EVELIKE JAPANESE.
A Modist Londoner's Embarras-
sing Adventure at Yokohama.

London Times.
AT Yokohama Mr.. Caine. NJ. p, had
an embarrassing little adventure. At
the back Of every Japanense house, he
says, is pretty little garden with a
large bath house containing tubs of hot
and cold water. The japanese arc as
scrupulOusly clean in their persons as
in their houses. and often wash all over
two Or three times day. The room i'll
which we had our dinner look out upon
the large open window of the bath
house, in which three men and two
women were Tubing with that abso-
lutte disregard of decency which char
acterized our common parents before
the fall, when they were naked and not
ashamed.
Later on in the evening, as was
passing to my room, one of the wait
resseS, in the costume of Eva, made me
a most profound and grave bow, wish
ing me good night. No japanese has
as yet become civilized enough. with
all their wonderful civilization, to be-
lieve it possible under any circum-
stances that he or she is naked. In
summer time this condition of things is
universal. 1t is little embarrassing
at first to the modest European. but one
soon gets used to it, and accepts it as the
primitive innocence of simple and
guileleSS people.

1T WAS A PRETTY FOOT,
How 1t Created Something of q
Sensation in a Sleeping Car.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The funniest incident of my trip was
in sleeping car. 1t was in the morn
ing, when most of the passengers had
got out of their berths, and only several
sets of curtains were drawn tightly in
front of still slumberoIs persons. Sud-
denly foot was thrust out between
two curtains. 1t was small, white
and symmetricai-not more than
feminine No. 3--aild the merest
bit of ankle in sight looked soft and
fine. The men glanced ut il from the
corners of their wicked eyes. The
women deprecated the exposure. Then
a bold, brazen fellow went right straight
to the pretty foot. grabbed the ankle,
and flung the whole member rudely
into the berth.
''He wouldn't treat his bride so,o said
a woman close by. ''It must be his
sister"
Then the head of q ten-year-old urchin
emerged where the foet had been and
sleepy, angry, boyish voice said: Look
here, Sam, you let me alone. Next time
you ketch q hold of my foot that way
I'll kick the gizard ont of YOU"
There was suosidence of sentiment
tai interest and visibility of mirth.

THE GUILLOTINE.
The French Thought 1t Very
Funny at First.

Harper's Magazine.
And yet 1T is evident that the guillo-
tine was not at first a terror-inspiring
object. One general of the Revolution
airy army had a guillotine engraved on
his seal. The ladies of Tours wore
guillotine earrings, and the "arenger
OF the people, danced with them at the
prOconSular balls. The guillOtine was
a la mode. Its inventor, DIR. Guillotin,
in a speech before the national assem-
bly, on Dec. l, 1859, had said: "With
my machine / slice off your head in

Sumed, soon grew accustomed to tho
fatal machine, fer it even entered the
salons, and MN. de GOncourt relate in
their History of French Society Dur

a little mahogany gullotine was placed
on the table, and the ladies, acting the
role of Samson, placed under the knife
dolls whose heads were portraits of some
enemy-I,ameth, R0bespierre, Bailly or
Lafayette. The head was cut off and
red fluid flowed from the neck. The
doll was bottle, and theblood some
amber-colored liqueur." Society IN
its insOuciance treated as q toy
the instrument which was soon to deel-
mate its ranks. But except in prints
the guillotine is not often represented.
1t is occasionally found on patriotic
snuff boxes, which themselves take the
form of a Phrygian cap. There is one
iron pike-head at the Carnayalet mu-
scum Oh which is engraved an old-fash-
Toned guiilotine worked by rope. On
the knife is engraved Phrygian cap,
and the Inscriptions above and below
are Ca ira" and. ''Vive la tepublique.'
When the guillotine was first used the
