lates all our western conceptions of what a tree ought to be. But the Japanese taste in trees and in some other things, is peculiar, and if this sort of thing pleases them, it is nobody's business but their own.
 While at Nara, had my first experience with a Japanese doctor. In some way or other, had been unfortunate enough to contract bad case of lacquer poisoning on my left wrist. At first this affliction, which Is much like that of poison oak, did not bother so much; but. when it began to spread and threatened even to get into my eyes, concluded to seek medical attention, and so called at the office of ia gentleman who was highly commended by the hotel proprietor. He chanced to be out, but his whole force of assistants, attendants. and nurses-for like most medical men of the country, he had ? little private hospital-thronged to the door to meet me. was probably the first foreigner that had ever called there for treatment, and such was an object or legitimate curiosity. While we were try ing to understand one another, up rode the doctor in his jinrikisha and invited
 me to enter. Well, now entering Jap anese house is a serious thing, not to be done in our helter-skelter manner but only with a due amount of ceremony. AS a first act of the drama I was getting ready to take off my shoes. But ser want. seeing that I was a foreigner. lind ly relieved me of the task by bringing

exactly 40 cents for services rendered me. Nor was this clerical cut rate, for neither the doctor nor his man knew that I was a minister and neither would have thought any the better of me for knowing It.. The probabilities seem to be that only few Japanese physicians be- come mllionaires on their fees. But the "ungent' worked like a charm In few days the eruption had dried up, and in side of two weeks the skin was as smooth as ever. My 40 cents were we'll spent.
 Leaving Maya for Kioto, two hours away, we passed through some of the fin est tea plantations in the empire, lying around the village of Uji. Tradition has 1t that the tea plant was first brought into the country by a Buddhist priest from China in sO5 A. D., and these Cii plantations date from the year 1200 A. D. was gratified to learn that they still be- long to individual proprietors who at tend to cultivating. plucking, curing and selling the crop, each man on his own account Combined capital has not yet sought to grasp the business. A great deal of the work, which Is light, but tedious, is done by women. Each separate leaf must be picked by itself, and femine hands are well adapted to such toll. MT. Lloyd says that tea farmer is always glad to have large family, as he needs the help of many hands, and that he is willing even to welcome girls a fact that is not always true in the east. sThe best of this Lii tea commands fancy prices. sometimes as much as four gold dollars per pound Whether it is really any bet fer than some of the cheaper grades I do not know, but as long as the people can be found to pay the price asked it will certainly not be sold for less

well as many other places, I saw an inn mense variety of bamboos. Japan is said to have 90 different species of this useful plant, 39 of which are indigenous and the rest imported from Corea, China and Formosa. Some of them grow to be to feet long and of corresponding size, while others are exceedingly small. The rapidity with which they grow-sometimes three or four feet in 24 nours-is almost unbelievable. But they must stand for several years before becoming strong and tough enough for general use They lna.-c a great addition to the beauty of ihe landscape, and are put to so many practical uses that it would be difficult u say what they arc not good for Pro

Contrary to general be- lief they are not delicate tropical plants, but thrive wonderfully well even in re- gions where the snowfall is measured by feet rather by inches. My next letter will be from Kyoto whither we are now ar rived.

Farmers, Dining Cluh
le Columbus Dispatch.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
 The central fact is that, if the drift from the country to the cities is to be stopped. there must be provided in the country some of the things that country folk go to the city for. The farmers of Wyandotte county, Kansas, seem to have understood this when they recently estab- lished a farmers dining club--a place where they may meet once a month and discuss, after a good dinner, the spues- tions in which they are in common inter- ested. The discussion is a good thing The getting together for that purpose after the manner so common in the city, is good. The social life of the community will be improved and there will be more rapid material progress for the com lnIA4tn IL VIII nOl ne strange IL farms are better tiled if farm help is better distributed, If markets yield better prices.

and that Is pretty large. He did not know how great favor he was bestow- ing on me- During the past summer have laced and unlaced my shoes more times than I can tell. If I weighed say 150 pounds, I could do 1t with ease, but
 seeing I have reached 190 and am still
 going on, I find stopping over incrnasing- ly unpleasant. If ever go back to Japan shall certainly wear atkipd of shoe that can be slipped off and on without much
 effort In the same connection I may say that the Japanese bow. in it's intrica- cies, is also beyond my capacities. I can bend half double twice with some ease, but at the third attempt I always fail; and as to the lower obesances, they are utterly beyond my powerA To watch two old fashioned Japanese gentleman going through the motions wien they are in dead ,earnest is better than show. They never miss a point, and nobody on earth can tell which one will get through first
 But to return to the doctor. When was once in and seated at his table he became studiously professional. I soon found out that he was graduate of Tokio university; that he spoke German very well and English little, and that he was up to his business His non-com- initial cautiousness amazed me. He ev- idently felt that it was not the proper thing for a professor of the healing art to be too categorical in replying to the questions of a mere layman like myself When I asked him: "Do you really think this Is true case of lacquer poisoning?'' he answered.: "It may possibly be so.', But all the same he laid hold Of me quite vigorously. applied soothing salve, and bound up the arm very deftly. After he had finished his work, once more ventured to raise an inquiry, saying: Doctor, what Is it that you have put on my nrm?" ''It is an upgent," said he Then I quit. After such explicit inforna- ton I had no mind to push my inquiries further. Still asked for my bill. My man will attend to that" responded the doctor. I was not aware at the time of what learned afterwards, that no Japan csc doctor will belittle himself by making out and presenting his own bills. That Is the work of underlings. Applying at the proper place, found that was in debt
