From the London Daily Mail.

They have mighty atom in Japan fos tne future Mikado will not be three years present emperor, his royal hghness Prince Micchi is a strong, healthy, lusty boy, whose pranks are already chronicled and narrated throughout Japan; even as arc those of the youngest princes Of the reign ing English house.
 Japan is up to date in many things, but in everything there is always a quaint blend of the Oriental with the western. The Mikado is not the least bit superstitious, and in spite of early ir- fiuence, when he was taught poetry and the arrangement of flowers, prefers ev- erything about him to be European. It is curious to learn. therefore, that or the birth of Prince Micchi court astrol- ogers were set to work to cast the baby s horoscope Indeed, it has been done every day sirce. The real fact is the people de- mand that this should be done. A horo- scope had been made for other royal princes for 20 centuries. and everyone in Japan was most anxious to know what ; was a small matter and both the Mikado and the Crown Prince gave their consent to mystic rites and elaborate incantations being performed, though they have not the smallest belief in the published re- si JtS
 Elaborate Seal Made.
 Before little Prince Micchi was six month old a most elaborate imperial seal had been made for his use" Here again the ancient customs of Japan were too powerful for the new western ideas. In the land of the chrysanthemum mans seal is his most important possession. Forgery of a seal is punished more severe Iy than robbery. Consequently baby Prince Micchi's seal became matter at once ot the greatest importance. It had to be diff ferent from that used by his father. Spec ial artists worked at it for months before a suitable emblem was made. Now 1t Is affixed to everything worn or used by the prince.

May Have Twelve Wives.

At present, however the law forbids it. Prince Micchis. wife will be, maybe has been, selected from the daughters of the five families in the land. In additon he is also entitled to choose inferior wives to the number of eleven from the best families, and the position of such wives is recognized.
 Curiously enough, custom will condemn Prince Micchi to buy his brides trous- seau.

Minor Amendments suqqested.

Several minor amendments suggested by the committee on appropriations were adopted among them the following:
 Appropriating $25,000 to enable the United States to participate in the .Liege, Belgium exposition of 1905 appropriating s20,00O for railroad map of the United States to be made by the geological sur vey; authorizing the issuance of medals for exhibitors at the St. Louis exposf- ton without cost to the United States.
 The amendment providing for the erec- tion of an office and committee room building for the use of senators was op- posed by Mir. Berry. who said that before 1t could be completed the building would cost not less than s45000 or $50,000 each for the members of the senate. He pro- nounced 1t "a piece of extravagance which surpassed any thing he ever had seen offered in the senate"
 MT. Bailey supported the amendment He said that MT. Berry's comment as to the cost of the proposed building might be applied to the capitol That building had been erected for the con gress as a whole and he considered the best none too good in the way of accom- magnifcence but he did want splendid buildings: Senators In Washington should not live in huts nor stop at wagon yards accessible portions of the capitol He said the senate annex now used for senatorial offices was a fire trap.

To Eliminate Almond Eve.

Soon after the princes birth measures were taken to eliminate the almond eye' of his race. A painless little surgical op- eration was performed. An incision was made on the outer point of the baby s , eyelids in a straight line for the barest part of an inch The lashes were then drawn into shape and held firmly by a piece of chemically prepared sticking plaster. The woung healed in less than a week. and the effect now Is that Prince Micchi does not look bit like a son of the eastern island empire.
 The embryo Micchis wedding is al- ready under most serious discussion, and three noble young ladies goo-gooing with might and main in Flowery Land nur- series have been selected as candidates for the future rulers partner in life By the time Prince Miechi wants a wife mat ters may have progressed so much that he will possibly be allowed to contract a low fn1

mu Tenno, who has been allowed to grow his hair like an English baby. Both his father and the Mkado when babies had their heads shaved daily by their nurses, It is on record that when the emperor was seven days old his mother displayed her talent as a barber by shaving her sons tiny head. Then, as the hair grew her chief delight was to experiment with various designs to discover the most be- coming. Sometimes she shaved the top and the rim and left a tonsure; some times she left only the rim, and some times a scalp lock and two other locks only.
 This went on for quite six years. All though Prince Micchi has twenty-two of the prettiest little Japanese nurses im- aginable they are not allowed to prac- tice their decorative tonsorial powers on the wee prince. Count Kawaimura, a life long friend of the crown prince, is super intendent of the royal nursery, and he regulates matters in a very stern fashion for Prince Micchi's well-being. Not even a siken cushion goes into the nursery un- less the count has first seen it and set his own hall mark of approval and the DrinceS S seal tO it

rHlRTY-FIvE is ACE LIMIT.
Eastern Road Takes Decisive Step
with Regard to Employes--Fa-
vors Young Men.

The new edict sent out by the New
Haven & Hartford railroad, which draws
hard and fast lines on the age limit for
hiring employees between the twenty
first and thirty fifth year, is but step IN
advance of what has been in practice for
a number Of years on all OF the larger
roads running in and out OF Boston.
While the limit has never been defi-
nitely established by the other roads
there has been general rule in vogue
that no green men should be hired after
they had reached ages at which they
ceased to learn quickly.
II is understood among railroad offl-
cials who have to hire the men that boy
of 18 learns more readily and more thor
oughly than a man who begins to learn
the business after he is rs.
Another thing to which the hiring on
cial pays strict attention is the size oil
the young man they wish to hire. The
assertion is made by railroad men that
a young man who weighs 150 pounds anc
IL of medium height when he is Is years
old is more fit to enter the service will
the chance of becoming eligible to pro
motion than man of 81 who has become
steadied In his ways.
From now on no green hand can SO
cure employment on any Of the New
York. New Hartford and Haven lines be
fore he is 81 or after he Is So years Q
age. This rule is patterned after on
passed by the Pennsylvania road and ap
plies to all classes of employees
