STAFF a Japanese Paper.


The total number of persons employed on
typical japanese newspaper, say The Nichi
Nichi Skimbun, is as follows: One political
director, one chief editor, five assistant edi-
tors, four proof readers, one shorthand writer,
twelve reporters or news gatherers, three or
four compositors. each with several assist
ants, twelve men in the press room and minor
employees, including distributors, making a
total Of $50 persons. The reporters are the
weak point for the editor frankly tells you
that if they cannot find news they are COM
pelled to bring home fiction, as they are paid
by results, and even then they do not often
earn more than $40 month.
They therefore deliberately invent a large
part of The news. During my own stay the YER
nacular papers have had fifty items of news
about my movements, OF ludicrous inaccu-
racy. So untrustworthy, indeed, is the re-
porter that an assistant editor is always sent
when anybody of Importance desires or is in
vited to be interviewed. As regards the sup
ply of news, the best papers have their own
correspondents, almost always men employed
on newspaper, in other chief cities, and
some Of them have mail correspondents
abroad, generally young men who have gone
to Europe or America to study. Much en-
terprise is shown in collecting full accounts
Of anything that occurs in Japan, but the
trail Of the untrustworthy reporter is over It
all, and this greatly reduces it's interest and
inauence.-Henry Norman in Philadelphia

A Fair in tho Forest.


Tho Fete des Loges is very curious fair,
for it is held in the middle of the Forest Of
st. German. No train runs within two or
three miles Of the spot, therefore it needs
some courage to reach it Tits just this diff
Guilty that renders It attractive and romantic.
The Forest Of German IL as mysterious a.
central Africa to most Parisians and much
more alluring. You do not expect to SEQ
fowls and legs Of mutton turning on the spit,
or little tables covered with white cloths, or
slices of potatoes turning brown in boiling
fat near the higher waters Of the Congo; but
you may feel confident Of seeing these things
at the Fete des Loges in the Forest of ST.
Germain
Add to this fascinating picture wooden
horses, turned by very old and philosophic
horse not of wood, this one, but Of bone and
skin-who goes round and round to the
strains of a barrel organ, every tune of which
he could sing if he had any voice, travelling
theatres, wax works, American railways and
wild beasts, fortune tellers, fat girls, living
skeletons, and all the internal din of the fete
lorraine. Parisians are not bold excursion
lists. They think St. Cloud on the confines Of
civilization; therefore they want an object
other than the greenwood tree before they
can make up their minds to plunge into the
forest Of st. German. The Fete des Loges
supplies this motive.-Paris Cor, Boston

Tho Fortress Of the Future.


Well, in our day, the military engineer
recommends, not the vitrifed rockwork,
which he knows not how to make, but beton,
which is analogous to it In historic times,
during the long period styled antiquity, forti.
fed Enclosures had q profile Of considerable
dimensions. The obstacle consisted Of a wall
which was no less than from sixty to ninety
Eve feet in thickness. The scarps of Nine
veh, for, example, and those Of Babylon,
were more than eighty-ave feet. Why did
ancient engineers adopt such dimensions,
which now appear to us so huge9 Because
it was necessary to oppose great resistance
to the action Of demolishing apparatus,
especially to that Of the battering ram.
Well, in our day, the military engineer
who is embarrassed by the firing Of shells
containing breaking charge would have to
have recourse to such thicknesses II he
does not decide to do SO, one of the reasons is
that the marvels Of modern industry permit
him to substitute for masonry masses of
metal having the same resistance with less
thickness.
Then it has been found that beton and q
metallic cuirass alone resist the action of
shells containing a breaking charge such q
melinite or gun cotton. Hence it follows
that these two elements Of construction
should be able to suffice the engineer. That
being the case, it is evident that the forts
that it is necessary to construct cannot any
more resemble those that now constitute the
defenses of our frontiers than the latter re-
semble the strong castles of the middle ages

Sights and Sounds of ReylJavik-Build.
ings-Lines of Ponies.
Reykjavik, poor little metropolis Of 1900
inhabitants, has, nevertheless, it's sights and
sounds Its houses, with but few exceptions
of wood, consist usually of single story,
but in isolated instances rise to the dignity
of two. Through the town runs wide and
tolerably straight street, on which live sew
eral Of the dignitaries of the island, the bish-
op, the governor, the chief justice, and other
members of the government. Upon one
side, surrounded by wooden palings, is the
public square, in the center Of which stands
bronze statue of Thorwaldsen, presented
by the Danish government to the native
country Of the sculptor. At the farther end
is the little cathedral, which contains mar
BILE font, by the artist himself. Around the
different sides Of the square are grouped the
new parliament honse, the postofRce and a
school for girls which draws its pupils from
all parts Of the country.
One of the most imposing buildings Of the
capital is the Jail, and two OF the most awe
inspiring Of the citizens are the policemen.
who in turn patrol the streets in felt helmets
and uniforms It was not discovered, how
ever, that they ever arrested anybody. be-
cause nobody ever so far forgot themselves
as to warrant arrest The jail, consequently,
is always empty, fact that can be but i'm
perfectly understood when one sees its mani
fest superiority to all other dwellings. One

function of guardian Of the public veal, that

The streets of Reykjavik are unpaved, but
at certain corners, wide apart, stand lamp
posts, whereon burn kerosene lamps to light
the belated citizen to his door. One of the
most characteristic Of street signs is the long
lines of ponies that almost continually come
and go, bringing loads Of dried fish, and car
rying back the necessaries Of life; and almost
all of lifes necessary demands in Iceland
must be supplied from without. Even the
wood with which the houses are framed
comes from Norway, and must be taken into
the interior on the backs of horses. A fre-
quent sight is a procession of ponies, each
with board on either side, fastened at one
end to the pack saddle, while the other end
is left to trail and bump along the uneven
road. On pleasant mornings another kind
of procession is often seen. It is composed
of women and girls, each with wooden tub,
and all going to the warm springs to do the
household washing. The water can be had
at all temperatures, from boiling hot, where
it bubbles up out of the earth, to tepid, fur.

Effect Of Flour MIL Dust.

In order to test the effect of constant inha-
lation of dust in flour mills on the animal
organism, NJ. L.. Poincarre kept guinea pigs
for two years in the most dusty part of q
flour mill that is to say, the department
where the corn is cleansed from all extrane-
GUS matter by q special machine before being
ground. OF twenty animals, ten remained
alive at the end Of two years. Those that
died were mostly young ones None Of these
showed traces Of tuberculosis, but catarrhal
pneumonia, with profuse desquamation Of
epithelium; also in some cases localized in
terstitial pneumonia and extravasation Of
blood. Dust, consisting Of grains Of starch,
etc., was found, more particularly on the
nasal mucuous membrane, but only to q
small exte.lt in the bronchi Lancet.

LUCK I'M LIRE.
The Finer Inner Sense of the So Called
Lucky Person.

The Finer Inner. Sense of the So Called
Lucky Person.
It was mentioned recently that some per-
son had drawn $4,000 in lottery. There
are such instances from time to time, but
when one comes to reflect upon il he per-
ceives that the prizes were won from those
who had contributed to buy the tickets. This
is ono form of luck most people understand;
that is, they see that there is nothing inher-
ent in the individual that causes the success.
A man throws skies, OF he draws the highest
prize, and nothing can be said, except that it
is his luck. And so in all the phases Of life,
some men are born great, some achieve
greatness and others have greatness thrust
upon them. Il his ship sinks he is saved in
the long boat; if his bank breaks be has with.
drawn his accounts
But there Is luck different from this, and
It has been often noted. One man goes
through life and everything he does turns to
gold Another man, under the same c:rcum-
stances, apparently, goes the same way, and
everything he does turns to ashes. Why II
thisi No one can explain it. For want Of q
better name it may be called luck, but this
does not solve the problem. 1t might seem
as il luck was finer inner sense that enabled
its possessor to take in certain business situa-
tions and act on them accordingly; that by
means Of it men see better and clearer, and
without being able to explain why they do
this or that, go forward and achieve success.
just look at it for moment. Here is one
man who loses his train by half minute and
an engagement that might have made him
rich. Running for Office, he is defeated by
two votes. Applying for a place, he finds it
given away the day before he applied. He
speculates in stocks, and no sooner buys but
the stock goes down. He sells the wheat
crop, and the price goes up. He has a
natural tendency to get on the wrong side,
and when prices fall he is long, and when
they rise he is short. On all sides, meta
phorically and actually, he is cheated,
robbed, snubbed and kicked.
On the other hand, the lucky man is always
on the other side, and no matter what may
be the market, or how affairs may turn out,
be falls like cat on all fours. There is no
more striking instance in respect to this mat
ter than the career of Gen. Grant. Great
general as he was, how many, many in
stances there were when he seemed to cross
the flood ''on the uncertain footing of a
spear" And, concerning advancement, who
could have presaged in 1860 that the obscure
tanner Of Galena would be president Of the
United States eight years later and the most
distinguished man Of modern times9 This
may be called luck, but it is luck inherent
in certain individuals, making them equal to
the occasion they meet. 1t is, in fact, sixth
sense born with the individual, just as the
talent for poetry or oratory is born with cer-
tain men. 1t is better to be born lucky than
rich, says the old proverb, and history
abundantly gives it the proof. Chicago Her

shrewd Trick of the waiter.


Said returned tourist the other evening
to reporter: II see it don't take long for
the walters on this side Of the water to adopt
European tactics when it is to their personal
advantage"
'What, for instancep' I'D,
"From long and not unusual experience in
cafes in various parts of the world, have
adopted the custom Of looking carefully over
the itemized bill brought me for my meals
and comparing it with the prices on the bill
OF fare. That is what an itemlzed bill is for,
and not simply to look like washing list
The other night when dining rather literally
at one of the uptown hotels remarked a dis
crepancy as between the account presented
and the change returned from the bill gave
the waiter.
"It was only 50 cents short, but called
the walters attention to the fact. He seemed
astonished and counted the change twice:
then, lifting the bill of items from the plate
where it rested with the change, his features
were spread with satisfied smile as two
quarters of dollar appeared Hereunder.
His hilarity disappeared, though, when told
him that had spent time and money enough
in Paris to know that trick well, and always
rewarded them there, as proposed to do
with him. by omitting his accustomed fee.n
''What is the tricks" queried the reporter.
"Don't you see that by hiding two or three
coins under the list in thatway when return
ing the change to a careless man, who does
not count his change, he would receive his
tip and the hidden coin also; but when serv-
ing more careful person-myself, for in
