SILENT SALUTE OF THE JAPS.
They Are Never iNoisy When They
Meet the Mikado.
At tlu- recent grand review of
the Japanese fleet, when the mika
do’s launch went by, the civilian:
removed their top hats and the of
ficers stood saluting in absolute si
lence. In the same profound si
lence his majesty was received on
board the Asama. lined along the
sides wit h mot ionless men. There
was something much more impres
sive about this than the most en
thusiastic cheering would have
been. It is considered much more
respectful by the Japanese, says
the Sydney Tow n and Country
Journal.
Only once was he greeted other
wise. which was considered quite
an ovation. That was on the occa
sion of his entry after the victori
ous war with China, when the en
1 husiasm and loyalty of I lie people
burst forth into an ovation such
as few monarehs have ever re
ceived.

greeted with three llritish cheers

ese have taken the lbitish navy as
iheir model, each of tin* ships re
plied with three cheers to tlu*
words "No hair (honorably- sa

was a t the end of tin* second line—
a fine war trophy for that young
fleet. Passing through these lines
of grim death machines, one was
struck with the thought of the
wonderful things those people hud
accomplished in ISO years.
Whsi^ a retrospect might pass
through tlu* mind of that man on
the bridge of the Asama! Mar

more than tiny other that fleet
owed its existence. 11 was a proud
day for him and for those who had
labored wit h him in the great revo
lution or reformation.
Curious Heater.
The curious elect l ie heater of
M. Camille Herrgott consists of
conducting wires woven into car
j.cts and ot her fabrics, amt it isde
signed \o give a moderately high
temperature to tin* libei—hemp,
cotton, linen or silk. It does not
affect the pliability or appearance
of the material. It is claimed that
the heater is perfectly safe, and
that the wires cannot be raised
above a certain temperature. The
arrangement can be applied to
many purposes. Carpets, rugs,
etc., can be kept at the tempera
ture of the body or higher, and
dry or wet medical applications
can be kept easily at 150 degrees
C. In tin* industries numerous
uses are suggested, as in filters for
fatty or gelatinous matters, and
for wanningcarriages or trains,
etc.
Clever Dogs.
When an Egyptian dog wishes
1 o drink at the Nile he goes a short
distance up the river and howls
for some time. The crocodiles be
ing attracted by the sound imme
diately crowd to the place, while
the dog hastily runs to the part
which the crocodiles have left and
drinks in safety.

Rt. Rev. Dr. Leighton Coleman, bish
op oi Delaware, tola the following story,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph, to some
friends in town whom he was visiting re
cently:
"A young man came up to me one day
with the remark: ‘Bishop, l want you to
marry tne on next W ednesday.’
" ‘All right; I’ll marry you.’
“ ‘Well, 1 want the church bell to ring.’
“ ‘Yes, you can lni\e the belt rung.’
“‘Well, 1 want the organ to play.’
“ ‘All right, you can have the organ.’
“ ‘And 1 want everything else anybody
ever had at a church wedding.’
" You shall have it.’
“Well, the night earns, the bell rang,
the organ played, the church was crowd
ed, and everything went oft as the young
man wanted it. When the ceremony was
over the young couple waited, instead of
leaving the chancel. So 1 held out my
hand, shook hands with the bride, and
then held out my hand to the bridegroom,
lie had his hand deep in his trousers
pocket, and as I stood with my hand out,
lie sa:J. somewhat impatiently, and in a
tone that could be heard all over the
church:
“ 'I'm getting the money out just as
fast as i can.’
"Then everybody in the church giggled.”
FOOTWORK ON THE PIANO.

Clifton Bingham, the author of “In Old
Madrid,” is not himself a musician, but
his ear is delicate and sensitive, arm liotu
liig annoys him more than to hear bad
singing or bad playing says the New Yoiii
Tribune.
He was visiting a cousin of his in Lon
don, and this cousm has a son, a boy of
13 or 13, who practices on the piano every
morning, i he muscular lad, banging false
notes ironi the instrument with tre
mendous vigor, tried ill. Bingham not a
little.
"What on earth are you playing there,
Jimmy’:” tne song writer called trem the
next room one morning.
"An exercise from ‘First Steps in
Music.’ ” the boy answered.
“1 knew you were playing with your
feet,” said Mr. Bingham, "but would you
mind stepping a lutle lighter ou the
keys?”

A pious citizen has a 15-year-old son
who does not promise to be exactly "a
chip oft the old block.” Not long ago the
father discovered to his sorrow that his
boy and several others of the neighbor
hood had a habit oi matching nickels.
The wrathrul parent led the erring lad to
the time-honored attic, where hangs a
certain strap. The boy didn't have any
agreeable impression of what was to come,
and, on tin- ground*that it is only the tirst
plunge that coTTftts, he called out: "S>ay,
dad! I ll go you heads o: tails for two
lickings or none!” Chicago Chronicle.

makes the following statement:
"1 was laid up with some kind of pains.
Some said it was Lumbago, others Sciatica,

my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost com
pletely crippled me. J had to use two
canes to walk about and even then it was
a very painful task.
“A friend advised me to try Dodd’s Kid

I nad used the lirst box 1 was able to
throw away one of the canes and was con

**The world of
medicine recognizes
Grip as epidemic
catarrh.”—
Medical Talk.
LA GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. It
spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and t he class
es are alike subject to +a grippe. None
are exempt—all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri
can to read “grip.” Without intending
to do so a new word has been coined
I that exactly describes the case. As il
some hideous giant with awful Grip had
clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip of a
terrible monster.
The following letters speak for them
