It la Mam Tented In the Moat Ordinary t'on&ersMt iolia- The yift of the Irish peasant for iiiakinir expressive and humorous phrases is in it b any means a fiction of literature. The use of "pat" phrases is nut u ra 1 to him. A clerical traveler in Cavan not loiiy aro asked a peasant how far it was to a certain villa-re and was answered: "Two miles." "Uhat'. Only two miles'.'" said the traveler, who had before traversed the distance and found ita bm-r road. "Well, your raverence," answered the peasant, "it is two miles shtronr and rich, so to spake!" A somewhat similar story is told by one of Lord Zetland's party, who were iiiakinir inquiries into the condition of a dist resscil district.

Member fledged to War;, a Loveleaa War on the Fair Sex. I accepted an invitation the otherdav to iline w ith a friend at a elub that he assured me was unlike, in some re-sH-ets. any other club in the world, says a New Vork eorresja indent of the Ci-iciiiuati lanpiirer. We went t. Tweiity-niiith stnet and filtered a b. il.Iiny that was not materially dif-fi-reiit iii apM-arauce front a thousand other houses in town that are used a.i residences by the Well to do. The menu cards and the servants button , were marked by a neat nioiioyram of the letters "J. C." My companion set tled himself in au easy chair, and pro ceeded to explain. '" This club." he said, "owes existence to the w him of a very rich man w ho has hardly turned thirty years. He was en yayed. The lady was wealthy, well connected ami moved in th,- same social circles that he did. He was rich eiioiiyh to satisfy any reasonable wom an. Moreover, his character was be yond reproach. "Terhaps he was a little cold in his wooiny. I don't know. He did not know w hat d.-feat meant. Terhaps he unconsciously took it for yraiiled that any woman must find him all sutlicient, and that it would be unnecessary, even lUibecomiiiy. to ply the ordinary lover's art , that are yeiierdlly believed to bo ,o fctchiny with the fair sex. At all events, the yoimy lady one day yave him to plainly understand that he Wouldn't do. She returned his pres ents I don't suppose he had ever w rit ten ln-r a love letter, so she couldn't re turn any burniiiy literature and told him to apply elsewhere for a wife. Con siderably stunned, he could only ex claim: 'Jilted: jilted!" He bouyht this house at first simply with the idea of liviny in it. but one day he chanced across a friend w ho had had a similar experience with the fair sex. ami, after comiiariny notes, they decided to live together to pursue the same line of eampaiyii in society; that is, to make themselves as interestiny as jiossible to women, but never on any provocation to marry. T.cfore long they heard of another acquaintance whose eiiyayciiient had Wen broken by tin- lady, and they took him in. So, little by little, the affair has p row n to its present proportions, a small, but se lect and contented club." "And the initials J. C. mean, the " "Jilted club, exactly. Every mi'iuln r t:it:st have been jilted, and every mem ber is supHsed to enter society freely and play for hearts to take them, bui, never to surrender his own.

Tin yrcater part of the pjeer letters, says tin Columbus Dispatch, are from fanatics, who urge all sorts of rem edial lcyislatiou to correct what they believe to be existiny evils of yovern meiit or the distress that has been brouyht alxuit throiiyh the inaction of congress. The stranyest of all letters was received a few days ayo from a farmer liviny in one of the western states, who ariks for au immediate ses sion of conyress to prevent a strike which In believes imminent among his labon-rs. This farmer says that a year ago he wrote to J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture, for some rare varieties of seed, and also rciUosted that two "gondolas" be forwarded, ai he believed that there was a li.-hl for profitably raising what he termed that valuable variety of animal in his local ity. The seed, he avers, was sent, and two strange looking birds, which have since produced a large thick that prom ises to steadily increase. The ""gon dolas." he says, are troublesome an imals, and early in their career it lie came necessary to employ two laborers, at a cost of two dollars Jmt day each, to care for them. As the number aug mented additional help was required, until now t he farmer has to call to his assistance ipiite a force of men to care for them. These men, with tlm. em ployed around his farm, have threat ened to strike, and the farmer asks that the president call congress in ses sion to remodel this tarilf law so that American labor may compete with cheap Kurocau workingmeii. The "gondolas." the farmer asserts, have been at the lx.ttoiu of all the trouble. THE CROP OF NOVELS. Work of t let Ion 1 orni the Majority of Munu-trrilits Sent to I'lihliahern. Novels form the largest part of the look manuscript received by publish ing houses, says the Philadelphia Times. Out of liai manuscripts re ceived during a recent fortnight by a prominent publishing firm t were novels. In another case 51 out of loo manuscripts submitted dur ing three weeks were novels. This same publisher told me that sometimes the percentage of novels would reach 7a jH-r cent. This tendency for novel writing is undoubtedly due to the fact that the greatest "hits" in the literary world arc made with novels, and this stimulates the average writer to work In this tield. Of all these novels it is plain to le seen from the figures given in the pre ceding paragraph that scores must In written before one is accepted. And even if a w riter has a novel accepted the percentage of success is decidedly against him. Huring this investigation process I selected fifteen recent ly pul lished novels issued by six dilVcn-nt houses and I learned that the entire number printed of these fifteen was 41,oK copies, or -i.7tai copies of each. And in tlii.s fifteen H.UOO copies were printed of one novel really the only successful novel of the lot. It is safe to say that of these fifteen novels the average sale of each will not reach I,tHKI copies. Hut giving that iiuiuUt to each, the novel selling at 1, the author would receive less than tloo for his manuscript, deducting for mutilat ed copies and those sent to the news iiapcrs, etc. I kuow case after case where authors did not receive J5U, all told, as a return for a novel, and some times very much less than thaL TIIE JAPANESE FACE. Prominent Men of Japan Who Resemble Americans. Photoffrapha of Noted ttate and Army Laadera That Might I'aaa for Those of IMatinifuiaued Men, of tha I ultad btataa. The typical face of the Japanese race has become familiar in this country within a year through the pictures printed iu the pajicrs. At first it may have made rather an unfavorable im pression u'Kiu the physiognomists and observers in general, but as xsiple have be come In-tter acijuaiulcd with it through the study of its pcculiarit ies il must have grown in favor. It d lifers from the face of other Asiatic races; it is obviously distinct from the Chines., the Tartar, the Hindoo, the Malay and the Persian face. Itln-ars a nearer re semblance to the Corean face than to any other in Asia. Hut in facial out lines, as iu mental characteristics. tin Japanese are more like the KuroiH-aii races than are any other Asiatic H-opIe. Prof. I'ritlis, of 1 'okio. says that then are two marked varieties of feature in Japan w hich are strikingly portrayi d in their own pictures. These are tin broad, tlat face of the lowest class and the oval face, with full nose, of the higher. Prof, t'ritlis has Ih-cii further led to believe that the Japanese, w host origin has been lost ill ant i.-uit , are a mixture of two separate races, the one of which had extended sout hw ard from Siln-ria, hairy and broad featured, while the other, which approached from the southwest, had the Hindu stani physiognomy and smooth skin. To this day the natives of the chief island. Ni p Mill, regard those of tin lesser island. Yeso. who are called A in. s. as of inferior uality. The face here spoken of as typical of the natives of Japan is that of the well-laim Nip lolicsc. a cople who probably owe their origin o a cross lictweeii the primitive Ainos aud the later comers from India. The face of the mikado, as printed from Tokio jMirtraits of him, says tin New York Sun. is one which, apart from its complexion, resembles that of many Americans who may 1 e scon in the streets of New- York any day. At first glance it seems to have a rat ln-r sullen expression, but when closely studied it gives an idea of intellectual ity, thought fulness, steadfastness, cau tiousness, energy and level-head-dness. It is eminently indicative of the man's character, as illustrated during his long and successful reign. All the fea tures of it are well formed, and the bearing of the head is iu accord with his traits, as known to the world. Any physiognomist, after thoroughly ex amining the iui"-ror'n face and head, would very surely pronounce a uio-t favorab.e judgment ujmui them. Tin face of his wife, the empress, is oal. full of intelligence, kindly, and niiyht be taken for that of a fine-looking American or P.ui'oK-au woman, in so far as form and expression an- con cerned. Vet not. jK-rhaps. as regards complexion, though it is a truth that many Japanese women of rank, who rarely go out of the house, are faircoin plexioned. The premier. Prince I to. the great diplomatist, would pass here for a Col orado senator or a North Iiakota specu lator in town lots. (Sen. Yauiagata looks not unlike the late Kohert Louis Stevenson, novelist. Marshal oyama bears some resemblance to li rover Clevelaud. Viscount M tit so would be tine haiking for a w hite man. Vice Ad miral Ito's double may lo seen iix.n every block on Uroadway any tine afternoon. Ur. I-jk-w, the llowcry "peach." would smile if he saw one of the Japanese portraits in the Sun's col lection of them, and Thomas C. Piatt would smile if he saw another. Tin faces of a group of young Japs in a photograph belonging to the Sun look like those of any group of young Americans at Yale, or Harvard, or Princeton. The typical Japanese face, as draw n anil colored by native artists. U-ar less of a resemblance to the American or European face than when it is photographed, for the met In a Is of Japanese art are peculiar. The real style and spirit of the face are 1-csl brought out by the camera. It is a face that must be studied very closcly and very long and very often by any one w ho would get a proper compre hension of it. or who would seek to gain an insight into Japanese character by means of it. or w ho would attempt to interpret the history of Japan by t In distinctive physiognomy of its jK-culiar people. WHY DCN'f IT WOBBLE? The Karth'a Kalanee Muat Hate ( haneed Slnee t'oiumhua. A New England scientist says there's going to le the dickens to pay if the rest of the Fnitetl States continues to cart away granite and marble from the land of the Pilgrims and Puritans. "It is not unlikely," says he. "that the equilibrium of the earth is already considerably disturln-d, aud that we shall shortly feel a pronounced wob ble." Of course, if there is to Ih a wobble anywhere we would pnfer it in New Englaud. but perhaps the outlook is not so desperate as at first glimpse. The summer rush of Mople to the White niountaius. liar Harlior. New port and a thousand other New Eng land summer resorts must in a very great degree restore the weight which existed lie fort there were quarries in New England. Aud there is another thing. It is computed that there yvere in the west ern hemisphere, when Columbus set foot on it, not more than I.ikkmkki hu man lieings. There are now, at a very low esti mate. lUt.tKHUHKJ. These ltHMKMl.iHH) of additional per sons have increased the weight of the western hemisphere some 5.INHMHH) of tous. in the roundest of iiuiuIhts. Surely there is an opportunity for a wobble in thus state of affairs, ami we ought to be. conscious of it by this time. If there has Wen no wobble an ex planation should W demanded. Some man of science should rise to tell us why we dou't wobble. Nothing is more dreadful, says the Hutfalo Courier, than this uuecrtaiiity w hen aud where the commotion will begin. Probably only those who are holding to the car straps at the time will keen their feet. JAPAN'S EMPRESS tine, nf the leyeresl ri-l Most I'rojjreaa ive tinmen of Her I. .mil.
