TOUCHY SERVANTS.
Japanese Nesans Have to Be Handled
With Gloves Of Velvet.

Japanese servants must be treated
with tact, however trying they may be.
and often they are very trying indeed.
especially the nesans, who are usual
ly untidy. cross and lazy. Yet the
dear little things have admirers who
praise their kittenish ways. their tiny
hands and even. of all things, their
artistic temperaments
A certain writer solemnly says: "a
Japanese nesan-any nesan. even one
in hotel-will set out your hairbrush-
es, clothesbrushes, nail scissors. col
lar box and tooth powder on the av-
erage hotel dressing table and make
q design of them-a picture. an artistic
whole" All can say is that no nesan
has ever arranged studies of still life
with the nail scissors and the tooth
powder for me. though. possibly by
way of compensation. one has started
little lakes of boiling water on my
carpet when rang for you. or toppled
over the morning tea tray and ar
ranged the fragments in an uncon-
ventional design on my bed quilt, or
dragged table with scrapn"s in a
minor key the whole length of the We
randa.
If corrected roughly the maiden will
first cry and then leave. The hotel
manager is well aware of this-aware
with all the nervous perception OF Il
person whom one hasty or i'll consider
ed sentence can throw into sitna-
ton seriously threatening his comfort
and prosperity; hence his attitude of
habitual mcckness. He dares not let
his little lecture slide over the line
which divides it from scolding and
is careful to deliver necessary eN-
hortation with a smiling face and fire.
Guent laughs just to show that it is
really not scoldng at all.-St. Louis
Post Dispatch.

IN A ROMAN CAB.
- PARTY OF Disguised Americans and
an OvergratefuI Driver.

In Mr.. Howells' Roman Holidays
and Others is this delightful storr
of an adventure in Roman cab:
IN returning from the pincio the only
CAB we had been able to get was the
last left of the very worst cabs in
Rome, and we had hidden tne driver
wait for us at the church stems. not
without some hope that he would play
us false. But there he was, true to
his word. with such disciplined fidelity
as that of the Roman sentinels who
used to die at their posts, and We
mounted to ours with the muted
prayer that we at least might reac!,
home alive.
This did not seem probable when the
driver whipped up his horse. 1t ap-
pcared to have aged and sickened
while we We're in the church. although
we had thought it looked as bad as
could be before, and it lurched alarm
ingly from side to side, recovering il.
self with plunge of its heavy head
away from the side in which its body
was sinking.
The driver swayed on his box. hav
ing fallen equally decrepit, in spite o;
the restoratives he seemed TO have an
piled for his years and niirnities Hi
clothes had put on some such effer;
of extreme decay as those of Rip Van
Wrinkle in the third act; there was
danger that he would fan on top OF
his falling horse and thar their raj
ment would minele in one srandalous
ruin
Via SiStina had never been so full OF
people before; never before had it been
so long to that point where we were
to turn out Of it into the friendly OBJ
security Of the little cross street which
would bring us to our hotel. We could
not consent to arrive in that form; we
made the driver stop, and we got out
and began overpaying him to release
us.
But the more generously we over
paid him the more nobly he insisted
upon serving us to our door.
At last by such a lavish expenditure
as ought richly to provide for the few
remaining wears of himself and his
horse. we prevailed with him to let us
80 and reached our hotel glad. al
most proud. to arrive on foot.

and Dissenting Opinions.

On saturday evening each justice re-
reiNeS from the chief justice an en-
vclope containing the names of the
asses the chief justice has decided IA

on. and the chief justice also notifies
the justices of the hour of the confer
ence on Monday morning. The confer
enceS are usually held III the confer
ence room under locked doors The
chief justice prcSideS. and cases are
taken up or postponed according to the
wishes of the justices or their readi-
ness to consider them. Each Justice
Is furnished with a lock book. in which
he may enter the details of Il case. the
record of the vote on conference and
the final disposition. On case be-
ing assigned by the chief justice to a
justice to write the opinion of the
court the opinion when written must
be agreeable to the justices. If not
the dissatisfied justice will promptly
write dissenting opinion. In some
instances four of the justices have
each written dissenting opinion. but
the usual custom is for one to write
it and announce that the others con
cur.
Before n case Is reached for ar"'i-
mcnt the justices famliariZe them
selves with its records and briefs. and
when one is directed to write the opin
ion he makes study of the case. long

may take a few days or months. The
opinion is dictated. and after being

down and revised; another copy is then
made. further revised and sent to the
printer. In order that the com
positors who set the type may not
know the decision Of the case the
foreman sets up the last few lines of
the opinion. locks them in safe. and
after the opinion is set up he adds
them to it, takes two proofs and for
wards them under lock and key to the
justice. 1t is again read and revised
and sometimes completely altered and
returned to the printer. corrected by
the latter and nine revises sent to the
Justice
If the opinion is now satisfactory to

revised or changed. if need be. to con-
form to their views. If there be Il
dissenting opinion the justice writing

dissent is completed
Then on some Monday. the court be-

an opinion in the case, giving its num-
Der and title. and then proceeds to
read it ut length to the dozen people
who may be present. II there be a
dissenting opinion the justice writing

names of the justices who concur with

of the court sends verified copy of
