JAP ANESE DINNERS
Meat Has a Small Part in
the Menu.
CEREMONIOUS EVENTS
THE SERVICE rs DAINTY IN THE
EXTREME.
A Number Of Recipes for the Most
Delectable Of
Dishes.
CEREMONIOUS EVENTS

Dinner with the Japanese is a function
which combines with nutriment thousand
suggestions of their religious belief and
their quaint home customs
The service In itself is a source of wonder
to every Occidental who is the recipient of
Japanese hospitality. The meal lasts for
several hours. during which hosts and
guests kneel or squat on cushions placed at
intervals on the floor. Neither forks nor
spoons are provided, but chop sticks, which
require deft handling. convey the food to
the mouth.
American service, spatualas made from wood
are used to serve the rice. the one dish that
is passed around. Though Japan is famed
for her cooking, lacquer bowls of innumer-
able styles and sizes are used instead OF
dishes. Guests are always provided with
chop sticks of white wood so made that
the handle can be pulled apart. which
proves that the sticks have never been
used. AT the conclusion of the meal they
are all destroyed, a proof of japanese
cleanliness. For state dinners chop sticks
of ivory are used.
Meat plays small part in the japanese
menu. pork and chicken being common and
beef being used but rarely. Fish and rice
are the staples. the former being served
with every dish at simple home dinners and
passed as the last course of formal
dinner.
A Ceremcnious Spread.

FACTS ABOUT PANAMA.
Historical Data Concerning the Canal
That Will Cut the Isthmua

From the Boston Transcript
The following was compiled for bust
ness house which wished to give It's Gus
toners some information on this subject:
The republic of Panama was a part of
Colombia until November 3, 1903, when 1t
declared its independence. 1t has an area
OF 31.571 English square miles, nearly as
large as Maine. and population of 300, 900.
Its chief ports are the capital, Panama
population about 5000. and Colon, popuia-
ton about 1900. These ports are visited
annually by more than ZOO vessels, which
land over 100000 tons of merchandise and
nearly 100000 passengers chiefly for trans
fer over the isthmus. The commerce of
Panama amounts to about $4,000, 900 per
annum.
Panama has been called the "Gate to the
Pacific" and the Key to the Universe, -
and waterway across the isthmus has
been the dream Of centuries
In 1879 French company, with Ferdi-
nand De Lesseps as president was organ
lied to construct canal, and hogan work
in 1881. After 1t had spent $156. 600 900 on
the isthmus it went bankrupt. A new
company formed in 1894 and continued the
work on small scale. The work done
constitutes two-fifths OF the canal works.
Ii lSUZ the United states decided to carry
out the project. In February, 1903 the
rights of the New Panama. Canal Company
were secured. and November 10. 1908, q
canal treaty between the United States and
Panama was signed at, Washington. It has
been agreed that the United States shall
obtain zone of FIVE miles on each side of
the canal; Panama will receive $40, 900 900
and an annuity OF $250.OOO. beginning 1912.
The canal to be built by the United States
Is high level canal, about eighty-five feet
above tidewater. The number Of locks will
be five. The Atlantic, terminus Is at Colon
and the Pacific terminus Panama bay. The
course of the canal Is from northwest to
southeast. the PaciSG end being twenty
eight miles east ofIthe Atlantic. Panama
Is In about the same Longitude as Pittsburg
The total length from shore line to shore
line is forty-three miles THE time of tram
sit will be ten and odezhalf to twelve and
one-half hours for IA ship of mean dimen-
sions. The cost to compaete the canal from
its present conditions; b estimated to be
$144 ,O00,0 600, besides theN$ ,000. 600 to- be
paid to the French company. The time re-
quired will be aboutneight years. The cost
to MAINTAIN the canal will be $2OO0.O00 per
year. The Panama canal will shorten the
ocean distance betweent our eastern and
western states about $500 nautical miles,
and to western parts 1of south America
about 1000 miles. VI i Ds
1t is estimated that the tonnage Of the
canal traffic will be 100000 tons per an

covering all. There should be ready cold
stock, to which add raw eggs In the pro-
portion of two eggs to each three cupfuls
of stock. Beat lightly. pour into the bowls
and steam for fifteen minutes when the
dish will take the consistency of a thick
custard. The bamboo sprouts are usually
purchased canned and ready for use. When
mushrooms alone are used, they must be
cooked before adding to the chicken but
the canned ones are ready for use.
Lobster Soup.-The foundation of nearly
all Japanese soups is the dry bonito fish
known as katsuobushi. which is hung in
the air and exposed until every particle of
moisture has evaporated and Ii becomes
almost as hard as stone 1t is considered
extremely nutritious. and Is sold in sticks
by dealers Of Japanese supplies. To make
the stock, one-half pound of the katsuo-
bushi Is scraped very fine with a sharp
knife or chisel and added to two quarts
of water, after which 1t is boiled slowly
for an hour. when 1t Is seasoned with salt,
pepper and soy and strained
The lobster is killed by cutting the Joints
where the tail and body come together
when the meat is removed from the shell
and made into little balls. To do this wash
it fine and press through a sieve To one
lobster of medium size add the white of
one egg and a little salt. Make into small
balls, drop them into the stock and let boil
for few minutes. In Japan soup Is serv-
ed in dainty lacquer bowls. In each of
which have been arranged a few slices of
mushrooms or young bamboo sprouts and
a few leaves of spinach previously boiled
The soup Is dipped directly from the bowl.
Boiled Lily Bulbs.-Lily bulbs are a ia
vorite vegetable with the Japanese. and
are simply prepared by boiling in mirin or
sweet sake, the native wine distilled from
rice. The bulbs are placed in a saucepan
with the root side up. nearly covered with
the wine and boiled until tender, for about
twenty minutes.
Chrysanthemum Salad.-F1ower salads
are held as great delicacies with the Japa-
nese, and the chrysanthemum is a favorite.
To prepare 1t the petals are separated, boil
ed for just a few minutes, drained, dried
and cooled, and served with a dressing
made Of vinegar, sugar and chopped red
Chile peppers. OIL is not used in Japan.
Plain Boiled Rice.-Every relocating
community has its own methods Of boiling
rice. The Japanese wash the rice thor
oughly In several waters, then carefully
drain, and to each cupful allow one of cold
water 1t is then placed In a saucepan.

Raw Notwithstanding its startling
title, this is held to be an exceedingly deli
cate dish, and no more Objectionable than
raw oysters. Various sorts of fish are used
for the purpose. Sheepshead is preferred
by the Japanese living in this country. but
the favorite fish at home are the tai and
the katsuwo, the former being chosen for
festive occasions on account of its name.

CONFIRMED AT DOUGLAS.
Capture Of Eiland in Mexico
Gang Of Bandits.

Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 25.-A letter
has been received at Douglas by ex-
Lieutenant Of Rangers Dave Allison,
from some unknown parties at Opu-
to, Sonora. in which it is stated that
a banker named Eiland, from Por-
tales, N. M, was captured by a band
of bandits near there a short time
previous and was being held a priso-
ner for ransom.
If the contents of the letter are
true, which is doubtful, the theory
of those acquainted with previous
circumstances is to the effect that Eli
land is being held by a man named
Longacre, an escaped prisoner from
New Mexico, whom Eiland befriended
to the extent of going on his bond
for the sum of $4,000.
It is reported in Douglas that Long
acre was here recently and got wind
of the fact that New Mexico officers
were in pursuit and left Douglas for
Oputo, in Sonora. A short time af-
ter his departure Eiland arrived on
the scene and gave it out that he was
going to Sonora on mining and cattle
business for several weeks. 1t is
thought in Douglas that Eiland went
into Sonora in pursuit of Longacre
and that, if the contents of the letter
are true, he has fallen into the hands
of the man he was pursuing. There
is no doubt of the fact that such a
letter was received and as to it's con
tents. The matter has been reported
are investigating the report.
