A SUGGESTION.

The recent futter over Schedule f
in the tax returns is an illustration of
the carelessness with which legisla-
ton is looked upon by the average
outsider, and in this case by men
above the average and who have their
minds sharpened by keen competition
in business. Schedule E was duly dis
cussed when the bill was passed in the
last Legislature, and apparently no
one took interest enough in the mat
ter to see what it's bearings really
were. Now it comes before the mer-
chants somewhat in the nature of a
thunderbolt
A suggestion made by prominent
business man in regard to such met
tiers is well worth consideration by
other business men of the community.
merchant is often too much engage
ed with his own affairs to watch care
fully the course of legislation. He
cannot follow up amendment after

bill, as it passes from one house to
another, getting a change here and
change there till in the
end its own father would not
know tit, as was the case with
several bill in the last Legislature
dealing with reforms in the method
of levying revenue. Some sections
were certainly passed by way of ex-
pertinent to see how they would
work
The suggestion alluded to above is
that the merchants of the city should
engage a lawyer to watch over their
especial interests and report upon the
bearing of a bill. In this way any
point which they regard as inimicnl
to their interests would readily be
detected and could be met and fought
at once. There would then be no bolt
from the blue, as it were, as has hap
pened in this case. eThe suggestion is
good one and should be acted upon.

THE SPREAD OF JAPAN.

In an article published in the Bulle-
tin of the Society of Commercial
Geography in Paris contains some in
terestng information with regard to
the increase of population in Japan,
and also throws light upon the direc-
ton in which Japanese immigration
is setting.
The increase of population is taken
from Japanese official sources and eX-
tends back as far as 610 of our era.
At that period the population was
4,9SS,S42. From 1928 to 1915 it fluctu
ated between 26,OOO,OO0 and 100000 900,
sometimes advancing and sometimes
retrograding a few hundred thousand.
In 1872 regular census bureau was
established, and from that time there
has been steady increase, commence
ing with SO, 110,S25 at that date. In
1850 there were 35,929,O6O; in 1891,
40,71S,677, and its present population,
based on careful calculation, for the
figures of the census of 1894 and '9j
are not yet to hand, is estimated at
45,OO0,OOO this includes 100000 for
the island of Fomosa. Comparing
these figures with those of some of the
foremost countries of the world, some
interesting facts come forth. The
population of Japan is 100000 great
er than France; 4,416,000 less than
Germany, and 100000 greater than
England proper, i. e., not including
Scotland and Ireland. In point of
population Japan stands fifth on the
worlds list. Classed as to her reve-
nues and her military and naval re-
sources, Japan stands tenth. At this
rate of progress, it will not be long
before Japan rises in the latter list.
The directions in which Japanese
emigration has set and its great in
crease during the last four years, is
also remarkable, of course. Accord
ing to official figures kept in Japan,
from 1885 to 1889, 1907 japanese left
the Empire to seek work elsewhere;
emigrated. Since then the increase
has been very rapid. OF this emigra-
ton the chief part came to the Ha
waiian islands. The total number of
emigrants to Hawaii up to 1896 was
estimated at $4,000; but, as we know
here, large number have returned,
and we have now somewhat over &c.
600 on the islands.
The rapid increase of emigration in
other directions is very noticeable.
Taking the same sets of four years,
Corea sprang from GIG to 1890; to the
United States from 7S7 to
37S9; to Siberia from 412 to
1858; to Australia from 6S to
2037, and to Canada from nothing
to 1716. All this shews an activity
and push which far exceeds any other
nation in the Pacific. In the three
years since the figures were made up
the increase of emigration has been
still larger. In Siberia the japanese
are used as laborers on the railroad,
over 1000, of them being engaged in
that work. The eighth section of the
railroad was built entirely by Japan
csc, and they gave thorough satisfac-
ton. They are not allowed to settle
i'm Siberia, however, and as their time
is out, each detachment is sent back
to Japan. A nation as active as this,
with representatives in every part of
this ocean and its coasts, is undoubt-
eddy going to leave large mark upon
its historical records and to have
large influence upon its destinias.

The Neighborliness of Neighbors.

@>OA6AOoAAAASSS VA 1>OA6AAOoASs
Talking about neighbors-peopleg gen.
orally do, you know-quite good story
turned up the other day. Whether OF
not it is true must he left to the reader,
but certainly it not inaptly illustrates a
rather too common weakness Of these
frequently too distant near ones.
An old lady who had recently moved
into a fashionable locality with her two
daughters was somewhat aggrieved at
her distinguished neighbors not calling.
In truth, only seven of them did So
one to inquire as to the character of a
former servant and the other six to Sc
cure subscriptions for various charitable
institutions. -. .*>
Under such circumstances the de-
lights of social life were somewhat cur
tailed. Whether or not this went to the
old lady's heart cannot be said, but GER.
tain it is that in few short weeks she
was dead. The neighbors focked to the
funeral. The rooms were crowded All
was pity, love and sympathy. In the
middle of it all the old lady sat up and
said it did her good to see SO many kin6
faces about, while the two daughters
handed around coffee and ices, the guests
finally departing in the funeral car
riages. brooklyn Life

Miss Noah.

The scholar should know his text
books, else he may have the mortifica-
tion of being outmatched in his own
specially by a layman, as in this story
from an exchanged: ~
A child was brought to Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told that
the name was to be Noah he naturally
referred to the infant as ''he'' in the
course of the service. Soon he felt his
surplice pulled by one of the women,
who whispered to him that it was a
lass. = ~ '.
"But Noah is not girls name, -
said the parsOn. -1g'
"Yes, it is, spoke up the child's ia
ther. f.. vi
An adjournment was made to the
vestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had child to be
named he opened the Bible and chose
the first name of the proper sex that
met his eye The clergyman insisted
that in the present case mistake had
been made, whereupon the father opened
the Bible at Numbers XVI, S3, and
read, Tho names of the daughters of
Zelophehad were Noah,'' ETC.
There was no more to be said.

The Tent Business In Winter.

Winter is dull season in the tent
business in this latitude and devoted
chiefly to making up stock for summer.
Some tents are exported, though not a
great number. They are sent to Mexico.
Central America and the West Indies.
Such tents are sold the year around.
They are used as quarters for laborers
on railroads, canals and other works.
The few tents sold in winter for use
in this region are sold mostly to gyp-
sizes, who buy in winter for summer use.
They buy usually secondhand tents,
and, buying in winter, they get good
tents cheap. But little is done in rent
ing tents in winter, though occasionally
a large tent is rented for cornerstone
laying or some public ceremony, and in
these modern days such tents are some
time steam heated, the pipes being sup:
piled with steam from portable boilers.

A Story of Beaconsfield.

Lord Beaconsfeld was in theory a
female sutfragist. But his Irritation was
of very platonic character, for. al
though he had often the power to give
practical effect to his pious opinion, he
took care never to do so. Once the oppo-
sition leaders were very anxious to find
out what course he intended to pursue in
regard to certain matter. They turned
loose upon him we'll known political
beauty. She talked and talked, he gazed
and gazed. At length she asked him.
He pressed her hand, looked unutterab1e
admiration and observed, Pretty dar-
ing!" I remember how my admiration
for Lord Beaconsfeld rose when I first
heard this tale. - London Truth.

Spartan Severity Ian1eA Philip Gilbert
Hamerton In His Childhood.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhood, the victim Of severe
land cruel discipline. His father was a
imam Of ungovernable tempersand irregu-
lar life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles and whose only idea of
educating a boy was to make man Of
him.
His method Of teaching the lad to
ride was to company him on vicious
black horse, and when little Philip erred
in any Of the observances Of good riders
to punish him with his heavy hunting
whip. The whip had a steel hammer at
the end Of a long handle. and if at any
time THE owner fancied that the child
was turning out his toes he would not
say anything, but with cruel dexterity
deal him a blow on the foot, sharp
enough to make him writhe with pain.
Z Yet this Spartan severity had its val
liable side. The elder Hamerton under
stood the importance Of concentration,
and if he saw the boy occupied with
several books would say:
Take one of those books and read it
steadily. Don't potter and play with
half dozen. -
= What he hated most was a lie or the
shadow Of lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes
punished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumbbells 10 minutes ev-
cry morning. This exercise was taken
in the garden, but before beginning he
always looked at the clock in the sitting
room. One day the father met him and
asked:

The hand stood at 10 minutes past II,
and though the boy protested that he
had begun at ten minutes before the
hour the additional lie' put his father
in fury, and he was ordered to prac-
tice continually for two hours. And,
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 100 minutes
were over, not one Of them was remit
