Tricked Of the Time.

A Philadelphia lawyer, who spends
most of his time at his country estate,
employs a sturdy Irish gardener
whose one desire in life is to live until
the banner of freedom is unfurled over
ireland.
One evening the lawyer strolled
through the grounds of his place and
stopped to have a chat with the gar
1ener. -
Michael, do you know that while
We are here enjoying the beautiful
twilight it is dark midnight in Ire

Japan compels a more rigorous ex-
animation at her various ports of
entry than any other country. China
makes no examination whatever, per.
haps on the principle that it is diff.
cult to sweeten bad egg.
All holders of official positions in
Japan are obliged to wear European
dress, and the little Japs who boarded
our steamer looked, in their long,
green coats, elab6rately ornamented,
like schoolboys in their fathers
clothes. They are very important little
people, you must know; but one of
these came to grief in manner
speedy as it was unexpected.
Everything is so neat and clean in
Japan, it looks as if somebody had got
up before breakfast to sweep and dust
the whole country. Prince Haseba, in
an after-dinner speech at Spokane,
said: IF you should visit a Japanese
house you would be obliged to remove
your shoes at the doorway. Japanese
floors are beautifully kept. know of
some houses where 30 or 40 servants
have no other duty than the polishing
of the floors.'
And Japan is the land of unrealities.
The whole country is toy shop.
Everything is small. The horses are
all ponies; the chickens bantams; the
dogs small and shy-with apologize
manners-they wouldn't presume to
bark at your heels without first ask
ing permission; the oysters are about
as large as a quarter; clans no larger
than q dime; bananas not more than
four or five inches long; and oranges

YOUTHFUL BANK PRESIDENT

John H. Edwards, who resigned the position
of assistant secretary of the treasury to become
president of the Mercantile National bank to
succeed F. Augustus Heinz, who was forced out
during the furry that followed the collapse of
the corner in United Copper in October, is a
little past 80 years of age. He began life as
bank clerk in Ohio, and by the time he reached
voting age he had been elected assistant secre-
tary of the Bankers association of Ohio. Con-
gresham Weaver of Springfield, O., offered him
the position of private secretary some ten years
ago, and Edwards accepted it and went to Wash
ington with him. That position he held until
1901, when the congressman was retired. His
