CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
Surly Cable Conductor Taught a Lesson
by Portly Passenger.

tor of most surly and disagreeable tenn
per. When a woman carrying altogether
too large bundle for her strength board
ell the car he grumbled n running five
minutes straight about the perversity of
human nature in general and of the fem
mime sex particular. \ few moments be-
fore he had viciously kicked at newsboy
who dared stand on the platform while
selling newspaper. AT Adams street
portly military gentleman and mis- wife
got on the car.
THAT is the smallest l have said the
military gentleman rs lie rendered a So
bill for fare.
The conductor growled again and
grumbled inaudibly, but finally dug into
his pockets for the change. First he
gave two silver dollars, then 90 cents-all
in dimcs-and then the balance in quar-
tiers. He seemed in exceedingly great
| hurry as he handed the quarters to his
passenger. The other passengers noticed

Now, it so happened that in the change
made verybad quarter was given. The

| nine instead of eight quarters That de-
cided him to hold his peace; he wasn't

came back again.

plainly insinuated: "Well, you're a nice
fellow to try and beat n poor conductor. I"
The military looking gentleman looked

AS PACKING.
Why japanese Toothpicks and Fans Are
Cheap.

1t has often been matter of wonder
that the Japanese manufactures, such ms
toothpcks and fans, could be sold mt
such low prices. The small fans are sold
at n cent apiece, while the dainty little
toothpicks command the same price ner
bundle.
When one examines either of these nro-
ducts and speculates upon the amount
of labor that must lie spent to make them
in any quantity, the natural inference is
that the wcll.known smallness of Jana
ncse wages contains the explanation. At
II first glance this seems to DO the natu-
raj explanation. Such skilled workers
as watchmakers get but n trifle more
than "a dollar II week for their services.
and the less skilled and more mechanical
trades command Il pittance that to our
western ideas seems incredibly small.
But small as the wages of the Japanese
workers may be, there are considerations
that indicate at once that some other
cause must be found. There is n duty
on both the articles mentioned, and i'm
addition to this it must be remembered
that Japan is far away, and that, in the
natural course, freights would give n
considerable price in this market to arti-
Giles that were entirely without cost in
the Orient.
81 Vlslt TO several Japanese importing
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 imports of the con.
Germs called upon, require the most care
full packing, lest on their long journey
they come to grief; and here is where
the toothpicks and fans not only work
their passages, but legally escape duty.
Packed in and around the vases are many
thousand of these articles, and by this
use they lose their character as 'merchan-
disc and becomes merely so much '.pack-
ing. "-Jeweler's Review
