Sad but True.

Yesterday The .Virginian's scribe got
ON the naVy-yard car, on which there
We're some twelve or more strange
ladies. who were en- route to the navy
yard. They asked the scribe to tell
them where they could get a dinner
when they returned from the yard. He
told them of restaurant run
on the European plan and that they
could order what they wanted but they
said they did not care to lose SO much
time In waiting, as they wanted to see
as much as possible in day He then
recommended them to=tsfe restaurant in
the Union depot; but they felt a delicacy
about going there. But on being as
snred that ladies ate there, arrange
ments were made for a meal. In furth-
er conversation they asked II the num-
Der Of inhabitants Of the city, and when
told 10000 they all broke OUT in 6 hearty
laugh. A city Of 10000 people and no
hotel! Then they wanted to know If the
rickety. broken down horse cars were
a specimen of the push and energy Of
the people. IT So" said one. they
must be mighty slow" This is how
others see us. 1t Is sad, but too true.

NOVEL IMPORTATION METHODS.

How 1t Happens That japanese Fans and
Toothpicks Are So Cheap.
It has often been matter of wonder
that japanese manufacture, such as
toothpieks and fans, could be sold at
such low prices. The small fans are sold
at a8eent apiece, while the. dainty little
toothpieks command the same price per
bundle
When one examines either of these
products and specnlates upon the
amount of labor that must be spent
to make them in any quantity, the nat
ural inference is that the wel1-knoWn
srnalIness of Japanese wages contains
the explanation. AT first glance this
seems to be. the natural explanation.
Such skilled workers as watchmakers
get but a triffe more than dollar a
week for their services. and the less
skilled and more mechanical trades
command pittance that to our west
ern ideas seems incredibly small.
But small as the wages of the japanese
worker may be, there are considerations
that indicate at once that some other
cause must be found. There is q duty
on both the articles mentioned, and in
addition to this it must be remembered
that Japan is a good piece away, and
that, in the natural course, freights
would give a considerab BILE price IN this
market to articles that were entirely
without cost in the orient.
Il A visit to several japanese import
ing houses, which deal exclusively IN
fine Satsuma and other native wares
and IN japanese curios, revealed the
secret Of the prices at which the small
wares could be offered here. The large
vases, which form the staple import
of the concerns called upon, require the
most careful packing, lest on their long
journey they come to. grief; and here
is where the toothpicks and fans not
only work their passage, but legally
escape duty. Packed in and around The
vases are many thousands of these
articles, and by this use they lose their
character as merchandise aud become
merely 50 much packing. Jewelers.
