Worcester Sauce.

In some of his recollections the
American author, Mr.. Owen Wister,
tells a good story concerning himself.
Some time ago while in Washington
he was presented to the wife OF high
government official-a very ample
lady, and one whose appearance indl-
Gated that she possibly enjoyed the
material comforts of life more than
the esthetic.
When Mr.. Wisters name was men
toned she regarded him with consid-
cradle interest, and the author began
to think that something very compli.
mentary was going to be said concern
ing his books. The lady beamed once
or twice in a preliminary sort OF way
and then remarked with genuine feel
ing:
"You know it's often very hard tc
catch the names of people who are in
troduced to you, and sometimes it's
hard to remember them. But in your
case it's so different. l really want tc
tell you, Mr.. Worcester, how much
like your sauce!"

Defects Of the japanese

An English merchant resident for
many years in China recently visited
Japan+' He makes the following in
teresting comparison between the
natives of the two countries: GAS
nation I cannot think that the Japa-
nese have the permanent staying
qualities of the Chinese. They are
physically inferior, and have the mis-
fortune to inhabit country of active
volcanoes and frequent earthquakes,
whose terrors destroy or threaten.
Yeddo was wrecked and 100000 peo-
pie killed by an earthquake in 1855,
and you must remember the devasta-
ton of the one in 1891. The average
is 500 shocks, great and small, every
year. There have been two eruptions
and several shocks since I've been
here and the peerless mountain, Full
yama, sometimes gives threatening
signs and may suddenly spread wide
cast ruin. This dread of earthquakes
has restricted the architecture and
household arrangements of the whole
country.
Chinese are employed by the for
eign banks, merchants and hotels here
for most responsible positions, COM
pradores, godown keepers and head

servants. The general testimony is
that Japanese are untruthwOrthy for
such positions and that native mer-
chants have not much commercial
honor. Moral responsibility appears
to rest too lightly upon all of his
class, which may be partly caused by
the facilities afforded by the numer-
GUS temples for the remission of sins.
A coin thrown into box, bell rung,
devout attitude and a short formal
prayer quickly brings the sinner into
favor again with his gods.
Making allowance for the small
stature of these people, their children,
especially the thousands of school,
boys I've seen, appear puny and weak
and they are tame and girlish in their
sports. The small size and frequent
hollow chests Of the men detract from
their appearance as soldiers and po-
lice; physique and disposition will
always prevent the Japs from realiz-
ing our ideal Of a soldier-a man OF
good size by our standards, we'll de-
veloped, erect, smart and brisk. The
troops I saw marching and drilling

The presence in New York OF Mitch

In the course of a general converse
ton the English fighter happened to
make some adverse comment upon the

called forth a sarcastic remark from
BrOdie with reference to Mitchells
abilities as sprinter while in the ring
with the American champion. ~
With an oath the Englishman: gave
the smaller man push that sent him

rushed upon him to administer correc-

He was erect on his feet with pistol

reached him. Putting the weapon IN.
