Japanese In New York.

The New York correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press remarks that social
ly there is great difference between
the Chinese and Japanese in the me-
tropolis. The few Japanese in the
city. lie says. are either connec ted y ith
japanese business houses, with branches
in New York, or students in colleges
or the higher sehoos. AS business
men the japanese seem quite as wide
awake as our smartest old New York
ers, and don't seem to lack even the
proverbial Yankee push. One of the
leading business houses of the city is a
japanese establishment on Broadway,
near Union square. Most of the Japan
ese engaged in business can speak Elg-
lish nearly as W Ill as their own tongue.
They are noted for courtesy and close
attention to the wishes AID even the
whims of customers, and all who deal
with them feel tlat they are well
treated. They adapt themselves to
the general social and business tone Of
their surroundings almost as readily
as if they were of the same race.
Tney all live well, and some have
formed very pleasant social connec-
tions. I know of one, the manager of
a large business house, whose home Is
one of the brightest in New York.
He is regular attendant at church,
whittier he was led by his wife, an in
telligent young woman, before their
marriage, and his household includes
three interesting children, with only a
suggestion of their fathers race in their
appearance. The Japanese 90 to
theatres and the opera. sometimes 30
other soLial resorts. and to the water
ing-places in summer. They become
citizens, and identity themselves with
the community in general In a bus
iness way they are valuable acces-
SION to New York, and if their num-
Der were larger it would be all the
better for the city. 1t is about
tw-nty-fve years since the arrival of a
party of Japanese, including the IA
nous " Tommy" who got an immense
deal of petting, gave New Workers a
novel sensation. The Japanese now
here seem as mu IN at home as if they
had b en- with US from the first in

AerOlites,

The largest in any museum in the
United States is in the National
museum. 1t was found in Northern
Me lieo. the region where most of the
aerolites have been found. It's weight
is 800 pounds. The second largest
is the Gibbs aerolite. in the museum of
Yale college, weighing 1000 poun {:
and the third in size is also in the
National museum, its weight being
1,400 pounds. This last is calel the
Tucson aerolite." The government
also owns a heavy mass of iron found
in the interior of Greenland, which
for a time was believed to monster
aerolite. Several smaller aerolites are
to be found in the Smithsonian in

That Advertising Pays.

That advertising pays is too well
known to business men to require de.
monstration. A mistaken process OF SO
large dimensions as the advertising OF
our days could not be sustained and
continue togrow and increase year after
year. Advertising is mainta ned, and
grows rapidly. It is cu tomary to
start new papers wherever thC Sc eNi t.
ing give evidence of thrift, and the
subscription price Of all the papers is
so low that they have to be supported
mainly by the advertising. In this
manner the business capital of the
country is made to supply cheap
reading for the masses, vast numbers
of whom are too poor to buy books.
The business capital is the foundation
of the advertising; this in turn sup
ports the paper, and the issue can
thereupon be sold to the poor and to
the rich alike for little more than the
cost of the white paper on which it is
printed. That this cheap reading mat
ter is apprec a:ed 10y the people at
large is abundantly shown by the num-
ber of readers. Tne number Of
periodicals published in the United
States during the census year was
1854, OF which 97l were issued daily,
and the aggregate circulation per issue
Of these dali IS was 3, SIT, 1876, AN average
of abort one daily paper every day to
every fifteen inhabitants of the Union.
But the weeklies AMI others published
at intervals varying from semi-weskly
to semi-annually exhibit mu:h wider
field, their aggregate circulation per
issue being 28,2lS,291. The increase
of newspapers sin 1850 is astonish-
ng. The total numb 4r Of newspapers
in the United States In 1850 is given

stated above fer 1880 is 31,177.924,
or almost six times as much as in 1870,
while the popua ion of the country
only increased during that periol from
23,l91, $40 to 50,155,7S3, or less than
lis per cent. This 6 atifying increase

the plantations. They are not easily
drawn from the fiel Is to other .pur-
suits, even for better wages. Most Of
them are accumulating wealth as well
as the whites, getting little homes, of
which they are proud.
Appearances demonstrate that the
sugar planter who attends carefully to
his affairs is the moss independent of
all the men who seek to get wealth
from the soil. He has, however, two
deadly foes, whose assault upon his
crops he cannot forsee or ward off with
all the power he can commanl. One
is an overflow and the other is freez-
ing frost coming before he can gather
his cane. Neither come often. but
when they do the planter loses a

1t is marvellous how sheep and wool
growing have increased in this coun-
try within the last fifteen or twenty
years. In 1860 there were only about
25,000,000 sheep in the United States.
We now have nearly 50,0O0,000. In
1860 the wool clip amounted to only
60,000,000 pounds; to-day it is nearly
300, 900 pounds-an increase with
in this period of over two-fold of sheep
and five-fold in the production of wool,
giving unmistakable evidence Of our
advance in this industry.
