JAPAN'S BANK DEPOSITS.
More Cash How Than Ever
Before.

Seventy per cent. of the Japanese
expenditures in the present war with
Russia remain in Japan, and, as re-
suit, the deposits in the banks of the
island kingdom are larger than they
have ever been before" said Franl.lin
B. Morse. son of the first American
consul to Osaka, reports the Washing
ton Post.
The working of this is simple and
accounts for present conditions in
Japan The Japanese army lives on
rice and fish. The government has
given its orders for these provisions to
the farmers and fishermen of Japan
who; when they receive the money de-
posit it in banks mostly, and when a
national loan is called for, are pre-
pared to loan the government the very
money that they have been paid. Add
to this the fact that all the powder
used by the Japs in the field is manu-
featured at home, and it is evident
why there is but 80 per cent. left to go
out of the country"

Here was an overwhelming calamity:
Not only were our provisions gone, but
also the guns and ammunition that
might have procured meat. But it would
not do to wait and mourn over our losses.
We had to push on and find help.
This we did, and two days later fell in

From it we bought three wagons-for
fortunately our men had carried their
money on their persons-some guns, and
provisions enough to starve along with

THE LANGUAGE OF BEGGARS
Crude Expressions in Use Among
Members of the Mendicant
Profession.

In describing their possessions and
their environment, professional beg
gars use nicknames, writes Theodore
Waters in Everybody's. Thus cent is
known as an Indian Other coins are
known as white money" A detective
is bull and policeman is bull
in harness" A thief is gun" and a
pickpocket is dip" A gold watch is
a "red kettle" Stamps are known as
''stickers" Money is ''cush." A horse
car is "rattler." When a beggar is
arrested he is said to fall" The work
house is known as the "band-house. ;"
The penitentiary is known as the "big
house" revolver is rod" A beg
gar who gives out cards on which are
printed appealing bits of rhyme is
known as throw out" One who sits
cross-legged on the walk is known as
a "f1opper."~ One who holds you up on
the sidewalk is known as strong
arm So it runs on with so many ex
pressions covering so many figures of
speech that one not familiar with their
argot might listen to their talk for
hours without catching the real mean
ing of the conversation.

WOMAN TIES WEDDING KNOT
Oficiates, for First Time So Far as
Known, at Ceremony in
England.

Londorl.-For the first time in Eng
land. so far as is known, the marriage
ceremony has been performed by a
woman This singular scene was wit
messed in a non-conformist church in
Blackburn the other day, and, what is
also remarkable, it was the minister
himself who consented to stand aside
in favor of a female deputy.
The bride and bridegroom were
standing talking to Mrs. Lewis, a we'll
known temperance advocate, waiting
for the minister, who, as he came in,
overheard the bride remark:
81 wish you could marry us, Mrs.
Lewis whereupon the minister said:
well, do so, Mrs. Lewis: why lot?"
And she did.
There is no legal objection to q
woman performing the marriage cere
mony, but it is not thought the prece.
dent thus established will be largely
followed.

WATER REDUCES WEIGHT.
This Claim Is Made by Frenchman
Who Made Experiments with
Guinea Pigs.

1t is generally believed that excessive,
, or even moderate, drinking of water IS
conducive to an increase of flesh, and
that therefore stout people should care
fully avoid natures beverage. That the
direct contrary is really the case is the
statement made by Henri De Parvllle IN
the Journal Des DebatS, Paris. M. De
Parville states his case in part as fol-
lows:
THE fact that drinking water makes
one thin instead of fat has recently
been clearly shown by M. Maurel in his
experiments with guinea pigs. This in
vestigator injected into guinea pig 70
grams of water at six a. NJ. and 20 grams
at six p. m, the experiments being con-
tinued for three days. During this time
the animal took 72 grams of bran, go
grams of carrots and 210 grams OF car
rot stalks. The total quantity of water
in the food was 130 grams, so that the
entire amount of water taken each day
was 180 grams.
During the water treatment the ami
NAL lost four grams each day. After the
interval of three days had passed the
guinea pig was given 63 grams Of bran,
263 grams of carrots and 200 grams OF
corn stalks, but no water. Notwith-
standing this fact, however, the animal
gained in weight each day. The expert
ment was pursued in an inverse sense,
the results being al increase in weight
without water of two grams each day
and decrease with water of eight
grams day. The experiment has been
performed in other ways, which have
led to the same conclusion. For example,
MN. Dehove and Flamant gave pa
tient four liters of an infusion for a
month without producing variation in
weight, while NJ. Flamant himself drank
$3.50 grams of liquid for seven days in
place of his usual quantity CT 1880
grams without producing any increase
in weight"

DUCK FARMS IN CHINA.
One of the Enterprises Conducted
with Profit Along the Ex-
tensive Canals.

There are duck farms all along the
canals in China. These are profitable
Chinese canals, as rule, considering
the population upon them and their
varied uses, are cleaner than canals in
the United States, says the Chicago
Chronicle. There are few, if any, fac
tories to conuaminate them. The Chi
neSe use of certain sewage for fertiliza-
ton also prevents contamination to a
great extent. The canal water is used
for laundry, bath and culinary pur-
poses indiscriminately. A canal in the
United States could never be what it
is in China, but the Chinese have a
number of clever devices and ideas in
connection with canals which can be
adopted in the United States with
profit.
The Grand canal system in China
has existed in almost it's present shape
since about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The Grand canal
itself, extending from Hangchau, to Pc
king, is about 1000 miles long. Much
of it is banked with stone, and all of it
is in such condition that with the ex-
