who works in tea factory will often

Out in the country the wages are
even lower, and there are parts Of

more than ten cents in silver day, or
about nickel of our money. Women

which destroy thousand houses are
not uncommon. There are now steam
fire engines in the large cities and all
of the smaller places have fife depart
ments and hand engines.
TheJapaneseg go wild whenever there
isa fire in the neighborhood. They turn
out en- masse, each carrying paper
lantern, upon which is painted the
name of his house or his business
place, and rush toward it. They have
lanterns hung up in their houses,
ready to run out with them to fires,
and it is matter of etiquette if you
have o friend in the neighborhood of
the confagration to call and leave
YOUR card and tell him that you came
to help him, thinking the house which
was burning was his, and to leave your
card, with congratulations that he
escaped.
The fremen themselves carry
lanterns, and they yell as they run.
Each fire company has leader, who
carries lantern fastened to the top
of long pole and ornamented with
stresmers of paper. He climbs with
this to the roof of the building which
is on fire and directs the men, and he
is expected to stay at his post until
these streamers catch fire. The fire.
men of Yokohama have blue hats, like
butter bowls, and on their backs are
the characters which mean Yokohama

a handkerchief on their heads, and are
more often barefooted than otherwise.
Until lately there was no such thing
as a fire insurance company in Japan.
Now there are several, and they are
doing we'll. There are no foreign
companies, and the insurance com
panies of other countries confine their
risks here to life.

WHAT A MOTHER DID FOR DRINK.

The Rev. W Fl. Stone. NJ. A.. vicar OF st.

ABOUT three days longer. when it would be

mother was most persistent in her request.
until at last the doctor reluctantly gave way,

patient, sent them home. stating he would

There are no such things as stone
boats and lumber wagons in Japan,
and human labor takes the place. of
steam and horses. There are no lum-
Der mills in the country, and logs are
sawed into boards by hand. A lum-
Der yard consists of lot of boards
tied up into bundles containing about
five or six boards six inches wide and
half an inch thick, and usually about
twelve feet IN length, and it is of such
lumber that the most of the Japanese
houses are made. The heaviest of the
rafters of the temples are sawed out
by hand, and it is by men that they
are carried up and put into place.
The roof of a japanese house Is put
on before the walls are fitted in, and
there is big scaffolding made Of the
height of the proposed structure and
running all around it before the work
of putting up the house begins. The
scaffolding is made of bamboo poles
tied together with ropes of straw, and
the men who put it up have moth,
ing to do with erecting the building
itself.
Almost all of the Japanese houses
are of wood. They are built close to-
gether in the towns and cities, and q
fire sometimes sweeps them away by
thousands. It is said that Toxic burns

do not need to pay if the clothes do
not fit you. You can get O good
business suit of English goods, made
to order, for about ten American
dollars. Patent leather shoes, made
to order, cost 50. so, and fur-lined
overcoat, with beaver collar and cuffs,
can be bought for about $50 in gold.
You could not buy the cloth, to say
nothing of the fur Innings, for that
amount in America. Ladies dresses
are equally cheap, and you get
wonderfully embroidered gowns Of
silk crepe for less than the ordinary
street dress costs you in the United
States.
This reduction in silver makes q
wonderful profit for our missionaries
and diplomats. A missionary who is
gettinga thousand dollars year has
now two thousand dollars to spend.
The American Minister to Japan, who
receives, if my memory serves me,
$12, 900 annually, gets at least $24, 600
worth of value out of it, and the sala-
ries of all our consuls are practically
doubled by the change: An Ameri-
can family living on fixed income at
home could now come to Japan and
have twice the comforts for half the
money, and I am surprised at the
wonderful cheapness of all sorts Of eat

of an eight room house. I have q
friend who lives as well here as many
q millionaire does in the United States
and he does lot expend more than
this amount. He pays his cook s. a
month. His butler gets $3.50 and his
gardener and second girl get about
the same. These servants all board
themselves and the cook does the
marketing. His rent costs him less
than 500 month, though he lives in
one of the best ports of Japan, and he
could have coachman at S5 more.
He has no trouble about getting good
servants, and he tells me they watch
after his interests and see that he is
not cheated by any one else but them.
selves. I predict that the time will
come when many American families
with fixed but comparatively limited
incomes will come to Japan instead of
going to Europe as they are now do
ing.
As to the living of the Japanese,
they pay still less, and these forty
millions of people could exist well on
what America wastes. Only a few Of
the middle classes have more than
one servant, and among the poorer
classes the wife does the cooking and
the entire work Of the household.
Some families have woman to cook
and do general housework, and such
women are paid from 81 to 81 month
and are lodged and fed. They gener-
ally receive a present of dress from
their mistress at New Years and in
midsummer, each costing from 81. SO
to 50, and they expect to get a cent

The richer people have more servants,
and well-to.do family will generally
have q man in addition to the women.
They pay their men twice as much as
the women. Nurses are very cheap in
Japan, and the common people keep
the smaller children and the old men
of the family busy in taking care OF
the babies. A child of six often has
her baby brother tied to her back, and
children from nine to sixteen 60 about
with babies so fastened upon them,
taking care of them. Such girls, when

les, get their board and clothing and

APAN is doing all she can to
keep silver in the cir, says
C Frank G. Carpenter in letter
from Toxic to the New York
Press. She has to pay for the goods
she imports from America in gold, and
the silver question is far more i'm
portapt one here than it has ever been
in the United States. The country is
now on silver basis, and there is
sure to be a general rise in the prices
of everything.
At the present writing the exchange
is going up every day, and a good
dollar in Toxic looks as big as the
cover of a japanese umbrella. Such
foreigners as are here who get their
incomes from America are rich through
the fall of silver, and they now get
two dollars for every one that is sent
out to them from home. I made out

Figures on Longevity in Japan

One of the noteworthy facts of the
last census of Japan is the large num-
Der of persons who have attained the
age of 100 years and upward. The
total population of the empire is 49,
10000, and out of that number there
was total of 1T persons who had
passed the century milestone, viz. {:
Eighty-one who we're 100 years of age,
forty-six of lO1. twenty-six of lO2,
seven of 1O3, six of 104, one of 1O5,
seven of 106 and three of 107. The
combined ages of this wonderful "cen-
tury community" of lit persons yield
a grand total of 16,937 years. Chi

love-dream was all over, and soon his life

would be over also.
Then he thought OF his home, Of his
beloved mother. She was dead now!
She died before he could see her again,
or listen to the words of forgiveness
from her lips! Yet she had loved him
her last thoughts had been of him, who
had left her for one so utterly unworthy!
Oh, cruel fate!
All the places he had known in his
youth appeared again before the eyes Of
his imagination, and with them the faces
of all the dear friends at home.
He laAe them ali farewell His life
had reached its goal
But among all those faces there rose
one sweeter than all the others 1t
looked upon him with soft, blue, plying
eyes, so 1uu OF love, Oh, so full of love.
That one face filled his whole soul. The
others all disappeared. Was it the face
of an angel?
He was thinking of his cousin, OF
Hattie Beckford! Her image appeared
to him as the ideal of sweet, loving,
heavenly womanhood! Oh, If he had
possessed the love of such q one, how
different all would have come.
But he had been led astraY by false
glitter and passion. Here was the end!
A long, long time Ralph lay in the
deep shades of the forest, high up in
the mountains.
At last he rose to return to the valley.
He had made his final reckoning and
struck the balance. Now all that lay
behind him was gone forever. Not with
O thought would he return to it.
There were but two more things in
the world for him to do and to suffer.
Revenge, then death.
He did not 60 to his hotel until night,
for he did not want to see his wife again.
He called on Dr.. Braunfeld during the
day, and they talked on Indifferent mat
tiers; as II no terrible ordeal was to be
gone through in the morning. That
night he slept sounder than he had done
for long time.
