In his own country the frugal Jap
lives in house of no more than four
rooms; one for eating, sleeping and
sitting, one for cooking, one for bathing
and one to spare. He never wears boots
nor brings mud into the house. He and
his family sit on the floor when they
eat and take their meals at low table.
The floor of their dining and sitting
room is covered with clean, soft mats,
upon which at night cotton comforters
are spread to sleep under. Such a
house can be built and furnished for one
hundred dollars, and though cheap and
small, is comfortable. The bath, found
IN almost all laborers' houses, is in
daily use. "Better than gold is the

Have you noticed that when you want
to take hold Of anything "A bit Of thread,
we will say-that it is always the thumb
who puts himself forward, and that he
is always on one side by himself, while
the rest are on the other? If the thumb
is not helping nothing stops in your
hand, and you don't know what to do
with it. Try, by way of experiment, to
carry your spoon to your mouth with
out putting your thumb to it, and you
viii see what long time il viii take
You to get through poor little plateful
OF broth. The thumb is placed in such
a manner on your hand that it can face
each of the other fingers, ont atver the
other, or all together, as you please,
and by this We are enabled TO grasp, as
with a pair Of pincers, all objects,
whether large or small. Our hands owe
their perfection of usefulness to this
happy arrangement, which has been be
slowed on no other animal except the
monkey, our nearest neighbor.

One of the most curious railroads IN
the world is the ten-inch gauge road
running from North Bellerica, Mass, to
Bedford. 1t was at first hooted at by
the people, but the road was completed,
making a length Of about eight and a
half miles. There are eleven bridges
on the road, one of which is over 100
feet long. The rails weigh twenty five
pounds to the yard. The road is we'll
built and equipped. One grade is of
125 feet. The cars and engines Will at
first sight create wonder and admiration.
Their perfect proportions give them a
handsome appearance. They are con
structed very near the ground, giving
them great advantages of safety. The
cars have an aisle with one seat on each
side in the same manner as ordinary
a seat to h1mseIf. The cars are s1,IpI,Iia3
with closets, water tanks, are heated
by steam, and have all the modern i'm
| provemeDts. They weigh but four and
a-balf tons, ordinary cars weighing on
an average Of eighteen tons The trains
run at the rate Of twenty miles an hour
with perfect safety. The engine i.
placed behind the tender, giving i
greater adhesion to the track. The,
weigh eight tons and draw two passen
ger and two freight cars. The cost O
the railroad was $500 per mile.

The following petition from Representa-
tive iron aud nail manufacturers was
broughtintp the Second Branch OF Council

OF the hour, was not reached. II will ex.
plain itself;
The undersigned would respectfully re.
port that the material prosperity OF our

lighment Of our manufactures on q secure
competitive basis, and that thsy pay 0
very considerable part OF the taxes neces-
sary 10 carry on the government oil the
city, aud In case the right OF way asked by
the D. < o. r. r, Company should be
granted, that much OF the expenses and
damages acCruing thereby would fall 1pon
said manufacturers. They would also call
your attention to the fact that the pro.
posed extension Of the said railroad will
bring the city In about as near proximity,
via railroad, to the Oonnellsville coke
fields as the city Of Pittsburgh. That by
reason Of such shorter transportation In
the past from said coke fields the manu-.
factories oil Pittsburgh have had low rates
Of freight in coke, and hence have had
advantages over the Wheeling parties
engsged 10 making iron, &c. That the
extension OF the road now contemplated
by the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad Com.
pRny has long been looked forward to as 0
means Of placing the Wheeling and Pitts
buTRh manufactures on an equality In the
cost OF producing iron. That the letter
ttom Vice President KeyEer, now
before your body, while asking
for much indicates nothing but
generallties in return for iavors
granted. We would, therefore, ask that
you will embody In your acceptance Of 9
gran. Of right Of way TO said railroad com.
