There is a crazy negro woman on the
AlaZan creek, near West End, who is
annoying Ine residents and frightening
women and children by calling at the
houses and demanding money and
clothes and something to eat, and at
the same time insisting on preaching
and praying for them. She says she
has got Religion" and imagines she
has got religion" and imagines she
Jesus, but says she is only staying on
this wicked earth because she wants
to warn the sinners to be good, while
the Lord is building her home in the
Skies

HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.

A COMMUNICATING gentleman, with
hayseed in his whiskers, coming into
town last night about nine o'clock.
when near the Martinez creek, sat
down upon the rails of the West End
line to rest his marrow bones. He fell
asleep, across the track, and but for
the watchful, eagle eye of Motorman
Sam" this jay might have been sing
ing with the angels today. The place
was quite dark and the motorman dis
covered the man only just in time to
stop the car about three feet from
where he lay.
Sam roundly abused the sleeper fol
making his bed on the roadway, and
then pulled back the electric throttle
and proceeded to complete the
trip on the regular hourly schedule.

authority says, who has been making
some recent experiments on the source
Of muscular exertion. He administered
a liquid containing 80 grains of sugar
TO a person who had heavy dailywork to
do. and who was keptinignoranceofthe
nature of the experiment being tried
upon him. On the days when the sugar
was omitted, it was observed that the
laborer was unable to accomplish so
much work and that he had less ease in
doing it than on the days when he ate
the sugar. It is said by some that's per-
son who habitually eats sweets has
great muscular endurance.

JAPANESE WAYS.

An American manufacturer. writing from Japan, says that those alarniists who would make the world believe that the Japanese can do everything don't know what they are talking about. and that the people of the Flowery Land. unless they change their entire nature, or at all events, their methods. can never become fnr- midable commercial rivals with any civilized power. The real fact is that the Japanese do nothing; they only half do 1t. and therein lies the cause of their failure. The Jap thinks of nothing but the present; of what he can make now. and how by making his commodities little inferior he can add . few more cents to his profit. If he has to pay more fnr his labor. the idea of economy. or the bold declara- tion that he can no longer sell st the original price never strikes him. but he expends the whole of his ingenuity in trying to diminish the quality with out any loss in the appearance. There is no such thing as standard quality you are asked to pay for. So much Is this so in Japan. that man seldom buys an article wi,hout unwrapping and examining it on ths spot.
 The correspondent continues: 1.-The Japanese mind is SO small that it is difficult to weigh it with American scales; in fact. it may be said that it is made of trifies. and it Is the aiteu- tion. the laborrd attention the Jap gives to those trinrs which makes him Incapable of ever becoming anything more than unit m whatever be may b. concerned in. As an illustration ot what mean, will give examples which are of daily occurrence. You want to buy an article, and you ask how much t is. The answer is. say. l cent. Then you ask how much the articles are by the dozen. fully expect ing that you will get them for 10 cents. Y~u are not litile amazed when the merchant tells you IS cents per dozen. You get mad. call the man f~l. and insist that you ought to get reduction by taking . quanti- ty. Not so with ihe Jap; that is mt his way of doing business. If you take one. he reasons, that Is cent. but if you take dozen, he will have to count them. and then it will be IS cents. It is the same win the manu- fac.urer. You give him an order for hundred of . kind. and then wish to make 1t a thousand. Immediately he demands an advance in the price. Should he, however. reluctantly agree to take the increased order at the orig final price. you will prooably get the first hundred articles fairly up to sam- pie. but as the delivery g''es on the quality is sure to fall of. And this smallness Is not confined to small peo- pie. 1t permeates the whole country. and one of tho leading banks adver- tlses that It allows 4.SS5 per cent. in- terest on current accounts and 6.ll5 per cent on sav,ngs hank deposits" {"
