childhood, and in the hands of an experti is
capable OF the most elaborate of figuring
lnthe most elaborate of fractions. The
japanese, being more practical than meta
physical, without any tendency, in fact, to
ldeallsm, desire to make sure of results
with their fingers. and they carry this use
of their senses even into their religion.
They are not, however, without a certain
code Of morals, somewhat Confucian in
their twang, it is true, which have been ia
miliar to the people for centuries. Some
of them are worth quoting, for instances:
Treasures that are laid up in a garner
decay: treasures that are laid up in the
mind do not decay"
"a thousand pieces of gold are not as
precious as one day of study"
Though thou vert born in the poor
mans hoyel. if thou hast wisdom thou shalt
be like the lotus flower growing out of the
mud"
when a hasty word hath once been
spoken, a team of four horses may pursue,
but cannot bring it back"
Human ears are listening at the wall.
Speak no calumny, therefore, even in Sc
cret."
1.-THE flaw of an evil word cannot be
ground away"
He that loveth iniquity beckoneth to
misfortune. 1t is, as it were, the echo an
swcring to the voice"
And 80 on through two volumes. DO the
western nations furnish better samples of
wisdom than these?
The Japanese are making rapid strides
in education. They have an imperial uni.
versity in which are taught law, literature,
science, engineering, medicine and agricul-
ture, the professors being Japanese, Ger
mans, Americans and English. They have
normal schools for boys and girls, CONNER
cial schools, military and naval academies,
q musical academy, a fine art school, deaf
and dumb school, and many other ~institu-
lions the leading idea of which il to u.s.
simulate the national ways of thinking to
those OF European countries. Compare
the Japanese young men you may see in
the United States with those who began
their studies even SO recently as 1860, and
the two seem to belong to different worlds.
Their strides have been equally rapid in
other fields of development, and in some
respects they can discount their western
neighbors. The total mileage of railways.
the first of which was begun in 1870, is now
upward of LOO miles, and the profits have
steadily increased year by year. The fares
are extremely low. The principal cities
and towns are connected by telegraph, and
the principal islands with the mainland by
cables. The rate for IL 10 word message to
any part of the empire is about Is cents.
Upward of 500 Offices are open for public
business, besides Il large number of telc-
phone Offices. In both Yokohama and To-
kio, 10 miles apart, there are several hun
dred telephone subscribers, and commune
cation is as convenient Ha betWccn citixana
in the United States. The tariff is 10 cents
for Ave minutes, and, like our postage, tho
distance makes no difference in the price.

ing young man to me here today, 'every
time l see a brakeman run along the ton of
the cars of a freight train. 1t reminds me
of my boyish desire to go to work on the
railroad as a freight train hand and how it
was cured. My uncle was a freight con.
ductor of 10 or Is years. experience, and |,
being sick of farm life, often urged him to
take me on as a member of his crew.
las l was u relative, he fatty refused at
first, adding that l wouldn't like the busi.
ness anyway if l got a chance to try it,
l was SO importunate that after a talk
with the superintendent of the division he
finally promised me the first vacancy.
After some months of waiting it came, and
right proud was l when I started out on
my first trip from here to Susquehanna,
1t was in the summer, and the weather was
fine, and l laughed to myself tothink that
my uncle had thought I wouldn't like the
work. The trip was not completed before
l had found that he was quite right in his
estimate of my likes and dislikes.
I'VE had just passed Corning and were
rounding a sharp curve when we passed q
long train of coal 'jimmjes' going west,
l was standing on the top Of one of the box
cars, of which one train was composed.
when l saw a brakeman on the coal train
sway as the train lurched because of the
curve, lose his footing and fall headlonp
under the wheels of our train. OF course
both trains were stopped, and both crews
gathered about the body of the poor fellow.
l was Mortified to find that he had fallen in
u u way that his head had been crushed
and severed from his body.
He was, like myself, u green man max
ing his first trip, and when we got to Sus.

enough and would begreatly obliged to him
If he would get some other man. The farm
seemed like paradise to me after that ex-
periencc, md have never been sorry since
then that ! did not perscvere in my design

browns, as well as blue and black. Other
colors are often used, but are not so refined.
Some of the seasons plaids in quiet colors
could be made up this way, and they would
look we'll.
The rage for black and white grows apace.
and the most striking Of stripes and daring
of plaids are making their appearance on

In one place l saw an elegant carriage
and visiting costume. 1t was made OF
changeable rep silk-that is, the dress was,
the colors being maize and purple. The
skirt was simply gathered to the belt, and
the waist was French, with black lace
berthas over maize silk. The cloak was
quite long, of deep purple velvet, bordered
with sable fur and lined with maize satin.
There vas a double cape of velvet that
was both rippled and plated, and both
parts were bordered with fur, and the front
was ornamented with purple velvet ribbon
in rich loops and ends. A tiny bonnet of
purple and maize velvet and plumes finish.
ed a royal outfit.
A few years ago it would have been rank
heresy to have said that such colors and
combinations would be worn in 1893, but I
hardly see why we could not have had
them always. They are royalty beautiful.
The newest style in gloves is a queer
checkerboard pattern done on black kid
with white, but it does not seem possible
that any lady of taste or refinement could
bring herself to wear them. But there are
long black silk gloves for evening, and
there are long colored silk ones that can be
obtained long enough to reach the Shout
ders if necessary. These are in all colors
and match the colors on the seasons goods.
but the black or white or black and white
are to be called the very highest "ton."
Purple kid gloves are shown. So are yell
low ones in several very pronounced shades.
There are white, gray and tan outing
gloves, and for every day are very pretty
gauntlets. I noticed a very pretty pair of
white undressed gauntlets, the cuffs being
embroidered in green silk in clover pattern.
There are some new fancies in knock
about hats for young ladies, but none Of
them so cute and bright as the tarpaulin.
The brim is turned up and in and out three
or four times, and then black or white or
mixed black and white Grape roscttes are
set on and form a resting place for Il slant
ing quill feather with the top SHARED of.
They are pert little hats and very becom-

A small boy in. Maine who brought home
a mud turtle from n pond Il quarter of a
mile AWAY noticed that whenever set free
the turtle set OIL in Il Decline direction to-
ward the pond. The boy tried to confuse
the turtle in every way he could devise,
but the turtle was too smart for him and
always started of in the right direction ~
If he knew where he was going and was
bound to get there in the quickest time
possible. And o the boy has puzzled
the whole township by demanding t know
how that turtle knew in what direction his
ancestral pond lay.

who i'll their trip around the world have
paused at this half way house and become

one of the most beautiful and fertile couu-
tries the flowers have no scent, the birds
no song and the fruit and vegetables no

Perhaps that which most excites the adj

genius displayed by the japanese in arriv-

simplest means and the smallest possible
outlay of time, labor and material. The
tools with which they produce their finest
works are often the rudest that can be con-
ceived. Wherever in the field or workshop
nature supplies a force, the japanese is
sure to lay it under contribution, and the

Notwithstanding these characteristics, it
is a curious fact that in the management
OF great commercial and financial enter
prises, even here in Japan, the Chinese
merchant and banker is regarded as the
most trustworthy, and a defaulting China
man holding these high positions can
scarcely be recalled. In the first place, he
is a splendid accountants; secondly, he is
able to give large bonds. Even the Eng

A glance at Mr.. Bowman's spacious win
dows, opposite the Yale art school, would
convince any one of his superiority as a
photographer. All the exhibits are plain
photos-no enlsrgements-all large pic

ranks and walks of life. There is an elegant
pastille portrait, all hand work, of the little
master Coy, of one of our prominent fam
lilies Here are also an especially fine one

of which hangs in Yale's new gym; and
one of the well-known face of our Prof.
Brewer looking every inch the pioneer and
scholar that he is; one of our efficient fire
marshal, Mr.. Hubbard, and one of his es-
Unable wife. An especially fine, large
picture is one of child of President Gal
pin of the New Haven Clock company,
and with 1t an elegant csbinet picture of
the child. There is also one of Miss Noel
Ter, daughter of Mr.. G. A. Mosller; also
one of our famous dry goods merchant,
Mr.. William Nicely; also one of ex Select
man Henry Hillman; and our well,
known Judge Townsend is represented
