While at Kioto, the old capital of

Japan, says a correspondent of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, we saw a treislm dance. It is called u Geisha dance, but really the Geishas, pretty girls of eighteen or thereabouts, play the samisen and koto, and the little

of twelve to sixteen, called do the dancing. The night I

house selected, and were met at the , door by the servants, who unlaced our shoes, as never by any chance could | you enter a Japanese house with shoes on. It would ruin the tine, soft mats I and polished floors. We were then | ushered upstairs to a room facing the river, where the dance was to take place. As soon us we were seated on the floor, a servant came in, who, after repeated bows and smiles, presented us with cups of tea and sake (the Japanese brandy), both hot, and then in came another servant and another

with cakes and nice candy.

And then, when all was ready, in came the pretty Geishas and little Maikos, who looked like butterflies in the gorgeously colored silk embroidered kimonos, and the dance, or rather dances, for there were several, began. The dancing is slow and sedate, more like a minuet than anything else, and exquisitely graceful and without a trace of immodesty. And right here let me say that, while the Japanese standard of morality is quite different from ours, my judgment is that the Japanese, left to themselves, are naturally a refined and modest people and free from much of that prudery

TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.

St. Augustine seemed inclined to yield a little in regard to the sphericity of the earth, but he fought the idea that men exist on the other side of it, saying that “Scripture speaks of no such descendants of Adam.” He insists that men could not be allowed by the Almighty to live there, since, if they did, they could not si*e Christ at His second coming descending through the air. But his most cogent appeal, according to the Science Monthly, one which wc find echoed from theologian to theologian during a thousand years afterward, is to the Nineteenth Hsulm, and to its confirmation in the Epistle to the Romans; to the words: “Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.” He dwells with great force on the fact that St. Paul based one of his most powerful arguments upon this declaration regarding the preachers of the Gospel, declaring even more explicitly that “verily their sound went into all the world, their words unto the ends of the world.” Henceforth we find it constantly declared that, as 1 hose preachers did not go to the antipodes, no antipodes can exist: and therefore that the supporters of this geographical doctrine “give the lie direct to King David and to St. Paul, and therefore to the Holy Ghost.” Augustine taught the whole world for over a thousand years that as there was no preaching of the Gospel on the opposite side of the earth, there could be no human beings there.

cnees with a Tuppy. A man who is owned by a dog, groans Henry Labouchere in his London Truth, lias a troublous time. I am owned by a child, who is owned by a dog. I have a daughter. This daughter insisted on my buying her a puppy which she saw in the arms of some dogstealer when we were at Homburg. My advice to parents Ls: Never allow your parental feelings to lead you to buy your daughter a dog and then to travel about with daughter and dog. The puppy is the bane of my existence. Railroad companies do not issue through tickets for dogs. The unfortunate traveler has to jump out every hour or two to get a fresh ticket. I tried to hide the beast away without a ticket, but it aluays betrayed me by barking when the guard looked in. I tried to leave it at a station, but the creature (who adds blind fidelity to its other objectionable qualities) always turned up before the train started, affectionately bariting and wagging its

tail.

I find bones surreptitiously secreted in my pockets. I am told they are for the puppy, and if I throw them away I am regarded as a heartless monster. Yesterday he ate a portion of my sponge. I did not interfere with him. for I had heard that sponges were fatal to dogs. It disagreed with him, but, alas! he recovered. I take him out with me in boats in the hope that he will leap into the lake, but he sticks to the boat. I am reduced to such a condition on account of this cur that I sympathize with Bill Sikes in his objection to being followed about everywhere by his faithful dog. Am I doomed, I ask, forever to be pestered with this animal? Will he never be lost, will lie never be rdn over, will he recover from the distemper if fortune favors me by his having this malady? Never, never. I repeat, buy your daughter a dog and travel with daughter and dog.

Mount Ycrnou Souvenir*. The old cornfield on the Washington farm at Mount Vernon proved a veritable gold mine to its owner during the recent visits of the grand army men. The veterans appeared eager for mementoes gif their visit, and ears of corn retailed at twenty-five cents each and held stiffly to that rate, as a man with a gun was stationed at the source of supply to prevent the flooding of the market with stolen property. Kansas farmers, who regularly put corn into their fuel bins us well as their barns, paid a quarter of a dollar apiece for ears of corn which they would scorn to acknowledge as the product of their own farms. Next year there will be a shabby, straggling patch in the corner of many a western field, which the owner will point to with pride us raised from seed from the Mount Vernon farm, and a gilded corr.eub over th. diningroom chimney piece will serve to remind the family of the visit to the old mansion on the Potomac.

ALEUT CANOES.

Specimens itl These St range Indian Water Craft lieeently Ilrouglit to Washington. Two firemen who were on the steamer Alice Blanchard on a trip to the Yukon river, says the Seattle Post-In-telligencer, brought back two novel Aleut canoes. The boats were made of rawhide, supported by horizontal ribs. The only opening is a circular hole in the center, large enough for a man's body so that he can sit down. A flap of rawhide surrounds the hole, and when the occupant plants himself in the bottom of the craft he draws the flap up, fastening it tightly around his body under the arms. This makes the boat practically watertight, and he can paddle along in the roughest kind of weather without danger of drowning. If his craft rolls over all he has to do is to paw the water until he gets his head to The surface, and the boat, having stationary ballast, immediately rights itself. Some of them are made with two holes to accommodate two passengers. The two brought down are the single pattern. They are about fourteen feet long, thirty inches across, and of a like depth. They are very light and can easily be earned about. The owners are going to keep them at Lake Washington. It is said two men came down from Alaska in one some years ago and had been upset on numerous occasions on the way, but they never suffered more serious injury than getting their shoulders wet.

HOW MUCH THE WORLD EATS.

It’s Enough to Make a Caterer’s Fortune in a Day. How much the human race eats in a day can only be answered approximately. but at the same time a fairly accurate estimate can be arrived at. The average healthy man eats nearly two and a half pounds of solid food in a day. Some races eat much more than others, but against this we can set the smaller consumption of children and the delicate members of civilized communities. Now, as there are, according to the most careful computations, 1,497,000,000 human beings on the planet, we may conclude that 8,007,770.000 pounds, or about 1,010,012 tons of solid food are eaten every day the world over. M ith regard to the drinking capacity of the human race, as the proper individual allowance is nearly two and three-quarter pints a day, we may talce it that the above named quantity of food is washed down with about 4.047,888,000 pints of liquid in some form or other.

Effect of Ktiulno Trainl:ii;. At a sale of horses of dragoons at the garrison of Bromberg, Prussia, a man bonght two horses and harnessed them to ids carriage. The coachman took the lines and spoke to the horses, and smacked his lips to make them go—' all to no purpose; they refused to move. He used the whip with no better result. Having been a drt.goon himself, he divined the cause of the immovability of his team, and, rising in his seat, he spoke, in tones of military command: “Whole squadron, march! forward, march!” At the sound of the command the horses moved and pulled the carriage all right to Its destination. And ever since they arc commanded in true military style when wanted to do any

The 'Longshoremen Are Probably the Best ruid Workmen. Certainty and regularity of employment count for a good deal, as is shown by the conduct of 'longshoremen these days. You may hire a 'longshoreman for nine or ten dollars a week at steady work in a factory or store, but the rate for their work along the docks is thirty and forty cents an hour, and in unloading vessels sometimes four hundred 'longshoremen make as much as twelve dollars each at a single job, unbroken save by the brief respite snatched for meals. No other unskilled labor is paid so well, but the New York 'longshoreman is worthy of his hire, as he is a marvelously strong, active and intelligent workman. A mite of a woman, who hired two 'longshoremen to help remove her furniture, described them as big as houses, and when one of them, looking down on her, said: “Missus, it’s a mighty dry movin’,” she lost no time in sending for liquid refreshment.

Finger. Were Made a Long Time Uefore Forks, But Spoon. Are Ancient. A French writer attempts to trace table utensils most of them of recent introduction—to their origin. The Rornaua took their meals lying upon ! very low couches, and it was not until ' about the time of Charlemagne that a stand was used, around which guests was seated on cushions, while the table made its appearance in the middle ages, and with it came benches with backs. The Greeks and Romans ate from a kind of porringer, yet during a portion of the middle ages slices of bread cut round took the place of plate. The spoon is very ancient, and many fine specimens are in existence that were used by the Egyptians in the seventeenth century, B. C. The knife— though very old—had not come into common use as a table utensil in the tenth century. The fork was absolutely unknown to the Greeks and Romans, appeared only as a curiosity in the middle ages, and was first used upon the table by Henry III. Drinking cups—in the middle ages made from metal, more or less precious—naturally date from the remotest antiquity. The use of glasses, from Venice, began to be general in the fifteenth century. The saltcellar appeared at a very early date, and occupied the place of honor at the banquets of the Greeks and Romans, many of them being of gold and silver. The castor is probably not older than the sixteenth century.

BIG AND LITTLE HEADS.

AVhat a Hatter Has Observed During His Manipulations. “Show me a man’s hat and I will tell you his nationality,” said a well-known hatter to a reporter for the Washington Sunday Herald the other day. “You see almost every nation has some particular shape of head or style of hair. “An American’s head is generally long and narrow. Most Americans have pretty big heads. They wear a seven or a seven and one-eighth sized hat. “A German, on the contrary, has a broad head, flat in the forehead and high in the crown. The Germans wear very large hats, but this is more because they wear them pulled down low than from the actual size of the head. A Frenchman’s head is much the shape of an American's, but the back part of his head is much broader than his forehead. An<l the head is small. Irish heads are large and almost perfectly round, as are those of Englishmen. “But the worst head of all is the Japanese, and fortunately there are not many of them here. You see, their hair is very thick and harsh and it is almost impossible to get a hat that will fit the back part of their heads and not stick out in front. And they always want a stiff hat, too. “But,” he concluded, “no matter what the shape of head may be, I generally find abou t as much brain in a big as a little head.”

A certain businesswoman often takes letters and packages to the post office to be weighed.

An Ethereal Colony. On Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, lives a little colony of butterflies that never descend below two thousand feet from the summit. They are completely isolated from others of their kind, no butterflies being found in any other spot in their immediate vicinity. It is supposed that the remote ancestors of this curious race were stranded on the mountain at the close of the glacial period.

How Women Ores* in India.

According to a recent writer who has been there, the native women of India seem to array themselves mostly in

jewelry and modesty. He says: “The

Indian lady is loaded down with silver and gold jewelry and precious stones. Her ears have many rings in them, some so large that they reach her shoulders. Next comes the nose, with rings large enough for a bracelet. Occasionally the lips are also ornamented. Then she has several necklaces of costly pearls, armlets, wristlets, and anklets and innumerable rings on most of the fingers and toes, including the thumbs and great toes. An Indian lady’s jewelry was weighed on one occasion and it was found to turn the scales at thirty-five pounds. The conventional dress for ladies consists of a piece of silk or gorgeously colored cotton about five yards long and half a yard wide. This is wrapped about the body in the following way: One end is circled round the waist once or twice, then the remainder is thrown over the left shoulder, lea ving the right breast, both arms, and legs bare. The cloth reaches nearly to her knees. It may thus >>»» opqn that sin- is well dressed I for the purpose of displaying her ornaj ments and comfortably dressed for the

climate.” ,
