They AssImilafa A QuicklI.

There is one feature of life in New
York that always causes considerable
comment among strangers to the ways
of the big city.
This is the fact that in exploring
the city they find q 90 Chinese quarter"
- Little Italy," a " French qnsrter, !"
a neighborhood inhabited almost ex-
clusively by Hebrews, and another
around Tompkins square sacred to Ger
mans. There is another locality known
as the ' Tenderloin District" that Is
crowded with Africans.
But there is no Japanese quarter, de-
spite the fact that there are several
thousand Japanese in and around New
York. The manner in which the jap
anese assimilate and adapt themselves
to American manners and customs,
strikingly indicates their adaptability
for citizenship.
Our Japanese friends are in all sort.
of professions. They sell bric-s-brac
and Japanese goods. and, in addition,
are large importers of various kinds of
goods. Many of them are very
wealthy-quite as wealthy as the
Chinese merchants in Mott street-sev-
eral of whom have bank accounts that
run up into the hundreds of Thousands.
But instead of congreeating in q
single locality as the Chinese do the
Japanese are scattered all over this city
and Brooklyn, and instead of clinging
to old customs and styles of dress, they
are as American as any Of the Ameri-
cans themselves. The down town i'm
porters one meets are invariably
dressed in the height of fashion as
known to us, and there is nothing
about them to distinguish them from
the average prosperous man of busi-
ness among whom they mix. There
are no other of our foreign-born resi-
dents who so quickly adapt themselves

accepted, and the boy performed

Beneath a dazzling arch of rainless skies,
And 'e'en the green acacia buds grow sere,

And hold 1t TO her lips, until her sighs
Have ceased, and all before her ancient

Whence hast thou this fine potionl Is II

Upon whose peaks no earthly sunbeam
