The Noise of the street-Cars.

There Is but one complaint that any
reasonable person can prefer against the
etreet-cars of Richmond. and that is Of the
noise they make.
We have an excellent service of clean,
well-ordered, far-reaching, and quick
moving cars. No city of our population
excels Richmond in these resp ects, and we
fecting these desirable results outside
capitalists have done more for US than
Richmond capitalists.
The introduction, OF the first electrician
here was the beginning of new era of en-
terprise. From that day suburban pro-
perty began to grow in value, and now all
the distant hills of the city are in easy
communication with our business centres.
The only thing that troubles as is the
noise made by the cars. This is at times a
most saddenine groan, at other times a
maddening howl, and at others a frolic-
some buzz, such as is made by circular
saw when il energies from its course
through big oak log.
These varied acknowledgement with
fierce bell-ringing-are but little noticed
In the winter. but when the warm weather
comes-when the noises float into dwell
lighthouses through open doors and win
dows--then many patient people grow
profane.
The street-car companies should do one
pt two things-remedy the nuisance, OF
prove to the people that it is remediless-
10 this end we offer the companies
our help. Come. let us have the matter
ended before we are in the midst OF a no,
epell.
The people would bear the annoyance
with ten times more patience than they
now exercise had they the assurance that
Il was an unavoidable accompaniment OF
Che electric system.

The Washington Post Yesterday had an
editorial condemning the policy of the
United States and Brazil Mail Steamship
Company as announcein in its purpose to
discriminate against Newport News In the
coffee trade.
Evidently the company has made mis-
take in talking too much before it got its
hands upon the government subsidy.

CURIOUS JAPANESE CUSTOMS
Some Of Their Quaint and Queer Ways At
Marriages.

sons OF Their Quaint and Queer Ways At
Marriages.
1.-THE Japanese are the ouaintest peo-
pie on EARTH" said M. Hutton, of San
Francisco. "They are as versatile as
the French and initiative as the ne
groes. Since the introduction into
Japan of American ideas and thrift
they have been striving hard to adopt
our way of living and acting in all par
ticulsrs, but they are SO thoroughly
grounded ia their old customs and man
nerisms-which you know is almost q
complete reversal of everything eau
casian-that, with all their sprightii.
ness and Am bition, several generations
yet will perhaps pass away before
the revolution now in progress in tho
country will be complete.
ut sounds ridiculous to you that any
sane human being should give express
sion to poignant grief by loud and roll
licking laughter. But that's Just what
the japanese do. have seen a whole
room full of mourn ers in Yokohama
and other cities of the empire in the &C.
stasy of JOY instead of commissions of
grief, as with us. Their peals of laugh
ter were little hysterical, but all tho
same they laughed. And when a child
is born to a Japanese household the i'm
portant event is heraldcd to the COM
munity by the loud cries and walls of
the father and by bountiful supply Of
Grape on the front door. However, the
more advanced few among them arc
describing these strange ancient Gus
toms, and are adopting our ways, even
in this particular"

No Use.

In Bermuda, says Mrs Rollins, your
driver and your washerwoman bring
you every day punches of flowers that
in New York would cost Eve or six
dollars; but not even FIVE or six
dollars would induce them to hurry
their horses or change the day for
bringing back the wash.
IN the shops dealers almost resent
your demands upon their stock, and
the story is vouched for of one shop
keeper who explained his lack Of some
thing inquired for, by the extraordinary
statement:
People kept coming and coming for
it, and bought US all out just as fast as
we got it in; so we stopped keeping it"

HYPNOTIC POWER.

Tow the Snake and the Tiger Benumb
Their Victims Senses.
The power attributed to the snake
and feline families of charming" their
victims seems to me past dispute, saysa
writer in the Minneapolis Tribune. It
is merely sort Of hypnotism. Living
stone tells us that when at one time
seized by . tiger he felt neither terror
nor pain; all his senses seemed to bo
bonumbed. Bates in his Naturalist On
the Amazon" states that one day in the
woods small pet dog few at q large
rattlesnaks. The snake fixed his eyes
on tho dog, erected his tail, and shook
his rattle; it seemed in no haste to seize
the dog, but as if waiting to put the
dog into more suitable condition for
being seized. As to the dog, it neither
continued the attack nor retrcated,
could not or would not move when
called, and was with difficulty dragged
away by his master.

A lady tells me that she s'does not be-

Wire Pnlo VS. and Cu.h,op.

Braided wire pillows, mattresses.
etc, of American make, are finding
great favor in England. They are per
3ectly resilient, accommodating them
selves to every movement. and are. of
course, always cool. They promise to
supersede the ordinary stuffed pillows
and cushions, which, with the lapse of
time, became loaded with dust and
germs, and saturated with perspiration.
and demand what they seldom get,
thorough disinfection and cleansing. It
is suggested that if tho officials Of
churches and managers of theaters and
other public places would dispense en-
tirely with the oldfashioned stuffed
cushions, which collect a dangerous
quantity of dust and microbes, they
would do public service, and contrib
Ute to the general comfort as well as to
the general health. 1t is also pointed
out that, fitted viii wire cushions and
wire padding, railway and carriage
seats would be always shapeiy and
praccca4ly inoestructible
