roll Of good mating can be bought for
81 in Japan. The very best female
operatives in the factories work for 10
or 20 cents day, and the finest male
artisans only get so cents day. No
woman in Japan is too poor to afford
silk dress.
The most beautiful books in the
world are published in Japan, and the
cost of printing, engraving and bind
ing is only triae. Wages are almost
nothing, but the japanese can live
we'll on what we would starve on. a
workingman can furnish cottage
nicely for less than $40, and his rent
need not be over 10 cents month.
In fact, it is said that young couple
can begin housekeeping very comfor-
tably on $3.50.
The prices quoted above are on a
silver basis, and if paid in gold would
be cut down one-half. So, when we
are told that the best male mechanics
get only 80 cents day and good
clerks only 10 cents, We should bear
in mine the fact that they can be en-
ployed for half that, if paid in gold.
Now, what shall we do with these
people? If they can live we'll on
nothing and flood our country with all
kinds of goods for song, we might as
we'll close every factory, mill, forge
and shop in the land and all 60 to
farming. How shall We be saved from
this deluge Of cheap goods ? Our
workmen cannot come down to wages
at 5 cents day and rent cottages at
20 cents month in gold, or double
those figures in silver. 1t will be said
that we can raise our tariff and bar out
these cheap goods, but that would be
protection for projections sake, and
we cannot come to that without
abandoning the democratic policy.
We want cheap goods, but we do
not want them too cheap. When they
are too cheap they will knock our peo-
pie out Of employment.
If all this is to befall us the ques-
ton again comes up, what shall We do
with japan ?-Atzanta Constitution.

Anecdotes Of Dogs.

A writer in WatterJon tells the fol-
lowing stories Of sagacity exhibitions
dogs:
A short while ago I heard an anec-
dote about fox-terrier which may
perhaps interest you. One day this
dog was left alone in the dining room
when the table was laid for luncheon.
By means Of a chair he got on the
table, and was coolly helping himself
to the viands, when the entrance OF a
servant put sudden stop to his en-
joyment. He was punished for this,
and that punishment must have lived
in his memory, for some weeks after
wards he appeared in the kitchen in a
state of the widest excitement. He
pulled at the cooks dress with his
teeth, then dashed to the door. This
be did several times, till, moved by
curiosity, the cook followed him up
stairs. he led the way to the dining
room, and then, barking triumphantly,

More Hogs And Less He'll.

In speech delivered in Congress a
few years ago Roswell e. Horr, then
member from Michigan, advised the
Southern people "to raise more hogs
and less hell" if they evere1pected to
have peace, contentment and pros
perity. There: are evidences that
some of the people in that eueighbor-
hood have adopted hisradvice and are
acting upon it. Recent! numberssof
the Charleston'N News and Courier con-
tain information to this effect.
In one instance The News and Cou-
rier records the raisingoof pig that
weighed 443 pounds, and ::theaowner
eagerly made known the fact. But
he was allowed the pre-eminence only
two days, when colored' man came
forwardcwith a 450-pound hog raised
in the same time, and even he had to
give way to the owner Of 59l-pound-
er, which it had taken little longer
to raise, it is true, but whose average
growth per month was.the largests;sof
the three. There are other counties
yet to hear from, and the owner Of the
591 -poupder may have to give way to
the owner Of a 60O-pounder. In any
event, it has been demonstrated that
South Carolina can raise hogs if it
devotes it's attention to it instead Of
to raising sheol.
Another proof Eof the changing
| methods in the South is also given by
| the Charleston News and Courier. 1t
| asks it's correspondents to send in re-
| ports of the condition Of the farmers
| in the different counties, and among
the replies are such statements as
| these: In Berkeley County the far
mers have made an abundance Of corn
! and potatoes, some OF them having
enough corn to last two years; in
| Beaufort County the condition Of the
farming population is reported good
so far as provision crops and meats
are concerned in Chester County the
barns and larders of the farmers are
| said to be fuller than at any time in
| the last ten years, perhaps fifteen
| years, while in Barnwell County it is
| claimed that there is abundant corr
and bacon to feed its population.
If they will continue to raise big
corn crops and big hogs in South Car
olina and stop lynching negroes ano
leave off stufing ballot boxes, an ere
of prosperity will open for that State
that will make the eyes Of its people
bulge with surprise. tits more bacor
and more corn and fewer mobs anc
less voting after the polls are CLOSED
| that South Carolina wants. The sen
timental era Of business is past anc
the hog and hominy era has come.--

MISPLACED AFFECTION.
Why Young Frenchman Left Sud-
rarlv for EIrone

Why a Young Frenchman Left Sud-
c!enIy for Europe.
A certain young French nobleman,
who arrived in Washington day or
two ago, left in a hurry for his! own
shores, giving as his reason to the
clerk Of the uptown hotel where he
stopped that he could not enjoy
himself In a country whose language
he did not understand. He came,
expecting to remain several weeks,
and there is a romance connected
with his abrupt departure. 1t seems
that two summers ago he met fair
young American girl in Paris, and
he fell in love with her speedily, or
with the fortune she was reputed to
possess. At all events, the affair
seemed to progress smoothly, and
there was every prospect of o union.
It was to claim the hand of the young
lady that brought the gentleman to
Washington, and on the day he
landed he sent back cablegram to
his mother, saying: "All is well; am
very happy" The very next day he
cabled: Everything broken off. Re-
turn at once"
What sudden cloud obscured his
visions Of bliss none except the par
ties to the episode know. Whether
fate, in the shape of stern father,
interposed to break off the match Is
only for conjecture. Or it may be
that the young aristocrat found at
the last moment that satisfactory
marriage settlements could not be
made. At cny rate, he vanished,
and some American girl will be all
the happier tor getting on American
husband d.--W ashington Post.

Shoes Made OF q Neg-ys Skin.

A certain prominent physician Of
Philadelphia (not New Orleans) always
wears shoes made from leather OBJ
tanned by tanning the skins Of negroes.
In order to further satisfy the anti
mob-for- -any-cause people Of the North,
I will say that this same physician is
not Southerner by birth, and fur
thermore, he fought to free the beings
whose skins he now uses as footwear.
He may have done his fighting from
pure selfshness, however, for it must
be admitted that negro skins are more
easily obtained now than they were

AvE.-INa SCHOOLS.
Method Of Imparting

= ezh Method OF impartlng
knowledge to Little Wanderers.
From early In the spring to late In
the fall there Is o succession OF fairs
in the different parts Of France,
some Of which, as the gingerbread
fairs of Paris, are celebrated, says
the Scientific American. These fairs
somewhat resemble our American
circus with It's attending sideshows.
A large number Of caravan wagons
serve to carry the families Of the
owners OF the booths from place to
place, other wagons carry tents for
performances of various kinds, and
in addition to the sale Of trinkets
and eatables, the dime museum fea-
lures are not forgotten. In many
cases the fairs are held without the
walls of the city or town, as then the
eatables are not subjected to the
municipal tax (octroi. In this no.
madic kind of life the question of
the education of the children of these
people was a serious problem which
was not solved until about three
years ago when Miss Bonnefois
founded a travelling school for the
children OF the forains, as their par
ents are called. There ore at pres
ent two of the schools for Paris and
its immediate neighborhood. Huge
caravan wagons are used.
These wagons are eighteen feet
long and ten feet wide. The light
filters through the green linen
sides, for the improvised school
houses have no windows. Black
boards, mapa and all the usual par
aphernalia CT the schoolroom are
provided. The children range from
about eight to fourteen years, and
the hours ci instruction are from
eight to ten III the morning and from
two to four in the afternoon. The
schools follow a fixed itinerary from
spring to fall, while in the winter
they remain stationary.
AS the children would be apt to
be transferred from one fair to an
other, the method of instruction in
the schools is Identical, so that
student may have lesson In the
school at Grenelle in the morning
and recite his or her lesson at st.
Denis in the afternoon. The par
ents OF the children recognize the
advantage Of education, aud are dis
posed to help the schools as much as
their very limited resources will
permit.

AN ANCIENT ART.
Ante.Mortem Trepannlng by Prehls-
torlc Americans.

Ante.Mortem Trepannlng by Prehis-
torIc Americans.
The antiquity of most Of the arts
of civilization on this continent is
being steadily established. It now
appears that the clever old Peru
yians were adopts in surgery not
less than In agriculture and engin-
eering, and had a distinct knack In
skillful trepanning. The Muniz col
lection of skulls, now in possession
of the bureau of American ethnol-
ogy exhibits many specimens OF
ante-mortem trepanning far superior
to anything else before observed
among other aborigines of the new
world. In some instances the in
cisions are narrow, long and
straight, usually at right angles.
The cutting might have been made
with an arrow point held vertically
and drawn backward and forward,
making a taper incision. In other
instances the direction of the cutting
was completely changed, so as to
saw an elliptical piece out of the
skull, the rough tool marks after
wards scraped smooth. Yet again
in other examples the entire process
appears to have been effected by
scraping, the aperture being circu-
lar. It is evident, however, that
once in awhile the operations were
post-mortem, as not even an aborig-
inal of low-grade sensitiveness could
have as many as twenty disks cut
out OF his skull and live through the
ordeal. What became Of the disks
is not known; they may have served
either as trophies or as charms.
One of the skulls, doubtless that of
young woman, had been subjected
to successive operations to relieve
epilepsy, or like trouble, and at last
there was o large openlng-four
inches long by an inch wide. This
hole was covered by silver plate,
and the plate was found in the mum
nv case with the remains. It Is not
denied that the operations may often
have been dictated by desire for
the expulsion or release OF evil spir-
it's; but there are all the indications
that intelligent surgery presided
over attempts to remedy cranial
fractures and cure or alleviate GER
tain diseases of the brain.

the Fugitive.
The following, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal, Is part of a letter from
o former Indianapolitan, the wife Of
an army officer who is stationed at
Fort Apache, A. T., and 1t gives
some idea Of army life as it is found
in those remote regions: 'The cap
tain, her husband, is away on prac-
tice march. He has been prepared
to leave on an hours notice since the
middle Of July. He only takes, for
his company, fifteen days rations,
so he may not be gone so very long.
An Apache Indian named Kid
murdered another eight years ago or
so. He was captured, tried and
sentenced to Yuma. Or the way to
prison he killed the sheriff and two
assistants and escaped, and they
have been trying to catch him ever
since.
''He makes Mexico his head
quarters, but stirs US up every little
while by a raid, by stealing girl or
two and slaughtering somebody. He
was reported near here few, days
ago; so three troops of cavalry are
out, in detachments, securing the
country for him. The captain, un-
der orders to march east to Mount
Ord for the annual encampment,
was suddenly sent west in order to
establish supply camp for cavalry.
Kid is probably in Mexico by now,
but be could lead them a merry
chase were he in the neighborhood.
''H.e could stand behind rock or
cactus within q stones throw Of
the whole regiment Of cavalry seek
ing him and laugh their efforts to
scorn, or he could run his pony till
1t dropped, seized another-the
whole Of Arizona is his livery stable
-or, If no other was convenient, he
could without troubling himself in
the least, walk seventy-fve miles In
twenty-four hours, which Is more
than a cavalry horse can do, to say
nothing of o white man. These In
dians are wonderful.

man and his wife made eighty miles

scoop out sand in places known but

It's vicinity. They live on the wild
beans and certain roots which they
dig, and so@do not have to carry
food, cooking utensils or betray
themselves by a fire. A cavalry
horse has to carry the rider, carbine,
ammunition, blankets, overcoats,
canteens, cooking utensils and ra-
tions; then another has to go along
to carry forags for the horse. In

Singularly enough, iridium, though a
metal of such comparative rarity, is said
to be a source of no small trouble in the
operations Of our minis, on account of
the difficulty experienced there in sepa-
rating it from gold bullion. Practically,
as is well known, this metal is utilized
to some extent for making instruments
