Ippi May. I. in company with Mrs.
Bell and two other women weut to
see the famous "Hundred Steps" of
Yokohoma. Pari ol Vokohoma is
aet on a hill, conseqic i lv it can not
be hid. The "Hum!; •<! stepa" • are
one of the liootw n.', ~ bv v Inch one
may go from the lov er part of the
city to the elevated part of the city.
When the top of t b • steps is reached
a line view of the bay of Toklo Is be
fore the eyes ot the weary traveler.
It presents a 'rand spectacle with
Its hundreds of ships of different
sl. es and colors, from all parts of the
world.
The parks of Yokohoma are slni-
plv grand, and the people seem to
take a pride in keeping up in good
shape. They were given a good
..hare of attention by us.
After seeing the parks, the stores
or the city came In for their portion
of notice. Some of them are ex-
ceedingly handsome and are ele-
gantly arranged. The many curious
articles in them for sale make
them all the more interesting to
strangers. The merchants are very
polite and nearly break their backs
bowing when a customer enters.
The cit> looks grander and more
beautiful after night from the ships
in the harbor than at any other
time, because her electric lights of
various colors at different heights
in the many parts of the ciiv would
almost "shame the stars." The city
lias a population now of something
over two hundred thousand and Is
growing rapidly.
On the morning of Aug. I s, Mrs.
Hell and I took the train for Toklo.
arriving there about 11 o'clock. We
spent (he time there very pleasant-
ly and saw many things of interest,
that cannot be seen in Yokohoma.
Among tlieni were the tombs of the
Shoguns, the Toklo Blzar, the va-
rious government buildings of the
different nations, the imperial
grounds and the Japanese military
museum.
Perhaps it would lie or some in-
terest to your readers to know who
the Shoguns were. Previous to the
reign of the present dynasty in Ja-
pan the country's chief ruler was
called the Shoguu. He held his of
lice by virtue of his prowess as a
warrior. I'nder him were a lot of
subordinates who knew nothing
much but to do bis will. Once each
year these petty officers bad to re-
port to the Shogun at Toklo. with
ill the men under his command to
do service for the Shogun, therefore
the city of Toklo Is somewhat bad-
ly scattered as these o(fleers selected
different localities for their camps
of which it might be said Tokio was
originally composed. There are
fourteen tombs of the Shoguns all
within the inclosure of on > of their
famous temples. We visited the
temple and before we could enter it
the priest in charge made us give
him twenty cents and slip on 11 pair
of cloth overshoes. This we did and
then were shown the prayer room
a'id the shrine, the place where the
people pay their tithes, presumably
their pagan .;od. but 1 think their
priests ge> the most benefit from
th"tn. Mrs Bell and I did not offer
anything to Buddha and she even
had scruples about putting tin the
cloili overshoes, however she put 1
tlffii oti without much persuasion. |
The Japanese military museum is;
quite an Interesting collection of i
weapons of war both modern ami an-i
1 ient. It one could read Japanese j
well lie couhi almost get the histo-
ry tif Japan in a nutshell as repre-
. tit ' In tills wonderful collection,
as a short history of each is given in
J a pu neve.
There we saw- some of the great
guns the Japanese captured from the
Russians at Port Arthur and also
some I"ii- inn uniforms perforated
with holes made by Japanese bullets.
The hi-: I oota of some poor dead
Russian, who will do Ho service for
th « "Little Father" on this earth,
were also on exhibition. The walls
were decorated with fine oil paint-
ings of Japan's most illustrious mil-
itary leaders They ar • a determin-
ed looking lot of almond-eyed war-
riors. We also liiul the pleasure of
seeing the little brass gun President
Grant made the Japanese government
while he was President of the rait-
ed States.
The Imperial grounds are surely
| a wonder to behold. They are In
the form of a snail. We like Moses,
were permitted to see the "promise
land," but could not enter It. as his
royal almond-eyedness, the Mikado,
would not let as small chickens as
we are scratch around on his dung-
hill, however. It was a great pleas-
ure to even see it.
These grounds nre protected by
six miles of moats or canals and
stone walls. The canals are about
twenty feet in depth and the walls
are something like thirty-five feet
high, If measured from the bottom
of the canals where they begin. The
st0110a of which the walls are built
are so cut and laid that no cemeut

Health in Fruit
Juices.
Scientists tell us that tin1 Juices of ripe fruits are health-
ful and easily digested, The child can drink them as safely
as the adult.
The syrups served at out fountain are ma le from the
Juices of fresh, thoroughly ripened fruits.
Fare, cleanliness, skill and experience are used in their
preparation We think that better syrups than ours cannot
be produced.
We are constantly at work solving the problem of how to
serve better and more healthful drinks, if possible, than we
have ever served before.
The perfect sanitary condition of our fountain and the
drinks we serve are a constant study wiih us.
