JAPANNED ENGLISH.
Some Amusing Blunders an Trans

By George KEENAN,.

Every foreigner who has explored IN a 1lh-
rikisha the great street labyrinth of Toxic must
have noticed the comparatively frequent occur
renee of English signboards over the shops OF
japanese tradesmen. One seldom runs across a
French or German signboard. but in al parts
of the city, even in quarters TO which foreign
ers seldom 60. and over shops that tourists never
patronize ore sees among the perpendicular
strings OF Chinese ideographs the familiar let
tiers Of the English alphabet Often, however,
If is oalv the letters that are familiar. The
words of which they form a part are as unintel-
ligible as cipher or a cryptogram The first
time passed japanese signboard bearing the
legend 'AIiuk Hole / tried in vain to guess
what the owner of the shop had for sale; and
!. was not until I hal seen other sgnboards
inscribed "Fullish Milk "Fluish Milk" "Fulish
Butter" and MILK Holl" that 1 was able to
solve the puzzle. ''Miluk Hole" was intended
for Milk Hall" Why a by 9 shop for the sale
of dairy products should be called a hall" I
cid not know and have never since been able
TO ascertain: but the Japanese invariably call
such shops Holes Hollis, or Halls" when
they describe them in English on their sign
boards --Fullish' -Fulish,' and "Fluish" are
attempts to spell phoneticaly the word fresh
as il sounds TO the Oriental ear English words
containing the letter r" give the Japanese a
great deal Of trouble; and in trying to repro
duce them, with their imperfect knowledge Of
alphabetic values, they make some curious and
funny combinations
One would hardly guess that "karare and
Kufus'' meant collars and cuffs. unless one
happened to see japanese ironing those arti-
cles in the laundry bearing the signboard.
Neither would one recognize the English element

est Of Soignies. near Brussels. few
mornings ago the forest guards were not
little taken aback when they met In the
midst OF the woods an unknown being
looking and behaving as much like
monkey as like a man. The police opened
an inquiry, and q trap was set. Tho po-
licemen hid themselves behind trees to
catch the monster. but the latter made
his escape by climbing up the trees ana
running Though the thicket.
Later the mystery was solved, when the
strange being was found in starving
condition at the foot OF tree. 1t IS
really a man. but his aspect Is most ter
rifying. His hair and his beard are those
of a savage he cannot answer que stions
put to him except by terrible snrleks. MS
eyes are those Of a madman, he Is fright
fully thin and dirty. and he wears moth

AS he was lying under the tree several
doctors were called to examine him. ana

He was sent to Antwerp, and Immediately

and addressed him In Norwegian. On
hearing at last his mother tongue the man
burst into tears and began to talk with
