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 total of 150 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 $10 month
 They therefore deliberately invent 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 infuence,-Henry Norman in Philadelphia Times,

Original Method of Courtsllip.

The principal exhibit ill evidence in Q re- cent divorce suit was hymn book, The plaintiff and defendant had occupied places side by side in church, and their acquaint ance had really begun in the pew with the young mans polite attentions over the hymns. He found the places in the book, and shared it with his fair neighbor. From that sprang friendship, which in time merged into affec- tion. The fellows method of courtship was neat and original. After finding the hymn that the pastor had given out, he would fol- low it through while 1t was being read from the pulpit, and deftly underscore words and phrases that conveyed his sentiments to the girl. Of course. as she came across these marked hymns, as they were being melodi- ously and impressively sung they impressed romantically.
 Further along in this process of wooing the suitor got to interlineations, ,so that the rever- ential lines of the hymns were garbled and extended to serve his passionate meaning. Just how far this hymna1 courtship was sup plemented by spoken words Is matter about which tho parties differ radically, but tho hymn book serves as an indubitable record. The girl doesn't seem to have lost her pres ence of mind for a moment, however, on these occasions of mingled piety, poetry and pas sion, for she coolly dated each of the amended verses. Thus she preserved in chronological order the chaps pencilings, and she hopes that the hymn book will be worth $1O, 900, that being the sum for which she has made ready to sue.-New York Sun.

The Fortress of the Future.

Well, in our day, the military engineer recommends, not the vitrified 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- fled inclosures had a profile of considerable dimensions. The obstacle consisted of a wall which was no less than from sixty to ninety five feet in thickness. The scarps of Nine veh, for example, and those of Babylon, were more than eighty-fve feet Why did ancient engineers adopt such dimensions, which now appear to us so hugea Because it was necessary to oppose a great resistance to tho 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. If 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 a metallic cuirass alone resist the action of shells containing breaking charge-such as melinite gun cotton. Hence it follows 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.

A Fair in the Forest.

The Fete des Loges is 0 very curious fair, for it is held in the middle of the Forest of St. Germain. No train runs within two or three miles of the spot, therefore it needs some courage to reach it. It Is just this diff culty that renders it attractive and romantic The Forest of Germain is as mysterious as central Africa to most Parisians and much moro alluring. You do not expect to see 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. Gernain.
 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 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. Parsians are not bold excursion ists. 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. Germain. The Fete des Loges supplies this motive.-Paris Cor. Boston Transcript.

Travelling in Gypsy Fashion.

A young English couple, copying the fashion of the gypsies, are travelling on the continent in a built up wagon or a species of land yacht. From a description of the vehicle, the inmates appear to have made themselves as comfortable as the circum- scr1bed space at their disposal would allow. In one corner of the single room, which Is ct once dining room, drawing room, bed cham Der and kitchen, lies madame's portfolio of sketches, in another monsieurs photographic apparatus, while fixed in ingenious fashions to the walls, pretty much as on board ship, are rows of cooking untensils, plates, glasses, fishing rods and great variety of odds and ends. For cooking purposes 0 petroleum stove is used. The caravan is drawn by two robust little Breton horses, which are said to cover good deal of ground every day. Tho system can be improved upon by the aid of sumpter pony, that would add greatly to tho convenience and comfort of this pleasant nomadic existecce.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Tho German Hotel Porter.

In German hotels you come in contact only with the porter and head waiter. The porter is usually selected for his intelligence, for his ability as Q linguist and for his size-his height, rather. You make all inquiries of him concerning tho hotal, about the arrival and departure of trains, the sights of the town, etc., and you invariably get civil and intelli- gent replies to all your questions. The so called porter portier), however, in no sense corresponds with the American idea of 0 porter, nor is he called upon to do the slight est physical labor. He receives guests, sees them depart and makes himself very useful in many ways, but as for lifting trunk or carrying sachel, this is entirely beneath his position and his dignity. The actual porter performs this labor, and both of these off, cials expect and receive fee on the guests departure. In paying your bill at Q Ger man hotel you see neither proprietor, man ager nor porter; neither will receive it, you are obliged to pay the waiter, who thus makes sure e his fee.-"M. F." in Home Journal.

Actor Xyarren's Dienified Humility.

During q talk held, year or two ago, with the delightful veteran actor who has just left us, William Warren, of Boston, he told me story of himself that seemed to mo finer piece of dignifed humility than anything ke had ever enacted on the boards After the death of a we'll known Bostonian, some years since, MT. Warren, who had been one of his friends, was invited to be pail bearer at the funeral. "On going to the place appointed" he said ''I learned for the first time that my companion in the funeral procession was to be MT. Robert c. Winthrop. 1 went at once to tho gentleman who had charge of the ar arrangements, and said to him decisively, This must not bel The thing is utterly inappro- priate. MT. Winthrop is an historic charac- ter; he bears an historic name, and has added dignity to it by his own career. l am strolling actor; the Boston public is accus- toned to seeing me ill all manner of grotesque costumes and ludicrous positions. l should be wholly out of place beside MT. Winthrop on an occasion like this, and every one who looked on us would feel it as I do' Accord ingly, the arrangement was completed" When asked ''Did MT. Winthrop ever know about this circumstance?" he said, thought fully, II cannot say, but l suspect that he did The next time we met in the street, he raised his hat to me with great courtesy, al though we were not previously acquainted, and Wo met, With tne same greeting, several times afterward"
 am far from thinking that this piece of generous self humiliation was needed, but whether it was or not, how fine the situation, how almost Shakespearian the recognition of subtle human propriety! Who does not like to think of these two men of similar years and dissimilar lives, both such well known figures on the streets of Boston, and passing each other from day to day with this silent and dignifed greeting, as expressive as the ceremonious snuff box of colonial times Yet surely there is something curious and almost undesirable in profession which can suggest to one of its most honored ornaments such self depreciation as this. A blacksmith, shoemaker, would have had no such feel ing, but would have walked side by side with tho most eminent citizen without any thought of incongruity, so strong is tho force of re- publican institutions. Can it be that, as an actor once pointed out to me, men of his vo- cation very rarely vote, and so feel them selves no part of the political community | Harper'S BaZar.

THE LONDON BUS.
Space Allowance for Each Passenger-Reg-
 uIations-The Driver.

Omnibus service in London is excellent, and although the rate of fare is ridiculously low the London General Omnibus company, which controls most of the oInnibuses in London last year declared a dividend of 10 per cent. Some omnibuses have three horses abreast, and are licensed to carry forty-two passengers--twenty inside and twenty-two outside. It. is part of a policeman's duty to watch omnibuSes and see that they do not carry moro than the licensed number, and they perform this duty with considerable zeal Each passenger is allowed sixteen inches of space, and as rule every Londoner will insist on his sixteen inches.
 The rate of omnibus fare is something like a penny two cents) mile on some lines and less than that on others. You can ride from the Albert memorial i'll Hyde Park, east ward, to Regent Circus, nearly two miles, for two cents, but there is also Q halfpenny bus From Charing Cross to and over Westminster bridge, you can ride for one cent, ill fact that sum is the only fare charged on this line. The vehicle carries just ten passengers, so that the company receives ten cents for each trip. The 'buses start full from each terminus and seldom pick up pas sengers on the way.
 Omnibus drivers receive S1O 50 week excellent wages for men of their class. It has often been said that the best way to see London-its streets, buildings and it's people, from an outdoor point of view, is to get on the top of an omnibus. Omnibus drivers arc a good natured, jolly set of fellows, and by no means do they lack intelligence. They see very great deal of human nature from their elevated position in life, and they learn much. If you get on box seat, next to the driver, and you desire information or enter tainment on the way, you will find the driver
  as he is you need not fear that you offer an insult if you offer ''tip;" in fact he expects it. He augments his salary to fair extent ip this way. He saves choice seats for the regular riders, and they "remember" him occasionally.-Cor. Home Journal.

Many Methods of Diyinatton.

Until one makes a careful study of this subject, he cannot have any adequate idea of the extent of it's ramidcations. An old writer enumerates as many as fifty-three methods of divination, some of which-as sciomancy, or divination by shadows; typo nancy, or divining by means of the coagula- tion of cheese, etc. arc obsolete; while others-like chiromancy, or palmistry, onei- romancy, or dream interpretation, and clero- nancy, or casting lots-are still in vogue. Many educated men yet attach importance to the predictions of horoscope. It will be remembered that in the last valume of the sAife of Lord Lytton" IS a curious specimen of one the author cast of Lord Beaconsfeld, when only MT. Disraeli. Tho future life of the great statesman was most accurately pre- dicted, but the brilliant career then fore shadowed appeared so unlikely that Lord Lytton himself seems to have somewhat doubted the fulfillment of his own prophecies.
