Riding In a Jinrikisha.

When the European or American
tourist first lands in japan he at once
demands a jinrikisha. Having read Of
it and heard so much of it he wants
an immediate experience Of it as soon
as he finds himself in the land Of its
birth. Almost any day N may see a
procession Of men and women. ashore
for a day or two from a steamer In
port, making their way up the crowded
thoroughfares Of Tokyo. sitting rather
awkwardly in their jinrikishas, trem-
bling unbalanced over the axle, not
knowing whether the thing is going to
tip backward or fall forward, so loose
ly does the puller seem to hold the
shafts. The first time one gets into a
jinrikisha he always feels like a baby,
and this gawkish sensation coupled
with that Of the uncertainty of ones
position In balancing it, renders the ex-
perience not quite SO pleasant as an
ticipated. But the only way for COM
fort Is to sit back at ones ease and
leave the responsibility to the man who
pulls it.-Japan Magazine.

cinnati Nationals says he Is through
umpire batting. The Reds pilot recent
ly had a fist fight with Umpire Rigier
In st. Louis and was set down for i've
days by President Tener. In talking
about the affair recently Herzog said:
81 had made up my mind when the
season started out not to be put out OF
a game this year. The recent incident
was quite out Of the ordinary and was
due to Umpire Hart not seeing the
play, which should have been decided
by him. / was justified In questioning

AN ARMY N A MOB.
It's Discipline That Marks the Differ.
erence Between Them.

An army Is not an army, but a mob.
unless every item In II can be trusted
TO do the same thing at the same mo.
ment at the word OF command. So
obedience Is not a virtue In a soldier.
but a necessity. for. unless he learns
II. he cannot attain to the military vir-
tues. 1t has been proved, for instance.
again and again that obedience is the
way to courage.
When II is a habit with men they
face danger as they form fours be-
cause they are told 20, and the habit
of obedience Is stronger In them than
their natural fears. II is. In fact. part
of a soldiers technique, and unless he
has learned II he Is an amateur liable
to stage fright.
There may, OF course. be an irration-
al discipline which destroys n soldiers
intelligence. as irrational technique de-
stroys intelligence In any craft. But
the fact remains that soldiers have TO
learn obedience by means OF n training
specially designed TO teach them obedi.
ence. just as a musician has to prac-
tice scales. When he has learned IL
he can exercise his intelligence far bet
ter than IL he had not learned II be-
cause he Is Drawer and cooler for hay-
ing learned it.-London Times.

Hardest TO Catch Speaker.

Iris Speaker, the Boston Americans
star outfielder, is the hardest player In
the American league for me to pitch
to- confesses Bill Steen Of Cleveland.
"He can hit anything l throw up to
him. l simply can't fool him. I've tried
everything In my pitching repertoire
with Speaker up, but 1t has availed me
nothing.
"He refuses to hit at balls inside, and
when he gets one outside he slams 1t
down the foul line at a mile a minute
clip.
Its easier for me to pitch to Baker
and Collins than any of the other IA
nous swatters.
Crawford and Cobb are hard to fool.
Both show their greatest weakness In
going after slow balls"

DEGREES OF COOKING.
What 10 Meant by Rare. Medium and
We'll Done Meat.

Perhaps a word may be said about
the degree Of cooking, as indicated by
the words rare, medium and well done,
used In reference to the cooking OF
meat.
Some people interpret rare as mean
ing meat scared a little on the outside.
but with the whole interior raw. This
Is far from a correct Interpretation.
The albumen should be coagulated. the
fibers really cooked. but the juice may
be yet red or pink. In medium there
Is still some pink left in the meat.
though the red color has left the Juice.
while well done means no pink color
In either juice or fiber. but not the
stringy, overlooked, tasteless product
so often served as "well done meat.
The quantity and kind OF meat used
by any family depend upon its living
habits. its appreciation of food values
and the money available for food. The
excessive use Of meat means an UNI
wise expenditure Of money as well as
an unnecessary tax upon the kidneys
and liver, but In any case the prepare
ton Of 1t Is a most important factor

1t was a solemn. impressive sight
the stalwart. rugged. copper colored

The Chicago Worlds fair, however,
shattered the serenity Of their calcula-

that the w~esterners, too, should be
thrilled with patriotism was success
fully exploited, and the bell went to
Chicago. When it was piously and

which the bell passed.
Trip to Charleston.
The trip to Charleston was more pre-
tentious and, according to persons who
made it. Of greater effect in stirring
the feelings of the people.
On the Charleston trip the bell left
Philadelphia early in January, 1902,
and went via Harrisburg, Chambers
burg, Roanoke. Va; Johnson City,
Tenn; Asheville. N. c.; Savannah, Ca,
to Charleston. 1t returned via Rich
mond and Washington.
The trip to st. Louis said a man
who went with it. "is the greatest that
the bell has ever taken. 1t included
not only the direct journey to the ex-
position, but also a winding route
through Minnesota, Wisconsin and ILL
nois. The bell took in all the larger
cities of the west, and the enthusiasm
at every point was indescribable. At
Minneapolis there were 100000 people
at the station. Nearly the entire city
was there.
1T was the same at st. Paul. The
station was black and seething with
the throng. and the arrival Of the bell
in st. Louis was the signal for every
locomotive in the entire yards and ev-
cry factory in the city to screech forth
a welcome.
indianapolis Royal Welcome.
ION our way home at indianapolis
there was a most wonderful demon
stration. The streets were Illuminated
with scores of additional lights. and it
was touching to see how carefully the
bell was handled so hat it should not
be harmed.
ION the Boston trip the most nota-
BILE enthusiasm was at Providence.
We stopped there for only forty-five
minutes. and yet the entire community
zane to the station. The crowd was
solid as far as you could see. and at
Elizabeth there were so many people

break. In Boston the bell was escort

tary organizations and fraternal or
ders which will follow the bell to its
exposition home. During its stay at
the exposition the bell will be viewed
by the present and rising generations,
and a conservative estimate is that
fully 100000 youngsters will look
upon it in awe during its stay.
The Pennsylvania building at the
Panama-Pacifc International exposi-

pendence hall, where the bell first peal

will be placed In a monster vault at
night and guarded by a special de-
tachment Of exposition guards, who
will see to it that no harm befalls the
most revered historical relic Of the ma

Well Received on Other Trips.
The testimony of men who accompa-
MED the Liberty bell on its former trips
gives peculiar significance to its trip
on July 8. In the several trips that
the relic has made since 1884 it has
been of immense educational value and
has resulted in ~'ediication and inspi-
ration" Millions of people have seen

Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg of Phila-
