purchased by the Togo Kisen Kaisha
/ from the p. O. Steamship Company is

HUNTING DOGS.
Good hunting dogs are being largely
sought after of late by sportmen in
the capital and in the provinces, some
of them even taking the trouble of
ordering them from abroad, thus
spending several hundred yen. Under
these circumstances it is no wonder
that we often hear Of cases of the
theft of such dogs. We understand
that the animals stolen in the city are
disposed of in the provinces, and vice
versa About a week ago Professor
Soko Nagaoka, of the College of Ag
riculture, had his favorite pointer stol-
en- and now he has offered a reward
for its recovery.
SNOWFALL AT NIKKO.
1t is reported that at Chuzenji, Mix
ko, nature is assuming a very beau
tiful aspect owing to the snowfall OF
the 10th and 18th. The snow has
drifted about one foot deep, and it
contrasts magnificently with the gor-
geous autumnal tint still in its glory.
RICH MANS SECRET.
A certain rich man who resides in
Igu Rikuzen, is one of the largest
shareholders of the Japan Railway
Company, and as such, he enjoys the
privilege of travelling free in first
class car of the company-a privilege
which he always uses. This rich man,
says our informant, often refuses him
self the extravaganza of buying
newspaper when he finds it to be of "A
small edition, and when he travels
with his wife and the other members
of the family, he never allows them
to get into the same car with himself,
but sends them into IL thirdclass car
because he has to pay their fares.
FREAK OF BENEVOLENCE.
Mrs. Tel, wife of Mr.. Teijiro Hirota,
of Takana mura, Hyogo prefecture, is
credited with strange yet highly
Commeudable eccentricity, if We may
so call it. She has often been panied
to see children going home from their
school in the village dripping wet, in
rainy weather. She lately had about
a dozen umbrellas made to her order
and the name of the school printed on
them, and unknown to anybody took
them to the school. Subsequently she
is said to have offered to donate ten
umbrellas to the school annually in
the future.
POLYGLOT NEWSPAPER.
The well known journalist, Mr..
Thomas Cowen, whose valuable assist
ance 1t was our good fortune to secure
in starting the Japan Times in 1897,
is going to issue in Picking from the
beginning of the coming year, news
paper of unique character under the
name of the China Times. THE pa

sued daily, Sundays excepted, and will
reach all nationalities represented in
Peking, as it will be printed in Chi
nese, Japanese, English, French, Ger
man, Russian and Italian" The
scheme may appear rather too ambi-
tious, but we believe it is well suited
to the unprecedented condition of life
in the Chinese capital. At all events
the experiment is worth trying, and
we heartily wish the novel venture all
success. The price of the paper will
be ten Mexican dollars per year. and
one dollar per month. The manager
will be the editors brother, Mr.. j.
Cowen formerly of the London Times.
We may state en- passant that Mr..
T. Cowen is now on a short visit to
this country to purchase type and ma
chinery for his paper, He will shortly
return to Peking by way of Shanghai
