< CUSTOMS OF THE MIKADO. r~ 'fhe Japan*** Ruler,* Method* of Dealing With Minister* and People. His Majwty’s daily customs nrc very regular. He always po p * to his stuffy at 9 a. rn. and remains at work there until A p. ni. Ho roarls and signs all parliamentary laws and decrees. When a Cabinet Minister addresses Ids Majesty about any public matte.-ha Inquire* about the subject, the purpose and condition, and decides It. He is flrm and not changeable. When he de- eides a matter once he cannot after that be moved. At the beginning of Matsukata’s Cab- ln«t Parliament decided to reduce the aalariea of the Cabinet Ministers and other Government officers. The Prime Minister, Count Matsukata, addressed bis Majesty about It. His Majesty did Hot consent and he said: “Many officers cannot live upon a fixed salary. Borne Cabinet Ministers have been obliged to borrow money, and I ad¬ vanced money from my treasury to support them. If the present Cabinet Ministers re-lain their pot-,it ions by bor¬ rowing money all Cabinet Ministers, therefore, cannot do ko. Therefore I cannot consent to the reduction of salaries." Count Matsukata retired from His Majesty. However, the Cabinet once more debated ihe question with the Count, and Matsukata went again to consult tihe Emperor His Majesty was not Inclined to see him again, and sent an attendant to say to lilm: "I have already commanded about the reduction of salaries. 1 cau- not see you any more.” The salaries wei-e, therefore, not re¬ duced. Ills Majesty understands the condi¬ tion of the lower classes, and familiar¬ izes himself with the private conduct of the Cabinet Ministers. When lie reads newspaper articles relating to the pri¬ vate misconduct of any Cabinet Minis¬ ters and attacking him, his Majesty sometimes smiles. Jils Majesty Is fond of reading books and newspapers. He is especially fond of German books He likes (o compose Japanese poems, which he can do very readily. His ability in that respect is much admired by ids attendants. ills Majesty dislikes all pretense and hypocrisy. When It has been reported to bis Majesty that some of his subjects have given their lives in lime of flood or earthquake to preserve his Majesty's picture, he has been much touched; but he Is anxious to i.iscourage ills subjects from such quixotism, and to preserve them from anv but necesenry danger. Withal (he Emperors life is a very liappy and peaceful one, blessed by the love and respect of grateful subjects; nmi when his Majesty makes a tour anywhere 111 Japan without Ms guards lie is lu no danger, but la received everywhere with reverence and joy.

"A year ago last fall,” said the professor, 'T broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no relief, and also used many different pro¬ prietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. I then succumbed to a seige of tbe grip in the middle of winter, and was left In a much worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very poor. I was Indeed in a bad condition. "A minister in conference learning of my condition advised me to tried Dr. Williams' f'lnlt Bills for Tale People.

Shields, about thirty-five, residence unknown. D. H. Thompson, Dayton, Wash. John R. Cooper, Wellsville, Utah. J. Stefen, Dillon, Mont. Five unknown men, all sheep shear¬ ers beating tlieir way.

He was one of a party of excursion¬ ists who went up with the conductors to picnic at the falls. He was fishing a minute before he met his death. A stiff breeze was blowing at the time. When at one of the highest points of the cliff’ the hat of Clower blew off toward the edge of the stream and in endeavoring to regain it he lost his balance and fell in a tumbled heap into the rapid flowing waters beneath.

A Nashville dispatch says: TheTen- nessee state treasury is empty and every day warrants are being turned down for want of money with which to pay them, There are now over $">0,000 of war¬ rants outstanding and by July 1st, when the semi-annual interest of $220,000 is due the state will be some¬ thing over $300,000 behind. The funding board has authority to borrow’ money to meet the July inter¬ est and the legislature restored the tax iate to 40 cents in an amendment to the revenue bill. The bill amending the revenue bill, however, was signed by Governor Tay¬ lor before the revenue bill itself and the question has been raised as to the validity of the 40-cent rate. Unless it s tands the people will be afflicted with an extra session of the legislature. TURNED DOWN BY REED. Cuban liesoliition In the House Declared Out of Order. There was an attempt to bring for¬ ward the Cuban question in the house Thursday. As soon as the journal had been read Mr. Lewis, democrat, of Washington, shouted “a question of privilege,” and sent to the clerk’s desk a resolution for the recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans. The resolution having been read, Mr. Reed promptly declared it out of order. From this ruling Mr. Lewis appealed. On a roll call the speaker was sus¬ tained, there being 88 to 51; present and not voting, 17, and he announced “no quorum.” Immediately Air. Dingley moved to adjourn, and with several democrats shouting for recognition, the motion was carried by a party vote, and, at 12:55 p. m., the house adjourned until Monday.

He predicted that the democrats would sweep Ohio this fall. The large number of delegates pres¬ ent and the prominence of many of them hitherto in the republican party points to a great bolt of republicans this year on the silver issue.

If people lived right they would be well. Sunshine, air, exercise, fun, good food—plenty and not too much—are the best medicines, the natural ones; but men are tied to their desks, and women to their home cares, and both are t:ed to fash¬ ion. Civilized existence is artificial and needs artificial regulators. I recommend Ripans Tabules—and take them myself. 1 know they are both harmless and effective. (I know what they are Made of.)
