they seem to work with great Iapidity,
yet they do not accomplish one half as
much as a good American mechanic in

feature among them in constructing a
house which puzzle our American car

by far the most interesting part of
Japanese house arc the quest and tea
rooms, but all Japanese houses are not
built the same. Every province in Japan
has mode of building peculiar TO itself;
tor instance, the dwellings at Nagaskia
are differently made from those of Kioto,
while those of Kioto differ from those of
Toxic and other large cities in the north
srn part of the empire. Besides the diff.
fcrcnt ways of building practiced by each
province the high and low class have
their dwellings constructed differently;
they arc the lew class, the middle class.

doorway feet 0 inches by 3 feet IL
inches, and the curiously carved front
window AZ inches by IA inches.
The frame work of an ordinary jan
nnese house is simple aud primitive in
structure. 1t consists of number of
upright beams, which run from the
ground to the transverse beams and in
clines above. The vertical framing is
held together by short strips, which are
let into appropriate notches in the up
rights, to which the bamboo lathing is
fixed. There is no excavation beneath
the house, nor is there d continuous
stone foundation, as with us. The up
rights rest directly and without attach
ment upon single uncut stones, these in
turn resting upon others which have
been pounded solidly into the earth by
means Of a wooden maui.

sight to see these fellows at work, for
they use their hands and feet both at
the same time, their toes being as handy
as their fingers. At first there seems to

down to the board when he reaches the
desired spot, strikes the mark, takes up
the cup and reels up the line us he walks
back. When japanese wants to rip UP
plank he places it across anything
which will elevate it few inches, then

Selling the cleaver looking saw in both

by number of short, quick UP stroke,
he gets through plank; not so speedily
but quite as effectively rs an American
carpenter would with the long slow down
and up strokes of the HAND saw. The
adze, as stated by Mr.. Morse in his work
on Japan, is provided with rough ham
die, bending considerably at the lower
end. tIn summer the carpenters work
with the scantiest clothing possible, and
nearly always barefooted. 1t is n star

"All right; get my bill made out

AT dinner no one spoke to him. In
the smOking-room, which he sought
after dinner, several gentlemen were
conversing about the Chinese opium
dens in Sydney. One gentleman, on
being asked question by the CORE

turned to his companions with a re-

rudeness said:

Nisbet's friend greeted warmly, say

He stopped short in his speech. for
Mr.. Smith dropped the hand he had

''Yes, that is the fellow" said the
correspondent, whose hand was still
in his pocket.
"What fellows" cried the friend.
