When You Meet In Japan,

Nothing is more amusing than to
watch two acquaintance saluting in the
streets Of Japanese town. AS they
como in sight of each other they slack
en- their pace and approach with down
cast eyes and averted faces, as if neither
was worthy of beholding the other.
Then they bow low, so as to bring the
face on a level with the knees, on which
the palms of the hands are pressed.
A succession Of kissing sounds is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth, interspersed with Sc.
ries Of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in a sort of under
toned falsetto. each trying to Guido his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza Of
Language, while the palms are diligent-
ly rubbed against each other.
At last the climax is reached, and
each endeavors to give the precedence
to the other. For some moments, per-
haps for a full minute, the polite con-
test continues. Then the ceremony alb
ruptly ends, as if the difficulty were ca
pable of none but a brusque solution,
and the two pass on hurriedly, with a
look Of extreme relief.

the tired out nervous system to healthy

to the nerve centers in the stomach, gent
ly stimulates the liver and kidneys, and

tiles in the blood. Electric bitters i'm.

it as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for fifty cents

She Was Well po.te1.

In the Sunday school room of an Epis-
copal church in Brooklyn the other day
a lecture was given for the benefit of
some worthy object. 1t was on a week
day, but on the hymn board in the front
of the room were what the regular mem
bers of the congregation said were the
numbers Of the hymns that had been
sung on the Sunday before. But an out
slider was struck with something pecul.
lar about them. There were four num-
bers arranged in line one under the
other, as is customary on the hymn
boards, and they We're, as they appeared
to the audience gathered for lecture,

there is no seven hundred and eleventh

To look at the map one would suppose
every Philippine Islander would have
rather more water than he needed. It
seems that this is not so. In the Youths
Companion for the week of June Both
Charles B. Howard, former resident of
Manila, says, speaking of domestic cares:
THE most arduous duty of the servants
leach servant gets "a a MONTH was to
provide the house with water, which was
brought every morning in a hogshead
fastened to handcart, from the public
fountain nearly mile away. It had to
be carried laboriously upstairs in buck
cts and emptied into an enormous por-
celain tank, shaped like haitian egg-shell,
which stood in back room, and con-
tanned the households daily supply for
washing, cooking and drinking-that
used as drinking water being carefully
boiled and filtered. When first went to
Manila l had no idea how precious water
was, and on the morning after my arrival
Irose quite early, eager for bath. Now
the usual way of taking a bath in a Ma
Mia house is to dip the water from the
tank, with big cocoanut-shell, and pour
it over ones body, but nobody had told
me that, and being delighted with the
appearance Of the great tank filled with
clear, sparkling water, soused into it,
and was having pleasant time, when
one of the servants, named Felipe, hear
ing suspicious noises, came to investi-
gate. At the sight of me he threw up
his hands in horror and dismay, and chat
tered at me in Spanish, of which did
not then understand word. Finding
his protests of no avail, he rushed away
after an interpreter, and soon returned
with one of my messmates, who was
very sleepy and much bewildered-
Felipe's disjointed EXPLANATIONS having
made him fear that something dreadful
had happened. He gasped when he saw
me, and then explained the situation.
However, he said, philosophicaly,
now that you are in, you may as we'll
stay there. You won't get another bath
like that while you are here And

A. II. Mccoy Of Horsecave, Ky., d
famous throughout the Blue Grass State,
For about twoscore years he owned the
stagecoach lines between Horsecave
and Mammoth cave and Glasgow and
Mammoth cave. He operated these lines
all through the troublous times of the
civil war. OF course he met with many
narrowing experiences during the time,
and which he likes to tell.
Probably no incident connected with
his career is more thrilling than the
hold up Of one Of his stages by Jesse
James and three Of his "pals'' some
time back in the seventies. This Incl
dent is described in one Of the stories Of
that notorious highwayman. Itoccurred
early one morning. When the stage was
about half way between Horsecave and
Mammoth cave, four men sprang out
from the side Of the road and ordered
the driver to halt. One Of the men
caught the horses and the other three
drew pistols and held them at the heads
Of the driver and passengers. The driver
Of course did as ordered. and the men
proceeded to search the passengers Ev.
erything Of value was taken.
One Of the men robbed was q man
named Roundree, who was we'll known
at that time. He had valuable gold
watch, which James confiscated for his
own use. The timepiece was held very
dear by Roundtree, as it had been pre-
sented him by Ex-Governor Knott, who
was at that time young man. The no.
torious Jesse carried this watch during
the rest Of his life Louisville Dispatch.

They Are Good Bowlers.

A team of bowlers from The Dalles
came to town almost unannounced one
day last week and defeated a team
made up of bowlers at the Oregon
Road Club. 1t was return match,
the Portland team having been de-
feated at The Dalles the previous week.
So few people were aware of the match
that but a small crowd witnessed the
games. The Dalles bowlers are all
good ones and put up stiff games.
The teams tied on games. but the visit
ors scored the most pins by 10 and so
were the winners. The scores of all
the players were up to the average
aud for new bowlers the visitors made
a splendid showing, far better than
was expected. If their work at the
Road Club is a sample of what they
can do all the time, they will have no
trouble in holding their own with any
team in the association. They will be
challengers for the Feldenheimer
trophy some time during the year, and
it will take a strong team to keep the
cup from them.-Oregonian.

district, which holds that the North.

taxes upon its granted lands, will
place those counties that compromis-
ed the Northern Pacific taxes in a

he never recovered, and although he
had everything done for him but all to
no avail. When the hour of his de-
