Ne.D covernnenf m Japan.


It is only about two months since
the present Japanese cabinet was form
ed, and already one of its members,
Toru Hoshi. minister of communica-
ton, has resigned. 1t is limited also
that the resignation may hasten the
overflow of the cabinet as whole.
though the reasons for 1t seem to have
been personal rather than political, the
minister having become involved in
certain financial scandals.
Japanese cabinets never have been
long-liyed. There have been nine or
them since 1885. with an average ten
ure of office of only twenty months.
That is not SO bad. however. consider
ing that the government has been all
this time an experiment and that po-
litical parties are only imperfectly de-
veloped as yet. The principal force
in the direction of affairs aside from
the crown has been that OF the old
clan leaders, and the opposition has
been generally represented by two sep
arate organizations. the progressists
and the liberals. In 1898 they man
aged to overcome their mutual distrust
SO far as to form both coalition and
ministry, but the latter was short
lived. II lasted just four months. and
then there was a reaction which
brought in the cabinet OF the Marquis
Yamagata, which continued In office
until October OF this year. or during
term of twenty-five months.

sHoPPINo IN PARIS.
Purchase Money Returned for Cut
Lengths of Cloth.


In one matter all the greater Paris
emporiums have made curious rule.
and one which does not tend to make
them popular with Paris husbands and
fathers of families. While Insisting
vigorously on the ready-money princi-
pie, they yet will return the full price
in exchange for any goods, whether
consisting OF a cut length OF silk or
satin, costly piece of furniture. or
even of such perishable items as Kid
gloves, artificial flowers and ribbons,
and this however long a period may
have elapsed between their purchase
and their return. OF course 1t is un-
derstood that the object, whatever 1t
may be. has not been worn or used In
any way, but even so, the fact that
each purchase is. as 1t were, only taken
on approval tempts many foolish
women to invest in more things than
they would otherwise do. Some French
women have developed quite mania
for thus temporarily acquiring the
loan, as 1t were. of hat or mantle,
and every great shop has a black list
OF ladies to whom goods are not sold
on these terms. Still, It is quite COM
mon to hear Parisenne observe dur
ing the course of an afternoon call:
Yes, the - is a very obliging shop:
I kept dress length of silk by me for
two years. and then, having no use for
1t, took 1t back to my surprise they

Spanish Kid and Goatskins Exported
to United States.

Several kinds of sheep are bred In
Spain, but the most valuable, on ac-
count of the excellent quality of the
skins, are those found in the provinces
OF Murcia and Catalonia and in the
district of La Mancha, in New CASTLE;
also those in the province of Extrema-
dura, which, however, are esteemed
more for their fine wool than for the
pelt. The finer the wool the poorer the
skin for tanning purposes. In Estre-
madura the celebrated Merino sheep
are bred. Merino wool was at one
time considered the finest obtainable
in Europe, but like many other nat
ural sources of wealth in Spain, sheep
farming has suffered from lack of en-
terprise and energy. The skin of the
Estremadura sheep is unsuitable for
gloves and can be used only for in
ferior articles. Spanish sheep are
white, excepting those of La Mancha,
which are black. The skin of the
lamb is used for making gloves and is
classified into "firsts" and seconds. /"
according to the fineness of the grain
and the number of defects in the skin.
In Millau and st. Julien, in France, in
feovil, in England, and also in several
parts of Germany are large tanneries
devoted to the preparation of the skins
exported fr9m Murcia, Catalonia and
La Mancha. These tanneries, either
directly or through commission firms,
send large proportion of their output
to the United States, which is an i'm
portant market for glove skins. When
the animal is more fully grown, its
skin can no longer be used for making

ri Jury nusr BE Unanimoa4


Colorado has a provision In its con-
sti,ution allowing jury In civil case
to consist OF less than twelve men.
Under this provision the last lcgisln-
turc enacted law declaring that nine
men on jury of twelve would be sum
cicnt TO render n verdict The Colo
RADIO supreme court has now declared
this law to be unconstitutional and
void. and II is probable that ali cases
decided by jurles impaneled under this
law will have to be retired. The point
made by the court is that a Jury must
be unanimous. When the constitution
placed no restriction on the power OF
the legislature to provide for Jurics OF
less than twelve members II did not
lay aside tho old common law idea
that demands unanimity in jury's
verdict. Thus. while the Colorado leg
islature can coDstltutionnlly make nine
men sufficient for jury. II cannot au-
thorize nine members In Jury of
