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 * - -—y ■—u- ■ ■■■ -~y— ■-—\r - ■ —'j ■_ ** .**""*?' — —rTr . i C 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 tod unload the steamers in a leisurely, Semi-desultory, casual and happy man 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 BICE SHELLING. 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, PRINCESS HELENE OF ITALY, MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF EUROPE. When the Crown Princess Helene visited the English court during the Jubjlee festivities at London she was accorded the jialm as the peerless beq,uw of all the handsome women of the blood royal present at the functions, Bh| is the daughter of the Prince Of hlontenegrO, ahd was reared in her father's mountainous principality, to which she dwres her exquisite complexion and regai cariage. Her husband, the Crown Prince of Italy, is her oppfisite in pefsonal appearance, being weak, small and bilious-looking, and rUmor lyis it that only her father’s poverty led her to accept the hand of the futhre ruler of Italy, Her out-of-door life has given her a “beauty truly blent r|d ahd white Nature’s own sweet and cunning hand laid on,” and thesejcnarms, combined with her very shy, modest and even diffident ways wneh she isi brought bejorg thg people, have mads h§r Yasib PfiPLar.in Italy. 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 cality, has still a certain antidote. Experience 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. A I*rose Poem. EE-M.

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.” A New Johnson (J) Story. In glancing through the recently published work on that worthy bore, Dr. Johnson, I failed to discover the following anecdote.
