T0KIO,S SCARE.

The Japanese are smart, and occa- sionally there is one who is perhaps a little too smart One has just made himself noticed in Tokio. According to an old superstition, the present year has been denominated as the Year of the Kicking Horse" which means a wear of great disasters for Japan. Earthquakes are pretty frequent in that country, and when two or three ocurred in the latter part of last week, it can be easily understood what a scare was given the Toklo community, when it was remembered the ancient prediction stated that the capital city was to be destroyed by either earth quake or tidal wave during 1906 Thus was the population of Tokio prepared for a most elaborate hoax, and some what serious and cruel one at that It came about in this way: Some persons representing themselves as being at the Central Observatory sent out a warn- ing that there would be terrible earth quake shocks, which would involve the safety of the city. Of course, the re- port reached the Emperor, who was se- Iriously alarmed until he ascertained the facts. Not less alarmed were a group of diplomatists and high officials, who were entertaining Prince Arthur of IConnaught in Uyeno Park, and who were also made the victims of the hoax. Whoever the mischief-makers were, they made clean sweep of the city, and succeeded in badly soaring the peo- 1 ple. Like the excitable little people they are, the Japs extinguished all fires, merchants left their shops and rushed into the streets, and thousands packed up their valuables in readiness to flee the city. Many tea houses closed their doors. and the geishas declined invita-
 tions to dance. It was, in fact, thor ough season of panic, and one that To- kio will not forget for long time.
 We believe they don't boil people in oil any more in Japan, but the
 ''smarty" who got up this affair will
 get his due if the other smart Japanese
 catch him, as they probably will

It is said that during the great bat
 tie of Blenheim a spaniel followed the Duke of Marlborough all day long
 close at heel, never leaving him until 1 the tide of success had turned de-
 cisively in favor of the British arms. { The Duke took the dog home, and his
 Duchess, the famous Sarah Churchill,
 cared for it till it's death This dog the story goes, was the progeEitor of
 the well-known Blenheim spaniels.
 Ever since that time it has been the custom in the Churchill family for
 each Duke to present a spaniel to his
 bride when she enters Blenheim Palace for the first time as it's mistress Those who for the first time visit Belvoir Castle, one of the seats of the Duke of Rutland, will witness with
 surprise a strange relic of mediaeval
 times. All night long a watchman
 paees the battlebents with a hal
 bered ever his shoulder, and every hour
 calls aloud the time and the condition of the weather, exactly as the London "Charleys" of century ago used to do. This custom has prevailed ever since the very beginning of the six
 teenth century, and until a few years
 ago the watchman still retained the
 Elizabethan costume. The dress has now given way to more convenient modern garments, but the watchman

WILL SHE REHEMBER9

The law has a habit of saying things in a solemn and apparently convincing way, but 1t is sometimes found that people who ought to be convinced by it's sayings are not. Tn Utica, New York, John Faro, nineteen years old, and his wife, fourteen, have quarrelled continu- ally over who would be "boss" of the home, ever since they were married two weeks ago. Mrs. Faro caused the ar rest of her husband, charging that he had scratched her face, and for evil dence she presented the face, which was certainly scratched. Under pres sure the girl confessed that she scratched her own face to make the judge warn her husband to be more sympathetic "Go home with your hus- band, and, remember, he is boss " said the judge.

Gentlemen continue to ely peace, peace, but the great nations continue to actively prepare for war. Even in this comparatively peaceful country we are probably going to have summer pna- neuvers" which will be as elaborate and important as the best of them. The heads of the special staff of the army who have charge of subsistence, trans portation and camp sanitation are mak- ing preliminary arrangements for the mobilization next summer at seven camps, in various parts of the country, of all the field artillery, cavalry and in- fantry commands at garrisons within the United States. This action is taken in anticipation of Congressional provi- sion of funds for such a concentration of the troops, and for the participation in some of the military operations of militia organizations. This includes the assembling at Plattsburg barracks of the troops in New York and other Eastern States, together with such of the militia in the same part of the country as are able to attend for a part of the three months duration of the camp at that place.
 Of course, if the appropriation for this mobilization of troops is not made

 A curious custom in connection with l the birth of an heir to the earldom of Carnarvon is still observed at High cere Castle. The tradition of the family requires that on such an oc- cassion 800 gallons of ale must be

 whcih must remain unopened until the heir shall attain his majority. The
 last occasion of this observance was

 Seeing that it is illegal for any sub ject to retain an armed force, it is not strange that the one exception to this law, namely the Duke of Atholl, jealously guards his privilege of keep ing up two companies of retainers.

BooTSEY IND THE BLuE.
But will she remember?

New Haven is not left long without something to talk about. Now it is "Bootsey" Creedon's escape from New Hayen's lookup. "Bootsey'' is, it ap- pears, quite an escaper. He was ar rested in Springfield last week for run ming an opium joint, and while hand cuffed and on his way to the police sta ton slipped away and vaulted several fences before he was caught. He was brought down here from Springfield and put into the lookup because he had been charged with theft here. In the lookup was one of the young gentlemen of Yale who was being courteously allow ed to get sober in 9 safe place When the time came to let the young gentle man of Yale depart in peace and peni- tence his name was called. Being ab- sorbed in the sleep of the just he didn't hear his name. But "Bootsey," not be- ing able to sleep the sleep of the just, did hear 1t, calmly walked out of the lookup, gracefully and gratefully took the property of tae student which was handed to him, and went forth into freedom.
 Impudent "Bootsey!" But now could such a distinguished criminal as he is possibly be mistaken for young gen. tleman of Yale? The incident seems to furnish matter for the Sociological de- partment to consider.

by Congress the plans will be dropped with the preliminary steps which a-e now being taken, but it is considered that the chances for such a movement of troops are good, and that it would be necessary to make the arrangements far in advance. This is especially so when it comes to transporta tion. as the troops will proceed by marching in- stead of by railroad, the infantry cov- ering not more than two hundred miles, going to and coming from the camps, and the mounted troops marching three or four hundred miles, This means | that the Quartermaster's department must provide a large amount of wagon transportation for the transfer of com pany baggage, tentage, cooking facil- lties, medical supplies, ammunition, etc. | The signal corps also will be required to make special arrangements in the way of telephonic and telegraphic com- munication, and will probably be about the busiest of any of the special staff corps, since the signal branch is short of men on account of the presence in
 the Philippines of $50 of the enlisted force, while in Alaska there are 15o
 men, The signalling will include the latest devices in communication, and at some of the camps the military ball. looms will be used in the practical test of the advantage of that system of ob-
 servation in the field.
