where the otAer Half Was.

A young minister in the course Of an
eloquent sermon on the poips and
yanities of the world staggered his con-
gregation by exclaiming:
"Here am l standing here preaching
TO you with only half a shirt on my
back, while you sit there covered with
gewgaws and other baubles."
The next day a parcel containing sew
eral brand new shirts was left at his
house by one of his hearers, kind
hearted old lady. Meeting the donor
few days afterward, he thanked her ex.
ceedingly, but expressed much surprise
at receiving such an unexpected gift.
"oh," said the lady, you mentioned
in your sermon on Sunday that you
had only half shirt on your back.
"Qulte true" added his reverence,
"but you seem to forget the other half
was In front."-London TitBits.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

when l had an attack OF the grip
last winter 1.-THE second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w.
Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shorts
vile, N. Y. "This is the honest truth.
at time kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this
remedy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night l would take
a dose and it seemed that in the briefest
interval the cough would pass off and /
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains. To
say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. 1 had no idea that it would or
could knock out the grip, simply because
/ had never tried it for such purpose,
but it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be less of duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

A BANQUET IN JAPAN.
TaIkInE and Auausements Are More

T@AkAhR anu AAAuNEAAGAkN ARG EI0E3
Important Than the EatinE.
Dining is not in Japan serious bust
ness. The Japanese do not meet TO eat.
but eat because they have met, and
conversation and amusements form the
principal part OF a banquet. Conyersa-
ton need not be held only with your
neighbors, for IL man wishes to speak
to friend in another part OF the room
he quietly slips the paper panel behind
him, passes Into the veranda, enters
the room again and sits down on the
floor before his friend. Exchanging
cups is the chief ceremony at a Japa-
nese dinner. Sake, asptfit made from
rice resembling dry sherry, is drunk
hot out OF tiny lacquer and gold cups
throughout dinner, and the musmes,
who sit on their heels in the open space
of the floor, patiently watch for every
opportunity to I'LL your cup with sake.
When a gentleman would exchange
cups, which Is equivalent to drinking
your health, he sta down In front of
you and begs the honor. You empty
your cup into bowl OF water, have Il
filled with sake, drink, wash 1t again
and hand It to your friend. He raises II
to his forehead, bows, has Il filed and
drinks. AS this ceremony has to be
gone through q great many times
drinking is often a mere pretense. Eat,
ing is, however, but small part of the
entertainment. We must be amused,
and to amuse is the business OF the
geishas, the licensed singing and dane.
ing girls who are attached to every tea,
house.
But the singers at Japanese dinner
only take the part OF the chorus in q
Greek play. and they sing the story
which dancing girls represent or sug-
gest by a series of gestures or pos.
lures. The dancers are splendidly
dressed, and their movements are 50
interesting. so unlike anything seen in
Europe, that we watch them with q
curious sense Of pleasure.

YEOMAN ROSE Is MARRIED.
The Man Charged With Rob-
bing Mail Welded An
~on11ir odx1
napoliS Lady

Further information learned in the
case of Rae Rose, the third class yeo-
man of the torpedo boat destroyer Nc
Donough, stationed at the Naval
Academy, which led up to his arrest
by the authorities for tampering with
the mails, is to the effect that the let
ter which Rose extracted the 81. 90 bill
from was not the only piece of mail
matter that he had opened.
1t is stated that on numerous occa-
sions he had opened letters and sealed
them again so that he could not be
detected. However, some of the men
of the ship suspected Rose and his ar
rest finally resulted in the decoy bill
which was found on his person, which
one of the men had given him in a
letter to be registered. Rose is twenty
two years old and was married on Mo-
vember 10th last to young lady OF
this city. He procured marriage
license from the clerks Office at the
Court Hose ON November 4, and on
November 15 he was married to Miss
Ida Maynard, who is twenty -one years
old. The Rev. George w. Miller
pastor of the First NJ. E. Church, per-
formed the ceremony.
