SHOPS IN JAPAN.
The Floors Are the Counters and
SuuattinG Places of Buyers.


To start a japanese shop is the sim
plest tkiils in the world. You take the
front off your house and arrange your
worldly possessions on the floor.
Japanese floors are raised off the
street though nothing is raised off
them. The transient customer sits on
the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A
real shopper who means to do the
thing properly climbs up on the floor
which is also the counter. and squats
on his heels.
Real Japanese shops have no doors
or windows or counters. Shop windows
in England do not leave much wall in
the frontage, but even an English shon
window does not take tue whole fTO.s
of the house.
The Japanese have not many regular
shops. There are very few streets of
shops even in Tokyo. which is as large
as Berlin. Foreigners never buy any
thing but curios. If they are fools.
they deal with shops kept by Euro
peans; if they want bargains. they deal
with Cinnamon.
There are many Chinese shops in
treaty ports. The Chinaman is cheaper
and more reliable than the japanese.
European shopkeepers do not set up in
Japan for philanthropic reasons. Jap
anese shopkeepers are the lowest class
Of population except the outcasts.
Servants and laborers take precedence
Of them in society, and precedence is
the hobby of the japanese.
You have different bow and a diff
ferent salutation for a man who is be-
low you or your equal. and several for
the people above you. You have even
a different language for each. and Jap
anese writing wriggles like carving on
their temples.-London Standard.

Positions through the study of the
classirs-i. .. the Sacred Writings Of
Ccnfucius." rue Confucia nist temples
are protected and honored by the state,
ard the worship of Confucius is carried
Oh at the expense of the state. In a
simited sense, too, Buddhism can also
claim to be a state religion. The same
is also true of Taoism, since deceased
generals and statesmen are assigned
their corresponding ranks with the
1aoistic king of the lower world in
hades In this role they are wOrshiped
in Taoistic temples. In this way it is
of all three religions without getting
into conflict with the distinctive prin-
ciples of any Of them. Their officials
worship together. In funeral services
monks OF both orders are found per-
forming functions on different days.
The public temples are usually in
control of the Taoists, but sometimes
are in charge of Buddhists. Not rarely
Taoistic gods are found in Buddhist
temples and vice versa. Sometimes
they differ only in name. The Bud
dhist goddess of mercy is the Taoist
goddess of heaven. The pearl king Of
the Taoists is the imperial ruler Of the
Bnddhists. Both systems teach the
same ten princes in hades, and even
a reproduction Of the Buddhist punish

Ancient ProofreadinE.

The editions of books printed 200 or
800 years ago are almost entirely free
from typographical errors, which may
be attributed to the fact that early
publishers were generally eminent
scholars, and themselves gave much
attention to the revision of their
proofs. Ac."r reading the proofs they
frequently lG"ned them over to other
scholars with l." request to revise and
correct, and as tie printers time was
then deemed a matter of small conse-
quence a perfection was attained which
is seldom equaled by modern printers.

GREENE AGAIN ELECTED PRESIDENT
Cananea Properties Will Continue To
 Be Operated Under His Direction.

Colonel William C. Greene retains control of the Cananea copper mines That much was settled at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Greene Consolidated Copper company. held at New York on Saturday last A voting committee organized in Col. Greene's interests cast one solid block of 275,SI9 votes for a board of directors friendly to him. This committee com priSed: Frank H. Davis of the firm of Hawley, Davis and Co.,. John r. Har- ris. of Harris, Gates and Co, and Nor ton Chase of the firm of Logan, De- mond and Harby. Mr. Chase is quite well known in Phoenix. as he has been here frequently in connection with the many suits which have been brought against Greene or the Greene company There were 5S0.000 shares voted ont of the total of 600,000 shares outstanding. Over one hundred stockholders were present at the meeting. The director elected Saturday are: Charles AGsit. Thcs. H. Anderson. Bernard H. Be- ruch, Emil Berolzeheimer, Henry F. Blount, Anson W. Burchard, H. F.. Huntington. John w. Gates, W. C. Greene, Edwin Hawley, Henry Olie- sheimer. Alfred Romer. L. c. Weir. H. g. Black, Mark l.. Sherry. Edward B. Tustin and Jacob Weidman. Immedi9- tely after their election the directors organized by re-electing Col. Greene as l5resident. All the old officers were re- elected. in fact. Thus for another year. at least, there was retirement Of all rumors that Greene wounl be derossd from the presidency.
 It is reported, however. that in the stockholders meeting there was con- siderable feeling regarding the recent decision of the directors to declare no more dividends for awhile. Col Greene in reply to inquiries from the correspondents said that il was the unanimous opinion of the board that it would be good policy to discontinue dividends until a larger surplus had been accumulated. The company is in excellent condition, according to Col. Greene, but the recent strike in the west has caused an advance in the price of coal. and operating expenses have increased. The company now has or hand enough coal to last ninety days, and will therefore not be incon- vcnienced by the strike d the Colorado Fuel and Iron works. It is felt that if the comhany has an ample surplus it will be in q position to make trades which will reduce operating expenses very materially.
 Ir the opinion of Col Greene every stnckhoider will within one year re ceive much benefit from the tempor- arv passing of the dividends. The stock broke sharply to $14 on the curb mar ket.

GOES FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
Dick Richards the Assailant of a
 Little Girl.

Judge Kent yesterday sentenced Dick Richards to fifteen years at Yuma for criminal assault upon a little girl by the name of Stewart last summer near Five Points. Richards was not arrested for three or four days after the occurrence and when he was taken before a justice of the peace for preliminary examination he said he was guilty
 He pleaded guilty when he was in dicted.
 There was no hearing of any sort but if was ascertained that notwith- standing the extreme youth of the child it was probably only constructive assault. In passing sentence Judge Kent said that but for that fact he would have made the sentence much more severe. However in the case Of Richards it amounts to a sentence for life for he is now fifty-fve years old.
 Miguel B. Romero. who had been convicted of an assault upon Frank Casner with a deadly weapon was sentenced to three years in the terri torial prison.
 Sheriff Cook took these man and Joe Finley. and W. NJ. Carter to Yuma last night.

fl BROKEN HIP
Charles Stevens Thrown From a
 Buggy Yesterday.

Charles W. Stevens. one cf the pro prietOrs of the Palo Alto stables. was thrown from a buggy yesterday morn ing and So seriously hurt that he will perhaps be confined to his house for two months. He and his partner. John Wiggins, who had just returned from a summer spent in the east. Were dH'iV- ing about the town. The animal they were driving was Q young colt but had been very gentle. Near the corner of Monroe and First streets it was frightened by a passing car and be- gan to try to break away.
 The mOtO:man. seeing the fright Of the animal made the mistake of bring irg his car to d standstill. thinking that it was only the motion that frightened it. If he had passed on the fright would perhaps have been only momentary. But the stopping set it to going and before Mir. Stevens who was driving could control it it ran into a telephone pole near the corner of Sec oHd and Monroe streets. The buggy was overturned and MT. Stevens was thrown cut on his side. MT. Wiggins fell on top of him.
 It was found that MT. Stevens was unable to rise and those who carried him away was quite certain that his hip was broken or dislocated.
 Physicians were sent for and it was soon ascertained that the injury was a fracture and not a dislocation.
 He was resting easily yesterday evening.
 Mr. Wigg:ns sustained a hurt on his left leg.
