Jinrikisha.

Everybody has heard of the jinrikisha,
the small cart in which travellers in Japan
are drawn about the country by men in
stead of animals, but it is not everybody
who knows that this cart is not an ancient
Japanese method of conveyance, but was
first suggested TO the people by cart in
troduced in the islands few years ago by
an American. The Yokohoma Nail says
government return shows there are now
over 100000 jinrikishas in the country,
and that at least 100000 able bodied men
are constantly employed in dragging them
about. 1t is argued that the substitution
of animal labor would free this army of
men to engage in other useful occupations

OLD SHOES.

How much man is like old shoes,
For instance Both Il soul may LOSE
Both had been tanned; both are made tight
BY cobblers both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are soled,
And both in time turn all to mould.
With shoes the last is first with men
The first shall he the last and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they re men-dead, too
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine.
And both peg out-and would you choose
TO he n man or be his shoes?

OF all the Joys that summer brings,
The ono that doth excel, all
1t is to lounge upon the beach
Beneath a big umbrella,
The sea quite near, and nearer still
Some charming rustic belle, ah!
And watch the girls in bathing suits
OF red and blue and yellah
Go through all sorts of pretty tricks
To fascinate fellah;
To feel the spray bedew your cheek,
And briny fragrance smell, ah!
And scoop from out the glistening sand
A crab or mussel shell, ah,
To think you're in enchanted land
Held by a fairy spell, ah!
And dreamily a tale of love
In whispered tones to tell, ah
And then, perhaps, kiss to get
That makes your bosom swell, ah!
With pride and JOY. There's naught, vow
Such pleasure can excel, ah!
And if you doubt. go seek a beach,
Find some bewitching belle, ah !
And while away an hour or two
Beneath a big umbrella.

Flats in Gotham.

There has rarely been a buster time
among builders in New York than the
present. The statistics of building opera
tions from January 1st to September 1st
show an outlay of S44,O00,OO0 on new
structures of various kinds. First-class
buildings, including large business houses,
absorbed S12,669,0O0. The outlay upon
flats was close on to S10,00O,OO0. On tene-
ments and tenement stores it was $780,
600. 1t was though hit few years ago that
the fiat craze had been overdOne, but that
seems to have been a mistake. The S1O,-
100000 already put into it this year is
mostly for very large flats, such as accom-
mOdate from dozen to q score of families
each, very high buildings chiefly, which
dwarf and generally darken all their sur
roundings. The first flats put up in New
York were four stories high. After while
the height was increased to six stories
Then as elevators came into use one or two
more stories were added. When eight
story buildings were put up it was thought
that the limit as to height had been
reached. But the upward tendency kept
on. The buildings OF eight stories was fol-
lowed by ones of nine stories, and those in
turn by ten-story buildings, which looked
w
did not stop there. Eleven-story buildings
came next, and now | hear there are some
prodigious piles projected which shall be
twelve and thirteen stories. Many persons
seem to like being perched up in the air in
those enormous structures. They 60 up
and come down in elevators, and they say
they find better air at the top, and much
less noise than in the lower stories. Most
Of the very large flats are claimed to be
re-proof, but if fire got well started in
one of them certainly should not like to
be on the top flor, half way toward the
stars. They all rent readily, however, SO
it appears there are a great many people
who have faith in the ire-proof theory.
We may have big French fiat fire some
day though, that that will shake the
theory and give the picturesque reporters
chance to say something about a halo
caust" 1t will be providential if we don't.

A Boys ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Now, how many boys twelve years old
can meet the requirements of modern life,
and it must be remembered that to meet
the requirements is what our youth are
educated for =? The Superintendent of the
Brooklyn public schools says the require
ments of everyday life demand that a
twelve-yearold boy Shall be able to write
a fair hand and indite creditable letter
he must be able to make out bill, spell
correctly, read intelligently, and speak and
write with reasonable accuracy and clear
ness; and he must not only possess fair
knowledge of arithmetic, but be able to
perform its operation with rapidity and
precision" When you go home tonight,
examine your twelve-year old boy and see
how he stands the test

SERV VICE.

Fret not that thy day is gone,
And the task is still undone,
Twas not thine, it seems, at all;
Near TO thee it chanced to fall,
Close enough to stir thy brain,
And to veX thy heart in vain.
Somewhere, in a nook forlorn,
Yesterday babe was born;
He shall do thy waiting task;
All thy questions he shall ask,
And the answers will be given,
Whispered lightly out of heaven.
His shall be no stumbling feet;
He shall hold no broken clew
Friends shall unto him be true;
Men shall love him: falsehood's aim
Shall not shatter his good name.
Day shall nerve his arm with light,
Slumber soothe him al the night;
Summers peace and winters storm
Help him all his will perform.
'Tis enough of joy for thee
His high service to foresee.

4 WOMAN JEWELER.
The Success Which Has Greeted a
Young Woman in California.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chroniclel
Have you any jewelry that you wish
mended, or clocks to repair or regulated ~
1t was young woman, neatly dressed,
who asked the question at the front door
OF house on Taylor street yesterday. The
mistress OF the house remembered that she
had brooch with a pin lacking, and
handed 1T over to the itinerant jeweler
! to operate upon. Her actions showed that
she was an adept at the business In a
neat box, about fifteen inches long and
five high, were arranged a full kit OF jew
elers tools, including a spirit lamp and
blowplpe. A new pin was speedily at
tached to the brooch and turned over to its
owner
How much is it p
twenty-five cents" was the reply.
Having paid the amount, the inquisitive
lady of the house asked the travelling
jeweler whether she had much work to do
"Oh, plenty she answered. I'm some
houses l am kept nearly day overhauling
clocks and doing little odd jobs of mend
ing. In some places l have fixed as many
as dozen clocks"
DO you have much regulating of clocks
to attend to?''
tell you how many people there are who
do not know how to make a clock run
faster or slower. BIT there are very many.
There are some people, too, who have some
expensive clocks who do not care to tamper
with them, and in such places am always
asked to look after them"
How do you manage to make repairs
where it is necessary to drill holes ~
"Oh, that is simple enough. l have
drills and a small lathe that l can attach
to sewing machine, and there is scarcely
house now that does not possess one of
these useful articles"
Are there any other ladies engaged in
the work you are ~
Not in this city that / know Of But l
expect that there will soon be plenty of
competition, as there are many young girls
learning the business at the East. But we
can all find plenty of work, guess, as
there is an awful amount of breakage in
jewelry, and we can, if worse, always work
for less than men with big establishments
and high rents to pay

The MAJ0RITY RULES.
why the Prescriptions of Imported Politi-
cal Doctors DO Not Rule m Delaware.

why the Prescriptions of Imported Politi-
cal Doctors DO Not Rule m Delaware.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE The
cause of so much Republican sickness In
Delaware is attributed to the prescriptions
issued by one DIR. Free Trade, OF New York.
On examination OF the medicine propounded
nv this Dr. Editor alias Vice President of the
Free Trade Club of New York, alias Protec
ton in Delaware, alias Stalwart, alias Half
Breed-it was found that the principle lotion
was left out, and his patiehts, particularly
of the Sambo tribe, died of apathy. II the
sick party had retained their old political
physician the disease known in Delaware as
itnepro-phobia" would not have become an
endemic and allowed old DIR. Democracy
to hold the confidence of the people and re-
tain hold on the people for
four years. But such is the case,
and all the people rejoice at the down
tall of this imported prophet In Delaware.
This prophet has been delirious since last
November, and from reports it looks as II
his reason is clean gone forever. Let US
hope for the best, as his general health is
good 1t NAV be that he will survive until
the month of November, 1884, when the
earth will be shaken by the burning of DEM
ocratic powder, announcing TO all the people
that fraud and deception are driven out OF
high places, and that honesty not only rules
In Delaware but at washington.
You may ask what caused SO much con-
tinued Republican distress and sickness
here. will give you the main cause. AT
the election held last November, in New
Castle county, with q population of $4,000
people, 1t was proven by the returns that
| there were 24t more Democrats in the county
than there were Republicans. Now the ma
iority must rule, and will rule so you see that
this sizes and dead party has nothing to do
or say, about rights, law-making and the
expenditure OF taxes. The majority con-
sisting of the Democratic party have the
| right to do all things, and If this distressed
party lose VIII It little brains they had before
| the election, they no doubt will be taken
| care of. place has been provided by the
Poor Committee over In New Castle hum
| dred.
Again, Kent county has 553 more Demo
Gratis than Republicans; Sussex county has
| !. .264 more Democrats than Republicans, and
| there were last November ,957 more Dem
ocrats In Delaware than there were Repub-
licans. 1t looks to me and many Others
that the editors OF the Morning NeaCs and
| Repu6lica,s have not lost their reason, and
should be advised to carry on job printing
and let newspaper publishing alone. Negro
phobia is dangerous disease in this eli
mate, and always strikes weak heads.

One of the Party Recently Arrested on the
Brandywine by the Police Makes State
ment.
Que OF the persons arrested on the banks
of the Brandywine last Friday morning,
desires to say that the report published in
the Ne,os and Republican was false in every
particular save that of playing cards. He
says that when three tramps came up the
banks of the stream and pulled out seven
shirts and pair of pants from valise and
laid them on the grass to dry, the same
officer who made the arrest passed within
20 feet OF them several times without
SAYING word, but took particular
pains to arrest party of men playing
social game away from the regular walks
who were disturbing no one and who never
insulted passer by. The tramp was al
lowed to stay very near the path the whole
afternoon, while the arrested party was on
the top of the hill. The officer (Turner)
employs most of his time In loafng around
Smiths stand. 1t makes very little differ
ence to him what is going on SO long as he
draws his pay. The party wishes it under
stood that they have as good home as the
officers no matter what officer Hatton says
to the contrary. If the officers would lie
less and attend to their duties more, the
city would be greatly benefited.
