Japanese Competition in Manufactures.

However much of truth there may be in
that report from san Francisco, to the
effect that Japanese manufacturers are
planning on Gigantic scale to food this
country with goods which will be sold
cheaper than they can possibly be made
In our factories, it is evident that such n
condition OF affairs Is impending. The
world has no parallel to the rapidity of
the growth of manufacturing in that
country. OF silk, cotton and other textiles
the value Of Japan's manufactures in 1886
was but little over seventeen million yen.
The value increased ten million yen in
one year and from seventeen in 1886 had
jumped to nearly forty seven million in
1891, From $50 to 1892 the amount of
cotton yarn manufactured had increased
twenty fold. In 1898 Japan exported to
the United States six times as much rs
she did to Great Britain, but she imported
from that country over four times as
much as she lid from the United States.
In other words Japan buys in England
and sells in the United States. This fact
is respectfully referred to those free
trade theorists who argue that If we buy
of u country we are sure TO sell to 1t on
reciprocal terms
Since the conclusion of Japans war
with China the growth in her manufac-
lures is said to have surpassed even that
which was so marvellous between 1856
and the beginning of the war. Her
capitalists are shrewd investors, her
laborers are bred to live upon what an
Anglo Saxon would starve; generations
OF experience have taught them how to
get along amid conditions which would
be fatal TO laborers, descended from Euro
poan ancestry, A few copper coins or

little Thorns Hidden In the Rose Strewn
Path of the Newly Engaged Girl.

The tine when girl is first engaged is
popularity supposed to be the happiest pc
riod of her life, yet there are many little
trials connected with the new relationship,
and many new responsibilities involved
There is the question whether her flance
will ''get on" with her friends and rela-
tiycs Some men are not very adaptable,
and they do not readily get on in a new
set. 1t is possible that Angelina's friends
may not really appreciate Edward, and it
is equally likely that his relatives may not
care about her. Then it is difficult to steer
clear of complications when she and he 60
into society together. If she speaks to any
ono else, he is jealous; if she devotes her,
self too much TO him, she may be blamed
for making herself too conspicuous.
His family may regard her with a coldly
critical eye, and find a thousand faults
with her manners She must leave il to
them to make the first advance. There is
absolutely nothing to be done until they
have shown that they are ready to wei
como her into the family. AS soon as Ed
ward has informed his mother of his
choice she must write q letter to the
young girl expressing her pleasure at the
uows and Gf she does not know her) her
desire to make her acquaintance. She
should also call on tho mother of the
fiancce with as little delay as possible.
Both letter and call should be responded
to ut once as it is of the utmost impor.
tancc that friendly relations between the
two families should he maintained.
If the mother of the bridegroom lives Mt
some distance from town, she will proba-
bly, invite the young girl ON short visit
in order that they may become better ac-
quaintcd. Such % visit is often sad or
deal to girl, for of course she will be
anxious to make as good an impression as
possible.
1t IS very incorrect to make any parade
about announcing an engagement for it
might seem as though the young lady were
assuming an air of triumph The mother
OF the bride elect is the proper person to
make the announcement. She should
write to the nearest relatives and Intimate
friends and the news will spread fast
enough. The amount Of freedom permit.
ted to tho young couple depends chiefly on
the length of the engagement.
II the engagement is likely to DO a long
one, II Is better for the young couple not
TO make themselves too conspicuous. but
II the marriage is to take place within n
Few months it is usual to permit the en-
gagged couple to be as much in one an
other society as they please. The modern

A Few WARM g Words.

The best advice to give the woman
who is travelling is that she must mot
be in a hurry. Hurrying will tire her
out before she starts, will make her
face red and upset her nerves. Let
her arrange as to time, know exactly
how much she has, and study the art
of reaching her train ~punctually,
which does not mean an hour too soon
or three minutes too late, but just
ahead of the hour set. 1t is her duty
to look well, but not to be over
dressed. 1t is her duty to have with
her the belongings she may require,
but she should not have so many I'M
necessary things'in the way of bundles
and bags that the public feel that she
is an unpleasant care upon them. It
is her duty to preserve her temper, to
look for all agreeable things, to
ignore the disagreeable ones, and
then, indeed, will she find pleasure as
she goes abroad ''strange'countries for
to see."-Ladies' Home Journal.

The Coroner's Jury In the Case OF Minnie
Williams Hold Young Durant for the
Murder-The Evidence Against Him,
Though Circumstantial, Clear and Con-
vincing-Thst in the Case of Miss La
mont Still More So.
SAN Francisco, April 20.-The coro-
hers jury yesterday charged Theodore
Durant with the murder of Minnie
Williams, one of the young girls who
was recently killed in Emanuel Bap-
fist church.
Durant awoke yesterday in a cheer
full and even hippant frame of mind.
He laughed and cracked jokes with the
prison officials, to whom he has here
tofore shown intense reserve, and
when Capt. Douglass entered the
prison for the purpose of escorting the
%prisonesr to the inquest, Durant
greeted the captain pleasantly and
smiled as the handouts were snapped
upon his wrists.
When the inquest twas resumed DR..
Vogel and Elmer Wolfe were called,
but their testimony developed nothing
new. Wolfe accounted satisfactorily
for his movements on the night of the
murder.
Miss Frances Willis testified as to
seeing Durant on a train coming back
from Alameda on Monday, the sth in
slant, thus corroborating the state
ment of Morgan, at whose house the
girl was living. Durant has denied
that he was in Alameda on the date
mentioned. Miss Willis further testi-
fed that Durant boarded the train at
Park station, which is about a block
from the Morgan residence.
The last witness vas DIR. j. S. Bar
rett, the autopsy physician, who gave
testimony as to the cause of death. In
the witness opinion the wound in the
heart had been made after death. as
was the deep breast wound. Other
wounds had been made before death.
Examination had also shown hat out
rage had preceded the murder. At
the conclusion of DR.. Barrett's testi-
mony the jury retired.
After being out half an hour the
jury returned a verdict finding that
Miss Williams "came to her death
from hemorrhage due to lacerated
wounds and asphyxia due to strangu-
lation," and I'VE further find from evil
dence obtained that the crime was
committed by one Theodore Durant,
and we find him guilty thereof"
Chief Crowley said: The evidence
against Durant is clear and convinc-
ing, and 1 am fully satisfied of his
guilt. We shall prove beyond a shadow
of a doubt that he met and murdered
Miss Williams, and have no hesitation
in saying that the evidence in the case
of Blanche Lamont is even stronger
than in the former case"
Coroner Hawkins has decided to hold
the inquest in the case of Miss Lamont
on Monday morning next.

How to Bake a Fish.

Some housekeepers hesitate to bake
a fish because of the difficulty they
find in taking it out of the pan with
out breaking it in pieces. Here is a
revelation for them-simple, to be sure,
but very comforting: After the fish
has been prepared in the usual way,
grease the pan literally with lard, and
then lay a sheet of nice brown paper,
cut to the size of the pan, in the bot
tom. Grease the paper thoroughly,
and lay the fish upon it. Salt it, and,
if the fish is of a dry nature, like tau.
tog or halibut, lay slices of pork on it.
Bluefish, mackerel and the like need
no pork. Fish baked in this way can
easily be taken from the pan without
breaking it at all, and the trouble of
cleaning the pan afterwards, which is
not a little when the baking is done in
the usual manner, is entirely avoided.
