lie was great big double listed,

as John l.. Sullivan would love to meet
in friendly manner. He was the
landlord of an Idaho "hotel." one
that knew just what his board ers
wanted and-let them want. The
boarders, workmen in a neighborino
mine, used to say he kept the house
on the European plan-furnished lodg-

something you could eat. But they
never took him to one side and dis
played the fact to him with diagram.
One day while he was hanging

BEDDING IN JAPAN.

by the Mikado's Subjects.
The Japanese bed is simply futon
spread upon the mating. They lie on
this. and spread another futon over
them, and rest their heads upon
wooden pillows. and are happy. A
futon is a thickly wadded cotton quilt
exactly like our comfortable, and
very nice arrangement such a bed is
for the housekeeper. The bed is easily
made. and in the morning the futon Is
folded and put away in closet, and
the "ohamber work. is done. They
wear no night dresses, but as every
person, even in the poorest and
humblest station, takes a hot bath
once. and in the majority of cases
twice, a day, there is nothing unclean-
ly in the wearing of the same dress at
night which is worn in the day. The
one futon spread upon the mating
was rather hard bed for our unac-
customed sides, so we had six or eight
thicknesses put down. and instead Of
the luxurious wooden pillow, we had
one futon rolled and put at the head Of
our alleged couch. Thus we made
really comfortable bed. Then mos
quito MEETINGS were brought in, and
the Japanese have reduced this branch
OF household comfort to science.
The nets are as large as the room, and
fastened by the corners to hooks in
each corner of the room, and when
one has gracefully and quickly crawled
under the edge, as boys in my day
used to crawl under the canvas of
circus text, he is as comfortable and
secure as possible. Nets for children
are made on little frames, and put
over the children wherever sleep over
takes them; and have often and often
seen children, in all the innocence of
unclothed nature, in vara ndahs and
porches and open front rooms OF
houses, covered by these MEETINGS.

there better than they do in any other
land, for l do not now recollect that

my travels in Japan, and there were
often many of them at the tea houses
where we stopped. do not generalize
and say that children do not cry at

CAPUCHlN CATACOMBS.

VIII carleton Describes the Unique Nor
tuary Place of Palermo.
The most un que curiosity of this
city is the Capuchin Catacombs. You
enter plain hall hung with multi
tude OF small paintings. These are
pictorial tragedies, telling the form
in which death came to those within.
But this was only the ante-room to the
great assembly room of death. A mild,
innocent-looking, barefooted monk led
us into long corridor, with strong
shelves upon each side-arranoed not
unlike the berths of a steamer, only
there were five or six of them in a tier.
Upon these shelves lay in full view
the skeletons of the departed-many
of them clothed as if they were still
living. Some of them had white kid
gloves upon their hands; one woman
was dressed in pink satin. and the
poor, grinning skull wore white lace
cap. surrounded by wreath of pink
artificial roses. Two brothers en-
braced in death; sometimes whole
family were thus reunited.
Oi'oh ehcio were suspended near
the bodies their photographs while liv-
ing. There never could be given to
mankind palmer lesson concerning
the vanity of all eartly objects. The
beauty of womanhood smiled within
few inches of the shrunken bones
that formed it's doleful wreckage.
Handsome and intellectual man-faces
apologized for the poor. idiotic-look-
ing remains that lay behind them. A
lovely girl of eighteen and a grand
faced old lady of eighty were
among the life-and-death contrasts.
Many of the dead stood upright. 10
niches-their own grim statues. Some
bowed their blighted heads. as if in
deep reflection; others were kneeling
as in prayer. Sometimes group of
cronies sat together. as if talking over
old times. None but could easily be
found byinquiring friends. for each and
every one bore tablet containing his
name and the date of his death.
Cardinals in their faded red robes
were there; Bishops by the score; lords
and ladies by the hundred; and King
anu queen were not wanting to rule over
this silent and peaceful colony of the
grave. Through not only one but many
of these awful corridors our bright
faced monk led us-for there are eight
thousand guests in this solemn hostelry.
In the middle of the floors were great
piles of collins, heaped up like luggage
at railway station. Some of them
were Widowed with glass, and showed
plainly their CHASTITY occupants. 9th
