JAPANESE AND cHINAMEN.
Interesting Comparison Between the
Natives Of the Two Coun-
tries.

An English merchant resident for
many years in China recently visited
Japan, He makes the following inter-
esting comparison between the natives
of the two countries: "As nation l
cannot think that the Japanese have the
permanent staying qualities of the
Chinese. They are physically inferior,
and have the misfortune to inhabit a
country of active volcanoes and fire.
quent earthquakes whose terrors de-
stroy or threaten. Yedo was wrecked
and 100000 people killed by an earth
quake in 1855, and you must remember
the devastation of the one in 1891. The
average is so shocks, great and small
every year. There have been two erup-
tions and several shocks since I've been
here, and the peerless mountain, Full
yama, sometimes gives threatening
signs and may suddenly spread wide
cast ruin. This dread of earthquakes
has restricted the architecture and
household arrangements of the whole
country.
Chinese are employed by the foreign
banks, merchants and hotels here for
most responsible positions, compra-
dores, godown keepers and head serv-
ants. The general testimony is that
Japanese are untrustworthy for such
positions and that native merchants
have not much commercial honor Nor
al responsibility appears TO rest too
lightly upon all of this class, which may
be partly caused by the facilities af-
forded by the numerous temples for the
remission of sins. A coin thrown into {.
box, bell rung, devout attitude and
short formal prayer quickly brings the
sinner into favor again with his gods.
Making allowance for the small sta
ture of these people, their children, es-
pecially the thousands of schoolboys
I've seen, appear puny and weak, and
they are tame and girlish in their
sports. The small size and frequent
hollow chests of the men detract from
their appearance as soldiers and police;
physique and disposition will always
prevent the Japs from realizing our
ideal of soldier-a man of good size
by our standards, we'll developed, erect.
smart and brisk. The troops / saw
marching and drilling lacked these sol,
dierly qualities, moved in slouching
way, their arms and equipments mp
pearing too heavy for them"

"TouT" FOR A DOCTOR.
Collector of Debts coneeives New Way
of Swelling His Weekly
Income.

II think" said the shrewd collector,
that have made about $40 on COM
missions this week. At any rate, /
have recommended a doctor to two
sick people, and if they are in as bad
shape as l think they are he ought to
make enough off of them to afford to
pay me five dollars apiece"
'Is looking up patients for impecu-
NOUS doctors one of your specialties?"
asked a friend, according to the New
York Herald.
We'll, yes" admitted the collector;
ut is kind of side issue. But it isn't
fair to call this doctor impecunious.
He is really a good physician and has
patients of his own. Still, he is not
averse to receiving new ones occas-
ionally to take the place of the old ones
not only doing him favor by increas-
ing his practice, but am acting the
part Of good Samaritan to the sick
folks.
1T was wholly by accident that l hit
upon that way of serving my fellow men.
One morning 1 called at an Eighty-first
street house to collect the monthly pay
ment on a set of books. 1 had to wait
several minutes before l could see the
woman who owed the money. While
waiting l was asked to step into the par
lor. There was a man in the room
huddled up against the register and
coughing miserably. He spoke pres
emily of what bad shape he was in.
You do seem little tuckered out
said l. Have you seen doctor?'
No. said he, I haven't don't know
whom to see. l am a stranger in town
and l have learned to fight shy of the
doctors one picks up by chance. They
are apt to do you more harm than good.
That is so, said 1. And then
thought of DR.. Blank. He had recently
pulled me through a spell of sickness,
and naturally l had faith in his ability
l told the man my own experience and
advised him to see the doctor. He
proved to be pretty profitable patient.
and the doctor, of course, did the square
thing by me. Since then have been on
the lookout for opportunities to recon-
mend him. Many of my calls are made
at boarding houses, where strangers
abound. In the nature of things those
people get sick occasionally, and since
sll New York doctors look alike to them
they don't know which one to consult.
In such an emergency frequently hap
pen around, and then-well DR.. Blank'i
name is straightway suggested"

NEW YORK FUNERALS
DUTY WHICH MOST PEOPLE SEEM
TO SHRINK FROM.
Congregations at Church Services on
Such Occasions Are Generally
Small - Home obsequies
Are Preferred.


New Workers do not go to funerals
when they can avoid it. A full church
at funeral service is a great compli-
ment TO anybody who leaves New York
Tor the other world. 1t is an indication
that he was either very rich or very
popular. 1t is not always safe in this
city to count on large attendance at
the funeral of even a celebrity, states
the Sun.
New Workers are too busy with the
affairs of this life or too Indifferent to
attend to duties of this kind. So we'll
recognized is the disinclination to go
TO funerals that the attendance of only
a handful of persons at a church fu-
neral service is not cause for chagrin
to the family of the deceased. They all
know that New Workers do not go to
funerals if they can avoid it.
Strangers who come to New York are
more impressed by the importance of
the sexton at a funeral than by any,
thing else, save the small attendance.
Most sections here are also undertak-
ers, and when parishioners die the
funeral preparations are usually hand
ed over to them.
VINO has not observed their officious
and hasty trips up and down the aisles
OF the church before the service begins,
their solicitude over the order in which
the family are to enter and the state of
excitement, bordering almost on panic,
in which they arrange the departure
from the church? The sexton has his
share of enjoyment at every funeral,
whether the congregation be large or
small, and he is the only person about
a New York funeral who really does
go to his work in any but an uninter-
ested way. He seems much concerned.
The congregation stares about with
considerable indifference.
Last summer a New Yorker, who at
one time had large wealth and was al
ways in possession of high social po-
sition, died. Eleven persons attended
his funeral. To be sure, he was buried
on day that separated two holidays.
Many of his friends were near enough
to the city to come in if they want
ed to.
- hAOAupOA VI bOfCl al &c City CLUBS,
q rich man in small way in life
New Yorker, was buried last fall in
the presence of handful of persons in
a church to which he had belonged for
20 years. He had large family con-
nection, but they were away or sick or
too little interested to come TO his
funeral. So man whose acquaintance
would have kept him bowling constant
ly in the Fifth Avenue church parade
had fewer persons at his funeral than
he would have greeted on one clear
morning.
The little groups that gather at the
church door are sometimes too shy to
enter the vast church and scatter them
selves through it, making an OCCASION
al head here and there They wait for
frineds to give them courage.
In the same way the funeral party
waits for mourners that never come
until, finally, the officious sexton, with
a look of disappointment that more
persons are not to see mis- splendid ar
rangements, starts the mourners up the
aisle.

THE SIGN OF THE PATCH.
Its Location as an Index Of the
Habits Of a Man Some
thing to Go By.

Mrs. Murray had advertised for skilled
gardener to work by the day in her yard,
and, somewhat to her embarrassment, she
was obliged to choose between two APP
plicants who appeared at the same mo-
ment. As she stood on her doorstep, ques-
tioning first one and then the other, re-
lates Youths Companion, she became
aware that her mother-in-law, seated on
the porch a short distance from the men
and directly behind them, was frantically
gesticulating.
The old lady, satisfied at last that she
had attracted her daughter.in-law's atten-
ton, pointed unmistakably toward the less
prepossessing of the two men; and the
younger woman, supposing that her rela-
tive had some personal knowledge of the
applicant, promptly engaged him.
Has that man ever worked for you,
mother?" asked Mrs. Murray, when the
two women were alone.
NO" replied the old lady. 'T never
saw or heard of either of 'em until now"
Then why in the world did you choose
the shorter man2 The other had much
better face"
"Face!" returned the old lady, brislSly.

ELECTRIC STREET LIGHTING
Cleveland's Experiment with Twelve
Lamps of Two Thousand
Candle Power.

The first instance of public street
lighting in this country was in the pub
lie square of Cleveland, little park of
about ten acres. In April, 1879, 12 lamps
OF the ordinary so-called 1000 candle
power were installed in the park on high
ornamental poles, writes Charles F.
Brush, in 'The Arc-light," in Century.
While we were putting up the poles
and line circuit, great deal of interest
was manifested by the public, and on
the evening when the lights were for
rnally started the park was crowded
with people. Many evidently expected a
binding glare of light, as they had pro-
Wded themselves with colored specta-
cles or smoked glass. OF course there
was at first a general feeling of disap-
pointment in this respect, although
everyone was willing to admit that he
could read with ease in any part of the
square. After a few weeks, however,
when the novelty had worn off, and the
people had tired OF staring at the lamps,
the general verdict was highly favora-
BILE to the new light.
AS the public square lights were re-
quired to burn all night, this necss!tat-
ed putting fresh carbons in each lamp
sometime during the night, because a
single set would not last until morning
But the nightly trimming of the lamps
required an extra man and added ma
terially to the cost of lighting. To meet
this difficulty, devised the double
carbon" lamp, which afterward grew in
to general use for all-night lighting,
and became famous through much pa
tent litigation.
