DINING IN JAPAN.
II IT'S Your First Japanese Meal You
VIII Have q Trying Time.


Will Have n Trying Time.
If it's your first Japanese dinner
you'te having a dreadfully hard time.
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs i'll
Japan. You kneel down, and then you
turn your toes in till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
you don't think it's SO very uncomfort-
able. But pretty soon you get cramp-
ed, and your legs ache as if you had
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing, because you think that If the
Japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both your feet go to
sleep, and then you can't bear it a
moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to
drive the prickles out of your feet, and
all the little dancing girls giggle at
you. This isn't your only trouble Ell
ther. All you have to eat with is
pair of chopstlclSs, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor of
a Japanese house isn't just the floor;
it's the chairs and sofas and tables
and beds as we'll. At home it would
be mortifying enough to go out to din
ner and spill something on the floor,
but in Japan, where people sit and
sleep on the floor, it seems even worse.
So you are unhappy till your little ne
san (who is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls,
but not quite comes laughing to your
aid and shows you how to hold your
chopsticks. After that you manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
fish and the chicken you can't contrive
to shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
twelve years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep
from giggling at your awkwardness
but you don't mind; you just .giggle,
too, and everybody giggles and has a
lovely time-St. Nicholas.

Some WllG.r 4 .l.r S....:: ..:-
With Magic ::.-s..-..,ist::ic its Pew,
Though there are iiiintireCs of wc..ls
supposed to possess magical power
scattered all over England, the general
public is ignorant of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be a possible eS-
ception in the well of st. Keyne, in
Cornwall, for southey has made it ia
nous in witty little poem. The mag
ic Of its waters is such that the hus-
band or wife who drinks first from it
after leaving the altar will have the
upper hand over the mate for their
joint lives. The bride of whom Southey
tells us did not wait till after the mar
riage ceremony to pay visit to the
well, but took the precaution of taking
a bottle with her to the church.
Another well, in Monmorlthshire,
which has a peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maidens is known Is
the "virtuous> WELL" For generations
the maidens of that locality have ac-
credited it with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop pebble into it's water
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each bubble represents a month Of
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to propitiate
the genius which presides over the well
it is necessary to decorate the bram-
bles which shade it with bits of white
cloth.
Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such one is st. Winifred's, at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of its origin is very pretty
one. It is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter Of Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, a prince of i'll repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her in fit Of
rage. From the spot on which st.
Winifred's lifeblood fell there gushed
forth stream of crystal water which
has worked miracles In her name for
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
desh is heir can be cured by one or an
other Of these wells. st. Ninan's, In
Cornwall, is said to restore lunatics to
sanity. but the patient must be- inn
mersel in the water and held there un-
til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems n heroic measure. But even
this is not so severe as the treatment
which must be endured if a madman is
to be cured at Llandegla well. in
Wales. for after the victim Is nearly
drowned he is trussed like fowl and
laid under the communion table OF the
ueigi,boring church for the night.

Boys are frequently lost in the woods

record of an ocean liner bringing into

No Paupers In Japan.

With all our high wages and boasted
civilization the fact remains that you
will see more wretchedly poor in any
Of our great cities in day than you

earn a living. Would that we could say

Dusty work seems to be responsible
for consumption to a marked degree
In 2,161 cases Of consumption treated
at the sixty institutions of the Ger
man empire 1906 patients had been
employed in a dusty environment. The
kind of dust was not stated in 431
cases: in 1872 cases it was metal dust;
In 129, stone. coal or glass dust; in 116
wood dust; in III, wool dust, and in
