CUSTOMS OF The MIKApo.
His Majesty's Method of Dealing with
Ministers and People.

/
His majesty's daily customs are very
regular lie always goes to his study
at nine a. m, and remains at work
there until four p. IN. He reads and
signs all parliamentary laws and de-
crees.
When a cabinet minister addresses
his majesty about any public matter
he inquiries about the subject, the pur-
pose and condition, and decides it. He
is firm and not changeable. When he
decides a matter once he cannot after
that be moved.
At the beginning of the Matsukata's
cabinet, parliament decided to reduce
the salaries of the cabinet ministers and
other government officers. The prime
minister, Count Matsukata, addressed
his majesty about it. His majesty did
not consent, and he said: 'Many officers
cannot live upon fixed salary. Some
cabinet ministers have been obliged to
borrow money, and / have advanced
money from my treasury to support
them. If the present cabinet ministers
retain their positions by borrowing
money, all cabinet ministers therefore
cannot be so. Therefore ! cannot con-
sent to a reduction of salaries"
Count Matsul1ata retired from his
majesty. However, the cabinet once
more debated the question with tine
count, ard Matsukata went again to
consult the emperor.
His majesty was not inclined to see
him again, and sent an attendant TO say
to him: 4 have already commanded
about the reduction of salaries. ! can-
not see you any more"
The salaries were, therefore, not re-
duced.
His majesty understands the condi-
ton Of the lower classes, and familiar
lies himself with the private conduct of
the cabinet ministers. When he reads
newspaper articles relating to the pri
waite misconduct Of any cabinet minis
ter, and attacking him, his majesty
sometimes smiles.
His majesty is fond of reading books
and newspapers. lie is especially fond
of German books. He likes 10 compose
japanese poems, which be can do very
readily His ability in that respect is
much admired by his attendants.
His majesty dislikes all pretense and
hypocrisy.
When il has been reported to his ma
ieSty that some of his subjects have
given their lives in time Of flood or
earthquake to preserve his majesty's
picture, he has been much touched, but
he is anxious 10 discourage his subs
iects from such Quixotism, and to pre-
serve them from any but necessary
danger.
Withal, the emperor's life is a very
happy and peaceful one, blessed by the
love and respect Of grateful subjects;
and when his majesty makes a tour
anywhere in Japan without guards he
is in no danger, but is received every
where with reverence and joy.-Japan-
csc American Voice.

La Belle Fanehette, who has been hay-
ing everything her own way over at
the Follies theater for two or three
weeks. She was dressed all in white,
with the exception of a mantle of about
the same shade of blue as her eyes, and
she was barefooted and had gown or

of the stairs, with dowucast eyes, for a

stairway to herself-and then she came

"The thing was becoming too hot to

flames at the bottom of the elevator

off. He was shouting wildly for lad

and run up to him, but instead of al
lowing him to come down two firemen
assembled with axes and smashed a few
windows.
around the corner of the block there
was another man in distress. He also
imagined himself cut off from the stair
way. As he stood at the edge OF d sky
light, only three stories up, he held a
satchel of about a half-bushel capacity
in each hand.
Somebody catch these valises for

Nobody volunteered
'"Well, here they come anyhow, and
they struck in the mud of the alley, fat
tening out like rotten apples. Then he
descended the ladder.
meanwhile the fremen were gaining
on the blaze in the basement. They at
tackled it from two or three sides at
once, and the fght did not last long.
One by one the boarGers returned TO
their rooms TO put Thugs in order.
"The man who had ccme down the
fire escape gathered up his satchels and
entered the front door, approaching the
clerk alphabetically.
"'Will it be necessary he asked, as
he deposited the battered baggage on
the floor, for me to register again2'
"'No, there is no need of that, replied
the clerk.
"Wel, all right then; didn't know
the rules Of the house.
"Ah hour later the men were grouped
about in the corridors telling over and
over again the incidents of the morning.
The narrow escape and the behavior OF
the crowd were subjects for mutual con
graduation.

REGRET.


If I had known, o loyal heart,
When hand to hand we said farewell,
How for all time our paths would part,
What shadow DER our friendship fell,
j should have clasped your hand so clos'
In the warm pressure of my own
That memory still might keep its grasp,
If had known.
If I had known, when far and wide
We loitered through the summer land,
What presence wandered by our side,
And DER you stretched its awful hand,
j should have hushed my careless speech
To listen well to every tone
That from your lips fell low and sweet,
If l had known.
If I had known, when your kind eyes
Met mine in parting, true and sad
Eyes gravely tender gently wise.
And earnest rather more than glad
How soon the lids would lie above,
AS cold and white as sculptured stone,
j should have treasured every glance,
If had known.
If had known, how from the strife
OF fears, hopes, passions, here below,
Unto purer, higher life
That you were called, o friend, to go,
l should have stayed all foolish tears,
And hushed each idle sigh and moan,
To bid you a last, long godspeed,
If i had known.
If had known to what strange place,
What mystic, distant, silent shore,
You calmly turned your steadfast face
What time your footsteps left my door,
should have forged golden link,
To bind the heart, so constant grown,
And keep 1t constant ever there,
If had known,
il I had known that, until death
Shall with bis finger touch my brow
And still the quickening Of the breath
That stirs with lifes fun meaning now
So long my feet must tread the way
OF our accustomed paths alone,
] should have priced your presence more,
If ! had known.
If I had known how soon for you
Drew near the ending Of the fight
And on your vision, fair and new,
Eternal peace dawned into sight,
] should have begged, as loves last gift
That you before Gods great, white throne
Would pray for your poor friend on earth,
If had known.

An American Discovery,
John Morrow, an Eminent Chemist of
Springfield, O., Finds "a Remedy
That Promises TO Revolutionize
the Practice of Medicine.

| The present year will always be a notable
one in the history of the nineteenth century
for the many wonderful discoveries il records
Every branch of science has made great strides
the most remarkable Of which, perhaps, have
been made IN the practice of medicine. Now
comes the information that John Morrow, an
eminent chemist OF Springfield. Ohio, has dis
covered a remedy that promises TO be almost
infallible in curing all diseases of the kidneys.
30 many of the most important advances of
medical science are made by foreign scientists
that such a report is not only of great import
/ but highly gratifying as well.
Morrow's discovery, while the true ingredi
ents have not yet been published. is in the
form OF yellow tablet and is known 10 the
medical world as Morrow's Kidneoids.
! This remarkable remedy has been tried in
, some OF the most severe cases Of chronic and
acute diseases of the kidneys. ard in each case
has quickly produced the most beneficial re-
suits.
The fact that death from Bright's disease
shows daily increase is an unpleasant indi-
cation that disorder Of the kidneys Is fast be-
coming an afiiiction Of the human race and anv
remedy that promises sure relief is indeed a
blessing TO mankind.
The symptoms OF deranged XII neys are too
apparent to require a physicians diagnosis.
pain IN the side and back, aching bones, a con
tlnnal feeling OF langhor, are followed by i'm
paired vision, loss of appetite, swelling of the
hands and feet and so on until Bnght's dis
ease gets hold.
1t IS so insidious in its attack that the busy
man or woman too often associates the symp-
toms with some trifling ailment until the de-
velopment of the disease causes a eomplete
collapse. With Morrow's Kidneoids Il < In
tended TO remedy all this by enabling any one
to stop the progress Of the disease and effect

clan or the abandonment of their duties.
