HAS MANY WESTERN TASTES
Emperor of Japan Is by No Means
Altogether Eastern in His Man.
ner of Living.

A native Tokyo paper has published
series of articles about the home
life at the imperial palace. The late
Meiji emperor, it seems, was devoted
to native dishes, but his majesty
Yoshihito, reared on more modern
lines, has broader tastes in food. On
the other hand, the late emperor used
foreign bedstead, while the present
monarch prefers to lie on Japanese
quilts. There is now billiard room,
an imperial bathtub, and electric light
ing.
While the Meiji emperor preferred
Japanese cooking, particularly of the
Kyoto style, which uses more salt
than the Tokyo cookery, the Taisho
emperor takes more kindly to west
ern diet. His breakfast consists OF
bread, milk and coffee; as rule the
luncheon also is usually Yoshoku, but
the dinner pure Japanese.
His taste in food is that of a con-
noisseur. The emperor fancies the
salmon trout Of Lake Chuzenji. Dur
ing a summer sojourn at Nikko one
year, the cook tried a substitute, but
at the first morsel it was detected.
For reasons of health he does not take
any sake, but little sherry or other
wine occasionally.
His majesty wears the uniform Of
a general, even in private, till after
the evening ablution. when he wears
a crested kimono.

Why the Safe Was Opened.
That day was an active one in the
q0estara, or police Office, of Leghorn.
Detectives called, examined the safe,
and sagely declared it to be burglar
proof, had not the thieves possessed
the key.
Probably while / sat at dinner on
board the Lola my keys had been
stolen and passed on to the SCARED
Scotsman, who had promptly gone
ashore and ransacked the place while

deep black, passing the barrier and
entering the train which left at three
o'clock for Cole Salvetti to join the
Rome express. They were foreigners,
therefore he did not take the same
notice of them as though they had
been Italians.
The description OF the Lola, its own
or. his guest, and IL e captain were cir
culated by the poll .e to all the Medi-
terranean ports, with a request that
the yacht should be detained. Yet if
the vessel were really one of mystery.

GET RID OF DELICATE HORSE

(By J. NJ. BELLY

farmer is not a veterinarian in any
sense; therefore, when he is unfortu-

does not know what to do, and if this

ranges anywhere from $50 to 500, the

horse in question is very apt to die.
