SATxI, JAPAN'S NATIONAL DRINK

From the Washington Post.
 Many believe that tea is the great national drink of the Japanese. This impression is not sustained by the facts, as those who have spent any time in Japan well know said George R. Cuthbert of New York. at the New Will lard. MT. Cuthbert is returning from a business trip through the orient, and after an absence of several months, is hastening on to what he believes to be the only city on earth, little old New York. 4,.z=
 Tea is drunk widely in the homes of the people of Japan" continued MT. Cuthbert, but tea is by no means a national beverage, as we, here in the states, have been led to believe. Cot- fee in that island, until quite recently, was unknown. It's introduction is due to American travellers and tourists It now can be had in all the good hotels where the fact early was appreciated that If the comfort and contentment of travellers from the Occident were to be considered coffee must be served. Even at that, however, the coffee is not all ways SOou, ana to expect IL OulSlue Ol the patronized hotels, where foreigners gather would mean a disappointment.
 "Saki is the great national drink of the Japanese. This is the distilled prod uct of one of the native plants, and it forms a pretty stiff drink for those un- accustomed to 1t. Saki is served in all the tearooms, and not in barrooms, where distilled liquors in this country usually are obtained.
 within the past decade the Japanese have been introduced to beer, and q considerable amount of that beverage is consumed annually. The Japanese, how ever, have not yet learned the art of brewing beer. as we understand it; but with their wonderful capacity to imi- tate whatever their alien cousins do, doubtless Japanese brewers soon will be having the cream of that trade in the Orient. An unprejudiced observer will admit there is about as much drunkenness in Japan as in any other country. This is particularly true in the large cities. Not much whisky is consumed in Japan. although gradually that spirit is making Fits way into the public drinking places of the mikado' S kiugdom

 AS rampant as of yore; He strives with all his might and main 'Gainst rival teams to score, And often suffers grievous pain,
 With back and limbs quite sore. He roots the earth with reckless nose And slxids upon his ear, Or like the swftest wind he goes,
 While all tie people cheer Though necks are broke and blood still
 flows,
 He shows no trace of fear. Methnks he's not a pretty sight,
 Begrimed and stained with mire; His hair stands up, but not with fright, He pants and doth perspire. Not knowing him, we'd fain take flight And from his glance retire. But such applause as he doth get, In truth. might turn his head; The ladies fair do frown and fret If he be luckless sped, But their sweet smiles are sweetest vet. On him victor shed.

TALKING COUNTY COURT HOUSE.

st.Friday the journal was favor
ed by a visit from a delegation of
prominent citizens Of White Sulphur
Springs. who were making a tour Of

were using their persuasive powers

OF this month and vote to bond the

purpose Of building II magnificent
stone or brick building at White Sui

visitors were +. u. ConWell, an at
torney al law: George Fow!ie. regist-
er and recorder: +. s. Webster and
Robert Zehn,ner, county commits
sloners: Charles Cook, an old time
rancher OF the Smith River valley.
The Journal heartily agrees with the
gentlemen from White Sulphur that
new court house is needed, but dis
agrees with them as to the amount
necessary to build and equip same.
and also that it ought to be built at
the out.of-the-way place of White
Sulphur Springs. The main object in
asking for such large amount of
indebtedness is to put up a building
80 magnificent as to forever stop d.
vision talk and to fix the county seat
at It's present location for all time to
come. Nobody blames them for be-
ing SO enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton. Every body in Judith Gap
would be just rs enthusiastic and elO-
quent ii this town wanted the court
house.
The property owners in this end Of
the county ale going to the polls on
the 24th and register their votes
against bonds. They are going to do
this FOR the reason that they are not
financially able to assume this addi-
tional burden of taxation at the pre-
sent time, being heavily involved in
paying for and maintaining school
houses in their local communities.
For the reason that tn ~ Go not be-
lieve White sulphur Springs is the
town for their future county seat,
and that when division comes, which
will not he long, they will be entirely
relieved OF their share of the indebt-
edness for the new building. The
Journal has talked with many TAN
payers here and they are all OF the
opinion that the talk OF taking over
the Indebtedness by the old county is
purely buncO. and they are not going
to take any chances.

nation of value that might otherwise
