Japanese Frugality.

Some remarkable statements are
made by Professor Rein, scientist
who has been Investigating the mate
rialresources Of Japan. They reveal
q national frugality and economy Of
q marvellous type. The area of ia
pan is less than of California. Its
cultivated lani is less than tenth
of it's total acreage, yet it's products
support about 3S, 100000. In Ja-
pan 1850 persons subsist from each
square mile Of titled land. A people
existing in such circums tances must,
from necessity Of preservation, be
provident, p:instaking, hard work
ing ingenious and frugal. The Japs
appear to deserve all these adjectiyes.
Agriculture with them is literally
marked gardening, because the soil
is required to produce more than any
other place in the world Once a
Week.

Getting Colder in Asia.

A recent writer in the North China
Herald, Of Shanghai, says that the
climate Of Asia is becoming colder
than it formerly was, and it's trop-
ical animals and plants are retreat
ing southwark at a slow rate. This
is true OF China, and it is also the
case in western Asia. The elephant.
in a wild state, was hunted in the
eight century, B. c., by Tiglath Pi-
Lesser. the king of Assyria, near Car
chemish, which lay near the Eu-
pirates in Syria, Four or fvecentu-
ries before this, Thothmes Ill, king
Of Egypt, hunted the same animal
near Aleppo. In high antiquity, the
elephant and rhinoceros were known
to the Chinese; they had names for
them, and their tusks and horns were
valued. In the time of Contucius
elephants were in use for the army
on the IangtZe river. A hundred
and fifty years after this, Mencius
speaks Of the tiger, the leopard, the
rhinoceros and the elephant as hay
ing been, iii many parts Of the en-
pire, driven away from the neighbor-
hood of the Chinese inhabitants by
the founders of the Chou dynasty.
Tigers and lecpards are not yet by
any means extinct in China. The ele-
plant and the rhinoceros are again
spoken Of in the first century of our
era. If to these particulars regard
ing elephants be added the retreat
from the rivers Of South China of the
ferocious alligators that formerly in
tested them, the change in the fauna
ofChina certainly seems to show that
the climate is much less favorable for
tropical animals than it formerly
was. In fact. it appears to have be-
come drier and colder.

He Wanted a Pass.

The multitudeS who think they
ought not to pay railroad fare are
never at IL loss for grounds upon
which to base their applications for
passes. The passenger agents are
used to the most extraordinary petit
tions, some piteous, some audacious,
and now and then one that is down
right humorous. Under this last
head comes an application that was
made to Passenger Agent Ed Smith
of the Baltimore & Ohio the other
day.
Mr. Smith was busy in, his office on
5thavenue, whena tall and very lean
young man came in and asked to see
the passenger agent Mr. Smith no.
ticed that the young mans hair was
very long and that the bottoms Of
his trousers were frayed, but in spite
ofthese ominous signs he said cheeri-
ly: Swell, sir, what can I do for
you?"
Il want TO get to Baltimore"
said the long-haired young man in
pepulchral voice.
You've come to the right place,
sir; we sell tickets for Baltimore to
any one" said Mr.. Smith, waving
his hand toward the ticket counter.
s'No, you don't understand me-"
went on the young man. II have
some beautiful poems here, and when
I've read you one or two am sure
you will see your way to transport
ing me to Baltimore" and with this
the young man tished out a bundle
ofmanuscripttrom his coat tail peck
ct. It was Il warm day and Mr..
Smith did not feel inclined to precip-
itate a conflict; so he sank back into
his chair and the long-haired poet be-
gan to read aloud his illusions. He
read two poems of considerable
length, and he might have read more,
but the second poem had refrain
in which .'along the shore" was
rhymed with call the more" and
Baltimore and Mr.. Smiths good
nature ouldn't stand that. He call
ed to the clerks and they deposited
the lank and lean poet with the long
hair on the sidewalk For some DAYS

The Strawberry,

Boston Transcript
The rose, the apple and the straw
berry seem especially intended by
nature for the use and pleasure Of
mankind Not only does the beauty
and fragrance Of the one and the
grateful flavor Of the other point to
this, but the very wide distribution
of each over the face of the earth, as
well as their great susceptibility to
improvement and adaptation under
the fostering hand of man, seem to
Indicate unusual designs in this
dlrectiou- The strawberry is, per-
haps, the most universally acceptable
OF the many delicious fruits intended
for the human palate. Some variety
of it is found growing wild in nearly
every part OF Europe, many of the
finest sorts are indigenous to North
and South America, and even India
has native variety, though of slight
food value. Since the cultivation of
the strawberry began, moreover, it
has adapted itself readily to nearly
all climates and soils, no other fruit,
probably, being now as widely dis
aseminated.
Notwithstanding tnis, such is the
power of popular fallocies that the
ancient belief still holds strongly in
the minds Of that only rare skill
and the most unwearying labor suf-
flee to insure a crop of this heaven
bestowed fruit. 1t is false. The
strawberry is as easy of cultivation
as sweet corn-indeed, needs much
the same care, except in the particular
OF water. It ought to be Universally
grown by garden proprietors. What
is more delightful or appetizing than
the sight upon ones breakfast table
Of a generous dish piled to topping
mountain with the blushing and fra
grant cones, fresh picked from the
garden and inhaling the cool breath
of a June morning? A rare charm,
too, and one in which the supply
from the private garden holds an
immense superiority over that of the
market, lies in the mingling of the
various kinds, thereby bringing out
by contrast the subtle variations for
which the strawberry is famous.

The March Of Cholera,

The British Medical Journal saws
"When some months ago the Turk
ish authorities asserted the extinc-
ton or non-eNistence of cholera in
Syria, while Russian consular agents
maintained that it was still hovers
ingabout on the borders Of the Per
sion and Ottoman Empires, we ex
pressed our conviction that the sub.
sidence of the epidemic was merely
what might be expected at that sea-
on, and that it would reappear with
the return Of spring. And SO it is;
cholera is reported not as having
broken out q on the imperial ID omain
of Djedil and in the village Of Bellek,
near Bagdad, where six persons have
died out of thirteen attacked. Bag
dad was the headquarters of the cpl
demic last year, whence it was carried
by the river boat as far up the Tigris,
We believe that the FOREIGN Office re-
ceived information of its occurrence

probably conveyed by road from

phesy, we would say that twill not
