In the Sunday school room of an Epis- copal church in Brooklyn the other day lecture was given for the benefit of some worthy object. It 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 tho Sunday before. But an out sider was struck with something pecul- far nHo-.t th.h.

When You Meet In Japan.

Nothing is more amusing than to watch two acquaintances saluting in the streets of a Japanese town. As they come in sight of each other they slack en their pace and approach with down cast eyes and avertCd faces, as if neither was worthy of beholding the other. Then they bow low, so as to bring the face on level with the knees, on which the palms of the hands are pressed
 A succession of hissing sounds is next made by drawing ill the breath between the closed teeth, interspersed with se- ries of complimentary phrases uttered with great volubility in a sort of under toned falsetto, each trying to outdo 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 ab- ruptly ends, as if the difficulty were ca pBble Of none but a tIusquo solution, and the two pass on hurriedly, with 3 look Cf rr-~grr. r.tf.E

BRITISH IN AMERICA.
It Is Estimated That They Own Twenty Million Acres Here.

It Is Estimated That They Own Twenty
 Million Acres Here.
 How much property do British sub- jects own in America? The aggregate, based on absolute facts, is known to be at least 90, 900 acres, asserts Tit Bits.
 The largest of all is probably the Tex as possession of the syndicate which includes in its membership the Dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl Cadogan and the Baroness Burdett- -Coutts.
 The total amount of land held by this association is 8, 300, 900 acres. It is, as is the case with most of the Texas land, largely composed of what is called range country-that is, land that IS better adapted for cattle raising than anything else.
 Cattle and wheat are what the Brit ish investor seems to think money should be made on in the United States. That is why the syndicate represented by the British capitalist Vincent Scully owns 8, GOO, 900 acres of land in Nebras- ka, Iowa and Illinois. This property is situated in the heart of the wheat grow ing section.
 Two American girls, who now wear, by virtue of their marriage with Eng fish peers, two of the highest British titles-the Duchess of Marlborough and Lady Randolph Churchill-are interest ed with Sir Edward Reed in a syndi- cate that owns 9, 900, 900 acres situated ln Colorado, Wyoming and New Mex leo. This is purely a cattle country, and on 1t range thousands of head of live stock.
 There is another syndicate which in cludes among its member the Earl of Dainousie, as wei as Viscountess Cross, Lady Hamilton Gordon, the Marquis Cholmondeley and several others.
 There is holding in still different part of the country, for the lands of the syndicate comprise 1,600,00 acres in Mississippi, including cotton planta- tions, acres and acres of sugar cane and enough swine to stock l, 900 farms.
 Lord Tweeddale is a syndicate in himself and owns 1,30O, 900 acres. Like most individual land owners with large holdings, his property includes vast territory which, like that of the syndicate spoken of, includes immense tracts of grazing lands. Nearly all of this immense possession is devoted tu stock. Louis Republic.

A French Way to Cure Badness.

A French surgeon announces a novel cure for badness, which, however, is only within the reach of the wealthy. The first thing is to find some poor, starving wretch with a fine head of hair of the color which the patient de- sires. The former having consented to part with his hair for a stipulated sum, the doctor scalps the pair delicately and applies the hairy scalp of the subject to the bald client, and vice versa. With luck the graft is said to be success New York Sun.

Made Sure of If.

Some time ago was at small vil- lage in Somersetshire fitting upa steam dairy.
 AS is we'll known, water is a most essential thing in a dairy. So, being unable to obtain sufficient supply from a we'll already sunk, it was suggested to open a disused we'll near and try the water there.
 Instructions were given to the men to be careful on opening the we'll, as it might be unsafe to descend on account of foul air.
 They were told to light candle and let 1t down, and if it continued to burn they would then know that there was no danger in descending.
 On the following day, on asking if it was safe to go down, one of the men replied: "Yes, that's safe enough. l took the candle down with me, and it burnt beautifully. "-London Globe.
