Japanese Working People's
Home Life and Habits.
As one walks in Yokohama ami To
kio through a multitude of narrow
streets lined with tiny buildings,
writes a correspondent of the Han
Francisco Chronicle, the foreign and
characteristic sir lent to the scenes
presented comes from the fact that in
each separate little open shop some
single workman, like a bee in his cell,
in way so different from our Western
method, is busily plying his trade.
When I had dissembled my wonder
at seeing the dressmaker holding one
end of his seam with his toes; had re
turned the polite bow of a young
cooper who was skillfully utilizing the
same members in his binding of tubs
with vegetable withos instead of
metallic hoops, and had watched with
admiration the wondrous way in which
a basket-maker was helped ont by his
ingenious combination of ambi and
pedal dexterity, I suddenly felt a new
wish. I wanted to see these quiet
and clever working people at home iu
their houses as they actunlly live.
Then it was explained that all the
little shells of open shops lining the
narrow streets and roadways wore
likewise the veritable habitations of
the hnmanity about me. I soon saw
that this was true, and was ever
thereafter fascinated by the endless
glimpses of interiors and studies of the
home life of the common people.
There may be one room or two in
the small domicile; commonly a second
room exists behind the first. A very
email separate kitchen may or may
not be a part of the establishment.
The culinary operations are so simple
in character and tlfo utonsils so
limited that but few feet of space at
best are needed to oontain them.
The partitions being in the form of
sliding panels, all may be thrown into
the shop during the day or otherwise,
as elected. Bo in this country the
worker is still at home to a great ex
tent while he plies his trade, and
factory, stock of goods and shop, as
well as dwelling place, are all under
one roof and appertain to one man.
Down at the hatoba, or dock, in Yo
, kohama gangs of Japanese coolies load
and nnload the steamers in a leisurely,
semi-desultory, casual and happy man
ner all their own. Not a bag or bale
could they lift without their accom
panying song of:
Yoi-toe eor-nb sal-ya,
Yol-toe oor-oli sai-ya.
For just when the heavy emphasis
comes two men sling the weight on to
the shoulders of a third, who trots oft"
with it, and the next two wait for the
chorus to come around again to the
right syllable before they prooeed as
' before. It is jolly, musical and quaint
in the extreme. jjlf the back of the
overseer is turned for a moment all the
industrious laborers will sink on their
heels and light their pipes, which look
like a penholder with an infinitesimal
thimble bowl at the end. , ,
' At the other side of town are the
great tea-llring go-downs, redolent,
blocks away, of the subtile herb. In
side, in rows, are the big firing caul

them is a man .or I boy. Presently a
song starts np, .'and fitfully pulsating
throughout the great btulaiuglt echoes
in a sort of primitive or elemental wild
harmony from

given in the middle of forenoon, and
afternoon, as at noon, an interval for
resting and eating, and many babies
on the backs of small brothers and sis
ters wait about the tea-ilring places
that at the regular hour, they, too.may
partake of refreshment.
This interval of rest is so elastic In
its application that there seems hardly
an hour of the day when one group or
another of 'ricksha men by the road
side, of boatmen in the canal, of coolies
in the go-down compounds or of crafts
men in the shops may not be soen
gathered, seated on their heels, about
the little charcoal fireboxes, plying
their chopsticks in small lacquered
bowls and square wooden boxes of
cooked rice.and drinking tea from cups
like goed-sized thimbles. Besides the
dressmaker and tailor, the cooper nnd
the basket-maker are other artisans
pursuing their avocations in quite as
queer ways. The carpenter hacks at
his boards with a sort of rough adze or
stands on them and saws them with
what looks like a notched butcher's
knife set in a long handle, or plaues
them carefully toward him. The man
in the rice mill ignores belts and
wheels ami machinery generally, and
jumps all day on the end of
a plank, a cog or weight in the other
end of which pounds away at the
grains. The lautern-maksr and the
timbrel la-maker sit patiently tying and
pasting their frail wares, the stock in
trade slowly piling up, day by day, be
hind them. Lonely men, each in his
little booth, make the thick straw mats
or sections of flooring for the native
houses. Boys work deftly, tossing
shuttles back and forth that weave or
tie the bamboo window blinds.
I watched an actual boy with warts
on nis lianas, at work alone in an
open doorway, on a great square of
pale blue silk on which he was em
broidering without model or copy the
most exquisitely shaded pink roses.
Little girls sitting on the floor hem
stitched silk handkerchiefs and made
the fragilely beautiful drawn and em
broidered grass-linen work. A couple
of blue men, with hawk noses and
severe countenances, like American
red men gone a wrong color, bobbing
about among their indigo vats, will be
the whole visible works of a big dye
ing ctUblishinent,, In front of six
shops, young men with simple appli
ances, working in the dust of the
roadway, jostled by 'ricksha men and
ball-throwing youngsters, reel off silk
into skeins or quickly twist it, in a
sort of wayside ropewalk, into varie
gated silken cords.
rerliaps the nioBt interesting of all
are the women in small, open rooms
who sit all day at primitive frames
throwing by hand the shuttles in and
out that weave the web of silk or cot
ton, it is a pretty ana poetical way
ol achieving the luurio we are to wear.
I can but contrast the lives of these
quiet workers in their open doorways.
under the blue of heaven, their eyes
sometimes wandering away with pleas
ure to the shuting street panorama
before them, with those of the thrice
wretched seamstresses, factory hands
ana sweat-shop women in our own
cities. It is smull misfortune to be
bare-limbed, perchance; to wear cheap
cotton, to eat only rice, in a land
where the fashion for all, even the
well-to-do, is not widely different. I
have seen the weary and old eounten
auces of little children and the bard
ones of young girls, thronging out of
our mills and manufactories, but these
better faces of the Japanese women at
their band looms are less hopeless,
And I would that this callous, hurried
scrambling world had time to weave
its textilos all in the old way of those
early ages when so much sorrow was
not.
There seems nothing grim, over'
severe or orusbing about Japanese
labor. It is essentially sociable and
oheerful. Every third shop is a plaoe
of eatables, where not sweet potatoes,

delectation of the workers. But this
is not enough, and men with vans and
boxes of oooked food perambulate the
streets still more conveniently to re
fresh the toiling masses. The meager
coppers so scantily earned jingle all
day right merrily into the pockets or
pouches of the caterers.
Babies are everywhere swarming
about, afoot and aback, with their
share of the good things going. No
body seems ever to startle and depress

them with "You mustn't do that,"
"You can't have this," "You mayn't
go there." Among the common peo
ple, at least, there is no sequestering
of women; they, too, are everywhere,
cheek by jowl, halping and doing, ap
parently, as freely as the men. If it
is only a wooden tub which they have
to scrub out, girls with bare feet and
arms, elaborately dressed hair and
clean and pretty blue and white kim
onos, are apt to bring it out on the
sidewalk and scrub away gregariously
for the next half hour or more.
Unloading great stones from the
sampans in the canals, women work as
cheerfully, lustily and effectively as
the men. They share, seemingly on
equal terms, in tho small shop keep
ing, and help in all the labors of the
various avocations. I don't see how
ono of these men can have any secrets
from his wife or escape her society on
the pica that business will detain him
at the store. If business did, he would
probably find her there before him, as
much at home as in the kitchen or
nursery, which apartments, in truth,
seem to be pretty well done away with;
and if she wasn't there in person, at
least all the other women on the block
would be in the near vicinity, able to
supervise his movements.
Living is reduced almost to its sim
plest elements here, where a single
garment will do for a covering, and
that, if necessary, for years; where a
few cents worth of rice, pickled vege
tables and driod fish make an appetiz
ing and satisfying meal, and where a
single bare room for diuing, for guests
and tor sleeping is practically all that
is required by even ambitious house
holders.
In Japan tho poorest people are not
without their comforts and conveni
ences. Cooked foods, so cheaply pre
pared in public kitchens, have been
mentioned. Milkmen nnd other pur
veyors aro in almost every block, with
their goods in smallest packages if de
sired, for the fractional copper cur
rency. The housekeeping is the
easiest, and at the same time the dain
tiest, in all the world. No dust and
dirt ever are brought in to tarnish the
fair white floors. The low-oeilinged,
empty rooms and narrow verandas are
readily brushed and washed each day.
Tho mats on which the poor man sleeps
are as soft as those of the rich.
Bathhouses in the neighborhood,
too, are frequent, where the tired
mother and all her fretful progeny,
wearied by the heat and the hours of
work, at the close of the day enjoy
their regular evening hot and cold
water plunge and splash.
The improvidence of these people
probably is in no danger of being ex
PRINCESS HELENE
ITALY, MOST
When the Crown Frinoess Helene visited the English court during the
Jubilee festivities at London she was aooorded the palm as the peerless beauty
of all the handsome women of the blood royal present at the functions'. She
is tho daughter of the Prince of Montenegro, aud was reared in her father's
mountainous principality, to whloU she owes her exquisite complexion and
regal cartage. Her husband, the Crown Prince of Italy, is her opposite in
nersonal aonearance. beinir weak, small and bilions-Jookinff. and rumor has
It that only her father's poverty led her

combined with her very shy. modest
brought before the people, have made
aggerated in the telling. It is doubt
less quite true that the impoverished
'ricksha puller or factory operator
pawns his bed daily to buy his break
fast, and after earning enough to re
deem the futons before night,reckless
ly expends in riotous living in the ten
sen eating houses the whole balance
of his capital, He looks as if he does
all that lie is accused of in the way of
ever patching his blue kimono instead
of buying a new one, in living in one-yen-a-raonth
houses, and of handing
down to his descendants only the same
pots and kettles, without a single ad
dition thereto, which he in his day in
herited from his parents. Bnt that he
is to any extent unhappy, miserable
and wretched over it I very much
doubt. I have watched him singing
(and lingering) at his work, end going
home at night in droves, still cheer
fully sociable, solaced with his tiny
pipe and fairly hilarious over the
least morsel and drop of rice and
oheap siiki. I have gone with him
to his matsurl, or festivals, and I
know how often they recur and
how light-hearted they find him.
I have stood with him to langb
at the fun-makers and dancers at the
frequent street celebrations and local
tetes,and I don't believe there is much
rancor nud bitterness to his poverty.
Besides, his wages are going np.
Guilds he has had always, and he is
learuingabout strikes. l)ock laborers
get eighty cents a day now, where
formerly they received nearer to eight.
Considering their lalior capacity and
the cheapness of their living.the former
is not a bad wage. 'Ricksha charges,
those for laundry work, and of vari
ous craftsmen (as all the dyers in
Osaka, who have just procured them
selves a twenty-Ave-per-cent. raise),
the wages of house servants and the
salaries of policemen and other officials,
all are slowly and steadily increasing,
and the explanation is that the wants
of life are on the increase, meat is be
ginning to be eaten, wool is coming to
be liked for clothing, some simple lux
uries are now understood and desired,
and so the time is to come when the
workingman of Japan is to have rather
more of the conveniences nnd neces.
sariesoflife to buy, afld considerably
more money with which to purchase
them. At least that is considered the
trend of affairs at present.
German Carp Is ITnpopnlnr.'
If a fish dealer depended upon tho
sale of German carp for a livelihood he
would starve in double-quick time.
That particular member of the fish
family is several hundred thousands of
miles away from the pinnacle of popu
larity, and there is nothing these days
to indicate that it is going to decrease
the distance. German carp are quoted,
wholesale price, at a penny a pound.
"How in the world do you manage
to make anything out of them?" asked
tna inquisitive buyer of the fcsoutu
Water street fish dealer the other day;
"I don't see where it pays to handle
them."
"It really doesn't pay to handle
them, nor does the fisherman who
catches them make a fortune out of
his business," said the fish dealer.
"Just imagine what the fisherman
makes when we are supposed to sell at
a profit at a penny a pound. He
wouldn't do right well even if he bad
a good business. Gorman carp are far
from being entitled to recognition as
fine fish. They ore coarse in flesh,
and it is an impossible matter to refine
them. I handle them because there
are some people who buy them from
me. It is not that I sell them for
reasonable profit, bnt merely as an ac
commodation. " Chicago Eecord.
"Do yon think you can accustom
yourself to Klondike cooking?"

prize at Vassor for her paper-weight
biscuits." Cleveland Tlain Dealer.
