T illamook Playlig th« Role of Cousin Was Just to His Liking. Signs, Signals and Flags Used by the Various Companies. COLORS OF THE CIG FUNNELS In Som* Casts They Are Very Much Alike, but the Night Lights Used by ths Vessels of the Different Lines Are Quito Distinctive. In Ids university days Blsmao k was as Jolly aud laibMeious as tbe least promising youth of his generation. At- < ord I ng io the author of ’The M I*. l*’or Russia.” be enjoyed dancing and singing better than study and was as full of fun as his chosen cumpauiun. Count Kevserllng. was dettcient in it. and on lids diflereuce in temperament | bangs a tale. One day the shy and reserved Key- serling came to Bismurck in great agi- tatiun. “What is the matter?” demanded Bis ma rck. “Aly mother writes that an aunt and two cousins are coming for a week to Berlin, and. as they are very young and Inexperienced. I must go about everywhere with them, offering them all sorts of amusements. It is most annoying.” groaned Keyserling. ‘‘as I have to prepare myself for examina tions and have no time for pretty coun try cousins.” Plxinurck saw his chance and imme diately inquired: -Have you ever seen these young girls? Have they ever seeu you?” “Never in my life.” “(‘a pita I! Nothing could be better. Let me be Count Keyserllng for the time being. and you become simple Bismarck. You stay at home, and I shall become a first class cicerone dur ing all the time of their visit.” Ixe.vsfH’ling eagerly accepted the prop osition When rhe young ladies ar- rived. Bismarck met them as Keyser- ling and placed himself at their dis- posithm during ihelr stay tn Berlin. Ke-ser'lng buried himself in his books nr.d tin ught no more about it until the girls had gone home to the Baltic provln es. A week or two later he was discon certed by receiving a letter from home in which his mother expressed her great delight in hearing from the young ladles and their mother how Im mensely they had enjoyed themselves a rd how very agreeable and kind their cousin had been. "I a tn over joyed.” continued the fond parent, “to bear from their description that you have grown quite stout and robust during your stay at Berlin.” It la said that but comparatively few of the many thousands of persons that each year patronize the various lines of Hteamships crossing the Atlantic are familiar with the various distin guishing sigus and signal« employed by the vessels of the respective compa nies. Yet It is a very easy Xhlng to tell at a glance to what line any given ship belongs- the American line, for instance. About all that one must remember in the case of the vessels of our own line Is that the funnels are black, each with Its white baud. When you see an At lantic liuer at night with a blue light forward, a red light amidships and a blue light aft you know at once that she Is of the American line. All Cunarders show a red funnel with black rings and a black top. wblie the night signals consist of a blue light and two rotnan candles. each throwing out six blue balls. There are but two of the leading transatlantic lines the ships of which carry cream colored funnels—the North German Lloyd and the Holland-Amer le« lines. The first employs a perfect ly plain funnel without any other color than cream, and the latter shows a cream funnel with a white band and green borders. Signals displayed at night b.v these lines are. in the case of the North German IJoyd. two blue red lights, one forward and one aft. and. In the case of the Holland-America line, a green light forward and aft. with a white light under the bridge. Two lines use buff tunnels, the White Star and the Hamburg-American, the difference between the two being that, while the former shows a black top. the latter Is plain buff throughout. White Star night signals are two green lights flashed simultaneously. A COOK'S CREST.

One housewife in this towu doesn't know anything about the servant prob lem. at least bo much of it as has to do with the keeping of a maid of all work, the quality of such service not being counted.

Land Is so scarce in Japan and the people so numerous that a farm rarely consists of more than an acre or two. These little farms are divided up into tiny fields. During the reason of the year in which we made our Journey one of these fields was filled with sprout ing barley, light green in color: anoth er field, perhaps the next, with vetch, a lavender colored, cloverlike fodder; a neighboring field with a dark, green grass from the seed of which a lamp oil Is manufactured; another with the pale yellow flowers of the mustard, and scattered here and there fields filled with what looked like a variety of Illy, some white, some red. some yellow, but ail equally brilliant. Then to get the complete picture you must imagine patches of flowering azaleas dotting the roadside: towering, round topped camellia trees breaking tlie sky line with frequent splashes of bright green; usually in the shade of these trees houses with white plastered walls and red tiled roofs; about the more pretentious of these houses white plastered walls, above which appeared a profusion of palms, roses and strange native flowers, and in the doorways of the garden walls kimono clad Japa nese girls, the kimonos as many and as gayly colored as the garden that framed them. 1 have traveled In but one other country that Is so gayly colored, and that was some few years ago. when.
