hot One must visit the inland towns to
see the life of Jap proper. Their houses
are built of bamboo, covered with mud,
while the roof is matched with straw. On
entering you must invariably remove your

sight ia to see the baby strapped TO the
back of the older child.
There is no lack of amusement in Japan.
Irrespective of the many places to be seen
and admired, the traveller may visit one
of the theatres and see native acting or
witness fencing matches and so.called
tricks performed with tops; or he may
call in an unlimited number of singing
or posturing girls to entertain him and
his friends during the repast. One Of tho
first things which strikes visitor to
Japanese theatre is the peculiar shape of
the stage, which projects on either side al
right angles with the main stage about
half way into the auditorium. The work
ings behind the scenes are very simple.
Everything is done by hand, and there is
not much in the accessories to spectacu-
lar play, but what is wanting in gorgeous
effect is made up by the realistic manner
in which they I'LL the minor details. Thus

He Pulled the Wrong Strap.

Lave me off fOrninst Kater street, :"
shouted an ancient son of Erin, as he
glanced at the conductor of a white car
on Seventeenth street, near South, yes
terday afternoon. The knight of the
bell strap was either deaf or was alb
sorbed in a mental calculation of the
profits Of the trip when Kater street
was reached and passed. The Irish
man was mad and quick as a fash he
jumped up and catching a strap over
head pulled vigorously until the
alarmed conductor rushed in and
caught his arms.
Lave me off this car or, by me
sOwl, I'll break every bone in yer
body" yelled the passenger, as he
struggled to free himself.
Naw," said the conductor, Eyer
don't git off this ere car till We pay me
for the eight fares yer rung up on me"
Look you here, sir, what do you
name? Is it a thafe that We take me
fOr?" shrieked the the friend of Home
Rule.
Say, that's all right about that, but
when We clung to that leather strap
yer put me in a hole for eight fares.
Hurry up, give us the forty-eight
CENTS" answered the monarch of the
back platform.
III give ye bat in the oily. Sure
an l done nothing more than pull the
bell-strap when ye refused to respect

argued the old fellow.
"Well, whiskers, when yer mon
keyed with that 'ere strap yer jest
twisted the hand of that register eight
notches. The receiver expects the
Doodle. So pony up or suffer the con-
sequences"
But the old man didn't pony up and
the tough conductors now qnietly tell
ing his friends of the wonderful knowl-
edge of cOllar-and-elbow wrestling pos
sessed by the Irishman, who not only
pulled the wrong strap, but landed the
conductor Off the back platform as he
bid gOOd-by to the car.

Bad Talk for the Knights.

Mr.. Powderly's shameful speech at
Atlantic City, in which he taught that
the militia of free people is the same
thing as the hired mercenaries of a
despot, is we'll matched by the address
issued by the Central Labor Union of
New York city, calling for the observ-
ance of the first Monday in September
as labor holiday. "For 800 days out
of the year," this address says, "you
are huddled together in dingy factor
les, mills and workshops, tortured by
the heat, the dust, the roar and hustle
of machinery" The idea of men be-
ing tortured" by a trade toward
which they had leaning when young,
which they willingly pursue, and which
furnishes an honorable living for them
selves and those that they love, is wor-
thy of labor agitatOr who gets from
five to seven dollars a day for writing
down and promulgating such senti-
ments as these are. For almost all of
the human family the evil aud misfOr-
tune of their lives is not work, but the
lack of work. 1t is when there is no
work that there is no bread, and this is
according to the divine decree.
All modern discoveries and scholar
ship, and the very largest range of lin
guistic knowledge, have not been able
to affect in the slightest degree the old
curse. ain the sweat of thy face shalt
thou cat bread, till thou return unto
the ground; for from it thou vast
taken-fOr dust thou art, and unto
dust thou shalt return" This is the
best that modern criticism can do with
the ancient law, and it leaves this fun
damental fact of human existence un-
changed. 1t applies alike to rich and
poor; there is no exemption. The
form Of the work varies; with wealth
there is relief from the distressing fear
of lack of bodily comfort But there
is no relief from the necessity of regular
labor of some kind-Or, if here and
there some foolish mortal attempts to
evade the law by entire idleness, he
pays the penalty in a WEAKNESS and
self-disgust that sap the human powers
of all strength and sweetness. Thus
the original curse is itself benignant,
for labor in some regular form is an es-
sential condition of human happiness.
The Central Labor Union think differ
emily, but this is by no means the first
time that labor agitators have thought
wrongly. They try to make their de-
luded followers believe that work is
slavery and torture" whereas in fact
work is the condition of civil liberty
and the foundation stone of human con-
tentment.-Morning Ne1Vs.
Smyrna times., 1886-07-28

There are some people who never
learn anything by observation. They
are not scarce. In fact they are over
plentiful. They may look at what
goes on around them until their eyes
are sore, but what good does it do
them? They never learn anything ex-
cept by experience. A pile-driver
couldn't put an idea into their heads.
They are good deal like children
who can't be taught that fire burns
until they stick their fingers into it.
All the booolls such people read, all
the newspapers they persue, all the in
cidents they hear. all the happenings
that come under their notice, day by
day, cannot teach them anything of
practical value.
Nilsson is going to marry Spanish
grandee named Count Casa Miranda.
After her marriage, as she says, she
will "retire from the stage and settle
down in Madrid" This because her
husband doesn't want her to appear on
the stage in public. She may warble
occasionally in oratorio, but she will
not venture to tread the boards in
opera. She intends to bid farewell
to the public that has adOred her for
years, Danish all thoughts of future tri-
umph, and live hereafter as the coun-
tess Casa-Miranda, in the blaze of glory
that emanates from the Spanish court,
with all the splendOr that becomes the
wife of a nobleman.
Her friends might say, Christine,
beware! Have a care for your own
sake. There have been other divas
ere now who have espOused noblemen
with pedigrees as long as a mans arm !;
and the last state of those divas has
been worse than the first. If you care
a dollars worth for your future peace
of mind, don't mary a man who calls
himself Don just for the sake of be-
ing called DONNA when you are n
prima donna already" Marrying for
a title rarely brings any singer happi-
ness

VictOria's Lot Not a Happy One.

hear that the somewhat celebrated
love match between Victoria Schilling
and her stable husband is not quite as
rosy as it was. Indeed they do say
that the welded life of the coachman
and his bride is rather more spirited
than aflectiOnate. Mrs. Schilling looks
thin and anxious. She was plump and
rather light-hearted when her runaway
marriage occurred. Now the girls at
the Casino are telling that she cries in
her dressing-rOom between the scenes
on the stage, and there are rumors
that she is badly treated at home.
Her father, l understand, would take
her back to his home if she would get
away from her husband, but she is not
quite ready to do that. She is, how
ever, beginning to think that she has
made a great mistake in life and to
feel her humiliation very keenly. But
she is too full of pluck to acknowledge
the error publicly, and so she grows
pale and thin, and goes away by her.
self to weep. She now gets $50 week
at the Casino, and the people in the
company like her and have sympathy
for her apparent distress. She will
never be very much of an actress, but
she sings well enough and looks we'll.
enough to be sure of earning a good
living on the stage as long as she may
choose to stay there.--Ne,U York Let

What Is intoxicating Liquor!

Rhode Island, which has just adopted
prohibition" amendment to its Con-
stitutiOn, has ali interesting problem to
decide.
The law prohibits the traffic in "ale,
wine, rum or other strong or malt or
intoxicating liquors, or any mixed
liquors a part of which is ale, wine,
rum or strong malt or Intoxicating
liquors to be sold rs beverage"
Since the passage of the law PrOvi-
dence beer brewery has advertised for
sale temperance beer" On analysis
this beer proved to contain three per
cent. of alcohol. The question arises,
Will this beer intOxicate? The deter
mination of the answer to the question
is a hard problem, because, as the
Chief Constable of the State is quoted
as saying, "some men can drink more
than Others"
The definition of intOxication is not
settled. The dictionaries say that a
person is intoxicated when he is drunk.
Drunkenness is defined as the state of
inebriety. Inebriety is defined as tipsy,
and tipsy as fuddled. Fuddled is de-
clared to be that state in which ale is
the chief food.

For the Smyrna Times.
To Our Girls,

Being an occasional correspondent
gives us the kind of opportunity of
speaking to the girls that we may not
have again. We like to speak to the
girls and we shall not go round Robin
Hoods barn in doing it. Girls are
wonderful inventions. Some of them.
most of them seem to be a part of fash
ION, if you know what fashion is; for
they submit their bodies tothe tOrturing
DEGREES of that indescrible something.
Let me tell you, you are just the same
girls in calico dresses with kitchen
aprons on in the kitchen of a log
shanty as you are with silks and sat
ins here at the church, on the ball
room floor or in the gayest theatre in
the land. " Fine feathers don't make
fine birds" Cosmetics won't make
fine characters or lOvable dispositions.
Five years hence and where will you
be, girls? Will you all be old maids
Don't tell man you are going to be
an old maid or you might frighten
him. He might think you wanted
him to pop the question. know not
one of you intend to marry-you
never think of such thing-but by
and by there will be some fellow come
along who will over-persuade you.
You need not evade the point-it is
as natural to love as it is for water to
flow down hill. You can help loving
no more than you can control the beat
ings of your heart. l do not mean to
say you will accept the first man who
asks you. That is according to who he
is and how well you like him. You
know you try to hide your faults from
the one you like best and it is the same
with the boys toward you. But there
are no angels among the boys-not
one! They have taken their wings
in the morning and flown to the utter
most parts of the earth. You would
not know how to treat an angel any
how. If there is anything girls that
you want to be careful of in this life it
is how you choose a companion for it.
l do not believe that man who is un-
happy in his family can be happy
man. If this is true of man what
must it be of a woman whose every tie
of hope and affection centres there. A
few more hours, a few more years, the
roses will have gone from the lips and
the bushes from the cheek, but wish,
| hope, the white-robed angel of peace
may settle in your hearts and cast its
shadow upon your lives. am respon-
sible for the utterances. If they have
afronted anyone let them step up to
the captains Office and settle. -
