The Japanese Merchant.

The Japanese are content with little,
and 1t is from this attribute of their
nature that Americans need not ex-
pect to compete with them in business
In their own country. They do bust
ness on q margin that would ruin an
American tradesman, and if they
make 8 cents on the sale of a.watch or
10 cents in selling q clock, they are
satisfied. Where a thrifty tradesman
can live and bring up,a family on $40
a month there is little hope for the
luxurious American. The whole ma
ton seems to be engaged in what a
Connecticut Yankee would call a
whiting business. The stocks of
many of the stores would not bring S.
at auction, and the merchant sits like
the Turk in his bazaar surrounded by
his goods and with his legs crossed
serves his customers. His floor is his
counter, and his goods hang on the
wall or are piled within easy reach of
his hands. He has a space altogether
about as large as a small bedroom
and the whole of the front of this is
open: Tho floor is raised about two
feet from the ground and the custom
ers sit ON the edge as they haggle over
the prices.
Inc Japanese always asks
three times as much as he expects TO
get. You offer him one-ffth and
gradually reach the third. He gives
you a tiny cup of tea!and places beside
you a bowl Of charcoal for your pipe
while you are looking at his goods,
and as a rule it seems TO be Indifferent
to him whether you buy or not. If
you go away without buying he bows
politely and says "Sayonara,n fare
well, with as kind a smile as though
you make a purchase, and if you offer
him something out of the usual order
he makes his calculation on a Chinese
calculating machine, consisting of a
box of wooden buttons strung on
wires. By moving these up and down
he adds and subtracts quite as quickly
as We do with pencil and paper, and
his figures are rarely wrong.-Frank
q. Carpenter.

Tho Cure for Hear. Neuralgia.

Angina pectoris (agony of the chest
carries off many people, one Of whom,
according to the newspapers, was the
novelist, the Rev. E. P. Roe, who ex-
pired in n day because of its crushing
anguish. Maj. Gen George B. McClef-
Ian, according to the published reports
of that time, likewise succumbed after
t~wenty-four hours of uncomfortable pain.
Just how these patients were treated I
am unable to sayj but DR.. Richardson,
of London, long before Gen. McClellan's
death, had received a prize of $4,000
francs from the Academy of Medicine In
Paris for having discovered an almost
infallible remedy for angina pectoris by
the administration, in the small doses of
LOO to 1-25 of a grain, of nitro-glycer-
incl This discovery entities Dr.. Richard
son to the ending gratitude of
every suffering man, woman or child
afflicted with angina pectoris.
1 know q number Of persons who
always carry tablets Of n~itro-glycerine
with them, and 1 an equally certain that
all these people, by the use Of nitro
glyoerine, are living in comparative COM
fort, who would otherwise have fallen
under the insupportable torture of that
form of heart neuralgia, the most dread
full of all pains.-Montrose A. Pallen,
NJ. D., in Belford's Magazine.

Something Abou. New South Wales.

Now q little about the colony of New
South Wales. This Is the Oldest and
richest of all the colonies and the parent
Of them all. In 1924 Tasmania, then
known as Van Diemen's Land, was sep
arated from New South Wales and be-
came al Independent colony. Four years
afterward the colony Of Western Austria
liza was founded, 1886 South Australia
was founded, 1910 New Zealand became
independent, 1851 Victoria was separated,
and the last founded was Queensland in
1859. The northern territory belongs to
South Australia, with Port Darwin as its
capital. New South Wales lies between
80 and 81 dogs. of south lat. and al and
1888 meridian east long. 1t has 800 miles
of -seacoast, with a number Of good har-
bors. Its general shape Is trapezoid, con-
tanning 80, 98S miles, four times as large
as Great Britain or Victoria, or twice as
large as California. As regards the dis
lance from the equator it can be COM
pared to Cape Colony, Chile and the
lower basin of the La Plata in the South
ern Hemisphere, and with Texas, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi the south of Spain, Italy
and Greece, which occupy similar posi-
tons north of the line.-Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle. 10

The discovery Of the Amulet mine, on
Lynx creek, reads more like fiction than
reality. As it has never been In print
we will give it: In July, 1886, +. E.
Doggett, with pick and shovel on his
shoulders, was climbing the Lynx Creek
mountains on his way to examine a
quartz mine. Becoming weary In the
ascent he stopped beneath the friendly
boughs of a juniper tree to rest. After
r~ecuperating for some time he took I'D
his pick, and in throwing it ON his Shout
der it slipped from his hands, and, in
falling behind him, its sharp point
struck him in the leg, causing great pain.
Picking it up with q vehement i'm
precation from the pain it caused
hm he stuck it in the ground, saying 1t
could remain there, and started to walk
away. He had gone but a short distance
when he relented, and, returning, pulled
1t from the ground, bringing with 1t
some bright and shining metal. In his
anger he had unknowingly struck 1t into
a blind ledge, which he located as the
Amulet mine, and from which there has
been over $4,000 worth of high grade
ore shipped. From a careful examina-
ton made of the second class ore, which
has been allowed t remain on the
dumps, 1t is estimated that 1t contains
fully 1000 tons. Samples were procured
from this promiscuously, and sampled
and assayed at theysampling works, CIV
ing a value of S35 per ton, or total value
of the ore on the dumps of $40, OOO.-

A great part Of what Is called a mans
uocess in life depends upon his finding
out in good season what his natural bent
is, and then following ii. James
Nasmyth was particularly fortunate In
this respect. AlthoughSh his father was
an artist, and he himself had no little
aptitude for drawing and painting, vet
he was sure that he was "cut out" for a
a machinist, and q machinist he became.
Having learned his trade, he went to
Manchester to start in business for him
self, and there, among other good people,
he met the Brothers Grant, the famous
Cheeryble Brothers of Dickens.
He was first introduced to Daniel, who
invited him to his house, and presented
him to his noble brother William" as
Daniel always called him At the
dinner table young Nasmyth sat next to
William, and was asked many questions.
How old are your
"Twenty-six."
'Rather young TO begin business on
your own account"
Eyes, but l have plenty of work In
me, and know how to be economical"
What capital have your Nasmyth
confessed that he had only e63.
The old gentleman thought that a very
small amount, but after giving his new
friend sundry cautions he added that he
hu5t Keep MS uedrt up.
"If some Saturday night you should
need money to pay off your hands or for
anything else you will always find a
credit Of $500 at 8 per cent. at my office,
and no security"
Nasznyth was, of course, as much
pleased as surprised, and, as he says,
could only whisper his thanks in return.
To these Mr.. Grant responded with a
squeeze of the hand and a peculiarly
knowing wink.
This wink made a most vivid impress
sion upon the younger man. 1t seemed
fun of all manne of kindness. AS he
describes it, "Mr. Grant seemed to turn
his eye round, and brought his eyebrows
down upon it in a sudden and extraor-
binary manner"
The mobile brother" proved every whit
as kind as young Nasmyth could have
expected or asked for; but it t~ranspired,
a year or two afterward, that the wink
had no immediate connection with his
generosity. In fact, the eye that gave it
was made of glassl 1t now and then got
out of place, and its wearer had to force
it back by that odd contortion of his eye
brows, which, taken in connection with
the conversation then passing, Nasmyth
had understood to be expressive of all
manner of kind intentions.-Youth's
Companion.
