ner Of Living.

A native Tokyo paper has published
a 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
a foreign bedstead. while the present
monarch prefers to lie on japanese
quilts. There is now q 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 Taishe
emperor takes more kindly to west
ern diet. His breakfast consists o,
bread. milk and coffee; as a rule the
luncheon also is usually Yoshoku. but
the dinner pure Japanese.
His taste in food is that OF con
noisseur. The emperor fancies the
salmon trout Of Lake Chuzenji. Dur

Fireproof Clothes,

DR.. William H. Perkin, the English
chemist, has found method of max.
ing cotton cloth absolutely fireproof,
SO that it will not burn even when held
in gas-iame. One fireproof garment
was unframed by twenty washings,
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week.
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
fireproof cloth costs about a penny q
yard more than untreated cloth.
Not only will this fireproofed mate.
rial be found suitable for the manu-
facture Of clothes for firemen, but 1t
may also be used by women for the
finest party dresses, the most deli
cately -colored fabrics being unharmed
by the process and even given q softer
appearance. For childrens clothes it
should be particularly desirable, since
1t is likely to prevent many accidents.
