JAPANESE RESTAURANTS. Their Furnishings, the Bill of Fare and the Food. "At the entrance to a Japanese restaurant one finds a number of wooden 'gaitas' (clogs) which the Japanese slip off in exchange for straw braid sandals," writes a traveler. "The strange thing here about it is the fact that no mixups occur, although to an outsider these clogs all look much alike. The dining room is closed in with the regulation sliding doors, which can be taken away in summer, and opens on the regulation Japanese garden, with the regulation dwarfed trees and temple incense burner. As in most Japanese houses, the ceiling is low, and while the writer never bumped his head against any of the crossbeams, six footers might well beware. The tables are covered with immaculately clean linen, the chairs upholstered and with slats across the legs, so as not to rip open the matting. Evidently the Japanese who have been abroad and those who work in offices appreciate the comforts of a chair. Knives, forks and spoons also seem to appeal to them. I don't know whether they fully appreciate the mission of the spoons—they seem to think that the biggest possible noise should be made when eating soup. One seems to try to outdo the other. "Moving silently on straw sandals, the waiter brought me a bill of fare. Not an ordinary bill of fare. It is a piece of black lacquered wood, the menu written on it with white chalk in Japanese characters only. If a dish cannot be served further the finger is passed over that number, and it disappears from the menu. I began at the right hand side, remembering that the Japanese do always the opposite from the way we should do—and, lo! I got a cup of bouillon. It was not properly salted, but with a pinch or so tasted excellent. I then pointed at the next vertical column—they also read upside down here—and the waiter We Prove—Horseshoe Paint Absolutely Pure Lead, zinc and linseed oil, with their sary color and dryer. And that's all there is in Horseshoe Prepared Paint. Not an atom of adulteration. W that to you—before you buy Horseshoe Paint. Lead and zinc are the only standard pigments—the only pigments that necessary oil-carrying capacity (zinc cent greater than lead) and oil is the paint. Abundance of oil because of absorption is what makes Horseshoe Prepared Paint spread farther, wear longer, cost less better than ordinary ready-mixed paint. Because ordinary ready-mixed paint with such adulterants as silica, whiting, etc., which have no pigment comparatively no oil-carrying capacity. Therefore ordinary ready-mixed lack life—spreading and wearing because every particle of adulteration their oil-carrying capacity—the sun simply add volume and subtract value.

If a dish cannot be served further the finger is passed over that number, and it disappears from the menu.

It was not properly salted, but with a pinch or so tasted excellent. I then pointed at the next vertical column—they also read upside down here—and the waiter brought me soup. It was waved away. Number three looked like a dish of worms, minute fish—I believe they call them ‘balt’ on the hotel menu—with their eyes like tiny black dots. They are baked in a bunch and with a little Worcestershire sauce are quite palatable. “Next an exquisitely cooked chicken cutlet, and number five was such a steak as one could not improve upon anywhere. I would fain have passed on farther down the line or rather to the left, but lest I should be tempted to eat too much I asked for coffee. It is safe to do that. They know no other name for it here. My bill was ‘ich yen nidue sen’ (1 yen 20 sen), or about 60 cents American money! This included a pint of Kirin beer brewed in Japan.” An Experiment. In a certain very remote town a new bank was started. It was only a branch bank, but that did not dim its luster or novelty in the eyes of the backwoods citizens. The first depositor was Si Fox. Si was a man of means, but had trusted for the safety of his money to his yarn sock and his gun. Now he felt that, as the leading citizen of the town, he ought to encourage the new enterprise. He put in a thousand dollars as soon as the bank opened. An hour later he came back and asked how money was taken out. The method of making out a check was explained, and Si made out one for $1,-000. The cashier was surprised at the sudden withdrawal, but paid it without remark. Si took his money and walked down to a group of men and displayed it. The group entered into a warm but low voiced discussion. In ten or fifteen minutes Si walked into the bank again and told the cashier that he wanted to deposit a thousand dollars. “Why, sir, what is the matter with you?” asked the clerk. “You deposited a thousand about an hour ago and took it out before it had got cold, and now you want to put it back again.” To this the vanquished replied: ‘Well, you might as well bit more for me. Just pretend wounded and wear your arm in for a day or two, so that I need considered disgraced nor any of that come up when they reconcile us—that is, if I survive the victorious friend smeared the other’s blood on his arm and about saying that he was wounded it was a mere nothing, and wished his friend were the same latter recovered with some diarrhea and they were afterward friends as before.” Does Education Pay?

"Well, my friend," said SI, "me and the boys just wanted to find out how the thing worked." The Story of a Duel. In his "Dueling Stories of the Sixteenth Century" Brantome, a French writer, says that two French captains, though old friends, fell out and fought. One of them was disabled. "The other, being untouched, observed: 'There, that's enough for old friends like us.

Dragomiroff, the divisional commander, the emperor embraced and gave him the cross of St. George. He shook hands warmly with Yolchine, the brigade commander, and gave him, too, a St. George to add to the decorations which this cheery little warrior had been gathering from boyhood in the Caucasus and central Asia. Then the emperor strode to where Skobeleff stood, and men watched the little scene with interest, for it was notorious that Skobeleff was in disfavor with his sovereign, and yet of him the camps were ringing with the story of his conduct of the previous morning. Would Alexander maintain his umbrage or would he make it manifest that it had been displaced by Skobeleff's heroism. For at least a minute the czar hesitated as the two tall, proud, soldierly men confronted each other. You could trace in his countenance the struggle between disapproval and appreciation. It was soon over, and the wrong way for Skobeleff. The emperor frowned, turned short on his heel and strode abruptly away without a word or a gesture of greeting or recognition. A man of strong prejudices, he was not yet able to exercise from his mind the calumnies that had blackened to him the character of Skobeleff. That officer, for his part, flushed scarlet, then grew deadly pale and seemed to conquer an impulse as he set his teeth hard and maintained his disciplined immobility. It was a flagrant insult in the very face of the army and a gross injustice, but Skobeleff endured it in a proud silence. The time soon came to that gallant and brilliant soldier when he could afford to be magnanimous. As the campaign progressed he distinguished himself again and again, so that his name became a synonym in the army for splendid daring as well as for opportun skill. On Sept. 3 Skobeleff after exploit on exploit devised and led the storm of To this the vanquished one well, you might as well do a r me. Just pretend to be and wear your arm in a sling or two, so that I needn't be misgraced nor any question rise up when they want to—that is, if I survive.'

The inability of the shark to seize its victim without turning itself first upon its back must be a serious inconvenience to it, and a swimmer with sufficient presence of mind to await his coming and then when he turns to dive suddenly under him can baffle the rush of a shark just as a man can avoid the charge of an enraged bull by coolness and activity. Man's aversion to the shark here stands greatly in his way, few swimmers when attacked possessing sufficient coolness and presence of mind to carry the maneuver into successful effect, although many possess nerve enough to await without flinching the onset of the most formidable of terrestrial animals. Did we know more of the domestic habits of the shark, learn to appreciate the virtues that he doubtless possesses, there can be little doubt that the unreasoning aversion that is felt toward him would be largely mitigated and that we should come to make due allowances for the pressure of hunger that at times operates to our own disadvantage. — London Standard. The Man With No Tea In Him. The long isolation of Japan from the rest of the world, so conducive to introspection, has been highly favorable to the development of tealism. Japanese homes and habits, costume and cuisine, porcelain, lacquer, painting, the very literature—all have been subject to its influence. No student of Japanese culture could ever ignore its presence. It has permeated the elegance of noble boudoirs and entered the abode of the humble. The peas- The Man With No Tea In Him. The long isolation of Japan from the rest of the world, so conducive to introspection, has been highly favorable to the development of tealism. Japanese homes and habits, costume and cuisine, porcelain, lacquer, painting, the very literature—all have been subject to its influence. No student of Japanese culture could ever ignore its presence. It has permeated the elegance of noble boudoirs and entered the abode of the humble. The peasants have learned to arrange flowers, the meanest laborer to offer his salutation to the rocks and waters. In common parlance the Japanese speak of the man "with no tea" in him when a man is insusceptible to the serio-comic interests of the personal drama. Again they stigmatize the untamed aesthete who, regardless of the mundane tragedy, runs riot in the spring-tide of emancipated emotions as one "with too much tea" in him.—International Quarterly. The Egyptian's Lesson. Some years ago an Englishman was coming down the river Nile, in Egypt, on a large boat loaded with grain, and the birds came off from every village and ate the grain piled on the deck. The Englishman asked the Egyptian captain of the boat, "Who owns this grain?" The Egyptian captain said, "I own it." Then the Englishman asked, "Why let the birds eat up the grain?" The Egyptian asked the Englishman, "Who made the birds?" The Englishman answered, "God." The Egyptian asked whether grain was a food which God intended birds to eat. The Englishman said it was. The Egyptian said, "Can the birds sow and raise the grain for themselves?" The Englishman said, "They cannot." Then said the Egyptian: "Let them eat. God has provided enough for both them and us."
