Even though the<lb />elite of the profession be engaged,<lb />you may gain admission to the in-<lb />closure for 6 cents, which, when sil-<lb />ver is on the best of bimetallic<lb />terms, do not represent a threepenny<lb />bit. But should you have any pre.<lb />tensions te ~~gentilityTT you must<lb />ppend $1 in purchasing the lease-<lb />hold of a box, something like a<lb />miniature sheep pen, in which you<lb />squat with as much comfort to<lb />yourself as may be. The boxes<lb />around you are filled with the Jap.<lb />anese bourgeois, with a few women<lb />and children, who are consuming<lb />sweetmeats and watermelon with<lb />laudable perseverance, while the<lb />twopenny public have to stand on the<lb />floor of the ~o~houseTT and get the<lb />best view they can. In the center<lb />is a raised platform about 10 fect<lb />Bquare, with an earthen floor, and a<lb />canopy of rice matting overhead te<lb />keep the sun off the performers.<lb /><lb />There is about the proceduro a<lb />flavor of old Japan which is becom.<lb />ing rare nowadays. For example, all<lb /><lb />fashioned truncated cue. It is about<lb /><lb />all they do wear. And the umpire<lb />(and his attendant are clad in the<lb />onow obsolete kaimishimo, or cere-<lb />monial costume, the chief peculiari.<lb />ty of which is the projecting wihgs<lb />of gauze. Tho winpire does not core.<lb />municate directly with the combeat-<lb />ants or audience. He is much tac<lb />dignified for that. An attendant an-<lb /><lb />bows, and with much fan ploy re-<lb />cites the titles of the wrestlers ~3<lb />thoy appear. |<lb /><lb />Two brawny giants emerge from<lb />the retiring room at the corner"Ko-<lb />be and Osaka we will call them"<lb />amid much applause. Naked except<lb />for a loincloth and a fringe of blue<lb />cord attached to a waistband, they<lb />strut to the platform in the glory of<lb />250 pounds of avoirdupois and g.<lb />gantio muscles coyly hidden beneath<lb />jan inch of fat. Kobe takes a mouth.<lb />| ful of water from the bucket at the<lb />|<lb /><lb />corner of the platform and sprays it<lb />~over his limbs. Osaka follows suit<lb />Next they abstract a pinch of salt<lb />from a box near by, wrap itina<lb />morsel of paper and bury if in tke<lb />earth thatcovers the platform. This<lb />for luck. Having slapped their<lb />thighs violently, they squat on their<lb />haunches and glare at each other<lb />Osaka, having apparently forgotten<lb />something, goes back to his corne)<lb />and has another mouthful of water,<lb />after which hecomes back and calm<lb />ly contemplates Kobe, who by this<lb />timo discovers that he requires somc¢<lb />liquid refreshment and accordingly<lb />voes and gets it. At last Kobe anc<lb />Osaka are in a position irresistibly<lb />reminding the casual spectator of s<lb />couple of gamecocks. After a dea!<lb />of slapping of thighs Kobe bound,<lb />upand makes a grab at Osaka, whor<lb />he misses by something less than e<lb />mile. Osaka returns the compli-<lb />ment and manages to get Kobe in a<lb />close embrace. ~They sway for a<lb />minute. There is a shock like a<lb />small earthquake, and the Lilliputian<lb />gentleman with the gauze wings,<lb />having received his cue from the<lb />umpire, points his fanat Osaka, whe<lb />bows cumbrously and retires, as<lb />does Kobe, but less ostentatiously.<lb />It is not particularlyTexciting, except<lb />perhaps to these who can appreciate<lb />the nuances of KiyobayashiTs code,<lb />but it is very quaint and one of the<lb />few bits of old Japan that have not<lb />been hustled out of existence, -"<lb />Lindon Realm, "<lb /><lb />Huxley and Gladstone,<lb /><lb />Ther3 was"perhaps thero still is<lb />"in England a metaphysical club<lb />of which Huxley and many other<lb />eminent persons were members.<lb />They met once a month to discourse<lb />of these high matters, Mr. Glad.<lb />stone was one. There is no known<lb />subject on which the great parlia.<lb />mentarian is not ready to enlarge<lb />with copious confidence. He did on<lb />metaphysics at the club and else.<lb />where, Mr, Huxley was once asked<lb />whether Mr, Gladstone was an ex-<lb />pert metaphysician. _<lb /><lb />~o~An expert in metaphysics? He<lb />does not know the meaning of the<lb />word,TT was the rather startling an-<lb />swer. Between Mr. Gladstone and<lb />Mr. Huxley no love, in truth, was<lb />ever lost. Their relationa were nev-<lb /><lb />| er intimate, and though. in private<lb /><lb />they met as men do in England,<lb /><lb />amicably and civilly, no matter how<lb /><lb />much they differ in public, there<lb /><lb />wagand could be no cordiality,"<lb /><lb />ie<lb />é i ¥<lb /><lb />wrestlers wear their hair in the old |<lb /><lb />pounces his decisions with menr |<lb /><lb />oLIGHTING PARLIAMENT,<lb /><lb />on<lb /><lb />flow the Commons and Lords Are Fan<lb />pished With Dluniination.<lb /><lb />Although gas, candles and oi!<lb />lamps are used to light the parlia.<lb /><lb />ster Budet, incandescent lamps are<lb />in most general use. The system of<lb />electric lighting is controlled from<lb />the basement, and throughout the<lb />building the lamps themselves are<lb />every where arranged with great cara<lb />and forethought. In the dining<lb />rooms, for instance, they are placed<lb />very high up, so that while the sup-<lb />ply of light is ample there is no<lb />glare over tho tables. In the tea-<lb />rooms, besides the lightsT from the<lb />ceiling, there are wall brackets over<lb />the tables and even movable table<lb />lamps for those who care to use<lb />~them. And inthe kitchen and the<lb />service room adjoining the com<lb />mons dining room all the fittings<lb />are made of iron, rather than of<lb />brass, so that they may suffer as Jit-<lb />tle as possible from the steam.<lb /><lb />With a staff of about 50 men the<lb />superintendent is able to. make ali<lb />sorts of ingenious and pretty fit-<lb />tings. And, as another specimen of<lb />| the economy which is everywhere<lb />visible, it may be mentioned that he<lb />has succeeded in making many pret<lb />ty olectroliers out of the old gas fit<lb />| tings. The big electroliers"notably<lb />that in the central hall, which<lb />weighs 18 hundredweight and bears<lb />| 93 lamps"and the smaller ones in<lb />ite peersT chamber, St. StephenTs<lb /><lb />hall and elsewhere are made to be<lb />' raised and lowered for purposes of<lb />~ cleaning or of replacing bruken<lb />| lamps. This big electrolier has, high<lb />| up in the dome. a crane, which<lb />|<lb />H<lb />{<lb /><lb />{<lb />{<lb />|<lb />|<lb />{<lb />|<lb /><lb />moves over if on tram lines, by<lb />which it is raised and lowered, while<lb />the electric wires are carefully<lb />drawn aside on another tramway so<lb />that they may not be damaged in<lb />paying out whilo tbe electrolier, is<lb />being lowered. And in the roof above<lb />the house of lords there are similar<lb />arrangements, but with simply a<lb />weight and a couple of carthenwara<lb />pulleys in place of tle crane.<lb /><lb />The commons chamber is not<lb />lighted entirely by electricity.<lb />Round the arched doorway are ten<lb />{incandescent lamps, which are prin.<lb />cipally required to show up the<lb />carving aiid the clock face, and un.<lb />der the side galleries there isa lamp<lb />plated behind each pillar, so that.<lb />while it cannot itself be seon, it pre.<lb />vents the members who may be sit-<lb />ting there from being in deep shade<lb />and so invisible to the speaker. The<lb />principal lighting here, however.<lb />comes through the painted glass<lb /><lb />Jamps aro used, gas being preferred<lb />to electricity here both on account<lb />of its superior spreading powers and<lb />because the heat creates a draft,<lb />and so assists ventilation.
