Japs Favor -Friendly Relations. Despite alarmist reports of impend ing trouble with Jniian growing out of the San Francisco episode, the Japan Society of America, which was organ ized during the visit of Gen. Kuroki to New York, continues its work of pro moting friendly political ar.d commer cial relations between the two coun tries. The latest step has been to send two of Its members. "Mr. B. 8. X.

Tno plan is to have an interchangeable membership, after the manner of the two bi’anches of the Pilgrim Society in New York and London.

Curious Shapes in Buildings. The enormous prices to wnich New York real estate has risen withjn the last few years has been responsible for many curious structures to take advantage of small or oddly shaped lots. Of these Flatiron building is the best known. Plans have just been filed with the building department, how ever, for the erection of a structure on what is classified in the permit appli cation as “the smallest lot in Man hattan.” which is at the southeast cor ner of Delancey and Norfolk streets. This lot is 100 feet deep and only two and a half feet wide. As the space is hardly large enough even for the com pressed quarters of a metropolitan flat, the owner has decided to erect on it a huge brick wall, thirty-five foot high, a foot thick, and reinforced with buttresses to make It steady. This novel structure will cost J3.000, and How Oxford Celebrates. From the Chicago News. That Oxford students occasionally conduct themselves as roughly as American boys, or more so, is proved by the following from the London Times of recent date: "The bonfires to celebrate victories gained In the eights last week led to serious damage and collision with the police. Not since 1849 has Christ Church been head of the river, and a huge bonfire was lighted in a meadow adjoining the broad walk shortly before 10 o’clock on Wednesday flight. Gradually the fuel available grew less, and then a large body of undergraduates made their way in the direction of the ground where the grand stand had been erected for the Oxford pageant. This was only a .short distance off, but the river intervened.

In addition, belew will be placed awnings and the the = round was patrolled by a force of * police,, there-having been persistent rumors that an attempt would be made to fire the grand stand. The Ox ford volunteer fire brigade with a steamer .was also on the ground. “The undergraduates, however, ob tained a number of punts and landed on various parts of the ground. The efforts • of the police were directed to saving the grand stand. A large hut used as a temporary office was cut down and immediately set on fire, and chairs from the grand stand, planks and any articles which could be ob tained were thrown on the fire, while the police were bombarded with fire works and assaulted, sticks being U3ed by the undergraduates and the con stables replied with their trancheons. Several men had their teeth knocked out. Attempts were made to burn the stand by hurling 'fireworks on the root. These' were, however, speedily extinguished by the fire brigade. "A powerful stream of water was turned on the crowd, hut the under graduates made a rush for {he base, which in a short time was cut in sev eral places. An attempt to fire the wooden bridge opposite the broad walk was defeated.- but a smaller bridge for horses on the other side of the ground was destroyed. Until nearly midnight undergraduates walked about the ground discharging- fireworks. The damage is estimated to amount to up ward of 300 pounds (Jl.SOO!)

A spring or-summer vegetable soup need have no meat in it. Few know how very advantageous it is to have the vegetables fried lightly before sim mering them for soup. Suppose you wish a nice Julienne soup—then take equal amounts of tufnips, celery, car rots, onions and leeks. After they have been washed and scraped, c»t them in inch lengths, and divide into small strips about an ajghth of an inch in thickness. If you have somewnat over a pound of these prepared vegetables, put four rounding Y&felesppomj of but ter In a atewpaft, and ’cook the vegeta bles Ui it-until lightly colored. Add salt and p.ep^er, and a quart of warm water. Left It come up slowly to a bell and simmer gent^, for at most, three hours. Chervil is not as cbmmonly used as parsley, but it Is very nice in this soitp, so add sothe, ivith shredded lettuce leaves, and some sorrel, about an ounce of the lettuce and sorrel, and half as much of the chervil, or parsley, during the last part of the time It is cooking. If you buy some globe, or thistle, ar tichokes and wish to cook them !n some nice way. then try -team iMth an onion and choose filling. If you do not uHsh 'to afford the fresh ones, the nice canned oneh are very cheap at the foreign stores. Fry a little onion, which has been minced fine, in some ’butter, without letting it color brown.* ’ Thicken It with a little flour, and tftjc with slock, or hot watjrr. to a good consistency, pass It through a small sieve or strainer, and use it to fill the hollows of the artichoke bottonjs.

It will not go to the winner of the match but to the newspaper rep resented by the winner, tot remain in Its custody until the next match, when it is to be returned to the National Rifle Association to be again contested for. The names of the winner and the newspaper represented will be en graved on fae trophy each year. In addition to the* trophy, which carries with it the press rifle championship of the United States, there will :be an in dividual trophy to be presented by "Arms and the Man” as first prize, a life membership in the National Rifle Association as second prize, together with several cash prizes. This match is open only to bona fide newspaper men, and the conditions provide for ten shots at 500 yards with any military rifle and any ammunition. Accommo dations will be-provided for all con testants. The executive committee of the Na tional Rifle Association has decided the manner in which tests will be made for places on the team which will repre sent the United States in the interna tional contest for the Palma trophy, which will be shot at the Rockcliffe range, Ottawa. Canada, on September 7. > Lieut.-Col. N. B. Thurston, of New York, will be captain of the team. He is exceptionally well qualified for this position, having been captain of the New York team for many years, which team .has been victorious In a large number of hard fought, interstate con tests. Col. T.iurston ls noted for his abilities as a coach and is one of the foremost authorities of the country on riflle shooting. The remaining officers of the team will be appointed by the exectulve committee On recommenda tion of the captain. A preliminary contest for places on the team will be held at Camp Perry, Ohio, on August 16 and 17. Contest ants must furnish a statement from the adjutant-general of their State or other competent authority that they have at tained during the present year a record in proactice or competition of at least 95 per cent at 800 yards. 90 per cent at 900 yards and 85 per cent at 1.000 yards In a string of consecutive shots. In addition to the'scores made in the two days’ contest, there will be added those scores in the Wimbledon cup match, the "Leech cup mate;” and the "President’s match," all being individ ual matches of the -National Rifle As sociation and to be shot during the week beginning August 19 at Camp Perry. From the aggregate of a'll these scores the team will be selected—nine on basis of the highest aggregate and three .by the exectrtlve committee, making twelve in all. of whom four will be alternates. Of the twelve, the eight men to shoot on the team will be selected by the team captain after pre liminary practice on the Canadian range. From August*2S to 31 the team will be trained on the Ohio range and will be then taken to Canada for four days’ practice previous to the interna tional match which will be shot on the 7th. In the preliminary contests the cone3tants will use (heir own rifles, but new ones will be supplied the team by the National Rifle Association for use In the match. The International contest for the Palma trophy will ex cite the widest interest, as it will be compete^ for by teams composed of the best riflemen of England. Canada and the United States.

His name we do not readily recall at this moment. Lincoln had briefly noted his thoughts on a stray scrap of paper. The words flowed naturally, simply, pellucid, each a shining drop of pure Anglo-Saxon that sparkled like a diamond as it fejl. It made a prose poem, scarcely tne length of a sonnet, yet epic in its grasp and greatness.* " ’His name we do not readily recall at this moment’—this of the orator of the occasion, who had doubtless made elaborate preparation for it. His words have ’gone down to nothingness and night.’ while the simple, natural sen tences of Lincoln will live forever.’’- The orator of the day was Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, statesman, orator, preacher, editor of the North American Review, Governor of Massa chusetts, member of Congress, minister to England, president of Harvard Col lege. Secretary of State in Fillmore’s Caibinet. Senator from Massachusetts, nominee for Vice-President in 1860 of the Constitutional Union party, and the Intimate friend of Sir "Walter Scott When he delivered the address of the day at Gettysburg. November 19. 1863. he was 70 years old. He died fourteen months later, January 15. 1865. His address was a finished oration, with a peroration that brought a storm of ap plause. Lincoln had written -his ad dress. and delivered It in a voice which not many heard. It was as follows: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this conti nent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great CiVil War, test- whether that nafon or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have «me to dedicate a portion of tbat field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether -fitting and proper that we should do tthts. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have conse crated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little not, nor long remember, what we say "here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us. the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to 'be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us: that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion: that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain: that this nation under God shall have a new 'birth of freedom, and that Gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” W-hen Mr. Lincoln had finished. Mr. Everett declared that while the elabo rate address which he had delivered would be soon forgotten. Mr. Lincoln's would live as a masterpiece of English and eloquence. Mr. Everett seems to have been correct. Two well informed newspapers confess they have forgot ten the name of the principal speaker on that occasion. Mr. Everett was a scholar, a graduate of Harvard, a stu dent in English and German universi ties. a highly polished, cultured gentle man of wide learning and refining as sociation. while Mr. Lincoln’s education was obtained in a log school house, by the cabin firelight, among men and amid nature. N-o finer letter was ever written than the one he wrote to the mother of five sons who died in battle; It is as follows: "I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must 'be any words of mine which would attempt to beguile you from your grief for a loss so overwhelming —but I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation which may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I. pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the an guish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and the lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.” This letter is a gem—marred by the expression, “I have been shown”—an error common with many writers. This letter and his Gettysburg speech estab lished Mr. Lincoln’s reputation as a master of expression. What Women Do For a Living. That the four million women work ers in the United States are engaged in no less than 292 distinct occupations will be surprising news to some, says Harper's Weekly. No women natur ally, are reported as. United States sol diers, sailors, or marines; nor were any reported as members of the fire department, or as stret car drivers (though two were reported as motor- men), or as telegraph and telephone linemen, or as apprentices or helpers | to roofers and slaters, or as helpers to steam-boiler makers or to brass-work ers.
