There was considerable difficulty
about getting milk then because, as
there was no demand for milk-the

NUNOBIKl WATERFALLS.
Bewitchins Night Scene at Popular
Japanese Resort.

A sight in the summer life Of Japan
not easily forgotten Is procured In a
night visit to the Nunobiki WATERFALL
inst outside Kobe ON the northeast.
There are two falls. the lower or fe-
male fall of forty-three feet and the
unper or male fall Of eighty feet, the
water gushing In each case out or the
hill above and falling down the gorge
TO whirling pool below. 1t Is reached
by an easy. winding climb up the cllHs
of the Million Firetlies' electric
bulbs in thousands among the trees
and the thousands and thousands or
gayly clad women and children visitors
shepherded by the more somber clad
men give the traveller two distinctly
delightful sensations before reaching
the Illuminated falls themselves.
The tiny lights come and go among
the trees in bewitching way. the
single light, says the Kobe Chronicle,
which illuminates the higher fall will
perhaps appeal to many rather than
the colored lights thrown on the lower
fall. and the lamp rays giving the foun-
tain the hues of the rainbow may be
regarded as artificial. Nevertheless the
general effect is attractive.
To any one who knows China 1t Is
impossible not to draw Il comparison
favorable to the japanese In viewing
the crowd Entrance to the gorge Is
perfectly free, yet thousands hocking
there every evening are neatly dressed
in summer garments, every one clean
and respectable, while the conduct Of
the great crowd is orderly and marked
by sense of quiet enjoyment. Such a
scene would be almost impossible in
China, and until the idea Of personal
cleanliness can be introduced among
the swarming millions Of that countr."

tinue to look down upon their neigh

The origin of the American caucus
dates back to Revolutionary days, being
traced to the Caucus club Of Boston.
This club was composed mainly of per.
sons engaged in shipbuilding. 1t was

and the Merchants club of the same
period used to meet before elections
and agree on candidates for town and
