Gen. Nogi's Habits.
From the Toxic Herald,

foiA tuo AokAo nefald
Gen. Nogi IL famous for the simplicity
OF his habits. and his personal appearance
is In no wise calculated to inspire awe
and respect IL he is attired In a dress OF
shabby description. as he generally is
when bound on pleasure trips. The gen.
eral repaired to Chuzen1i last year end
for q sojourn. and on New Year day paid
a visit to the imperial detached palace at
Atami, where the three young sons OF
the crown prince were sojourning.
After being entertained by the princes.
the general took his leave and set out
for Yugahara; trudging over the noun
famous paths he reached Yugahara IN
the gray OF the evening. When he ar
rived at the Hotel Amanoya-the best es-
tablishment in the place-he was much
fatigued. and the evening was unusually
cold. Unfortunately the hotel was full.
and the maid refused to admit him. The
general tried another reputa ble- looking
hotel. but was again peremptorily re-
fused. He tried q third, but with no
better result. He vainly tried all the re-
spectable-looking hotels Of the place un-
til he came to a small inn called Idzuya,
on the extreme border Of the place.
where he at last obtained the consent OF
the landlord to remain for the nieht.
The general was ushered into a small,
dirty. cobwebby room. in which he re-
tired to sleep without grumbIing.
In the meantime the imperial princes
at Chuzenji wished to convey a message
to the general and telephoned on the
same evening to the police station at
Yugahara to ascertain the lodging place
of the general The chief of police at
once made inquiries, but could not ind
out his whereabouts. He returned q mes
sage to the detached palace that Gen.
Nogi had not come to Yugahara, but was
again assured that the general was GER
tafnly there and was ordered TO search
once more. Policemen were again dis
patched In all directions in quest OF the
general. At last the chief OF the local
police was informed by one of his ennis
saries that an ugly old fellow had taken
up his quarters at an inn called Idzuya.
The chief knew at once from the descrip-
tion who the old man was. and repaired
I'm person to the hotel in uniform and
carrying q formidable Official lantern.
Arriving at the inn the chief of police
announced to the innkeeper iR terrifying
tones that he had come to wait upon his
excellency Gen. Count Nogi, president OF
the Mobiles School and member of the
supreme military council. The alarmed
landlord denied that there was such q
person in his hotel, but the chief insisted
on interviewing his excellency. and went
upstairs and made a domiciliary search.
when he found Count Nogi crouching In
the corner Of . dirty little room In the
murky shadow cast by q miserable paper
lantern.

Shortage in Linseed Oil.
Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News
The alarm of paint manufacturers at
the worlds shortage Of SO.0OO.000 gallons
af iinseed oil and the greater fear that
all seed fax would be exhausted has not
been lessened by reports from Canada
Although an enormous addition will be
made this year In the acreage under cul-
IIvation. owing to the influx of new set
.iers from the United States and Europe,
the acreage In fax will be limited by the
shortage OF seed. Even at prices OF $3
20 $3.75 q bushel. seed fax has not been
obtainable. Consequently thousands of
acres intended for fax will be seeded TO
wheat. This leaves the house paiut situa-
ton worse than before.
The normal crop of the United States
is about 2S00O.OcO bushels. but in 1900 II
was only 100000 bushels. and in 1910
=. was i0o00G0O. This caused importa-
..sns of mors .i,an 9.0fo.oeo bushels !ss:
