Japan Once Joined to China.

Japan consists of a group of ''festoon
Islands," forming a long curve. with it's
cOncavity toward the mainland, and
many of their peculiartics are due to
their upheaval by subterranean forces,
of which they are still one of the most
active seats. They were undoubtedly
connected with China and with the
land to the north of this nt no very re-
mote period, gcologically speaking, and
therefore, like Great Britain and Ire
land, are scientifically classified as re
cent continental islands," The proofs
Of this are twofold-first, they are CON
ncCted with Asia by Il submarine bank
less than hundred fathoms beneath
the surface. and this is believed to be,
as in all such cases, Il submerged land
tract; second, the animals of Japan are
closely similar to those of China, the
only plausible explanation of this being
that formerly there was a land connec-
ton

Queer Japanese Custom.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot When
ever robbery is committed the ruler
Of the hamleI Summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip Of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the lar
gest number Of ballots is declared duly
elected and is accordingly hanged.
This system, like all others, has its pc
culiar advantages. 1t insurcs the pun
ishment of somebody for every robbery
committed. whereas under the system
in vogue in most civilized countries in
nine cases out Of ten no punishment is
inflicted on anybody for the crime OF
course they may not "clect" the guilty
person, but dispose Of some other char
acter equally bad.

The January Magazines.

THE Cosmopolitan (Irvington, N.
Y.,) for January is a fine fiction mum
Der aside from the other valuable
features. The fiction writer's are Hen
ry Seton Merrimann (who continues
his serial of 'Barlasch of the Guard") },
Wingrove BathOn, Herbert d. Ward,
George Hibbard and Tom Mason, in
the descriptive there are "Paris, City
of Beautiful Women," by Vance
Thompson; "Roman Games" by Vim
cenZo FiOrentinO; "rhe Music of
Nature" by Helen Lukens Jones ;
"FOreign Fire-fghters," by Fritz
Morris; Romance of the Worlds
Great Mines, by Samuel E. Moffett,
'The Young Mans Choice of Pro-
fession," by John 3risban Walker;
National Aid to Road Improvement" "
by Walter p. BrOwnlow; and "Pier-
pont Morgan, His Advisers and His
Organization, by Mr.. Walker. Then
there is a continuance of Mankind in
the Making" by Herbert George
Wells, and the first part of 'The
Young Napoleon, The Genesis of a
Great Career" by Field-Marshall Wis
count WOlsely, X. z, which promises
to be valuable bit of historical work.
The ReUietOof ReUietOs New York,
for January is an admirable number
for the beginning of the year. 1t is
significant that three of the articles
have to do with the deaths of men who
were known to fame in as many diff
ferent aspects. Thomas Mast, the
artist, is the subject of a sketch by
Ernest KDaufft, and several specimens
Of Nast's cartoons are given. Then
tine late Thomas B. Reed is the sub
ject of a paper by Henry B. f. Mac
farland. The third paper of this des-
criptiOn is one on the late Friedrich
Alfred Krupp, the Essen Philan-
thrOpist" and gun maker by Elizabeth
Weber Garden, with another article
on ''The Krupps and Their Steel
Works at ESSEN" by r, H. Knorr.
In the direction personal is a character
sketch Of Herbert w. Bowen, the
American minister to Venezuela, who
has shown himself an able diplomat at
a trying time. Other articles, all of
interest, are: "The Rural Free De-
livery Service" by Day Allen Wiley;
"The American Ok and His Pasture, "
by E. Benjamin Andrews; ''The
Treasury and the Money Market, :"
by Charles A. Conant, and "The
British Education Bill" by W. T.

London Theaters of Long Ago.


A writer in London Truth says that
in the early part of the eighteenth CEN
fury the London theaters opened at
o'clock, and as it was therefore diff
cult for playgOers to arrive punctua!ly
and obtain seats many of them sent
fOOtmen or hired men from the streets
to secure places for them. These sat in
the seats until those who had sent them
came, and the custom prevailed until
1866, when the system now in force
was adopted. a foOtman used to be
sent early to take places and keep
them by the simple but effectual plan
of sitting on them till his masters and
mistresses arrived. Such Il practice
would now be considered an intOlerable
nuisance, but people in those days were
much less particular, and appear to
have thought nothing of sitting for an
act or two cheek by jOwl with Il fun
ky or, worse, with a vagabond picked
up in the street" An alluSiOn to the Gus
tom occurs in Fielding's Miss Lucy In
Town." act l, scene ,. and Pepys in
his DIARY" occasionally mentions hav-
ing hired boy in the streets to occupy
a seat for him.

Different Version oa it.

New York, Sept. 16.-Michael Donovan, a stevedore, was shot and killed, John Carol, driver. probably was fatally wounded, and several others were badly hurt during a fierce fight early today be- tween the police and an East Side gang of toughs.
 Donovan was found dying in Bow cry drug store by policeman. On his death bed he refused to reveal the name of his assailant, saying that he would fix him" when he got out of the hos- pital. An hour later he died. Four men were arrested and according to the police one of them is Monk Eastman" They claim 1t was a meeting of the members of the Paul Kelly" men and the Monk Eastman" gang that started the trouble in which policemen were shot at and for which the reserves of three police stations had to be called out
 The police believe the trouble started over the shooting of David Benstein, an East Side saloonkeeper, some months ago Several men were arrested for the shooting at the time, and accused and accuser were equally non-Committal. all saving they would "get square, in their own way at some future date.

It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacturers in which it failed to effect a cure.
