couMrRY e1Rns, scRlAp BOOKS.


There is more to be had from the sys-
TEN OF clipping pictures than is general
,y supposed. An ambitious girl who lived
in a remote rural district, where books
and pictures and means of education
were very scarce, trained herself to an
excellent knowledge of many things by
this means. She formed quite library
by filling blank books with pictures of
every historical and eminent person
whose portrait she could procure. The
picture was pasted at the top of the page,
and she never rested until she was able
to write the hitsory of that person upon
the rest of the PAGE. Copies of famous
pictures were treated in the same way,
and the date of it's painting, the name of
the artist, and a little sketch Of the
subject of the picture treated was written
beneath by her own pen. Companions to
her art book, as she called it, were her
sculpture book; her botany book; full OF
flowers her book of birds and insects,
and her book of costumes of different
periods, as well as a similar volume on
architecture and furniture. BY the time
these books were finished by this woman,
who was apparently absolutely cut off
from all sources of refinement and culti-
vation, had acquired knowledge and de-
veloped an amount of taste and discrlm-
ination that might we'll have been envicd
by any one. A chance encounter with
Ruskin's Modern Painters" set her off
again on a new road by their revelation
of the laws of order and beauty that un-
derlie all growth of plants, movement of
water and form of clouds. At once the
lonely scene about her became full Of in
terest. Never a drifting cumulus of curd-
ed cirrus shadowed the sun but 1t set
her busy mind at work upon the laws, OF
its being. Never a green bough bent over
her head or a brook flowed across her
path that she did not stop to trace its
history and origin written plainly in Its
form and course.-iLadies' Home Journal

DANGER OF ORIENTAL coMPErI-
TION.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The Times-Herald has commented at
length upon the danger that may be ap-
pretended by American manufacturers
from competition in the Orient in the
event of the free admisslCn n of lis manu-
featured products to our ports. The phe-
nomenal progress made by China ana
Japan in the manufacture of silk and cot
ton fabrics has been but recently com
mented upon and the grave concern of
American and English manufacturers is
not u.layed in the least by the recent
revelations of American travellers who
have 'availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to personally investigate these
factories in the Orient.
Mr.. William e. Curtis, reliable and
painstalSing correspondent of the Record,
now in Japan adds confirmatory testi-
mony 10 the statements already adduced,
and brings out some additional facts that
are invested with more than ordinary
significance. He shows that japan not
only has the advantage OF both English
and American manufacturers in the mat
ter of wages and cheap raw material,
but as she is doing business on a silver
basis the wages she pays for operatives
are even much smalser than would at
ilrSt appear. Inc JdpdueSe W. pay 10
and 20 cents day for male labor ana
8 to 10 cents a day for women. From an
American standpoint. however. the Jap
anese pay in silver, America and England
4 and cents for women, while from a
Japanese standpoint the Americans pay
SO and 81 for men and about n.j0 and
50 for women, which is double the wages
paid from an American standpoint. The
fabrics they produce sell for the same
price the world over, but While the jap
anese pay in Silver England and America
pay in currency that is OH a gold basis
Therefore, while the outlay of one las
doubled that of the other has been di
minished one-half. The japanese manu-
facturer has suffered no increase in fixed
charges or in the cost Of labor, and gets
double prices for his products. An idea
of the increase of the cotton mill industry
of Japan may be gained from the fact
that in 1888 there were 16 mills with
4S,7OO spindles, while in 1894 there were
46 mills with 5,419 spindles, it is
thought there will lbe 711.00O splnlles in
operation by January /, 1896.
1t is thus very apparent that the Amerl-
can wage Garner without protective
tariff would have to compete not only
with cheap labor but with a cheap and
debased currency.

WHILE IN PARIS DO" EUROPE.

An artful and ingenious Frenchman in
Paris, with a well developed and subtle
knowledge of the frailties and vanlties OF
the travelling public, has hit upon a plan
that will place many American dollars In
his pocket and at the same time permit
those who go abroad this summer 10 prac-
tice innocent impositions upon their cred
ulous friends and neighbors on their re-
turn.
His method is a simple one, and yet,
when adopted in connection with care
full reading Of Baedeker or some other
guide book, is one that is almost certain
to mislead the folks at ONE" and give
one an appearance of having travelled
much, although he may not have gone
to any other Place on the continent than
Paris.
This thoughtful provldent Frenchman
has laid in an excellent stock Of those
innocent and therefore truthful teli-tale
pastors that all travellers cherish and
delight in having stuck upon their trunks
and boxes in places far from home They
are exact reproductions Of the pa3ters or
Labels most in use at railway stations
and hostelries In the various countries
abroad, and these for a mild c)nside"a-
tion he will apply to any article of bag
gage that traveller may have. The tour
ist selects the Labels and he does the
rest.
With enough of these stuck about in
Discriminatory to be used in evidence and
a slight knowledge of the plac IS thereby
indicated, CLEANED from a guidebook, de-
ception is made easy and reputation
for having 'done" Europe can be cheaply
gained
This industry Is a new one ard bids
fair to meet with great success, as tales
of foreign travels like those of fishing
adventures are seldom confined to the
niceties of truth, and 1t Is not eonsidered
any more improper to stretch a point
in telling about one than 1t is in telling
about the other.
The scheme was first made known on
this side or the arrival of the White
Star steamship Teutonic the other day.
A vivaclous young woman who hal been
abroad with some friends was met al
the steamer by her brother, who looked
after her baggage.
After the customs officials nad tumble1
the things In her trunk about as the law
requires her brother noticed the many
pastors upon it.
He expressed surprise that she had been
in so many places during her short aO-
senee, and remarked that she had said
nothing of many Of them IN ne- letters.
She laughed heartily at this remark ana
told him that they had nearly al been
put on in Paris. 1T only cost me 4 france
and lots OF others had done II, too." she
said. Sne then stated that she could have
had plenty more had she desir ID, as the
man had all that any one could wish.

The Indian manner OF catching salmon

THE AsroRs' HOLDINGS.
Largest Owners of Real Estate in New
York City,

There is no doubt that William Wal
dorf Astor and John Jacob Astor are the
largest individual owners OF real estate in
New York city Like John Jacob Astor,
the elder, they have always regarded real
estate the safest investment Old John
Jacob Astor first became a real estate
owner in 1883, when he bought for $25 a
lot OF land on the Bowery near Elizabeth
street. Twenty-one years later he was
the largest holder of real estate in New
York, and his descendants have ever
since kept the lead in this respect. In
1885 he sod the Astor house for ST.
William B. Astor had expressed a desire
to own it, whereupon John jacob told
him that he would sell 1t to him for the
amount named. The bargain was con-
cluded on the spot. The greatest care
has always been taken to keep the exact
value of the Astor estate from the public
When John Jacob Astor, the first. died he
was said to be worth $2O,OO0,000. At
William Astor's death 1t was reported
that he was worth $50,OO00OO, but this
estimate has been declared to be too low
The Astor family have been acquiring
real estate in New York since 1911, no
matter who has been at its head. Rents
which accrued were reinvested with a
particular view to the location of the
property. John Jacob and william Wal
dorf Astor have continued to make real
estate investments with land bought in
Harlem and the annexed district within
a few years. One real estate authority
in speaking about the Astor land holdings
said that south of Eighty-sixth street 1t
included twenty-five acres of land solidly
built up. Yet this large amount of prop
erty does not amount to more than half
of the Astor estate. which owns lands
and buildings around Jerome park and
alongside Riverside drive and the Boule-
ward. 1t is the business custom of the
Astors to give leaseholds for Il years.
on which the lessees build, the lease be-
ing subjeca to renewal at the end Of q
years on reappraisement, The ground
rent for these properties goes to the es-
tate, but on the assessment books the
property does not appear in the name OF
the Astors.
