THEFT OF THE
GOLDEN SCALE.
DY CLARENCE LUDLOW BRowNELL.

Ohashi Kintaro was gazing into
his sake cup rehectively. 1t was a
cup with pictures on 1.-TWO views
of the same subject. The front pres
entation on the inside of the cup, and
the other on the bottom. y cup such
as you have sometimes when cooling
on the dry bed Of the Kamogawa in
Kioyta, if you happen to be on good
terms with those who serve you, but
which you never leave with your 9TH
er curios for custom house inspection
on reaching home.
'That inside picture seems to in
terest you,' said Gardner. DO you
recognize the face?'
"The countenance resembles that
Of Daredesuka's sweetheart, but l
never saw it on a sake cup before" re-
piled Ohashi.
"Daredesuka:"
Yes, the man who tried to steal
the gold from the shachi hoka on the
tenshu in Nagoya."
"The which on the what?"
''The great gold dolphins on the
ends of the ridge of Nagoya castle.
Gen. Kato Kiyomasa put them up
there nearly 800 years ago, quite
out of harms way, you would think"
Eyes, | remember you pointed out
the fish little before we reached
Nagoya station on our way through,
but tell US about Daredesuka and his
sweetheart. What did they do?"
"Daredesuka was a sumural who
had been with the daimiyo of Kaga
once, and had won fame as a great
swordsman. But when the daimiyo
died Daredesuka became ronin. That
is a samural without a master. He
went about teaching fencing and
sometimes winning prizes in contests
before distinguished folk, but never
getting established anywhere. He
was too fond of roaming. He used to
practice with his sword on all the
forked limbs of trees that he could
reach and also on the wild dogs that
are as dangerous as wolves on the
West Coast roads. 1t is said that
once when robbers tried to take him
he cut through two bodies with a sim
gle stroke, and that the other robbers,
seeing this, ran away crying that ne
was an Oni (demon), not man.
''In time he came to Kiyoto, which
was large city then and was the home
of the Tenshi, our emperor, The
Shotgun lived in Yeddo-this was
long time before the name was
changed to Toxic. Soon after
Daredesuka arrived the Shotgun
came down to Kiyoto to see the Ten
shi. He had to come once year ac-
cording to ancient custom. Ofcourse
this meant great deal of prepare
ton. The ceremonies were elabo-
rate, and the court mobiles, who usu-
ally were poor, made money by teach
ing the proper etiquette to the Sho-
guns officers. Geisha were busy in
all the tea houses, and gathered gold
pieces enough to last them a whole
month, which is long time when
speaking of geisha. There were all !
sorts of sport, too-polo, archery or
horseback fencing and jiujutsu, which
is kind of wrestling.
'Dare6esuka was the right kind Of
man for such time. lie went into
many contests, and won so often that
people talked about him in the !

On Japanese Copper Mines.

The total number Of persons employ
ed in various services at the Ashio
mines and furnaces Is about 10000, and
these with their families make up a
small city of 1900. OF these IS per
cent have been born on the spot, as
We're their fathers and grandfathers,
and some have never seen beyond the
red hills which close In the village and
mines. They are cared for by the pro-
prietor, fed and sent to school until
twelve years Of age.
The village has well-equipped hos
pital, at which the operatives and their
families are tended without charge.
Only men are employed below ground
to dig the ore, working in shifts Of
eight hours each, while those employed
at lighter labor work shifts Of twelve
hours Women are employed at the
light tasks, such as sorting and wash
ing ore by hand, most of them being
the wives Of the miners. The average
pay per diem for those engaged in
manual labor, says a writer in Engi-
neering Is 13 cents in silver money
and stated quantity of rice and fuel,
while the miners are paid by the guam
tity of ore extracted. The furnace and
shaft men receive from II to 30 cents
per day and the women are paid 7
cents

There Is a new wonder every day.
In the Bible the miracles number less
than hundred. The modern miracles
run into the thousands overnight-the
miracles of science, invention, COM
merce and enterprise. In the new part
of the old world greater records are
mounting on big achievements. In the
old part of the old world modernity is
playing grotesque tricks with history
and making contrasts that provoke
even the serious to merriment. Fancy,
for instance, Diogenes sitting in his tub
watching a trolley car so by and look
Ing for an honest man, only to hear the
conductor ring up a drachma fare on Il
mechanical contrivance to protect him
from temptation.
