1 1 as told of somo clerks in ona of tla
larRO book uteres hero who got from $11
to J0 a month, and thin was mentioned
aa an extraordinary thing. The averaga
clerk gets two days of vacation in a
year, and is entitled to two suits of
clothes and his Iward. I chatted with a
bookseller through my interpreter. His
store was a holo in tho wall with a great
overhanging roof shading it from the
win. The holo had a Uoor about 13 feet
tMHiare, and hia was covered first with
straw mats 8 feet by 0 in size, and upon
these was laid a stock of Japanese litera
. turo of all descriptions. There were
shelves alxiut the walls, and these were
lso piled high with books. They were
laid flat and were not stood upon end as
our books. None of the books had
leather backs, and the pages of each of
them wero printed on but one side of tho
paper. This comes from the uso of the
rice paper, which Is so thin that it will
not ear two impressions. They looked
more like magazines than books, and the
average sizo of tho Japanese book is
about that of Harper's Monthly or of Tho
Century Magazine.
UNPRETENTIOUS MARTS.
The lxjokeejler tightened tho girdle of
his dress as I asked to see his books, and
ho showed me what looked like a ledger
and day book. I noted that these books,
ns tho Japanese printed Iwoks, began at
tho back and ran to the front rage, in
stead of the reverse, as our books do.
lie told mo he kept an account of all
pales, and that he did very little business
on credit. I bought a book of him, and
lie wrapped it up in an advertising 6heet
just as our merchants do, and I am told
tliat the Japanese are fast learning ad
vertising. The next 6tore to this was that of a
lant rn maker, and indeed tho 6tores seem
to bo jumbled together without regard to
order. A carpenter 6hop is next to a
shoo store, and a bath house bumps up
against a hardware 6tore. This lantern
shop was making the lanterns which aro
now largely used at lawn fetes in Amer
ica and which form tho lights for Japan
at night. Every one carries one of these
paper lanterns here when ho goes about
at night, and the evening you read this
letter you may be sure that at least 5,000,'
000 of them are moving here and there
throughout streets and roads of Japan.
The jinriksha men have them tied to the
sliaf is of their carriages; the pedestrians
have them attached to sticks, and in front
of each store and house one hangs. At
dinner parties they till the trees of gar
dens witli bright colored lights, and they
aro exported by tho millions yearly.
I spent some time in going through the
wholesale stores of Tokio. The Japanese
are good packers, and they put up their
goods for shipment in a different way
from ours. There are few nails used in
f listening up the boxes or crates, and rope
almost universally takes the place of
nails. Great store boxes aro tied up with
rope, and in some of the lumber yards I
gee that the boards are tied together in
bundles and stood on end, and not laid
Cat as with us. Each bundle of two or
three boards has its price marked on it,
and these lumber yards are practically
stores, nr-d they may be found in all
parts of the city. As to the use of Btrin
in tying up packages, this id very rare.
A strip of rice paper is sometimes twisted
about about a iarcel, but woolen or cot
ton string is seldom seen,
THE ESSENCB OF ECONOMY.
I noted in tho buying of some photo
graphs that the clerk who made up the
package had some of thi3 6tring. It is
.the same that our grocers use. The clerk
nrst measured the parcel this way and
that, and took just enough to make the
knot and no more. Still, string is cheaper
hero than with us. I mention this as an
example of tho economy of the people.
And still vou will find but few rich
Japanese! The rule here is that the peo-
!)le aro not accumulative, in our sense of
lie word. They have never learned the
philosophy of Investment, and they
spend all they make. They have in the
xist liad no chance for the m vestment of
money, except in lands, and the saving
done lias been largely-' for rebuilding
their houses in case of fires, which aro
very frequent. Dr. llepburn, who lias
been zi Japan for more than ten years,
is my authority for the statement that a
Japanif o house is thought on the aver
age to last only five years beforo it is
destroy ed by tire. Tho framework and
the interiors are like tinder, and whole
villages arc swallowed up almost monthly
in Japcxese conflagrations,
The people aro the most careless in re
gard to tires I have ever seen, and there
pro no flro departments to 6peak of out
of the four cr five large cities. This dan
ger 1;23 thus been an incentive to saving,
but above this there is little. Seven
tcnt!:s of the people, at a rough estimate,
livo from hand to mouth, though the
postal savings banks, which have been
introduced, bid fair to teach them duTer
cntlv. Interest is high, and tho banks
raako laoncv. There is not a largo gov
ernment deht, and most of the debt is
held at Ijome.-rFrank G. Carpenter.

A Letter In s Batten.
A most uniquo reli; of the late war is
possessed by George Clutch, of Colum
bus, Ind. It is a button olf a privaw
soldiers uniform. During tho latter part
of the war Mr. Clutch's brother-in-law,
J. F. Gallaher, whoso honie is in Ohio,
had tho misfortune to bo captured by tho
Confederates and confined in Lib-by
irison. After Mr. Gallaher liad Inx-n
hero somo time he began to feel the need
of money, which would enhance his
prospect of reaching the Union lines
should he succeed in making his escape.
A surgeon of his regiment, who was in
the prison, was about to bo exchanged.
Ho cut oir one of the large brass buttons
from his uniform, and separating tho
two parts of it, made a cavity by taking
out the filling. He then wrote on a slip
of blank pajxr, in a small but distinct
hand, the following note to his wife,
which ho inclosed in tho cavity and again
sealed the button together:
LlBBT 1'fllHO.
Dear Wire If we are not exchanged by tbe
1st of December send me S-W in greenbacks. Tut
In a vial canned up In a con of tomatoes or black
berries. Bend it In a box of provisions.
J. F. GAtXAfJEO.
This note is well preserved, and was
still resting snugly in its place in the
button when shown today by Mr. Clutch.
To continue the 6tory, the button was
made to take the place of another on tho
uniform of tho exchanged surgeon, who
reached home and delivered it to Mrs.
Gallaher in due time. It could not have
escaped the close scrutiny of tho officers
had it been conveyed out of tho prison
in any other manner, as tho officers were
particular to search all of tho exclianged
prisoners, including tho surgeon, most
minutely. Mr. Gallaher did not have
much hope tliat liis schema would suc
ceed, even should tho note reach his wife,
but he was surprised, for the fruit ar
rived in a 6hort time, and although
closely inspected by tho prison official
they faileu to discover tho vial contain
Ing tho money concealed in one of tho
jars of thick preserves. Soon after re
ceiving the money Mr. Gallaher suc
ceeded in making his escape from the
prison, being ono of the chief partici
pants in the great tunnel expedition. He
found the 30 obtained in so novel a
manner to bo of great .service to him in
reaching the Union lines. Chicago Her

The business of grinding hand organs

Numerical Strength of Religions.
. The numerical position of Buddhism
in the world will be found, says Monier
Williams, to be very much below that
with which it is commonly credited. It
has entirely died out of India proper, the
place of its origin, and is rapidly dying
out in other Asiastlo countries. My own
belief is that 100,000,000 Budhists (monks
and laymen) for the whole world would
be a liberal estimate in the present day.
It teems to me too that owing to exag
gerated ideas in regard to the population
at Cliina, and to a forgetfulness of the
millions who worship no one but their
ancestors, the number of Confucianists
is generally overstated. On the whole I
have no hesitation in affirming that even
in numbers Christianity now stands at
the head of all the religions of tho world.
Next to it I am inclined to place Hindu
ism (including Brahminism, Jainism,
demon and fetich worship), while per
haps Confucianism 6hould probably be
placed third, Mohammedanism fourth,
Buddhism fifth, Taeism sixth, Judaism
seventh and Zoroastrianism eighth.

Don't Bandage Sore Eyes.
Tlie custom, prevalent among physi-citr-s
as well as the laity, of tightly
br: Jaging or tying up the eye as soon as
it Lecomes inflamed or sore is a bad one.
The; ellect upon the eye is a bad. It pre

egress of the hot tears and morbid secre

where a foreign substance has got into

COINCIDENCES.
3TI5ANGE OCCURRENCES THAT HAVE
DEFIED EXPLANATION.
a DlkcuMiion of Murder and the Chastljr
Sequel Dickens' Predictions at the
IL-vces The "Three Legged Jims" What
Happened to a Friend of the I'tx-t Rogers.
A coincidence of the war, of a serious
aaturc, is that of the "thrco Jims." A
srnnip of four men were in tho trenches
luring an artillery engagement. They
were lying on tho ground, chatting and
jmoking, out of tho direct reach of fire,
when a shell suddenly exploded over
their heads and so seriously injured tliree
;f tho men that it necessitated amputa
tion of the left leg in each instance. The
Christian name of each of these three
men was tho samo James. Tho fourth,
who was untouched, bore another name.
The three veteran pensioners have ever
since leen known among their acquaint
ances as tho "three legged Jims."
BUOWKIXfi'B EXPERIENCE.
A curious story of coincidence is re
lated by Rolert Browning hi an English
newspaper as having occurred to him
self and 6ister while visiting a remote
vallev in Switzerland some years ago,
ho circumstances of which aro substan
tially as follows:
While strolling about ono evening to
idmiro the calm and repose of the valley,
which lay spread out before them, their
talk unaccountably turned to the subject
of murder, and each began to speculate
ns to what their first impulse would bo
if they should bo so unfortunate as to
find tho body of a murdered man in tho
wood. Continuing in this 6train, the
Brownings talked until they reached the
hotel, when tho matter was dropped:
Mr. Browning applied for tho use of a
carriago tho next morning, and was re
ferred to tho landlord, who informed
them that it would be impossible for
them to have the two horses intended for
their carriage, as one of them was
wanted to bring in tho body of a man
found early that morning, murdered, at
the head of tho valley. Questioning him,
Mr. Browning learned that in all prob
ability tho murder had been committed
very soon after the conversation of tb
evening before.
Pn visiting the spot where the body
had been discovered it was found to bo
the identical place where, on tho previ
ous evening, they had stood speculating
as to what they should do in case of such
an event. To heighten the dramatic ef
fect of the coincidence, they wero told
that no crime of violence, so far as
known, had ever before been committed
in that vallev. The fact that the mind
of the poet should have turned to such a
subject just at that time partakes of the
nature of a presentiment, and the coinci
dence is certainly one of the most pecul
iar on record.
In Forster's "Life of Dickens" a curl;
ous story is told of what Dickeng c&ii"
a "paralyzing coincidence," .
on tho Doncastcr ixjrienced
qt- t r,, -oe course. On the
&t. j ar ta lg5, Dickcn3 bought a
card of the races, and facetiously wrote
down, three names for the winners of the
tnrpo chief races. He liad never heard
or thought of any of the horses in his
life, but, as he wrote to Forster, "if you
can believe it, those three races were
won, one after another, by those threo
horses,"
AFTER MANY YEARS.
The poet, Samuel Rogers, narrated a
coincidence which, although it may
have been a humorous invention, is quite
within the bounds of possibility, and at
the same time somewhat amusing. An
officer who was ordered to India went,
on the day beforo leaving England, to
his lawyer's. The day. being wet, he
took a hackney coach, and when he got
out, as he was paying the driver,
dropped a shilling. He looked in the
mud and slush for it in vain, and so did
the coacliman. On his return home after
some years' service he had occasion
again to go to his lawyer's. When leav
ing he recollected his lost shilling, and,
by some unaccountable impulse, began
to look for it, when, 6trange to 6ay, ho
found, just at the very spot where he
had paitl the coachman not the shilling,
but twelve pennyworth of coppers, done
up in brown paper.
Perhaps the most astonishing coinci
dence of any wo might mention and aV
the same time ono perfectly authentic, is
related by that charming writer, "Tav
erner," of The Boston Post. "I was walk
ing,'" says Taverner, "on my way dowa
town, with a neighbor who was going
the same way, when mv companion, for
no apparent cause, suddenly changed the
subject on wliich we were chatting by an
inquiry concerning a common acquain
tance, who had disappeared out of out"
lives several years before, and whom f
knew he held in especial detestation.
My friend had heard of him the
year before in San Francisco, and lateif
as somewhere on tho continent of Europe.
'And there is no man, he went on to
say. 'that I should more heartily enjoy
knocking down if he would only give me
the provocation. We had at that instant
reached Tremont street, where, suddenly
turning the corner, one of the passing
crowd came squarely into collision with
my friend, slipped upon a spot of ice as
he struggled to keep his balance and
fairly measured his length on the side
walk. I turned to pick up the hat of tho
fallen man, when I felt myself grasped
by the arm by my friend, who whispered:
'Great Scott, Taverner, don't you see it's
the very man, and I've do ne it, after ahT
Sure enough, it was the distant traveler,
who liad turned up to be knocked down,
so to speak, by a coincidence." St. Louis

Something About New South Wales.
Now a little about the colony of New
South Wales. This is tho oldest and
richest of all the colonies and the parent
of them all. In 1824 Tasmania, then
known as Van Diemen's Land, was sep
arated from New South Wales and be
came an independent colony. Four years
afterward the colonv of Western Austra
lia was founded, 1S3G South Australia
was founded, 1810 New Zealand became
independent, 1S51 Victoria was separated,
and the last founded was Queensland in
18o9. The northern territory belongs to
South Australia, with Port Darwin as its
capital. New South Wales lies between
28 and 37 degs. of south lat. and 141 and
153 meridian east long. It has 800 miles
of seaccast, with a number of good har
bors. It3 general shapo is trapezoid, con
taining 310,938 miles, four times as large
as Great Britain or Victoria, or twice as
large as California. As regards tho dis
tance from tho equator it can be com
pared to Cape Colonv, Chile and tho
lower basin of the La Plata in the South
ern Hemisphere, and with Texas, Louisi

The Soap Mines of Nevada.
Tn Nevada aro several deposits of min
eral soap. One of theso has lecn worked
for three or four years. Tho soap is
sometimes mado tip into cakes as it
comes from the mine, but usually it is
toned down by admixture with various
other soaps. In Dakota and Wyoming
are also deposits of natural soap. In re
gions where soda, borax and mineral oils
ultound it is only necessary to bring these
ingredients together and a soap mine is
tho result. Hot springs assist materially
in uniting and concentrating the mate
rials provided by nature. Tho soap
found about hot springs is, therefore,
generally harder and moro ierfect tlian
tliat produced in the dry way in and
alout tho basins of extinct lakes.
Tho waters of Owens and Mono lakes
Aro so thoroughly saturated with borax
and soda in solution that tho addition of
any oleaginous matter produces soap.
The waters of Mono lake produce myriads
of fjrubs (which aftera time become flics)
which are washed ashore, and in some
places form loaches a foot or two in
depth. Tho oily matter contained in the
grubs or flies, uniting with tho alkali in
tho water of the lake, forms a deposit of
soap an inch or two in thickness each
year. Thus, in tho course of ages, a de
iH)sit of natural soap of great depth has
Ihpii built upon the east side of the alkali
lakes, where the worms are stranded
prevailing winds being from tho west.
These particular grubs are tho only living
tilings found in tho waters of Mono anu
Owens lakes.
At certain seasons an insectivorous
chick, called the spoonbill, frequents
theso lakes, and, feeding upon the
aquatic flies and grubs, becomes so fat it
can hardly fly. Hunters kill these spoon
bill ducks tor their oil, as the grub on
which they feed imparts to them a fishy
taste so strong that they cannot be eaten
except by Indians, who eat both worms
and ducks. Ducks killed by hunters and.
lost aro sometimes found tn the waters
of the lake. All the feathers are eaten
off tho fowl by tho alkaline solution, and
tho layer of fat beneath the skin, an
inch in thickness, is found to be changed

I'oet Riley's Key to Success,
"Do you want to succeed in life?" asked
James Whitcomb Riley, the hoosier poet,
of xCelly Bly, whose book of poems has
been most flatteringly received by the
English public and press.
"I do, she replied, with an earnestness
that might have been felt a block,
"Then dress well," he said. "The secret
of success is a good personal appearance.
Why, if I struck a town with only 50
cents in my pocket tho first thing I'd da
would be to go to a barber shop. A bar
ber shop is the intelligence office and
newspaper of every town. So, you see,
my first movo would be to go there. I'd
have a shave and give tho Dai-bp -r
cents, and when $ ou'' -change
I'd v - me back the
. uini, with a knightly
. oi the hand. 'It's all right.' He
I would tell everybody else, and it would
help me to get an opening somewnere.
But about dress. Now wouldn't you
rather give a nickel to a beggar who
was brushed and had a clean face
than to one who was not? Any
one would. When one goes to a hotel
doesn't the clerk take an inventory of his
guest beforo he gives a room, and doesn't
the room always match the appearance?
If I want to sell some verses the editor
glances at mo. If my clothes are shabby
he thinks, 'O, he is in hard luck and will
be satisfied at any price.' If my appear
ance is that of prosperity he'll be afraid
to offer me a small price, or if not afraid
at least ashamed. A woman should be
even more particular. Her gowns give
her place more than a man's coat. Men
always look at the women's dress, and
in almost every instance judge accord
ingly. To be successful one must look
successful. Good clothing makes every
thing easier. Take my advice if you
want to succeed never look shabby."

Surprising His Palate.
"Speaking about stimulants," said Ben
jamin F. Hitchcock, the music pub
lisher, "reminds me of a curious habit
of Fernando Wood, once mayor of this
city. Some time in the '50s he addressed
a literary society of which I was a mem
ber, in the old Broadway tabernacle,
which was then situated on Broadway
near Lispenard street. Mr. Wood talked
about Alexander Hamilton, and as it was
my duty on behalf of the society to
thank him for his kindness in addressing
us, I sat on the platform. Upon the table
beside the speaker stood a pitcher and
two tumblers. At frequent intervals
during his talk Mr. Wood poured a little
of the contents of the pitcher into the
tumbler and tossed it off. I noticed that
after each drink Mr. Wood became more
animated, his periods were more glow
ing, his manner more assured.
As the time drew near for me to make
the speech of acknowledgment I became
very thirsty. My tongue clove to the
roof of my mouth. I stood it as long as
I could, and then, fearing that I should
be unable to talk when my turn came, I
boldly stepped up beside the speaker,
poured a tumbler three-quarters full of
the liquid, raised it to my lips, and
astounded my palate. Half of the con
tents of the glass had gone down the
little red lane beforo my palate tele
graphed to my brain that something was
wrong. However, I finished the glas3
and sat down. Then I felt an insidious
influence stealing along my blood and
Eulsing in my brain. My courage, which
ad become weakened, now was endued
with a new backbone. I could have faced
a Numidian lion. I have liad considera
ble experience as an orator since then,
but never have I equaled that attempt.

Tho Lady of the Limb.
This was a festival peculiar to an an
cient English town and occurred in
June, on the first Monday after Whitsun
week. A fat lamb was provided and at
a given signal, with scores of lookers on
to cheer, no doubt, the maidens of the
town, having had their thumbs tied be
hind them, started in full chase after the
harmless creature. Well frightened Little
woolly coat must have been at such an-
L usual merriment and with such a bevy
of swift footed hunters after him. The
damsel that with her mouth did catch
and hold the lamb was declared "Lady
of tho Lamb." After it was dressed it
was borne; aloft on a long pole to the
public green and close behind followed
the fair prize winner, attended by her
