RESERVED FOR THE EMPEROR
Fish of Remarkable Delicacy Had
Place Only on the Tables of
the Highest.

Now that China is republic it
would be interesting to know what
has become of the sacred fish which
in the days of the empire could be
eaten only by the emperor Of China
and his folk and the emperor of Rus
sia and his folk.
This fish Is an exquisite delicacy
so delicious and rare that 1t has been
reserved for royal palates from time
immemorial. The fishermen whose
duty it was to take it from the onS
stream in which it has been known to
exist-a small river lying between
Russian and Chinese domains-have
had orders to let none of it be di-
verted from it's noble destiny. Wheth-
er the fishermen themselves ever
yielded to what one can imagine as
an overmastering passion and in
dulged in a secret midnight repast of
the glorious little fish of course none
can say. But certain 1t Is that the or
dinary Chinaman would have turned
shudderingly away from banquet in
which the prohibited fish was an item,
no matter how his mouth watered for
the dainty.
One of the things which makes the
fish such rarity is that 1t breeds only
one at a time, a very extraordinary
condition among fishes.
The Chinese-the mobiles, at least
have been a nation of epicures, and
there are no greater delicacies to be
found anywhere than those which ap.
peared on the tables of the emperor
and his courtiers.

Barber shops in China.

Since the Chinese revolution a great
many Chinese have had their cues cut
of, and this has led to the opening Of
a large number Of barber shops
throughout the far east wherever Chi
nese are located, says an exchange.
Several progressive business men Of
Singapore, anticipating this, imported
a large number of American barber
chairs, and they are now unable to
get supplies quickly enough. 1t has
also been learned that the Chinese in
sist on having American hair clippers,
and refuse all other makes offered
them.
1t would seem that American manu-
facturers of BARRIERS supplies should
experience large increase in their
Oriental trade.

SHAKE TO BE RESTORED
British War ONCE ReVIVss Historic
Old Headdress In the
Service.

The war ONCE has at last definitely
decided to adopt the shake for the full
dress headgear of infantry of the line
in place of the heavy and clumsy he'll
met.
The pattern to be adopted differs
slightly from that worn for so many
years BY our infantry and will be
much lower In the crown, approximate
ing more to the kept of the French
infantry.
The new headdress is extremely
light to wear and will be of uniform
pattern throughout the service. It
will be worn only by the infantry and
the royal artillery. The royal engi-
neers, the army service corps, the roy
al army medical corps and other
branches of the service will continue
to wear the helmet until the new pat
tern can be provided for them.
The white helmet is also to be re-
tanned for the Indian service, and for
the present the khaki helmet for the
colonial service is not to be discarded.
Some new shakos are already man.
ufactured, and 1t is proposed to send
soldier wearing one of them to
Buckingham palace in order that 1t
may be examined by the king, who
will have the opportunity Of compar-
ing 1t with the present pattern he'll
met.
Large numbers of the new shake are
to be manufactured Immediately, and
It is hoped that the whole of the in.
fantry at home may be equipped with
them not later than the end of next
year.
1t will not be necessary to apply to
parliament for supplementary esti
mate for the issue of the shake, since
the war Office has funds in hand out
of which the cost can be met.
No decision has been arrived at yet
as to the troops which shall first re
ceive the new headdress, but begin
ming will probably be made with those
at Aldershot, and not in Ireland, as
has been announced.
1t is proposed that only the roya
regiments shall wear plume with the
shake, though of course the plume'
worn by the Scottish regiments tha
now have this head dress will not b'
interfered with.-Pall Mall Gazette.
