Childhood,s Simple PIeasures.

The exultation which Mrs. Kate, Doug las Wiggin feels over sher real childhood with its copper toed shoes and rag doll, in her chapter on training children, will find an echo in the breasts of many city moth- CTS. It is what many of them fight for for their children as they fight for health in the city's microbe and bacillus laden air
 "How can real child keep her happy enjoyment in simple pleasures?" said q woman,, discussing this point recently, "when every influence to which she is subject is against it2 My little girl had a birthday lately, her tenth, and she was thrown into an ecstasy of delight over a little silver pin an aunt sent her.
 She rushed over to show it to her other self, the little neighbor over the way, and returned in few minutes with the ser pent in her Eden. I saw the cloud and soon found its cause
 Mamma she whispered, coming close to mo, Kitty thinks my pin isn't sterling What is sterling, mammal
 That's the whole thing in a nutshell. Everything today must represent so many dollars, or it has no value. The atmos phero of life is so surcharged with this strife for tho high priced that even the babies absorb it, and childhood, with no discrimination, is tormented by it. It makes my heart ache to think that the birthright of my little ones-the capacity to enjoy without kDowing-is being stolen from them, and must stand by powerless to prevent it. "-New York Times.

SETTING JAP TYPE.
Evidently There Is No Fun In Getting Out fs Tokyo Newspaper.


 = Henry Norman says in s.Real Japan;" "They arc very keen journalists in tho land of the chrysanthemum, but it must 1. be allowed that the business is carried on under difficulties, from which even tho hardened western newspaper man might shrink appalled, The internal organiza- ton of newspaper office is q sad spectacle of daily struggle. with difficulties un- known elsewhere and really unnecessary here
 "The Japanese written and printed character consists of tho Chinese ideo- graphs, those complicated square figures made up of an apparent tumble of zigzags and crosses and ticks and triangles and tails-'the footprints of a drunken fly and of tho original Japanese syllabary, called kama. Of the former there are 20,- 000 in all, of which perhaps II, GOO consti- tute the scholars vocabulary, and no few CT than A. GOO arc in common daily use, while the 47 simple letters of the kHna are known to everybody Therefore the Jap anese compositor has to be prepared to place in his stick any one of over 4,000 different types-truly an appalling task.
 'From the nature of the problem sev- eral consequences naturally follow. First, he must be a good deal of a scholar him. self to recognize all these instantly and ae ourately; secondly, his eyesight suffers fearfully, and he generally wears huge pair of inagnifying goggles, and, third, as it is physically impossible. for any ono man to reach LOGO types a totally different method of case arrangement has to be de. vised.
 "The typo, therefore, of whom there arc only threo or four on paper, sits at little table at ono end of a large room with the caso containing bis 1T kann syllables before him. From end to end of the room tall cases of typo are arranged like the shelves in crowded library, passage three feet wide being left between each two The compositor receives his copy in large pieces, which he cuts sinto little takes and hands each of these to one of half dozen boys who assist him. The boy takes this and proceeds to walk about among the cases till he has collected each of the ideographs, or square Chinese picture I words, emitting all tho kama syllables which connect them. While these boys ' are thus running to and fro snatching up the types and jostlng each other they keep up continual chant, singing tho name of the character they are looking for, as they cannot recognize it till they hear its sound the ordinary lower class Japanese not understanding his daily paper unless be reads 1t aloud.

GAMBLING ORlENTALS.

Games of Chance Are the Breath of
 Life to Them.
 There appear to be three races of mon tho Chinese, the Malays and the natives of Manilla, to whom in every grade and un- der all conditions of life gambling in some form or other is as tho breath of their nos trils. The love of it is inborn. They seem unable to live conteIffed lives without the pleasurable excitement that is to be found in gamessof mingled chance and skill, but tameng Chinamen generally, and certainly among Chinamen abroad, the gambling is of very mild typo. indeed. In most cities where thcro Is considerable alien Chinese population to be dealt with the necessity for licensing and regulating or at least winking at the existence of their gaming houses is recognized. It is the ono pastine in n life of continuous toll, tho denial of which would bo ihtoler able and practically impossible. a'
 But the evil never assumes proportions of any more seriousness than our own domestic hand of Napoleon" or the club rubber of whist or nominal points so long as tho authorities confne the games strictly to the Chinamen themselves, Q course followed in such cities as Calcutta and Sydney. It is only when the riffraff of other races are allowed to "take hand" and to utilize the Chinese games, tables and banks for the qualification of their own gambling propensities that any thing like widespread mischief is wrought. A Chinaman may, in rare instances, lose his all when gaming among his own coun- trymen, but if this result does happen he goes next day contentedly back to work and is not like most ruined gamblers of European stock, permanently incapacitat- ed for honest toll.
 If white men loso money in a Chinese gambling house. they are at once illogical, dishonest and contemptible in denouncing the Chinese as the cause of their misfor tune. Tho bush workers inveigh against their Chinese competitors for their habit of gambling, yet it is notorious that the shearers and the roustabouts' huts on the sheep stations are frequently scenes where men are, in colonial phrascology, "lambed down" and fleeced of all their season s earnings by quasiprofessional gamblers, who find the evening game at cards far more profitable and to their taste than the days work on or around the shearing board. Similarly in the cities tho poor Chnaman is denounced for his fondness for fantan or pakapu, played for coppers, while the very men who throw the stone openly frequent race courses and card clubs Nineteenth Century.

A Ducks Death From Grief,

MT. E. C.-Lanier of Waynesboro tells q pathetic duck story. He owned pair of ducks, one of which was seriously injured and was put in a pen for protection. The old drake was faithful to his better half Pnd sat around the pen with all the pa tience of one anxious for the recovery of somo dear one The injured duck died within few days and the old drake re- fused to eat and finally died from grief, for he was apparently in the best of health and was fed regularly.

A Tricky Actor.

Lemaitre, the French actor, was always head over heels in debt, despite an enor- nous salary, and was always kept busy devising means by which he could raise money. Ono evening, an hour before the I curtain was to rise upon new play, a well known pawnbroker entered the pri- vate office of the director of the Theatre Francais.
 Here is pawn ticket for you sir. i" s For mel" exclaimed the astonished di- rector.
 "Yes, monsieur It is for 20, 900 francs, and hold M. Lemaitre as security. He cannot leave my place until I have been paid. tstG
