sHYLocK IN JAPANESE.
Changes in the Text of shakespeare's
 Great Play.

OTeai lay
 Two tragedies were given by the Japanese players at=the Boston theater recently, and the author of beth-Ka- wakami-played the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are cer- tainly versatile and when the amount of physical labor involved in these tra- gedies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea of The Merchant of Venice, which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected.. It might be called waari- some in places, owing to the protracted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about The main features of the play are copied, with some changes. Thus the Jewish niser becomes a Ja- panese miserIy fisherman, the pound Of flesh is three square inches, to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover of the miser's daughter, who has borrow 6Q 0tBuU Et0 HHQeE tile pleQSe OI ueS1 forfeiture; and an older daughter is the Portia who becomes the judge and saves the lover's life. The play ends happily in the repentance of Siroku. though not before the tragic element is devolved in the suicide of the young CT daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill and is called Scarlet Snow is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1858. and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is study of muscular realism on the stage. The play is =iven entirely by the men, but in "Sireku" two ladies of the com pany, Sada Yacco and Mikami, give de- Hghtful performances as the two daughters.

BETTER EYES NOWADAYS.
Despite the Fact That spectacles Are
 Far More Common.

Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common, and the way the use of glasses has increas- ed would be extremely startling if we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of group of New Orleans business men. When l was boy it was very unusual to see young person wearing specs; now we en- counter them at every turn. Cur grandfathers used to be proud of their splendid vision, and in mary cases it was retained into advanced old age, but at present pair Of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the rule l am willing to bet that you can go up and down Canal street, from one end of the retail district to the other, without finding half a dozen business men of over 45 who can get along with out artificial aid to the sight. paid a visit to a young ladies' seminary not long ago, and out of one class of g counted Is wearing glasses. That is a frightful percentage If it doesn't indl- cate that the human eye is playing out under the strain of modern conditions I would like to know what it does mean2" "I think I can reassure you,
 said physician who had joined the party while the other was speaking. The human eye is not playing out, but is merely receiving better care. The statistics on the subject do not extend back more than 20 or 40 years and are very imperfect, but they indicate that there is less defective vision now than there used to be, especially among school children I know that is con- trafy= to the general impression, but it is fact, and is attributed to better lighted school rooms and better printed books We have all read how some of our great statesmen studied their les sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such a thing, which l doubt, yoa may rest assured they paid for 1t with speetaeles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect is at once corrected while in former times it was either ignored or uanoticed, and, though there are prob- ably more spectacIes among very old people you will likewise find fewer very old people totally blind.

The Scent Cure.

Interesting experiments with the odols of herbs have from time to time been made, and it has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various smells. The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty five minutes; cinnamon will kill some species in thirty-five minutes. thyme in thirty-fye. In forty-fve minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of mlnt has destroyed various forms of microbes in fffty-fve minutes, and it is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic It is now be- lieyed that herbs which have been found in Egyptian mummies were placed on the bodies more for their antiseptic properties than as mere or naAents or objects of sentiment.

REPUBLICS ONLY IN NAME.
Latin-American Countries Are Governed
 Upon Despetie Lines.

Latin-American Countries Are Governed
 Upon Despotic Lines.
 Only in name does republication exist in the countries of South Am erica,3 says southern business man who recently returned from tour of the Latin-American countries. The I.atia republics are the worst apologies f. .s ..j.o.ies in the entire calendar of free ties. Affairs in these republics are Eecoming better of late, but it is the siMpiest thing in the world to pro- yoke revolution. We are all familiar with the changes of government that have taken place within the last de- cade, but few understand how easy 1t has been, and still is in some of these republics, to preeiPitate rebellion, turn ruler out of office, upset a gov ernment, and create general anarchy. l was in one of these republics some years ago, when a revolution, or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred, for it WAS not 8 genuine success. l was with friend, about to go to breakfast when party of about twenty men ap- peared in the street along which we were passing. About the same number of men came into sight from an op- posite direction and the fun began. Every man had a cloak over his shouf= ders. though the weather was oppres- sively warm, and when they sighted each other the cioaks were thrown aside and more brass medals, rainbow tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia of something or oth- CT l never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filed with a multitude of troops and about an equal number of revolution ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respee- tive locations, the same national flags that were flying at sunrise were still hanging at their staffs 1t was on this occasion a bloodless and futile revolu= tion5 and people went about their basi- ness on the next day with the same composure and contempt for one party or the other as they had on the day before the opera boaffe rebellion.

Women Genfuses.

Many of the most useful novelties of the day were evolved by women. Silk weaving was invented by the wife of the fourth Chinese emperor; bronze work by a Japanese woman; the weav- ing of cashmere shawls by woman of the Indian harem, and the lost secret of Venetian point lace was rediscoy- cred by an Italian woman. Harriet Hosmer invented way to make mar hle from limestone. Mrs. Strong. who began by inventing a corset, ended by taking out patents for dams and reser- voirs. A woman invented a satchel bottom paper bag and was offered s20.- COG for her patent before leaving Washington. A Texas woman invented digging machine; an English woman a horseshoe; a Florida woman rail- road ear, and an Illinois woman car heater

MODERN DENTISTRY
Artistic and Intricate Gold Filings a
 Thing Of the Past.

Thing Of the Past.
 eThe modern dentist need not be nearly as skilled workman as his father was said one of the craft yes terday, as he merrily knitted up a foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook. entirely disregarding his patients means. You see. there are no beau= tiful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays soon as a tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in fill ing. presto! it is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold A gold tooth is considered not unbeautifHl, it seems, but nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal ones for eonspieu- ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impression of the cavity is taken, the filing made, baked hard, in- serted. and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. As all shades of porcelain are to be had to match the different tints of teeth. these filings are quite inconspieuous. There are few people stHl=Who don't mind showing a gold mine when they open their mouths. and among theso are colored people, who seem to think they gain a certain amount of distine- ton from such display Among the most curious requests that 1 have had in regard to work was one from an ae- tress to extend cavity she had in g front tooth so that 1t would form J, and fill it with gold. She explained that she was going to marry a man named John, and that she thought it would be perfectly lovely to have his initial in evidence whenever she talk ed. l finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that=it might be embarrassing in later years, If she should chance to marry mar named Thomas or Richard. She eYi dently saw the good sense of my re- marks, but she relinquished her re- markable idea reluctantly Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth as imper- eeptible as possible, so, as said be fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings, and that's a fact.

Rays Find False Teeth.

Albert Brown, an aged and paralytic citizen of Paterson, \. J., was out and ill set of false teeth for two days. He swallowed them Sunday, and as he could not speak the whereabouts of the artificial grinders was a mystery. It was decided that since he could not have walked away with them and could not have thrown them away be- cause of his paraIyzed condition, he must have swallowed them. The K rays discovered the missing set Of mouth upholstery snugly reposing in the upper part of the esophagus. They were successfully removed and clamp cd to their proper position.-New York Journal

FINE COFFEE CROP.
Peculiar Way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

Coffee is exported from Puerto Rico in larger quantities than is any other native product, and while but little of it finds it's way into the American mar ket under the brand Puerto Rican, an immense quantity, according to Gen. Roy Stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java. The average Puerto Riean countryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet, nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patch, from which by occasional pickings, he secures enough of the little round berries to keep the family supplied The exporting, how ever, is done by large growers-men who have plantations which cover hun dreds of acres. mostly upon the well drained mountain sides. The plants or trees" as they are sometimes call ed, are grown at intervals of from six to eight feet, and after reaching a night Of about five feet are trimmed off that no strength may be wasted in surplus foliage. he flowers, which are pure white in color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds, or beans, and as these are gathered before fully ripened, they are dried in the sun. It is a common sight to see coffee drying on burlaps, or mats, in the city streets. The average Puerto Riean has little or no use for coffee mill He bakes his coffee until it is black. and then grinds it to a powder in a huge mortar. When ready for use it closely resembles gunpowder, the beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives since the close of the Spanish regime, have learned to prepare cup of coffee on the American plan. but these belong to very small minority of the popula- tion.-Leslie's Weekly.
