STOnE SIGN s, OORIoUS SOUSES -- VM Xvar s TOILET.-- Otnsu THI,IGS INTEREtaTING 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 e isthe comment of w it the social aril that the Empresa has lately thrown off her nom Portable, airy, loose Japanese gown for the tight stays and the beetle of Mr. Worth, of Paris. The crowd upon, the streets is a a'.ren e eotglomeration of the East and West, 0.10. Japanese has on an English hat and beside hint walks another, his head covered with a wheel of straw as big as a boy's hoop, and fastened around his chin with a attain braid. Both have on Japanese gowns which are open at tbo cheat And tied around the hike ninth a girdle, but the manwith the Amen. eau bat may have bis tett etuok into wooden stilts or Japanese amulets While the ahoos of the other are undoubtedly made fu a European worrkehop. Japaneselrnsbande neatly clad in latest Broadway or Bond street atylea are Bowed . by their wives elegantly dressed in the in the rich eon clothes of the old civili- zltion, and the whole is a strange deliehtfal conglomeration of the picturesque bordering often, npee the beantifsl and now verging upon the ridiculous. 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 would wear himself:out inJapen, and the Jap, ansa bowers seem to never get through. They salaam and salaam and the lower pleases knock their heads against the earth as theygo down on their knees in pay. in their reeota to their sp eriors, It bothers one to be th recipient nof so much• attention and the strangerfeels hie awkwardness when be attem to the Japanese bow, It is, however, nota plea ant, and with it all tbe!lce is lotto servility and fawning, I•am struck 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.

These bare -logged, big hatted men dart here and there throughout Tokio, and they will run their sturdy lege all day for a dollar.

They are In goner - al use all over Jepen, and China ` is fast introduaieg them. I felt rather ashamed at first of using a man as a boaat of burden, but one soon gets used to it and urges the human horse to hurry. The average Jinrikaha costa about $20. 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 I am told, somewhere between 20 and 30 cents a day, and out of this ho paid hie house tent and kept himself and family. horse's tail ftp ae though he lead a chestnut burr metier it, Tee carte are as rude n' the hereese, and in, hot weather there is ai sort of a straw -;netting cover stretched ever the horse by meatus of two Long plea extending out from the (rant of the cert to pratest the hers, from the rays of the ante The &erne is done with the oxen. who here work, as a; rule, alegie or le single file, and are abed, lists the Tzoeaee, with, straw, Animate, how- vary few, ante n)au power tuna the 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.

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."
