Chinese Accountants in Japan.

One custom interests exceedingly the
foreigner, particularly the American, says
Yokohama Japan) letter to the Mail
and Express. On stepping into bank,
almost anywhere in Japan, to have a
check cashed or make a deposit, instead
of the teller or cashier counting your
money, Chinaman ''compradore"
falsely so called) transacts that part of
your business. The larger business
houses likewise of foreigners have the
Chinese "compradore" to count all mon
eys passing through the office. Two
reasons for this; First, experience has
proven the Chinese accountants to be
more rapid and proficient in figures, es-
pecially in counting money, than any
other nationality; second the Chinaman
is reliable "middleman, for racial
reasons, between the bank officers or
firm, and the japanese customer, as there
is no danger of any conspiracy between
this Chinese official and the natives of
this country. Heavy bonds are given by
the Celestial gentleman holding this re-
sponsible position. This and some other
lines of business have induced over two
thousand Chinese to take up their resi-
dence in Yokohama alone.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.


There is too great haste in occupying
n house after its completion. In many
places there is such demand for dwell
ings, and often business apartments, that
as soon as finished they are occupied.
This is especially true Of small dwellings.
There is more danger in this than is sup
posed. There is no health in dampness
and mould under any circumstances. and
in living apartments where tendency is
toward poor ventilation, dampness of
newly finished houses contribute largely
to i'll health. In the town of Basle,
Switzerland, regulation has been adopt
ed which prevents newly built houses
from being occupied until four months
after completion. Under many circum-
stances, so long time as above specified
is not necessary, but it is often well to
err on the side of safety. The size of
the houses, its location, surroundings,
the material used and the state of the
weather enter into consideration Of the
time necessary in which building should
become sufficiently dry for occupancy

Chewing Tea Leaves.

The newest thing in the way of a light,
genteel stimulant that have seen used is
tea, said doctor to ST. Louis reporter.
The leaves are taken dry, just as the
stores sell them, and chewed in the
mouth, the pulp being thrown out after
ward like an old quid of tobacco.
1t is a woman's habit, and has taken
the place of chewing gum to a great ex-
tent, but | have seen one or two young
men experimenting with the tea, and it
may get to be a regular fad l tried it,
but think that no man who uses tobac-
co can get any stimulant out of tea It's
rather harmless, and the stimulating eff
feet is obtained much more quickly by
chewing it than by drinking it. Those
l have seen using it consume much more
of it, too, than they would if they drank
it.
1t is an indoor practice, but, of course,
it spreads. Wen see it on the street cars
and in the theatres, just as the gum
chewing appears TO us now.

CHICKEN PIE.

There are many ways of making
chicken pie, but this is n good one Cut
up as for fricasse pair of tender chick
ems weighing from six to eight pounds
Put them over the fire with quarter of
a pound of salt pork, cut in very thin
strips, and add boiling water to scarcely
cover; simmer slowly until tender Re
move all the nicer pieces, the breasts of
which make four pieces from each chick
en-, the first and second joints each cut
into two. Leave the backs, the tips of
the wings and the necks to simmer an
other hour, adding minced onion and
some parsley Line a very large earthen
pudding dish with good paste; lay in
the pieces of chicken, strain over it the
gravy, which you have thickened slight
ly, put ON the top crust and bake until
the crust is done. When taken from the
oven pour in slowly some of the reserved
gravy through the hole made in the top
of the paste. OF course, all the larger
bones are to be removed when the chick
en- is laid in the paste, and each layer
must be seasoned with salt, pepper and
minced parsley. 1t is good either hot
or cold, and the day after the dinner you
will have chance to sample in the latter
state.
