sLElGHs ARE OUT OF DATE
The Winter Sport Has Lost Its Pop
ular5ty in Great West
ern City.

Recognizing the winter of 1904 as
one of the best seen for sleighing in
Chicago for several years, the plant
of the liveryman is that sleighing rap
| idly is becoming q lost amusement,
states the Chicago Tribune And not
only this, but with the Introduction OF
| the automobile. with the coming on Of
| the drivers strike, and last and heaviest
the blow struck by the Iroauois theater
fire, the general business Of the livery
man in Chicago just at this time could
not be worse.
| Looking for the reasons for the loss
Of interest in the sleigh, Leroy Payne
/ recalls that sleighing at the present
time is for another class altogether than
/ that which once affected it in Chicago.
The time was when every sleigh and
cutter in the barns would be out and on
the jump, hired for the most part to
young men who occupied elerkships III
counting rooms or in State street stores.
These young people do not affect sleigh
ing any more don't know what
/ amusement they have taken up in its
stead, but it is certain that the old-time
Gleighing party which used to make up
on winter nights for an evenings drive
over the avenues and boulevards has
disappeared. Notwithstanding the
snow of the present winter, we have not
had one-fourth of the sleighing that
might have been expected last fall.
AS to driving in general, the auto
mobile has hurt the business of the
liveryman, but nothing in the history Of
the livery business in Chicago has had
the effect on the business that the the
ater fire had. With the fire came sud
den, swift shutdown on the demand for
carriages and all manner of wheeled
vehicles. The effect of the drivers
strike was nothing to it. The closing OF
the city's theaters and the halls IN which
dances were held simply put an extin-
guisher upon the carriage business. The
demand from the theater party has gone
and nothing else in the carriage line has
come to take its place. To my mind. it
will be a long time after the theaters and
halls are open again before the carriage
business picks up again to its old aver
age.
With the passing Of s1eighing. too, it
may be remarked that carriage driving
as it once prospered in Chicago. is going
# the clerk at large hired sleighs in win
ter. he also hired buggies and carriages
on pleasant Sunday afternoons. and
evenings. But he doesn't do 1t any
more. Somewhere he has lost Interest
IN driving. and presumably h. cannot
afford automobIIing. But it Is hard on
the fiEeryman.

African HospitaIitv.

Hospitality may be considered as one
Of the characteristics Of not only the
Eeis, but of the whole African race. 1t
is considered the duty of every citizen to
entertain strangers without the small
est compensation. Places of rest stand
always open, and when these are found
occupied by strangers, a man goes and
tells his wife, who will send her servants
with water for the strangers to wash
their feet; for, as they wear no shoes,
they naturally need such accommoda-
ton. Afterward rooms and cloth wrap
pers are given them, food is brought
from all quarters, or they are invited to
eat with the people. They continue to
be 50 provided for. even if they stay
months. Their garments are also
washed and returned to them. On Ieay-
ing, they generally make q small gift
to the wife of the host. though not more
than two or three cola nuts or two on
three English notwithstanding.

Passing Of the Diamond.

With the announcement that in the
johannesburg mines there has been
found a perfectly white C4amond weigh
ing ! Juni and half avoirdupois the
romantic history of this precious stone
Will probably close. Precious stone, in
deed, exclaims the Chicago Chronicle,
when it has to be cut up like piece q
cheese or coGhsh before it can be used!
The diamond has reignsd supreme IN
the fmagiuGtio of men an. women for
centuries. Why? Not because OF IT'S
beauty only, for drop OF dew on
morning flower is more beautiful, but
mainly because of its rarity and its
small size. AS long as it vas generally
quite small its value increased IN geo.
metrlcal ration with its weight, SO that
q diamond twice as large as another
was worth eight times IS much, but
now all this has come to an end. The
noint ms been reached at asst where
a diamond has been fouu too large sJ
wear and the announcement is made
alas, aIasi-that it will be broken up
like a piece of chalk SO that it can be
used. Obviously this ends the princi-
pal charm of the gem. How can g man
or a woman take pride IN the size of
diamond when a diamond may De
too large and when some diamonds are
crushed like limestone for greater con-
yenienee? 1t is impossible to resist
the feeling that this Johannesburg find
has made the diamond vulgar. 1t is
said to be as large as four pound iron
weight and four times as large as the
Koh-i-noor uncut The reign of the
diamond has been long enough and
brilliant enough for any one monarch.
For thousands Of years it has been in
terwoven with the most exciting and
important events of the world. A his
tory Of the diamond would be the his
tory Of all the love, romance, intrigue,
adventure, pageantry, pride and crime
of humanity It has been in decline
for many years past on account O. the
increasing number and size Of the
gems discovered, but it has held high
place, nevertheless, until this last dis
tressing event Now that diamond
has been found that is too big the
stone will probably become more and
more questionable

Everything is carefully trimmed, sea

they have produced creditable dramas
and lyrics, which, however. show nc
characteristieally japanese forms. Il
is the tiny ode Of 81 syllabIes that sup
plies one more example of the jap
anese greatness in small things. The
structure is as simple as the extent
is short; for here prosody requires
neither rhyme, meter, accent TOR al
liberation, but only that the five lines
count tive, seven, five, seven, seven
syllables respectively However, sc
musical is japanese prose that this
crude line meter syifTices to turn il
INTO poetical form, with the advantage
that japanese emotion may burst into
song without long training in the
mysteries Of yersidcation So t is as
common for japanese to compose an
ode as it is to sketch al impression;
and the two are sometimes combined
with excellent effect Here is an ex-
ample of this tiny ode, where, how
ever, the translation has not preserved
tae form of the original.
LOVE.
Ere I, Q Maid! had worshiped thee,
"A drear, uncared-for life was mine;
y, may long years be granted me-
NOW that-nny heart. O Maid, is thine:
japanese music, as a whole, has ex-
ceiled no more than has japanese lit
erature, and can therefore claim the
less credit for its simplicity, though
the quality is there and has its pecul-
lar value. The japanese esteem mu-
sic but little and commit it's caItiva-
ton to blind men and women Conse-
quently there is no notation. milady
can never claim that she has forgotten
her music, she is also never tired or
out OF practice; and, since the samisen
"a banjo introduced from Manila in
the seventeenth century-ls found in
practically every house, music is as
common in Japan as it is simple.
When one has observed how generally
the exclusive piano-forte has dis
placed the smaller musical instru-
ments in the American home, and
how, then. in turn, this piano has
frequently become merely a prominent
piece of furniture, with the conse-
quence that our homes run short Of a
chief solace in life, he is inclined to
