The tone of the Japanese people is
artistic, but the man of action in Japan
possesses strength, intellectual and
moral. A land where strong men too
much abound may be torn by faction;
this has not happened in new Japan
though in olden days the history was
made up of the quarrels of rival
shoguns. Since 1854 her course has
been nodded by few men, but able
ones.

The Coreans of the lower classes are

turesque. The men, in the higher
classes. are often intclliyent-loolsing
but generally also sensual. The cos
tune is simply hideous. never could

The country is said to be infested
with tigers, and no one ever thinks of
venturing out at night without Ian
tern. A gentleman who came on board
our ship gave a graphic description Of
how a tiger had come up on his porch
the night before and scratched for adj
mission. I always regret not having

beast in or not.

every point of access is covered by the

of the harbor at Nagasalsi. The fertile
islands and wooded hills were replaced
by bare rocks and plateaux, surmounted
with breastworlzs and formioa5lc-lools-

far from being pleasing. was cold and
forbidding. Chinese. Japanese, and

flames were discovered emanating from
a building occupied as a meat market
midway between the upper and lower
towns. and before the fire was out sew
eral buildings, one of which was the
Belt branch" of the county jail, were
reduced to ashes. The thriving, grow
ing and prosperous town of Belt, al
though containing population OF $500.
has no fire department. not even a
bucket brigade, and, as a result, the
fire king holds full sway whenever he
makes his appearance. There are hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth of
property that Is absolutely unprotect-
ed in case of destructive fire. Efforts
will be made to incorporate the town
as early as possible now, and the first
move that ought to be made thereafter
is the organization of a fire depart
ment. The origin of to-day's fire is not
definitely known, but is supposed to
have had its start from a defective fiue
in the butcher shop. The lesson given
by this fire Is timely, and there IL not
a resident of the camp to-day but what
Is willing and anxious to contribute to
a fund to be used in securing protection
of some kind from future fires.

The Smallest Wool Deal.

Great Falls. Nov. 26.-Col. Thomas
Fields, chief clerk Of the Park hotel OF
this city. last August consigned his
wool clip, through c. p. Mum, to the
commission house of Dewey, Gould &
Co of Boston, and he has just received
returns from the same. At the time OF
the deal there existed warm rivalry
between e. p. May, Mr.. Num- and sew
eral other wool buyers as to who should
get the clip, but Num- walked OFF tri-
umphantly with the prize. The state
ment received to-day by Colonel
Fields shows that he consigned the
firm A pounds of wool. which sold at
a figure that brought $500; the expense
account shows that sack, freight and
carriage, commission and the like, cost
$1.26, leaving a balance due Colonel
Fields of $3.50, which amount was en-
closed by check. Great Falls now
claims the smallest as well as the larg-
est wool deal made in Montana this
year. The colonel Is agreeably i'm
pressed with his first public experience
in the wool business, but Is inclined to
color UP and get angry when his friends
persist in asking where he obtained
the wool-which was white, soft, and
of good quality.
