Japenese Hotel Keeping.
Glohe Democrat.

Globe Democrat.
AT Japenese inns Il charge ranging
from forty cents to a dollar is made
for days commodaton. For less
than the forty cents Japenese gets
his lodging and all his meals, but for
eigners are so clumsy, untidy and
destructive and their tastes so out of
range of Japenese catering that they
are mde to pay the higher price, and
it includes for them the lodging and
bedding and all the tea, rice and hot
water they may want. If fish, fowl
or eggs are provided they are paid for
as extras. Foreigners, in travelling
in the interior, always take with
them regular guide, who does all
that a courier does in Europe, and
cooks and serves the meals besides,
for the sum of 81 day and his eX-
penses. Residents take their own
cook or boy along with them, and
carry with them black tea, coffee,
wine, condensed milk, bread and
fresh or preserved meats. Knives,
forks and spoons must be carried as
well, unless the traveller is an adept
with chopsticks.
If one follows in the beaten tracks
he can always get bread and fresh
beef, but off the line or in any of the
small remote places he will be unable
to find those foreign necessities,
which the rural Japenese have not
yet adopted as their luXuries. In
nearly all tea houses one now finds
chairs and tables, but the chairs are
straight, hard and uncomfortable,
and if he wants to rest or sit at ease
he must make an Oriental divan of
his futOns, and find a solid end wall
or post from prop to his back. This
keeps one to the Japenese way of
living on the floor, and as there are
never nails nor hooks on Japenese
walls, he has to hang everything up
the floor.

The 1887 Corn Crop.

The government statistician, in his
March report, gives some interesting
figures in regard to the last years
corn crop. From the effects of
drought the average yield per acre
was only twenty bushels, whereas
the average for several years has been
twenty-siX bushels. 1t seems that
this and the six preceding crops have
made medium to low averages. The
consumption seems to have contract
ed to fit the reduced crOp-being 94S,-
000,000--and leaves on hand March
lst sos, 100000 bushels-about 1907
100000 bushels less than was on hand
same time last year. The south has
100000 bushels more corn on hand
now than ut this time ayear ago, and
the west has 127 100000 bushels less.
The crop in the south was very good
and that in the west very poor. AS
to prices on the farm corn for 1887
averaged ll.4 cents, and it was 3
cents higher March |. The averags
price for 1856 was 36.6 cents. In
Kentucky the average price for 1857
was - cents, leading all the corn pro-
ducing States.

The Hard Work Exacted by Peasants

plain and straight, and long piece
of cloth over their heads like Arabs.
The wheat is sown broadcast, and if
not cut by the women with sickles is
harvested with the old-fashioned
scythe, which is two-pound snead
and broad, short blade. From the
snead up to the handle there is
wooden bow, something like, in APP
pearance, half of q heavy barrel hoop.
This bow keeps the wheat etc,
from falling back over the

never yet seen man who would
deign to gather up bind and stack the

Did Sherman Do III

The Washington Post has the Iol-
lowing to say in regard to the let
ter written last week by NJ. ], G.
Blaine, in which he positively de.
clines to accept , nomination for
President. It.explains itself. The
Post regards the act ofthe joint let
ter-writess as unfair, and a disin-
genuous trick.
.'The Post has the most respecta-
BILE and the most reliable authority
tor the statement that two or more
candidates for the Presidential nom
ination at the Chicago convention
put their heads together some time
ago, and contriyed a plan to get Mr..
Blaine out of the race, The result
of this continuance was that when
Mr.. Blaine reached Paris he found
several letters awaiting him, and
not the least portion, letters from
these Presidential conspirators as
they have been termed, to the knowl-
edge of the Post. The writer of one
of these letters was Senator John
Sherman. The name of the emf
nent gentlemen who wrote the 9TH
er will probably be known later, and
before it is much later. The two
letters-it is not certain at present
that there we're more than two
dealt with the same subject, and
were similar in tone. Both remon.
atrated with Mr., Blaine for allowing
state of misunderstanding to ex-
list concerning his candidacy for the
Presidency. Both expressed the
utmost confidence that Mr.. Blaine
meant every syllable of his Flor
ence letter, but pointed ont that the
misinterpretation of that letter by
some Of Mr.. Blaine's friends (whose
friendship was too ardent for pollt-
ical discretion) was embarrassing |
everybody, denoralizing party or
ganization, and threatening the u
ter disintegration, and hopeless de-
feat Of the Republican party Both
letters appealed to Mr.. Blaine to do
something at once to relieve the
party ofthis embarrassment. Both
letters spoke of the eternal friend
ship Of the writer's for Mr.. Blaine in
The past and assurance of contin-
lance Ill the future. Both writer's
swore by all that was political that
they would stick to Mr.. Blaine while
here was a button on his coat, and
that they would never lave entered
the field as candidates themselves if
they had not had the assurance of
his Florence letter that he was en-
-irely out OF the race, Both urge d
