American Fashions in Japan.

The japanese Weekly Mail says:
" Fashions have strange origins. When
it was announced that drawing room
would be held for the first time last New
Years Day, certain Japanese lady,
who was very anxious to be present,
found herself in some perplexity about
her hair, which was chiefly conspicuous
by its absence. OF course it Will be sur
missed that she escaped the dilemma by
using chignon, but the consequence of
her action are notso equally conceivable.
Her false hair made such a sensation
that it has since become a universal
fashion thus to supplement natures en-
dowments, and we shall probably find
the enhanced value of wigs quoted pres
emily as further proof of the currency
depreciation. A japanese woman wear
ing false hair was an unheard of thing
In Japan heretofore, but this proves how
quickly the sex will follow each other,
even in r-Off Japan.

ST. LOUIS.
Another Anecdote of BeaconsfeId.
From the New York Tribune


This interesting story about Lord
Beaconsfield is told by the Berlinese.
One rainy day during the Berlin con-
gress the premier was out walking with
his private secretary, and accidentally
dropped his pocket-handkerchief upon
the pavement. A Berlinese gentleman
who happened to see the handkerchief
fall picked it up, all muddy as it was,
and handed it to its illustrious owner,
who thanked him politely and was about
to pocket his restored property when
the finder begged to be allowed to keep
it III remembrance of the day upon
which chance had procured him the
honor of speaking with the English
premier. Neither Lord Beaconsheld
nor Mr. Cory understood German; but,
gathering from their interlocutor's man
ner that he wanted something, Mr.. Cory
offered him a piece Of silver, which he
declined to receive. Taking visiting
card from his pocket-book Lord
Beaconsfeld then hurriedly penciled
upon it the words, "We do not under
stand German; kindly call upon me to-
morrow at midday" and handed it to
the gentleman, who duly made his ap-
pearance next day at the Kaiserhof. A
young English diplomatist, well versed
IN the Teutonic tongue, having inter-
preted the Berliner's wish to Lord
Beaconsfeld, the British premier sat
down to his writing table and wroteupon
the back of one of his own photographs
the following sentence: "You wish for
handkerchief, formerly white, but now
black, because of its fall; accept in its
place man who is, alas become white
in spite of the fact that he has been SO
often blackened, and who nevertheless
is not yet fallen 1t is either a ponder
GUS fiction or a singular instance of Dis
raeli's STACEY humor.
