VARIOUS PRODUCTS EXPORTED

People marvel at the cheapness of the
,Tapanese rugs which have been thrown
on the market in such quantities during
the last two or three years. The secret of
it is that they are made in Japan, and
the laborers employed in their manufac-
ture are children. This is a new industry
in the Empire of the Mikado, and the
center of it is the city of Osaga. The
carpets are of all patterns and of every
length and width. Many of them aro most
excellent imitations of Turkish and
Egyptian rugs. Tho materials employed
are hemp and cotton.
The United Status Consul at Osaka
s in a letter addressed to the Depart -
of State, that all of these carpets
ade by children. In the low -studded
roomy rooms of the Japanese houses
s' of little boys and girls work at
dusty trade all day long. The little
keen ...and workwomen are almost
the standard of modesty in Japan
being different from that whioh is accept-
ed In the : United States, even for grown
people. The workers get from 3 cents to
10 cents a day, which is pretty good pay
in the Orient. Wages vary with the intelli-
gence and aptitude of the young ern-
, ployes Most of the rugs and carpets
Which they make go to the United
s'- States In 1884, $927,000 worth of them
were imported into that country.
Within the last few years the Japanese
have become great paper -makers. The
paper they manufacture is the very best
on the market for fine typographical
Prints and engravings It is very strong,
and is turned to a surprising variety of
'uses., It is made from the best of three
species of plants chiefly, whioh are known
" as"rnitsnmata," "kozo,"and '•gampi."
These plants grow on poor soil that is
unsuitable,, for other purposes, and for
this reason :paper -growing is important
to the agricultural interests of several
large districts. From paper, the Japan-
ese make rich imitations of leather for
Walla, as well as heavy oil -papers, whioh
to an extent serve as a substitute for oil-
cloth. It is said that the consumption of
paper is the measure of the civilization
leferseepereple, and so it means something
ril say that the Japanese use about 50, -
000,000 pounds of paper annually for
their owil purposes.
The consumption of tobacco in Japan
'is enormous. In that, country the women,
os' well as the men, are great smokers.
The,tobacco is light yellow in Dolor and
bas .a sweet taste. Owing to the cheap-
ness of labor in the fields, it is sold at a
low price, end a good deal of it is export-
ed to England, Hong -Kong and the
' 'United States Cotton -growing is a rapid-
ly developing industry in Japan. Textile

in that country are extremely fond of
pickles, and in this shape they prepare
alt sorts of vegetables, particularly a kind
of turnip that has the shape of a radish
and grows to a length of three feet. The
culture of peppermint in Japan bas great-
ly increased in Tato years, owing to the
demand for peppermint oil and menthol
crystals. Germany is the principal buyer.
The foreign commerce of Japan in 1894
exceeded that of 1893 by 30 per cent.,
reaching $280,000,000. The exports of tea
from Yokohama alone exceeded those of
the preceding year by 1,00u, 000 pounds.
The outbreak of the war with China
brought an unexpected demand for tea
from the United States and Canada,
probably on account of a notion that the
conflict would be likely to interfere with
shipme nts.
Six Dollars for a Wife.
A very romantic story comes from
Summerville, Chaattanooga county. Some
days ago a couple arrived in that city evi-
dently in the first stage of a violent case of
conjugal affection. Their loving tend-
encies and conspicuous caresses attracted
the attention of the steady -going citizens
of that model mountain town. They could
be seen in the gloaming out strolling to-
gether, and the precincts of Cleghorn
spring were rendered still more picturesque
by their presence. Married folk took it
for granted that -they were enjoying the
first fruits of love's young dream, and
simply passed by on the other side and
made wry fades. The single folk blushed
And giggled and possibly wondered if it
were always thus. The couple registered
as Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Thurston, Knox-
ville, Tenn., and the people of Summer-
ville naturally supposed that their conduct
was but a fair sample of east Tennessee
married life.
Late one afternoon a weary looking In.
dividual alighted from a train from Chat-
tanooga and walked hurriedly up to the
hotel. He scanned the fades of these he
passed very closely, as if he were looking
for some one he expected to find. From
the few inquiries that he made people
learned that he was in search of.a wife,
and that he had not resorted to the usual
method of putting a notice in the strayed
or stolen column, but had started out on a
personal search. -
Mr. and Mrs. Thurston had been onti fol
a customary stroll,and just as they rounds
ed a corner they were confronted with the
stranger in search of a wife. He had
found his wife, but, unfortunately, she
was in the hands of her friend. Expecta-
tion was on tiptoe for blood -and -thunder
denouement, and from various coigns of
vantage, in the shape of dry goods boxes
and sycamore trees, behind whioh they
had ensconced themselves, the townspeople
peered anxiously, awaiting the signal for
open hostilities. But they waited In vain.
Those nearest caught the fragments of a
spirited conversation, in whioh the hus-
band reproached his recreant sponse with
her faithlessness in deserting his bed and
board. She retorted that he had not treat-
ed her nice and that she had found a hand-
somer man than be whioh was indeed the
God's truth whpgglrie two men were com-
pared. Mr. Th sten then began to par-
ley with the rueful husband and tried to
effect a compromise. The husband de-
manded $10 damage, whioh he thought
was too high, considering that he had al-
ready won the affection of the wife and
was in possession whioh was nine point(
in the law. He offered $5. Then there
was a lot of jawing and haggling until
they finally compromised on $8, whioh the
intiterloper paid the forlorn husband, and
the latter took the next train for Chat-
tanooga, probably proud of his bargain,
The couple also t ok their departa for

Prepared For Death.
"In the Petersburg compel en I saw an
example of the cool, deliberate courage
with which our mon were wont to face
death. I never saw a better instance, in
fact. It was on the evening before a fight
whioh we k new was going to bo a desper-
ate one, and which proved to be just as
fierce as we had expected it would be. I
was going through the camp the night
before the battle, and I noticed nearly
all the mon sewing. Ordinarily, I would
have thought little of seeing a group of
soldiers patching up their army clothes.
In this case, however, pretty much every
one was sewing, and all seemed to be
performing the same task of sewing some
sort of a piece into the breasts of their
ooata My curiosity was aroused, and I
asked one of the men what it was all
about.
" 'Nothin' much, sir,' said the soldier,
saluting 'only tbo boys allow that we're
going' to get it hot to -morrow, an' they
are just sewing their names into their
coats so that if they go under, as a good
many of us will, sir, some one can tell
who we are. That's all, sir.'
"That was all. It may not seam much,
but I shall never forget those brave lads,
who, laughing, singing and joking, were
sewing into their coats their names, so
that their dead bodies might be recogniz-
ed when the killed and wounded were
gathered up.
"There was not a man among them who
did not know that he was face to face
with death, but as I watched them there
In the gray of the evening not one of
them seemed to think of it despite the
grim and suggestive task on whioh they
were engaged.
A School House on wheels.
In Madison County, Ky., there is a
school house built on wheals When
night comes a pair of mules pulls it to
the home of filo trustee, and the next
orning it is drawn bank to its daytime
location. The mules go and come on
schedule time, and if the school be a lit-
tle slow about dismissing in till)after-
noon, the whole outfit is apt to o given
a free ride. A day's supply of water and
wood is put aboard by the trustee every
morning before the school house sets out
upon its journey. The teacher boards
with tho trustee, anel needs no carriage.
At night a bull -dog is chained beneath
the little frame building, and a bad man
armed with a Winohestor sleops insldo of
it. Ali of this, it is said, came about
because some one threatened to burn the
school house. Why the trustee did not
have the building Ionated in his own
