The Poets Spring.
ENGLISH USED IN JAPAN.
But It Is Somewhat M~altreated in the
Endeavor to Make a
Display.

The English language is more widely
used in Japan than any other foreign
tongue. 1t is taught throughout the
schools by Japanese instructors; only
in the faculties Of the universities are
there many foreign teachers. The
Japanese are self-reliant. and their
unwillingness to employ foreign teach
ers leads them into some errors in
their use of English. An American
traveller says that when the Japanese
pilot boat came out to meet his steamer
he saw on one side, Licensed Pilot
Boat" and on the other License,
Pilot Boat"
Our bill of health" he says. "was
not perfect and the quarantine officials
detained us for a day, and obliged us
to take a quarantine bath. In the
bathroom was posted this sign: All
clothing shall be put into bags with
number described placed in the bath
room for the purpose Many readings
have failed to clarity the mystery of
that sentence"
Another difficult passage occurred
on the same notice: "On leaving the
bathroom parties are requested to put
on the gowns provided in each bath
room and then to wait in number two
waiting-room for their own clothing.
When this is delivered the ring should
be compared and then they should pro.
coed to the dressing-room to put it on"
On landing in Japan you purchase a
guide-book. In it you meet English
like this: "The restaurant in this
ground is the first established in the
city. 1t has very fine view and its
business is prospective" "a tourist,
proceeding a lane to the northeastern
direction, will see a stone Shinto pol.
tai and a long stone steps on the left
side. On both sides of the steps, large
cherry trees are planted which give a
fine alteration in time of flowers"
One is next led to a well in which
he is Informed that "the water will
never be found parched ever at very
dry weather."
In the village of Koga there live
many culturers of flowers, plants and
other garden trees" 1t must be in the
same village that there is a fine
large pine-tree stretching it's branches
horizontally into a long way" and
that "at present the new shrine is set
to work to be rebuilt and it's ground,
to be laid out and made a fine garden"

EATING AND LIVING.

Tit busy professors are always
Explaining old notions away;
They tell us that people may fatten
On less than a quarter a day.
on says that an egg or an onion
Contains enough strength for a meal,
A cupful of rice, says another,
Will furnish us muscles of steel.
We hear that sea water will give us
The life everlasting we crave;
They tell us that things which taste
pleasant
All hurry " on to the grave.
Whatever appeals to our palates
They earnestly warn us to shun;
We are told that the pancake is deadly,
That suicide turks in the bun.
We must chew every mouthful a minute,
IL we drink at our meals we will die;
The wise men of science inform us
That bombs are less deadly tina pie;
They say We must turn from the oyster
And also eliminate fish;
Torpedoes and mines are as nothing
Compared with the dread chafing dish.
Perhaps they are right, but no matter;
Professions still wind to the graves:
Therefore let's eat, drink and be merry,
Let the appetite have what it Graves;
For, with firetraps, trolleys, grade cross
ings,
The switches misplaced, and the gay,
Glad assassins out a~utomobiling,
What show could we have anyway?

Europeans who are inclined to deny
the South African native a sense of
humor should read a story of veltman,
the chief Of the Fingoes, which DR..
Perceval Laurence has told in his re-
cent book, con Circuit in KaA1rland."
On one occasion four advocates, one
of whom was DR.. Laurence, were hard
up for transportation, and were glad
to charter n of Veltman's wagons,
with a span of six mules, to convey
them to the next circuit town.
The charge, they were told, would
be "a per mule, which they suggested
was a trife stiff.
Veltman took time to consider their
representation, but ultimately Sent a
message that his price would not be
"a per mule, but "a per advocate!

Ex-BELLHoP MoRALIzES.
Served in Women's Hotel for Three
Weeks and Feels Sorry for
His Successor.

A boy of perhaps 10, dressed in the
latest S9.6S two-piece style of suiting,
q 2atty 6S-cent pattern in shirts, and
one of those neat, nobby, plaid effects
OF 2S-cent ties, stood as near as he
dared to the entrance of Hotel Martha
Washington, the hostelry conducted
exclusively for the benefit of women,
says a New York exchange.
The white-whiskered custodian at
door shooed him off whenever he came
within a certain prescribed radius. 1t
vas the day after the Martha Wash
ington threw out its bellboys for bell
girls.
The youth leaned up against the
church railing, borrowed a cigarette,
and consented to grant an interview.
II vas viewing the scenes of my
former prosperity" he said. Il was
requested to resign yesterday to make
room for a lot of fresh pullets from the
Bowery coop.
While the Waldorf Astoria and the
Holland r ~scrapping over who'll get
my services I'm over here a%-wonderin'
how | lived through it three weeks.
I ION the dead and low down, that's
the Martha Washington record for a
bellboy. Most of 'em lasted three days
and counted up their II cents in tips
and rang down the curtain.
What d'you guess l got in tips in
three weeks? Dollar thirty-one.
Where did the one cent come in?
Say, you'd never believe it. A party
from Utica that had grips like trunks
gave me a nickel and sent me out for
four afternoon papers. Sort of bargain
sale proposition.
81 got 'em and stood lookin' like
there was something more to be trans
acted. That's the way to bring EN-.
40, yes, my change she says.
Never mind, you can keep it,
Madam says l, holding out the
copper like it smelt bad, I am a Casey,
and the race of Casey never stoops to
accept bribes.' And | gave it back.
81 was savin' my last chance up to
do something sensational and leave
my memory behind when the manage
ment beat me to it and signed their
gang of girls.
"The pullets has my sympathy.
There amt nothin' in it.
where's a chance to roll up a wad
butting into private scandals when
they amt no scandals? Where's the
chance to touch a jolly drunk for a ten
when they amt no DRINKS?
"The only whole quarter I got was
for quelling a mouse. Pretty near all
the rest of my dollar thirty-one was
got out of a lady that smoked cigar
cites on the fifth floor. She was all
right.
"The Tenderloin for Willie. There's
more good money dropped in the Ten
derloin in a night than a prayer meet
ing dreams of in a year"
A discreet summary of his remarks
was quoted to the head clerk of the
Martha Washington.
"Tips; that's the whole trouble" he
said, YEARLY. 81 don't like to knock,
but bellboys certainly lack refinement,
and we're strong on refnemen, here"

He HAD 1T FOR BREAKFAST
of Judge arker Nomination
While Eating breakfast.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 10.-News of
the nomination by the st, Louis con-
vention of Judge Alton B. Parker for
the presidency was communicated to
President Roosevelt at breakfast time
by Secretary Loeb. The information
was given the president by telephone
from the executive Offices in the village
to Sycamore Hill, but he made no COM
ment on either the nomination of Judge
Parker or any other action Of the con-
.vention. What he may have to say
concerning the democratic platform
and candidates probably will be said
in his letter Of acceptance of his own
by the republican party.
The president passed the day in his
library and about Sycamore Hill with
members Of his family. No official Wis
itors were received.

LITTLE ALE is NOW BREWED.
Lager Beer Has Been Made to Take
the Place of the Brew in
This Country.

One of the oldest ale breweries on
the west side of town, after having
been established more than half a CEN
Jury has gone out of business owing
to the competition of the lager beer
breWeries. This is in line with a gen.
eral diminution in the sale of ale
throughout the city, says the New
York Sun.
American lager beer brewers have
adapted their manufacture of beer to
comply with the demand of the popu-
lar taste that was formerly met by ale,
and there are many thousand gallons
Of strong beer or winter beer brewed
each year as a substitute for ale.
So long as the immigration from
England, Ireland and Scotland contin-
ued to be large the newcomers insisted
on ale and would not accept beer as a
substitute. But with time and follow
ing the decline of such immigration
lager beer, in some of its new forms,
has been accepted and the demand for
ale has been steadily declining, except
among the old-fashioned persons who
still frequent New York saloons, but
whose patronage gets less important
and less profitable each year.
Ale is essentially a drink for those
in moist and humid localities. The
proportion of alcohol is great and the
heating qualities of ale are undoubted.
The countries from which, for the most
part, ale drinkers come are damp, a
condition which is not duplicated in
New York.
Ale is, moreover, a winter drink. and
recent winters have by their rigor
made a greater demand on the supplies
OF whisky in saloons than on those oil
ale. The larger expenses of saloon
keepers, incident to the increase of
their liquor tax expenses, incline them
to push the sale of beverages for which
there is an all-the-year-round demand
beer and whisky are two of these
rather than a drink for which there is
call only during some months in thu
year, as is the case with ale.
