JAPANESE THRIFT
SHOWN IN SPARING
ICE CONSUMPTION
" Ily (Turence Avman.
(By United Press to The Daily Bulletin)
NEW YORK. Dec. 21. "Kori
kori" means ice, and that's all the
Japanese an American traveling in
the Orient need know. The rest
will take care of itself because Eng
lish is the commercial languago
there and any Oriental business man
or hotel clerk who has not a smat
tering of our tongue can hare no
dealings with the American tourist.
On a hot day, which is every day,
we looked fbr the Japanese short
hand sign, translated "Drinks sold
, here." Appearing over the door of
nearly one-third of the stores in any
little town this sign can be seen two
blocks away. Drinks on sale in
clude mineral water, "Tan-San";
beer, a poor variety; and what
would correspond to our American
"pop," all lukewarm.
At our cry of "Korf-kori," the
young lady in the kimono dWed into
a strong box and emerged with a
piece of ice, slightly larger than the
loaf of sanitary sugar found here on
restaurant tables, carefully unwrap
ped and washed it, and then put the
ice under a shaving machine. It
was quite a ceremony, and curious
children gathered to witness the
performance.
All railroad tickets are printed
one side in Japanese and the other
in English. - Signs in Japanese and
English announce the name of the
station, and there is even a sign
board reading, "The principal points
of interest here are ."
. It is said that the lack of linguist
ic facility of the average English-,
man is the reason he refuses, to
learn the tongues of other people,
and hence all nations have to learn
his. On our way to Yokahama
there were twenty-six nationalities
on the ship, each person practising
English on the other. It was the
only way they could converse in
common. At Kobe a fat, uncom
fortable Russian was trying his best
to explain to a Japanese secret serv
ice man just why be left the army.
The conversation had our own lan
guage sounding like Sam Bernard
and Weber and Fields discussing the
high cost of living.
There is quite a bit of faking
about Japanese proficiency in Eng
lish. Everybody in hotels and
shops says he understands, but fre
quently his sole acquaintance with
4he language is "Yes" and "No."
We did run across a waiter who
knew two more words, "Never
wind." Given quite an explanation
from six persons at our table as to
how they wanted their eggs he list
ened gravely to 'each; then said
blandly, "Never mind," and brought
them in soft boiled all around.
Reaching Yoshida at' 4 one after
noon, it being necessary to travel on
to Lake Shojl immediately in or-.
der to catch Bteanier train, wo told
the proprietor of the Inn that wo
wanted two carriages.
"Yes," he answered. An hour
passed and two coolies showed up
with our bnggogo on their should
ers. "Are the carriages coming?" wo
asked, as It had begun to rain, and
we thought of Lake Shojl twelve
miles away.
"Y'es," he answered. After anoth
er half hour's watt tho host started
bowing us out. Just then a young
Japanese, home from Dartmouth
college, appeared. We explained
our predicament. After a short
talk with the hotel proprietor ho
said:
"He hasn't any carriage; ha ex
pects you to wulk."
But we dldnt; wo rode tho twelve
miles In chairs. '

The president touched a bell that

Weddings In China are arranged by
"go-betweens" usually the busy old
gossips of the district who get a com
mission on the amount paid by the
bridegroom to the father of the bride.
On tile wedding day the bride Is clad
in red and carried in a Bed an chair
covered with red. Anybody bus a
right to turn .back the chair curtains
and take a look at her. Her hair .is
elaborately oiled, and so all the other
girls throw hayseeds at her, which
stick. On reaching the homo of her
husband the bride has to submit to the
candid criticisms of the entire family.
The strange, wedding ceremony con
sists In the husband and wife eating
rice from each other's bowl. Of course
there Is a feast, but It (laps not cost
much, for every guest is expected to
contribute something.
SHE ANSWERED NAPOLEON.
And Her Brave Reply Subdued tha An
gry Conquaror.
Napoleon, the rough and ruthless con
queror, considered women as of no Im
portance in nut loan I affairs, and he
was always resentful of their luterfer.
eucc. Ilut in at least ono Instance ot
record, as a recent writer has pointed
out. It was otherwise.
When, after the battle of Jena. Napo
leon entered Weimar ho proceeded to
the palace of the duke to niako It bis
hcudiiarters. The fighting and plun
dering In the town were not yet over
wiieu, toward evening, he entered the
hall. As he did so Hie duchess, who
bad Wen waiting In her apartment,
appeared at tho lop of the great stulr
case to greet blm.
'"Who are you?" ho demanded rough
ly. In surprise.
"I em tho Duchess of Weimar," she
replied, with dignity.
"I pity you!" he cried fiercely. "1 am
going to crush your husband!"
The next morning when they met
again ho Inquired, with brusque displeasure:
"Madame, how could j our linsbnnd be
so mad as to mako war against me? '
"Your majesty would have despised
him if he had hot," was the reply.
"How so?" asked NajKleon.
"My husband has been In tho sen-Ice
of the king of Prussia upward of thir
ty years." replied tho duchess. "Hurely
It was not at the moment that the King
hnd so mighty an enemy as your
majesty to contend against that the
duko could abandon Id in."
An answer at once so spirited, noble
and tactful softened even Napoleon's
arrogance. In the conversation that
followed the duchpss was able to securo
promises of consideration for the duko
ond relief for the townspeople. At tho
close of It the compieror said to her,
"Madame, you are moro worthy of re
spect than any woman I liava known.
Von have saved your husband. I pur
don blm, but remember It is wholly on
your account As for him, be is a bad
cose !"
That was merely Napoleon's opinion,
Tho duke, at any rate, was properly ap
preciative of his duchess, for when tho
document that secured the independ
ence of Weimar was brought to him
by a French general he refused to takn
It Into his bands, but said simply,
"Give It to my wife, the emperor In
tended It for her." Youth's Companion.

Old Tim Oratory Unpopular.
The definition of "orntoi-y" Is diffi
cult but In the public- mind that form
of public speaking called "oratory" Is
cither amusing or offensive. It Is sug
gestive of the mouthing and ranting of
some old time tragedian who roared
and bellowed on the stage. . The public
of today will stand for eloquence
which bean the mark of sincerity, but
tho old form of "oration" with gestures
of practiced grace, frequent allusion to
Greek and Roman history and plentiful
quotations from the poets no longer
stirs men to great depths or heights.
