AND CORlops..
BY PRANK G. CARPENTER.
The city of Tokio is not down in the get,
graphies of twenty years ago, Now it is
the capital of the Japanese Empire and its
old name of Yeddo is forgotten, The town
• which was for years the city of the Shogun,
the Commander-in-chief of the Japanese
Feudal Amy, has. become the house of the
Mikado and the centre of New Japan. In
it may be seen, better than in any place else,
how this most progressive of the Oriental
nations is putting off its Eaetern cllthea for
those of the West, and it forms the centre of
the struggle of the 'Mongolian and Christian
civilizations. Just midway between the old
and the new, the aristocrat in his European
clothes rides fu his jinriksba, pulled by a
bare legged brother with a /Shaved bead, and

QUEER STOUR SIMS•
The queer Japanese signs over the stores,
great square white board& with black tea -
box characters upon them or black signs
painted in white, have in sotto inetances
English translations to catch the 'European
eye. Here fa one offering: "Oondeneed
Mills' for sale and another affera "Cooks
Itegs of SuperiorQaelity." Here is a liquor
alga atating that the store hue for axle
" Wlae, Beer and Other," and upon the
ghee there .stood for a long time a8ign
which read "Foreign Monkey Jecketa for
Chinese Gentlemen. " Thiel was laughed at
so much, however, that it was taken down.
ee Tokio is a hip city. It is nine miles Ion
and eight miles wide, Over it are eeettered
watch towera for the discovery of fires, and
a view from One of time shwa an immense
plain of one and two story low tiled hautea,
out up by unpaved streets and intersected
with a network of wide canals, It makes
one think of Amsterdam, and the overhang-
ing eaves of the houses, the junk boats sail-
ing through the city and the mon acting as
beaate of burden carry out the idea of Hol-
land. The windenills are absent, however,
but the Bay of Yeddo stretches away In the
distance and the country bas that remarkable
green verdure which makes the Dutch land,
so beautiful. In the centre of tee city may
bo noted specially fano buildings, Some of
them are of modern architecture and others
ar'e reanbliog Japanese palaces. They aro
• surrounded by high embankments on which
the trees grow and these are faced with mane
sive walls of stone, Around the whole rune
a wide moat and this is known as tho castle.
It wan the seat of the F,:udal Government
and in it is now located the new palace of
the Mikado. The immense plain stretching
away on every side is fil ed with houses anti
there aro a quarter of a Inillioa homes lying
below you. Tokio has a million inhabitants
and a guide book of the town states that it
was nothing before the year 1000. It is the
youngest great city of the Eastern World
and it will probably grow under the new re,
gime.
ROSES WITT( MOVABLE SIDIES,
A curious city it is. The streets look
more like 'the bazaars of a fair than the
blocks of a city and their low ridged roofs
rarely cover more than two stories. The
floors are two feet above the ground and the
caves of the roofs overhang so that fully
three feet of the around is sheltered before
the floor begins. The nouns are made of
pieces or elides and during the daytime the
whole front of the lower story slides bank
and yon can see all that is going on within.
The Japanese have no Mae modesty and all
the operations of the family are visible as
you pass along the street.
Y17E YUM AT HER TOILET. •
Picture here an almond -eyed maiden with
a skin of that rich color shown by the
cream of the Jersey cow, sitting flat on the
floor before a little round mirror. Her
dress is pulled down to her waisb and her
upper half is as bare as that of the Venus
de Medici. She primps and powders and
paints her lips red as I look on behind my
tan and wonder, and at last, thoroughly
shocked, as I turn my eyes across the street
I a:e a mother sitting nearly as bare on the
fioor of the house opposite, giving a meal to
a naked three-year-old boy who stands up
and tugs away like a lamb. I start from
the/neighborhood, but the same sights greet
my e; es in every quarter. In one house
sprawled at full length upon the floor I see
the father of a family lying upon his stomach
and kicking up his barelege. About him
play half naked ohildren, 'and on the canals
full grown men scull great boats in the
clothes that Man Friday wore before he
was dressed by Robinson Crusoe. In an•
other house I see the family
cooking nggcin
going
on, and in another.a party is squatted down
at dinner. There is with it all but little
dirt, and the anatomical display on the
whole is not unpleasant.
A OITY \ITHDIIT SLUMS.
The stores and the p•ivacehouses are mix-
ed together and the rich and the poor, to a
large extent, live side by side. There are
oertain portions of the capital populated by
the working classes only, but Tokio has no
alums, and good order is everywhere. The
storekeepers, as a rule, live in their "'own
houses and their box -like shops contain the
goods they sell piled up around them. The
small merchant, as he sits on his heels or
crosses his legs like a Turk, oan reach every
article he has to aoll and his floor is his
counter. His customers sit on it as they
buy, and they are not allowed to enter the
house without dropping their shoes outside.
The ceilings are low and the houses are in
long lies or blocks. Those of the poorer
clans, which are formed of wood, burn like
paper during a fire. Their partitions are
thin, and paper has in most instances taken
the place of glass. Thousands of the houses
look like gigantic sates and vaults. They
have barred windows, and these at the sec-
ond story are closed with doors made exact-
ly like those of the bank vaults, These
The streets of Tokio are not narrow
like those o: China or of the older parts of
European chime. One le not jostled as he
moves along them, and the crowd of slant -
eyed man and women clad in dreasing gowns
of all colors of the rainbow is a good natured
cue, and they laugh and bow low to each
other as they meet. The Japaneseback is
elastic. The India -rubber than at the circus

ansa bowers seem to never get through.

however, nota plea ant, and with it all tbe!lce

with the open, kindly EXpreai41sla Ef the
Japanese face. They seem to treat travel,
hare ate brothers, They welcome them and
are willing to concede that there are other
good things outside of Japan. They are
mealy about it and the only unpleasant
thing is the curiosity which one ex ties
among them. Whenever I walk along the
streets of Tokio a crowd of men and boya
follow me, and if I stop to buy I find that
the street is anon blocked.

Japan is a land made and run by human
muscles. The cattle and horses are few and
human sweat makes J,ipan'e bread, The
mail wagons are pulled by men and the
streets and the cattle grounds are watered
by puah-carte. These are filled with great
buckets which, fastened to bamboo poles,
are dipped by the water carriers into the deep
moats and the water poured into the carts.
Some of the streets of Tokio are watered
with buckets and I naw barelegged and
bare-ohested men carrying two big wooden
buckets of water, each of which, I judge,
held about four gallons. One of these
buckets was fastened to each end a of pole
about four feet long and as thick as your
wrist, and this pole was balanced on the
bate shoulder of the man. As he walked
along he turned a stick which made the
water drip through a number of holes in the
bottom of the bucket. He carried his load
up one side of the street and down the other
and thus laid the dust. His wages were

EVERYTHING DONE BY HAND.
It is human muscle that cultivates Japan.
Cattle and horses are no part of Japanese
country scenes, and an English plough,
which I saw in a Tokio store, was pointed
out as a curiosity. If it is used at all, it
will ptobabably be pulled by men. As it is,
the laud is made fallow with a sort of a
mattock, which is very heavy, and which
has a blade about six inches wide and two
feet long. The rice fields of Japan are liv-
ing monuments of human labor, and every
grain of rice you eat represents a certain
amount of human muscle. The fields muat
be flooded again and again with water, and
thelams are transplanted from their first
growth into rows. p I have seen men and
women by scores bending their backs and
hoeing this rice, and .I am told that their
wages run from 10 to 20 cents a day.
Human muscle carries nearly all the bur-
dens of Japan. Brown -skinned, slant eyed
men andwomen, with baskets containing
several bushels each afpon their backs, pass
by my window as I write, and others follow
with great loads balanced across their
shoulders on long poles. Six-year-old boys
carry two four gallon buckets of water in
this way and*doads of heavy merchandise
are pushed along the roads in carts. Two
or three men are harnessed up in front,
Several push behind with both head and
hands, Their muscles steed out like whip-
cords as they work. The sweat rolls down
their brown skins in streams, and their faces
look out from straw hats as. big around as a
woman's parasol. Their feet are soled with
straw sandals. The few horse -carts one sees Corn Sowing

PRIO 4TEUL SANITMRl; 2.E44I,R0Y,
I stn told that only U. small part of Japan
is cultivated, and the authorities state that
two-tenths of it bas iia yet not been btought
Jute use. Still, the land that I have aeon is
so carefully cared for that thia soome al.
moat imppossible. The country about Tokio
and Yokohama is divided into garden
patches, and there is not a weed is be seen
anywboke.
The soil of Japan le kept rich and deep by
the use almost entirely of the fertilizer of
the water oloatt. Every hit of night soil is
saved and tho sewage is carried in hueketa
and earts and scattered over the land.
Thjty is done nightly, and at certain hours
of the evening Tokio smells worse than.
Naples. There is no system of sewerage in
the oity Save that of surface draivalae, and
itis a wonder to me that cholera and typhoid
fever aro not more often epidemic. The
smells from the fields and the rico paddies
are asbadat certain times of the year as
are those of the city, and Japan has much
to learn regarding sanitary matters. With
such conditions no country can have a pure,
healthy water, and in many of the homes
hero the water closet and the well are side
by side. Foreigners do not, as a rule, drink
the waters of Japan without. having them
firat boiled and filtered. I carry a filter and
an "Icohol stove with me, and I never
touch the water outside of my hotel.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
Speaking of water calls attention to water-
works. Here. is .s city of a million inhabit-
ants and, accordjpg to the census of 1885, of
more than 231U0. houses. Still, of all
these houses not one in a thousand, if any,
has what are called the modern improve-
ments, and there are no water or gas pipes
running through them. The water of Tokio
is not conducted into the houses, but it exists
in wells along the sides of the streets. These
Wells are of wood or stone above the ground,
and there are about one or two to the block.
They are as big around as a small hogshead
sawed off two feet from the top and the
water is drawn from them in wooden buckets
attached to long bamboo poles. One of the
sights constantly before your eyes here is a
semi -naked man or woman tugging at these
bamboo poles to get the water for the hours
supply, and it is from these wells that
the supplies tor the daily baths nee
taken.
Her Opinion on Polities.
" I never used to think it was much fun
to take a girl to a political meeting," said
Willy yesterday, " but the introduction of
the stereopticon into the campaign has
changed all that. I took Fannie to that
Liedertafel Hall speech on Saturday night
and we—or that is to' say I—had a lovely
time. Maybe she did, too—she seemed to."
" Was the speech about the tariff?"
" Speeoh ? what speech ?" " The speech
you went to hear." " Oh, blessed if I know
what it was about. But it was awfully nice
and dark, you know, and I performed a
good deal of lip service before the gas was,
turned up. Fannie declared on the way',
home that she thought politics this year was
juat lovely, and I must confess that I'm
more interested in the campaign this year
than ever before. Yon oan'b give me too
much of stereopticon politics."
