PASCINQ and repassing through
tho struotB of Toklo aro ven
derB of every description. Ear
ly lu the morning one's slum
ber Is disturbed by their plain
tive cries, and should tho window of
the house loot upon a thoroughfaro,
there may bo seen through tho HUdarl
a countless procession of hawkors, but
they do not need to bo seen to bo
ri'rognlzcd, for their characteristic
cries echo and re-echo from morning
until night.
Take the olchlnl, for lnstanco, tho
strolling medlclno vendor. Often bo
Is a musician with a tuneful accor
dion. Envious glances may bo cast at
his red and white epaulettes, his uni
form and his cap. Many a youth, says
the Japan Advertiser, might consldor
It tho height of ambition to bo ablo
to go about tho city In just tho samo
manner and win smiles from all tho
young womon In tho streets through
which ho passes. Dut tho olchlnl has
all he can do to make his dally bread,
and his lot is often very hnrd indeed.
Tho conter for tho distribution of
this medlclno Is at the merchant's
house, which Is situated on tho llttlo
Island off Tauklji, Tsukljlma. Tho ap
plicant who wishes to bocomo a trav
eling apothecary must pay 5 yon as
a guarantee to bo faithful to tho mas
ter. Tho next day he Is given a cap,
a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes.
In addition ho receives medlclno to
the value of 7 yen, and his breakfast
Is supplied every morning. For his
UMDRLLLA MANUrACTURtRb ADVE2.T15MLNT
other moala ho must shift for himself
and eat them in whatever part of
Tokio ho flndB himself when ho bo
comes hungry.
All tho venders must assemble at
tho master's house In the morning
and bo ready to start out by 8 o'clock
for the 803 streets of Toklo. Tho
clchlni sings a song which has for
conclusion tho expression olchlnl, or
ono, two, keeping stop to tho music of
an nccordlon nnd walking stately and
slowly. Whenever tho street gamlnB
hear his song they run nfter the olchl
nl. Just as tho rats ran after the mad
piper of Hamelln.
Song an Advertisement.
Ills song 1b an advertisement of his
medicine It is d I 111 cult to learn and
often tokos several days beforo tho
vendor can master It. If ho Is not a
success at singing tho song he will bo
ot no account as a vender, for tho
Becret ot hlB popularity lies lu his ren
dering of tho peculiar melody.
Whon you hear tho Ita-uya, or ro
pitlrer of bamboo pipes, in tho neigh
borhood, It Beams as though a min
iature locomotive wns lotUng off
cleans, for ono peculiarity of tho Ita
uyit's trade 1b a cart which has In It
a llttlo furnaco, a steam vent ovor
which the pipe Is placed lu clean it
thoroughly on tho Insldo, and also
through tho roof of tho cart a steam

For tho privilege of pushing his cort

a Jong nppronUceshlp to know all tho

not accustomed to thla kind of mend
ing can bo a bucccbb, Tho number of
Ra-uya is steadily on tho decrease.
Curious Thank Offering.
Tho propriotor of a prinUisg press
at Ratbtus has chosen a remarkable
way ot expressing his feelings at tho
viceroy's cecapo. Ho Informs tho
public that "as an humble expression
ot gratitude nnd extreme pleasuro for
tho nt)ovo mentioned divine boon to

edged by tho private socretary of the

His Regret.
"I nccoptod an InvitaUon to hear her
Blng last week, and now abo baa lost
her volco."
"And you nro glad you accepted tho
invitation T"
"No, 1 ara sostj i didn't yut it ost
(or a week."
perhaps because there aro fewer and
fewer old-fashioned peoplo now who
use this kind of pipe.
In tho old Ycdo days tho trado wao
u brisk ono and tho Itn-uya ran
through tho street, two baskets slung
at the ends of a polo across his
shoulders and his cry was a most fa
miliar ono. Now ho Is minus tho
baskets nnd the cry, but tho cart and
tho steam whlstlo have taken their
pluco, Then, loo, so many peoplo to
day smoko cigars and cigarettes that
tho Iln-uya finds his old bamboo pipes
low and far botweon. According to
statistics, thoso who uso ' tho plpo
have decreased ono-half in tho past
ton years. It is a sad commentary on
tho passing of many old-stylo peoplo.
In Tokio thoro nro about fifteen
merchants who soli tho bamboo for
tho pipes, and tho Chinese bamboo Is
conBlderod tho best. This business
cannot bo carried on when it Is rainy,
as tho repairing must bo dono out of
doors. The Ra-uya must bo oxaminod
by tho officers In his district twlco a
year.
Must Keep Moving.
If his cart passes the examination
ho may continue hlB work Ho charges
threo sen to replace a plpestcm, and
ho must uso about ten sen worth of
charcoal a day, so that tho profits ac
cruing aro often very small. This
buslncna is practically limited to old
men. They tnko off the sliver or brass
bowl and mouthpiece and put In a new
bamboo stem, then clean tho whole
by steam and polish the metal until It
seems as good as new.
Another pcrsonago among tho street
morchantB is tho Amazake-ya. His
cry, Amnl, Amal! Sweet, Sweet! Is so
suggestive of swoot things that tho
cry brings tho children from overy
qunrter. Tho men who ply this trndo
aro gonorally old. They form ono of
Toklo's picturesque street elements
with their two largo red lacquered
boxes on either end of a shoulder polo.
Amazisko is sold to tho stroet retail
ors from thirteen wholesale merchants
who thus Hupply the trade.
An applicant who wishes to enter
this business goes to the merchant
with a person who acts as a guaran
tor, and borrowing the outllt, which
consists of tho aforesaid red boxes, 1b
almost ready to set forth on his trav
els Hut ho must buy his own clothes,
which conulst of coo 11 o ncthor, gar
ments and a blue cotton coat with
tho advertisement of his 'trado in
white chnrncters on Ub lapels and a
Chlncso character for Amazako on his
bank
He must also be fitted out with an
Iran pot for boiling tho sweet liquid.
His red boxes contain tho hlbaschl
and the heavy pot. nlbo charcoal,
drawers, trays and cups.
It Is very hard for an old man to
carry two such heavy boxes, and tho
AmajEnko-yo Ib often taken with a do
uliu to rest by the wayside. Hut this
Is agaltiBt tho law, and if the polico
mnn catches sight ot him he Is told to
movo on In the poltto langungo of
Kora! Kora! Sometimes ho 1b fined
from 20 sen to ono yeu for thus loiter
ing on his way.
Protection Against Bores.
Paly, the theologian, had an Ingen
ious method of warding off tho tlmo
waster. When thinking out a problem
ho botook hlmsolf to tho river bank
with a Ashing rod, Ho nevor really
Ashed, but ho found that peoplo who
thought nothing of disturbing his
thought would koep nt a dlatanco bo
as not to disturb tho AbIs. To gtve
color to tho ruse ho had his portrait
pnlnted with Ashing rod In hand.

Tho beauty of work depends upon
tho way wo meet It whether wo nrns

HANDICAP TO PLAYERS
Stars Who Suffered Because of
Size of Their Digits.
Cy 8eymour Found Great Difficulty
In Controlling Ball Because Hla
Handa Were So 8mall Camp
bell Another Victim.
It wao tho small size ot hlB hands
which kept Cy Seymour from being a
great pitcher. When he first Joined the
Now York Giants, many years ago, he
camo as a twlrler, but ho found tho
greatest difficulty In securing control
of tho ball, becauso his hands are so
small that ho could not get his fingers
all tho way around tho Bphcro. Cy
wns finally forced to glvo up pltchlnr
entirely and go to the outllcld, where
his hitting, rather than IsIb flrJdlng,
kept him In tho game for a long period
of years
Vlncont Campbell, tho fast center
floldor of tlw .HpBtons, lust senson, has
the samo handicap as Seymour In re
gard to tho slzo df his hands. Casnp
boll's mitts are far below the average
In longth nnd diameter, and tho muffed
files which he Is guilty of nro tho re
sult of this physical handicap, to a
great extent. He Is nlso not so good a
thrower as ho would bo If his hands
were a bit more bulky. Campbell,
howovor, ployed better ball last season
lhan over before.
Vlncont Is a speed marvel, no ono
excelling him In getting down to first
baBo. Hut he has two weak points In
offensive work. Ho Is a very poor
waiter, and so does not get on noarly
so often as he would if he wua ablo to
force tho pitcher to pitch to him.
His great speed makes him a hard
man to stop In the bases, but he Is not
on there so much as ho would be If he
could develop tho habit of waiting to
better advantage. Campbell hits 15
points higher than Dob Hescher, but
tho extra bases on balls secured by
tho Redleg were more valuable than
the extra hits made by the Boston gar
dener. ,
Owing to his inability to wait, Camp
bell went to bat moro times officially
than any other player In tho National
league last year. He was charged
with C24 times at bat, and no other
player reached the GOO mark, though
1G of them played in as many or moro
games than he did. This is a serious
wenknoss In a lead-off man, who
should bo on base more often by tho
pass route. Campbell, in splto of his
great speed, is not a very clevor base
runner. While Deschor wns stealing
G7 bases last year Vincent was copping
JuRt 19, both men playing in exactly
tho same number of games.
JOHNSON NOW HOLDS RECORD
Washington Speed King Ends Sensa
tional Run When St. Louis Scored
Run Off His Delivery.
Walter Johnson, Washington's star
pitcher, is the official holder of tho
major league record for pitching con
secutive scoreless Innings, winding up
his great run nt St. Louis recently,
when he added three and ono-thtrd
Innings to his work. The Browns
scored on him in the fourth Inning.
Johnson now holds the record at 50
innings.
Johnson's teammates claim this 1b a
major league record for shutouts, and
so far a3 known It Is. Record books
crediting Doc White of tho White Sox
with '56 innings nnd Jack Coombs of
Walter Johnson.
tho A,thlotlcs with 53 Innings have
beon proved Incorrect, making au
thentic Information concerning previ
ous performances of this kind diffi

runlesB Innings has been verified nnd
found correct. All other claims nro
more or less open to doubt.

For Commencement Day.
I find that many of tho schools
have commencement exercises very
late in June and I have so many re
quests from teachers of small district
schools who aro remote from lnrgo
towns and yet nro moro than anxious
to have creditable closing days. This
llttlo scheme is very pretty and not
difficult to work out. It 1b called
"Childhood's Happy Year." Select
four girls about tho samo ago and
size to form each "season." Mako
tho costumos from crepe paper and rep
resent "spring" by green frocks with
wreaths of green about the head;
"summer" with white frocks and
crowns and roses, either real or arti
ficial, and gowns trimmed with gar
lands of small roses; "Autumn"
should have brown dresses with fall
leaves In red and brown tints, and
"Winter" all white with holly wreaths
and mistletoo, or red dresses trim
med in cotton
"Spring" should enter Arst and
march to the front of platform and
sing tho Arst verso of tho following
song, which Is easy to sing to the
tune of "Swinging 'Neath the Old Ap
ple Tree" At tho end of tho lines,
two of tho girls turn to tho right nnd
two to tho left and march down the
sides Joining at the back in -a lino.
"Summer," "Autumn" and "Winter"
follow, a group at a tlmo sing their
verse und inarch as did "Spring" and
take their places at tho back behind
tho preceding "season." This retains
"Spring" at the front, and then all
join hands, forming a circle, and sing
tho chorus through and march off In
single Ale, "Spring" leading. It is
really very effective.
Happy Childhood's hours,
With the budding Aowers,
With the warbling songsters
In lojify trees;
When tho earth rejoices,
Glad we Join our voices,
Happy in tho spring wo nre.
CHORUS.
Happy Childhood! Happy Childhood!
Singing all tho day right merrily;
Happy Childhood! Happy Childhood!
Happy all tho year are wo.
In tho summer weather,
Glad we are together,
Chasing little butterAies
While on the wing;
Ringing 'round o' rosles.
Gathering sweetest posies,
Happy in tho summer as in spring.
CHORUS.
When tho winds aro sighing
And tho loaves aro dying
Opening prickling burrs

CIIORUS.
A Spinster Shower for "Polly."
"Polly" had at last succumbed to
Cupid's wiles and tho spinster club
to which she belonged resolved to do
tho proper thing In way of n shower.
Tho invitations were on green card
board, lettored In yellow. They were
so pretty that It wns some tlmo beforo
tho recipient realized they were sup
posed to represent Jealousy.
Each guest took a dainty tea cup
and Baucer, tho hostess providing tho
pot. All were asked to bring their
thimbles. Tho work provided by tho
hostess was a varloty of tea towels.
Then tho hostess requested tho bride
elect to make n cup of tea nR a fare
well to tho other spinsters. Tho maid
brought In a tray with tho cups and
saucers, each cup bearing a black
cat shaped card on which tho donor's
nnme, and a sentiment were Inscribed
In white Ink. I forgot to suy, these
cat cards were enclosed with the Invi
tations, and the cups were nil sent to
tho hostess tho day before tho shower.
Every ono said It was a most unique
wny of giving a Bhower.
An "S" Supper.
Some years ago this "S" supper
wao given to vary tho monotony of
the ordinary church supper. It was a
success, and I copy tho menu for
others who may like to try It. Tho
card at the top said, "Supper Sched

Gloves for Trains.
To mo and my commuting friends
this Idea has proven of inestimable
value, writes a contributor to the La
dles' World. When having to take a
dirty train trip In going to a reception,

gloves by wearing a pair of short, thin,
white silk gloves over my kid ones.
The silk gloves appear like kid when
