Dining is net in japan a Serie:is bustnes% The Anauese do not Weet to vet,
but eat hecauSe they bave Met, • and
cenversatiou and anteSeMents form tlie
principal part of a banquet. Coftversit-
tion need, not be held Wily with your
neighbors, for if a man 'wishes to speek
to a friend in anotner part of the room
he quietly slips tbe paper panel behind,
• him, passes into the veranda, enters
the room again end sits down op the
fleet' befere his friend. Exclianging
eups is the chlef ceremony at a Jape -
nese dinner. Sake, a 'spirit wade on
rice resembling dry sherry, is drunk
hot out of My lactnler and geld Ms
throughout dinner, and the in.usines..
Who sit en their heels in tbe open space
of the floor, patiently watch for every
opportunity to fill your cup with sake.
When a gentlemen would. exchange
cups, which is equivalent to drinking
your health, he sits down in freat of
you and begs the -honor. You enapty
your cup into a bowl of water, Wive it
filled with sake, drink, wash it again
tind hand it to your friend. He raises it
to Ms forehead, bows, hag it filled and
drinks. As this ceremony hag .to be
gone through a greet many times
drinking is often a mere pretense. Eat-
ing is, however, but a small part of the
entertainment. We must ne amused,
and to amuse is the busiuess of the
geishas, the licensed singing and danc-
ing girls who are attached to every tea-
house.
But the singers at a Japanese dinner
only take the part of the cnorus in a,
•Greek play, and they sing the story
which dancing girls represent or sug-
gest by a series of gestures or, pos-
tures. The dancers are splendidly
dressed, and their movements are so
interesting, so unlike anything seen in
Europe, that we watch them with a
curious sense of pleasure. .
"LOST MONDAY."
A Popular Fete Pay • In Belgium
Whose Origin Is a DIVIlterY. '
The first Monday after Epipbany is a
fete day throughout Belgium. "Lost
Monday" it Is called; exactly, why tie
one seems able to explain. The origin
of the fete is lost in the legends of the
middle ages, but the modern accepta--:
tion of the day is •certainly lost to Pe
one here. Like Mardi Gras, Lost Mon-
day is a day of general ,merrymaking.
Every cafe and restaurant in Brussels
keeps "open house," and free drinks
are on hand for all patrons of the es-
tablishment, and as a matter of fact
for many others as well -who are not
,
regular patrons.
On Black Monday, then, as it is iron
ically called by some of the natives
not overenchanteci with the day, the
-
streets of Brussels are given over to
the people, and the adventurZus. fon.
(signer, who; ignorant •of the -country's
customs, ventures out, - is ant to Ond
that the Belgian populace Is no respect- '
(sr of persons. On this 'day the shopireee'
ers, sighing behind their counters, find
themselves conipelled to 'hand over, to
their customers' servants a forced con-
tribution, amounting to a certain per .
centage of the year's, purchases, *bile
the bakers, too, have a centeibution to
offer in the shape. of 'cakes specially
made for the occasion and offered as
gifts to their clientele:" . • .
In this manner the unique fete is per-
petuated, though the calendar does not
note in any particular manner the Arst
Monday after Epiphany. •

A 'HOG'S MOVTH.
who war It ionoimei. the Animal to
Idat Iffiedbory Mute.
"People often wonder how it is that
a hog can $et all the kernel out of a
Ineltor,tr nut, or any other kind of nut
for that :natter, without wallowing
ay of the shell," said a Mae from the
ountry, "but as 4 matter of fact there
Is nothing mysterious about the proc-
ess. Mind you, hogs don't swallow any
of theee barder substances. They get
rid of them, and then it is just as easy
for them to get rid of the shell of a nut
as It le for a. man or A squirrel. You
• might think because a hog crushes
the nut into small fragments that he
would necessarily swallow a good por-
tion of the hull, But he doesn't do, any
such thing, •
"It Is a conceded fact among men
• who know anything about.tbe subject
that the horse le the most perfectly con.
Otructed animal in the world, consider.
Ing the purposes for which the horse is
used and its method and babits in life.
But I Want to put in a good word for
the hog wben it comes to the thing of
cracking and eating*nuts without get-
ting any of the 'harder substances into
'the stomach. The horse has very fine
• teeth. Theback teeth ParticularlY -are
finely constructed with a view of ena-
bling the horse to erush itS feed well
before passing It into the stomach.
These heavy grinders, heavily set in
' the horse's jaw, are looked upon as
,marvels. So they are.
"But . what's the matter withthe
teeth of the hog? What's the matter
with that marvelous process by which
they separate the kernel of the nut_
from the hull? It has occurred to me
that this is no Mail achievement, and
nature is at least entitled to some sort
of tribute for ber skill in making this
result possible, lit the first place the
hog's tongue is more sensitive than
would be supposed, and it can easily
detect the harder from the softer sub,
Stances. By some sort of process the
hog is able to work thetas of a hicko-
• ty mit •hull over to the sides •of its
mouth, the tongue being used for the
purpose, and here they are thrown out
at the corners, Probably you have no-
ticed that the corners of it hog'samuth

When a baby is coining the ex-
pectant mother needs to take special
care of herself, for upon her health
depands to a great extent the health
of the unborn babe. If diet, etc.,

life of the future offspring will not

to take liquid medicines at this time
for they all contain alcohol, Theii'
steady use has the same effect. as
habitual liquor taking, consuming the
vitality and hardening the tissues.
If you are weak you need a tonic,
not a stimulant. Don't take medi
