The gulf between them and "soci

Among these clerks there is the
eternal striving after the unattainable

Empress Tends SIX worm..

In the imperial courtyard in Tokyo
stands sericultural house, where the
empress of Japan occupies her time
in tending silk worms. This season
she turned out two bushels and a half
of cocoons herself and Princesses
Togo and Kane Jointly three bushels.
The princess imperial assisted by her
maids of honor has been successful
in turning out cocoons to a large
amount Her fondness for sericulture
was first inspired by the empress,
though at present she is so fond of the
business that she has written a poem
on the subject.

And Brooklyn People Forgot the Heat
to Look at Him.
1t was only an overcoat, but hun
dreds of people on the bridge turned
to look at it, the other day. This was
not so much because of the season,
for that has been backward, as be-
cause of the appearance. The fact
that a man was inside of this gar
ment VS. not apparent till one came
directly in front of it, and looked be-
tween the folds of the collar, when
there appeared a red nose and clay
pipe. 1t was an overcoat of heavy
brown fur, and looked as if it might
have been worth $500 or $500 when it
was new, while the man inside looked
as if he might be worth so cents.
His soft hat was smashed and shah
by, his trousers had just been
hemmed by a tailor's apprentice with
coarse string, in stitches an inch long,
and his general appearance suggested
hardship. But he sat on the bench
on the promenade and smoked with
frank Indifference in the face of the
crowd that were turned toward him.
And there was sweat on those faces,
too. You had to feel warm just to
look at him.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Natural Curiosity,

1t is not to be wondered at that
a pearl necklace collected by a de.
ceased nobleman' sold in London for
$4,000. The thought of a deceased
nobleman wandering about collecting
jewels lends a viyacious interest to
the most ordinary transaction and
completely disposes of the theory that
our period of usefulness ceases with
death Perhaps we should dispute the
story had we not read it in a Sab
bath newspaper-that vast repository
of useful and diverting knowledge.

High School Graduate Honored.

In the list of names sent to the Senate by
the President Wednesday for confirmation
as assistant surgeons, with the rank of
hrst lieutenant in the regular army, was
that of DR.. Nelson Gapen. Dr. Gapen took
the examination in May, making the second
highest mark of the eighteen successful
candidates. He was complimented by the
members of the examining board for the ex-
cellent character of his work.
Or. Gapen is a Washington boy having
been graduated from the Eastern High
School in 1896. during which year he was
captain of prize Company of the Cadet
Corps, thereby winning the Allison Nailor
medal. The following fall he entered the
school of medicine Of Georgetown UNIVERSE
ty. after winning the High School scholar
ship by competitive examination. He was
graduated In medicine in May, 1900 having
obtained the highest average in his class
for the four years. Just before his gradual
ton he received appointment on the
house staff of Garfield Hospital by means
of another competitive examination. For
the past year he has been engaged in pri-
Vate practice in this city.
1t Is said that a commission in the Unit ed
states army has been his life ambition
and his recent success is a source of graft
hcation to his many friends.
