THE IMPORTATION Of Japanese from

The importation of japanese from
Hawaii is rousing some anxiety.
Their numbers are increasing and it
is evident that many of them are
being brought in in violation of the
immigration laws. The Japanese
form a far more desirable population
than the Chinese and than most of
the Hungarian, Russian and like inn
migration that is coming into the
Atlantic ports from Europe. But
this country is not needing laborers
from outside, and the workingmen of
the Pacific coast are suspicious They
have fought and won one fight to
keep out laborers with whom they
could not compete, and they do not
want another.

A MULE THAT REMEMBERED.
She Tried to Punish the Boy Who Had

She Tried to Punish the Boy Who Had
Fired Her stable.
II asst summer some of our boy mule
drivers asked me to let them off the
next day so they could go to game of
base ball" said Lackawanna Valley
coal operator, "and ! told them they
could not go. They quit work, however.
When the fire boss went down the shaft
the next morning he found one of the
mules braying near the foot OF the shaft.
She was badly burned In the left hip
and shoulder, AMI the fire boss found
the mule barn, fifty yards from the foot
OF the shaft, had been set on fire. Fan
ny had yanked her halter In Two, kicked
the door down and ran to the shaft for
air.
That afternoon went down the shaft
to see how Fanny was getting along.
While 1 was there the thirteen base ball
loving youngsters got the engineer to
let them down the shaft. They wanted
to see me about going to work In their
old places the next day. Fanny was
standing without any halter on, and
when the boys spread out in row to
talk to me the mule gave aglance along
the faces, uttered a bray OF anger and
made vicious lunge at the last boy but
two from the right end OF the row. The
lads yelled and scattered, but the mule
kept after the one she had picked out,
paying no attention to the others. She
chased him through the gangway to the
foot of the shaft in spite OF me. and be-
fore could get to her she had bitten
the boys shoulders till the blood came
through his clothing. Fanny had un-
doubtedly seen the boy set fire to the
barn and she meant to get'even. That

the least bit fierce, and her evidence Of

Of the first ANTAGONISTS, relates having
seen in Paris q little German girl, 4
years and hmoHths old, who had d
beard, and whose whole body was
covered With soft, downy hair. In
his @Traite de Autobiography" he
mentions 2 young lady at the court
Of the Austrian Archduchess who in
her earliest childhood began to grow
beard and mustache. of enormous
proportions. Charles XII. had in his
army female soldier who was taken
prisoner after the battle of Puttawa,
transported to Russia, and shown to
the Car. According to the historians
of that. period this woman's beard
was more, than yard long. The
Greeks represented their. Venus Of
Cyprus With thick beard. The
Spanish woman who is the subject Of
the sketch has never been seen in
museums. She lives quietly at home
nursing her beard and raising an in
teresting family OF bearded girls.

A Philanthroplc Merchant.


Any one who has happened to be
in the neighhnrhood Of a factory or
mercantile establ lshment where large
numbers Of gifik are employed, about
the time the employees are leaving
work for the day, could hardly have
failed to remark the large proportion
OF narrow chests and round shoulders,
often to the verge OF deformity, that
are exhibited That steps are seldom
taken by employers to mitigate in
any way the evil effects of the close
confinement and constrained position
on the health and anatomy of grow
ing girls brings out in all the brighter
contrast the commendable example
Of Boston merchant, who has opened
agymnasium for his female employees,
where they receive, free OF cost, pro
fessional Instructions In the art of
physical exercises.
The classes are free to all who
choose to avail themselves OF the
privilege, and daily instruction is
given between the hours of five and
six in the afternoon. Already 600
girls have joined the class, and many
more. are awaiting the verdict of their
sisters on the new departure. Those
who have tried the exercise are en-
thusiastic as to its benefits, and say
that the tired feeling caused by close
confinement in the store soon gives
place to one Of elasticity and fresh
ness.
This Boston philanthropist looks for
ward to the time when gymnasium
will be attached to every large bust
ness establishment where women are
employed, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that his dream will soon be
realized.

Foste, Mother to a woodchuck.

1t was the smallest woodchuck
had ever seen, not much larger than
large rat. Its head and shoulders
were so large in proportion to the
body as to give 1t comical look. 1t
could not walk about yet, and had
never before been above ground.
Every moment or two 1t would whistle
cheerily, as the old one does when
safe in its den and the farm dog is
fiercely baying outside. We took the
youngster home, and my little boy
was delighted over the prospect CT a
tame woodchuck.
We captured them all, and the
young family was again united. How
these poor half-famished creatures
did lay hold OF the spoon when they
got taste OF the milk One could
not help laughing. Their little shin
ing black paws were so handy and so
smooth; they seemed as IL incased in
kid gloves. They throve we'll upon
milk, and then upon milk and clover.
But after the novelty Of the thing
had worn off, the boy found he had
encountered himself with serious
duties in assuming the position Of
foster-mother to this large family;
so he gave them all away but one,
the first one captured, which had
Outstripped all the others in growth.
This soon became a very amusing
pet, but 1t always protested when
handled, and always objected to con.
finement
/ should mention that the cat had
a kitten about the age OF the chuck,
and as she had more milk than the
kitten could dispose of, the chuck,
when we first got him, was often
placed in the nest with the kitten,
and was regarded by the cat as ten
nurse freely. Thus a friendship
sprang up between the kitten and
the woodchuck which lasted as long
as the latter lived. They would play
together precisely like two kittens;
.clinch and tumble about and roll
upon the grass in a very amusing
way. Finally the woodchuck took
up his abode under the floor OF the
kitchen and gradually relapsed into a
half-wild state. He would permit
no familiarlties from any one save
the kitten, but each day they would
have a turn or two at their old games
OF rough-and-tumble. The chuck
was now over half-grown, and pro-
cured his own living. One day the
dog, who had all along looked upon
him with a jealous eye, encountered
him too far from cover, and his
career ended then and there. Cen

AN English judge rules that If a
person applies the term liar where he
deems it fitting, slight blow in re.
taliation is justitiable. This decision
is too ambiguous to serve as a safe
guide to those who would scorn to in
dulge in any retaliation not wholly
legal. What might be a slight blow
to pugilist could knock another and
a better man into his long home.
And supposing the person called a

THE reports of the mercantile
agencies put the failures for 1892 at
10, 344, with liabilities at $ll4, 000,-
600. This is less than in any year
since 1886 when 1884 failures showed
total of liabilities Of $114, 644, 119.
To go under this figure we have to
go back to 1882, when there were g.
1888 failures, with liabilities of S10l,-
547, 564. The figures for 1892 give a
decrease of $75, 900, 900 from 1890.

STATISTICS furnished by France
would seem to prove that the in
crease in lunacy in that country,
which is directly due to alcoholic
stimulants, is indirectly due to the
work, worry and feyerish business
push Of the last quarter of the nine
teenth century. This life at high
pressure feels the demand for some
thing upon which an overdrained
vitality may feed. The first thing,
of course, is stimulant more or less
injurious, the use of which increases
until the victim becomes insane.
