of New York families have found thai the Japanese servant was studying economics and finances at the uni versailles in the evening.
 These ambitious young Japanese, although they may have been gradu- ated from high schools or universi- ties in their own countries, purpose ly select some form of manual labor to support themselves here in order that they may have. their minds clear for the university work.
 The largest university contingent of Japanese in the east is at New York university, in this city, where there are 36 of the busy little yellow men and women. Five are studying in the law school, three are in the school of pedagogy, three take regu- lar evening college courses, and 25 are in the School of Commerce. The large number of Japanese in the School of Commerce is attributable tc the voraeity with which the Japanese gobble up American commercial the ory. --.-
 They are among our best students keen, alert and conscientious" de- clared an officer of the school, "bu' it is a curious fact that they do not flock to the more practical courses such as those in accounting. They take more general work than any other class of students. The theory and philosophy of business are what they appear to want, and courses in business management, finance, eco- monies, railroad management ano similar subjects seem to attracct them irresistibly."
 It is interesting to note that Q, the two women students in the univer- sity. one, Miss Nobu Foruya. is of semi-rOyal family, and is taking courses in literature, languages and philosophy simply as matters of gen. eral culture to enjoy in her home life when she returns. The other wo- man student, Miss Umem Kitagawa of TOkio. is studying advanced sub iects in the school of pedagogy with the idea of applying her knowledge as teacher in Japan.
 Far sighted educators see in the group work of these students the phenomenon of great national smbi- tion. for they say, just as the island kingdom devoted years of study in military science toward the task o eonquering the power of Russia and enforcing a sort of yellow Monroe doctrine in the far east, SO now she is training her sons to conquer tho world. not by force Of arms. but in commercial effectiveness and the force of her advancing science and philOs0phy.-New York Tribune.

Another use for the cable is for loading and unloading ships in places
 where there is no harbor within two miles or so of the shore. as in many cases in South America. but a prettier use still and one where no other mechanism can take it's place is in the passing of coal between two vessels, especially when both are moving at a rapid speed and the ocean is more or less rough, says a
 writer in the Engineering Maga-
 zine. The first marine cableway was successfully installed on the [. s. collier Marcellus where 20 to q tons of coal per hour were transferred, two bags being carried on each trip, and the speed of the ships being from , to 6 knots at the time. The second trial was on he British collier Muriel where s to 40 tons per hour were transferred over a moderate sea. and through a half gale of wind to II. NJ. S. T-afal- gar. the battleship mainta ming a speed of from s to II knots. An- other experiment was made with the Russian ba-tleship Retyizan. in which special electric hoists were de- signed by the General Electric com pany to meet the requirements of the Russian navy. These had a speed of l 200 feet per minute for the full load or'2.oOO feet per m.r- ute for a half load. The best rec ord was in the fall of 1906. when the Royal Italian cruiser Liguria was coaled. In this case. the cables were guaranteed for 70 tons per hour. but actually passed 60 tons per hour. while the trial hoard re- ported the actual capacity as from 70 to S0 tons.

THE PLUG HAT OF JAPAN.
Vintage of Fifty Years Ago Make
 Mikado's Subjects Proud.

There is one sight which you must not miss when you go to Tokio, said the seasoned traveller. That is the rare display of anthropological plug hats.
 Some people arrange to get to Japan in cherry blossom season. and others want to get there in time to receive an invitation to the Elm peror's garden party in chrysanthe- mum time; but take the tip of one who has batted about the world con- siderably and land in Tokio either on New Years Day or on the Emperors birthday. On both you can see some thing unique in the line of head gear.
 When Jajan began to get civilized she bought all the accessories of civ ilization that England did not want any more. England sold her old up to the present. Japan may build railroad stock, antiquated tram cars and other second hand junk includ- ing the then current styles of plug hats,
 The tile of those days has re- mained the ruling fashion to Japan up to the uresent. Japan may build Dreadnoughts. but the plug hat of fifty years ago still reigns supreme.
 only on such eeremoniOus oecas- ions as the New Years festivities, the Emperor's birthday or possibly the racing meets at Negishi, near Yokohama. does the Japanese gen. tleman bring forth from his camphor wood chest his plug hat. heritage from his forefatheTs. IL may he warped with twenty summers; damp or green with the shine of antiquity. but that matters nothing.
 ''Onee this superstTucture to his wrinkled frock coat and bagged trousers is added. the Japanese gen tIeman feels that no dignity short of decoration of the Order Of the Rising Sun can be added to his per- son Tha. crowning glory of a plug hat may settle around his ears or 1t may perch upon his head like half a peanut shell. but no matter: fl Is | the hat of civilization and the badge of responsibility
 He trots out of his house looking | like one of the aneien. daimios stiR with the dignity of tEo swords. All that fearful day he wears his hat of ancient vintage like a crown. and in the end he slows 1t away in his damp proof chest awaiting another ! fesfzl occasion or held as an asset in his esfase after death

Friends of candidates for the re- publican nomination are indignant al the representations made by the Taft managers that everything is go- ing Taft's way. They allege that every time a delegate is elected, the Taft people promptly claim either that he has been instructed to vote for Taft or that he will so vote when the opportunity is afforded. The
 effect of such claims widely her aided throughout the country, upon conventions as they are held is very evident. Every one likes to be on the winning side and when conven- tions are led to believe that one par ticular candidate is sweeping every thing before him, the chances that he will be indorsed are largely in creased. Yet the allied candidates flor justly or otherwise they are regarded as being allied-have only themselves to blame for this condi tion. The Taft people are the only ones who are making any noise or who are giving out any news. Con- sequently their stuff and their candi- date is getting the best show in the press. It may not always be re- liable and it is undoubtedly tinted, but it is generally used and whether or not it is about all the information obtainable here as to the progress of the various candi- dates throughout the country. It has been reported several times that the allied interests will establish a press bureau here to counteract the activities of the Taft bureau, but up to this writing the same is not in evidence.

"Oh, yes, pops old hat, Aunt Maria's corset, bag BROWNS CHARCOAL, and a bag of OTTO COKE" replied Jimmie. You don't mean you have bag of charcoal or coke in your win dow?" queried the teacher. Gee, no, Ma gets our breakfast quick with them. We use the bags for the windows" said James. After the teacher explained why Browns Charcoal and Otto Coke made fire easily, she taught James how to spell glass.

The growing scarcity of game nam
mails and birds in the United States
and the threatened extinction of some
of them over large parts of their pres
ent ranges make the preservation OF
the remnant highly important. Very
remnant so as to make game once
more abundant. 1t is believed that
by means of intelligent game propaga
ton, both by the states and by pri
vate enterprise, many of our depleted
ranges can be restocked with big
game.
The members of the deer family
rank next to the cattle and sheep in
general utility, and are the most i'm
portant of the big game animals OF
America.
Wherever obtainable in quantity
the flesh of the deer of different kinds
has always been staple article of
diet, and under present market con-
ditions it is hardly necessary to say
that venison is perhaps the most i'm
portant game, being favorite with
epicures and also having a wide use
as a substitute for beef and mutton,
which meats it resembles in texture,
color and general characteristics. Its
flavor is distinctive, though it sug.
gests mutton rather than beef. In
chemical composition it is very sim
liar to beef, though, judging from
available data, it is not so fat as stall
fed cattle. The following figures
show how it compares with beef and
mutton: A lean venison roast before
cooking has been found to contain on
an average of IS per cent. of water,
20 per cent. of protein or heterogeneous
material, and two per cent. OF fat; a
lean beef rump, some IS to 70 per
cent. of water, 20 to % per cent. of
protein and to IA per cent. fat; and
a lean leg of mutton, 67 per cent. of
water, 10 per cent. of protein and IL
per cent. of fat.
Raising deer for profit does not
necessarily imply their. complete do
mestication They may be kept in
large preserves with surroundings as
nearly natural as possible and their
domestication entirely ignored. Thus
the breeder may reap nearly all the
profit that could be expected from a
domestic herd, while the animals es-
cape most of the dangers incident to
close captivity. But the breeder who
aims at the ultimate domestication of
the animals, and whose herd ap-
proaches nearest to true domesticity.
will in the end be most successful.
The wapiti, including two related
species and a geographic race, and
known generally in America as the
elk, is, next to the moose, the largest
of our deer. 1t was once abundant
over the greater part Of the United
States, whence its range extended
northward to about latitude 60 de-
grees in the Peace river region of the
interior of Canada. In the United
States the limits of it's range east
ward were the Adirondacks, western
New Jersey and eastern Pennsyl-
