a BANQUET IN JAPAN.
Talking and Amusements Are More
Important Than the Eating.

Dining Is not in Japan a serious busi-
ness. The japanese do not meet to eat.
but eat because they have met, and
conversation and amusements form the
principal part of banquet. Converse
ton need not be held only with your
neighbors for if a man wishes to speak
to a friend in another part of the room
he quietly slips the paper panel behind
him, passes into the vSIunda, enters
the room again and sits down on the
floor before his friend. Exchanging
cups is the chief ceremony at Japa-
nese dinner Sake, a spirit 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 fill your cup with sake.
When a gentleman would exchange
cups, which is equivalent TO drinking
your health, he sits down in front of
you and begs the honor. You empty
your cup into bowl of water, have it
filed with sake, drink, wash it again
and hand 1t to your friend. He raises it
TO his forehead, bows, has it filed and
drinks. AS this ceremony has to be
gone through great many times
drinking is often a mere pretense. Eat
ing is, however, but a 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
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 so
interesting, so unlike anything seen In
Europe, that we watch them with a
curious sense of pleasure.

LOST MONDAY"
A Popular Fete Day In Belgium
Whose Origin Is a Mystery.

A Popular Fete Day In Belgium
Whose Origin Is a Mystery.
The first Monday after Epiphany is
fete day throughout Belgium. Lost
Monday" 1t is called; exactly Why no
one seems able to explain. The origin
Of the fete is lost in the legends of the
middle ages, but the modern accepta-
ton of the day is certainly lost to no
one here. Like Mardi Gras, Lost Mon
day is day of general merrymaking.
Every cafe and restaurant in Brussels
keeps "open house," and free drinks
are on hand for all patrons of the es-
tablishment, and as a matter of fact
for many others as well who are not
regular patrons.
On Black Monday, then, as 1t is iron
ically called by some of the natives
not overenchanted with the day, the
streets of Brussels are given over to
the people, and the adventurous for
eigner, who, ignorant of the country's
customs, ventures out, is apt to find
that the Belgian populace is no respect
er of persons On this day the shopkeep-
ers, signing behind their counters, find
themselves compelled to hand over &c
their customers servants forced con-
tribution, amounting to a certain per
centage of the years purchases, while
the bakers, too, have contribution to
offer In the shape OF cakes specially
made for the occasion and offered as
gifts to their clientele.
In this manner the unique fete is per
petuate0, though the calendar does not
note in any particular manner the TINT
Monday after Epiphany.

STUFFED BLACK BEARS.
The Reason They Are Used as Signs
by the FurrieFs.

The Reason They Are Used Signs
by the Furriers.
The man who comes to New York
only once in ten years sal ne could
not understand why the bears IA Cen
trail park seemed so much more stuck
up than the rest of the animals, but
after he had travelled about town for
several days he saw through it. 1t was
because 80 per cent of the furriers in
town have chosen big black bear for
an advertising sign. Why the other an
finals in the ZOO should be so discrimi-
mated against puzzled the man not a
little. One day he asked a furrier
about it.
cit is because the bears last longer
than anything else" said the furrier.
"Of all the animals in New York
don't know of any that have a harder
time than those that stand outside fur
riers' stores winter and summer and
try to drum up trade for their employ
ers. 1t doesn't make any difference
what kind of weather comes along,
whether it blows hot or cold, those fell
lows have to stand at their post and
swelter or freeze, as the case may be.
Naturally all those changes are pretty
hard on their hide, and none but bears
can stand the strain. Some furriers
have tried the fox, the lynx and other
animals now and then at venture,
but they have mostly come back to the
bear as the most satisfactory of the lot
They cost more too. A good stuffed
bear comes as high as SIS, but If be is
treated well he will last for twenty
five years. so that brings him down to
a comparatively low price after ALL
