Japan there is any feast at all, the
bridegroom bears the burden.
We eat together at long tables. In
Japan small tables are set for just one
person. Their servants stand in front
instead ofplacing the plates on the Ia
BILE from behind.
Doctors bills are unknown in Japan.
When a physician is called in, he never
asks for his fee; but when his services
are no longer required, present is
made to him Of whatever sum the pa
tient or his friends deem to be just
compensation. The doctor is suppos-
ed to smile, take the fee, bow and
thank his patron.
Children are not kissed in Japan.
To the strict observance of this rule
has been traced the remarkable alb
sence of various iniantile diseases in
that country. Indeed, kissing and en-
bracing are practically unknown as
tokens of affection. Such actions
would be held to be highly immodest,
Girls do not kiss one another, nor do
parents kiss or embrace their children
and this rule holds good of all classes
Of society, from the highest nobility to
the humblest peasantry.
Children never wear boots, and
know no cradles. They are carried
until they can walk, first on the
mothers back, then on the older broth
er's or sisters back. They are not
weaned until they are several years
old, as rule. The small children of
the poor, who are given TO straying
and have no nurses to look after them,
are very sensibly safe-guarded by a
simple precaution Of hanging labels
round their necks, which tell their
names and addresses.
There are no old maids in Japan.
When a woman is not married at a
certain age, the authorities choose a
husband for her whom she is compell-
ed to marry.

scientific fashion, and forestry, which
is almost unknown in America, and
will become in few years science of
the greatest importance to us, will be
carried on experimentally and practial-
ly to an extent never before attempted
in this country. Mr.. Vanderbilt has
just returned to New York from Bilt-
more, where he has been spending the
summer in completed wing of his
great mansion. He expects to have
the house finished in time for Christ
mas house warming, the guests at
which will be chiefly members of his
own family. Edgar Poe wrote story
once about a man whose income was so
large that landscape gardening was
the only hobby that could make any
serious inroads on it, and it may be
that it was this story that gave Mr.
Vanderbilt his idea.-N. Y. Sun.

HOW GOLD Is EXPORTED.

Two or more million dollars of gold
Withdraw wn from the United States sub
treasury and put aboard steamers fol
shipment to Europe in one day sounds
like a pretty big undertaking to per
sons outside of Wall street, yet it i:
but few hours labor to the men who
make handling gold their business
and the whole transaction is simple
one.
When banker, or coffee merchant
or whoever it may be, determines tc
send gold abroad to meet his obliga'
lions, instead of buying bills of ex'
change, he accumulates the amount he
intends to ship in the form Of green
backs, treasury notes, or certificates
and presents them at the sub-treasury
The government is bound to maintain
its credit much as it may dislike to see
the gold go, and the treasury officials
turn over the equivalent of the cur.
rency presented in gold coin at short
notice. When the gold is handed tt
the shipper all government RESPONSE
bility ceases.
The yellow metal is put in canvass
bags and carried to a cooper, whose
specially is making kegs for shipping
gold. The gold kegs are about 1e
inches high and 10 inches in diameter
at the center. They are made of oak
and are firmly strapped with iron
hoops. The packing of Il key of gold
is an easy matter to the "gold COOPER u
A keg will hold $4,000 of gold coin
and the cooper will have 81 900, 900 of

p6~ In the great outlay which George
Vanderbilt is making at Biltmore, in
North Carolina, the young millionaire
has entertained a more serious purpose
than is generally known. a great deal
has been written about the enormous
house, with its library, chapel, scores of
bedrooms, and the army of servants
which will be required to keep it up,
but not every one knows that Mr..
Vanderbilt intends to make his estate
a Mecca for all those who are seriously
interested in the study Of forestry,
scientific farming aud horticulture.
He has land enough to carry out any
scheme of this sort, no matter how big
it may be, as he can go 10 miles in a
direct line from his own door without
passing the confines of his domain.
He proposes, therefore, to create a
neighborhood of his own on this vast
property, which includes, among other
cultivated and uncultivated tracts, one
forest alone of more than 100, 900 acres.
He will build village containing
houses, stores, and picturesque inn,
and apartments will be rented to all
properly accredited students who desire
to avail themselves of the facilities Of
fered there for the study ofthe sciences
which are his hobby. The farm will be
conducted after the most approved

it was Jerrold who struck him and sped

conviction that the sooner the young
officer was called to account for his

episodes Of the ladder, the lights and the

for the present at least, to lock them in

But he forgot that others, too, must

IN JAPAN--THE LAND OF UPSIDE DOWN.

A japanese book begins where ours
ends, the word "inis" coming where
we put our title page. Consequently,
when we read book, we turn the
leaves from right to left, while the
japanese turn them from left to right
The japanese put their foot notes al
the top of the page, and the reader
puts his book mark in at the bottom.
In writing a letter, the Jap puts the
stamp on the seal, and writes the name
of the town first, and the name Of the
addressee last, thus exactly reversing
our way of putting the particular first
and the general last. The complete
address thus assumes an appearance
which to us is comical in the extreme
as, for example: Japan, Toxic, Akasa'
ka District, Such-andSuch street
10 Number, Smith John Mr..
In Japan, children are called by
their family name, or ''last" name
first, and their "given" or Christian
second. 1t is as if we were to call oul
youngsters in such way as Jones
Tom, Smith Peter, Robinson Mary.
In Japan, the total of bill is put
at the top, and the items beneath, and
many tools and implements are used in
way contrary to ours. For instance
japanese turn the lock the "wrong
way" and japanese carpenters saw
and plane toward, instead of away
from themselves. When the ingen'
ious Jap was first introduced to cork
screws, his notion was TO twist the
bottle on the screw.
The Jap mounts his horse on the
right side, all parts of the harness are
fastened on the right, the name is made
to hang on the left side; and, strangest
of all, when the animal is brought
home and put into the stable, its head
is placed where we suppose its tai
ought to be, and the animal is fed from
tub at the stable door.
Boats are hauled upon the beach
stern first. The japanese in naming
the points of the compass, do not say
northeast or southwest, but "east
north" "west SOUTH"
The best room of a house is not al
the front, but at the back. The gar,
den too, is at the back. When build,
ing house, the roof is constructed
first, then, the pieces having been
numbered, it is broken up again and
kept until the substructure is finished
Politeness in Japan prompts the re.
moval of the footgear, not OF the head
gear. The ladies have different ideas
on dress and beauty from those of Eu-
ropeans. \ European beauty wears
low-necked and almost sleeveless
dresses, but would be shocked at the
bare thought of showing her ankles; a
japanese keeps the upper portions
carefully covered, and shows her feet.
The women of the middle and lower
classes, when dressed for an evening
entertainment, show as much of their
feet as they can, sometimes being en-
tirely bareiooted. In Japan the ladies'
dress splendidly until they are 16-the
aye about which, in our country, they
only begin to dress well.
White, not black, is worn as mourn
ing. Marriages are solemnized!in the

TALL STRUCTURES.

The tallest chimney was built at
Port Dundas, Glasgow, Scotland, 1857
to 1859, for F. Townsend. It's the high.
est chimney in the world (454 feet) and
one of the lofliest masonry structures
in existence. 1t is, independent of its
size, one of the best specimens of sub
stanlial, well-made brick work in exis'
tence. In Europe there are only two
church steeples that exceed this struct'
ure in height-namely, that of the Co.
logne Cathedral (510 feeD and that o.

liked Jerrold, and Chcstcr's rugged

older and wiser heads in the regiment it
was due to him that that Older and wis

not one among the seniors whom he
could call upon. As he ran over their
names Chester for the first time realized
that his cx-subaltern had not a friend
among the captains and senior officers
now on duty at the fort. His indiffer-

conceit and self sufficiency, had all serv-

this had been intensified by his conduct

A Boy CAN TRUsT.-I once visited
public school. AT recess little fel-
low came up and spoke to the teacher
As he turned to 60 down the platform
the master said, "This is the boy l can
trust; he never failed me-" followed
him with my eye, and looked at him
when he took his seat at recess. He
had fine, manly face, l thought a
good deal about the masters remark.
What a character had that boy earned !
He had already gotten what would be
more to him than a fortune. 1t would
be passport into the best firm in the
city, and what is better, into the conf
dence and respect of the whole COM
munity. l wonder if the boys know
how soon they are rated by other peo-
Pile? Every boy in the neighborhood is
known, and opinions are formed OF
him; he has q character either favor
able or unfavorable. A boy of whom
the master can say, 81 can trust him ;
he never failed me-" will never want
employment. The fidelity, prompt
ness and industry which he shows at
school are in demand everywhere. He
who is faithful in little will be faithful
