japanese Currency.
The currency of Japan is on a
gold basis. The yen of the old days
was of the value of our currency, but
it's present value is so cents. The
bank bills of the country are about
tWo-thirds the size of our treasury
notes. The metal coins of the realm
are the SO sen, of the value of 25
cents, a silver coin about the size of
our half dollar, 20 sen piece, val
ued at 10 cents and about the size
of the Canadian 20 cent piece, also
of silver, the 10 sen, valued at five
cents, and this is of silver and the
size of our dime. The five sen piece
is Of copper alloy the size of our
nickel which it very much resembles
and is of the value of two and
half cents. Another coin not found
in general circulation is the rim Of
the value of one-twelfth of a cent.
Japanese Skill.
In embroidery remarkable taste is
displayed both in design and work.
manship. This work is all done by
men.
Japanese art in painting differs
materially from the European
schools, but is none the less worthy
of consideration. The painters
ideal is to represent the soul of
things rather than their visible
forms.
A good type foundry is located at
Toxic, and this suggests the multi
tude of manufacturing plants in the
Empire: factories for the weaving
of cotton, wooden and silk goods;
paper mills; iron, steel and copper
works; locomotive and steamship
works, engineering and electrical
plants are only a small number of
the works to be found in all large
towns of the Empire. Japan has
thus started out to keep pace with
so-called civilized nations and to
contribute her share to the progress
and deVeIODment of the things
which go to make up a progressive
nation.

JAPAN OF TODAY
C. H. Colby Writes of the Hotels
and Rates.-The Japan Method
of Working.-Farmers' Homes.

The charges at the foreign style
hotels in Japan are from four to ten
yen per day; at japanese inns from
one to three yen, with two meals per
day. Travellers when stopping at
the latter are expected to give extra
tea money, the amount paid being
optional with the guest Along the
country routes are rest houses usu-
ally commanding fine views where
travellers may rest and for small
compensation secure tea or other re-
freshments. Guides who speak fair
ly good English, may be obtained for
two or six yen per day and their
expenses. Jinrikisha fares are 20
sen per hour or. one yen and half
per day of eight hours. Electric
cars are four sen per course, and are
well constructed and operated. Por-
tiers, who handle parcels, bags, ETC.,
are to be found at all railway sta
tions, wearing red caps to whom
small fees should be paid. Sleeping
berths on the railways are one yen
so sen, (75 cents) to two yen ($1)
per night, or from eight p. M, to
eight a. m. Lunch boxes with beer,
saki, native cakes, cooked rice, milk,
sandwiches, cigars, fruit, papers and
magazines may be obtained at most
stations at moderate prices.
5000 Miles of Railroad,
Japan has nearly six thousand
miles of completed railroads which
are well constructed and managed,
also excellent electric roads, and in
the cities may be seen now and then
n oh 10 ola IA h.
streets do not admit of their use
to any extent in the small towns. The
railway fares are about two, three,
and to five sen per mile, according
to the class one uses. (1to 2 u cents)
Telegraph, telephone, messenger ser
vice and postal delivery are COM
mon in all large towns. A letter goes
within the empire for one and half
sen and to foreign lands for ten sen.
The government and commercial Of
fees in Toxic are fitted up like those
in the states with all modern devic-
es. Native shops are numerous, and
they are usually open in front with
goods displayed on three sides, while
the trader sits inside and smokes
his cigarette or small pipe, for most
of the people smoke in this country.
The larger stores of the native jap
anese may be likened somewhat to
those in the states years ago. There
are also large bazaars in the cities
where one may find large variety
of goods, we'll selected and sold at
reasonable prices. l have it from
many sources that the japanese mer-
chant is dishonest, which I believe is
untrue. I believe they are as honest
as the merchants of other countries,
for our own country affords not a
few who need to be watched in their
business transactions.

The Japs are Athletic.

The people of Japan are an ath-
letic race, and wherever one travels,
in country or town, are to be seen
evidence justifying this statement.
At the hotels one may see small
children tumbling and turning SOM
ersaults and exhibiting other evil
dences of their skill in acrobatic
feats.
They have strange ways of doing
their work. In place of wheelbar
row they use square piece of heavy
canvas with handles attached to OPP
posite sides and this sheet laid fiat
on the ground is filled with the soil
they wish to remove and so carried
away. The carpenter in using his
plane rests his board at an angle
of about 80 degrees and draws the
plane towards instead of from him
as with us. In their daily baths they
use a bath tub much like our barrel
which is filled with very hot water,
and no one is too poor to abstain
from the daily bath, which is deemed
an absolute necessity. Street hawk
ers are very common and one sees
milk, kerosene, fruits, vegetables,
fish, etc., sold on the streets every
where. Saki, beer and milk are sold
as beverages. Saki is bitter wine
made from rice and is common
drink among the people.
The home of the farming class
is small structure such as we have
described for the residents of the
cities with a matched roof of bam-
boo usually, but otherwise like its
city neighbor. The hotels patroniz-
ed by tourists are usually under for
eign management, but many in the
smaller towns are under japanese
control, and. one is provided for
much as in his own land. AS they
are seldom more than two stories in
height lifts or elevators are not to
be seen.
Were Not Allowed Abroad.
In one of my visits to the TOXIC |
Club 1 was introduced to a Scotch |
sea captain, whose name I fail to
recall, who took aboard his ship at |
early in the sixties four
young Japanese, who were among
the first of their race to visit foreign
lands with a view to learning a for
eign tongue and the ways of foreign
ners. They had run away
from home as no resident
abroad. After a brief time in
