Troubles of Those Ignorant of the Language and Native Ways. All Japanese inns, of course, charge a great deal more to the globe trotting European tourist who does not speak the language, since he or she is not content to travel strictly a la Japonaise and worries the entire household with a variety of strange demands-extra quilts to sleep on because they tind the floor hard, nn improvised pillow, special ftnd (the ordinary giiest tnkes what is given hiru and at the hour thnt his host pleases and is thankfuli. knives, forks and spoons bectiuse he has neglected to practice eating bis food with chopsticks, a bath with fresh water in it because lie will not follow the custom of entering tlie bath as soon as lie arrives, thus getting the opportunity of first bath and the -water while it is fresh, and half a d07.cn other retirements. He rserves his chnlal also until he leaves, and often the host misunderstands this action and. fearing he will get no recompense for bis extra trouble, augments the bill accordingly. These visitors not unusually treat the waitresses like so many novel playthings, especinlly travelers of tho stf-mer sex. who sometimes fail hopeiessly to distinguish between professional geishas and ordinary maidservants.

NATIONAL ATHLETES Meet at Pittsburg to Decide Championships. (National News Association) Pittsburg, Pa., June 30. By long odds the greatest national athletic representation of recent years was to be seen today at Forbes Field, the home of the Pittsburg Baseball club. The occasion for the gathering was the opening of the premiership contests, both junior and senior, to decide the national track and field championships of the Amateur Athletic Union. East, West, North and South were all represented by the stars of the competitive firmament, who, if any line can be drawn through previous performances, outshine in power any seen anywhere in the country for several decades. The best performers of the East, including the stars of the Xew York A. C. and the Irish-Ameri- ! can A. C, are among the entrants. while the far West is also well represented by the crack athletes of the Olympia A. C, of San Francisco and the Seattle Athletic club. Today was given over to the junior contests, with' the senior events to follow tomorrow. The events include running races from 100 yards to five miles inclusive, both high and lowhurdles, running high and broad jumps, running hop, step and jump, throwing hammer, and "fifty-six," discus, shotput, and javelin.

A fine spurt in all around offensive work the past fortnight makes Johnny Bates of Cincinnati, a former Boston National player, look like the Ty Cobb" of the National League. Bates has arisen in his batting mark to a tie with Fred Clarke of the Pirates, who is the leagues real loader, stands fifth in the run getting and sixth among the Iwst base stealers. He is coming faster each week, despite th handicap of playing with a losing team. Besther of Cincinnati has been forced to surrender his Jeadreship in base stealing to Murray and Devore of New York, who are tied for first honors. Sheckard of the Cubs still tops the list of dozen leading run getters, with a fair margin of lead But while Bates is making a great showing for that circuit, his work is not to he compared with that of the wonderful leader o ft he American League. Cobb now has no rival, his performances this season having established him as the superior of all players that are or ever have been. Last year his work was remarkable, but this year it has far surpassed anything he has ever shown, and places him in a class by himself, as the following indicates. Year G AB Ft BH TB A v.

And the end is not yet, for his batting average shows an increase every week, last weeks addition having been six points. In thirty eight straight games he Ins not failed 10 record at least one hit, and in only five games of the seaton has he been turned back hitless. Mclnnis of the Athletics having been reduced to a runner-up in the league, with his batting average falling steadily, makes Speaker a likely canilidae for the second position. He has passed Collins of the Athletics and is a steady gainer, while Collins is falling off. Sunday In Old Scotland. Looking out of the window used to be an indictable offense on the Sabbath, the London Chronicle says. In 1709 the kirk session of Edinburgh, "taking into consideration that the Lord's day is profaned by people standing In the streets, vagulng in the fields and gardens, as also by idly gazing out of windows, it is ordered that each session take Its turn to watch the streets on Sabbath and to visit each suspected bouse in each parish by elders and deacons with beadle and officers and after sermon, when the day is long, to pass through the streets and to reprove such as transgress and inform on such as do not refrain." Every conceivable substance enters into the composition of dust.

With the venerable Lord Strathcona in the chair and his royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught as the guest of honor, today's Dominion Day dinner in London proved to be a highly notable public function.

African Savages That Grind Their Teeth to Sharp Points. The most terrible species of cannibals living are the cruel, bloodthirsty Matiyuema of Tanganyika, in central Africa. Living to the west of Tanganyika, these cannibals, clothed in primitive fashlou with a piece of bark cloth rudely hammered out from a neighboring tree, have an appetite for human flesh which is well nigh insatiable. They exercise the most fiendish cunning in tracking down their quarry, choosing fat, well covered people in preference to those who are lean and bony. Their favorite practice is to waylay their victims at eventide so that they may have before them a long night in which to effectually dispose of their prey by cutting it up into strips and drying it over a low fire iu the woods. These dried strips of human flesh are carefully preserved for future use. and on two occasions theso grewsome forest food depots were discovered and their owners killed by the Wafipa people, who inhabit east Tanganyika. Most of these cannibals file their teeth to sharp points so as to enable them more easily to tear the flesh from the bone when they have to eat their abominable meal in a hurry. Wide World Magazine. An Unreasonable Friend. Several young artists in Philadelphia are telling a story on another wlelder of the brush who Is a fellow member in a little club. One of the rules of the club is that each member must keep his finished paintings up to a certain number. The artist on whom the story is told is noted for his indolence. lie keeps up to the requirement regarding the number, but never exceeds it. But for his distaste for work the artist probably would be very comfortably fixed financially, as he has considerable talent. As a matter 'of fact, he Is usually on the edge of penury. Several days ago, when his exchequer was unusually low, a friend vtslted him In his studio. The friend looked at several of the paintings, while the artist lay on a couch, smoking a pipe. "I like this." the friend finally said, pointing to one of them. lie named a good price which he was willing to pay. The artist looked at him mournfully. "Aw, don't do that." he said.
