On tho wooden island in tho lairooa that separates tho Horticultural Buildiu from ttio iudy ttrucrtiiro that will hold tho olllciul exhibits of tho Uuitcd States Government thero will bo n cluster of Japanese houc., crecteJ by Japanese ar tisans for thu commissioners of thu land of tho cliryjtutlm num. Wnoa thoso very attractive looking houses are en tirely finished they will be viewed with great iutetcst nnd curiosity by tho visi tors to thu fair, for iu many regards they will be very didcrent from anything that the very great majority ever saw before. But tho process of building was even tnoro interesting than the iiuished housci will be. When the snow was over a foot deep thit winter, nnd visitor to tho worKt were very scarce on iiojount of tho coll, thero was still always something of a crowd nbout tho wira topu th.it was put up to keep visitors away fro:n tho Japnucsc carpenters aud joiners who wcro erecting thu iiousos iu thu island village. The wire rope did not keep bic'.t tha moro adventuresome of tho sight seers, nor wcro thoo who invaded tuc forbid den ground ordered out after they bad goiid whero they had no business to go. Evea a Japanese artisan, though clothed with authority, is too gentlo and kindly and co.irteou in his nature to resent any friendly eucroachmeut upon his rights. Tuose who went withiu tho rope saw unmolested all that was to bo teen, aad owiy rjuettioo that was asked tvai uc- were I m fully as tbo limited Euglish vocabulary of tho workmen permitted. And what bright and nimble folio -vs theso workmen wcro! It may bo that they were picked men, selected for their skill nnd intelligence. It they rcpressnt the average of Japanese itrtisnus, then the average must bu very high indeed. It seems almost u pity that theso carpen ters could not bo kept at work all during tho fair; inch na exhibit would bo as popular as anything within tho ground-. After noting tho nimhleneis of tho workmen uud tho intelligent cxpressioa of th'.'ir faces, together with tao pic tures jueness of their dresi, which see.nl to wustera eyes something liko a uniform, ti.e visitor looks at the work itsjl.'. and is nt oncu struck by it neatness. Even tho temporary bcallolding is neatly und strongly put up, uud tne lumber of which it is male is injured a little) us possible. Instead of being nailed toctiier, this scallolding is lishe l with cord. This is done with a skill that "would inistu even a sailor man turn green with envy. But thouga the Japaneso workm-ja do miny thiug in u way oppositu to tint employed by Europeans, they do not go so tar ns to build thu roots of their houses before makiu; thu foundation.
