The way in which the Japanese re-
gard the Transformation produced by
the restoration" of the present en-
peror, upon the overthrow of the "Ba-
kufu" or Curtain government" may
be judged from the following graphic
paragraph from THE Far East"
1.-THE restoration Of Meiji was indeed
the greatest of revolutions that this
island empire ever underwent. It's
magic wand left nothing untouched
and unchanged. It was the restora-
tion which overthrow the Tokugawa
Shogunate, which reigned supreme for
over two centuries and half. 1t was
the Restoration that brought us face
to face with the Occidentals. It was
the Restoration that pulled the demi-
gods of the Feudal lords down to the
level of the commoners. It was the
Restoration that deprived the samurai
OF the fiefs an7 reduced them to Pc
nury. 1t was the Restoration that
taught the people to build their houses
OF bricks and stones and to construct
ships and bridges of iron instead of
wood. 1t was the Restoration that

The capture Of the murderer of En-
gineer Glennan is both very credit
able piece of work and a matter of
congratulation to the public The
prompt punishment of crimes of vio-
lence has distinct tendency to dis
courage crimes of the kind. The re-
suits of the efforts of the authorities
in this case, also show the advantage
of having a man of capacity as well
as of mere linguistic ability, in the po-
sition Of interpreter. The results so
far obtained are due largely to the work
of Chester Doyle.

ostentation Of

Hotel Astor," On the West side, in the
'Tenderloin," vSu cater to theater
traffic, to the youES man about town and
his friends. The st. Regis, gracing one
of Fifth avenues finest corners, is even
more expensive butless loud in the char
acter of it's occupancy. 1t will probably
attract family patronage of the sort that
can stand the price, and will prove q
favorite resort for society functions of
sort not likely in the Longacre Square
neighborhood-
These three hotels, all built by Astor
money, and two of them representing
the acme of luxury, have together cost
more than s20,00O,OOO Where is the
profit? In the case of the st. Regis, in
the highest prices for food ever charged
by any hotel upon the American CONT
nent, or perhaps any other. Three dol
lars for plain roast chicken, five dol
lars for young roast turkey, one dollar
for a melon, 60 cents to $1.5O for salad
there ought to be a reasonable profit in
such prices. A dinner for two can hardly
be completed with economy at such rates
short of $40. The prices at the moro
Bohemian Hotel Astor are hardly in
ferior. The Holland house, charging one
dollar for the smallest steak on it's bill,
and Sherry's follow in order of expen-
siveness. Next come Delmonico's, the
Waldorf-Astoria, the Savoy and 20
others shading by slight degrees to
prices merely high. The wonder is
and grows how New York, even with
its visitors, can support them all.

| and elaborate designs in braiding are all
| in evidence.
Very charming day toilets are in taf-
fetas, glace, and heavy old-fashioned
corded silk. Some of these frocks are
most picturesque trimmed with narrow
f1ounces edged with velvet, gallon, lace,
or fnger-width fur. A touch of age-yel-
low lace is seen on them, and the silk
used must be thick and soft without
any rustic.
Velvet in the most deliciously soft and
pliable texture will rival silk for su-
premacy. In deep plum shades, wine
color, and all the range of browns,
greens, and blues, are some of the love-
liest velvet fabrics imaginable. These
will be seen in evening gowns, as we'll
as those for day wear.
All the rough hairy cloths of last year
are very close shaver this season, for
smooth-surfaced materials of every de-
scription are once more the fashion.
For evening dresses crepe-de-chin
soft silks. and voiles are worn in com
bination with lace insertion spangled
and embroidered. These gowns show
tight-fitting bodices pointed front and
back, very well boned, and high in the
best. Sleeves are frequently of elbow
length with deep frills of lace. Black
velvet bows prim and neat, adorn these
bodices in the front, and are really very
effective. In fact these tricky little fin
ishes appear much on blouses, especially
when the sleeves have deep lace cuffs.
The bows are then sewn on down the
back seam, and begin very small and get
gradually larger towards the elbow.
A series of narrow flounces reaching
to the hips trims many an evening skirt
of net, silk, or any thin material; or it
may be three flounces graduating to a
point in front and deeper at the back; or
one flounce very high at the back, and
ending quite narrow in the front, or
breaking off at each side of the front
width.
Shocking has been resorted to as a
variation from the tuckings and shir-
rings, and it looks charming executed in
rather coarse silk of contrasting shade
or to match material.

The Autumn Modes of PAR

The cut-away Directoire coat is re-
vived, worn with beautiful waistcoat.
The paletot in taffeta is feature of the
early autumn; no doubt it will give place
later to velvets and brocades Moire an
tique is being great deal used both for
day and evening wear.
Partisan couturieres are still making
fine Indian muslin frocks for young lead
ers of society. Soft folds of muslin and
Valenciennes lace are extremely becom-
ing. The skirts are gathered, pleated
and variously adorned with quaint
ruches, entire deux of lace and beautiful
hand stitchery, for though bodices may
perhaps be getting more simple and
sleeves less voluminous, skirts are fuller
than ever. Soft fabrics such as muslins,
certainly are at their best in picturesque
styles which do not carry any particular
date
Thesmore costly examples of evening
dress will be composed of velvets and
silks, and many will be made With the
old Louis XVI. court bodice This is a
distinct change from the dropping
pelerine effects, though these Ia, ter have

and minute of publication, and thus
they keep tally on scoops"
All day long crowds of men and boys
wait in front of the newspaper Offices
to get the extras. They wear very lit
tie clothing-just short kimona and
trousers, that look like loose swimming
trunks. Each one has a sash of cotton
cloth tied around his waist, and to
this are knotted three, four and some
times six and seven ordinary dinner
bells. The bells hang on the wearer's
hip, and as soon as he gets bunch of
extras he starts off on dead run down
the middle of the street. The bells
make terrible clatter and the people
rush out to buy the war news, for they
know that the bells mean a fresh war
extra.
The extras go like hot cakes, and the
boys get all the way from five rim
(Which is about a quarter of cent in
our money! to five sen Cor two and a
half cents) for them. The bells save
the boys the trouble of crying their
papers, and, besides. notify everybody
at once that there Is some big war news
on sale.

NEWS SELLERS OF JAPAN.
They Are Quite as Enterprising as
Our Own Newsboys and Make
Even More Noise.

The newsboys of Japan have been
reaping a harvest during the last six
months.
The people of Japan are great read
ers, and, besides, they are exceedingly
patriotic and intensely interested in the
war with Russia. You can see, then
how anxious they must be to get the
latest news Of the war.
A japanese newspaper generally has
one big issue in the morning, contain
ing news, cartoons and advertisements,
about like our papers. Then after that
extras are printed all day long and
sometimes up to midnight.
The extras are printed on little slips
of paper just large enough to contain
the item which is the cause of the ex-
ira. These little handbills are printed
only on one side of the paper, and
sometimes an extra consists of no more
than 20 or 80 words. Then next day
each paper prints its regular edition

extras of the day before, with the hour

S@R1 ture, but autumn with Its
stealthy tread gives place be-
fore we are aware to the first chill days
of winter. From the point of view of
fashion we shall see undoubtedly win
ter season remarkable for the choiceNin
picturesque dressing, for early Victorian
and Directoire modes have inspired al
most every notable style. Given sense
of becomingness and good taste, every
woman ought to be suitably and prettily
dressed.
The tight bodice, with point front
and back, is very popular again; but this
has in nowise deposed the blouse, the
varieties of which are as numerous as
the moods of it's wearers. The plain
morning shift of soft suede-like flannel
is a sine qua non with the short walk
ing skirt, and smartlittle coat which has
a short basque, loose fronts with seam
running up the center of each into the
shoulder, and fastening in Chesterfield
fashion; or else the coat is built with an
inexpressibly smart effect with its plain
vest of contrasting material.
Vests both plain and ornate are
prominent feature in tailor costumes,
particularly those of the Directoire or
der.
Undeniably the short skirt has come
to stay. 1t is endless in it's variations of
pleats, tucks, flounces, and applied folds.
The most popular forms usually spring
into pleats at the hem, which treatment
gives the requisite flare round the feet.
Another type has double and rather
wide box-pleat in the front width, and
pleat in the back to correspond. When
the short skirt is quite unadorned, it sets
rather full round the waist, and falls in
soft lines to the hem, where it is of full
and uniform length.
Deep killed flounces, and also gath
cred ones having a rather wide heading
which looks like little frill along the
top, are used for gowns of faced cloth,
checks and all silk goods. Strappings,

THE OLD RED BARN.

There's an old red barn at grandma's and
tell you it's the one
For the jolliest sort of doings and the great
est place for fun!
We can shout and yell and tumble-just
make glorious noise,
And nobody will bother; grandpa says
twas built for boys.
There's lofts and mows Of meadow grass
and clover-Scented hay,
Where we can play we're Indians or pirates
all the day,
And take fort or sink ship or make a
robbers cave
Behind the Stanchions where the cows are
blinking wise and grave.
Then when the sun is low behind the hr
trees crests,
And all the swallows overhead are sleep
ing in their nests.
We sit together on the hay and talk of
what We'll be
When we're grown up and all the deeds
We'll do on land and sea.
Tom says he'll be captain bold and sail
the ocean DER;
Dick means to go to Africa and all Its wilds
explore
But l will be a soldier brave, and Chris
TOPPER declares
That he will hunt for tigers and go shoot
ing grizzly bears.
Then, when it gets too dark and still, we
leave 1t for the light
Though pirates are all right by day, they re
not the thing by night!
The woods and ponds and shores and fields
are jolly as can be,
But the old red barn at grandpa's is just
the place for me.
