They would no more think of eating the flesh of a COW or OK, without which their farming would be impossible, than our people would eat pet animal. Meat eaters cannot say that Japan is a tropical country where the people do not need meat, as the climate is quite severe at some seasons. The Japanese, of course, eat some meat, but in 1899 47,OOO head of cattle supplied 6,OOO,OOO people. The peasant class, numbering 45,OOO,O 900, con- stunned practically none.

GnoD MEN TO TOTE FOR.

The Republican senatorial conven- tion and the Republican representative convention held at the Young Mems Republican Club hall last evening picked out some good men for New Ha- veners to vote for to represent them in the next legislature. Colonel Rollin s. Woodruff, the nominee for senator, and Minotte E. Chatfeld and Frank P. Pfeghar Sr., the nominees for repre- sentatives, are all men of excellent quality, and such men as anybody can cheerfully vote for. They deserve strong support in the campaign and at the polls. New Haven will be well rep resented at Hartford if they are elected.

FALLING BACK.

One of the reasons why we helped little Cuby'' was because she was a constant menace to us on account of the yellow fever habit she had acquired and cultivated. That she might not fall back into that habit ''the Platt amendment" provided That the gov- ernment of Cuba vii! execute. and, as far as necessary, extend, the plans al- ready devised, or other plans to be mutually agreed upon, for the sanita- tion of the cities of the island, to the end that 8 recurrence of epidemic and infectious diseases may be prevented, thereby assuring protection to the peo- pie and commerce of Cuba, as we'll as to the commerce Of the southern ports of the United States and the people re- siding therein" But reports which have reached Havana from Santiago de Cuba, Trinidad, Cienfuegos and other cities on the southern and eastern sides of the island go to show that these cities are beginning to fall back into the old slov- enly ways, making the scourge of vel low fever, which the United States doc- tors fought so hard before they could succeed in stamping it out, prospec- tive visitor again.
 If "little Cuby' turns out to be both ungrateful and feverish she will have to be helped again.

Those who can't afford to buy meat may find encouragement in what M. zumato, editor of the Japanese Times, says about the use of meat in Iaoan. He says that barley is the staple food of fully 60 per cent. of the Jaoanese farmers, that vegetables are the na- tional diet, and that fish comes next. The Japanese are not like the Chinese, 6 nation of rice eaters They regard barley as far more nutritious than rice. and the country people are sturdy, long-lived class, among whom persons 90 years of age are frequently found,

 The bishop says he met grown boys and girls unable to read or write, with parents equally as illiterate. Whole families did not say their prayers, and did not seem to know about their Sa- viour," said the bishop. He also met many persons who did not know their ages, and in this connection he discov- cred new use for cemeteries. Asking the age of lad he met, the boy re- sponded: Sixteen, seventeen or eigh- teen years"

 NO, but cen find out by going to the cemetery any time" responded the youth.
 Flows that" asked the surprised clergyman.
 Well, two children died the day I was born, and when I want to know my age all I have to do is to go to the cemetery and see when they died.
 Bishop Coleman found his trip mex pensive. In several instances the only charge for meals was fifteen cents, and in a lodging house In good-sized town he had lodging two nights and five meals and the total cost was $1,30In one hotel where the bishop stopped, he was about to take his satchel out to be repaired when the proprietor followed him suspiciously down stairs and sud denly exclaimed, You'll pay me- thinking the bishop intended to decamp without paying for his lodging.-Wil- mington, Dtl.

NEHsPAPEh NOToRrET Y.

Everybody who has to do with the making of newspapers knows about the sensitive people who "despise newspa- per notoriety," and take pains to let it be known that they do. Marie Corelli, the distinguished novelist, is one of those sensitive souls. She has suffered severely from such notoriety, and it is therefore interesting to read that, in re- sponse to Miss Corellrs complaint that her name was omitted from published list of those present at a recent royal function in Scotland, the editor of the British publication which had been guilty of the omission replied that it was intentional, and that it was in def erence to Miss Corelli's contempt for the newspapers and for those who seek newspaper notoriety, as expressed in her lucubrations on the subject.
 Sister Corellrs sad case reminds us of the sad case of 9 New Haven woman who was giving function" or some- thing or other, and was much mortified by the appearance on the scene of an "unbidden" reporter. She convinced the reporter in no very gentle way that she despised newspaper notoriety, and he, properly abashed, crept back to the office of his paper, there to find that the woman had sent in carefully prepared account of her fandango, with her own "notoriety'' generously provided for.

THE OFFER FROM THE OPERATORS

I'll F OFFER FROM III E OPERA1OHS
 The coal operators have finally made a definite move in the direction of peace. They have proposed the ap- pointment of commission by the Pres ident, to which shall be referred all questions at issue between the compa- nies and their own employees, whether union or not, and they agree to accept the decision of the commission. They specify how the commission is to be made up, and they want the miners to go to work as soon as the commission is constituted and cease all interference with non-union men.
 So far so good. Perhaps the opera tors would have done better to leave the President entirely unrestricted in selecting a commission, but it cannot be fairly said that the commission pro- posed by them wouldn't be an entirely suitable one. It would be. As MT. Mitchell has already proposed the ap- pointment of commission by the President it is to be hoped that he and his assistants will accept the offer of the operators, even if in it the union is not recognized" in just the way un- compromising union men would like to have it.

A Buffalo jeweler whose stock had been nightly depleted for over a week, supposedly by the depredations of a thief, at last succeeded in detecting the culprit. A passerby noticed large rat running back and forth in the window of the jewelry store, and notified the proprietor. The latter investigated, and found that the rodent was busily engaged in carrying watch chains, rings and other trinkets down a hole in the flooring of the window. Removing one of the boards, the jewe1er found about twenty-five articles stored away in a dark corner. Detectives had been en- gagged for several days in looking for clew to the thief. but the victim of the robbery now thinks that the vigilance of an active cat would have been more to the purpose.

WIGHT LOSES 5000
CHICKENS BY FIRE

MARIETTA Ga. Jan. 10.-The fire
which was discoN cred on the roof of the
building known as the brooder at Bel
mont Farm" situated FIVE miles from
here. on last Monday night. was far more
serious than was at first thought by rec
son Of tho fact that not only did Mr.. Ed
L. Wight. the proprietor. sustain "A FisS
OF several thousand dollars I'm property,
but the entire number Of this season :
market chickens were also total loss.
The immense brooder which had Just
recently been completed AT an expense %
5000 was q total loss. also including the
heating apparatus. costing Sl.So0. togeth-
er with three thousand market chickens
from one 10 three months old. The fire
was discovered on the roof OF the main
building about IL o'clock last Monday
night. and within a short time the ertire
building. together with the two connect
ing wings. was a total loss.
Al the time Of the fire there were three
thousand market chickens i'm the brooder
and wings OF the building. and al Of them
except ninety were consumed i'm the
flames.
BY the heroic work OF the help on tho
farm and the aid Of the neighbors. under
the direction Of Mfr. Wight. the seventeen
large incubators. valued at $500, were
saved. as we're the other buildings. al
though Mr. Wights summer home was
damaged TO some extent by the heat from
the flames.
