Cheer* for th« Mikado.
Only twice in his life has the
Emperor of Japan been greeted by
his subjects in the way in which
the white man is accustomed to ex-
press his loyalty. One of these oc-
casions was on the recent celebra-
tion of the emperor's birthday, on
November 3, when, according to
the London Chronicle, the people
■were unable to repress their feel-
ings at the sight of his majesty;
the other was when the mikado
returned to Tokio from the seat of
the military head juarters after the
Chinese war, when he was greeted
for the first time in Japanese his-
tory with a roar of "Banzai!" by
immense crowds who lined the
whole route from Shimbashi to the
palace gates. Nothing is more sig-
nificant of the change which has
come over Japan. In the old days
the person of the makida was so
'•acred that when he passed every
subjevt had to leave his house and
kneel on the ground, without dar-
ing to look at the imperial person,
and to anyone who utter a sound
death would have come swiftly.
Even when Japanese civilization
was so far advanced that the emper-
or held his first naval review it
is remembered that, in accordance
with court etiquette, he carefully
turned his back on the vessels and
their crews who were saluting him,
He Asked for "razors."
"Please send .1.- : >rs at
once and -barge to militia ac-
count of the state," telegraphed
Adjutant General Drain of YVash-
ington, to the war department.
"How did you get the idea that
tie war department furnished
razors to the militia?" telegraphed
the chief of ordinance to Adjut-
ant General Drain. Then there
were a iot more telegrams, and it
was discovered that Adjutant
General Drain wanted sight "rais-
ers" for guns, not implements fot
•having.
London'* Oldest Kitchen.
Perhaps the oldest relic in Lon-
don of a medieval kitchen is at
Westminister Abbey, though lit-
tle remains to indicate it save the
rubble flooring, the buttery hatch
and an adjoining cellar, now the
handsome dining hall of Canon
Wilberforce.
Hsdlay's "Painted Beauties."
President Hadley of Yale i«
considered a clever maker of
phrases. His introductions, used
at the commencement exercises
for those about to receive honor-
ary degrees, are usually little
masterpieces, but his ability to
say much in a few words does not
,.,Ior him immune from making
A year or two ago an
Tt club, composed principally of |
a . ssors in the university, gavej
a • i:mer to which the wives of]
numbers were invited. The tables j
were spread in the main gallery;
in the art school, and President
Hadley acted as toastmaster. As
is customary when women are
present at a banquet, the toast-
master handed out a large line
of "rhetorical bouquets," to which
the women present were permit-
ted to help themselves. One of
the "bouquets" was a surprise to
those of Dr. Hadley's hearers who
caught its unintended signifi-
cance. With a comprehensive
wave of the hand, President Had-
ley pointed to the works of art
on the of the room, and
said: "What need have we of all
these painted beauties on the wall
when so ma v are gathered here
tonight around tliis festive
board?" The art club is no long-
er in existence, and the only
"painted beauties" present on that
occasion are still on exhibition at
the Yale art school.

Hoar Loves Ancient Poet*.
Senator Hoar is the only mem-
ber of either branch of congress
who draws on the congressional
library extensively for the Greek
and Latin poets. He still delves In
the riches of the "Iliad" and the
"Odyssey" and enjoys reading
anew the vivid adventures which
Virgil so ably told. The Mas-
sati. "setts senator is an eager
reader of man)- other books in the
big library, but since Representa-
tive Elliott, or South Carolini, re-
tired from public life he is about
the only reader af books in fore-
ign languages save Senator El-
kins, of West Virginia, who occa-
sionally sends for a volume in

Hotel for Women Only.
Unlike certain other enterprises
coducted exclusively by women
and for worsen the Martha Wash-
ington hotel in New York is a big
success in all departments, ex-
cept the barber shop and the bar.
'Hie building contains 500 rooms,
which have been furnished and
equipped at a cost of $800,000, and
has few vacancies. The house is
open all ni^ht and gusets come

Four Generations oi Musician*.
There are four generations of
female musicians in one Cleveland

mother down. The youngest mem-
ber is a tot of four years, who al-

three others being teachers. TI:

year; her daughter, Mrs. Alice
Webster Baker; her garnddaugh-
ter, Mrs. Nellie Webster Tate, wife

granddaughter, Dorothoy Tate.
Was "Too Late to Mond."
Two days after the death of Ste-
phen W Fitts, of Allerton, Mass.,
his executor received a check for
$3.03 from the United States treas-
ury in payment of a claim against
the government that had been filed
42 years ago. The claim was for
unpaid services in the arm*.

You never tire of bread
made with Yeast Foam.
It tastes fresh and good at
every meal. It's wholesome
and nourishing—the true
staff of life, health and
good digestion. It has the
sweet, wlieaty flavor that
whets the appetite and
makes you eat and
eat and eat. Bread

Natural Ice by Evaporation.
The peasants of Pongibaud, in
the mountains of Auvergne, are
acquainted with a singular sum-
mer formation of ice, presum-
ably due to evaporation of un-
derground moisture and conse-
quent fall in temperature. Of this
phenomenon they have for many
years taken advantage to cool and
harden their cheeses, which are
deposited in certain caverns where
this ice is found to be present,
and thus keep good during the
hottest summer months.
unlike the poor
yeast kind, is free from
sourness and acidity, and
retains freshness and mois-
ture longer than bread made
with any other yeast.
Yeast Foam is a purely
vegetable yeast made of the
finest malt, hops, corn and
other healthful ingredients.
It never grows stale, and may
be kept on hand all the time.
The secret is in the yeast.
Yeast Foam is sold by all
grocers in neat 5c packages,
each containing 7 cakes—
enough for 40 loaves.

Naturalizing a Russian.
England is always glad to get
I another citizen, but sometimes she
goes about it in a strange man-
| ner, according to the Springfield
I Republican. A sailor recently de
sorted from a Russian battleship
1 and joined an English crew on
a faraway island. He told them
i that he was tired of the rule of
the czar and wanted to became an
English citizen. They were at a
! loss how to naturaJize him, but
finally each one threw a bucket
of water on him and so washed
off the Russian.
