A Japanese near to the throne was
once appointed minister to Belgium.
Upon arriving, he was puzzled to un-

a thumb to their nose. Finally he
asked his interpreter the reason for

it. This latter, in sympathy with the.
worthy Japanese's feelings, told him
it was the highest possible mark Of
respect one could give in Belgium.
Some time later, while the king was
receiving visit from the ambassa-
dor, his highness was mortified to see
the Japanese stick his thumb to his
nose and Wriggle his fingers. The poor
however, was equal to the
occasion, and before his highness

W In the old days, when American con-
suls were appointed less for fitness
than for political reasons, one who
could understand just enough French
to be misunderstood, was sent to a
French city. His wife was fond of
sweets, and he liked to please her.
On starting for a promenade one after
noon he was asked by her to please
buy ''quatre meringues" for dinner.
Entering cake shop on one Of the
boulevards, he asked the mademoi-
|selle who came to serve him: Avez-
vous quatre meringues 2" "Oui, mon
sieur.'' Then give me six, please, :
he said. Later, when he had learned
French numerals, he often told the

fresh fragrance of dawn had replaced

Upon the rug a single streak or sun

Soon, therefore, had she left her tent,

Tammany's Foxiness.

Tammany has made a sagacious move in
deciding to nominate on it's New York
city municipal ticket two Of the fusion
officeholders re-nominated by the fusion
lists. This move will tend to tempt the
democratic fusionists to vote the demo-
cratic instead Of the fusionist ticket. A,
the same time such move by Tammany
is remarkable confession Of weakness
and a palpable bid for public favor by
shifting from the tights Of the devil to the
gown of the monk. Mr.. Grout, the con
troller, who Is q democrat, has declared
that he will accept the Tammany nomina- :
ton. It is past understanding how such
q man can choose such course. It is
as Mr.. Jerome calls it, despicable treach-
cry.
The fusionists, whether Mr.. Fornes ac-
cepts the democratic nomination or not
are placed in a most embarrassing posi-
ton by Tamrnany's sharp politics. Il
they go on and support their ticket re.
gardless Of Tammany Endorsement. they
will be helping Tammany to take the first
step towards a return to power. But their
convention has adjourned, their men have
been nominated, and there is no way tt
get them off except by resignation. If they
are forced off there will result a dissen-
sion In the ranks of the fusionists which
will very likely defeat Mayor Low.
