The Japanese Saloon.
From the Japan Magazine.

from tne Japan Mdgazlno
japanese saloons have the American
habit of always providing refreshments
other than drinks for their customers.
They are not partial to sandwiches;
usually it is a dish Of herrings or octo-
pus, and the price is sen. It is seldom
that a man can get away from a saloon
without spending at least 20 sen. which
is a large part of a poor mans daily
wage.
It is remarkable the world over that
men will patronize any establishment
that can show a pretty face, even though
it be no more than picture on cigar
box. To place the picture Of pretty
girl on anything Is the very best adver-
tisement So the Japanese think. too:
and what is more. they prove it At these
saloons, in the east end. there is always
a pretty girl assisting the matron of the
place; and she is permitted to wait on
customers. The japanese barmaid has
all the influence that her counterpart has
in the west. Her face Is sufficient to
thirsty; and when she proposes to serve
him he never refuses; and in the end he
foots the bill. The pretty maid can make
even the toughest customer feel for the
momen, that he is a gentleman and she a
fair lady come to do him honor. Who
could refuse to accept SO delicate favor
from such dainty hands, and under the
light of such winning smiles? But once
the wine is finished and the money is
paid. the relationship is at an end. An
other customer by this time is waiting;
and the last having had his turn of con-
versing with beauty. must be content
until thirsty again. Back he will likely
come next day. and drink another glass
to the health Of a fair face. and then be
of again satisfied for another day. And
SO it goes on from day to day. the pretty
custom.

Became Guide in Rockies.

In the summer of 1889, while still a
student at the university, he went to
Colorado. and after exploring some
places in the Rocky mountains that
were difficult OF access. he became q
guide to earn money to help pay his
expenses
Two years after this his father, while
member of Congress. obtained his
appointment as a botanist to accom-
pany a surveying party sent out by
the United States government to ex-
plore Death Valley. He spent seven
months in that desolate region, where
the bones of emigrants Of other days
were still bleaching in the fierce white
heat Of the sun. 1t was accounted
dangerous thing to do. He not only
did all the government expected Of
him. but he won praise by the scope
and thoroughness of his report
The second daring adventure Of Fun
ston was that which followed his ap-
pointment to visit Alaska. He penetrated
the frozen regions wherever his presence
was needed in the discharge of his COM
mission. On one occasion he took some
Indian guides and travelled 200 miles over
the snow and ice to the rescue Of a ship
that was icebound. He went as far up
the Yukon river as any man has gone
since, and he visited the places where
gold has since been found.

Protection for Soldiers.

Provided, that in the event Of reduc-
tons being made in the force in any OF
the executive departments no honorably
discharged soldier or sailor whose record
in said department is rated good shall
be discharged or dropped or reduced in
rank or salary.
The penalty for violation of the pro-
visions Of this section Is summary re-
moval from the service and also a fine
of not more than $1,000 or Imprisonment
for not more than a year.
This section was construed by the So
licitor of the Department Of Commerce
as meaning that the reduction of COM
pensation Of the class of employees which
it covered was prohibited. Because of
that opinion the Post Once Department
refrained from reducing the compensa-
ficiency was good. notwithstanding its
belief, in several Instances. that such re-
duction would be in the interest OF good
administration
Last year. however, the solicitor or the
Treasury took a different view Subse-
quently Attorney General McReynolds
rendered an opinion embodied in the fol-
lowing:
Assuming for the purposes OF your
question, that the proviso as to honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors Is
not dependent for its operation upon
the establishment of the system OF EN-
cfenoy ratings provided for IN the pre-
ceding part of the section, l am never
theless of the opinion that 1t has no
application to the situation referred to
in your letter. The proviso only under
takes to protect honorably discharged
soldiers or sailors whose departmental
record is good from being discharged
or dropped. or reduced in rank or sal
airy, fn the event of reductions being
made in the force in any of the execu-
tive departments.
1T says in substance. that any such
reduction in the force of a depart
ment shall not be at the expense Of any
honorably discharged soldier or sailor.
II his record in said department be
good. But 1t does not prohibit the head
of q department from conforming the
salary Of an honorobly discharged SOL
der or sailor to the grade or char
acter Of work he may be called upon
to perform"
