Musicianship on "the DEVILS bag

centralized where the organs are
made SO that the history OF the devel.

concerned very largely with Boston.

Challenged the King.
Once when he criticised some work
OF Bjornsuerne Biornson's the poet
accuoed him of jealousy and actually
sent him a challenge. The king
took no notice Of this. but some time
afterward when he was serenaded BY
singing society he asked them to
sing one Of Bjornson's poems and he
stood with his head barred while they
did SO. On the following day ne
sent the poet the order Of st. Olaf
with an autograph letter.
In private life his fad is collecting
pottery, especially Sevres. He is
fond of taking his callers into the
private dining room of the palace
and exhibiting his treasures. Then
he will tell how he restored the room
to its ancient beauty, having layer

l The king gets up at a. m, works
an hour and breakfasts at $50. The
corning is given up to walking for
health and pleasure and to business
Of state.
He has luncheon at 2:30 and
spends most of the afternoon in so
cial engagements, including visits to
the homes Of his children. He
sleeps for an hour before dinner
plays billiards or whist from $3.50 to
IL and does his literary work in the
last hour before going to bed at
1880.
He drinks several glasses of Bor
deaux wine or little beer every day
and smokes very little, using very
mild, denicotinized tobacco.

The king has Travelled over al

put the matter in a nutshell, the plan
Is to draw foreign investors to the
support of these various companies
and the government is used to stalk
the foreign investor.
Two years ago before the war with
Russia, no sane business man familiar
with the situation in Japan would
have dreamed of endorsing any sug

pansion of the capitalized interests Of
the company.
On the capitalization then existing
quotations on four-fifths of the or.
canned industries in Japan had been
steadily declining in the market for
decade, and leading financial author
Ivy had counseled reorganization of
some enterprises on a more moderate
basis. This was when a business prop-
osltion in Japan was estimated by the
same general standards that measure
such propositions elsewhere.
Since then the nation has fought
