ROYAL RULERS OF JAPAN.
Present RefEnSnG House Dates Back Six Centuries Before Opening
 of Christian Era. [

His majesty, Mutsuhito, or emperor, and Edward VII, king of Great Brit ain. are the two ideal prototypes of the constitutional sovereign. Seated firm, ly as they are in the hearts of their subjects, who should be surprised at their evergrowing glory and popular ity7
 The mikado is of the long and un- broken line of 120 ancestors who sat before him on the throne, which was set up 800 years before the Christian era, says Niroku Shinpo. Just think of itl The oldest of the royal families in Europe is that of CGpet, which, however, is comparatively young, as it dates no further back than the ninth century. And 1t remains now in the Parisian society as a rare relic of bygone royal family. The Savoy, the Brunswick, the Baden, and so forth, go back only to the eleventh century But our imperial line, as already men. toned, started long before the battle of Marathon was recorded, long be- fore the songs of Homer were recited. Since then no foreign conqueror ever set foot on the soil of Japan.

''It Is in the spring" said a fish dealer in the Philadelphia Record, ''that the sardine netting begins Gem uine sardines are the young of the pil- chard. Their name comes from the fact that they are most numerous off the coast of Sardinia. They swim in shoals containing millions--ash-shape shoals ten miles long and haIf-mf1e wide. The sardines are netted and taken at once to the shore. They are washed, scraped and sprinkled with salt The salt is soon removed, the head and giils cut off and there is an- other washing Then, on beds of green brushes, the fish are dried in the sun. Next they are boiled in olive oil till cooked thoroughly.

ROMEO AND JULIET"

The positive demand for the legid- mate drama, rendered in an adequate manner, has literally forced the pro- duction of Shakespeare's most beaTTti- fu1 play. Romeo and Juliet" and the large audience that is present at Polls this afternoon in attendance on the EimveIIe production of it is a testimony to the interest that is being taken in the shakespearean revival. Tn addi- tion to splendid acting company, gorgeous and historically correct cos tunes, scenery, properties and electri- cal effects win be added. Shakespeare is very strongly in evidence this sea soh. forced into view by the public demand for better and stronger play

WOMEN TEACHERS NERVOUS.
German Psychologists Find Large Proportion Seriously ARected--
 Fear DeteraoratiOn of Race.

Two eminent, German physiologists, Dr. Rolf Wichmann and Dr. Adolf Bir- ham, have arrived at some instructive results from inquiries concerning the prevalence of bad sight and nervous disorders among women students and teachers. Forty-two per cent of the women teachers have to wear glasses, as against ten among women not so employed, and 24 among male teachers.
 Again, 40 per cent of the female teachers are affected with nervous dis erders. while among men similarly employed only lY per cent. have nery- Ous complaints Long hours and ill., ventilated roomS are held to be the leading oauses of these complaints among women, but the result of these Investigations has given considerable encouragement to the growing opinion an Germany that general deterioration of the race must follow if women's em- ployment be not carefully chosen.

FEEDING SHEEP ON WOOD.
Great Damage Worked tn Many Sec tiOns by Close GraEtnH on
 Young Pine Shoots.

With the rapid multiplication ot great aocks of sheep in the far west has come the grave question of providing the wool bearers with suff1cient prov ender. Many sheep owners,in the vest srn mountain regions where there is lit- tie or no grass to speak of have partly remedfed the difficulty by feeding their sheep on woodl
 Not cordwood, to be sure, but on the young and tender pine shoots which abound in the foothills and approaches of the mountain reserves. says the New York Herald.
 The sheep of the western mountain regions, generally of those varieties known as grade merinos and coarse fwools mixed are run in fiocks, or e'bands," of 2,0oo to 8 1000 head, in charge of herder, who is assisted by ''camp tender" packer" or "camp rustler.' 2 whose business 1t is to look up range. move camp and ''pack'' in supplies, in cluding salt for the sheep.
 In the Journey to the mountains the sheep are usually obliged to follow cer- tain natural highways, and their prog ress and the work of handling them are largely governed by the surroundings. In all cases of razing on the pine shoots the range is cut close. and this close- shaving of the only vegetable cover. to- gether with the loosenfng of the soil. is working damage in many sections, much to the alarm of residents not interested In wool growing.

HIGH ARMY OFFICIAL TALKS
Tells What Is Being Done in the Way OF
Preparation for Anything.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Regarding re-
ports that troops have been ordered to
prepare transportation to Panama a
high army official made the following
general statement: 1T is the duty of
every departmental and post comman-
der to make preparations for the move
ment of troops when there is a posi-
bility that the men under his command
may be needed for field service. Such
contingency exists particularly at
this time, when there is a possibility
that the administration may determine
to dispatch a force to the isthmus of
Panama.
From this standpoint / have no
doubt that department and other COM
manders are preparing their men for
whatever service in the direction indi-
Gated they may be called on to per-

on the isthmus If the United States
undertakes the work Of the constrnc-
ton of the canal, or for the purpose
of assisting in preventing the preda-
tory operations of guerilla bands which
may result from the trouble between
Panama and Colombia.
The general staff Of the army has
given some consideration to the oues-
ton of the probable necessity of dis
patching troops to the isthmus. This
has been stated heretofore. The fu-
ture action of the war department will
depend entirely on circumstances as
they develop. Il troops are sent they

who have been employees of The Herald

The Stereotypers organization then

The Herald refused to discharge its
