ON THE STREET IN JAPAN.
Strange Sights That Greet the Eye
of the Stranger and Cause
Him to Stare.
When one’s work is done, (here
is left the mild excitement of
walking up the great alimentary
canal of Xikko. All that is doing
in Nikko may be seen, writes
Charles Hovey Pepper, in tin*
World Today. On tin* veranda
of a house madam is having her
bath, her head sticking above the
steaming water. The youngsters
In their original suits are hailing
you: "Sinko sail, ohiyo!” ".Mr.
stranger, good day." An array of
great gilt lotus flowers and leaves
on long stems shows that a mem
ber of the family within is dead.
In the front room, unprotected
from the street, one sees the
square kagolike box in which,
with knees against the breast, the
last journey is taken.
A bevy of gnyly dressed geisha
girls, with attendants earn ingko
tos and saxnisens, are bound for
some dinner or entertainment,
their hair blaek and shiny and
filled with bright ornaments,their
faces and necks white with rice
powder and their lower lips bright
with scarlet paste. They are chat
tering in the shrill and penetrat
ing voices which are peculiar to
them.
The merchant stops out from
his shop to tell you he has some
new Kakemona or carving to
show, antiques from 300 years old
' to those so recent that the lacquer
is hardly dry. “Step in, sir," cries
a young man, waving his hand in
the a‘i as he paints with an imag
inary brush an imaginary picture,
“and see our Japanese artist us
ing his brush.*’ lie hands you his
card and you are pleased to read
the motto of his house is “Earnest
is the best policy.” “I was wait
1 ing for you.” says a pretty girl,
smiling, "will you please come in
my shop? I have brack racker
and red raeker trays. Yes, very
pretty.” She spends all her time
in the front of her shop Ik-tween
the two bridges. If she sees one
cross either bridge she is already
waiting when he has crossed. No
one escapes.
AN OLD JOKE MADE TRUE.
Mother and Daughter Found in Line
Among the Members of
Opera Chorus.
The old jokes about the anti
quity of the ballet prill have gone
out of fashion, and il is not likely
that they will be revived now that
the ballet has become so much less
important than it used to be. The
show girls who figure in contempo
raneous musical pieces are, as a
rule, too good looking to admit ol
any jokes on that subject. So the
reality of the situations existing
in some of the comic opera cho
ruses is for t hat reason more inter
-esting, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
A fair member of one organiza
tion is the daughter of another.
Mother naturally occupies a some
what inconspicuous position in the
line. I laughter, on t he ot her hand,
1s right down in front in the
beauty row. She is only 10, so her
relative in the company is not so
old as the relation suggests.
In another company the mother
of one of the principals is in the
chorus. In a theatrical troupe
that played here last winter the
wife of the leading man used to be
the principal lady super.
A Quiet Indiana Episode.
‘•Maw,” said little Freddy, as
he hurriedly entered the house and
threw his cap on the lounge, ‘what
have you got for supper—besides
etewed rhubarb?”
“Sassafrax tea,” said the good
mother, complacently. And peace
and quietude settled over the
household.—IndianapolisNewi.
History’s Hilarity. .
Hiawatha and hie prospective father-in
law were sitting before tlie latter’s tepee.
“I was looking for flints for arrow
heads over the ridge to-day,” remarked
the young brave, "and found several
quartz.”
"I must tell that to my daughter,” the
arrowmaker chuckled, “it will make Min
nehaha.”—Detroit News.

Good News from Texas.
New Braunfels, Texas. May 23rd.—A
remedy has been found which cures every
form of Kidney Trouble from Bright’s Dis
ease down, including Rheumatism or
Heart Trouble. Mr. C. C. Schumann, R.
F. D. No. 4 from Braunfels has used it in
his family and says of the result:
"My wife had a heap of tiouble with
Kidney and Heart Disease. She was very
bad and nothing seemed to help her, till
we tried Dodd s Kidney Pills, and the
first box of this medicine did her more
good than all the other pills and medicine
she had used. We are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they have
done for her.
Many other cases are being reported,
in which this remedy has done wonderful
work in the relief anu cure of Rheuma
tism, D.abetes and Kidney' troubles of all

COULD HEAR IN GERMAN
A Horse That Was Not Used to Ia
Kructions la Any Other
Language.
“1 bought a horse at an auction not
long ugo, said an Eighth avenue butcher,
according to the New York Press, ‘ and J
thought 1 had got a bargain until 1 tried,
him a few days; then 1 concluded that t
had been stuck. the horse was Bound,
had good sight, but he would not obey
commands. He would not stop when the
driver said ‘ Whoa! ’ nor start when he said
tlit up!' The animal seemed to be deaf,
and the first chance 1 got I sold him to a
Herman baker at a sacrifice.
"Shortly after that 1 met the baker, and
he shook my hand cordially and expressed
ham-elf as being very much pleased with
the horse 1 had sold him. 1 wondered at
this and asked if the horse seemed to hate
any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise,
the baker said the noise could hear as
well as any horse he ever hnd.
“ Does he stop when you suy "Whoa!”
and start when you say "Git up?"’ 1
ssked.
“ ‘Oh, no!’ exclaimed the baker, ‘1 don’t
•ay dot! 1 talks to him in German!'
“That lioise must have belonged to a
German before he was put up at auction.
lh.it is the only way 1 can account for his
actions.”
AS COOD AS THE BEST

that the new-rich ate to be fouuu every

‘What time do the best people dine?’

“ ‘At different times, sir,’ the butler
answered.
“ ‘Very well,' said the new-rich. ‘Then
1, too, will dine at different times.’ ”

Having a Pic-nie.
Thorp is something particularly enjoy
able about going to a picnic. The very word
Pic-Xic brings pleasant anticipations of a
good time. The idea of going out to the
woods and fields or down by some brook
or lake, with luncheon to be served on the
grass and tinder the trees, has a peculiar
fascination. The fresh air and exercise con
tribute to give a liei'. tv appetite to all and
everything at luncheon seems far better
than the finest course dinner that a French
chef ever served. Wooden dishes supplant
Dresden china, and paper boxes silver
trayo, when the “good things to eat" are
spread upon the ground.
l’ic-Xies are never complete without the
sandwiches, sweet white bread with a gen
erous layer of meat between. Libliy's
canned meats arc ideal for pic-nics and

and the contents so fresh and palatable,
that no pic-nie is a success without Libby's

istence. In 245 A. D., when it was 516
years of age. a forest fire burned on its j
trunk a scar three feet in width. After
1,196 years of placid life, in another
fire, in 1441 A. D.. the tree, aged 1,712,
received another injury. Another scar
followed in 158", and was not covoied
with new tissue for 56 years. The
worst attack of all was in 1797, when
the tree, then 2,068 years of age, was
attacked by a fire, which left a scar 18
feet wide, reduced by 1800, in 103 years,
to 14 feet.—Collier’s Weekly.

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Tit for Him.
—
A Massachusetts lady w ho has been
through the mill with the trials of the j
usual housekeept r and mother relates an 1
interesting incident that occurred hot
long ago. She says:
"1 can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all
cereal foods in my family, young as well
as old. It is food and medicine both to !
us. A few mornings ago at breakfast j
my little boy said:
“ ‘Mamma, does the king eat Grape
Nuts very morning?’
“1 smiled and told him I did not know,
but that I thought Grape-Nuts certainly
made a delicious dish, fit for a king.”
(It's a fact that the king of England and
the German emperor both eat Grape
Nuts.)
“I find that by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as a morning cereal
but also in puddings, salads, etc., made
after the delicious recipes found in the
little book in each package it is proving
to be a great nerve food for me, besides
having completely cured a longstanding
case of indigestion.” Name given by
Postura Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food in
place of improper food will show in
steady, strong nerves, sharper brain
and the power to "go” longer andfurther
and accomplish more. There’s a reason.
