the kind. Report me
all you want to. That old trunk isn't
fit for the ark" and he gave it a savage
kick.
81 don't care a copper about that
old trunk" screamed the now angry
woman, but if you kick it again I'll
have you arrested and fined and sent
TO Jail. I've got some feeling if that
trunk hasn't, Bill Peters!"
And that time the baggageman heard.

EXPRESSED an OPINION,
What a Countryman Thought Of the Work
of Physician

of a Physician.
One of the most prominent physicians
IT Washington owns farm somewhere
in New England, and whenever he gets
unbearably tired of his fashionable pa
tents in town he goes there, puts on
his oldest clothes, lays in a stock of corn
cob pipes and rusticates. One day last
summer, says the Washington Post, he
was jogging lazily along a, country road
in a rickety old cart drawn by a horse
almost as rickety. A countryman walk
ing oa the same road asked for g. lift
and the two fell into conversation.
''Who are you working for?" asked
the countryman.
ooh, I'm working for DR.. j, down
there" answered the physician.
''What doin'?"
"Oh," went on the doctor. 81 do
everything for him. I take care of
him, you know. dress him and feed
him, and [ even wash his face and put
him to bed. I do everything he needs
done"
Glow much do you get for it ?'' asked
the native.
"My board and Clothes"
can you do all that for him-wash
him, an dress him, an feed him. an all
that?"
Yes
The countryman looked at the doc
tor moment in silence. Then he leaned
over the wheel and spat solemnly.
well, of all the dern fools [ ever see!'
was all he said

Dance in Church.

There was a curious, and to many
English people an incredible, sight to
have been seen in Seville recently, viz.
a dance in a church. Saturday was the
feast of the assumption and one of the
four days on which the dance is per-
formed, the others being the first two
days OF the carnival and the feast of the
Qualification. 1t is danced by eight
small boys, and it's measure is slow.

IRREGULARITIES OF MILLIoNAIREs
Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.

Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.
I have been asked whether | ever re-
ceive social invitatio from million
aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
nv stamps, and what / think of the
practice on the part of the millionaires,
says London Truth. 1t is not often that
I am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is remarkable fact that
I have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate of postage,
and as others have had similar ex-
perience / suppose that millionaires as
a class have a weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part of mil
lionaires of which I have experience is
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to a meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally, would
rather that a man took a halfpenny off
the postage of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
be many people who, when invited to
the houses of millionaires. would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, if possible, that the invitation
should be sent on postcard, so that ali
who run may read. Perhaps it is from
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millpnaires patronize
the halfpenny post. Let US think as
we'll of Dives as we can.

Cinnamon Buying Wives.

The Cinnamon of Australia, when they
take a notion to marry, write to a mat
rimonial agent in Hong Kong some
what as follows: 81 want wife. She
must be a maiden under 20 years of
age, and must not have left her fathers
house. She must also have never read
a book, and her eyelashes must be half
an inch in length. Her teeth must be
as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon,
her breath must be like unto the scents
of the magnificent odorous groves of
Java, and her attire must be from the
sill1en weavers of Ka-la-Ching, which
are on the banks of the greatest river
in the world--the everfowing Yang
tse-Iiang." The price Of Chinese
woman delivered in Sydney is $3.50, but
two Chinese women only cost $3.50;
therefore, the Chinese import the wom-
en- in couples. The importer never sees
the women before they arrive, and then
he generally selects the best one. The
other is shown around to number of
well-to-do Chinese, and after they have
inspected her she is submitted to what
may be called public auction.

The following swindle is being
worked in Oregon and Northern Cali.
fornia, and no doubt it will be at
tempted in this section shortly.
Swindler number one calls upon a
farmer with patent wagon tongue
and informs him that he is on his way
home having made good thing out oi
it and has only one county to sell. He
tells the farmer he can have it for 800,
and ii he wants it to write to him.
Swindler number two has heard that
the farmer has the right of the county
for the patent wagon tongue, and, as
he has made big thing OF it in Penn
sylvania, he wants to buy the right OF
the county and offers the farmer $3.50
and pays $40 to bind the bargain. The
farmer writes number one and sends
him a note for 800. He never hears
Of either OF the men again, but his
note comes up for collection in a
neighboring town, and he is out 500.
