HISTORIC OLD

From the London Sketch:

leading to Teddington, stands Straw

dence of Horace Walpole-afterwards
Earl Of Oxford-and now Of Mr.. Her.
pert dc Stern son of the late Baron
de Stern. Who has not heard Of
Strawberry hill, with It's brick and
mortar turrets, it's Gothic windows and
its charming grounds? From an
architectural point of view it has been
more or less criticised, as Wa1pole,
who was his own architect obtained
the designs for different parts of the
building from various quarters of the
globe. For instance the embattled
wall by the roadside was copied from
print in Aston house, warwickshire,
whilst portions Of tombs of bishops
and princes in various cathedrals were
made to do duty in the component
parts of fireplaces, doorways and win
dows. Dipping back into bygone
times, it Is on record that the house
stood on a piece of ground which was
called "Strawberry Hill Shot" The
house was originally only a small
tenement, built towards the end of the
Seventeenth century by the Earl of
Bradford's coachman and let as a
lodging house. The cottage, says Mr..
Goblet, in Walpole took over the re-
mainder of Mrs. Chevenixs lease, and
in the following year. purchased the
fee simple of the property by act of
Parliament, it being then in the hands
of minors Of the name of Mortimer.
At the time Walpole became pos
sessed Of the property it consisted of
the cottage and five acres Of ground,
which was subsequently extended by
the purchase Of outlying lands. He

Leaf Excellent for Dressings.

DR.. Reboul has made use with excel

in dressing wounds and alterations, ac-
cording to an exchange. The silver
sticks closely to the surface of the
wounded or diseased tissue and a small
quantity Of cotton soaked in colodium
is sufficient to keep it in place. When
the wound is fresh it heals quickly
without Inflammation or suppuration.

work went on but slowly and with dis
aster. The quicksands swallowed up
the earth and stones as fast as they
were thrown in, and, worse still, 1t
swallowed the workmen as well. Then
it was that a humble young girl, O
Sonsan (maid-servant), came forward
and offered to be buried alive in the
swamp to placate the evil spirits Of
the quicksand. The sacrifice was &C.
cepted, and from that moment the
work succeeded and no more lives
were lost. And that is why to-day, on
every fifteenth Of October, the Jap
anese in Yokohama dance on the site
of O Sonsan's grave.
Japan has never been priest-ridden,
hence the almost marvellous ease with
which it has been able to adapt itself
to the changing necessities Of the
times. There is no fanaticism in
Japan. Its priests are teachers, most
ly peripatetic: they expound the prin-
ciples of Shinto, or the sacred book
of Shaka, but they are not custo-
dams Of the Japanese conscience and
masters of his actions, as the Guru is
of the Hindoo. There are thousands
Of Shinto shrines and temples scat.
tered all over the country, by the side
Of almost every road. But they sym.
bofize no tenet Of fanatical sacrifice or
loss of mental liberty. The religion.
like everything japanese, is one Of
marked simplicity.

IMPROVED COMMUNICATION.
ployed In Austro-American
Shipping.

The Austro-A Americana line has &C.
quired a number of new vessels dur
Ing the past year, and has now fleet
of 10 steamers This has enabled the
company to make arrangements for a
greatly improved service. There will
be hereafter, besides the former semi
monthly sailings to New York, a
sailing every three weeks to Phila-
delphia and every five weeks to Bos-
ton and Baltimore AS full cargoes
cannot always be secured here, some
of the ships will call on their west
ward voyage at Greek, Sicilian and
Spanish ports. From the United States
the company will have regular semi
monthly sailings from Savannah and
New Orleans and monthly sailings
from Galveston.
The company has recently entered
into joint tariff agreement with the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
pany, in consequence of which goods
from any point on that company's
line will be carried to Mediterranean
and Adriatic ports with only one
trans-shipment at Pensacola. This ar
rangement will prove Of decided adj
vantage to our southern shippers, as
their goods will be less liable to be de-
layed or to suffer damage in transit.
The Austro-Americana has further
more added to it's service a new line
between Trieste and Veracruz, Mex
ico The steamers of this line, which
will also call at intermediate ports,
have each accommodation for about $50
passengers.
In view of the constantly increasing
dow of transatlantic emigration from
Austria Hungary, the managers of the
AustTo-Americana have for some time
been considering the advisability OF
adapting portion of their feet to the
carrying of emigrants, but SO far no
definite conclusion has been reached.
This irresolution has probably aided
in bringing about the recent decision
of the Cunard company to have some
of it's passenger steamers ply, during
the coming winter, between New
York and the principal ports Of Italy
and Austria Hungary for the trans
portation of second class and steerage
passengers. at rates which promise to
compete successfully with the north
ern lines. The steamers have been
fitted for carrying each 1000 steerage
passengers, besides several hundred sa-
loon passengers, and will make the
trip from Trieste to New York in
twenty days. They are said to be SUI
perior emigrant ships. being even
equipped with Marconis system Of
wireless telegraphy.

Here is real Japan, in all its truth
and purity, and here the real Japanese,
the most simple-hearted creature

For that is the keynote of Japanese
character-simplicity And it brings
a goddess in its tratn-beauty, the
handmaiden Of nature.
Many are the curious customs, Gu
rious to us, which are matters Of COM
mon habit in Japan. Up to late years
the facial charm OF femininity has
been rigidly restricted to the young
and unmarried, for after the we'd
ding ceremony the bride, as a mark
of ahonor to her husband, must blacken
her teeth and shave her eyebrows.
But even this. An immemorial OBJ
servance, is yielding to the advance
of knowledge and the reports of the
Travelled and more enlightened, and
will presently die out.
The visitor, especially one who has
sojourned in India, China, and other
eastern places, Is at once struck by the
extreme cleanliness of Japanese cities,
by the entire absence of beggars in the
streets, and of those degraded crea-
lures who swarm in the great capt.
tails. The street cries are all melo-
dious, and the avoidance of noise !, is
everywhere the first consideration.

SPANISH HEMAT1TE ORE.
Much of the Output Has Found Ready
Sale In the United
States.

A vein of hematite iron ore, rich in
quality necessary for the making Of
red paint for structural ironwork, has
been discovered near the city of Jaen.
in the province of that name, which
has been worked during the past year
and much of the output has found
ready sale in the United States. A re-
ported marked decrease in the output
of ore of this class in the United States
has probably stimulated the interest Of
American paint manufacturers in the
Malaga product-so much SO, in fact.
that an eastern state paint firm serf-
ously contemplated the purchase Of an
interest in the mine. Failure to reach
q satisfactory agreement with the
local owners has, it appears, checked
the DEAL 1t seems hardly probable,
however, that the original plan will
be carried out This contemplated the
formation of an American corporation
which would control the output of the
mine. The present outlook is that this
idea has been abandoned and that the
matter will result only in an additional
quantity of ore being supplied. The
mine is 100 miles from Malaga, but the
ore is brought here by rail and pre-
pared for shipment, both in its crude
state and refined, at a plant on the
outskirts of this city.

against 2,263, 380,172 marks ($538, 684,-
