Gloom in New York.

"Do you know what most forcibly
impresses a foreigner visiting New
York for the first time?' asked a
titled member of the British iron
workers.
1.-The dirt?''
"No," said the ironmaster. E"The
dirt is bad enough in all truth; but
something more Important than
this strikes any foreigner Of average
power of reflection. 1t is the eX-
traordinary cloud of gloom and
preoccupation which hangs over the
citizens of New York. 1t has an al
most saddening effect upon a
stranger. I do not wish you to
think that I am speaking recklessly
or fippantly. I am not. The thing
has impressed me forcibly ever since
l have been here, and l do not recall
any other city in the world where it
is so noticeable.
I'm Chicago business men look
worried and excited; in Boston there
is a large enough leisure element and
sufficient jollity to amuse any crowd,
and so it is in all of the other cities
of the country. But New York men
have the gloom of Egyptian mum
mics. You may enter and leave a
thousand elevated cars without
seeing a smiling face, and men talk
with one another with the serious
and preoccupied look of criminals
discussing their fate in the cells of
jail. Visitors to New York always
speak of it as very jolly place, but
the citizens of the town apparently
miss all the fun. New York World.

Japanese Superstitions.


The household superstitions of ia
pan are very numerous, says a writ
er in the Philadelphia Press. They
are harmless, often exciting laughter;
yet SO intrenched are they in the
household that reliable argument,
even ridicule cannot destroy them.
Some of these superstitions have a
moral or educational purpose, incul-
eating lessons of benevolence. neat
ness and habits OF cleanliness. A
room is never swept Immediately
after the departure of the inmate for
fear Of sweeping out the luck. At a
marriage ceremony neither the bride
nor the groom wears any clothing of
a purple color lest their marriage be
soon dissolved, purple being a color
most liable to fade. If the cup of
medicine is upset by accident during
the illness OF a person tits sure sign
Of his recovery. This looks as if the
Japanese had faith in our prove7b,
"Throw physic to the dogs" There
are some curious ideas in regard to
the finger nails. They must not be
cut before starting on a journey lest
disgrace fall upon the person at his
destination. Neither should they be
cut at night, lest cats claws should
grow out. Children who throw the
parings OF the nails into the fire are
in danger Of some great calamity. If
a piece should fly into the fire while
cutting the person will soon die.
The bowling Of a dog portends
death. If a woman steps over an
egg shell she will go mad; if over a
razor it will become dull; if over a
milestone it will break. If a man
should set his hair on fire he will go
mad. Children are told if they tell a
lie an oni (imp) will pull out their
tongues. The wholesome terror of
the oni, ready to run away with his
'1gue, has caused many aJapanese
oath to speak the truth.
The Japanese have a horror of the
darkness they always keep a light
burning to ward off ghosts. The
junkmen believe in a ghost who
comes to them and politely
asks to borrow a dipper. The an
swer decides the fate OF the ,junkman
If a dipper with q bottom is be-
slowed upon the ghost he uses it to
bail water enough to swamp the
junk, but if the bottom can be knock
ed out and thrown at him he disap.
pears. In this last case the act
must be accompanied by an incanta-
ton, or the ghost turns into a sea
cappa-a many-clawed monster
who will drag the junk to the bot
tom.
The Japanese are a gentle, sensi-
tive race, very much under the influ-
ence of their emotions. Love with
them is a serious matter, often one
OF life or death. Disappointment in
love or desertion frequently ends in
suicide. Sometime the girl becomes
an avenger and implores the gods to
curse or visit with death the destroy
er of her peace. The passions which
thrill and torment the human soul
are as intense in far-way heather Ja-
pan as those lands which boast a
higher civilization.

He Fooled His BiSllOD.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.

l. Jill ehC LII oOhly Il C1ClLeh
A good story is told of one of the
most popular clergymen in a city
not 100 miles from Brooklyn. He is
pleasant, genial man, and on a
certain eveing in every week a few OF
his brother priests meet at the recto,
ry and they spend together an hour
or two in a social way. Some cur
mudgeon in the neighborhood, hap
pening to get a glimpse through
the blinds at a bottle and glasses and
the smoke OF cigars, and to hear the
sound of fearful laughter, thought it
behoOved him to let the bishop know
what was going on. Thereupon he
wrote to that distinguished function
airy, of course greatly exaggerating
what he had seen and heard. The
worthy priest got wind OF
this in some mysterious way and
was on his guard. One night while
he and his friends we're enjoying
themselves a ring came to the door.
Going upstairs to the second floor,
the good father saw brigham OF
familiar build standing outside.
Raising the window he looked down
and discovered the bishop on the
stOOp.
"Who's there?" he asked.
'It's l, the bishop" was the reply.
ooh, go along! You're an impos-
ter" said the priest "The bishop
is a decent gentleman, and would
never he roaming around the streets
at this time of night. Be off with
you at once, or I'll call the police and
have you taken in as a suspicious
character"
With that he banged down the
window and went back to his friends.
The bishop paid no more late visits
to the rectory, and the pleasant
weekly symposium is continued.

crowd started off with:
ct was just such night as this
and just at this hour, when I went
through the bridge at Fort Dayton,
and was the only one in the car to
escape alive. All the Others were
drowned"
'"The car went into the water, eh?'
asked aman wearing a soiled linen
duster.
Eyes sir.
Gear went into the water! It was
at Fort Dayton, Iowa? What river,
please?''
"The Mo-Moline," choked the
drummer, and it was plain to see
that he had only made a stab at it..
"Moline river, eh! When was
this?
GIN 1888"
"What month";"
August"
"What date?''
"The 17th.'
'Thank you. Let US see. Here is
my note book. Let me turn to the
date. All! I have it. August II,
1888. Well sir. | find that on that
date the Moline river was just 100
miles distant from Fort Dayton
and that Fort Dayton had neither
q bridge nor a railroad. You must
have made a mistake, sir. Wasn't
it a cider mill or a cheese factory on
the Wabash river in Indiana you
escaped from?'
The liar pulled off his coat and
offered to fight any man in the
crowd, but il was no use. The man
in the buster had already knocked
the stufting out of him.
