"Ths loyalty and implicit obedience

Is something far in excess Of what we
understand by patriotism in America"
said w. r. olney. retired San Fran
cisco merchant, according to the Bal
timore American.
mot long since, while was In
Tokyo, an imperial rescript was issued
reciting that the people were not
practicing frugality sufficiently and
directing everybody to be more care
full in the expenditure OF money. Now,
the Japanese never we're an extrava-
CANT race. but just the contrary, and
yet on the publication OF this paper
every mothers son OF them began to
tighten up and in a little while the
decrease in buying was so marked
that the merchants 'made a big howl,
which got to those in authority-the
elder statesmen-with the result that
second rescflpt was proclaimed alb
rogating the former and telling the
faithful subjects Of the mikado they
might use their money more literally.
This put matters back on the old foot

where for the past three months a
treasure seeking expedition. sent down
by London syndicate, has been quiet
ly working says the London Chron-

three or four weeks ago suspended
operations in order to get more pow.

working order. and although the sal

went ashore there with about 20 tons
of specie aboard.
Everybody who lives on the coast
is familiar with the appearance OF the

washed up on the beach from time to

been discovered recently by people

TRAPPING THE ELUSIVE FLEA
Bureau Of Entomology Claims to Have
Discovered Method Of Cireum-

The bureau Of entomology of the de-
partment OF as gri:ulture in Washing

the irritating little flea. According to
Van Norden's Magazine, the govern.
ment has discovered a method by
which any housekeeper may rid her.
self of fieas within a short time.
Fill a glass three-fourths with wa
ter, on top Of which pour about an inch
OF olive oil, then place night float Ga
little wick inserted in cardboard
disc or in cork disc) in the center OF
the oil. Place the tumbler in the CEN
ter OF soup plate filled with strong
soapsuds. The wick should be lighted
at night on retiring, or may be used
in any dark room. AS the soup plate
soapsuds trap is placed on the floor
OF the room It does not interfere with
the sleeper, and the fieas which are on
the floor are attracted to the light.
For outbuildings, such as barns, etc..
a large milk pan may be used, and In
stead Of olive oil and a glass, a stable
lantern may be placed In the center of
the pan, while instead OF soapsuds a
scum Of kerosene may be put on the
water in the milk pan.
