boiled corn and rice. bean soup and
preserved vegetables. For dinner he
has fish, meat, boiled rice and corn,
and cooked vegetables. For supper
the menu of the dinner is repeated.
Consequently the Jap soldier sleeps
comfortably.
In addition to this, he has the pri-
vilege of buying bread at the -canteen.
1t is generally white bread, which he
calls pan. He hates black bread, or
kuropan, as he calls it. He can also
procure at the canteen a sort of sweet
biscuit, katapan, about as large as the
palm of the hand and as thick as the
little finger. The canteen is run by
the corDorals and under officers, who
have the same fare as the soldiers.
Rice wine and beer can be also had
at the canteen. On New Years day,
the anniversary of the foundation of
the empire, and on the birthday of
the Mikado, the troops get carefully
prepared rations, including a cake of
soft rice white cake and red cake
and katapans, in addition, of course,
to the usual fare. So it appears that
fish, meat, rice and corn form the
nourishment of the Japanese soldiers,
a nourishment far superior to that of
the ordinary Jap. In the barracks the
soldier sleeps in a wooden bed with
woollen covering.
In time of war, on the day Of mobili-
cation, the Jap trooper receives a red
led covering. In his sack, which has
many little pockets. he carries dry
crushed rice and salted prunes. He
has a bamboo tube filed with water.

THE NEW JAPAN.

Aoa Il. A Murcutt, in The Pilgrim.
When Japan closed her doors to the
outside world $50 years ago, the stig-
ma which rested on the farmer was
removed and the agricultural industry
was raised to the dignity of a profess
sion. This was done in order to in
nuce many persons to cultivate the soil
as 1T was necessary TO raise sufficient
ly large crops to sustain the life of

Very little meat is consumed owing
to the religion of the japanese and

very seldom seen in Japan, conse-

also missing. There is, moreover,

well and he repeated, What a funny

the lady had read and heard so much

she thought her guest was joking when
he made inquiry concerning the fruit.
The Japanese are, perhaps, the on
ly people in the world who sacrifice
appetite to love of beauty. Doubtless
their national religion, Shinto has
done much for them in this respect,
for it teaches worship of nature and
the japanese would much rather cul-

in the plumbing line Well, we took
a rowboat along Meiggs wharf one
afternoon, just TO kill time, when Bill
sees a lot of things like cocOsnuts
floating on the water. He sticks in his
oar and pulls in half dozen. They
were strung together just like beads,
and we cut open one of the cOcoanuts
TO see what was inside Of them, and
we dug out a little square tin with
a Chinese label on it. and when We
open it we find a lot of black stuff that
smells like opium.
They must have foated in from
some wreck, says Bill, and we goes
after the rest of the cocoanuts that
were floating around till we got all in
sight and fills up the bottom of the
boat with them. Well, we judges that
there must be $40 or $50 worth of opium
in the load. Instead of cocoanuts we
find that the tins had been wrapped
in papers full of Chinese characters, so
that they'd float in case of shipwreck.

and packs it to a vacant house on
Oregon street and puts it under the
front steps. Then we buy a couple of
packing boxes, dumps the nuts into
them and puts them under the steps
again. We take a can as sample and
go up to Chinatown, and they direct US

Dear Sir-In reply to yours of the
29th inst, will say that freely en-
dorse all you or others have said or
could ever say about Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic. Two months ago
my father, who is S5 years old, was
stricken down with Bilious Fever, and
came near dying. l began at once
with the Tonic, giving him dose
every two hours. Within a week my
father was able to walk about the
house. I persuaded him to take
second bottle, and under its use he has
grown strong. Although s5 years old
on the gath OF last June, he has to-
day taken a horseback ride OF six
niles unattended. Yours very truly,

By the time the hall was one-third
filed the heat began to increase to a
noticeable degree. The great majority
of the delegates and visitors had pro-
vided themselves with fans and the au-
ditorium, viewed from the speakers
desk, was one yellow hutter as the
palm-leaf fans bobbed back and forth.
The delegates lost only little time in
getting outside of their coats. and the
complexion of the lower part of the
hall, black at first, became lighter and
lighter as the coats disappeared and
the shirt sleeves became evident.
The first ripple of applause that
went across the convention came from
the galleries when the Texas delega-
ton marched in, bearing their flag of
red, white and blue, with The single
star. A white silk banner, bearing the
inscription Florida Democracy; Safe
and Sound" was borne into the hall
shortly after the Texans had arrived,
and was also greeted with applause.
The Philippine delegation came in with
their banner, which was not floating
free like those that had entered before
it. 1t was an American flag of silk,
wrapped closely around the staff and

BAILEY REFUSES GUARDIANSHIP
Texan Declines Honor that He Nigh
Be Free TO Sneak

Texan Declines Honor that He Might
Be Free to Speak.
The Democratic Committee on Per-
manent Organization selected Senator
Bailey of Texas, according to the pre-
man of the convention, but after be-
ing waited on twice Bailey refused to
act in order that he might have an
opportunity to speak on the floor, it
was said. A peculiar condition bobbed
up with regard to Senator Bailey.
Wednesday afternoon he agreed to ac-
cept the craftsmanship if it was ten
dered to him. When the vote was
taken in the evening session of the
committee, however. it was found
that he had only majority of one
on the committee, securing eighteen
to seventeen cast for Champ Clark,
whose name had not even been men
toned and who had thought so little
about the matter that he had retired
to his rooms for the night When
Senator Bailey saw the narrow mar
gin between the votes he declined
positively to accept the place, and
said he would be obliged to the
friends who had voted for him if they
would make the choice of Clark unani-
nous. Champ Clark of Missouri was
named as second choice, but he re-
fused the Craftsmanship on the ground
that he had promised to nominate
Senator Cockrell for the presidency.
The committee wearied of its task
after a six-hour session and decided
to put the whole business of perma-
nent organization over until Thursday
morning.
