JAPANESE INNS ARE QUEER Guests Must Leave Tkelr Footwear In the Vestibule When Going to Their Rooms The entrance to native inns in Japan is 'most always u roofed vestibule with x well-trodden earthen tioor backed by x raised platform about twenty inches nigh, forming at once a seat und the outer extension of the first floor A scattered line of shoes, sundais and geta belonging to the guests usually lie along it. and at one side is a cupboard where umbrellas and footgear are deposited. A big drop octagon clock on the wall, a low desk, a hibachi and a pile of cushions generally complete the office equipment. The traveler's jinriki customarily deposits him in the vestibule, at the edge of the platform, beneath the overhang of the roof. Shouts of “O Kvsku san” (honorable visitors) apprise the mas- ’ tera and the maids that a guest is ar- ‘ riving, and all hurry forward to rej ceive him, uttering cries of welcome and bowing glossy black heads to the floor. As the traveler sits on the platform a servant removes his shoes and othI era divest him of his wraps. Shoes , are seldom cleaned, and if they be wet or muddy they are left untouched. , Habitual frequenters of inns often provide themselves with foot coverings to slip over shoes and thus be able to wear them to the apartment. Without them one must don the heelless slippers furnished or go to one’s room unshod—Kansas City Times. FOND OF QUOTATION MARKS Irish Editor Thought Them Protection Against Libel Suit and Excuse for Eccentric Style. ■ Judge Bodkin's book of reminiscences contains many good things. 1 Among them is his description of one | of the editors under whom he served, John B. Gallagher, who is said never to have read a book in his life. It . was he, says the Dublin General Ad- ' vertiser, who revised the reporter s | copy and mercilessly mutilated the I manuscript. He had one curious delusion. He fancied that inverted commas were a protection against a libel action, and stranger still, an excuse for any eccentricities of style On one occasion Mr. Bodkin, in describing a theatrical performance, wrote that it was “exquisitely amusing.” “Old G.” cocked lus head critically on one side. “I don’t like that word exquisite,” he said. 'AU right, sir,” I answered, "I'll strike it out.” “No, no; it’s a good enough word, but it's a little unusual there. Tell you what, we’ll quote it." “Quote it from what?” I asked in amazement. “Oh, It does not matter; Just simply quote it.” Next morning i the Freeman’s Journal duly reported ; that the performance was ” ’exquisitely’ amusing.” Mother's Constancy. There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother for a son that transcends ail other affections of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by selfishness nor daunted by danger nor ! weakened by worthlessness nor stifled by ingratitude. She will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience; she will surrender every pleasure to his enjoyment; she will glory in his fame and exult in his prosperity; and, if misfortune overtake him, he will be ' the dearer to her through his misfor- : tunes; and. if disgrace settle upon his name, she will still love and cherish him in spite of his disgrace: and, if all the rest of the world cast him off, she will be all the world to him. —New York Weekly. Paper Money. The Chinese anticipated what we might think to be an essentially mod ‘ era convenience bank notes and “paper money’ so long ago as 2697 H- C. —4,600 years ago! One sqcli bank j note, issued nearly 3,300 years ago, is still preserved In the museum at I Petrograd. The Chinese called their , notes ’’flying money,” or "convenient : money." They bore the name of the i bank, date of issue, a number, an offl- | cial signature, its value in words and ' figures, and, as an additional precauj tion against forgery and as a help to ' the ignorant, a pictorial' representation . in coins of an amount equal to the face ; value of the note- Answers. Cigar With Wooden Peg. A cigar manufacturer in Wisconsin equips each cigar with a small wooden shoe peg inserted in the tip aud projecting far enough to be easily grasped by the teeth. Instead of biting off the end of the ttp the smoker simply takes hold of this peg with his teeth and pulls it out, and in tills way opens a good draft through the cigar without loosening or injuring the wrapper.- Popular' Mechanics.

Gotham—Sure; it’s not until then that they discover that someone lias purloined their umbrellas.
