the fall of Santiago and King Alfonso's

By and by the responsibility for the
high price of anthracite coal in New

Western cities is going to come out.
When the facts are known it will be
seen that the coal carrying roads and
Baer and the others of the so-called coal
trust" have been doing their part to-
ward relieving the situation, but that
certain of the independent operators

JAPANESE PROVERBS.
Some Really Fine Sayings Worthy
of Universal Acceptance.


of Universal Acceptance.
The japanese do not expect to gather
grapes from thorns or figs of thistles,
but they phrase our thoughts somewhat
differently. They say, |aThe spawn of
fro-s will become nothing but frogs"
We have a saying. "Despise not the
day of small things" Their Famous
sEor are made Of iron scrapings" is
mach more picturesque.
The idea of our "All lay the load on
the willing horse" they express by
Those wine know the ropes do most of
the hauling While our commonplace
"OGt Of evil good may come" finds with
LA11 a fne poeticaI expression in 1.-THE
lotus springs from the mud" and in
point Of poignancy our adding insult
to injury" is vastly inferior to their
Rubbing salt on a sore"
The japanese have some really fine
sayings worthy of universal acceptance
such as Thine own heart makes the
world or The poet at home sees the
entire universe" or The throne of the
god is on the brow of a righteous man."
Their nice observance of manners is
evidenced by sayings such as Excess
of politeness becomes impoliteness, :"
their national suspiciousness in the like
Of Don't trust a pigeon to carry grain"
and the handy mans adherence of
bungler finds expression in numerous
quips such as Learning to swim in a
field" OF Scratching the foot with the
