"Japin is the land ot flowers and Ilka," raid, lift Charles P. Dunne, proprietor btm troupe of performing Jape. "I ive lived there some four year now, and shall always live then. No man ever lived In Japan a year and was willing to leave or live anywhere else. I'm anxious to get back. ' There Isn't a Japan in my company as homesick to free Japan as I am. Flowers? there is no end! Tbey make the very air a balm, with their perfume. The chrysanthemums the national flower are alone worth a trip across the Pacific "Americans are especially the favor ltes of the Japanese. 'The courtesy and kindness which this government has displayed toward Japan, in con trast to the somewhat abrupt and dictatorial methods of .England end France, are responsible for this. Eng land made her demands with a threat to blow down a town If tbey were not met; the United States bowed politely and put the same thing in the form of a request ' The Japs appreciate the difference and love the Americans. 1 "The Japs personally are the politest people on earth. A Frenchman Isn't in it with a Jap. You lift your hat and a Jap will lift bis higher; you bow and a Jap will bow a foot lower than Iou do. This excess of polite at sn.tlon is at first a little irksome, but one gets used to it and likes it. "The Japanese are advancing fast, faster in fact than any people on earth. They are building schools and filling them with students all over the Islands. It is peculiar out true that these young Jap students well educated, mind you, and but little, if nny behind the college boys of the same age in Amer icaare the most bitter and fanatical expositors of their old heathen re ligion. So far as the Mikado's gov ernment and the people generally are involved, they tolerate unhesitatingly the presence of all religions' and lay no embargo en this efforts of mission aries to reclaim all who will to Chris tianity. , f J , , .. "These people are .very cleanly. Their cities are models as being well kept and pure. I have beet in one of their fishing villages, which is the poorest and meanest, and so far as of fense to sight or smell was concerned, it was like a conservatory of flowers. In, the big cities they maintain public bath houses and all are free to dip themselves at pleasure. ' That brings me to another matter of some delicacy to foreigners. People of both sexes bathe together in Japan. There is no discrimination or UifVirence. It la not gents to the right and ladles to the left with them. : They mingle in the bath without restriction and in nature's garb. This, which is shocking to -any but a Jap, is altogether common-place to these nonchalant celestials. It is their custom, their fashion, tbe lesson of their life, or anything you may call it, and so they thiuk no more of these mixed lavattons than you would, ot a party of men and women at dinner, 'The Mikado's government is very jealous of any attempt to take the women away from Japan. I venture to say1 1 am tbe only foreigner who ever brought any women away under contract and did it by lawful passports and on the square. The four I have with me I had trouble to get, 1 assure you. and I had lived in Japan four years and was well liked and respect ed by them. I had to give a big bond to bring them back all right, and even then they fussed around and made me lose two steamers before I got clear with them. They are afraid of the women being drawn, into an , immoral life, which, in their notion, would bring shame and reproach to the im perial government of Japan. The Japanese laws punish crime very severely. Their jails are awful holes. The prisoner is cooped up in a little dungeon not big enough to swing a cat in. and has for prpvant no more than one rico ball and about a pint of water dally. The Jap authorities are not allowed to punish foreigners. In each city is a large tract, or part, of the city, marked off for the occupation Of aliens. This is entirely maintained ' b the foreign element and is called ' ttaf 'foreign concessions." "Oh! these Japs are brave. They , hare no more fear of death than has a bullock. They will kill themselves. The time was and is still for that mat iter, when some high official like the Mikado might find fault with some member of his staff or retinue, and command hira to commit hari harL" , Not hari fcari; hari hari. Now, don't understand any ; grief would specially flow if the culprit disobeyed. It might disgrace him; but la any event none of them ever avoided it, so far as I know. The doomed man would go home and take a week to do it, if he saw fit He suited his own taste as to that He made a big feast kissed his friends good-bye, dressed himself in spotless white, knelt down oa a mat plunged a knife into his bowels, making a great. slash, and died. . - -.

The most chosen are those of the black bear, which roam the woods by hundreds, and prime skins bring from $25 up to as high as $100 each in the r market Duriug the excursion season tourists from all parts of the dobo make a thriving trade for Alaska merchants the bearskin line. There are five distinct species of the bear in Alaska the black, brown or cinnamon and a cross, which inhabit all portions of southeastern Alaska and the upper portion of the Yukon country.' Fur ther north, in the St Ellas Alps, is the home of a grizzly which in size. ferocity and color much resembles the grizzlies of the Sierra Kevadas, and still further north, along 4 the lower reaches of the Yukon and the ice fields of the Arctic Ocean, is the white polar bear. At brave and . skillful hunting bear as the Alaska In dian is he seldom bunts the St Elias grizzly, both because there is itlle profit in tbe hides and tbe great Size and ferocity of tbe beasts make hunting them a most hazardous under taking. Their mode of killing them is by shooting into them from a heav- ly charged smooth-bore musket , a heavy slug of lead, copper or iron, then awaiting their charge,, which never falls to follow the shot with a long, heavy and strongly made spear, rest ing tbe butt of the weapon on the ground and planting one foot firmly agNinst it The point of the spetr rests at an angle to pierce tbe bear the ,. breast and tbe bear's own weight, when it strikes the spear in ts mad charge, is calculated to drive the weapon through him or pierce him deep enough to cause death. As will be readily seen, if at this critical mo ment the hunter's courage should fall him, or by miscalculation the spear failed to Impale the charging beast the hunter would be knocked senseless and Immediately torn into shreds. This mode of bear-bunting may have its advantages, but only the Alaska Indian has the courage to try the experiment ' Barb Land. - Beyond where the marshes are dark and wide Is a ladder of "Cd and gold, Where the sun has sunk in the shifting - tide " .! n V'. .r e Of the clouds that the night elves mold.

An Eng lish paper tells how such can , be ob tained on strictly scientific principles. in describing an . entertainment at which the writer was present The lecturer held up a sheet of pa per whicn ne toucned wttn tne sua glowing wick of the candle. Instant ly the paper began to smoulder; and it smouldered up and down in a narrow line until it had written "God save the Queen," which was the very last thing we expected it would do. Then other sheets of paper were taken and on some patterns were burned out on others animals were drawn. On the last there appeared a very fair sketch in stencil ot the room in which tbe lecture was given. This was mysterious. The papers were handed round for examination, and, though some were held up to the lieht no pattern could be found on them. . ..

DlitrUrtt IV pop. T IsrtV'ea 1 aklU of tk. Mt.rs, , "I had the pature of witnessing a negro execution once." satt an African traveler recently. Mr. Glave bas just returned from Alaska, where be has been explor.ng th Interior, lut for six years prior to that he was in the Congo country with Stanley. "I bad tbo pleasure of seeing this execution rnd of knowing that I wasn't strooar enough to stop it. 1 was allowed to witness it only on the con dition that I and my companions should be unarmed. But for that I should have shot the chief and the execution er. Afterward I did have force enough to prevent it and for two years there weren't any waBton killings. The missionaries have the place now and the slaughter i. going merrily on. Soft words won't stop it It takes something more than that to put the fear of God into those blacks. "But 1 am drifting away from my story. Some old woman or influence bad died and accordingly, to celebrate the occasion, a slave bad to be sacri ficed. ; He was lashed fast in a kind of seat and a pliant stem about 15 feet long stuck into the ground near him. Tbe top of it was bent, over and tied fast to his head, so that his neck Was s taut as a fiddle string. That was tbe first time I had seen them use one of their soft Iron knives, and I expect ed to see the poor fellow's ueck haggled into rags, but I heard ' only a click when it struck the bones of the spinal column, and the man' head shot away like a pebble in a sling. A fountain of blood spurted from bis neck, and tbe body worked and twitched exactly as a chicken does when its head is cut off. The head when picked up was chat tering its jaws and rolllog its eyes. ' ' 'Its awful the amount of killing that goes on in Africa. - A tribe will make up a party and go out to make captives in an adjoining village. hey wait until after night and then fire upon the village until -its defend ers are killed. Tbey take the rest of the folk and make slaves of them. Some are killed for the mere fun of killing them, some are slaughtered to be eaten, some for sacrifice and others die from cruel treatment About five out of every six captives taken die by violence. As a conse quence interior Africa is being rapidly depopulated. One may go for hun dreds of miles and not see a man. but may note the charred stumps which mark where Tillages have once been."

This was the quostion which the Academy of Sciences discussed on the report of MM.1 Fremy and Verneull, who for some . time past have been making chemical experiments in the roanu facturo of these stones. More valuable than mere theory was the fact that the two chemists exhibited some hundreds of specimens of the glittering red crystals they had succeeded In produc ing. The rubies were admitted by all to be much superior to anything hith erto manufactured. No little danger, however, attends the process. ;The chemicals have to be fused at a heat so intense that M. Verneuil during the course of tbe experiments nearly lost his sight While manufacturing rubios the two) chemists found that at a cer tain stage of the operations crystals ot the color of sapphires were produced. but tbo hue hitherto obtained ha- not been equal to the tint ot the real gem.

Aa fcffort toC-pim lg task by the Aid of a Kl.pnaat, It wss durlng ths cold weather, when snakes are partly or wholly torpid, that this adventure happened ; l ad it been iu the hot weather, when snakes are lively, the story might have had a different ending. General Macmtyre and his party went one day to examine a hole or crevice unuVr a rock where it was suspected a python lay hid Jen, and sure enough it was there, for they could see a bit or. tiie tail end protruding from the hole. They let it alone at first thinking that when the sun shone, it might como forth to bask in its warmth. In this, however, they were disappointed, for on the fol lowing day tbe snake was not to be seen; but, on closer examination, tlie tail was found sticking out as before.' Various efforts were made to dislodge it A fire was lit in front and the smoke fanned inward, but this had no effect. The earth was even scraped away and the hole widened, when they could see tue coils of the monster as thick as a man's thigh ; but except that their operations were occasionally interrupted by the startling presence of the creature's head, which it poked toward the entrance, darting out its little forked tongue, it gave small signs of animation. , They had even determined to try to draw it We all three, therefore, proceeded, somewhat nervously, I must own, to lay hold Of iU tail. To this familiarity it showed its objection by a decided In clination to wag its caudal extremity, hich hod such an electrical effect on our nerves that we dropped it like a hot potato, and what shall I call it re tired. ., A shot would in all probability have induced the snake toquit its refuge, but then the shot must have torn and disfigured its beautiful skin, which the general wished to secure uninjured as a specimen. In the meantime more effi cient tools had been sent for, and these now arrived upon an elephant A bright idea now struck the party they might draw the snake out with the elephant I Sufficient rope for the pur pose was loosened from the elephant's pad, and this rope, the thickness of a man s thumb, was hitched around the python's tail, its remainining length brought up again to the pad aud fastened there, thus doubling its strtugiJi. . Now came the tug of war 1 A sudden jerk might lmre torn the skin ; the mahout was therefore warned to put on. the strain gradually. Little did we know what a tough and obstinate customer we Jiad to deal witn. iigncer anu tighter grew the ropes, when "crack" went one of them. Still the strain was increased, when "crack," the other had snapped aLo, leaving the snake in statu qua ' ' The snake was finally dislodged by counter mining and killed with a charge of buokshot , When measured it was found to be twenty-one feet iu length and about two feet in girth. Cham ber's Journal. ! Th Ellqoatt of Cards. ; Visiting cards play so large a part m the social life of our cities that it is well to understand their use. ' " It is not a crime to turn down wrong corners of visiting cards, but it is at least better to turn them rightly. A young girl from a "Western city, making a visit to a lady in Boston, sent up her card with the corner turned down a thing that should never be done when the parson called upon is at nome. This mistake, made by a refined young ady, suggests the desirableness of a little technical information for girls brought up in parti of the country where card etiquette is less understood than in our large cities, When a call is made with the oops to see the person called upon, inquiry should be made at the door if the lady is at home, and it so, a card should be sent up, that there may be no mistake as to the visitor's name. ,,..,..;,..,... v.. When it is a regular reception day, on which the lady of tho house lias given out that she will stay at home to see her friends, no card should be sent up t her but the visitor should leave one upon the halltable. When the person Tisited is not at home, either the whole right-haud end, or the upper right-hand corner, of the card may be turned down, as a token tnai the visitor had called in person. The best way to make what the French call the "visit of digestion," after a dinner, or the call after an evening party, is except in cases of real intimacy to leave a turned-down card, as it would be too great a tax on the time of a hostess if she were compelled to receive each guest again, separately. Cards may be sent by post, on arriving at a place, to notify friends tf ones presence in town, and may also be sent on departure, marked r. 1. U pom prendre conge to take leave.

But a Frenchman still uses cards as larce as his wife s. as was formerly the American custom.

Unhappy Mothars. Not long ago, the lamentations of mother over the conviction of her son in court drove the judge from the bench and drew tears from old and experienced lawyers. There is something infinitely sad about the devotion of a mother, and the human heart can never resist a throb of sympathy when that mother's love as sorts itMlf. Courts and bailiffs, judges and lawyers, court rules and stern de crees, all yield for a moment to the over whelming power of woman's love. All bow in reverence and all sorrow in sym pathy.

This was in 1848, and the event attracted as much attention as a country circus could have done at the town from which it started. The run was from Cumberland, Md.. to Baltimore, and the comments of tbe crowd which witnessed the start 88 Mr. Davis said tome, were very funny. "She won't make twenty mile," said one. OI course not," rejoin eu anoiuer doubter. . "There is danger of running into a cow and throwing her off the track." chimed in a third. "Yes,' and thev can't see far enough ahead to keep from running into the stones that roll down tbe mountain at night suggested a fourth. '. - r -' In fact, every one there predicted fail ure, and the officials or the road in Bal timore awaited the result anxiously ; but despite many difficulties, Davin landed the train in Baltimore, and by his pluck removed in one night a most important obstacle to railroading. It seems like a romance to recall the lives of these primitive men like Davis, who have solved so many practical problems for this country. Yet, here he.h play ing in the e very-day game of 'fe still full of vigor and power, after having. from the smallest beginnings, been twice a United States Senator, and the accum ulator of a fortune of $30,000,000 with out having ever speculated a dollar in his life simply by the nicrejo of prop erty he bought for a song. One day Mr. Davis was dining in New York with two other important men. He sat at one side of the table. Simon Cam eron, of Pennsylvania, wearing the hon ors of sixty years of public life, was opposite him. At the head of the board was General William T. Sherman, who, while coffee was being-served, began a reminiscence of the army life by saying: "When 1 was a lieutenant "Gome, now, Sherman," interrupted Mr. Davis, good naturedly, "were you ever a lieutenant?" , "Yes, Davis," replied the old soldier ; I was a lieutenant about the time you were a brakeman on a freight train. " "Well, bote, -observed the venerable Cameron, who had listened quietly to all this : "I don't suppose either of you ever cut cord wood for a living, as I did. Cera for Sleeplewnen. A clergyman who is afflicted with insomnia find that "to walk even one mile in the day ii a great thing" in the way of a remedy. At the moment he says, the best thing one can do is to got up, drink half a glass of water, and walk around the room.

A journalist when suffering from an over-excited brain, and finding his eyes in constant move ment, although the lids are closed, reso lutely fixes the gaze downward says, to the foot oi the bed while the lius are kept closed. "A most wretched lier- awake" of thirty-five years' standing, who had for ten years thought himself happy if he could get twenty minutes' deep in the tweuty-four hours, took hot water "a pint, comfortably hot, one hour before each of my three meals, and one the last thing at night naturally, unmixed with anything else. The very first night I slept for three hours on end, turned round, and slept again till morning. 'I have faithfully 1 continued the hot watsr, and have never had one bad night since. Pain gradually les sened, and went away; the shattered nerves became calm and strong,' and instead of each night being one long misery spent in wearying for the morn ing, they are ail too short for the sweet refreshing sleep I now enjoy. " - A Kaat Jug-gUnc Trick. ' The neatest juggling trick of the day Is the following : A pony-glass of whisky and a pony -glass of water are placed side by side, both glasses brimming full, and a wager made that the liquids can be made to change glasses without nourinx either of them out. If the wager is accepted a thin card is placed over the glass of water and held tightly on it while it is turned upside down and placed on top ot ' tbe ' pony of . whisky. Tbe card is then carefully shoved aside until one end of it is a hair's breadth be yond the . rims of the glasses, and the whisky wilt then work itself slowly into the upper glass, the water descending to the lower. Care should be taken that both glassee are full to running over. and the card sbould.be thin and mored aside very slightly or the opportunity for capillary attraction, on which the trick depends, will be lost Chicago Tribune.
