The Japanese ahopi are uninviting
looking places. They have no show
windows; do counters. Their ex
terior! are blank walls and th
entrances are hidden by heavy cur
tains of black or dark-blue cloth, bear
ing large red or white letter in Japan
ese, which take the place of sign
board. Two or three feet Irom the
sidewalk is a raired platform about fif
teen or eighteen inches high, and
around it a curious assortment ot
wooden clogs and sandals, lor a native
customer always leaves her shoes out
side when she enters a shop. And
when she is bnyiug or looking nt
goods she sits on the edge of this
platform or squats ungracefully on tho
matting within.
Foreign buyers arc allowed to enter
with thtr shoes on, and threo or four
chairs are usually kept for their
accommodation. The goods nre not
spread out on shelves or in show-cases,
lint nre kept in botes nnd chests
usually wrapped iuyellow cloth. Yott
take your seat iu a chair, a small boy
brings you n cup of toaand you tell the
merchant what you want, while he
bows himself almost double several
times to express his appreciation ot
your jiiilrotiige. He shouts his orders
to a do.Hti yoiingstt-M iu what neems
outlandish jurgon, but they understand
it and come rushiugin from some back
room o" "go down" which is the
word for warehouse here with bas
ket ii ud boxes full of rollsof the most
daint y fabrics. There is usually some
one about tiie place who tpeaks a little
liuglish and he is sent for. The mer
chant fits down ou the lloor, ntirolb

chief clerk pretends to ci plain to you
whst he i. saying. If he cannot show
eXHi'tly what you want he will ask th
houor of sending it to your house nnd
the interpret! r will usually bring it
tho next day. There is no limit to
the politeness and defi-rene-.' shown by
the Japanese tradesman, nud lie ex-
rsses the highest degree of respect j

The reason why drinking should not
acijiinpatiy eating, but be indulged in
hrlTe or afterward, is, in tim first
pluvc, because liquids nre foods us

It is not easy to say why this

asts were d.j'.ighted. The wind whis
tled, the sky was overcast utii1. Chese
were excellent conditions for the
pigeons, who are timid under ti verv
brilliant glare of sunlight.
The afternoon wus well employed,
watering the pigeons, attaching the
despatches to the winged messengers,
tilting the cages for fear of a shower
or eouutermurkiug them.
Night passed badly for the lauds
men but without a y dit.eomfort to
the pigeon, no one of whom suffered
from seasickness. V were all roused
nt three o'clock iu tho morning.
Kvery ouo wus on deck. Preparations
were inii.lo for loosening the one hun
dred kilometre pigeons at four. The
eiiges were brought out. The pigeons
seemed to know that the moment had
come. They showed every sign of im
patience. The doors were lowered.
What was going to happen?
The pigeons eiitue out of their tem
porary homes with an appearance of
htupctiietiot.. The spectators were
uncertain as to whether they would
leave the deck and settle ou the yard
iiriiis. There wus a great tluttering of
wings and lifleeu hundred pigeons
whirled into the air. Iu live minutes
they had disappeared.
At eight o'clock the second butch
was let loose under t he same condi
tions nt two hundred kilometres.
The Miinouliia cast anchor ut lielle
Isle. The sea was decidedly too rough
for the passengers. There still re
mained on board two thousand
pigeons to countermark and set loose
ut three hundred a ml live hundred
kilometres.
The tir.st known results were satis

return unerringly, but great Hocks of
them displayed wonderful sagacity.
Put two or three bewildered pigeons
alighted iu tho rigging. As to tho re
iniiiudtr, they look the homeward
route with n ti admirable precision,
and the pigeon houses were nlive and
noisy with tho returuiug messengers.

Western Kansas is eutirely unlike
Holland because of tho scarcity, al

the great abundance of windmills,
which nre becoming so nunierons as
to fill np the landscape. Iu the town
of Wilson a traveler counted seventy
two windmills in view from the hotel
