newspapers IN Japan.

There are 100 newspapers md
magazines published in Tokyo, tho
most important, from tho standpoint
of circulation, being the Asabi Shin
bun, or Morning News, Asabi meanin;
morning and Shimbun meaning new;
This paper enjoysa circulation of 100.
600 copies daily, while at Osaka a paper
of the same name prints over 13O, 900
papers every morning.
The Daily News of Tokyo has a cir
culation of 80. 900 copies, but in spite
of this small circulation it probably
has fully as much weight with the in
telligent reading community as havo
those papers which circulate more
largely. The circulation of the Morn
ng News (Asabi Shinbum) is greatly
due to the fact that it prints from day
to day continued serial stories of
fiction, and on this account is largely
bought by the women in Tokyo ana
vicinity. The Daily News does not
adopt this feature which, L think, il
American-but on tne contrary devotcs
its space to all the news happenings of
the day.
The reporters of the Daily News
"cover" all the murders, suicides
fires, court trials, receptions and
social, theatrical and sporting events
in a similar manner to the great
American newspapers. 1t is also more
fearless in it's editorial utterances re
garding politics, and while Japan is ar
Empire, it must be remembered tina
the people elect members to the Hous'
Of Representatives.
in addition to the Morning New
and the Daily News, there are thirty
three other daily papers i'll Tokyo,
largo majority Of which are morning
papers. Japan has not as yet adopte'
to any extent the American custom
printing evening papers, either soparat
or in connection with the mornin
edition.

A voracious BIackbird.

A remarkable occurrence, the killing
end dcyom-!nS of IL sparrow by " black
bird, was witnessed the other morning
by large crowd of business men and
street pedestrians. The biackbird was
first noticed standing on Il limb of
tree near its nest. A few feet below,
on another limb, was perched the
sparrow, which every moment or 30
would fly toward the blackbird's nest,
as if to invade it.
The blackbird, with futtering Of
it's wings and few shrill notes, would
rush to the defense of its nest, when
the sparrow would retreat. The spar
row, however, was not to be scared
away, and, with the impudence charac-
teristic of it's kind, it was no sooner
! settled down safely on tho limb imam
it was again threatening an attack on
the blackbird's nest.
This continued for probably ten min
utes, when the blackbird, greatly Sx'
cited and unable to longer control its
anger, flew down toward the sparrow
as the latter ascended, catching the
back of its neck in its bill and bearing
it to tho pavement. Reaching the
pavement, the blackbird released it
hold and dealt the sparrow blow OIL
the side of the head, turning it owe
on it's back 1t then placed its foot OF
the sparrow's breast and tore it t.
pieces, devouring the flesh with grea
avidity and evident relish. .-Philadel

South Carolina to enter markets outside

monopo!ies enjoyed by France and Bel

Union, having all tho powers Of an inde

surrendered to the Federal government,
has the iaherent right, as State, to en-
gage in trade, domestic or foreign, but

s'rues the South Carolina liquor act as a
measure for the suppression Of the liquor

viduals, and to substitute therefor its
complete control by the State through
local public dispensers; and holds that
only by strained construction could any

No State in the Union has better
roads than can be found in New Jer-
sey's more populous counties, remarks
Frank Leslie's. Essex County, which
includes Newark, the Oranges and
other growing towns, has thirty-eight
miles of roads laid with twelve-inch
Telford pavement, and varying in
width from eighty to one hundred feet.
These roads, which cost 81, 700, 600 for
construction and right of way, have
added greatly to the value of property
in all the region reached by them, and
which is filling up with handsome
homes, many of them palatial in char
acter. Union County, adjoining Els,
sex. has also made great progress in
improved road-making, and is reaping
the fruits of her enterprise in enhanced
realty valuations. The experience OF
these and other New Jersey counties
constitutes an unanswerable argument
in favor of liberal expenditures and
coherent system in road-msking.

THE LABOR CONGRESS.
Herbert Burrows Tells Pitiful Story
and Draws Tears.


CHICAGO, ILL. AT the session of the
Labor Congress, Kate Field read the first
paper before the Congress. 1t was writ
ten by Lady Emilia Dyke, of London,
telling of the frightful condition of wo.
men in the labor market ef the United
Kingdom.
Herbert Burrows, representative O.
the English Social Democratic Fedora
ton, led the discussion which followed.
He told of women who worked 10 hours
day for $l.25 a week in the rail and
chain forges of Cardleigh Heath, and
there were many damp eyes in the hal
when he said that they hang the cradles
containing their little babies over thu
forgcs to prevent the little ones from
freezing or starving at home for want Of
care. He demanded equal pay for wo
men who do the same work as men, ant
declared the woman question must b.
settled in labor circles before the labo
question Can be satisfactorily settled. Mr.
Burrows was vigorously applauded.

Writer'S and Thsir work.

| Ia
When people look st the numerous
volumes written by SSott, Dickens and
Thackeray it strikes them that these
great writer's did an enormous amount
of work. assSss... -.
The mechanical labor OF producing
SO many books isin itself something re-
markable, but busy newspaper man
writes more in a yearfhan a successful
novelist does in twenty years. An
active reporter grinds out, at the low
est estimate, 1900 words day, AZ, 900
in a month, 5O4, 900 in a year, equiv.
alent in quantity to the reading matter
OF nearly six observation-disclosures nov.

TSTs 5FS% tTs1a.y e faEtE sGy yssss j.:
100, 900 words, and iii forty years 20.
16o, 900 words, OF an amount of matter
equivalent to 224 novels of 800 pages
each, the work of any fifty Industrious
novelists.
1t is very evident fl these figures
that newspaper writing represents
hard work But let us go little fur
ther with these statistics. In order to
write twenty words mans fingers
travel over the space of foot with
two or three distinct movements in tho
formation of each letter. At this ratio
it will be secn that, rs there are $3.50
feet in Il mile, newspaper man in
forty years makes his pencil travel
about 1876 miles with vertical and u
lateral motion.
This work is aside from the report
or's time and labor spent i'll getting his
facts, but even this superficial calculn-
tion should make it plain that the me-
chanical or physical labor of writing
is much greater than the general pub
lie supposes. We have had in our
mind writer who gets up only col
lumn day, but there are men who
| average two or three columns daily.
To figure out the produce and tho
labor of such toilers would stagger be
lief and would cause many young
men to give up their journalistic rs
pirations. Atlanta Constitution.

The English, who arc trying

The English, who are trying to
anglioize Egypt, are very much an
noyed by a recent decree of the young
Khedive to the effect that the Arabic
language must be used in oil branches
of the curriculum of the Government
schools. The study of this language
has always been roquired of every
pupil, and they attain considerable
proficiency in it, in order to pass the
necessary examinations, but under the
present order it will become practi-
cally the vernacular. The English
consider this long step backward,
and say that all the text books on the
m6dern- ad- seiagGssu er9. in. the
languages of Europe, and that oil at
tempts to teach them in the Arabic
have resulted badly. This, perhaps,
was due to the fact that the teachers
were not so familiar with the language
as they might have been. At al
events, no one can blame the Khedivt
for using all the means in his power t.
keep alive the National institution
and feelings of his people. Egypt j
