POLITE JAPANESE POLICE.
A Rsbuke TO Touri5ts-Originally
Most AriStoCratic Body.

The Japanese police, one of whose
chiefs has been studying English meth
DDS at Scotland yard with a view of i'm
provements in his own force was orig
inaliy the most aristocratic body of the
Kind in the world.
Its establishment was almost coinci-
dent with the Emperor's decree forbid
ding the wearing of swords. BY a
stroke of the imperial pen the Samurai
We're deprived Of cherished weapons by
which the gentleman of Japan had been
accustomed from immemorial times to ad
vertise their rank. So they went into
the police, where it was still possible to
carry sword, and a very formidable
weapon it was, being of the two-handeo
variety.
Perhaps the police twenty years ago
were rather too TouG 0f chonnng Il prs
oner in half instead of arresting him, but
they were very expert, and there was
seldom any evidence To contradict their
own version of the incident.
To people of their own rank and to
foreigners they are polite in a degree
which would have seemed ludicrous any
where except in the land of honOrihcs.
The writer remembers an incident which
illustrates this train well enough. 1t
was at Osaka during water festival,
and the bridges were kept cleal of pas
Sengers much in the same way as our
own on DOaC race Jay. "a EOpt at elliitI
end guarded by policeman. was sufli-
cient for the purpose.
With the contempt for authority
which distinguishes the Englshman
abroad, two or three tourists stood on
the wrong side Of the rope out of the
crowd. so as to get better view, but
the policeman was equal to the occasion.
With apologize, bows he united one enf
of the rope and then fastened it again
in front of the foreigners, and they had
the good sense to accept the rebuke.-

Plant Watering Scheme.

Persons engaged in rearing household
plants are often IN a quandary when it
is desired to leave the house temporarily
without neglecting the plants. An ar
rangemeut can be readily rugged up so
that the necessary water Will be supplied
To the soil automatically. Take bowl
of water, raise it well above the level
of the plant to be watered by means of
book or pile of books. TWIST several
strands of common darning wool to-
Gether to form long thread and soak
them in the water If one end be hung
over the bowl and the other end left in
the water, a steady drip, drip will begin,
and continue until the bowl Is empty

RUSSIAN HEARTLESSNESS.
Commission Disguised with Poorhouse
and Asylum at St. Petersburg.

An influential commission has inspected
the Obouchoff hospital. one of the biggest
municipal hospitals in st. Petersburg,and
has discovered an astounding state OF
affairs. The worst conditions prevailed
in the wards for inebriates. The mems
ward was so overcrowded that some of
the patients mad to lie in the corridor.
The women's ward was i'll the basement,
and the atmospheric conditions were
sitting. There was no ventilation. The
hospital kitchen adjoined the mortuary
chamber. and the larder was i'll the bath
room. The clothes and soiled linen Of
the poorest classes of the population lay
all over the floor, and the entire place
was verminous. About 500 inmates were
lodged in wooden sheds hastily put to-
gether-the councillors described them as
mere stables; and many tuberculous pa
tients were being treated in these insa-
luxurious jerry-built barracks. The sights
they witnessed during their four hours
visit so affected the municipal councillors
that they did not complete the inspection.
