Japanese Types.

There are two totally distinct types
in Japan, which may almost be said to
be each others opposiies. The first,
which the japanese themselves call
the Chinese or Corean, is The more
common. Those belonging to it have
round fuces, fiat noses, full cheeks,
rather thick lips-very pretty ones
otten-and very white teeth. Those
belonging 10 the second. or true jap
ancsc type, have long and compare
lively pale face, noses nrchcd like tho
beai of n bird, thin lips, large eyes
with not very strongly marked eye
brows, teeth mostly good, always very
white, but often long and irregular.
This is the a%ristocratic type, which
when ut its best is really worthy of ad-
miration. To be called handsome a
japanese must belong 10 it, whilst
those of the Chinese east OF counte-
nance are never more than pretty.
Strange TO say, the moral character
of the sections OF the community diff
fers as much as does their appearance.
have noticed that, as a general rule,
those with Chinese fuces are ay,laugll-
ing, and restless, full of careless good
humor, whilst the others are silent, in
different, melancholy, sometimes even
dis1lal.-Husper'S Weekly.

many ailments for several years and to
see any other man approach it was
enough to cause cold chills to creep
down the back of those within range
who were familiar with its capabilities.
But when Ben King shutfled along from
the office through the billiard-room
and into the parlor he was greeted
with Il chorus of "Give us the Midway
Ben" "Play that thing that Sousa
plays" whats the matter with that
imitation of Paddy" allow about
that Buffalo Bill medley?" and the re.
suit was that Ben would play the whole
list Of the musical sketches that his
genius and rare good fellowship with
the piano had mado famous.
King was about 80 years old and vas
born In St. Joseph, Mich. where he
has Il wife and two children. For the
last three years he has -.oent about
half Of his time in this city, and the
trip south upon which he started Il few
days ago was in his opinion the begin
ming OF an era of prosperity as Il pro-
fessional entertainer. For a year he
has had numerous engagements, most
of them in small towns near Chicago,
and he had a dream of future success
on the platform that was in Il fair way
of being realized. He was just the
man, who, If properly managed and in-
troduced to a New York or London
audience, would have made n great sue
cess, and might easily have become
popular to a degree hat would have
made him wealthy.
Many verses that King wrote were
published in local papers, and one thing
from his pen has been copied all over
America. That is the clever little skit,
"If | Should Die Tonight" and King
used to make a great hit with it in his
entertainments.
Going over to his old home last Sum.
nler on q lake steamer with a party OF
Press Club friends and George Francis
Train, King amused the party and this
other passengers with several selec.
tions on the piano. One Of these was
after the Ball. played as some choo,
girl might have played it, with an oc'
casional blunder and the tiattiug of
note.
When King had finished, a stout.
red-faced woman in the cabin told hel
friends that her little girl could play
better than that man, and she didn't
see why folks made snch a fuss over
u man that couldn't play AFTER the
Ball" correctly. So the child was led
to the piano by her proud mother and
played the piece through mechanically
with no %grievous errors. The mother
looked about the crowd with a tri.
umphnnt air, which was short-livcd,
however, for Ben, just to show thai
his method of playing that particular
selection vas intended for Il joke, re
sumed his seat at the instrument and
completely d~umbfounded the woman
by his masterful control of the key
board.

She Knew n Real Villain.

Here is a story lately told by Hall
Game concerning Wilkie Collins: "The
most successful character in The
Woman in White was not n woman,
but u man-Fusco, the fat villain.
When the book was produced every
body was talking about the fat villain.
While the author was staying with his
mother a lady visitor anne. This
lady said to Collins: You seem to
have made n great success with your
villain in "Tho Lady in White" l
have read the book,I have studied this
villain, but he is not half a villain; you
don't know a real villain; you have
imagined this villain. l know a viz
lain, and the next time you want to
do 4 villain come TO me. l am very
close to one; | have got one constantly
in my cye-in fact, 1t is my own hus-
band!" Wilkie Collins often told this
story but withheld the name OF the
lady. 1t was the wife of Sir Edward
bulwer Lytton.-M. Y. Tribune.

"How would you like to take a trip to
Europe?" said Mr.. Childs, smiling pleas
antly.
"Wcll enough, Sir" was the respouae;
"but l cannot afford it."
"You can afford it," said Mr.. Childs,
taking him by the arm. IF l pay your
expenses and pay your salary to your
family while you are gone, can't you?'
The result was the man spent two
months in Europe, and returned COM

the matter was called TO his attention.

In Berlin one sees 30 many old
women walking the streets with small
baskets on their arms filled with but
tonhole bouquets which are offered to
the passers for sale. These women are
scrupulously neat in their attire and
their Dutch costumes are very attrac-
tive to u foreigner. Their bouquets
are stiff little affairs but exhalc II de-
lightful perfume which gains for then.

young girl takes the place of the old
woman. She wears a short colored
skirt, similar to that worn by the peas
ants of her native village; a clean white
apron; and her hssadgear, which is
astonishingly becoming, resembles
nothing SO much as an inverted wash
bowl. Her modest, quiet demeanor is
an ever astonishing fact TO the Amer
lean traveller. who is used to such de-
cidedly different behavior from the poor
unfortunates who sell newspapers il

that holds up the flower for your in
spection may be soiled, but nothing in
the demeanor of the girl testiies to
that fact. The American girl in her
vulgar attempts at n Irritation would
exhibit her total lack of modesty in a
manner particularly offensive to a per-
son of any refinement, and the purity
OF the blossoms she was trying to sell
would only accentuate the loss of it
in herself. The Spanish girl is seduc-
lively attractive without a suspicion Of
vulgarlty SO noticeable IN the Ameri-
can, and she is much more successful
than the American girl would be, ex.

under similar circumstances, the Amer
lean would awaken only disgust. The
German girl is innocently confding.

they pass by, cntreating with a timid-
ity that is as charming as it is success

Value of a Lynchab,e Negro

Colored men, when lynched, are
worth 50 each, according to the verdict
of Il Salina, Kan, jury. Henry Adams
sued the city for s., 900 damages for the
loss of his son, who was hanged by a
mob in April. He claimed that the
death of his son represented a pecuniary
loss of that amount. The jury decided
there had been no actual damage sus-

GEN. Rusk As A FISHERMAN.
How He Turned tho oke Once Upon .
TIME or the Minister.

A writer in the Chicago Record calls
to mind a story OF the late ex-Gov. Rusk
of Wisconsin. Most great men have
their fads and Gen. Rusk's was fishing.
No stress OF weather, no cares Of office,
no pride of high position, could keep
him long from his rod and line.
Before he became governor he formed
the acquaintance Of a methodist min
lister who was as great a fisherman as
himself. Their first meeting was some
what ludicrons. Jere Rusk was out on
a fishing expedition and all the fore.
noon he had noticed another man
whipping" the neighboring brook.
Along about noon he ran across the
fellow just as he was swallowing the
last mouthful OF what had evidently
been a sumptuouo lunch. In his bluff,
hearty way the general broke out:
"Look a-here, mister, why didn't you
save part of that lunch for me?n
stranger" the other fisherman be-
gan, "l'm a methodist preacher, and
mot another word, mister" broke in
Uncle Jere. Just give us your hand.
If you are anything like the methodist
ministers up our way you don't get
sight of a square meal often enough to
spare any of 1t when you do"
Soon after this Rusk was elected
governor and the methodist preacher
moved down to Spring Green. Often in
the years that followed the tall, bent
form of the old governor was seer with
Tim vrnonhor in na,.,l ~ tl,n:. -z..
sport.
One day they had become separated
for several hours and the governor had
succeeded in getting u couple Of small
trout, while the preacher had not even
had u bite. Just as he WAS giving up
in disgust he found u basket behind a
bunch of grass, and in it were six fine
fish. Casting u hurried look around
him he slipped them all on his stringer,
end, dropping a dollar in the basket, he
hurried off TO find the general.
But Uncle Jere, from behind q clump
of willows, had seen it all, and when
they met on their way home there was
a ghost of n smile under his whiskers
as the preacher Dragged about his fish.
That night there was q reception at
the old town hall in the governors
honor and the preacher introduced
him.
With a majestic wave of the hand he
began, "In little things, like the lead.
Ing of an army in battle or the govern
ing of a state, Uncle Jere is all right,
but when it comes to great things of
life, like fishing, he can't hold q candle
to a methodist minister"
There was q oar of laughter and APP
plnuse, for a good many Of the people
had seen the governors two or three
and the preachers nice string.
Slowly the tall, bent form of the old

It seems a little strange that some
quick-witted florist has not hit upon
the plan of having n number of pretty
girls engaged in selling flowers at
places of amusement or in the street
says the Chicago Herald. Most of our
florists evidently belong to the i'm
pr~essionists, school of the salt and
pepper order. A florists window
ought to be the very idea of n harmony
OF perfectly blended masses of bright
and subdued coloring. We fear that
our young lady friends criticism was
in most cases painfully correct. 1t is,
however, but just to say that many of
our florists are thorough masters of
their nrt in arranging their wares,
though in the rush OF spring business
they may have neglected their show
windows.
