The Artless Japanese Way.

The following example of Japanese et-
iquette reminds us of a somewhat anala-
gous case where two young Cuban gen
tlemen were the actors. They had
called on some young ladies in the town
OF Concord, Mass, where they were re-
siding for educational purposes After
sitting till quite a late hour in the even
ing, they took their departure. AS they
left, the ladies went through the usual
formula of asking them to call again
soon. The gentlemen went out, walked
round the block, and returned in twenty
minutes. They thought they were COM
plying with their friends request to call
again soon. Now for the Japanese
story: A Japanese gentleman called
upon Washington lady one day just
before luncheon. AS it was first and
presumably ceremonious call, she natu-
rally expected it would be brief. To
her surprise, he accepted her invitation
to lunch, and that domestic rite over, he
still stayed. The hours wore on and he
did not 90. The lady was wearied be-
yond endurance. Dinner time came.
The lady's husband returned and still
the gentleman from Japan stayed on.
11s was, dS q l1dblcI VI ucCCSSlGy. luflG-
ed to dinner. Finally, the gentleman
of the house relieved his wife in enter
tanning this apparently stationary WIS.,
itor, but as the evening wore on he be-
came so tired and sleepy that he retired
to his own apartment, and the hostess
again screwed her courage to the stick
ing point and resumed the entertain
ment of the guest. At last, about mid
night, the Japanese, with the most
elaborate and abject apologies to tho
lady for leaving her, took his departure.
But the comedy reached its denouement
the next day, when a friend, in whom
the extraordinary guest had confded,
told the hostess that he said he never
had such an ordeal before in his life;
that he was so tired, and he thought the
lady would never let him 60, and final
" he was obliged to leave her without
her permission. Then the hostess learn
ed that in Japanese etiquette the lady
receiving q gentleman gives him the
signal for his departure, and it is very
rude, in their code, to leave her till she
does this.

The Diamonds of Denver.

Denver (Col) Opinion: The social
fiat against diamonds does not seem
to affect Denver. Denver is full of
diamonds. They flash everywhere; in
the dining-room, at parlor receptions,
on the streets, in the business walks
of life. Everybody wears them; even
the hack-drivers have for them fond
ness. In most circles girl who cam
not boast a diamond is ofno account.
In other cities they may be regarded
as vulgar and their constant display
in bad taste, but here it is different.
A man with a hole in his coat or shoes
with paste-board sole will cling to
his diamond, and if he parts with it at
all it is when hunger is getting in its
starvation pang. And as for woman
kind the brilliants are dearer than
life. And so diamonds will continue to
hold their lustrous sway. According
to the statement ofjewelers, Denver is
one of the best diamond markets in
the country. The reason for this
is simple. The great mass of
Colorado's population is drawn
lTOHl tudt CistSS I'll cdStcEu pcO-
pie not blessed with wealth, much less
with sufiiciency of anything save
poverty. They come west, where the
possibilities are greater than at home.
They 60 to the mines, or upon the
range, and as a rule, if indefatigable,
strike q "lead." Whether in the mines
or upon the ranch, tho result is the
same. The successful pioneer, elatei
over his success, at once begins to
taste the sweets of prosperity. His
eyes turn to Denver, and, coming
here with his newly-found wealth, he
begins to realize his dreams. As the
most fitting token of his new station
in life his mind turns in the direction
of outward display, and he fills his
fingers and adorns his shirt-front with
brilliants till his person shines with
the effulgence of haloed saint. If
married, his family does the same
thing, except, instead of shirts, the
female portion thereofcl cluster the hair
and besparkle the ear and wear neck
laces and brooches and other conceits.
Thus it is that the stranger coming to
Denver is struck with the outward evi,
dences OF individual wealth.

A Pretty Vanderbilt Story.

In Fourth avenue horse-car going
uptown one day a plainly-tiressed wo-
man was riding, accompanied by a
bright-eyed child just old enough to be
asking good many questions. The
pert young miss of 3 or years was in
tent on being on familiar terms with
everybody within reach, and one of the
passengers within reach was Mr.. Van
derbilt. He had small package in his
hands, and the child insisted ON reiiev-
ing him of it. The mother, though
wholly unaware of her seatmate's
identity, did her utmost to protect him
from the young mischief-maker' depre-
dations, but her efforts were futile.
And MIR. Vanderbilt, as the car rolled
on. seemed really to have got to enjoy
ing the wee bit Of things Irritation.
She went through his overcoat pockets,
clambered over his knees, and couldn't
have been whit more familiar had she
been of the house of Vanderbilt itself.
At the thirty-second street stables
there was change of conductors,
and bearded young fellow came upon
the rear platform, rang the signal bell,
and started the Car Onward through the
tunnel.
''Papa, papar' shouted the little one
excltedly, and off from the knee of the
millionaire owner of the railroad she
clambered to hold out her arms toward
that bearded young fellow, the new
conductor. The conductor recognized
his distinguished passenger, and natur-
ally he was amazed-his own child in
the magnate's arms. He FASTENED to
correct things, and, with what was not
an unnatural earnestness, apologized for
the baby's rudeness.
''Tut! tut!' interrupted Mr.. Wander
bilt, "l've enjoyed my ride with her.
Young man, wish she were my own.
She must be taken good care off, And
then, as the car turned out of the tun-
mel to the Grand Central Station, he
patted the little one afectionately up
on the head, and said good-by. Within
a month that street-car conductor was
holding responsible position upon one
of the big Vanderbilt railroads, post
that he holds to this day. That very
night Mr.. Vanderbilt had the young
mans antecedents looked up, and find
ing his record clean, and assured that
he was, a man of energy and capacity,
he made place for him at once

are yearly not less than seven thousand
women worn out, and all of them start
their mad careers lnder protest. The
men who supply the girls are the favor
ed ones, and all is free to them.
''The lumber companies are endeay-
oring to abate the horrible practice by re-
fusing to accept orders from the men
for their pay. The custom has been
that the men going into the woods in
the winter could not draw their pay ex-
cept by orders payable in the spring.
'Rhe men soon found plenty of pcddlers
like myself who would advance them
money on orders at liberal discount,
and we could in turn discount these at
the banks and still make good profit.
Many of the companies are now chang
ing this custom, and the foremen of
the camps have no authority to issue Or
ders. This cuts off the supply of cash,
and in few seasons the dance-houses
of the numbering camps will probably
become only tradition"

How Texas Became "The Lone STAR

The use of sealing-wax with an inn
preston of some device or initial there
on having become fashionable for seal
ing letters, it is interesting to note in
connection with curious things which
have been used as seals when one made

s.lone STAR in the banner Of Texas
originated IN that way. When she was
struggling (many years before we an

caslon some of those earnestly interest
ed in her behalf were preparing docu-
ment to be sent to Gen. jackson, while
he was President, and when it was con-
cluded, one gentleman remarked: This
needs seal, and we have none." To
which another instantly answered.:
I'VE will use this for seal. And
pouring melted wax on the paper, he

Dangerous Counterfeit silver Dollars

Dangerous Counterfeit silver dollars
La Crosse Special: Teller Hankerson,
of the La Crosse National bank, discover
ed a counterfeit silver dollar that is pro-
noGnced by all bank people in the city
absolutely the most dangerous bogus that
any OF them here ever saw. 1t is a stand
ard dollar OF the coinage OF 1881.
The outside is silver. and the die is
in every substantial particular as clear
as the original. 1t stands all microscope
cal tests, having the secret M on each
side. the only variation being that under
powerful microscope the - in ''E Pluribus
Unum' is little misshapad, being larger at
the top than the bottom. The only possi-
BILE means of discovery is by weight, it be-
ing exactly forty-seven grains short OF the
standard. and about fortythree
grains short of the average. The
lack of weight is not sufficient to
be noticeable by any one except an expert.
The bank gave notice to all other banks
it the city, and one appeared on the State
bank counter. This warrants the belief
- that som body is showing" tho counter
feits here. Cashier Burton thinks it possi-
BILE that the coin is pure silver, the 1iifer-
enee in weight yielding profit OF 20 per
cent. to the manufacturers.
