Japanese Dinners.

In the matter Of eating it is agreed
that the Japanese cuisine is not Of the
richest in punitive quality. 1t is not
inexpensive; japanese dinners are elab-
crate in preparation. artistic in pre-
sentation, but for satisfying the inner
man are far inferior to European or
even Chinese cooking. The chief char
acteristic of purely Japanese dinner
is to please the eye, not the palate or
stomach. 1t is a national joke that one
must eat a meal before going to or
after returning from japanese din
ner.
Oh, how much labor and expense are
lavished on gochiso ENTERTAINMENT
to make it nice to look at! This is all
sheer waste and luxury and is to be
condemned. Providence has kindly put
In the power Of every japanese te live
In the most Economical manner, so the
japanese dinner is a blasphemous
abuse Of providential benefcence. 1t Is
an anachronistic relic Of feudalism,
reminiscent Of the morbid tastes OF
idle, luxurious overlords! A monstrous
fact is that these customs are not go
Ing out of fashion.-Saito Man in Japan

A Sincere Compliment.

I remember as boy hearing the late
Rev. Sam P. Jones tell my father of
what he considered to be the most sin
cere compliment he ever received, says
writer In the Dallas Pitchfork. II
was holding meeting In the city of
Louisville" Rev. Sam Jones related,
"and spending the nights with an old
Methodist colonel who owned a fine
country home. During my first eve
ming at the colonel's home the old COL
ored yard man was instructed to bring
out one Of the coionel's finest saddle
horses for my review. The aged negro
did as he was instructed and led before
me a magnificent animal. The horse
was deep bay stallion. and he walked
with high. staggering steps. l said to
the old negro, What makes him step
SO proudlyr And he answered without
hesitation: Dat boss has got sense,
Brudder Jones. He knows who's look
in at Inn"
y Sam Jones said that was the sim
cerest compliment he ever received.

Toll of the Garbage Can.

We hear a great deal of complain
ing, far and near, about the high cost
of living.
1t has been statistically estimated
that if only one slice of bread was
wasted by one family every day the
aggregate weight Of this wasted bread
would equal 625.OOO pounds and would
cost approximately $4,000.
Just think of that! Forty-f1ve thou
sand dollars worth Of bread alone vast
ed in one day. And that does not in
clude the other odds and ends that are
daily dumped into the garbage pail.
No woman with an iOta Of intelli-
gence and speck of moral conscience
will waste unnecessarily food Of any
kind.
No matter what her circumstances
may be, whether rich or poor, she has
absolutely no right to do so.-New

Much Food In Small Bulk.

The British soldier when fresh bread
is not available is supplied with what
he calls dog biscuit" 1t looks like
just that, being a thick cracker four
inches square and weighing three
ounces. OF whole wheat flour pressed
solid, it might be described as a con
densed loaf Of bread.
The French have war bread"
somewhat similar, which when put
into hot water or soup swells up like a
sponge.
The famous German pea sausage
is composed of pea meal. bacon and
fat. 1t was the invention of Berlin
cook, who discovered a process where
by pea meal could be made proof
against deterioration. One sausage
eight inches long yields twelve plates
of nutritious soup.

Tho Discovery of Iron.

The Bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the discoyerer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor, while
Pliny mentions it having been discov-

the forests on the mountain side had
been destroyed by lightning, this about

Miqhty Sirius.

That person who knows nothing else
of the starry universe knows that OF
the fixed" stars Sirius, Of CAMS Ma
jor, is to us by far the most brilliant.
We owe the dazzle of Sirius to the
fact that it is one Of our nearest solar
neighbors, its distance being only about
$4,000, 100000 miles. Yet if seen
from the same distance as our sun it
would be thirty times as bright. 1t is
held by some astronomers that it in

tenn and that we and some of the stars
nearest to us are group of which
Sirius may be the chief.--Pittsburgh

Emptyinu a Bottle.

Water or any other liquid cannot
flow from bottle in steady stream
because until the bottle is empty there
is continuous struggle between the
tendency Of the liquid to fall from the
bottle and the rushing of the air to get
In. When full bottle without cork
Is turned upside down there will be an
alternate realization Of two operations,
the liquid to follow the attraction of
gravitation and the air to obey its nat
ural impulse to fill a void.-Exchange
