Isn'titstrange thatpeople should go to New York to rest up? You know what Broadway and Fifth avenue are from Thirtieth to Thir.
 y-fifth street.-the densest, nOisi- .st place in the world, writes cor respondent of the Pittsburg Dis patch. Yet l know prominent Pittsburg business man who when he gets tired, slams down his .oli-top desk, seizes his case and -akes the train east. In New York le patrOnizes a well-known hotel much favored by Pittsburgers. i,sks for a room on the twelfth '1oor, andif he gets it, or one on the floor either above or below, he is happy. Twelve floors up he is re moved from the noise of the busy pavement below. So far as qui etude is concerned he might az well be in country village. ID the morning the bright sunshine steals in at his window, which overlooks the river and the dOcks below. At night the view is one of entertainment, watching the yes sells move to and fro with their myriads of lights. And, although there is gayety below in a dozen corners of that self-same hotel, nc sound of it ever penetrates to his quarters. But this is only one ot the many possibilities of a won derful town.

JAPANESE ARE VERY POLITE
Tn Conversation Formality Is Ever Observed and Self Set AL
 ways at Naught.

Japanese politeness is a marvel ous thing and without it their Ian guage, as it stands at present. would fall to pieces, says Modern Society. Everything that is ad- dressed to the Honorable side" of the room-that is, to "yOr'-or in any way refers to your posses siOns or concerns, must be mod ,led on a certain form of adora- tion, overwhelming, almost suf locating. But anythin" that has to do with the "groveling side"-- that is with "me" or my concerns must take on a peculiar belit- tling, indifferent and even con temptuous form.
 Thus, at setting out one has to learn that all ones own things are low, mean and vile, while the other fellows are admirable, hon orable, august, divine. If Jones wished to borrow a knife from Smith to sharpen a pencil, he would say: "May taken your honorable knife in my dirty hands to sharpen my still dirtier pen cil?" And Smith would reply: "Certainly, here is my filthy knife; when you have deigned to sharpen you august pencil with it I beg that your augustness will conde- scend to hand it back to decayed me so that I might place it in my tilthier pocket"

Correspondence.

Coal Harbor, Dec. 29-The new saloon of Peter Nelson of Unga was totally destroyed by fire last week.
 The passenger list of the Dora, from the westward, includes. the names of Peter Nelson and U. s. Marshal Vawter, the latter in charge of a Russian native, Evan Sorokihoff, alias Smokey Jack, who has developed dangerous symptoms of insanity.
 The three masted schooner "W. H. Diamond" arrived at Unga Dec. 20, and is now loading $50 tons of salted codfish for the Alaska Goldfish Co. to San Francisco.
 The crying want of the town of Unga is school teacher for the public school. This school, with a daily attendance of thirty pupils, has been closed for three years, from pure neglect of the general government in providing teacher. Petitions, remonstrances and pro- tests, seemed to have totally failed of results.

Clever With the Cards.

Some years ago certain county Jail
was undergoing extensive alterations,
during which time gang Of pickpock-
cts, four In number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for time in one
CELL but were placed under strict sur
velllance, the care Of them being spe
clally intrusted to the sergeant. The
day after during his rounds he spled
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned fel-
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners were most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However, the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
pickpockets were to be sent to the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintend-
ent, a very kind man and a great ia
vorite with every one, asked them as
q favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
in his pocket and picked 1t again be-
fore he left, as proof Of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where. youthful Hlndoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
Jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court in the first instance
where the brides parents, says the
Natal Mercury, accused her husband Of
abducting her while under thirteen
years Of age. The bride, however
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court tug of war took place between
the two parties for the possession Of
the bride, in the course of which II ap
peared that what her parents particu-
larly desired was not herself, but her
jewelry. A sergeant Of police then sat
In judgment and decided that the jew
elry belonged to the parents, and the
girl must choose between her husband
and her bracelets. After some cogita-
ton she chose the husband, who
promptly unfastened the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents.

In the "most magnificent public
building in the United States" as
New Workers characterize the new
Public Library, now nearing compile
tion at Fifth aveDue and Forty-sec-
ond street, on the site of a once ia
nous reservoir. there will be sixty
three miles of book shelves. 1t is es-
timated that these shelves will afford
iodgment for about 100000 vol
umes.
Realizing the extreme value of
the treasures which Will be stored
here. the architects and builders
haze taken especial care to make
certain that this mammoth collection
shall be safe from fire. The beauti-
full structure will be as nearly fire
proof as human ingenuity can assure.
The walls of the building are of
massive stone, shining white. II fills
the entire frontage OF two city
blocks from Fortieth to Forty-second
street facing east. 1t is 394 feet
long. PA feet deep, and 130 feet
above the ground az its highest point.
Selected stones from the walls OF the
old reservoir compose n large part
OF the foundations. Tie walls are
six feet at the base. The marble
facing is composed of sof'd blocks a
foot or more thick.
From the standpoint of library ar
ransement the stack room at the
rear, overlooking Bryant park, is the
unique feature of the library. In the
room, which is 297 feet long, rs feet
wide and So feet high is a structure
of steel beams covering almost the
entire space. This Is the bookcase.
Four and half million pounds of
steel were put into it. The weight
will fall upon 704 cast iron columns,
bolted at their base to solid rock.
Floors and partitions will be made of
hollow blocks OF porous terra Gotta,
which, manufactured under a heat
equal to that of any possible confla-
CATION, is unburnable. The interior
steel columns in the library, too, are
protected against fire by the hollow
blocks for It has been proved by
tests that steel gives way when ex-
posed to very great heat.
The principal reading room is in
the top of the building and its win
dows look on Fifth avenue and on
Bryant park. BY day all light will
be furnished by the sun, and the big
room, on account of Its lofty and
open position, will be especially well
