Chatter, clatter, clstter What noise
the people make as they 60 along the
road! They all wear wooden sandals,
and their stockings are kind of nit
ten with finger foE the big toe. Dur
ing wet weather, their sandals become
stills, and the whole Japanese nation
increases its stature by three inches
whenever it rains. These sandals are
held to the foot by straps coming
over the toes, an l there is a straw sole
between the foot and the sandal of
wood. A tall japanese on a silt san
dial closely approaches the ridiculous.
He sometimes tucks up his long gown
under his belt to keep it from being
spattered by the mud, and the backs of
his bare calves seem to be walking off
with the man. The Japanese walk is
peculiar. The men put their feet
straight in froat of them, ike the
American Indian. They lift them high
off the ground, and they have get
thera-air about them. The women
wabble and wabble; they bend over as
they walk, and they have what is now
in America, the fashionable stride,
Their little feet in sandals turn inwards
and all female Japanese are pigeon
toed. Your Japanese beauty is not
averse to showing her aCkle, and the
soul of the Japanese beau does not
f1utter when he sees two. inch slice of
cream colored skin above a three-inch
foot mitten. The Japanese shoe store
is one of wooden ware rather than of
leather, and the cobbler mends mis-
shoes with the chisel and palmer,

While camping at City Creek Canyon my
wife discovered that our youngest child
had become deaf, and notified me to
come Immediately so as to take them
home. 1t seemed to me almost i'm
probable, for when they left home her
hearing was perfect; but all our en-
deavors to make her hear seemed fruit
less.
We brought the child home 10 this
city, thinking the deafness only transit

one became impaired and rash COW

the 18th of September we we're recon-
mended by Mr. Sears to Drs. Whe eler &

give US sn honest diagnosis and that

Acting upon bis advice, we consulted
the doctors. They gave US hopes of re-
storing the child's health and hearing.

am told that only small part of
Japan is cultivated, and the authori
ties state that two-tenths of it has as
yet not been brought into use. Still
the land that 1 have seen is 80 carefully
cared for that this seems almost i'm
possible. The country about Toxic
and Yokohama is divided into ga den
patched, and there is not a weed TO be
seen anywhere. The soil is as black as
that of the Nile Valley. and it is as
deep as the top soil of the State of
Kansas, which Senator ingalls, says is
so thick that you can push your arm
down into it up to the shoulder and pull
out earth which is as rich as guano, in
YOUR fist. The soil of Japan is kept in
this state by the use, almost entirely,
by the fertil Ger of the water closet.
Every bi, of night soil is saved and the
sewerage is carried in buckets aud carts
and scattered over the land. This is
done nightly, and at certain hours of
the evening. Toxic smells worse than
Naples There is no system OF sewer
age in this city. save that of surface
drainage, and it is q wonder to me that
cholera and typhoid fever are not more
often epidemic. The smsll from the
fields aud the rice paddles are as bsd
at certain times of the year as in the
city, and Japan has muc0 to learn on
sanitary matters. With such condi-
tons, no country can have a pure
healthy water, and in many of the
homes here the water clo.et and the
we'll are side by side. Foreigners do
not, as a rule. drink the waters OF

and there are no Water or gas pipes
running through them. The water of
Toxic is not conducted into the houses,
but it exists in wells along the sides of
the streets. These wells are of wood
or stone above tue ground, and there
is about one or two to block. They
are as big around as small hogshead
sawed off two feet from the top, and
the water is drawn from them in
wooden buckets attached to long
bamboo poles. One of the sights con-
stanIly before your eyes here is semi
naked man or woman tugging at these
bamboo poles to get the water for the
house supply, and it is from these wells
that the supply for the daily baths is
taken.

A curious city it is. The streets
look more like the bazaars of fair
than the blocks of city, and their low
ridoed roofs rarely cover more than
+vo stories. The floors are two feet
above the ground, and the caves OF the
roofs overhanging SO that fully three
feet of ground is sheltered before the

WAGES or slides, and during the day

The streets of Toxic are not narrow
like those of China or of the older parts
of European cities. One is not jostled
as he moves along them, and the crowd
of slant eyed men and women clad in
drG ssing gowns of all colors of the rain
bow is good natured one. and they
laugh and bow low to each other as
they meet. The japanese back is cas-
tic. The India rubber man at the cir
Gus would wear himself out in Japan,
and the Japanese bowers seem to never
get through. They salaam and salaam
and the lower classes knock their heads
against the earth, as t.ey go down on
their knees in paying their respects to
their superiors. 1t bothers one to be
the recipient of 80 much attention, ano
the American feels his awkwardness
when he attempts the japanese bow.
1t is, however, not unpleasant, and
with it all, there is little servility and
fawning. l am struck with the open
kindly expression of the Japanese face
They seem 10 treat travellers as broth

fine buildings. Some of them are OF

Japan is a land made and run by
human muscle. The cattle and horses
are few, and human sweat makes
Japan's bread. The mail wagons are
pulled by men, and the streets and the
castle grounds are watered By push
carts. These are filed with great
buckets which, fastened to bamboo
poles, are dipped by the water carriers
into the deep moats and the water
poured into the carts. Some of the
streets of Toxic are watered with buck
cts, and 1 saw bare legged and bare
chested men carrying two big wooden
buckets of water, each of which, 1
shoulp judge, held about four gallons.
One OF these buckets was fastened to
each end of pole about four feet long
and as thick ss your wrist, and this
pole was balanced on the bare shoulder
of the man. As he walked along, he
turned stick which made the water
drip through a number of holes in the
bottom of the bucket. He carried his
load up one side of the street and down
the other, and thus laid the dust. His
wages were, 1 am told, somewhere be-

The whole nation is open at the chest,
and only the aristocrats wear under
clothes. The gowns of the men and
women consist, in the summer, of q
loose flowing garment which they wrap
about them in folds and fasten at the
waist with sash. In this sash the
men carry their pipes and their pocket
books, and you may often see curl
ously shaped brass tube with head at
the end OF it sticking out of their belt.
This is a pen holder, and it contains
an inkstand and brush.
The sights of an American street are
missing. There are few carriages and
fewer horses. You may not meet q
cart in a mornings walk, and the street
car, new institution here, is seen only
on the Ginsa, which IS Tokio's Fifth
Avenue and Broadway all in one. The
avaricious cabman is missing, and the
Jinriksha man has taken his place.
These bare-legged, big hated men dart
here and there throughout Toxic, and
they will run their sturdy legs ali day
for dollar. You may hire them tor
10 cents an hour, and you can have TWO
men to pull you for double fare. There
are $4,000 of them in Toxic alone.
They are in general use all over Japan,
and China is fast introducing them.
felt rather ashamed at first of using a
man as a beast of burden, but one soon
gets used to it, and urges the human
horst to hurry. The average Jinriksha
costs about $40.
