Japanese Working People’s *
Home Life and Habits.^
As one walks in Yokohama and To
ldo through a multitude of narrow
streets lined with tiny buildings,
writes a correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle, the foreign and
characteristic air lent to the scenes
presented comes from the fact that in
each separate little open shop some
single workman, like a bee in his cell,
in a way so different from our Western
method, is busily plying his trade.
When I had dissembled my wonder
at seeing the dressmaker holding one
Cnd of his seam with his toes; had re
turned the polite bow of a young
oooper who was skillfully utilizing the
same members in his binding of tubs
with vegetable withes instead of
metallio hoops, and had watched with
admiration the wondrous way in which
a basket-maker was helped out by his
ingenious combination of ambi and
pedal dexterity, I suddenly felt anew
wish. I wanted to see these quiet
and clever working people at home in
their houses as they actually live.
Then it was exp Tied that all the
little shejls of open shops lining the
narrow streets and roadways were
likewise the veritable habitations of
the humanity about me. I soon saw
that this was true, and was ever
thereafter fascinated by the endless
glimpses of interiors and studies of the
home life of the common people.
There may be one room or two in
the small domicile; commonly a second
room exists behind the first. Avery
small separate kitchen may or may
pot be a part of the establishment.
The culinary operations are so simple
in character and the utensils so

Ifmited that but few feet of space at
best are needed to contain them.
The partitions being in the form of
sliding panels, all may be thrown into
the shop during the day or otherwise,
hs elected, So in this country the
worker is still at home to a great ex
tent while he plies his trade, and
factory, stock of goods and shop, as
well as dwelling place, are all under
one roof and appertain to one man.
Down at the hatoba, or dock, in Yo
kohama gangs of Japanese coplies load

ner all their own. Not a bag or bale
could they lift without their accom
panying song of:
Yol-toe cor-ah sai-ya,
Yoi-toe cor-ah 9ai-ya.
For just when the heavy emphasis
comes two men sling the weight on to
the shoulders of a third, who trots off
with it, and the next two wait for the
chorus to come around again to the
right syllable before they proceed as
before. It is jolly, musical and quaint
in the
overseer is turned for a moment all the
industrious laborers will sink on their
heels and light their pipes, which look
like a penholder with an infinitesimal
thimble bowl at the end.
At the other side of town are the
great tea-firing go-downs, redolent,
blocks away, of the subtile herb. In
side, in rows, are the big firing caul
drons, with charcoal fires beneath, and
filling the place all up and down are
the lines of women with towels wrapped
about their heads, swaying, bending,
sometimes rhythmically, sometimes
spasmodically, stirring vigorously with
hands and arms among the hot tea

leaves. Scattered here and there among
them is a man or (boy. Presently a
song starts up, and fitfully pulsating
throughout the great building it echoes
in a sort of primitive or elemental wild
harmony from all the jerking figures,
lightening and facilitating labor.
All workers, at whatever trade, are
given in the middle of forenoon, and
afternoon, as at noon, an interval for
resting and eating, and many babies
on the backs of small brothers and sis
ters wait about the tea-firing places
that at the regular hour, they, too, may
partake of refreshment.
This interval of rest is so elastic iu
its application that there seems hardly
an hour of the day when one group or
another of ’ricksha men by the road
side, of boatmen in the canal,of coolies
in the go-down compounds or of crafts
men in the shops may not be seen
gathered, seated on their heels, about
the little charcoal fireboxes, plying
their chopsticks in small lacquered
bowls and square wooden boxes of
cooked rice,and drinking tea fromcups
like good-sized thimbles. Besides the
dressmaker and tailor, the cooper and
the basket-maker are other artisans
pursuing their avocations in quite as
queer ways. The carpenter hacks at
his boards with a sort of rough adze or
stands on them and saws them with
what looks like a notched butcher’s
knife set in a long handle, or planes
them carefully toward him. The man
in the rice mill ignores belts and
wheels and machinery generally, and
jumps all day on the end of
a plank, a cog or weight in the other
end of which pounds away at the
grains. The lantern-maker and the
umbrella-maker sit patiently tying and
pasting their frail wares, the stock in
trade slowly piling np, day by day, be
hind them. Lonely men, each in his
little booth, make the thick straw mats
or sections of flooring for the native
houses. Boys work deftly, tossing
shuttles back and forth that weave or
tie the bamboo window blinds.
I watched an actual boy with warts
on his hands, at work alone in an
open doorway, on a great square of
pale blue silk on which he was .em
broidering without model or copy the
most exquisitely shaded pink roses.
Little girls sitting on the floor hem
stitched silk handkerchiefs and made
the fragilely beautiful drawn and em
broidered grass-linen work. A couple
of blue men, with hawk noses and
severe countenances, like American
red men gone a wrong color, bobbing
about among their indigo vats, will be
tho whole visible works of a big dye
ing establishment. In front of six
shops, young men with simple appli
ances, working in the dust of the
roadway, jostled by ’ricksha men and
ball-throwing youngsters, reel off silk
into skeins or quickly twist it, in a
sort of wayside ropewalk, into varie
gated silken cords.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
are the women in small, open rooms
who sit all day at primitive frames
throwing by hand the shuttles in and
out that weave the web of silk or cot
ton. It is a pretty and poetical way
of achieving the fabrio we are to wear.
I can but contrast the lives of these
quiet workers in their open doorways,
under the blue of heaven, their eyes
sometimes wandering away with pleas
ure to the shifting street panorama
before them, with those of the thrice
wretched seamstresses, factory hands
and sweat-shop women in our own
cities. It is small misfortune to be
bare-limbed, perchance; to wear cheap
cotton, to eat only rice, in a land
where the fashion for all, even the
well-to-do, is not widely different. I
have seen the weary and old counten
ances of little children and the hard
ones of young girls, thronging out of
our mills and manufactories, but these
better faces of the Japanese women at
their hand looms are less hopeless.
And I would that this callous, hurried
scrambling world had time to weave
its textiles all in the old way of those
early ages when so much sorrow was
not.
There seems nothing grim, over
severe or crushing about Japanese
labor. It is essentially sociable and
cheerful. Every third shop is a place
of eatables, where hot sweet potatoes,
rice coated with delicate seaweed, hot
fish or shrimp fritters dipped in soy,
rolls of fish wrapped around bean and
sugar paste, buckwheat macaroni with
soy, tasty morsels broiled on skewers,
sugared beans and roasted nuts,
parched or popped rice kernels, rice
wafers and cakes browned over the
fire (and if still pale, painted to the
right tinge with brown dyes), rice
paste or jelly, sweet millet paste candy,
popped rice candy, cups of shaved ice
and numerous other dainties and
sweetmeats, are ever at hand for the
delectation of the workers. But this
is not enough, and men with vans and
boxes of cooked food perambulate the_
streets still more conveniently to re
fresh the toiling masses. The meager
coppers so scantily earned jingle all
day right merrily into the pockets or
pouches of the caterers.
Babies are everywhere swarming
about, afoot and aback, with then
share of the good things going. No
body seems ever to startle and depress
them with “You mustn’t do that,”
“You can’t have this,” “You mayn’t
go there.” Among the common peo
ple, at least, there is no sequestering
of women; they, too, are everywhere,
cheek by jowl, helping and doing, ap
parently, as freely as the men. If it
is only a wooden tub which they have
to scrub out, girls with bare feet and
arms, elaborately dressed' hair and
clean and pretty blue and white kim
onos, are apt to bring it out on the
sidewalk and scrub away gregariously
for the next half hour of morfe.
Unloading great stones from the
sampans in the canals, women work as
cheerfully, lustily and effectively as
the men. They share, seemingly on
equal terms, in the small shop keep
ing, and help in aU the labors of the
various avocations. I don’t see how
one of these men can have any secrets
from his wife or escape her society on
the plea tnaf business will detain him
at the stoj;e. If business did, he would
probably find her there before him, as
much at home as in the kitchen or
pursery, which apartments, in truth,
seem to be pretty well done away with;
BROOM PEDDLER.
and if she wasn’t there in person, at
least all the other women on the block
would bo in the near vicinity, able to
supervise his movements.
Living is reduced almost to its sim
plest elements here, where a single
garment will do for a covering, and
that, if necessary, for years; where a
few cents’ worth of rice, pickled vege
tables and dried fish make an appetiz
ing and satisfying meal, and where a
single bare room for dining, for guests
and for sleeping is practically all that
is required by even ambitious house
holders.
In Japan the poorest people are not
without their comforts and conveni
ences. Cooked foods, so cheaply pre
pared in public kitchens, have been
mentioned. Milkmen and other pur
veyors are in almost every block, with
their goods in smallest packages if de
sired, for the fractional copper cur
rency. The housekeeping is the
easiest, and at the same time the dain
tiest, in all the world. No dust and
dirt ever are brought in to tarnish the
fair white floors. The low-ceilinged,
empty rooms and narrow verandas are
readily brushed and washed each day.
The mats on which the poor man sleeps
are as soft as those of the rich.
Bathhouses in the neighborhood,
too, are frequent, where the tired
mother and all her fretful progeny,
wearied by the heat and the hours of
work, at the close of the day enjoy
their regular evening hot and cold
water plunge and splash.
The improvidence of these people
probably is in no danger of being ex
aggerated in the telling. It is doubt
less quite true that the impoverished
’ricksha puller or factory operator
pawns his bed daily to buy his break
fast, and after earning enough to re
deem the futons before night,reckless
ly expends in riotous living in the ten
sen eating houses the whole balance
of his capital. He looks as if he does
all that he is accused of in the way of
ever patching his blue kimono instead
of buying anew one, in living in one
yen-a-month houses, and of handing
down to his descendants only the same
pots and kettles, without a single ad
dition thereto, which he in his day in
herited from his parents. But that he
is to any extent unhappy, miserable
and wretched over it I very much
doubt. I have watched him singing
(and lingering) at his work, and going
home at night in droves, still cheer
fully sociable, solaced with his tiny
pipe and fairly hilarious over the
least morsel and drop of rice and
cheap saki. I have gone with him
to his matsuri, or festivals, and I
know how often they recur and
how light-hearted they find him.
I have stood with him to laugh
at the fun-makers and dancers at the
frequent street celebrations and local
fetes, and I don’t believe there is much
'rancor and bitterness to his poverty.
Besides, his wages are going up.
Guilds he has had always, and he is
learning about strikes. Dock laborers
get eighty cents a day now, where
formerly they received nearer to eight.
Considering their labor capacity and
the cheapness of their living, the former
is not a bad wage. 'Ricksha charges,
those for laundry work, and of vari
ous craftsmen (as all the dyers in
Osaka, who have just procured them
selves a twenty-five-per-cent, raise),
the wages of house servants and the
salaries of policemen and other officials,

all are slowly and steadily increasing,
and the explanation is that the wants
of life are on the increase, meat is be
ginning to be eaten, wool is coming to
be. liked for clothing, some simple lux
uries are now understood and desired,
and so the time is to cofne when the
workingman of Japan is to have rather
more of the conveniences and neces
saries of life to buy, and considerably
more money with which to purchase
them. At least that is considered the
trend of affairs at present.
CJcrman Carp Is Unpopular.
If a fish dealer depended upon tli6
sale of German carp for a livelihood ho
would starve in double-quick time.
That particular member of the fish
family is several hundred thousands of
miles away from the pinnacle of popu
larity, and there is nothing these days
to indicate that it is going to decrease
the distance. German carp are quoted,
wholesale price, at a penny a pound.
“How in the world do you manage
to make anything out of them?” asked
the inquisitive buyer of the South
Water street fish dealer the other day;
“I don’t see where it pays to handle
them.”
“It really doesn’t pay to handle
them, nor does the fisherman who
catches them make a fortune out of
his business,” said the fish dealer.
“Just imagine what the fisherman
makes when we are supposed to sell at
a profit at a penny a pound. He
wouldn’t do right well even if he had
a good business. German carp are faj
from being entitled to recognition as
fine fish. They are coarse in flesh,
and it is an impossible matter to refine
them. I handle them because there
.are some people who buy them from
me. It is not that I sell them for a
reasonable profit, but merely as an ac
commodation.” —Chicago Kecord.
Detecting a Thief by Smell.
Abyssinia, the oldest monarchy in
the world, had much the same govern
ment, laws and customs three thou
sand years ago that it has now. One
of the most curious of these is that of
“thief-smelling.”
When a robbery has been committed
and is reported to the Lebashi, who
answers to the Chief of Detectives in
New York, he compels one of his sub
ordinates to drink a decoction made
from a plant which throws him into a
state of something like that produced
by hashish or opium-smoking before
the' stupor. While thus intoxicated
the detective is supposed to haye a
supernatural power of smelling
thieves. The method of utilizing this,
power, described by the Abyssinian,
traveler, Dr. Krapp, consists of tying
a stout rope around the detective’s
ABYSSINIAN THIEF-CATCHER AT WORK.
xvaist and allowing him to crawl up
and down the village street, the free
end of the rope being held in the hand
of the Lebashi.
Whenever the thief-smeller enters a
house its master is at once convicted
of the theft without further evidence,'
The person who hits been robbed is
sent for and made to swear to tho
value of the stolen property, and tills
value must be paid at once by the
owner of the house to which the' scent
has led the able detective.

Fuel in Liquid Form.
Liquid fuel is coming into general
use among engineers, aud there can be
little doubt that if road carriages arc
to be propelled by steam, the only fuel
admissible will be some form of petro
leum. At a late meeting of the North
east Coast Institution in South Shields,
Mr. B. B. Wallis read a paper giving
the results of many experiments to
ascertain the calorific aud evaporative
value of various oils as fuel for steam
raising. In comparing coal and oil
he shows that the value of each varies
greatly with the quality and circum
stances under which burned, oil do
ing from one and a half to two and a
half times the work of an equal weight
of coal. This is accounted for, first,
by the complete combustion of oil
without loss of heat in soot or smoke;
second, because there are no fires to
clean with the accompanying loss of
heat and fall of steam pressure, the
pressure and revolution of the engines
being maintained; third, because the
boiler tubes are always clean and in
the best condition for the heat from
gases passing through them to the
boiler, and fourth, because the tem
perature of the escaping gases may be
lower than is necessary to create the
draught necessaiy for coal firing.
There are no bars nor thick fire for
the air to force its way through; the
required amount of air can be drawn
through the furnace by a lower up
take temperature, and the admission
of air being under complete control
and the fuel burned in fine particles in
close contact with the oxygen of the
air, only a very small excess of air is
required. It occupies, moreover, only
half the space needed for coal. —Na-
tional Becorder,
Eel Blood for Snake Bite.
Some years ago the naturalist Mosse
found that the blood of eels, particu
larly that of sea eels, contained a poi
son which acted, when transferred into
the human system, similar to the
venom of vipers, although weaker, in
asmuch as the eel poison brought
about a similar reduction of the tem
perature of the blood as the snake
poison.
Based upon this fact, Professor C.
Phisalix made very interesting re
searches, which he presented recently
to the Academy of Sciences at Paris.
He concluded that the blood of eels
possessed immunifyiug agencies upon
snake poison. He succeeded by heat
ing a solution of eel poison to 58 de
grees centigrade to destroy its viru
lence, so that it was possible to inocu
late a guinea pig with the fluid, the
only effect being the raising of the
temperature by a few degrees. This
reaction of the organism was followed
by a perfect capability to resist the
poison of the vipers, which was ad
ministered in a deadly dose fifteen to
twenty hours after the inoculation
with eel blood, but it absolutely failed
to kill the animal. Even a very small
quantity of the heated eel serum was
sufficient to produce immunity from
snake poison. This discovery is most
important, since it can be employed
for immunifying human beings against
snake bites, and, if not too far pro
gressed, it will even insure a more
rapid recovery from snake bite of vic
tims who had not previously been im
munified with the serum. —Philadel-
phia Becord.

An Ancient Heed.
The libririan of St. Paul’s, London,
has in his keeping many very interest
ing documents, among others a deed
of gift from King Ethelbert of a farm
in Kent, which he made over to St,
Paul’s at a time when the cathedral
was but an infant.
Venom Inhaled with the Air,
And imbibed with the water of a malarious lo

sanctions confidence in llostetter’s Stomach
Bitters as a preventiveof this scourge. All over
this continent and in tho tropics it has proved
itself a certain means of defense, and an erad
i.-ant of intermittent and remittent fevers, and
other forms of miasma-born disease. Nor is it
less effective for kidney troubles, constipation,
rheumatism and nervousness.
A man may smile and smile and still be a
temperance advocate.

The Shut-Up Closet.
The Ohio Sanitary Bulletin thus
discourses upon the shut-up clothes
closet: “It is the usual thing to have
one or more closets for clothing open
ing into each bed-room. Often these
are in inner walls; that is, do not have
a window opening out of doors, and
are consequently dark, unventilated
pockets. This is exceedingly objec
tionable for closets anywhere, and es
pecially so for closets opening into a
bed-room. An outer garment, which
has been worn for several days—the
frock of the woman, the coat and
trousers of the man—is taken off and
hung up in this dark, unventilated
box of a place. The garments are
more or less impregnated, even with
the most cleaply people, with effete
matters which it is the function of the
skin to remove from the body. These
are of organic character and must de
cay, adding 'impurities to the atmos
phere. Where such closets already
exist care at least may be taken to
thoroughly air all clothing before
placing it in the closet, and the closet
door may be left open while the bed
room is being aired and sunned, as it
should be, for several hours each
morning.”

• Cramps
Are caused by an irritation of the nerve*.
They are local apaflms, frequently the result
of uterine disease. There are pinching,
gnawing and contractive pains in the region
Ot the stomaoh extending to the back and
chest. They are often the symntom and
effect of indigestion. Dr. M. ’A. Simmons
Liver Medicine should be used to stimu
late the digestive organs and Dr. Simmons
Squaw Vine Wine to give immediate relief
and permanent care.
After the old proprietors of tho article
now called “Black Draught** were by tho
United States Coart enjoined from using
tho words constituting oar trade name
does not equity require that they stand on
their own trade name and merits (if any) of
their article, and not seek to appropriate
the trade for oar article called for and
known as Dr. Simmons Liver Medicine, by
publishing the picture of another Dr. Sim
mons on their wrapper and falsely advertis
ing that their article “ Black Draught ’’ was
established in 1840, that being the year in
which onr article was established, while no
one ever heard of “Black Draught** till
after 1876. Why do they advertise that
falsehood and associate their article with
ours (having the picture of Dr. M. A. Sim
mons on it) by their publication of tho
picture of another I)r. Simmons, if not dono
to unfairly appropriate our trade? Id &9t
the motive apparent?
