This, of course, applies only to the r firms, and to books printed comparatively recently.” AUTHORSHIP IN JAPAN. The Artistic Mani in Which Japanese Hooks Are Gotten Up. The Japanese auther does not write books. Ile paints them. As soon as he reaches the indispensable minimum of ideas he shuts himself in his study, brightened slightly by a soft light from a four nercd white paper lantern. He has before him a polished table, one foot high, on which lie his idyllic writ- ing materials. The paper is of an agreeable yellow and is marked with perpendicular ana horizontal blue lines. His ink is held in arich ebony plate, elaborately carved and with a depression ig which the black tablets are rubbed to nothing. The plate carries also five bamboo brushes which serve as pens. As the spirit moves, says a writer in the New York Sun, the author begins painting at the back end of all the pages that are to swing Japanese hearts and heads, From the left to the right of each page his brown hands sweep the brush up and down the perpendicular blue lines. With inconceivable rapidity the pages are covered with delicate and varied marks from the brush. To a foreigner a volume just fresh from such a hand is one of the prettiest things in the world, and exactly the article to be presented to a friend or patron as an edition de luxe. But the first success of a work in Japan depends so extensive- ly on the artistic execution of the brush that no author would think of letting an autograph work leave hishands. When finished the painted history, poem, or novel is intrusted to a professional copyist, who knows above all others how to paint words with skill. Beside the expertness of such a book painter the scratching of a European pen or the click of a typewriter seems as indeli- cate as splitting wood. The next step of the author with the indispensable minimum of ideas is to send the artistic reproduction of his painting to the engraver, who prepares the blocks, wets them with ink, lays on the paper sheet by sheet, and finally presses it down, so that it may take the figures, with agreat palm leaf pen. The leaves are fastened together, and bound in simple paper covers. Unlike the Western book fancier, the Japanese book fancier cares little for the exterior of his volumes. Ile wishes no orn nt on the binding, aside from the marks of the titie in the upper left-hand cor- ner. The arrangement of a Japanese author | with his publisher is astonishingly s ple. One recently answered the qu tion of a European on the subject thu “Imyseif pay my publisher. I takes all the risk of losses from my works. 1 could not allow, on the other hand, that any one should profit from my labor.” The Meerschaum Coloring Fad. Coloring meerschaums has gone ou fashion, says the St. lo lobe-Dex ocrat. Years ago it was a fad, but so much trouble was required to keep a meerschaum in good condition that most smokers discarded their pipes and took to cigars. A meersch properly colored, needs as tion asa baby. It mu for then the wax co . and the pipe docs not take a proper color; it must not get too cold 1 off suddenly, or it will crac’ not touch it with your fingers, nor smoke it too steadily, nor keep a cover on it while using it, for in either case it . is spoiled.

The remedy for this lies not in the scheol, butin the hor ad in the hands of those who have charge of the home guidance of bright young people. By constantly and judiciously exercising yatchfulness ov their own speech ran Spare their children an amount of ‘subsequent mortification and local hindrance that can se y be esti- mated. The father and the mother make the child's future, and the home— not the school or seminary—shapes the child’s character and molds its traits. If there were less blind faith in the potency of memorized rules of grammar, and more intelligent censorship at home, there would be fewer atrocities of speech perpetrated by well-dressed, well-behaved and seemingly well-in- formed people. Tacks as Weapons. A prick may be less heroic than a blow, but it isapt to be more effectual One hornet will rout a squad of soldiers; and a ready-witted seaman once van- quished a horde of savages with tack nails. In 1819, says the Century, the whale ship Syren. while on a voyage to the Pacific ocean, met with an advent- ure which would have proved fatal to all hands, but Oe ean stratagem of the mate. One fine day, off one of the Pelew islands, all the boats being after whales, and but a few men left aboard the vessel, a large band of armed natives suddenly swarmed over the bulwarks. The crew fled to the rigging, leaving the naked, howling savages in full com- mand of the ship. The mate, on coming alongside, took in the situation at a glance, and quickly ordered the men to open the arm-chests and scatter on deck all the tacks they could find. Ina mo- ment it fairly rained tacks upon the naked savages. ‘The deck was soon cov- ered with these little nails.

They Were Formerly Used as Symbols of Kank. The distinctions of rank which exist in European countries give rise to many troubles which, though they may seem rather amusing as well as_ trivial to us, are in reality quite serious to the persons concerned in them. In Stuttgart. years ago, says an exchange, there existed a curious custom which is not yet entirely abolished, and, in fact, still flourishes quite vigorously in some parts of Germany and Switzerland. This was the use of lanterns of different varieties and sizes, by which, at night, the rank of the party could be easily dis- tinguished. The lanterns were carried by the servants who were sent to escort their mistresses home from places of amuse- ment, and they made the square in front of the Royal Opera-House, where most of the entertainments were then given, quite picturesque with their lights bobbing up and down in every direction. The differences between some of these lanterns were slight, but they had to be strictly observed, or trouble arose. The order of rank, as set forth in the “rank- list,” was something from which they could never swerve. Some had lanterns of tin, some of brass; some had wax lights, and others tallow; even the num- ber of lights was prescribed for each separate class or rank. An amusing story is told by Hack- lander of two Stuttgart women, whose life-long friendship nearly de- ae twhen s the to meet h mistress at peratic e proprieties of life h: and who thoug! deavoring to lay the one a; joners happened & bec ns. They met, they compared cards—as women will—and that rector now wonders why he is growing in dis- | faver with some of his parishioners.
