LIFE IN JAPAN.
Description of Roadside Tea House
and its DIscomforts.

Description of a Roadside Tea House
and its DIscomforts.
AT Yoshino I found little suite Of
rooms built in the garden away from the
rest of the house. and at once engaged
them, in happy anticipation OF quiet
nights. These isolated rooms have some
disadvantages. such as having TO get TO
the bath and back on wet nights, but
very short acquaintance with life In tea
house makes the traveller disregard such
trifling inconyeniences for the certainty
of peaceful sleep. The Japanese wander
ers usually finish their days journey
about in the afternoon, and, after the
preliminary cup of tea, discard their trav-
el-stained clothes for the clean kimono
which every well-regulated tea-house
supplies to its ghosts, then bathe in water
as near to boiling point as possible, eat
their dinner, sit talking and smoking till
midnight, snore till o'clock in the morn
ing, and then begins the clatter OF taking
down shutters and the elaborate business
of tooth-cleaning and tongue-scraplng,
with an accompaniment of complex
noises suggesting sea-sickness IN It's
worst stages, so il is not till they have de-
parted at or o'clock that light sleeper
gets much chance. In the daytime the
tea-house is deserted, except by the pro-
prietor. who sits in the front room and
does his accounts, and by the little
SerVant-glrlS, who. with their heaQS tl6d
up in towels, kimona tucked into their
obi, and sleeves fastened back, showing
good deal of round brown leg and arm,
busily sweep and dust the rooms in prep
aration for the new set of visitors who
will arrive in the evening. The thin
sliding partitions would be little bar to
sound, even if they reach to the top of
the room, and above them there is gener-
ally a foot or so of open woodwork,
which allows free ventilation and con-
versation between the different apart
ments. Privacy, as we understand it, is
no part of the scheme of Japanese tea
house. Real fresh air from outside is
very difficult to get at night. During the
hot weather [ was always careful to OK
anime the fastenings of the wooden shut
ters with which, after dark. every house
is inclosed like a box, so that L could
surreptitiously open crack opposite my
room, although by so doing l was DISC
beying the police regulations. These
shutters do not keep out the noise of the
watchman, who all night long wanders
round and knocks two blocks of wood
together, just to let burglars know that
he is about.-Alfred Parsons in Harper S
Magazine.

trine, if its evolution lgoes on, must be
State interference in everything from the
political TO family relations of men. In
deed, as Mr.. Godkind explains it in
treating in the Forum of the bills of
Socialism," it is to be extension of Gov
ernment interference to every enterprise
affected with public use. It is not diff
ficult to apply this doctrine of public
use under Populist creeds to all business
and all personal concern.
Equal rights to all sound doctrine in
itself, will be construed by Populist
logic, if it develops strength, to mean q
leveling that viii raise one class of hu-
man beings without effort on their part,
at the expense Of another; that will fetter
ability without applying a spur to the
dull. Production in the ultimate of
Populist logic will no longer have detor-
mining influence in prices; wages no
longer be affected by capacity. Wealth
as represented by money will be crea ted
by the Government, regardless of natu-
raj sources of supply. and this is to be
drawn upon unlimitedly for the prosecu-
tion of all needed public enterprises and
without other security for repayment
than the good faith of communities to-
wards paternal Government. Indeed.
Populist orators have not been wanting
to affirm that the augmented values to
follow this free use of created wealth will
SO far recompense the Government that
it can afford to forgive communities their
debts.
We cannot avoid the conclusion that a
following out of the logic of Populist
preaching brings US to-namely, that like
the Altruists, these new party teachers
look forward, perhaps unconsciously, to
that time when under system that is to
displace the present all are to have all
they want of things that are plenty, and
things that are scarce are to be divided in
proportion as they are wanted, regardless
of all present and long-existing natural
laws of distribution.

JACKSONVILLE does not propose to drop
wholly out of sight and public concern.
Unable to attract new attention in any
other way, it is now bidding for fight
between Corbett and Jackson. Strange.
is it not, how the wheel of time brings
about changes of sentiment? Twenty
five years ago, if white man had offered
to engage in Florida in prize fight with
a ''nigger," there would have been gen.
eral uprising of indignant Southerners to
hang the white fellow in vindication of
the rank of the white race, and to fog the
'nigger" for presuming to accept. Now.
after so brief time, we actually have
the Southern gentlemen offering 5000
to the white and the black to come over
and pummel one another for the purse.

THE Salvadorean refugees on board the
United States steamer Bennington at La
Libertad stand on American soil. They
are if anything political offenders; we
recognize no political crime in a refugee.
Therefore the men are free to go when
they please, and Commander Thomas
will not restrain them. as the San Saliva
dor revolutionists, now in charge of the
Government, demand. If Thomas at
tempts to retain the refugees pending
application for their extradition. he will
fly in the face of the established policy of
the American nation, fortified by long
line of precedents.

THE assault by Congressman Geary
upon the motives of the late Governor
Leland Stanford in founding the Uni

notice. It is at once so untrue. cruel and
malignant that it excites far more of con-
tempt for its author than of indignation
because of the slander.

She placed her head too close, however,

Pictorial History
Or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xII3 inches
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford $40 and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War; After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t IS made into 20 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies oi
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

DON'T PART YOUR NAME.
You May Become United States Sena.
tor if You Do.

Parable from the Atchison Globe:
j. X. Burton studied elocution, and
became a journeyman air saver about
the time it came into fashion for peo-
pie TO part their names in the middle.
Burton was living in Indiana then,
and, letting his hair grow long, he
decided to give an evolutionary enter
tainment in a small town in his
neighborhood. He advertised HIM
self as 81. Ralph Burton, the boy
elocutionist," and lost $11.0O. He
always attributed his failure to the
mistake he made in parting his name.
1t stuck to him. He moved to the
southern portion Of his native state,
but he was soon known as j. Ralph.
When he came to Kansas, he tried to
conceal this mistake of his life, but
his efforts were useless, and his new
made acquaintance in this State soon
had it j. Rats Burton. In all his
speeches he warns young people
against this mistake.

my book is q uery unusual publica-
tion--so much so that the printers
who set it up here were struck by its
new line of thought and they were the
first to speak for copies of it after
binding. They think | llscll many
thousand, without doubt, and | think
so too. 1t starts out that way. am
not putting it out for dollars. That
cuts no figure. II is not scheme for
money. 1t is on a multitude of sub
jects and clinches things as it goes,
but it will make me very unpopular
personage, but Icare nothing for that
as have no ak to grind politically,
religiously or any other way,although
some do not believe this. But lguess
they will see that if had an eye on
any Office | would not Think Of putting
out such a book, as it is a red flag
thrown to the breezes and will be on
sale all over America and Europe.
