Bia-httr Ofloni'M to Bf f

Forelsaer Im Bkpl.-,-.i.; .
Tokyo, the vast sprawling capital of
eastern Japan, a comparattrely young
elty, Is a'ged with the acara ol On, of
earthquake and oft war. IThia great
city, onqe 71,000,000 Inhabltanta,
spread over what la popularly estimat
ed as a huhdred juare milea, aeema
still to cower in the shadow of the tots
trega of the great Iyeyaau. r
. - Tor the American tourist unprepared
for the real orient and knowing Japan
only through her art products and the
few peti pictures of the artist rhapeo
dlsts who hare embarrassed her with
their praises Tokyo is a rare purgative.
Except for the stately and dignified
tombs of the shoguns and .the fine offi
cial grounds and buildings of the capi
tal he finds his senses assailed on every
side by unpleasant slghte, odors and
sound. -'v " - t
Appnaching Tokyo by train from Yo
kohama, he sees the green hillsides pla
carded with enormous advertisements.
Arrived In the city, he finds the poster
and - billboard every where . monstrous
and flagrant Stagnant sewers lie along
the roadside, and foul odors arise from
the pavements, y constantly wet down
by the householders Porters and store
keepers with a rag of a breechekrat or
n scant skirt Jostle, Bbout and stare,
and perhaps a whole family, may be
soimi in a doorway ready for the tub,
from which you see the steam -arising.-A
street called the (Qinga Is the stats
street of Tokyo, and here In the even
ing you may find an infinity of wares
siu cnd out upon, the walk; which la one
of tho few, real sidewalks in Japan.
Most of these wares, however, are a
vast "inconsequential array of cheap
trifles, such.as the enterprising mana
ger of an American "five cent store"
might gather together. There are, how
pvr, a number of somewhat preten
tious stores to be jwen Jy the persist
ent shopper. . "; : -
Shopping In Tokyo, however, Is at
tended by many inconveniences. To be
gin with, your rickshaw man knows no
English and nothing about the stores,
and the names and numbers of streets
are kneWn only to- the map makers.
Where a street has a bam a it la likely
to belong only to the shady side and to
run around the block Instead of contin
uing from the next corner. If, how
ever, you succeed in finding a store
your troubles have just begun.1 The
proprietor sits at the rear of the estab
lishment, cross legged, before a small
desk.'- By virtue of being in his own
tore he has reached the summit of
earthly desire and cares nothing about
you. Perhaps if you wait some small
clerk of a dosea years or less will eome
to wait upon you and, seeing you sore
n foreigner, will charge you extra (or
the few words of English be can mas
ter.
If you are bold enough to leave your
rickshaw and wander about on foot you
will soon attract a curious crowd, the
clatter of whose wooden gets upon the
flags will well nigh deafen you. It is s
good natn red, well meaning crowd,
however, and will soon be scattered by
a policeman. If there are any clerks
going your way they will address you
In the hope of learning a few words of
English or. Inviting you to their stores.
There is no hostility or insult, only cu
riosity and good natured, childish
amusement . -
Modesty Is sa unknown quantity In
Japsn, as ons soon learns. If your rick
ahaw man's two garments become damp
he la likely to cbsmre them before yon,
and fellow travelers In the cars are
sore to change their clothes without
deference, to pises orsummndiafS.
Men and women use the same tank at
the si me time In the public baths wtth-

The second week In August, if not
one of great historical Importance in
old Amsterdam, Is certainly one, of
martyrdom tor tho nervous snd senal
Uve. An ancient custom prevails ac-.
cording to which tho JnvenUea of the
town axe allowed to beat their drums
tor several boors during a whole week
while, parading tho exchange. The
story goes that about 200 years ego's
plot Waa formed to blow? up the ex
change, but n small boy, happening to
let his ball roll under the vaulted foun
dation of tho building, discovered the
barrels of powder which were to do the
wrecking. So it was decided to reward
tho lad, and, on his being asked what
bo would like, tho urchin sold that he
wished to bo allowed to play -at sol
diers v with bis companions round the
building, all being armed with drums,
and to make as much noise as they
liked during several hours of the day
for ons week every year. ' This custom
Is kept up, and, as ail manner of In
struments are called upon to represent
n drum, tin kettle and saucepan lids
not excepted, ths din Is something to be
remembered;
Joseph wss an excellent cook, but be
was not what might be called an ac
complished Uterary man.. At the same
time he conceived the Idea that I cook?
ory book from his pen would fill a long
fwt want Ho set to work! but feel
ing that perhaps be bad made some
mistakes In composition, be submitted
tho work to n prominent literary critic.
Who promised to go through the work
and correct It where necessary..
After a day or two bo brought It back.

Millionaire's Poor Stomach.
The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub

evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are s filleted with bad
stomachs. The proportion Is far greater
among the (oilers. Dyspepels and Indi
