QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
Odd Faith Exhibited in the Mikado's
Domains.

In Japan the lover orders or lie
not only make war and supply meat,
but evince other peculiarties that rem
der them invaluable concomitants OF
civilization. A few days ago num-
Der OF people were seen gazing intent
ly toward the upper limbs OF large
pine tree. Stopping to learn the Sc
cret of this unusual interest, man
was observed descending the tree,
while crow was furiously cawing ana
beating about his head; then 1t was
seen that the trespasser had possessed
himself of one OF her brood, aii uiipie-
possessing little chick that no one
could be imagined to fancy for pet.
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow, he replied that 1t
made excellent medicine for the
blood: "Chi-no-michi-no kusuri,' to
use his exact words. To insure the
efficacy of the medicine, he explained,
the bird must be taken before it leaves
the nest, if possible, or, if it has left
can drink water; for, he asserted, IL
it has of itself taken water, 1t loses
all virtue as a blood-cure. The pro-
cess of preparing the remedy is, first,
to kill the crow and, without cleaning
ii, to encase the body in an alright
covering of cement or clay. The
mould is then baked for two or three
days in a hot fire. When the clay
crust is removed, naturally the crow
will be found to be black, lump or
pure charcoal This is pulverized and
converted into pills of the pink" or
der, which are very popular here as
blood regulator. He reminded his in
terlocutors that the medicine was very
rare because of the difficulty of find
ing a crow that had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere, and
appeared extremely proud of his sue
cess in having secured the bird. He
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.

achievements Of the Japanese Red
Cross Society in the late war, are ac-

one cake of Cuticura Soap and one

bled with eczema of the head, and a
friend Of mine told me to use the
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, and
am glad to say that they cured my
eczema entirely. Since then we have
always kept the soap on hand at all

at his wife. Both women nodded and
the conductor called: "All aboard"
Mr.. Ramsdale hurriedly kissed his
wife and swung on the step. His wife
waved her hand and as she turned
away laughed out loud.
Mr.. Ramsdale entered the sleeping
car, behind the porter and his first
glance was towards the girl that his
wife had recognized.
She was dressed entirely in black,
which suited her dark beauty, a big
| picture hat on her head and long
black gloves seemed to complete her
costume.
Very pleased that Ia could use his
wife's recognition as a basis to be-
come acquainted with this beautiful
girl he said:

are you going?"
TO the same place. 1t will be de-
lightful to have company"
The train pulled out and the two
went to dinner together. When they
were at the table he was rather sur
prised that she did not remove her
gloves, but he was so deep in his flirta-
tion that he made no remark.
The next day was spent by the two
together in pleasant converse. She
received several kilograms at Mem
phis the next day. One of them was
from his wife and she showed it to
him. 1t was as follows:
'To Miss Marcella Train, Memphis,
Tenn: My husband is on the train.
Will you please tell him that 1 have
sent him telegram to New Orleans.
Have you met him? Please answer.
Francis Ramsdale."
Marcella showed him the telegram
and then said: 81 answered at once
and told her that you had introduced
yourself as soon as you came on the
train"
81 am sorry" he said, that you told
her we were acquainted. My wife is
always complaining about my flirting
and l suppose she will call my becom-
ing acquainted with you flirting"
The filtration went on until the
train pulled into the depot at New
Orleans.
They walked side by side till they
had neared the gate then she pointed
to a well-dressed negro standing be-
side the gate and said:
There is my intended husband"
What! not that negro!" he ex-
claimed in horror.
She laughed and said: "Why not?
I am a negro, too, at any rate l had
negro mother"
Stopping still where he stood he
looked at her in dismay and horror
She laughed again and said Good
by. l hope you enjoyed our little
Irritation"
He was too stupified to answer and
she walked away still laughing AS
she reached the gate she turned
around and called to him: "Be sure
and get your wife's telegram"
He hurried to the telegraph Office
and inquired for his message. When
it was handed him grim smile spread
over his face and he knew his wife
had put up job on him, For these
words met his gaze:
