No Bogus Italian Counts.

Of itself, but It's indispensable ac-

WINTER TENTS.
They May Be Made Comfortable Even
In Coolest Weather.


They May BE Made Comfortable Even
In Coolest Weather.
The whole winter can be pleasantly
spent in tent by inclosing the tent in
other larger tents with air spaces be-
tween, which may be heated with an
oil stove in extreme cold weather, says
a writer on ''Tenting" in the December
Outing. All tents should be rolled up
ON all sides on spring rollers. Tents
for ladies should be double, with air
spaces, and should communicate by
covered ways with the dining tent, bath
tent and drawing room tent. Place a
barre! ON stump near the bath tent
and connect with hose. It will be the
ambition Of the men to keep the barrel
full. The drawing room tent should
have a sod chimney built in at one end,
with a large fireplace. 1t should be
furnished as prettily as ladies can de-
wise and should be we'll stocked with
musical instruments, books and card
tables. 1t should be large enough when
cleared for a ballroom. Nothing could
be jollier on cold, rainy evening than
party before the open fire.
A complete outfit of this kind Of vari-
colored duck is less costly than the
summer cottage and far more con-
venient and comfortable. / venture to
say that ladies who scott at camping
will be converted in such surroundings.

English In Japan.

Rev. r. L. Pruett, for seven years a
missionary at Osaki, Japan, who has
Just returned to the United States, says
there is a great demand for American
teachers in Japan. 1.-THE English lap
guage is being taught extensively" he
said to a reporter Of the Philadelphia
Record, "and considerable favoritism
is shown the American teachers. SaIa-
ries ranging from SIS TO $13o month
are offered them, and houses are pro-
vided in addition. The government is
expanding large sums of money for the
development of educational institu-
tons, and at present there are num-
her of American teachers In the big
schools"

UNIQUE NAVAL TEST.
Mimic Attack to Be Made on
European Port.
wILLBLoOKADE LISBON, PORTUGAL
United States Navy to Give All the
Powers, and Especially the Kaiser,
Proof of It's Emciency-Rear Ad-
miral Barker to Command the
Squadron.

The plans for sending the powerful
battleship squadron into European wa
tiers next May contemplate more i'm
pressive object lesson on the growing
than has been supposed, says Wash
ington special to the New York World.
Behind the shield of a practice cruise
with the most friendly intentions it is
proposed to demonstrate the ability of
this government to carry a war to the
doors of any country in Europe. To
prove this the port of Lisbon, Portugal,
is to be "blockaded' at the end of the
long trip across the ocean.
Portugal was selected for this unique
test because the improbability of the
United States ever becoming involved
nized. Representations will be made
that will prevent any Portuguese suspi'
cion of an Interior motive. Rear adj
miral Barker, who will command the
feet, will entertain the nobility and ma
val officers Of Portugal il lavish style
coined on ell of the ships. -
The fleet will be grouped off Lisbon
long enough to prove that United States
warships can cross the ocean and take
sufficient coal along to assume offensive
operations on an extensive scale. Eu-
rope has considered this impossible.
The fleet will consist of the Kearsarge,
Admiral Bankers flagship; the Illinois,
the Indiana, the Maine, the Iowa, the
Massachusetts, possibly the second
class battleship Texas, the cruisers San
Francisco and Albany and Golfers and
supply ships. In the lee OF the Azores
the fighting ships will be coaled and
provisioned so they will reach Portu
gal in readiness for action. The fleet
will proceed as though war were actu'
ally on. The cruisers will scout in adj.
vance, and the supply ships will be pro-
tected by the battleships.
While the operations are intended as
an object lesson to all of Europe, 1t is
known that the navy department is
especially anxious to let the kaiser see
Just what our ships can do. When
Prince Henry was in Washington last
year. he asked Chief Constructor
Bowles as to the relative efficiency OF
German and American warships.
1--WE build our ships to carry coal as
well as to fight" replied Bowles. "They
can cross the ocean, and some Of them
can return without recoaling. Your
ships cannot do that"

KAISER AS A HUNTER.
German Emperor Happiest When
Following the Chase.

GERMAN emperor Happ1est WnSr
Following the Chase.
Emperor Williams joking to Ambas
sador White about President Roose-
velt's bad luck in hunting bear, while
he himself was having rare good luck
slaughtering game in England, calls at
tention to a passion which is remarka-
BILE when one considers that the emper-
or can use but one arm in shooting,
says the Berlin correspondent of the
New York World.
The emperor is one of the most ardent
huntsmen in Europe. He is happiest
when living in one of his six hunting
lodges, where he never appears in uni
form. He wears a gray green hunting
suit and a soft felt hat Of the same
+, color, with a channels beard stuck into
the band. He has just completed thir
ty years as huntsman and sportsman
and celebrated the event by sending to
every gamekeeper on his numerous
estates some token of his regard in
presents ranging from gold watches
and jeweled scarf pins to the right to
shoot hare at Christmas.
1t is pleasure to see his majesty on
hunting expedition. 1t is mistake
to suppose that lie is spared all the
fatigues of hunting or that he wishes
to be spared them. He takes his stand
among the huntsmen and rejects all
privileges and all advantages offered
him. At a recent wild boar drive he
shot thirty-six out Of forty which
rushed past his stand, a total which
was not reached by any other of the
huntsmen. This touches a sore point,
for unerring shots on other occasions
become shocking bad shots when the
emperor is present. 1t is court etiquette
not to make bag approaching in bulk
that which the emperor makes.
For big game the emperor uses a six
Or an eight millimeter rifle. 1t seldom
happens that wounded game escapes
him. What he shoots either falls inn
mediately OR falls at distance of from
thirty to fifty yards. At his side he
wears a dagger and on his hip a re-
volver i'm a red leather case. Behind
his majesty in constant attendance is
Baron Won HeintZe, the court hunts
man, and behind the baron two rifle
carriers, whose duty it is to load and
hand the weapons to the emperor.

One of the men was entirely bald,
and the other had thick head OF
hair. The bald man seized the 9TH

him about.
sStop him!" cried bystander.
"Why should you stop him"
asked another. 'SHe's only practic-

s'The Golden Rule? What do you

The LARGEST Pear Tree.

What is said to be the largest and
oldest pear tree in America is in
Michigan, near Lake Erie. 1t is
supposed to have been planted by
the French when they first settled
in that section. Five feet above
the ground this tree measures thir-
teen feet in circumference and is
sixty-fve feet high. 1t is said also
to be prolific bearer that rarely
fails of full crop. No special eff
fort has been made to prolong the
life of the tree, but it has grown
naturally as the forest trees Of SIM
