into the forests to his hunting grounds three
hundred or four hundred miles distant
The trader loses no sleep for he knows that
when June has thawed out the ice Of the lakes
and streams the canoes will return bearing their
valuable furs and he will then balance accounts
with his former debtors. who have returned to
discharge their debts and TO receive credit for
the additional furs they have brought to the
trader.
One summer q post trader was asked about
the frequency of bad accounts. He replied that
he had never had bad account, that II some
times happened that the Indian was unable 20
make full payment but in such cases the pay
ment was simply postponed until he had more
successful hunt
The only event which prevents the Indian
from paying is his death.

THE CURIOUS JAPANESE.

Being on the other side of the earth Is per-
haps the reason why the japanese do things IN
fashion exactly the reverse from us Or
course 10 them we are the contrary mortas,
but the fact remains the same. Here are rev
instances
Japanese books begin upon the page where
our books end the page which we call the title
page they utilize for the fms. In the super
scription Of a letter, the Japanese begin with
the name of the country to which the letter is
TO be sent then follows the city, then the local
address and finally, the name of the receiver,
thus:
America. Illinois, Chicago, 1l2 Jones street,
Smith john ~
This. after all makes an easier job for the
postoffice employees, this descent from the gen
eral into the particular.
In Japan babies are carried not in the arms,
but upon the back. Etiquette compelS the re-
moval of the shoes rather than the doffing OF
the hat. Boats are stranded with them steins,
instead Of their prows, on the shore. Instead
of saving northeast or southwest, the Japanese
say east-north or west-south Wine is always
drunk before not after dinner, and sweets are
served before the substantial viands OF meal.
In all books the foot-notes occur at the top
Of the page; keys turn to the left, carpenters
plane towards the body instead of outward, and
in cash accounts the figures are written first
and the corresponding item next The Japanese
mount the horse from the right side. the har-
ness is fastened in all parts on that slde and
the name is brushed and made to grow that
way
In his stall the horse is placed with his head
outward and his food is always served at the
stable door from a tub. Among Japanese women
the penchant is 10 sew on laces, cuffs ana frlls
topsy-tuIvey and wrong side out.

SMALL BEGINNINGS.

Bows starting out in life should have dis
tinct aim. a goal upon which their thoughts and
aspirations should be firmly fixed, for IN no
other way is success so assured. History teens
with instances where great men have started
at an early age to acquire knowledge IN the
particular line to which they devoted then
whole life.
Yet an boys who aspired have not risen The
shores Of the sea of life are strewn with the
wrecks OF ambition. And there are hosts OF
others whom circumstances have forced INTO
entirely different channels from those they m
tended 10 follow.
Peter Cooper made a great part of his for

Atlantic cable, yet neither had any such am
bition in their youth.
When the little store in Burning slip bore the
sign. Cyrus W. Field, Rags" the sign on
neighboring store read. Peter Cooper, Glue.
The great fnancier. Jay Gould, started life as a
tanner and surveyor, and Thomas A. Edison
was a train boy and newsboy.
Instances might be multiplied indefinitely OF
boys who have started out to be one thing and
achieved success in something entirely differ
emit and they an point TO the same moral. 1t
is the duty of every boy 10 do what comes 10
his hand TO the best of his ability and bide his
time for greater things.
A boy who aspires TO be a lawyer may grum-

he should remember that il is better TO be
good shoemaker than poor lawyer, and If he
has the stuff in him for a great lawyer, no
shoemakers bench can hold him down.
The tailors trade was no bar TO Andrew
Johnsons ambition, and Abraham Lincoln be-
came a lawyer, although he studied by the light
of pine knot.
No great man has ever despised small be-
ginnings Why should he? As well might
baby refuse to walk, because he at first had TO
creep.
There are few fortunate boys IN the world
who are so situated that they can follow any
trade or profession they please. They have par
ents or relatives who will pay their tuition and
afterwards secure them situations.
With this advantageous start, such boys
should never fail in life, but IT is a melancholy
fact that many do The explanation is prob
ably found in the perversity Of human nature,
that leads us to value only those things for
which we have to struggle. There are notable
exceptions, but as a rule il is the poor boy who
achieves greatness in this country.
But he never will il he refuses 10 begin at

SOUTHERN SHOP
MEN AT WORK
STRIKE ENDED YESTERDAY
MORNING-ALL MEN
NOW AT WORK.
LASTED ONE WEEK
Men All Over America Are Re-
turning and Strike is Prac-
tically Over.

The Southern shop men are al
back at work.
They filled their positions in tn,
shops here yesterday morning and
everything was running smoothly
there an hour after the work hour
had begun and the entire force
tackled with determination the ac-
emulation Of repair work which had
resulted here since the strike began
week ago. The men here returned
to work upon instructions received
from Birmingham Monday, a vote
having been taken last Monday, and
the decision having been made then.
The local strike began on August
the 5th and it, therefore, lasted just
one week. About a hundred men in
the local shops, all Of them, went out,
They went out in order to protect
the men in the Birmingham shops,
who had struck, engines on the Bir-
mingham division and car work be
ing sent here for repairs. Their
strike was most orderly and peace
full, there was no extreme agitation,
and no violence. The men merely
followed the course left open to them
in order to protect the members of
their union in this and other cities.
The end of the strike here and
elsewhere is the result of the Presi-
dents announcement that he woulC
deal with their claim only upon one
condition and that was that they re-
turn to work. Senator Cummings,
of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee. wrote the President letter, in
which he stated that he had ample
glthwity under the law to deal with
the strike and this communication
was transmitted to the strikers all
over the country through the rail
road administration. The President
appealed to the men to go to work
and this appeal was followed by a
strong appeal from the officers of
their unions for the men to go back
They were asking for an increase
from 68 to S5 cents an hour for ma
and as to 60 cents an hour
for helpers, their claims having
been before the railroad administra-
tion wage adjustment board since
last January, with promises that it
would receive consideration from
time 10 time. When the adjustment
was referred to congress for action
the men themselves went over the
heads Of their national officers and
struck.
The matter is now up to the Pres
ident as practically all Of the strik-
ing men over the country are at
work The position Of the President
in railroad circles is construed to
mean that ne viii grant the increase
asked by the men,
