The native Inns of Japan offer sur
prises to the Occidental traveler. The
inn building is of Japanese architec
ture, of two stories, and generally
rambling, for a house which has been
at all prosperous will have had addi
tions made from time to time to ac
commodate the Increased patronage.
The front door is In the day time mere
ly a. panel with paper windows, which
is pushed aside to admit guests. Mine
host stands smiling In the aperture,
and If It Is winter a large brazier- Is
placed In the midst of the first apart
ment, which would correspond to the
office or exchange of one of our hotels.
The brazier contains small sticks of
charcoal, and gives forth little heat.
Several newly arrived Japanese trav
elers will generally be sitting about it
on cushions on the floor, chatting and
rubbing their hands over the tiny blaze.
Before entering you must sit down on
the step and take your shoes off, no
matter bow cold the weather, for the
tatami" (mats) of a Japanese Inn and
the polished floor are kept as imma
culately clean as a private house. When
the shoes are off and delivered to an
attendant, a little "amah," or maid,
leads you through the room on which
the front door opens, along passages
and by. several twists and turns, and
along corridors, possibly up a flight of
stairs, to the room which Is assigned
to you. It Is entirely empty of any
furniture. At one side is a tiny dais.
or wooden platfor.ni, on which may be
a carved stand, perhaps of teak wood,
and on it a vase with some plum blos
soms or green boughs, arranged ac
cording to the Japanese conventional
style of flower arrangement The only
other ornamentation in the room will
consist of a "kakemono" or two, with
pictures or writing on them. These
are the hanging scrolls that take the
place In Japan that our framed pic
tures do with us.
The walls- of the room are finished
In a soft green or brown, and the wood
work is left the natural color. - First of
all the "amah" brings out some flat
cushions for the guests to sit on; then
she ' brings a "hlbachi" from down
stairs, and puts In it lighted coals and
some fresh sticks of charcoal.- The
next thing is tea, and this Is daintily
served In little cups on bronze stands,
and with it some delicious cakes of
bean paste, or else wafers which fair
ly melt In your mouth. Now, If you
have arrived 4ate, comes the question
of supper. The meals in ' these Inns
are always served In your apartment.
There is no such thing as a general
dining-room, in this or in a private
house. ' J ' . - - -i-' - .-- :
There will be another long pause.
during which the room may be slightly
warmed by the heat from the brazier.
but when supper is brought and the
screen is thrust aside by the little maid.
the cold comes rushing in again. The
Japanese pay no. attention to cold air
and draughts, even In the dead of win
ter. The, maid kneels in the doorway
when she opens the screen, for It would
not be considered etiquette for any one
to enter a room standing. ' The meal Is
placed on a tiny wooden stand, often
beautifully lacquered, one stand ." for
each person, and all the courses are
placed on it together in beautiful little
dishes. Nothing is ever served with
more exquisite taste In the most luxu
rious American hotel than in the poor
est Japanese hostelry. Just as the most
poverty-stricken Japanese often live In
more aesthetic surroundings than many
of our rich people. - -
When it becomes dark the room Is
lit by a square paper lantern on a high
wooden stand. By the light the Japa
nese read and sew in the evenings.
though they , are gradually importing
and using many of our kerosene lamps,
which give a better light At bedtime
the "amah" goes to a sort of clothes
ress or chest of drawers set In the
side of the wall, and produces the bed,
which is simply a series of soft quilts
called "futons," and which are laid on
the floor, one on top of the other. Down
coverings are placed over these, and in
between the sleeper crawls. Sheets and
pillows such as we use must be brought
by the guest who requires them.
While the guests at a Japanese Inn
eat In the seclusion of their rooms, the
bath and washing arrangements are
public, -and here: one may encounter
any of the other guests of the house of
either sex while performing one's ablu
tions. To say the least this is . ex
tremely awkward, but It. Is according
to Japanese custom, and the same thing
is found in the private Japanese
houses.
atantly on the horse's back and fasten

tion, but there remained one more step,
and this was the training of the quick
horse. Not only must the engine and
the harness and the men and the horses
be ready, but the horses must be in the
harness at once the operation must be
as nearly Instantaneous as human In
genuity and brute Intelligence together
could contrive. In every fire-engine
bouse In the United States to-day,
therefore, we may see and admire the
"quick" horse, sleek-limbed, clear-eyed,
with an alert, intelligent air, standing
not far from the machine of which he Is
the moving power. '

Suddenly there Is a tinkling some

open doors the various machines fly.

views In astonishment an empty house.
It is like magic a wonderful "transfor

time required by the firemen of the old
en time to throw open the engine-house
doors, the complicated machines of to
day are throwing water on the flames.
and the brave firemen, having scaled
the building with the agility of acro
bats are dealing well-considered blows
against the fire foe.
In almost every city there is a prac
tice-drill at least once a day In the
engine-houses, and the visitor may
have an opportunity of Inspecting the
admirable development of the Amer
ican fire system and the fine horses so
splendidly trained. And he may also
have an opportunity at the same time
of lamenting that other branches of
.our public service are not conducted
with equal efficiency.

Cbana-ea la BpeUiaar that Have Marred
Their Meaning.
Commenting on the changes which
have been made In the orthography of
Indian names and the expressed be
lief that historians and literary people
have surrendered their right and duty
to maintain these verbal relics In their
purity, the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver
tiser says: The statement is true,
more's the pity. As the Indians have
no written language, their local names
were acquired by the whites by sound
only, and often by illiterate whites
who had little knowledge of the arts
of spelling and writing. For this rea
son there is little uniformity in the
orthography of Indian proper names.
Even the work of intelligent scholars
is open to the same objections.- The
vocabularies of Indian words In Ala
bama prepared by Schoolcraft, Galla
tin, Compere, Wright, Adair, Bartram
and others all differ in spelling, and
often in pronunciation, so much so
that sometimes It Is difficult to recog
nize a name when It goes through so
many changes.
The various Indian dialects were the
inost expressive of any in the world.
Every name was significant, whether
It was of an animate or inanimate ob
ject, and the name given plainly lndi
cated its meaning. Unfortunately the
sound as well as the orthography and
expression of many of our Indian
names have been sacrificed in .the ef
fort to simplify the words and to make
them conform to our system of spell
ing and writing the English language.
The general government, too, or the
Postoffice Department, has sacrificed
much of the euphony and meaning of
our Indian names in order to bring
about simplicity and uniformity. It
has accomplished this end, but , has
done it at the expense of meaning.
Many names of postofflces in Alabama
have no significance as now spelled.
but as they were originally written any
one familiar with Indian words would
know Just what was meant to be ex
pressed.
However, we must admit that Indian
words have not undergone - more
changes or modifications than . .have
many of the ' words taken from the
European or other old world languages
and dialects. The people of the Unit
ed States and the government itself are
formulating something like a language
of our -own, and if the change carries
with it a total hiding of the original
significance of many words, it must be
accepted as one of the results of the
march of progress. But we must be
permitted to express regret that so
many of our native names have been
improved entirely away from their
originals. , -
Jefferson at Seventy-two.
"In Florida, where Ponce de Leon
failed to discover the Fountain of Per
petual Youth, Joseph Jefferson seems
to have found It," declares James S.
Metcalfe, in the Ladles' Home Journal.
He Is a picturesque figure. - His ruddy
cheeks and bright eyes give the lie to
his 72 years. He is slender, but not
with the leanness of age. His hair,
mostly black, streaked only here and
there with gray, and in length showing
a wholesome contempt for the fine art
of the barber, blows about in the
breeze, r His. Angers are as quick and
deft at knotting a line or adjusting a
sinker as those of a boy on the banks
of a stream, and he enters Into every
detail with boyish - enjoyment. His
fishing' he alternates with landscape
painting, writing and the care of plants.
In none of these pursuits does he claim
professional skill, but he brings to
them something more than professional
zest Mr. Jefferson is a very abstemi
ous man. In eating, as in other things
except occupation in the open air he
evidently "believes in moderation as a
means to well living and long living.
He dS not join in our after-luncheon
smoke, stating that if he had not given
up tobacco a good many years ago he
felt sure that he would not.be with us
now. - Whatever the secret of his long
and useful life. It is safe to say that
every one of his countless friends and
admirers would be glad to lengthen itJ
