There are hundreds Of Americans in Japan.
The japanese dictionary which is now in use
was gotten up by DR. Hepburn, a missionary
physician and il was an American who gave to
Japau its postal service. This man was Mr..

through mismauagement-and,i 10 may be. dis

aud the young man has Strengthened up aud IS

There are a number or Americans employed
in the japanese universities. aud you VIII find
American men AID women teaching school all
over Japan. The great authority on japanese
subjects is W f. Grifiis who lives. / think,

far East there is colony of English-speaking
people at all the larger ports, and among these
are many Of our own citizens. In Korea the
only foreign mercantile firm IS an American
one Ii is known as the firm Of Morse * Town
sheud. and il is composed OF two bright young
fellows from Boston, who have settled at
Chemulpo, and who do business with all parts
Of the kingdom. They put the electric-lights
in the Kings palace and they carry on their
business in copper cash. about 1900 Of which

the new palace Of the Mikado with electric

Most Of the Americans In Turkey outside Of
the Legation are missionaries or travellers.
do not think we have any American merchants
in the Turkish EMPIRE and American trade
seems 10 be falling off all over the East. We
are lucky indeed IL we send ship through the
Suez Canal once year, and the only American
merchant flag which saw In Asiatic ports was
on vessel going ont from Calcutta. The
greatest mercantile firms Of Americans in the
far East Is that Of Russell & Co., which was
founded early in the last century, and which ia
still one Of the great firms of tho world 1t has
made dozens of fortunes, and it keeps piling up
money with advancing years IL has big houses

modern methods into Chinese civilization. 1t

the world until China bought the line Of IL, and
IL Is a firm Of great influence everywhere in the
hast. In addition TO IT, there are several
smaller firms, which do general business In
Japan and China, but the great American tea
importing houses Of the past have dropped out
OF sight Al present England and Germany
can do business on smaller margin than we
can, and we have such an immense territory Of
our own TO develop that 1t does not pay us to
venture among the Chinese.

especially fine dinner is TO call John in from the
kitchen and tell him that she wants a number
one meal for so many persons. John Chinaman
does all the marketing, plans the bin of fare,
decorates the table properly with flowers, and
he never gets drunk and never wants to 90 out
in the evening. After an American girl has
lived six months in Japan or China she thinks
it great trouble 10 have 10 go to the well for
a glass of water. She stops waiting on herself
and drops into the royal life of having lots of
servants and little 10 do. She becomes so used
20 this luxurious life that when she returns to
America she is not satisfied, and pines for the
East again.
The National tribune., 1889-12-12

This easy living is not confined to the NOR
chants and people of wealth abroad. It is the
same with the missionaries They live well,
have plenty of servants good houses aud do not
suffer for want of food The homes of the
missionaries are among the finer houses of the
East and the majority of them live better in
the East than they can possibly live on the
same SALARIES in America. lt is on this account
that so much criticism is made by our naval
officers and the foreign merchants of the East
They seem TO have tho idea that the mis-
sionary in order 10 do good and to he true
TO his profession must herd with the hea-
then and sleep on the floors. They do
not investigate as to the amount of
good they are doing, but only as TO whether
they are making martyrs Of themselves or not
In all OF the Eastern colonies there seems to be
an antagonism between tho missionaries aud
the outside merchants. The missionaries have
their own society, and they flock by themselves
This is, / believe, largely their fault, and
think they could materially increase their own
influence by a closer association with those Eng
lishmen and Americans who live i'm the East
and who are engaged in business there. They
are representative as To social matters and they
are often not willing 10 conform TO those rules of
etiquet which govern society more in the East
than they do in the United States. As to the good
homes Of the missionaries would make them
even better than they are. and / would give
them two servants where they now have one.
One Of the brightest men | met i'm my tour
around the world was Bishop Fowler, Of the
Methodist Church, who was travelling in Asia
visiting the mission stations. spoke TO him as
10 missionary homes, and asked him what he
thought OF the houses of the missionaries. He
replied am glad TO see them as good rs they
are, and would make them better. DO you
