In Old Japan.

From the Christian Herald.
The shops and booths of Japan are Of

blazes in brilliance and the lantern
maker sQuats at his multi-coiored task
At the next entrance we perhaps see a
man severing chicken meat from the bone
and he performs the opera ton as skill
fully as the surgeon with his dissecting
knife Beef and chicken are commonly
sold in this fashion. Two or three PAGES
farther on one is confronted with q typi-
cal Japanese shoe store. All the foot
wear OF the little brown man is here on
view The geta wooden clogs and straw
sandals are indeed a fanciful exhibition
They line the benches. the floors, the
shelves. They hang from above and
seemingly are everywhere, allowing the
seller just about enough room to squat
on his mat The newcomer Is at once
startled at the immense quantity of this
simple footwear and the many places
where 1t is sold: but he soon finds So
luton to his query when he hears that
a Japanese man annually makes away
with from eight to ten pairs.
But curious things are not found in
the shops alone. The green vegetable
peddler at once arouSes attention He
carries loads heavy enough for a horse.
but with quick step he will walk from
street TO street. still with enough energy
TO call his wares as he goes One lnarvels
at those wonderful, big, snow-white rad
ishes he sells: green onions, carrots.
fruits and even lotus roots dug from the
muddy bottoms of ponds. Fancy your
self eating long burdock roots which
grow in any country backyard! The jap
anese consider these toothsome article
and the peddler fetches them from the
farmers who raise them like tuTnfpe.

Training Bashful Orators.
I'm the St. Louis Republi


A unique club. known as the Public
Speaking Club Of Great Britain. has been
experimenting here with some extraor-
binary methods of training nervous and
bashful men in the gentle art OF speech
making. A characteristic feature of the
instruction is the quaint conceit OF
speeches in the dark. AS soon as a bash
full man mounts the platform all the
lights are turned off. and under the cover
OF the friendly darkness the speaker
gradually loses his sslf-consciousness. AS
he regains his Composure the lights are
gradually turned up. but when he begins
to stutter and stumble down they &c
again till he begins to talk common sense
After two or three months steady prac-
tice. however. members are generally able
to talk With the lights steadily UP, and
then they are ready for the eXacting
listeners OF the bristling arena Of British
politics or for the more patient arbiters
of the bar.
But the new club isn't confined in mem
bership to politicians and lawyers. Cler-
gymen. teachers. business men. univeret J
professor. and professional lecturers are
all numbered in its membership, with a
liberal sprnkling Of men about town
These latter are many Of them retired
army and navy officers, others are re-
cruited from the gi!ded ranks OF club
land where the after-dinner bore reigns
supreme.
For the relief OF a long -s,iffer1ng public
some very curious methods are used 10
discourage this variety OF public do
quence. A man rises to make q speech
with something definite to say and a lin
tied time in which to say It. The audi
ence OF fellow members listens patiently.
till presently he begins to ra,nble. Grad
ually hands steal UP in protest, and when
sufficient number are displayed a stern
warden rings a huge gong over the speak
er's head. Clang! Tie victim starts as
II shot, and IS obliged to begin all over
again, and generally travels a straight r
and narrower path TO the end Of his sub
iecf.
