Bed in Japan.

0SA 49, vpHs~hs
You really do not 60 to bed at all,
in our acceptation of the term, for
the bed comes to you: and the style
of preparing for the night is about
the same wherever you are. First,
cotton-stuffed mat is laid anywhere
upon the floor, and block or roll Is
placed at one end to rest 90 your
head upon. Then you lie down, and
cotton-stuffed quilt is thrown over
you. This quilt is like Jap's dress
on big scale, with large and heavi-
ly stuffed sleeves, which flap over
like wings. But the difficulty is that
these capacious sleeves, with all the
rest of the bedding, contain unnum-
bered legions of voracious feas hid
away in recesses known only to
themselves, but which only wait till
you get fairly nestled in sleep, when
they begin their onslaught on their
defenceless victim. Awakened by
the merciless havoc they are making
upon you, it is in vain that you roll
and toss and shake your clothes till
you are wearied out; that only in
creases the vigor with which they re-
new the battle, and though you may
spend hours in the faint glare of the
primitive oil-lantern, which is set in
one corner of the room, and strive
to rid yourself of the tiny tigers that
are devouring you, it is all to no
purpose. and you sink down at last
to sleep--but only for short time.
You are awakened again, only to
undergo the same tribulation, and
the long hours of night pass away as
you pace up and down the narrow
limits of the room listening to the
snoring of the dozen or more of the
tough-hided sleepers who surround
you, and peep through the sliding
shutters of the house to see if the
day is breaking or not. You cannot
lie down again, for the floor is crawl
ing with the creatures you dread,
and you cannot sit down, for there
is nothing to sit upon, and such
thing as chair was never heard of
in that region. You can only suffer
in silence, and wish you were at
home.

On the evening train Wednesday
Capt. r. o. Phillips, who represents
the Lincoln Land Company, arrived in
Calvert. His special business Was to
meet the Sheridan land company
and its representatives, and agree upon
n name for the union of the two towns,
and other essential matters connected
with the proposed change. That even
ing Hon. Church Howe, with his part
Iier, Mr.. Nixon, met Mr.. Phillips and
Mr.. Osbern at the Holdrege, in Cal
vert, and soon perfect understanding
and agreement was arrived at, the
name agreed upon, together with the
location of the public square; and ev-
erything was settled most amicably. so
far as the two town companies could
do it. The name for the etwo towns is
AUBURN. The next step. now being
taken, is the circulating of petitions,
to be signed by the actual residents of
the two towns, asking the Judge of the
District Court to make an order to
change the names of Calvert and Sher-
idan to that of Aubu1n. The action of
the land companies will he promptly
endorsed by the petitions of the peo-
pie, and the whole matter will be con-
summated within ten days. And ev-
erybody interested at the center, and
the people of the county generally
will be glad that the vexed and lonl
talked OF question is settled.

Old BOTTLES.

The great bulk of old bottles are fur
nished by hotels and restaurants. When
the accumulation reaches ample pro-
portions they send to the "bottle man."
and he calls for them and takes them
away. The second buyers, who purchase
of the dealers, send their orders to the
latter, who fill them in the same way as
a mercantile house does. On one occa-
sion large hotel sold nine thousand
bottles to dealer. Bottles are shipped
in hogsheads and barrels. When put in
hogsheads they are packed in straw, but
when put in barrels no packing is used
to protect them. The barrels are not
headed up, as they are easy to handle.
Hogsheads are so bulky that they can
not be carried, but must be thrown
upon their sides and rolled about, hence
the use of straw. Junk-dealers buy
bottles, but this part of business amounts
to little. They obtain their meagre sup
plies mainly from small boys. If rag
ged gamin finds bottle in the street he
will post off with it to the nearest junk
shop and probably receive penny for
his prize. A penny is the standard
price for bottle with junk dealers.
The Italians, who in New York are as
great scavengers as the Chinese are in
San Francisco, pick the streets clean,
and know the worth of bottles when they
discover them. Monday is Italian day"
at the bottle stores. On that day they
swarm to the places with their collec-
lions for the previous week and dispense
of them. Not a few Italians display
business enterprise and tact. A good
many of them 60 about among the
lower resort buying bottles which they
sell over again. One Italian began by
collecting with sack which he carried
on his back. Finally, he secured hand
cart; later, another, which he hired q
man to push, and so he continued, until
now he has dozen or more picking up
bottles in all parts of the city. Not long
ago he purchased ahouse and paid nine
teen thousand dollars in cash for it.
When he landed on these shores he was
penniless. There are similar cases,
though none perhaps as striking rs this.
The Italian women help their husbands,
and go to the stores bending under
loads of bottles slung over their shoulders
in bags.
