MANY VEHICLES
ARE LEFT TO BLOCKADE THE
PUBLIC STREETS.
20 Found In One Block This Morning
Hoard of Works Wants Nuis-
ancc Abolished.

This morning a reporter by re-
quest of a member of the board of
public works, walked up jefferson
street from First, and counted 20 We
hicles in one block. backed up against
the sidewalks and left there for the
morning, with shafts sticking out
several feet. There were sixteen of
the wagons on one side and nine on
the other. all in one block, Many
other vehicles, none of them with
horses or mules attached, could be
seen down the line of perspective
further out the street.
The removal of these vehicles from
the public street Is what the board of
works has asked the mayor to have
done, and which he has done, to the
extent indicated above In some
places over half of the street Is OBJ
structed by these wagons and bug
giles, endangering the fire department
should Il have to pass that way, as
well as inconveniencing the general
public. Most of the vehicles left on
jefferson street are from the market
house, and are left In the street by
their owners 10 save the expense of
putting them In the wagon yard UNI
al the gardeners and others are ready
to go home. Formerly these wagons
were kept on each side of the market
house To block the streets there, but
they can't be kept there now because
the street is torn up. Tho board of
works states that when the street is
paved all wagons must be removed
from around the market house after
being unloaded by their owners,
which will do away with one of the
biggest nulsanoes that ever inconye-
nienced the people here.

FISHING WITH coRMoRANTs.
A Curious and Ancient Industry in
 Japan.

A Curious and Ancient Industry in Japan. . The origin of cormorant fishing in
 Japan is lost in very remote anti
 quity. At least thousand years ago it is known to have f1ourished, and there is a tradition of it's existence up-
 ward of two thousand years ago, Much romance and history are connected with
 the fishery in the early days, and the
 names of some of Japan's
 greatest warriors and statesmen are
 associated with it. While com
 mercial enterprise, it does not, however
 give employment to many people and
 is not conducted in many places. It is
 confined to rivers, and the most ex- | tensive interesting and famous fishery | is that in the Niagara River. and the most noted of the cormorant fishing I villages is in the outskirts of the large city of Gilu. x '$ 1 At the time of my visit the chief cormorant fisherman, whose ancestors
 for many generations had engaged in this fishery in the same locality at tired himself in the peculiar dress of
 the profession for the purpose of ex- hibiting his birds and the methods of
 handling them:r Later he and all the
 other fisherman on the river went to
 rendezvous and gave q practical de-
 monstration of acorporant fishing.
 The cormorants are controlled by
 means of a slender cord, which passes
 around the birds breast and is tied in
 the middle of the back. The cord is
 made of woody flores of the cryptomeria tree, with the exception of a. short sec- ton nextto the bird, which consists of
 whalebone. There is a supplemental | cord tied around the neck at the lower end of the gullet for the puripose of
 preventing the fish from passing so far | that they cannot be recovered. The tying of this cord is delicate opera tion. for it too tight it may injure the
 bird. and if too lose it will allow the
 The fishing is conducted from boats,
 which are of special type, being long,
 narrow dugouts, propelled primarily by paddles. but when en route to the fishing grounds often provided with a sail. Each boat has a crew of four men and a complement of sixteen cor mot ants. Late Tn the aIternOOn the

TRUE WAY TO MAKE TEA.
Science Which Includes Many Mys-

A Science Which Includes Many Mys-
teries In the Brew.
Luwuh, q poet, saw in the tea serv-
ice the same harmony and order which
reigned through all things. In his eel
ebrated work, the "Cha king" C'"The
Holy Scripture of Tea'D, he formulated
the code of tea. He has since been
worshiped as the tutelary god of the
Chinese tea merchants.
In the fifth chapter Lr>Euh describes
the method Of making tea. He dwells
on the much discussed question of the
choice of water and the degree Of boil
ing it. According to him, the noun
tain spring is the best; the river water
and the spring water come next in
the order of excellence. There are
three stages Of bDiling. The first boil
Is when the little bubbles like the eyes
of fishes swim on the surface. The
second boil is when the bubbles are
like crystal beads rolling in fountain.
The third boil is when the pillows
surge wildly in the kettle. The cake
tea Is roasted before the fire until it
becomes soft like a baby's arm and
Is shredded into powder between
pieces Of fine paper. Salt is put in
the first boil, the tea in the second. At
the third boil dipperful Of cold water
Is poured into the kettle to settle the
tea and revive the youth of the wa

"What do these statistics prove? Do
they prove that as a man gains In

is best, for many reasons, to be almost
as old as his wife's father, or do they
only prove that as men approach old
age they are more foolish than they

"Old N, aged seventy, with a third
wife of twenty-three, said on this head
the other day:
"'You can't marry a girl too young.

''They make these old fellows dress
younger, talk younger, act younger and
feel younger. Youth is contagious. A
young wife is believed to prolong an
old husbands life. If man of seventy

a girl Of twenty, I'd consider him bet

been before."-Philadelph Bulletin.
