Economic on Table Linen.

The wise housekeeper of today
uses doilies instead of table cloths,
says The Delineator. Instead of
using a large table-cloth three times
day 1t is better to have a square
for breakfast and luncheon, put on
diagonally. or else a set of plain
doilies, for either of these insure an
attractive table aud also save laun
dering at least two large table cloths
a week. A few doilies or square
can be washed out and iroued with
very little trouble whenever they
need it.
With this partly covered table
there should certainly be a growing
plant or fern for the center, no mat
ter how simple it may be. After
these things the china really does
not natter so much, though for
breakfast nothing is so charming as
set of blue and white, which NAV
be picked up almost anywhere for a
small sum. Graceful shapes can be
easily found.

Letter From japan.


last letter told Of the various por.
tions OF the temple dedicated to
Ieyasu. All the splendor of those
decorations Is forgotten when one
sees the tomb itself, which is of
massive stone, surmounted by a
pagoda- shaped urn Of finest gold,
SILVER and copper bronze. Ia front,
on low table, are bronze incense
burner, a vase of bronze with lotus
flowers and leaves of brass, aud
bronze tortoise supporting a stork.
This ornament is seen frequently in
temples all over the empire, and
typi6es length Of days" The in
closure is surmounted by a lofty
stone wall with balustrade, and
shaded by grand old cryptomarias
and luxuriant growth of azelias
and bamboo grass. This unadorned
tomb of the mighty shogun, standing
ia silence and shade behind the
splendid red lacquerel temples raised
in his honor, is stately fuish to
this exquisite creation. Massive
stairways of stone, each gray with
lichen. lead to the tomb, each stone
being fitted with such exactncss as
to stand without morter the wear
aud tear Of nearly three centuries
without slightest displacement
Temples of Iemitsu, in close prox-
unity TO those Of leyasu, are reached
by an avenue that branches from the
grand approach. On the right are
two temples of Shinto faith, plain,
/ but Of much interest. On the left
is a red lacquered building dedicated
to Amida in which are preserved the
bones of Yoritoma, founder II the
shogunate. A flight Of steps leads
to the gate, guarded on each side by
gigantic wooden figures painted
bright red, and standing in inches.
Ia the inner court is q massive water
basin.
As there is much misunderstood
ing regarding the religion OF Japan
it may be we'll to say something it.
There is no Japanese religion in the
sense that we ordinarily understand
the term. They worship no gods.
japanese religion, or Shiutoism, il
simply reverence for ancestors.
They do not pray to them nor d.
they worship them. They deepl,
reverence them and erect temples I,
them, 60 which they make pilgrim
ages, not in the sense Of Worship
but to do honor to the memories o'
departed relatives and heroes. Ther'
are no Japanese gods, neither II
there a japanese heaven OF hell. Al
temples, and the empire is covere'
with them, have been erected il
honor Of some one who has passei
away, and those relatives, frlen's
and admirers have taken this mehs
Of honoring him. Buddhism is
taugh by many priests and be-
lieved in by many japanese, out 1t
Is an imported religion and 1es not
belong to the people excef as IL
has been instilling into th.r minds.
/ There are hundreds of Buddhist
temples, but they are no the ones

FINALLY THE WORM TURNED.

A muscular Irishman strolled into
the Civil Service examination room,
where candidates for the police force
are put to a physical test.
"Strip, "ordered the police surgeon.
"What's that 7" demanded the un-
initiated.
"Get your clothes off and be quick
about it," said the doctor.
The Irishman disrobed, and per-
mitted the doctor to measure his chest
and legs and to pound his back.
"Hop over this BAR" ordered the
doctor.
The man did his best, landing on
his back.
"Now double up your knees and
touch the floor with your hands" !"
He sprawled, face downward, on
the floor. He was indignant but ST.
lent.
Jump under this cold shower, :"
ordered the doctor.
"Sure that's funny?" muttered the
applicant.
"Now run around the room ten
times to test your heart and wind, !"
The candidate rebelled. "I'llnot;
I'll sthay single"
"Single?" asked the doctor, sur
prised.
"Sure," said the Irishman; what's
all this fussing got to do with mar
riage license :"

already enough expensive hotels in
New York, and the experience of the
managers during the recent panic
ought to have taught them not to
have too much of a good thing. But
there seems to be sufficient confidence
in the future to induce the invest
ment of several more millions in that
line of enterprise. The Hotel Astor,
which has been remarkably success
full, Is to be doubled in capacity at a
cost of two and half million of dol
lars, with an inside theatre, a vast
roof garden and various other novel
ties which are expected to attract
custom.
The stock company of Englishmen
which owns the Ritz and Carlton Ho-
tells in London and the Ritz Hotel in
Paris, is about to begin the erection
of another palatial house at the north
east corner of Madison avenue and
Forty-sixth street, just back of the
New York Central Railway Station,
which will cost two and a half mil
lions and will represent the most ex-
treme ideas of luxury. It is to be
called "the Ritz Carlton :" will re-
semble the Carlton of London, and
will be managed by men transferred
from the Carlton and the Ritz to New
York. There will be 800 sitting
rooms and 400 bedrooms furnished in
the most luxurious and expensive
manner, with a bathroom connected
with every bedroom.
During the last ten years $50, ,ooo,-
600 has been expended on hotels in
New York city, and they are already
the most advanced, convenient, luxu-
rious and expensive ever conceived of.
The Waldorf Astoria is assessed for
taxation at $I2, 100, 900, the new
Plaza at 81, ,6oo. 900, the Astor at $5,-
600, 900, the Belmont at $3,875, 900,

booker at 81, 900, 900, the Gotham at
81, ,25o, 900, and in addition to these
there are ffty-two other hotels of
similar valuation on the assessors
books, which, of course, represented
not more than so or 60 per cent. of
the actual investment.

ICELEss ICE BOXES.

Horseless wagons, smokeless pow
der, noiseless guns and iceless ice
boxes. The last item is described in
POPULAR AlechGnics. 1t consists of an
electric motor belted to pump which
keeps a cooling solution moving
through a set of pipes which are
placed in the refrigerator.
These pipes are similar to the
steam or hot water radiators in the
living rooms, only they cool instead
of heat the apartment.
The machine is entirely automatic,
and constantly maintains whatever
degree of cold is selected. The mo-
ment the thermometer rises above
that point the machine starts up Of
itself and works until the apartment
is sufficiently cooled; then it stops of
itself.
The whole affair is so simple as to
require practically no attention, ex-
cept an occasional oiling, which is no
more difficult than to oil sewing ma
chine. At trifing expense one can also
fix up basement room as cold stor-
age for large supplies, such as barrels
Of apples, jars of butter, sacks Of po-
tatoes, etc., which 1t is now impossi-
Bile to keep In the average residence.
In many families the saving effected
by purchasing supplies in quantities
instead of from day to day would be
enough to pay the cost of operating
the cold storage system if not, the
amount formerly spent for ice certain
1y would.

BE WAS SITTING DOWN.

The late James A. Bailey, famous
as the successor of P. I. Barnum,
once accepted an invitation to a din
uer- rendered to q bride and groom
He was late in arriving and found the
company politely awaiting him, says
the Success Magazine. There were
living skeletons, dwarfs, Circassians,
snake charmers, the "girl who spoke
seven languages and had two heads,
which made fourteen languages in
all ;" the "dog-faced boy" and 9TH
ers. Beaming upon them with pa
ternal air, the happy manager ac-
knowledged the genial 'hallo, pop"
that went around the festal board.
81 am sorry I kept you waiting"
he said, taking his place at the table.
IT believe there are several new ad-
ditions to the company. Is this the
groom?"
"No," replied a deep voice from
the full beard addressed. "I am the
bride"
II beg your PARDON" said Bailey.
"I did not recognize the bearded
lady. But, tell me, which is the
groom?"
IT am" proclaimed very thin
voice.
In establishment Mr.. Bailey glanc-
ed up at the figure towering near his
elbow.
II congratulate you, my man" I"
said the show man. "Sit down, let us
on with the feast-sit down."
The guest addressed at once began
to ascend seemingly until his head
was in the neighborhood of the canvas
roof, from which height he looked
down and said
"I was sittin' down, pop-I was
sittin' down p
