As to solidity, it Ls a 'fact that tho
Japanese do not even aim at making
their houses substantia!, as Knglish
houses are, or as, even when 'con
structed by a "jerry builder," they
profess to be. The outer walls of an
English houses are always intended to
bo fixtures, and so far durable that
when once put up they en n not be
pulled down without 'sending for
workmen ; but among tho Japanese
two or more of tho sides are not per
manent walls, but are closed with slid
ing jereens, which can bo set up and
taken down at tho pleasure of the in
mates. On a hot da v. or when thorough
ventilation is required, tho whole side
of a room can be opened to the outer
air.
Of course, people who are not par
ticular about having a ermanent
wall between their rooms and the out
side world, do not care to have im
movable partitions between one part
of the houso and another. Although
in England rooms are occasionally
parted from one another bv a curtain
or by folding doors, yet, as a general
rule, they are separated by walls,
which, however flimsy their construc
tion may be, are fixtures, and cannot

know something- of smugglers' tricks mer." The fireman's prosaic labor;
specially female smug-glcrs, who, I
must say, ' carry on their nefarious
business with the most charmino- ef
frontery. Of course, there are smug
glers of both sexes, but for cunning,
boldness and determination the women
cannot be approached. Do you know
that women are born cheats? Oh,
well, I mean in this direction. A
woman s dress affords her more facili
ties for hidinsr small but coatl v articles.
and it is far, less easy to detect them
than men, and, as tho elder Weller
would say, almost' impossible to 'cir
cumvent' It takes an experienced
searcher to say whether a woman has
got anything concealed about her per-
ovia, tuiu, as wo cannot searcn every
body, some of the clever ones manage
to get through without detection."

How Guiana Indians Count.
The Indians of Guiana have a curi
ous system of numeration. They count
bv the hand and its four fingers.
Thus, when they reach five, instead of
saying so, they call it a handsix is
therefore "a hand and first finger,"
seven a hand and second finger, ten
is 'two hands," but twenty, instead of
being "four hands," is a "man."
Forty is "two men," and thus they go
on by twenties. Forty-six is expressed
as "two men, a hand and, firrt ticker. "
