Hotels in Japan.

Bridget is unknown in japanese ho-
tells, as also is the hotel clerk. True to
the custom of living in the face of the
people, the city caravansaries are en-
tirely open on the front ground floor,
and about six feet from the sill or throsh-
old rises platform about a foot and a
half high upon which the proprietor
may be seen seated on his heels behind
tiny railing ten inches high, busy with
his account books. If it is winter, he is
engaged in the absorbing occupation of
all Japanese tradesmen ut that time of
year-warming his hands over q char
coal fire in Il low brazier. The kitchen
is usually just next to this front room,
often separated from the street only by
q latticed partition. As we enter the
hotel the landlord comes to meet us,
falling on his hands and knees, bowling
his head to the floor. One or two of
the pretty girls out of the bevy usually
seen in Japanese hotels come to assist
us and take our traps. Welcomes, in
vitations and plenty of fun greet us as
we sit down to take off our shoes, as all
good Japanese do, and rs those filthy
foreigners don't, who tramp on the clean
mats with muddy boots. We stand up
unshod, and are led by the laughing
girls along the smooth corridors, across
an arched bridge which spans an open
space in which is rookery, garden,
and pond stocked with goldfish, turtles
and marine plants. The room which
our fair guides choose for us is at the
rear end of the house, overlooking tho
grandest of scenery; and we feel that
we have found place of rest.

Is Dying Painful.

Our own observation fully accords
with the opinion expressed by a physi
clan, that in all ordinary cases there is
little physical pain in dying. A previ.
Gus correspondent had said that, "as q
physical fact in ninety-nine cases out OF
hundred, the act of death is suffering
and agony which only those familiar
with it can understand" TO which the
physician replies:
81 beg leave, as physician, to OBJ.
ject very decidedly to this statement.
Since | began my novitiatc on the bat
tle-lields of the South, | have been a
frequent observer of tho passing out OF
my fellow-beings, in army and navy, in
large hospitals-civil and military, and
in private life, and hence can not help
feeling that what have seen must be q
fair sample of the methods of dying pc.
culiar to our race.
"The result of these sad observations,
covering about eighteen years, is that
the majority of persons do not find death
suffering and agony Many suffer
more from the various illnesses from
which they recover than most do in the
article of death. A very large proper.
ton become unconscious, and hence
pass away without distress to them.

tain good measure of intelligence till

touch him SO directly as the fact that
nc pays an eXorbitant rent to another
monopolist for his filthy rooms in tene-
ment house.
Ii this were all of New York society,
this article would never have been writ
ten. There are rich men whom wealth
has not corrupted, and poor men whom
poverty has not embittered. This does
not need to be said. 1t may be said of
every city. But there are probably few
cities in the world where q choicer So
cicty can be found than in New York,
and there are few, if any, where there is
more e;.i lest, active, Christian life. We
find :. oisong the rich and the poor. 1t
IS coiored somewhat by the dominant
spirit of the city, but it is genuine. 1t
IS struggling manfully to redeem the
city from crime, corruption, filth, ig-
norancc, irreligion and degradation of
every kind; and if the city is saved from
outbreaks of the worst forms of COM
munism, it will be by its means.
But am dwelling too long upon gen
eralltleS. Let us come down to practi-
cal everyday life. The New Yorker is
always i'll hurry. He is an early riser,
and generally eats hearty breakfast by
eight o'clock. If he is religious man,
he has had family prayers before break
fast, as this is the only time of which he
could be sure before midnight. Ii he does
not read the morning paper at breakfast,
he reads it on the way o his office. He is
almost certain to have callers on business
before he can leave his house; and if he
is known to be benevolent man, he has
score of begging letters by the morn
ing delivery. He gets away as soon as
possible, and is not seen again until
evening, when he comes in just in time
to dress for dinner. His household af-
fairs are managed by his wife. He is
liable to have business calls before he
has finished his dinner. If he goes to
his club, he talks business there. He
has committee meetings to attend. At
nine or ten O'Clock he may 90 with his
wife to party, or he may get away
little earlier to the theater. If he has an
evening at home, it is because he has
dinner party or evening entertainment
himself. He keeps late hours. If an
active religious man, Sunday is almost
as busy Il day as any other. If not, it is
divided between business and amuse-
ment. In May his family goes into the
country, or to some watering place, to
remain until October, but the chance is
that he gets but little rest. When rest
becomes absolutely essential he escapes
to Europe.
What the ladies do, except to make
themselves agreeable when they can be
found. can not say from observation,
but they seem to be rs overworked as
the men. Some of them certainly spec
ulate in stocks. They have their clubs
and societies, literary and otherwise.
Many of the charities and religious so.
cietics of the city are largely in their
hands. Domestic and social affairs are
generally left to their management. II
most of the wealthy are devoted to
fashion, many are devoted to better
things-to self-culture, religion and be-
nevolence. Perhaps all this is enough
to account for the fact that there seems
to be SO little of quiet and repose in New
York life. -Contcmp0rmy RerieW.

The Banjo Becoming Fashionable.

There is good reason for believing that
the heretofore despised banjo is to he
elevated to the first rank as musical in
strument. Some one has discovered
that it is of very ancient origin. and of
course that is very much in its favor. as
many persons delight in anything that
is associated with antiquity. A relic
hunter in Egypt found. or says that he
found. in the tomb of royal family, in
one OF the oldest pyramids, banjo of
the exact form of those played by
plantation darkies. In his opinion the
ancient Pharaohs delighted in the sweet
sounds produced by the banjo, which
constituted the favOri;e music of the
country which has been called the
cradle of civilization. 1t is easy to &C.
count for the introduction of the banjo
into this country. 1t was brought by
tho negroes from Egypt by the way of
Ethiopia. Many people will now adj
mire the banjo who despiscd it when it
was thought to be the invention of some
negro barbarian. Indeed, it is stated
that many aristocratic people, as well
as many accomplished musicians, have
long been pleased with the banjo. and
that the latter have played it ION the
sly" Lord Dunraven, of England, is
said to be an accomplished banjo-piay-
er. Thalberg, the great pianist; Miss
Nilsson and Clara Louise Kellogg. the
opera siugers, are also enthusiastic
lovers of the ancient Egyptian instru-
ment. A London musical instrument
maker states that he cannot supply the
demand for the fashionable rival of the
piano. - Chicago Times.

An EngliShman's Description Of Life
in New York City.

New York is no longer the city that it
rapidly in extent, in population and in
wealth that all the conditions of life are
changed. visit the palatial residences
of former days, and l find myself in the
midst of towering warehouses, or in the
midst of q German city or surrounded
by squalid tenement houses, swarming
with Irish. Another turn, and am in
Chinese quarter. If would find the
fashion and wealth of the city, Imustg
far out among the old market gardens
and the more distant pastures, which
are covered now with costly dwelling
houses. Then, 100000 sterling was n
great fortune; now, New York boasts

and energy of her citizens rs through the
rapid growth of the country, with which
she has had but little to do, except in the
way OF developing her natural advan-
tages by building railways and canals.
Most of her rich men owe their wealth to
the rise in the value of real estate or to
fortunate speculation in stocks.
1t has not been 4 slow growth.
1t has come suddenly. The
poorest man in New York who can read
q penny paper is familiar with the slang
of Wall Street. lie knows that he is
cutting stone or carrying mortar for q
palace which is building for man who
has captured Railroad" or "watered
Stock" or "made corner" He does
not need TO GO far to be told that this
does not mean money earned, but mon
ey stolen from he laboring classes. He
believes it. And even this does not
