ROYAL ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN.
A Member Of the imperial Family Can
Die Only In Tokyo.


Surely there never was more grim
journey made than that OF the dow
ager empress of Japan when she came
for the last time to Tokyo.
She had died In her palace in the
country. But the japanese hold that
a member Of the imperial family can
die nowhere except in Tokyo. There
fore the dead empress, theoretically
still alive, Journeyed from her country
place to the palace in Tokyo with all
the ceremonial that attended her move
ments when living.
She travelled in the royal railway car
and was driven through the streets to
the palace in court carriage with
the blinds closely drawn. The minis
tiers and high state officials who greet
ed her on her past arrivals in the CAPT.
tai were at the station as usual and
showed in no way that on this occa-
sion they were meeting the corpse of
the empress.
Troops lined the streets and present
ed arms as she passed. Only the great
crowds in the streets, standing in 81
lence instead Of loudly cheering, be-
trayed the fact that the imperial car
rage contained dead woman.-New
York Sun.

informing him that he had won home

position was not sustained and the
evidence held insufficient to establish

The two-acrc field was planted with

had worked years in doing il. The

seed said to- he purc-bred. which had

The Cost of Vermin.

Many popular beliefs on medical
subjects seem to be based on instinct
without any facts to justify them. yet
increasing knowledge in new fields
frequently justifies opinions which
have been held for centuries. Rats,
mice. flies, mosquitoes and the va
rious forms OF body parasites have
always been held in contempt and dis
gust and always and everywhere
have been regarded as vermin. Grow
ing knowledge 90 the important role
played by these lower forms OF animal
life In the transmission OF disease is
ample justification for this feeling.
The attention which has been called to
parasites and scavengers OF the hu-
man race has resulted i'm demon
strating another reason why mankind
has always abhorred them. They are
an exceedingly expensive luxury. The
Journal OF the American Medical AS
sociation comments on a recent article
In the Farm and Fireside, which dis
cusses the amount of damage done
In this country by rats, and estimates
that there are in the United States at
least 500. 100000 OF these animals,
alike destructive to property and dan
gerous to health. Rats arc said to
destroy n hundred million dollars
worth of grain every year i'm this
country. or enough to feed one hen
Tor every man. woman and child in
nc nation. The annual cost OF rats
to the nation is estimated at $780,
100000. In addition. the rat popula-
ION OF the country forms n fertile
dsld for the dissemination of bu-
ionic plague. which only needs
etarting point In any of our seaports
io spread throughout the country and
causc the loss OF thousands of lives.
La tho same issue OF the Farm and
fireside. but In n different depart
ment. appears an article on tho cat
tie tick, IN which II Is estimated that
the difference between the market
value OF an animal free from this
parasite and one infected with II is
about IS per COW. and that the cattle
tick is today costing the stockmen OF
the country a billion dollars each de-
cade. or a hundred million dollars
each year. The discovery and de-
veiopment OF bacteriology showed
that man had been carrying on for
centuries an unconscious struggle
with the lower forms of vegetable
life. Recent adltions to our knowl-
edge OF the habits and characteristics
OF vermin show that an equally re-
lentless struggle has been going on be-
tween man and the lower forms Of
animal life.
