A Japanese Dinner.

He found the great room I'D stairs half
full of people, who were seated in semi
circle at one end, writes Mrs. Mimoli G.
Fraser in The Pail Mall Magazine. Char
teris was little late, and the rest had be-
gun the indescribable meal which is called
Japanese dinner. All the strangest prod
ucts of earth, regardless of precedence,
hustle each other on the small square Ia
BILE before the guest and little by little
overflow it's bounds and are placed on the
floor around him--a growing nebula of
tiny plates, many of which he will not
touch if he be wise. NIF
What strikes him first perhaps is the
uncanny familiarity of some of them. If
this is really his first visit TO little Japan,
where could he possibly have seen three
pink shells lying on golden straw in
scarlet plate or large white fish, with be-
seeching countenance, comfortably put to
bed among sprouting rushes, all apparent
ly growing out Of the meshes of that fairy
basket work? Where, in the name of san
ity, has he had sugar peonies and chrysan-
themums done to the life double their nat
ural size or octopi and red crabs artistical-
1y chasing each other on plates of CORFU
gated glass? Is this the stuff that dreams
are made of?
Then he remembers. Of course they
have all come out of the embroideries and
off the lacquered tables of his childhood.
The dinner is an object lesson in exquisite
arrangements of form and color and
should be regarded as SUCH Viewed as
food it is distinctly unsatisfactory and
far, far oo@satisfying. The impression
on rising stiff and dizzy from the floor is
that of having watched a kaleidoscope and
swallowed Mont Blanc.

Ancient Hindoo Guilds.

Till the time of Vishnu's lawbook.
third century A. D., no one of these guilds
appears as pre-eminent, but in this work
''metal workers apd smiths of silver and
gold'' are mentioned particularly, though
this pre-eminence may be due to accident.
But the circumstance is interesting, be-
cause exactly these guilds became tho
chief guilds of ordinary towns and be-
cause they were very likely the first to
band together in self defense all the guilds
originating in this way, but the gold
smiths perhaps first of all, since the old
law in regard to smiths was SO extremely
severe as to call for some union on their
part.
Tho old law in regard to a goldsmith
found guilty of defrauding was based on
the principle that a goldsmith can most
easily deceive, and that when he does SO he
is "the vilest of sinners" The king is
therefore directed to see to it that a gold
smith found guilty of ches&ing shall be
chopped up into very small pieces with
sharp knives, whereas ordinary thieves or
cheats are merely beheaded.f BY uniting
together and ostracizing a guilty member
the guild could infiict punishment
which, if it was not so severe, probably
had still more deterrent effect. Yale

Newport News, Va, July 13-The
transport City of Washington arrived at
Fort Monroe this afternoon from Santiago

officers and 200 wounded and sick privates
who fought under General Shafter around
Santiago. Most of the men belonged to
the list New York, though some OF them
are rough riders, whilea few are from
the Ninth Massachusetts,, and 23rd and
34th Michigan regiments. 1t was i'm
possible to get q list of the wounded to-
night. AS the wounded soldiers were
brought ashore, some of the scenes were
heart rending, while others aroused the
widest enthusias m and cheers mingled
with sobs. VIII en- trooper, negro, who
had received nine Mauser bullets in his
body, was brought ashore on a stretcher
borne by four white men, the ramparts
of Fort Monroe resounded with cheers
sent up by soldiers and citizens. Those
soldiers who were seriously wounded
were taken to the Post hospital, where
they are being cared for, and the others
were placed in hospital tents. About
fifty men who were wounded in tina
hands and arms were permitted to go to
their homes and they left on steamers
bound for Baltimore and Washington,
from where they will go to their homes
Some of the wounded presented horrible
spectacles with bandages covering their
faces. There were no deaths on tn trans
ports, but colored soldiers who had been
woun led five times died in the hospital
tonight Every comfort has been provided
for the men, and Ii is the opinion of the
surgeons that nearly all will recover.
Some of the men brought to the fort to-
day are suffering from the effect of sun
stroke and malarial fever.
The steamer Oliyette is expected to ar
rive at Fort Monroe tomorrow with more
wounded soldiers on board.
