The producing power of Japanese

labor problem OF Japan which the

it very convenient not to allude to.
To get at the producing power of

also arise, and its Importance can

AMERICA NEED HAVE NO FEAR

The American working men need
have no fear Of competition with
their Japanese fellow-workers, nor
need the people of the United States
interested in trade pursuits regard
with apprehension the possibility of
American capital seeking investment
here in Japan, upon the coming into
effect OF the lately revised treaties.
1t is said that American and other
foreign capital can and will be in
vested advantageously in Japan, and
that industries will be built up here,
under foreign supervision, for the
production, with what is termed
Japanese cheap labor, of commo-
dities that may be brought into
competition with home productions,
in the nations OF Europe and the
United States. Under the laws of
Japan foreigners. cannot hold real
estate in fee nor will they be per
mitted to hold land by what is
known as perpetual lease, except
where such leases are running when
the treaties become operative. The
term Of leasehold will not be greater
than twenty five years, and the rents
and charges exacted will be such
that the in vestment Of capital here
for mercantile and industrial pur-
poses will be proitless.

The couple were married as slaves nearly 40 years ago and after the promulgation of the emancipation proc. lamation they were again married &C., cording to the laws of Virginia. But the papers in this union were lost in fire. This fact was painfully brought home to MT. and Mrs. Carter by late decision of the supreme court which holds that slave marriages are not recognized as legal by the inheritance laws of Illinoic. As they have children and property they concluded to make everything safe and were therefore welded the third time.

PLEASED AFRICANS.
The Natives Were Highly Entertained by
Hand Organ.

/
Capt Becker, Belgian explorer in
Africa, and an official of the Congo
Free State, understands the negro char
acter very well, and has hit upon n
pleasant and effective means of infl,l-
encing the natives He caused to be
imported from Europe q good and loud
hand-organ, and played it before the
blacks. He even allowed some of the
most trusty of the blacks themselves
| to turn the crank.
The natives were wild with delight
They gathered from far and near to
hear the new machine. They regarded
it as something supernatural, but not
to be dreaded or feared-as something
to be venerated instead.
To change barbarous habits, Capt
Becker has encouraged the celebration
of Christian marriages among the ma
tives; and as they were somewhat
averse to this civilized procedure, he
announced that the hand-organ should
be played at every Christian marriage,
rs compliment to the bride and
groom.
AS soon as this announcement was
made, the bridal couples began to ar
rive at the station in considerable num-
bers. Scarcely day passed without a
wedding. Before long all the native
men of marriageable age were lawfully
married, and by this means were
brought to some extent within the
range of civilizing influences.
Indeed, the marriages increased to
such an extent that Capt. Becker be-
gan to suspect that some of his couples
were being married the second time.
This was the case; and precautions had
to be taken to prevent this sort of
trifling with a sacred ceremony.
The hand-organ is used for certain
other important ceremonies; but the
| captain takes care that it is not brought
outso often as to permit of the negroes
growing too familiar with it. If this
were permitted it would lose its charm
and extraordinary influence.
There is one air in particular with
which the blacks are especially de-
| lighted. 1t is an air from the opera of
LA Traviata," by Verdi. They listen
to this as if their senses were en-
thralled and their souls uplifted. They
seem to show in this genuine musical
sense, for the music of ia Traviata'
is of the purest and most beautiful sort.
On all ordinary OCCASIONS this cher
tshed tune is skipped" by the astute
operator of the hand-organ, and re-
served for the special qualification of
the people at the most solemn cere-
monies.
1t is not improbable that this instru-
ment, of a kind deemed tedious and OBJ
jcctionable in civilized countries, may
exert most beneficent influence in
barbarous Africa.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
