great rejoicing There are two of these
general birthdays. one for each sex The
male birthday, which is known as the
celebration of the boys" occurs on the
tire day Of the third month, and the eel
fifth day of the fifth month. These DAYS
are general holidays for the young All
studies and work generally are put aside
and boys and girls respectively receive
presents according to their station
The birthday of the mikado, or Ten-o. as
he is more properly styled, is also a gen
eral holiday for the japanese everywhere
The houses are all decorated with flags
with lights of innumerable colored lam
terms In the morning the highest author
tiles go to the palace to offer their con-
gratulations in person, and the lower de-
grees offer them vicarious1y to their sll-
periors. All the japanese world, someho W
or other congratulate their monarch on
having added another year to his age
This extends even to the japanese lega-
lions abroad For instance in November
the attaches and secretaries of the Japa-
nese lega ton in Grosvenor Gardens, Lon
don. will present their congratulations to
the minister; the minister will wire his to
the foreign minister at Toxic and the for
eign minister will personally offer his at
the palace. The legation will not be illu-
minated externally. because thu month Of
November in England is not suited to such
effects, and also because the English peo-
be dinner party to celebrate the occsl-

Europe can produce in the way of dynas-

for the fact that in it Japan passed at one

EASY TO KILL.
Tiny Things Will Put Big Locomo-
tives on the Junk Pile.

The Union Pacific Railroad company
has just discovered that it is being
made the victim of union men mas
querading in the guise of strike break
ers. They secure employment as ma
chinists in the railroad shops affected
by the strike and take advantage of
the opportunities thus afforded to dis
able the company's engines.
ITO the man who knows his bust
ness said an engineer. 1T is not diff
cult to turn the trick. Notwithstanding
the fact than an engine is powerful
looking monster. there are many places
about it where the removal of a little
burr of the size of the end of vour
finger will put it out of order, and an
expert will be puzzled for hours to dis
cover the reason.
Half a bar of soap will kill a loco
motive A packet of washing COM
pound will do it just as effectively.
Either one dropped into the water tank
will be sufficient to turn the water into
suds, and you couldn't get up steam to
save your life.
Another easy bit of mischief that is
being practiced in this strike is to side
up to a locomotive when she is at the
station and place bolt on tne under
piston guide. The first revolution
brushes it against the cylinder between
it and the knuckle of the piston The
trouble is. however, that it won't crush
but tears out the whole side.
