.lapaneae Is Hardest to learn.

The Japanese language is claimed
to be the hardest Of all to learn
Even the Japanese find 1t hard, and
several American army officers have
found it impossible to master 1t. 1t
takes the Japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts of the
alphabet, and one must become ia
miliar with 214 signs to learn this
simple part of the language alone.
The 214 signs serve as the English
initial letters in our alphabet To
be able to read any Of the higher
class of Japanese newspapers one
must be the master Of from $500 to
1000 ideographs.-Albany Journal.

Became Household Word.

An old doctor was operated on in q
hospital in Berlin. On leaving he
was sympathized with and pitied by
all his old friends who met him, for
his hair had suddenly turned white
as snow. The truth of the matter
was that Foxy Grandpa had no
chance to dye his hair in the hos
pital. So when he got out he made
the most of the matter with the first
person he met. and became so fa-
nous that he was appointed one of
the kings physicians and died rich.
and his name, like the prisoner of
Chillon, became a household word

CLINCHED THE CASE
SAILOR PROVED POSSESSION OF
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Disconnected Opposing Lawyer at the
Very Moment He Thought He
Was Assured Of Complete
Victory.

"The master Of vessel In a port in
the Gulf of Mexico being in need of
money borrowed 1t and to secure its
repayment executed what is called a
bottomry bond" writes a correspon-
dent of the National Magazine. by
this bond 1t was agreed that If the
money was not paid within so many
days after the vessel arrived at New
York proceedings might be taken to
have the vessel sold and the debt paid
out of the proceeds.
"The money was not paid and l was
retained to enforce the bond and be-
gan suit. Someone interested in the
vessel appeared in the suit and denied
that the bond had been executed by
the master, as had been alleged.
''It became necessary to take the
testimony on this point of sailor
whose name was subscribed to the
bond as having witnessed its execu-
ton. In answer to my questions the
sailor said that the captain called him
into the vessels cabin and asked him
to be a witness to the bond, and he
signed his name to 1t as a witness,
and he spoke Of the paper as the bot
tomry bond.
"The opposing counsel in a sharp
cross-examination asked him how he
knew it was bottomry bond, and the
witness answered that he read enough
Of it to know what 1t was. Some 9TH
er skilful questions brought out the
fact that when the sailor came into
the cabin the captain was sitting on
the other side of table with the pa
per before him and the sailor sat down
at the side of the table facing the
captain, SO that the paper was be-
tween them; that the paper was not
read to him, that the captain turned
over the first leaf Of the paper and
signed his name at the end of It and
told the sailor where to sign his name,
which he did, and then left the cabin.
"My heart sank, for l saw that it
was open to the other side to say
that the document lay on the table up
side down to the sailor, and that his
statement that he read enough of the
document to know it was a bottomry
bond was false, because, of course, he
could not read writing which was up
side down, and, therefore, his whole
evidence should be disbelieved.
'The lawyer opposed to me saw the
point also, but instead of leaving the
matter where it was he concluded to
clinch 1t, and, taking the document, he
laid 1t down on the table before the
witness upside down and said to him,
Let us see, you read the paper now
ITO my great surprise and relief the
witness read the writing, upside down
as 1t was, with nearly as much fluency
as If 1t had been right side up.
That ended the contest over the
execution of the bond. This sailors
ability to read writing when it was up
side down was curious instance of
the many curious things which sailors
do to occupy their time during idle
watches on long voyages"

HALL GAME ON KING EDWARD.


Author Tells story of Dead Nom
Arch's visit 10 Isle of Man.
During a visit to the Isle Of Man,
where / first had the honor to come
to close quarters with him, he took
obvious pleasure In the freedom with
which the people who surrounded ms
person spoke to him, Hall Caine says
in the New York Herald.
remembered that one Of our COM
pany said, pointing to the little gray
town of Rumsey, which In few hours
had become transhgured into an ori-
entail city, under the blaze OF every
available scrap Of bunting.
This beats coronation day in Lon
don, your majesty"
The King smiled and gracefully al
lowed himself to agree.
There were no police with him that
day, no detectives and hardly any es-
cort-only a gentleman in light bowler,
two ladies in sailor hats, with few
carriages full of friends behind them
and number of bicycle journalists
scudding at their side. 1t was charm
ing picture-a picture probably with
out parallel in any foreign country.
1t was the picture Of sovereign who
felt absolutely safe in the love and
protection of the people over whom he
ruled.
81 trust we have not tired you to
death, sir" l said.
He answered.:
ut has been simply delightful. I've
enjoyed 1t all immensely"
The Kings memory was an extra
ordinary gift. Pointing to monu-
ment on top of a hill, one of our party
said:
THAT is Albert Hill, sir. The tower
is Albert Tower, 30 called after
picture of the prince consort's visit to
Rumsey in 1847"
IL remember perfectly" said the
King. II was on the yacht with the
Queen, but / was only years OF age
and the Queen was Ill, so did not
come ashore"
Perhaps you remember, sir, what
happened when the prince consort land
ed"
II do He had come Unexpectedly.
There was nobody to receive him and
a local barber took him to the top Of
the hill" A memory that retains an
incident of such little moment can
never have failed Edward VII. in re-
lation to greater events OF his life.

Fills Up Panama Excavation.

Excavation of the Panama cana.
through the Culebra range of hills has
set in motion mass of 2,00O,000 GU
bic yards of material, which is Sliding
into the excavation apparently on an
inclined substratum of clay. The fact
is said to illustrate one of the many
advantages of the present high-level
canal over one at sea level. The sea-
level cut would have been carried so
feet deeper and the slides would have
been. in all probability, enormously
greater. The material will have to be
removed; but outside Of the additional
expense no i'll effects are apprehended.

Clothes for the Boy.

An occasional suit in heavy pongee

this, too. is self-trimmed and finished
with the strictest tailor effects. as a
first-class outing shirt for a man
would be. The waist which older boys
are best pleased with has center box
plat and one or more pockets. A
heavy leather belt. with large buckle
and a soft tie, often Windsor. are

suits. Low, rolling collars are provi.

high turnover form is preferred for
the older boy.-Harper's Bazaar.

DENIED A DIVORCE
Valentine Winters Is Refused
a Decree by the Idaho
Court.
HAD NO LEGAL RESIDENCE

Valentine Winters, one of the Off

Traction company and we'll known in
this city by reason of several trac-

and the city, has been denied di-
vorce in Idaho courts. A Boise, Idaho,
dispatch this morning is as follows:
Consideration was thrown into the
Idaho colony of divorce seekers today

Wood in the case of Valentine Whit

who sought divorce from Helen
Clegg Winters.
Judge Wood denied the decree on
the grounds that the plaintiff did not
legally establish a residence in Idaho,
but came for the purpose of invoking
the aid of the courts in securing a
divorce.
Judge Wood not only denies the de-
cree because of the nonresidence of
the plaintiff, but finds that the pre-
ponderance of evidence is in favor of
the defendant, who, the court says.

satisfactory.
A Nuisance Reported.
Dirt has been piled at one end of a
switch on the c., c. & l., near the
North c street crossing, to be used as
bumper. The dirt and oil runs up
on the sidewalk, making it very disa-
greeable for pede 'trians. The police
department was notified to take action.
The ordinances, providing for the
city paying it's share of the Fairview
sewer assessment of S5.173.42 which
came up on third reading, was passed
unanimously.
Back to the committee on ordinances
went the ordinance providing for some
distinctive garb for inspectors and 9th
er employees of corporations. who are in
the habit of entering private homes.
1t came to the councils attention that
badge. to distinguish inspectors from
imposters, was insufficient, because a
badge might easily be duplicated. Man
ager Perkins of the Light Heat and
Power company, suggested uniforms
and the ordinance will be SO amended
1t was suggested that the inspectors
wear baseball uniforms with the mi
tials of the corporation for which they
are working, neatly woven on the shirt
fronts.
