Edward VII. Musical Critic.

Many English people will be glad to
know what King Edward VII. thinks
of that musical composition "Hia-
watha," which has monopolized the at
tention of the organ grinders for
some time. The London correspond
ent of a Canadian paper recounts the
incident. 1t appears that at Goodwood
some Niger minstrels played "Bede-
lia,' and the queen applauded the per-
Torrance gently, while the king
smiled. So far, so good; we are not
much wiser as to what the king
thought. Then they played and sang
some American comic air, at which
the king said to the queen (who told
the correspondent apparently that
the Americans must be long suffer
ing people. Unhappily the niggers did
not hear this, and they continued
hopefully on, choosing "Hiawatha" to
follow the comic ditty. At once the
king turned, and, with flush of an
ger, said, Twill nobody tell those fell
lows to p?''-Mancheste Guardian.

Respect for Old AGE in Japan.


In Japan there is no such thing as
disrespect from youth to age. No
Japanese boy or girl could ever think
in light of disrespectful manner of
his or her superiors or teachers, and
this may account for the earnestness
so unusual among young children.
When a student enters masters
presence in japan he bows to the floor,
and when the lesson is finished he
bows again, with expression of the
deepest gratitude as he takes his de-
parture. The teacher, sitting in most
cases upon his feet on the floor, grave
ly returns each salutation, then lights
his little pipe at the inevitable bit of
a smokingbo and waits for his next
class. There is no hurrying of mas
ters from room to room, as in some
of the schools in our enlightened land.
Great imitators as they are, the Jap
anese are remarkable for knowing in
stinctively those foreign" customs
which would not coincide with
their national characteristics

The constant use of a pen point for four
teen years. a penknife eighteen years. an
ordinary indelible lead pencil five years and
key ring nineteen years to the ordinary
person sounds incredible. but such Is the
case with Cad Burba, a clerk in the general
customs Office here.

at New Hope for more than ten years, ID

cured second hand while in the drug bust
ness, and since he has been at work for
Uncle Sam he has continued to use It, pre-
ferring ii to any other. During that time
he has worn out two penholders, but the
point is still in the prime of condition. kept
so by the care bestowed upon 1t by its
owner.
A fellow clerk was discussing the matter
of care of pens yesterday. when MI buroa
remarked that any pen, or article OF any
kind, would last for years II given the
proper care. To prove his claim he drew
from his pocket knife which he had car
ried eighteen years. The blades gave evil
dence of numerous whettings, but not
gap or break could be seen. The knife. MI.
Burba said. had done a full share of woro
since he had owned it. and is good for many
years yet.
After exhibiting the knife Mr.. Burba
drew forth a key ring bearing the date OK
1885. 1t is a souvenir of the Louisville ex-
position, was purchased as such by Mr..
Burba during the festal occasion and has
since done constant service. Mr. Burba
has a special pocket for all these articles.

1t closely, and sees to 1t that II does not
get away; never leaves the pencil, key ring
or knife lying on his desk. but replaces
them In their respective pockets when not
in use. and by such inviolate system ana
care he always has them about him.
