_ Before the Sunday rioaiac iaw *»• I auhcted in Chicago, Sunday warn the I •^hon-krepen.'

They would *U-p I -into the comer saloon and, ;oeetisg $ne comoanions there, would apend • afternoon playing curd* and drinkt, perhaps heavily. All thia is now inhed. The four men who played _ a and drank in the aaloon now find nore pleasure in watching a ball jamtakine in the “movie*,’’ or enoyine a quiet game ol cardc at home.

The Mikado's TH1*. The ruler of Japan really should be called trti-o, not mikado. The Uttar means “royal gate" and is a title somewhat similar to sublime porte. which is used indifferently to mean the Turkish sultan, biq^rovernmeat or the country Itself. - Ten-o meant "heaven’s highest.'' a title surpassing all the moat grandiloquent European efforts. The original Japanese for ten-o Is aoumelamlkoto. bnt the former ia universally used. |>erhBpa on account

Origin of th* Cvrf*w. A note by Itnakln ItntterfMd reminds us that, although Sliakespmre apeak* of “the curfew bell" and MUton of “the faroff curfew sound.” Chancer more correctly refers to “corfew tyme,” aa curfew was originally an appliance for covering the fire. There are exam plea still In existence, for instance In the Hastings museum. They look like Urge tea goztea In metal They served, aa modern use fire guards, to prevent ■parks setting the house on fire, and the housewife heaped the embers together at night aud placed the curfew ur them to lessen the combustion and in the morning nave the trouble of lighting the fire again.—London Spectator. ' China's Food Problem. No natural resource is too trilling to be turned to account by the teeming population of China. The aea is raked and stralnel for edible plunder. Seaweed and kelp have a place in the larder Great quantities of sbellflah »o bigger than one’s Huger nail are opened and made to yield a food that finds iu wny far inland. The fungus that springs up in the grass after a rain is eaten. Fried sweet potn'.o vines furnish the i>oor mini's table. The road side ditches are balid out for the sake of fishes no longer than one's linger. Careful obrervers say that four-fiftha of the converaptkm among common Chinese relate* to food. Blotting Papw Lika a Swamp. In describing how blotting paper ale ■orbs ink i’opnlar Science Monthly says: Under the microscope b’ott'ng pa|>er when absorbing Ink resembles, on a small scale, u marsh matted with shrubs, sticks and twigs, round which water is flowing. So the ink runa about among the fibers tuat together form the iqiougy paper. There is a limit to the amount of liquid that a blotter will absorb, then* is a limit to the amount of water that a marsh will absorb before It overflow*. The limit In the blotter is the combined capillary attraction of the fibrous shreds, sticks and twigs that together form the pai>er.
