Rows and Girls of Germany

Throughout Germany, whenever girls
can be employed TO advantage, they are
taken in preference 10 young men. At
Munich the clerks and book keepers in
the banks are nearly all young and
handsome girls At the depots, many
of those who attend the windows FIR the
sale of tickets are girls, and the cashiers
in all the cafes and restaurants are OF
the same sex. They are generally very
expert at figures and 10 mental arltbme-
tic have no superiors In view Of the
fact that so many females are employed
in the rougher and hardest descriptions
Of laboring work, 1t speaks well for the
sex that they are seeking and securing
more desirable and lucrative employ
ment. We are under the impression in
America that our young men are not as
steady and staid as they ought to be;
but they are miracles Of steadiness COM
pared to the average young men in Ger
many. The students at Heidelberg can
give them a start of half day, and beat
them before bedtime. They don drink
strong liquor; coffee, beer, or wine being
the extent of their libations; but they de-
vote the best part of the day to the cafe
or the beer saloon, reading the papers,
playing billiards, chatting or studying
the plates in the numerous satirical Illus
trated papers. How the many thousands
of Young men in Vienna obtain a living

in the ooffee-house, is a mystery

Cherries ripened in the same month

1t is stated that "factorie3o be-
ing almost unknown in Japan,
nearly all industries are carried on
in the homes of the workers, the
members of the family learning
the same trade and working to-
gether. 1t is ii primitive system
which as civilization advances,
must give way to division oflabor
and congregate work, but it has,
nevertheless, many aivantageS
over the latter in producing COM
petent workmeu The eXtraordi-
nary skill of the japanese in hand
labor is largely due to the fact that
the workmen are brought up from
childhood with the same mechan-
ical occupation always going on
with them, and that they learn
handle the tools of the future
labor before they commence to
learn. In the fabrication Of metals
rare ability is displayed, Bronze
vases are ornamented with deli

wire into the surface ii work re-
curing great skill, taste and judg
ment. There is scarcely any use
OF machinery in their manufac-
lures, so that they fail to get ex-
actness or, relatively speaking,
cheapness, but in decorative work
that must be done by hand, prac-
tice of working at home is one
which secures great manual skill.

said something, when defendant
again turned and hit hiin over the
head. Knew nothing of the origin
Of the disturbance.
Mr.. Kiter testified to hearing
Woods swear in the street near
Blondel's corner, and knew that
Wisner was speaking to him, but
in low tones, aud he couldn't hear
what he said; saw Wisner GO into
his office, and then Woods started
up Martin street, and soon Wisner
came down and followed in the
same direction. w. lived up Mar
tin street did not see any blows
struck. This closed the testimony
for prosecution.
Defendant stated it was after
six p. M. and came out of his
office to go home; al the door met
Woods, who was swearing he was
going to whip some d-n white
-ofa boy /; told him to go away
and behave himself; that he would
not be permitted to whip any boys;
Woods then commenced to abuse
him, and went out into the street
and cursed defendant, who

MGj0r T.. s. Irorel testified he
was near the disturbance, saw
the blows struck and that Woods
gave great provocation and abus-
ed defendant outrageously. Woods
was noisy and swearing, defend
ant was quiet and requested him
to go away and behave himself
aud stop cursing him. Heard
Woods say he wouldent take any
talk or sauce from any white man.
j. II. Gettinger testified: He
had met Woods in the street and
he spoke to him in very impu-
dent manner. Saw him afterwards
and before the disturbance oppo-
site Quenzel5, and le was using
profane langua e and behaving
in disorderly and riotuous man
ner and he wondered at the time
where the police were at. This
CLOSED the testimony. Mayor
