vailing feature among this people,
and one which strikes even the
least observant,- is their almost
exasperating sweefc temper. Tt
is well nigh impossible to make
them angry, and a lad3, long resi
dent in Japan, says it is reallv
true that Japanese children are j porting population. But all these

though
not numerous, are cheap and pay
well. The3 are now chiefly
superintended and worked by
natives. Accidents are almost
unknown. From half a mile in
September, 18Gi, the telegraph
lines have grown to 4,000 miles,
worked, by 1,800 employes, of
whom ten only are foreigners. It
would be well for this country if
its jails were put in half as satis
factory plight as are those of
Japan, and in this matter Japan
has borrowed but little from the
foreigner. The most minute pre
cautions are taken to prevent
abuse of authority by prison
officials. The governor of a jail
may inflict no punishment more
severe than the dark cell or
shackles, and this but for a strictly
limited period, -without the sanc
tion of a district court. This
system is carried out with as much
strictness in the most remote
provinces as in the capital. The
vast system thus in little more
than ten years created is directed
and controlled by a cabinet of
thirteen, over which" the Mikado
vigilantly presides, assisted by a
council of the ablest and best
informed men who give advice and
attend to the details of enact
ments made by the cabinet.
Provincial assemblies hive existed

Sffaull, ami cvcislnde. Texas has
137,000 square miles of vacant
lauds. Jn the remaing territory
west of the Mississippi, 1,200,000
areas of drv or Arid regions not!
capable of irrigation, it is shown
that the amount of public land
available for ordinary agriculture
is not large. In fact if is estimated
that in another 3'car it will have
been practically all taken up.
Every quarter section worth en
tering at the land register's will
have been seized upon. "While
the available agricultural land has
nearly all passed out of the hands
of the government, there is still a
great quantity that has not come
under cultivation, so that there are
still indefinite capabilities of de
velopment in the w:i3 of food pro

A Sovereign Waiter.
A Philadelphia beer garden has
for one of its waiters a genuine
prince, the son of Prince Vcronna
de Farrara, who lought as a
general with Garibaldi at Solfcrino.
The 3oung man was reared in the
luxur3 of a Modena villa, and in
his youth became the victim of
indolence and luxurious extrava
gance. He broke his mother's
heart, wasted his fortune in
gaming, and then lived for several
veais unon the indulirence of
friends of better da3s. He married
an American who was thought to
be an heiress, but who was penni
less. He deserted her, joined a
pirate crew, was caught, escaped
and fled to Xew Orleans. There
he tended bar in a wine house;
went to Philadelphia during the
centennial, and has remained there
ever since. It is said thai there
are in the city of Brotherly Love
about twenty-five German, French
and Italian counts, whose lives
would furnish romance enough to
make a hundred books far more
interesting than the wildest fights
of the fiction writers faiicv.

Bill Arp's View of Life.
What a blessed thing it is that
kind nature takes awuy our desire
for f j olio as we giow older and
begin to wear the sear and yellow
leaf. T don't care to dance now
that the spring in 1113' extremities
is none, and them's lead in my 1
shoes; and I don't lament that old i
age is creeping upon me, for 1 have
1 ..!... . I 1
many new pieasuier., ana one 01
these is to look on and see other
people happy. E 11303 your day,
whether it be in 3outli or old nge;
enjoy every la and make the
ino-t of it; get all out of life yon
can. I know people who let the
daik side of life cheat em out of
every ila's happiness, who ponder
and fret over little troubles until
they swell up like dried apples
and get to be bir ones, and they
can't eat or.-leep in peace.
Life to them is a grindstone,
and the grit of it is always cutting
away little by little until theie's
nothing left. Enjoy the day; get
some good out of it even if it's
nothing but contentment for good
health and being out of jail. An
old gentleman of thiee tcore years
and ten was here last night came
five miles just to see the young
people Irapp3' and he was bright
as the full moon, and it was a
pleasure to see him and listen to
him discourse upon life, and how
to live and how to farm, and so on.
lie's seen tioubh enough, good
lier knows, but he never took it
to heart or surrendered his man
hood. Thrift of French Womeu.
Fieneh vromen, often stigma
tized as the most frivolous of their
kind, are in reallt3 the most thrifty,
a virtue that frequently degener
atcs into absolute parsimony. I
saw a striking instance of making
the best of disregarded trifles the
other day, when dining with one
who certainly has a reputation for
prudence. A cherry pic had been
on the table, and the mistress gave
strict injunctions that all the stones
be scraped from the plates aid
placed in her stoi e-room. 1 ven
tured to ask the reason, and was
told that not only cherry, but
plum, peach and all manner of
stones, whether cooked or raw,
were invariabty saved, genth' dried
in the oven, and kept in a great
jar. "Then," said madam, 'in the
winter when the fire burns bright
and clear in the evening, 1 fetch a
handful and throw them among
the glowing coals. They crack
jand splutter for a moment, send up
a brilliant flame and the whole
room is filled with a delicious
odor."
Kings and princes are getting
down nov-a-days to the "same
prosaic, businesslike ways of
thinking and doing as other
mortals. Oscar 11., sovereign of
Sweden and Norwa3, being about
to undertake a joume3 to the
latter country, has had his life in
sured in favor of his family for the
sum of 000,000 crowns.
It is now announced on the
authority of an eminent physician
that it is not healthy to rise before
.eight o'clock in the morning. This
applies only to men. Wives, it is
said, can rise as early as seven,
and statt the fires as heretofore.
Ohailes S. Laurence, in jail at
"Worcester for causing a railroad
disaster, says that he is subject to
fits, and that while ho is under
their influence is impelled to pnt
obstructions on railroad track.
"I can highly recommend the
well known German Remedy,
