As wo approached tlio shoro tlie sea
Ijccamo coveted with fishing junks,
with their strango ldoking nails and
half-dressed crows, writes a Japan cor
respondent of tho Chicago lntcr-Occan.
With thcso'pictiiresiiiio ohjccls in tho
"foreground,- Vrics IhiuiuI nnd itn sniok
ing volcano in thu distance and Fuji
yama towering hock of all, our eyes
fcastcdou a most charming picture,
which was continued with variations
tdl day during oiir sailjup tho Uny of
Yeddo.,
About 4 o'clock wo anchored off
Yokohama and wcro immediately Bur
i ounded .by. a, multitudoofsampans or
nativo bbals. Tho scmi-mido owners
wcro far worso than a'crowdjof Amer
ican hackman in their cfforls to secure
passengers. Thoypullcd"our Celestial
friends about and'grabbed them liko a
pack, of demons ; but wo went quietly
ashore in tho ncatsteamlaunchof tho
Windsor Hotel, and were soon com
fortably located in that hospitablo es
tablishment overlooking tho busy and
crowded harbor.
lint what nro these, beinpa which
como to servo us at dinner t Short,
slightly bowlegtzcd Japanese men,
with black Jersey shirts and panta
loons, the usual nativo socks with a
separate compartment for tho great toe,
and soft sandals held on by a thong
between tho toes. Thoy were verita
ble genii of tho napkin ring, with
cloven hoofs, hairy horns and all, ap
pearing and vanishing as quickly and
quietly as any first-class demon could
do in tho most gorgeous spectacular
play. When wo gavo an order wo
looked involuntarily to seo tho stranco
image turn a back somersault and dis
appear throniih a sDrinc trap in tho
midst of a lycopodium ot flame I
Our amusement thus began at once,
and novcr ceased while wo were in
that curious country. We no sooner
becamo accustomed to one comical
thing than another thing attracted our
attention, and thus we simply laughed
through Japan for four wceks. Fuji-
vimn vana thn onlv ohu'fit which ex-
yama was tho only object which ex
cited any emotion akin to awe or rever
ence. Everything else seemed liko a
play-land, and wo could not overcomo
tho idea that all tho peoplo were mas
qucrading for our hencfit , it appeared
increditahle that they were actually
livinrr. practically and seriously, as
they had dono for centuries.
Tho first Jbing that impressed us
was the' fact that all U19 people iook
precisely liko tho pictures wo have
seen of them all our lives. "Wo havo
never believed this possible, but so true
to naturo aro the pictures tryxt wc fan
cied every one we met bad lust step'
ped off from a Japanese screen, fan or
plate. Even the landscapes endorso
tho artists' works, except in regard to
perspective. Naturo appears willing
to conform herself to Japanese .art in
every particular except that, and there
she rebels. However, wo forgavo her
that fault, for wo found alio had sup
plied everything else represented on
tho bills, oven tho tamo crows and lm
possible hawks with ragged wings.
The children were most entertaining
of all, and most liko their pictures
Tboy are precisely like our Japanese
dolls, and seem liko a lot of miniature
priests with their shaven heads and
comical little robes. From 5 vears old
and upward they carry their baby
brothers and sisters strapped to their
backs, Indian fashion, except that tho
Youngster faces forward instead of
back, and is not so much of a mummy
as tho pappoose, having the free.iisc'bf
its arms.
Tho babies roll around as if fastened
to thoir bodies by a "nniversal joint,"
and they sleep soundly while their
carriers run and play, or elso,"'araiisc
themselves by solemnly estimating tho
number of hairs to tho square inch on
the heads of their fraternal perambu
lators. They seldom cry. "We saw
several million of them, I am sure, for
statistics show tho Japanese nation to
bo increasing rapidly, and only heard
three or four complain that life was in
any way unsatistaclory.
How a Large Firm is Managed.
uno ot the largest.dress-making CS'
tablishmeuts in New lork is kept by
seven brothers, six of whom attend to
tho details of the business in that place,
while ono travels Irom capital to capp
tal throughout Europe, combining and
'changing tho' fashion of each to suit
tho.tastoof tlio American public. In
this 'house tho preliminary measure
ments aro made by a lady, but the cut'
ting andlbasting aro dono by men. A
model is made of the first pattern for
every now customer, and these models
aro carefully kept from year to year,
The skirt cutter is a man ; so, too, aro
tho sleevo cutters and the button-hole
makers, but the "draping is supcrin
tended by a lady, who has that and
nothing else to attend to. No dress
leaves tho establishment until it has
been submitted to the approval of ono
tho members of the Arm, and after
that has been given it is inspected in
detail by a lady who is responsible for
its delivery to tlio customer.
A visit to such an establishment

girl an entire week to complete the
