+. Tango, native of Kyota, Japan,
was guest at the hotel Yohe, We'd

interviewed him with regard to the
troubles that now exist and threaten
to precipitate war between Japan and
Russia. Mr.. Tango Is tea merchant,
selling the product of his own country.
He was first asked as to his impressions
of the United States. Mr.. Tango speaks
English fluently. He said:
II have been in this country since
last November and am going back in
about six weeks when the tea season
opens. America is a great country,
and our people have a warm feeling
toward the United States. We admire
your president. During the war be-
tween the United States and Spain our
sympathies were all with you. The
Japanese papers highly praised Dewey
and all your soldiers for their wonder
ful achievements.
What is your impression as to the
probability of war between Japan and
Russian
"Just yesterday, I received letter
from home and it was full of news re-
garding the threatened uprising be-
tween Russia and Japan. There has
been an undercurrent of bitter feeling
for years among our people against

Chocolate.

! In South America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France England and in the United
States the better grades sell at a much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third of the price that is charged for it
where it is produced. The cause OF
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, a.
cheaper article than the cocoa beam
constituting the large proportion of 90
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in its fin
est form in Venezuela, though various
other parts of Central and South Amer
ica grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into a meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary favor.

is noistened until it is in a semifiuid
state, after which it is run into molds

Cave DweI1ers In Dieppe.

People who only know the gayer side
of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence of the cave dweliers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino. and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellish from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being Pc
culiar complexion of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton on the part of the cave dweller to
avail himself OF the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar, but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality, though,
which savors of no age but the present.
