ernor general. These he published In
the Toxic journals at advertising rates,
with free offers of healing for two
days. Reporters swarmed about our
hosiery and the lawn was covered
with the lame, the halt and the blind.
Danjuro's big theater was taken for
two evenings of demonstration, and
was crowded. No prospect opened
fairer.
But in the distribution Of patronage
one insignificant newspaper was re-
fused. The editor promptly raised a
cabal. This Is easy in japan where
the shock headed soshii-students out
of job--can be hired as partisans of
any cause. The battery was set up, the
glittering electrical experiments be-
guiIed the multitude. The lame said
after gripping with the professor that
they could walk The blind professed
to see.
All was going swimmingly when a
Japanese doctor got up and desired to
ask the professor some questions. What
they were heaven only knows, for
clamor shook the house, and the even
ing ended almost in riot. The next
evening the theater was damned, and
the results even more disastrous. All
the newspapers had turned against the
newcomer, regardless of the thousands
of yen he had distributed among them.
The rich private practice he had en-
gagged for faded from view, and after a
week he crept out of Toxic piecemeal

turned and practice so successfully
and So cheaply that they are patron

facility Of hand that belongs to the
Japanese seems to fit them for this
profession. / had the benefit of the
services of one of these young men,
who piled his weapons nimbly and
charged only yen-$4 in gold-for
work that would have cost three times
that amount at home. 1t was a deli
cate piece of work, and after six years
is intact.
To the readiness of Japan to accept,
in the first place, everything offered
by Western civilization, has succeed
ed skepticism and hesitation that
now halts at everything until it has
been tested by the subtleties of the
Japanese intellect. For example, Ja-
pan is a hopeless place for doctors
with devices for healing not recog-
nized by the great medical centers
where the Japanese have taken their
degrees.
A travelling electrical physician
came to Toxic. He called himself an
American, but In what part of this
country is grown that long, jetty, oil
ed and curled hair and swarthy mus
tache do not know. He brought with
him columns of testimonials from
Edinburgh and his victories over the
faculty from Sydney and ovations in

Rainy seasons and the brooding moist
heat of the East play havoc with it's
tunefulness. 1t must be cared for as is
child with tendency to colds. Hence,
the important part that the piano tun-
er plays in this curious and interesting
foreign life of the East, where music is
both consider and friend.
Both the dentist and the piano tuner
are apt to be Americans. The dentist
certainly is; while the piano tuner more
than likely has a strain of German
blood.
In point of income, not that of the
Governor General of Hong Kong, or
that of any of the ministers plenipo-
tertiary, compares with the income Of

panied by his mate. But that lady

There is no woman in the East WHO

more exquisite toilettes.
Lying on a long chair in the Public
Gardens at Shanghai. while the band
was playing under the electric lights
above the tum-tum of the devil boats''
on the river, and all Shanghai, in din
ner costume, was parading among the
reen-bordered walks, the writer saw
two women conversing with a couple of
men Respondent in their snowy white
duck. Paris was spelled all over the
filny white gowns of the women, and
diamonds seemed to take the place not
only of ornament, but of every neces-
sary pin. 1t was something to see. Such
exquisite creatures, it seemed, could
only belong to the encourage of some
great diplomat or conceSsionaire

was asked.
Those? Don't you know them?
Who else could they be but the wife
Of the American dentist and her sis
ter?' was the reply.
Shortly after the occupation of Ma
Mia a new recruit made his appear
ance, and not before he was needed.
There was toothache in the ranks, and
exposed nerves at headquarters. There
were English bankers. the heads OF
Scotch and German houses, and their
subalterns with missing filings, for
since the advent of Admiral Dewey in
May the travelling dentist of the East
had not been able to reach his Manila
clients. The new dentist was oppor-
tune. He was also socially welcomed.
A grateful young athlete had intro
duced him at the club-that assem-
blage of foreigners whose indorse-
ment is necessary to social life.
He had his own accomplishments.
He was an expert poker player, and
initiated the young tellers and clerks
of the big commercial houses into
the American game by night, while
he attended to their teeth by day.
His young, blond-headed mentor not
only played poker to the dentists
great advantage, but had some refrac-
tory teeth. In return for the latter
attention the dentist sent him a bill
for $500. The youth, whose stipend
was not over $500 year, and al
ready depleted by his poker losses,
paid the bill, but pinned 1t receipted on
the club wall. This is easily done. for
Manila houses are covered with fres-
coed cotton, instead of plaster. Thus
it was inspected by the club at it
leisure.
In consequence there were no more
games of poker in which the dentist
held a hand. Cold shoulders and curt
greetings were his portion. Manila
was no longer either profitable or
pleasant.
He was a passenger on the ship
from Manila to Singapore. Other pas
sengers were representatives of the
big banking and produce firms, gay
young fellows on furlough who played
deck golf and poker to the tune of
champagne corks by day. danced figs
and the Highland Fling. and roared
John PEEL to the tinkle OF the deck
piano all evening. It was an interest
ing exposition of masculine methods
to observe how effectually the Offend
ing member of society, the dentist,
was kept out of IT, The slightest par
ticipation on his part, even In the con-
versation, caused an immediate change
of subject.
But there is one country that the
travelling dentist does not visit. This
is Japan. In fitting herself out for her
new civilization. Japan remembered
the teeth OF her people. and a number

That is precisely what Cipriano
Castro did, and he carried out his
promise. For parallel, one must go
back to Tamburlaine. the Scythian
shepherd, who became a world con-
queror.
The story of that dash from the
Andes to Caracas, as the writer has
heard it from Castro himself and from
the men who were with him, is thrill
ing.
With a mere handful of men-twen-
ty, thirty, perhaps sixty-he Started
a local revolution. Defeating with ease
bodies of troops outnumbering his own
by ten to one, he captured here viii
lage and there a town, until large
slice of the republic was in his hands,
and the government at Caracas began
to regard him as a serious PROPOSE
ton.
While the government frittered
away time in the Latin-American way,
