An Old Japanese Bank,

Japan has banking house that has
been in business without a break for
over three hundred years. 1t began
with Yechigo No Kami an impoverished
feudal noble OF the province of Ise,
who broke away from the traditions OF
his caste and went into the LIQUOR
trade, manufacturing sal1i from rice.
One of his sons established a bank.
which two centuries ago was removed
to TOXIC, the present capital, and from
the name of the principal at the time
took the name by which it is now known.
OF the Mitsui bank. Like the Roths-
childs, the whole family is engaged in
the business, n marked feature of
which is that the capital belongs to all
N common, while no one member can
claim separate share. The most
competent individual is chosen presi.
dent. The bank has now over thirty
branches, and is the largest private
hank in .Ianan.

Arerror to Criminals.

N. Bertillon's recent successes in the
Identification of anarchists have drawn
much attention to the Anthropometric
department of Paris, over which he
presides. He is the official of whom
the habitual criminal is most in dread,
for he has brought his system to such
. state of perfection that five minutes
sometimes sufices for the discovery of
the photograph taken perhaps years
ago, and to which are appended vari-
Gus telltale details, including the dates
Of the condemnations which the culprit
has already undergone. The ease with
which this is done is all the more re-
variable owing to the fact that the
department contains upwards of one
hundred and fifty thousand similar
documents. Everything is SO well
classified that photographs which may
not have been looked at for years are
promptly discovered. Nine measure
ments Of prisoners are taken, and the
men employed in this work are SO ex-
pert that 1t is done in a few minutes.

HER OBNOXIOUS ATTIRE.

Bad nerves are frequently very
troublesome. Experience proves that
it is always advisable to nip their dem
onstrations in the bud before they get
too audacious and assume control OF
the whole system.
At a garden concert the other even

fine-loolsing, elderly woman in n high
ly desirable seat seemed to be laboring
under mysterious malady. She
twisted about, she wriggled, she rubbed
her hands together excitedly, she
leaned back and shut her eyes as If in
desperation. What could be the mat
ter with her? She did not seem warm,
for she did not fan, and she looked too
we'll to be on the verge of stroke of
any kind. Suddenly the mystery was
solved. Before her sat Il lovely GUNNER
girl clad in u charming fluffy gown Of
silk gauze. The perturbed old lady
leaned and touched her on the shout
der. Then she said:
Young lady, your gown is beauti-
full, but it is made with the stripes run
ming bias on your back, and they drive
me nearly frantic. Would you mind
changing seats with me, SO | can't see
them? If you don't shall certainly

the Topelsa journal. The dance lasts
day and night for sometimes as long asa
eight days, though of late years the
limit has been shortened as civiliza-
ton approached. 1t will probably
soon die out altogether.
OF course the braves-they alone do
the dancing-do not dance all this time
without rest. The dance simply keeps
up that long, different braves dancing
while others rest. The exercises are
conducted in ring not unlike the cir
Gus ring. The participants are dressed
i'm all the grotesque costumes of the
race, with feathers, beads and furs.
The braves are seated around the edge
of the ring with faces to the center.
The music. which consists of several
Indians beating on one skin drum in
the middle of the ring, you could not
distinguish, but there must be some
tune about the noise, for the players

A LESSON IN POLiTENESS.

Gov. Steunenberg's Views.

spokane keVleW, Oct. q.
Governor Frank Steunen-
berg Of Idaho is in the city.
He will leave this morning tor
Wardner, where he will spend
two days in looking over the
condition of affairs, in COM
pany with his representative,
Bartlett Sinclair, and Secre-
tary of State M. Patrie, who
left Boise with the governor
and came with him as far as
Tekoa, where they went di-
rectly to Wardner. w. +.
Borah, counsel for the state in
the riot trials, and Judge For
ney of Moscow are now at
Wardner consulting over the
application for a new trial tor
Corcoran, which is to be argued
before Judge Stuart at Boise
some time during October.
Governor Steunenberg said
last night that he was satisfied
with the condition of affairs in
the Ceul ID Alenes, and be-
lieved everything to be per.
manently quiet. He will re
tnrn Friday and will be better
informed, he said, then, on the
situation.
The governor laughed at
the idea of talking politics
"Idaho," he said, sis attending
to business this year and is
letting politics alone. 1t has
been a year of wonderful de-
velopment in the state, and an
era of great prosperity"
In speaking of the return OF
the Idaho volunteers from Ma.
Mia, he said all the boys from
that state were now at home
except six who were sick in
the hospital at San Francisco,
These would be brought home
as soon as their condition
would permit.

FOR FRUGlvOROUS FOOD.

DR.. Felix Oswald contributes to
Health Culture an article in which he
asserts that what are called canine
significance. They correspond, he says,
to the eye teeth in man-instead Of the
eye teeth in man corresponding to them,
1t will be noted-and are enormously
developed in several species of balloons
that would unhesitatingly prefer !
bunch of wild grapes to porter-house
steak. DIR. Oswald does not believe that
man is carnivorous animal, and he
terms the idea that man cannot live on
a strict vegetable diet .'the meat delu.
sion." He notes again that normal
children have an aversion to flesh food
in its undisguised state, and ridicules
the notion that meat promotes muscle
and conduces to longevity.
The conclusion is drawn from DIR. Os-
wald's Investigations that total abb
stinencc from flesh food would pro.

Horses and Earthuuakes.

1t is well-lsnown fact, says the Mas
cot, that horses can hear sounds that
are not perceptible to the human ear.
For days previous to the great earth
quake in the Riviera the horses Of
that locality showed every symptom OF
fear, which continued without change
of character, unless it was in the di-
rection of greater frenzy, till the fury
of the great convulsion broke forth.
Not until a few seconds, however, be-
lore the earth began to tremble did
human beings hear the subterranean
rumblings. One writer from the scene
says that in his opinion the horses
knew that the quake was on the way
from seventy-two to one hundred hours

IGNITION Of their government
which was promised them when
they assisted the American forces

and many millions of people in the
United States will hope that the
government at Washington will

storing peace help the natives to
establish their government and then
leave them to work out their own
salvation in their own way. Uncle
Sam has won glory enough in the
Philippines and we can well afford

to the point of generosity. We do
not want the islands annexed to

Lieutenant Hartman's Remin-
iSCenCeS.

The Press was honored by n Wis
it from our brave and noble Lieu
tenant r. H. Hartman today, and
we listened most attentively to
some Of his "reminiscences of the
war, among which was one which
we feel is fully worthy of recording
in the history of ''ours." In
speaking of the charge at Santa
Ana, he said: Chat man, Mix e
Murray, does not absolutely know
what fear is. Why, when we
were making the charge he was
one of the color guards, the Idahos
being the only regiment which had
the colors flying during the charge
and the man who was carrying the
flag was about eight feet from
Murray, when he, the standard
bearer, stumbled and Murray i'm
mediateiy devining that he had
been hit, made a jump for him
right in the face OF the enemy, and
/ verify believe that he made that
eight feet in one jump and had the
flag before it hit the ground, SO
quick and agile was his movement.
fortunately, the man had only
stumbled and recovered himself
instantly, but it was grand piece
of bravery. One thing which was
particularly noticeable" continu-
ed Lieut.. Hartman, "was when
we would be making charge we
would run about 30 yards and
then the men would be ordered 10
lie down and fire two or three vol
leys and this would be repeated
continuously. Now here was the
peculiar thing, Sergeant Jack
Wood always seemed to be insulted
when he was ordered to lie down
and it seemed to CRATE on him, for
on two or three occasions he was
almost refractory and the order
had to be repeated two or three
times, until l had ordered him to
lie down precautionary for his own
safety, he blurted out in grieved
tone of voice: Say, Lieut., why
in hell don't you lie down. He
evidently wanted to do his fight

A curious detail of Napoleon Bona
parties costume was the religious care
with which he kept hung around his
neck the little leather envelope, shaped
like heart, which contained the poison
that was to liberate him in case Of
irretrievable reverses of fortune. This
poison was prepared after n recipe that
Cabanis had given to Corvisart and
after the year 1908 the emperor never
undertook campaign without having
his little packet of poison.
