WOMEN DINING CAR WALTERS.
One of the Features of Japanese Rail-
road Service.
Springfield Republican.

RcpuDhSdh.
The Japanese railway directors were
quick to avail themselves of the business
capacity of their women, as scarcely TWO
years have gone by since dining cars were
introduced on the japanese hnes, ana the
Sanuki Railway CT Shikoku has already
arranged to have its refreshment cars
served by mattresses. A trial of the sys-
tenn is now going onr with very apparent
advantage both to the company and 10 the
travellers. The dining cars were. when
first put on, served by miscellaneous as
sortment of boys" distinguished princi-
pally for dense stupidity that had Kept
were willing and spasmodically courteous,
but, like most japanese men when brought
into contact with European clothes, table
cloths and knives and forks, really appall-
ingly untidy and quite below the standard
of the cooks. 1t was possible 10 get ex-
ceedingly good plain meals or steaks and
chops but one look at the mustard or the
bottom of the water carafe was damning.
And when a rather slipshod luncheon was
over with perhaps a pat OF butter left as
witness on your left shoulder or splash OF
beer on your sleeve. the Dill required the
combined talent OF the dining car-and half
an hour. Theoretically. that ingenious
and infallible counting contrivance, as
Professor Chamberlain calls the abacus,
settles every difficulty. but practically IL Is
not always satisfying. Besides. the boys"
have original methods OF adjusting the
travellers means TO their ends.
This talent is not shared by the newly
adopted mattresses, who Were carefully,
chosen a few months ago from about thirty
applicants. "a passable personal APPEAR
ance (there was no notice that snub nose,
or a moderate squint disqualifed). a good
education, good health, good conduct and
an absolutely respectable past were the
qualities which gained them their places
Once selected, they had host OF minor;
regulations TO abide by. and IL they agreed
they were enrolled regular officials OF;
the company. The rules are:

shelmet, without odorous grease or the pene-

Nous.
II Second-The girls are required to wear a
uniform OF a kimona and dark brown
skirt. They may rest by turns both morn
ting and afternoon and have every sixth
l.day of.
Third-Their wages are fixed at IS sen a
Sday, which is scarcely the cornerstone OF a
rapid fortune.
q Fourth-The girls on duty are TO behave
h with military discipline. This rule. no
3doubt, may be given a liberal interpreta-
Eition, as ''shouldering arms" with a sausage

ga rapid, neat fright about face with q
lssoup plate would require an acrobat.

Awaitresses are not To chatter with the pas

of the carriage when not serving.
Many Of the girls in the service are from
= respectable families. Their manners and
behavior are irreproachable, and have been
zmuch praised by the japanese OF rank and
position, who travel continually as q
circus. The railway authorities consider
the service in every way a success. The

apathy and disinclination to take trouble;
but in the case of Stratford-on-Avon re-
monstrance is offered and protest is made
on all sides. If the members of the lit
erary profession in Great Britain will but
unite in force to obtain necessary and alb
solute protection for all the priceless as
sociations and records connected with
Shakespeare and his time they will perform
a much required and noble service towards
their brethren of the future. AS very
clever and far-sighted American said the
other day TO the custodian of the birth
place:
Everybody interested in a good cause
should fight for the strict preservation of
Stratford-on-Avon. We In America can
build you I'D a city in no time with all the
modern improvements; we can give you
electric light, electric cars and telephones,
and rush and worry you through your
life at express speed. but we can't give
you an old-world town like this, full of
hooks and corners that TEEN with history,
romance and poetry; we can't give you
the beautiful, peaceful outlines of ancient
gabled houses silvered by the moonlight
and old byways that look just as If one
might meet Shakespeare himself round the
corner. All 1 can say after seeing this
place is: Take care of it; keep it as a
treasure of the world, for which the world
as it grows wiser and saner will be CRATE
full as long as 1t lasts"
And 1t is high time to take care of It:
time that the body snatchers should be ar
rested in their many acts Of sacrilege; time
that the soul killers be checked and utterly
COMPOUNDED in their wanton attempts to
steal the greatest literature in the world
from it's true author and creator. All the
proofs Of Shakspeare's genius and work
are to-day in Stratford-on-Avon, the shrine
which holds countless treasures such as
have never been properly examined. Let
literary England therefore look to 1t that
the shrine be not pilfered and desecrated
before she is aware Of the irreparable
mischief done. Far more precious than the
crown jewels to Britain is the fact that
William Shakespeare was a son OF her soil
The hour has come when she should by one
invincible pronouncement Of authority
guard his town, his home, associations
name and memory with such protection as
shall forever preserve and defend 1t from
spoliation and neutrality-suspicious. that
shall never in the course of future genera
tons so long as the British empire holds
sway be undone or gainsaid.

 Others Losses.

A few of the shippers who had freight aboard the La France on her last trip down the river, last fall, when It became nsess- sarv to throw a potion of the cargo over board to save the boat, are protesting against standing their share of the losses.
