FARMING. IN JAPAN.
A GREAT DIVERSITY OF CROPS AND
VERY CAREFUL CULTIVATION.

Twenty Millions of People Who Belong
to tho Agricultural Class-Lack of Ma
chinery-The Staple Crop-Few Domes-
tic Animals.
japan has an area Of $50, 900 square miles,
or about 100, 900, 900 acres. This approximate
approaches the area of the state of California
Oh this area Japan has only 100000 acres
In cultivation by the spade, mattock or plow.
From this cultivated area all the food ard
textile plants are grown to feed and clothe
%, 100000 people. The land outside of this
cultivation does not contribute by grazing to
their support as with US, as the japanese
wear no WOODEN clothing and eat neither beef,
pork, mutton, milk, butter Eor cheese. The
untitled area yields them only fuel. Their
100000 acres do even more than to clothe
and feed their IS, GOO 900 people They yield
100000 pounds of tea, %, 900 bales Of silk,
and large quantities of rice, tobacco and
hemp for expectation.
TTLLERS OF THE SOIL.
In population of So 600, 900 there are co.
G00,000 who belong to the agricultural class.
There are 4,500, 900 landholders The land
holders average two and two-thirds acres.
There are few men who own and till ten
acres, and there are many who have one aero
and less It is not to be understood that ell
the labor of 20,000, 900 of people is expended
upon 100000 of acres Of land. Every
farmers family has its wheel, reel, warping
bars and loom, as the early settlers Of this
continent had, and their cotton, linen. and silk
cloth is madefor family use, and even for sale.
The climate is SO mild that on the lower
levels the soil never freezes, and on much of
the land both summer and winter crops are
raised the same year. In order to maintain
the fertility of the soil, with this double dc
mand upon it, repeated fertilization is prac-
tised. The number Of domestic animals is
comparatively small. There is no other coun-
try in the world with such areas unoccupied
for tillage and SO well adapted to grazing that
has so few domestic ANIMALS. The result of
this condition is that the farmer has no barn
yard fertilizers Deprive the farmer in the
older settled states in this country of these re-
sources and there would be no agriculture;
but the japanese without them, and without
any knowledge of agricultural botany or
chemistry have reached crop rate unequaled
in Europe or America With no stock to
feed there are no uses for wheat, rye or bar
ley bran, and these are used to enrich the soil.
They also use decomposed non-edibie sea-
weeds. The whole seacoast line of those
islands must aggregate moro than 3, 600 miles.
All along this line the tides deposit great win
nows of seaweed, which is collected during
low tide, piled up and allowed to decompose,
and is then sold to the farmers. 1t is carried
up to the foothills in boats, and thence by
long lines of pack horses to the fields.

LACK OF MACHINERY

OF labor saving machinery Japan has al
most none. The pillow, the symbol Of tillage
in Europe and America, is justly held i'll low
esteem, and little used The good farmer
there will have it only when labor is scarce
and the seed time is passing by. The imple
ment used for stirring and comminuting the
soil is a wide bladed mattock Sometimes, in
very heavy soils, a pronged mattocll is used,
but generally it IS the bladed mattock that
does the work. 1t is an awkward, heavy
looking implement, but it is better than it
looks. The blaze is twelve inches in length
and five inches wide. The handle is five feet
III length, to which the blade is hung at an
acute angle, so that when by blow it is
forced into the ground there is u leverage for
lifting the earth By this instrument the soil
is not only turned over, but it is thoroughly
pulverized. Often the ground is gone over
again and again till the soil is thoroughly
comminuted Sometimes plow is used by
those who have clay soils and large areas Of
land. It is not, as usually described by globe
trotters, a crude, imperfect Implement II is
light, easily run ana does good work 1t is
drawn by one animal, usually Il COW, but
sometimes by horse. If the piow is used
the ground is plowed and repIowed.

Seen from the Il Allery.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Telegram writes about
some of tho things seen from the gal
lery of the House of Representatives.
He sometimes sees q member making
eyes at some fair charmer in the private
gallery. More frequently he sees him
smoking on the floor, in violation of
the rules of the House. Sometimes he
sees a member sitting up in his
chair with his chin on his white shirt
front and his hands hanging loosely at
his side, fast asleep. The habitue then
makes a mental calculation of how
many hours he worked the night be-
fore. He makes the same calculation
concerning those who are stretched
out on the sofas, If he knows the men
he knows all about it. But the most
striking and picturesque thing he sees
is the soles of shoes. These he
sees on the desks in various parts of
the House. Behind them are members
of Congress. He could tell you who
they are, but don't like to, so he says
their shoes hide their faces. Some of
the members put but one foot on their
desk at time. Others put both up
and sink low down in their chairs
while they smoke. There is man in
the gallery who is making a list Of
members who are thus afflicted. He
has nearly dozen ON the list.
Some members are given to telling
funny stories to a select circle of
friends, and when the habituc secs q
little knot of members around one of
these he knows when TO expect to see

THEPoET's DEATH SONG.

The recent death of Paul Hamilton Hayne, the
noblest poet that the South has produced, lends
peculiar interest to his lofty strain Of final tri-
umph which appeared in the May number Of
Adrper's Magazine. MI. Hayne early devoted
himself to literature, and his name is associated
with nearly all the best American magazines,
especially the Southern ones, several Of which,
though short-lived, rose to eminence under his
editorship. When the war deprived him of his
fortune he still continued true to his standard.
His picturesque little home near Augusta, fur
nished with what ancestral goods he managed
to save in the destruction Of Charleton, has been
the scene OF his labors for twenty years. Hav-
ing experienced all the phases OF prosperity and
adversely, his lingering decline with con-
sumption made him calm and fearless student
of the coming change. The result is beauti-
fully shown in this poem, which, though written
two years ago, by strange coincidence was
published just before the writer was permitted
to verify its truth. We repeat it for those who
may not have seen it in Harper.s Magazine.

she is not one Of those tiresome people
who never lave patience with fun, and
who consider high spirits and merri-
ment out of place? Indeed, no. When
there is a frolic going on, count me in,
if you please. Under the head Of bad
ness, 1 include the meanness which
makes a boy tell lie rather than own
that be has been In the wrong; the
malice which prompts him to play a
practical joke, and the lack of princi-
pie which borrows and does not return.
There are diseases which are con-
tagious, that is, communicated by the
touch. We are very careful not to put
ourselves in their way. The worst
disease in the world which affects only
the body is, however to be preferred to
a wrong condition of the soul, and the
best way to keep out of that is to
choose good companions and avoid bad
ones.

A Romance of Frontis r Life.

Three years ago, says the Cheyenne
Leader, Thomas Ferguson lived with
his family in the valley of Southern
Missouri, himself, his wife, wife
mother, and four children making up
the family group.
The land was poor, times were hard,
and Ferguson found it uphill work to
fill with bread the mouths dependent
on him. He had heard of the rich and
boundless West, and, leaving his fam
lily to follow at some time in the near
future, had sought the setting sun. Lo-
eating, after some months wandering
on Bear River, in Idaho, be improved
some land and was nearly ready to send
for his family when an accident
stretched him on his back and swal-
lowed up the earnings which were to
have reunited the father with his FAM
lily.
That family he had double reasons
for wishing to see. for a few months
after his departure from his Missouri
home his wife had presented him with
a fifth child. Misforlunes came in
company, and soon after the receipt of
the letter announcing the accident to
her husband the wife sickened and died.
Now, Mary, the eldest girl, was the
sole hope and prop of the helpless
family. She at once determined to
take the little children and the aged
tyranny to her father. The poor
home was deeply mortgaged, but it
was sold, and, with the Pittance re-
naming after the debts were paid, the
the old wagon and ponies, the brave
child started on her long journey
Passing through Kansas, the old wagon
rolled during the summer for the Ne
braska line. The little heroine met
with innumerablc mishaps and jnnum-
cradle kindnesses. Many rough hand
helped her on and many a rough voice
wished her "godspeed. just within
Nebraska she found a.'resting-place for
the winter, and this spring again took
up her burden.
In a miserable wagon, drawn by two
half-starved ponies, there passed
through Cheyenne al old woman of so
and five great-grandchildren. The
eldest of these REORGANIZATION was
a girl of II and the youngest was wee
fodder of 2. When asked ''if she was
not afraid and did she not grow
weary" she raised her eyes, in which
shone the light of faith, hope. and love,
and answered simply, "Are we not 60
ing to our father?' and so, with the
rising of yesterdays sun, the old wag-
on rolled on guided by the hands of the
child-woman, made strong and en-
during by her own brave heart, toward
that lonely ranch amid the Idaho
mountains where the stricken father
awaits the coming of his children.

Rude Wall Street.

A man who has an office on Broad
street, and whose name is seen often in
the newspapers, put $500 on deposit
with one of his stockbroker friends
month or two ago, and yesterday, in
answer to message from the brokers'
Office, he called to get an accounting.
Three thousand dollars was to his cred
it as profits. The Wall street Office
was filed with people watching the
tape when he called, but he forgot all
about that when be saw the statement
which showed his good luck, and, with
never so much as hint of purpose, he
threw his arms around the broker and
then and there most ardently kissed
him. He kissed him not once or
twice only, but a full dozen times, and
possibly would have kept up bis SOL
itary game of OSCILLATION till the day
was done; but men down town are
rude, and roars of laughter brought
him to q stop.-Neao York Times.

Tie ProtOuders.

Sweden and Denmark are both at
present besieged by pretenders to the
throne. One in the Swedish province
of East Cortland claims to be the
unfortunate Prince Gustaf, elder broth
er of tho reigning King who, in the
beginning off this century, while at
field manGuvre in Skone, suddenly
fell from his horse and died. 1t is to
this day believed by large portion of
the peasants that Prince Gustaf did
not die, but was carried off to Norway
because of his intention to marry a
girl of humble birth. Having succeed
ed in escaping he let his beard grow
and went to Italy, where, under the
name of Gabribaldi, he effected the
liberation of that country. He is how
ever, not dead, but will come and be
King of the Swedes! So much for the
Swedish pretender.
The Danish one has just turned up.
There has arrived in Copenhagen from
from Stettin two men, father and son,
the former 60. the latter 81 years old,
with trunk loaded with papers and
documents to prove that they are the
direct descendants of the house of Old
enburg, and to show that if at the death
of Frederick VII. they had possessed
these documents they could have proved
their exclusive right to the throne.
They both bear the original name of
the house of Gluckburg, Beck. and
went the day after their arrival to the
master of ceremonies to seek an ALL
dience with tho King. They we're d.
rected to seek it through the German
Ambassador, being German subjects.
The Embassy, after some parley, did
not act, and the pretenders tried them
selves to obtain an audience to suggest
that their claims--which are attested
by the highest German authorities
may be subjected to a thorough scru-
tiny. To begin with, thoy can claim
an Inheritance of $780, 900 marks with
which to carry on the case. They then
applied to the Stettin authorities for a
recommendation to tho German Coun-
Gil OF the Legation on the 9th nit.
Neither of the two men looks as an
adventurer. Tho older is tall and
slender, with an aristocratic bearing
and youthful and winning manners.
His features are in an amazing degree
like those of the late Russian Gar, so
much so that any one who has seen the
Cars picture is struck with the re-
semblauce, The older of the two
gentlemen has passed the greater part
of his time in researches among the
archives and collections in Copen-
hagen. Whole nj gifts he studied his
family history, but he always was
stopped at a vanished child. After
fifteen years of LABOR he has to his full
satisfaction proven that be is grand
sons grandson of this van
ished child. Besides, he has
in lis possession armorial and
other precious things to strengthen his
claims. The young Beck bears a
strong resemblance to Prince VALDEZ
mar, and his acquaintance with the
affairs of the House of Oldenburg is
said to be most astonishing.-PaU Mall

Bits of Advice.

Aunt Majorie Precept contributes
the following on "Companions' to
Harper's Young People: A boy is
known by the company he keeps. You
are judged by your associates, for the
very good reason that people usually
select for their friends those who are
in sympathy with themselves.
If suspicion in school trouble OF
any sort falls upon a lad or a set of
lads, you may be certain that they have
been companions in mischief.
Wrong doing is much like q snow
ball rolling down-hill; it gathers size
and momentum as it goes. If bad
boy could always keep good company,
few persons would credit him with
badness. But ! bad boy would be ill
at ease among the good, and SO you
seldom find him in their society. -.

Mrs. COues Gets q Divorce.

In Washington court the wife
DR.. Elliot Coues of the Smithsonian
Institute, the noted theosophist and
scientist, has been granted a divorce.
The decree declares that tho defendent
shall have the custody of his son,
Elliott B. Coues, and the plaintiff
the custody of their other two chill
dren. Edith L. .Coues and w. B. D.
Coues, and that Dr.. Coues shall pay

derstood that the author of 1.-The
Daemon of Darwin is not averse
to the decree. DR.. Coues is the
President of the American Theosophist
Society,". A few days ago the readers
of a local paper were somewhat
startled by communication from
him on "The Pcrils of Theosophy."
He took the report that a Massachu-
sets woman had been made insane
by tho study of diluted Buddhism
as the text for warning against
rash temptings of fate in seeking to
know the secrets of theosopby be-
fore the soul is prepared to receive
them.
Rash mortals who aspire 70 the coun
sells of the immortals before they can
keep their own are hidden to walk the

Religious mania, emotional insanity,
