I have had an interesting conversation with my hairdresser about the character- istics of the ladies of the many national- ities on whom he operates. The American, though so fully emancipated, has, he thinks, no originality. She assimilates everything and originates nothing. In “Paris—and, for that matter, in New Yo®k —her get-up is exactly modeled on that of the Parisienne. When guided by a model, she has taste. But she is dependent on a model. Her quickness and sharpness in se- lecting merchandise are to be noted. The Englishwoman is fond of simplicity — too fond, perhaps. She timidly follows the Parisienne in her coiffures, and pays well and cheerfully. She is always afraid of what Is suggested ‘not suiting her,” and has no ilea what does suit her. She is not hard to please: yet, at bottom, she is never ERSONALLY dec- in consideration of the benefits derived from Extract in the Imperial Household, and said: “It affords me great pleasure to decorate you Beware of imitations.

She is helpless in the hands of her hairdresser, and has no suggestions to offer. It may be that her national head- dress has prevented taste running on the coiffure. The Russian lady has soft, quiet manners, but scans bills with a suspicious eye. The Italian lady is a bad payer, hard to please, stingy, and never more than half satisfied with a Parisian coiffure. She will write from Italy for a dozen imitation tortoiseshell hairpins costing three sous apiece. She had them at that price in Paris, and does not calculate the loss of time, and money, too, that is incurred in sending them by a well-paid assistant to the district post office. He may have to stand there half an hour before his turn comes in the waiting queue. Five francs for the ball-room coiffure is not thought too much to ask of a chance customer. An Italian lady will protest against it as though she had fallen into the hands of thieves who wanted to rob her. The Roumanian ladies are the sweetest and most tasteful in Europe. Their manners are, perhaps, better than those of the best Parisiennes. They have in youth splendid hair, and know how to dress it, or how the coiffeur should arrange it. It is a pleasure to receive their hints. Somehow they man- age to pay their bills regularly. The hereditary princess is a customer of my coiffeur. He can show a charming letter from her to say that all the things he sent her were exactly what she wanted. Her payments are made by return of post. This is. less usual in her class than might be imagined.

From the Chicago Record. “I believe,” said a country banker, “that at least 5 per cent of all notes that go through our bank are forgeries. There is a curiously loose notion as to the crime of forgery, and again and again I have had men propose to sign to a note the name of a neighbor who was at an inconvenient dis- tance. In such cases it was well known that the man whose name was to be forged was willing to go upon the note, but I have no doubt that wealthy men’s names are constantiy used upon notes that they never saw. The notes are taken up by the payee, and nothing is heard of the forgery. For h forgery detected there are many er come to light.

CHEAP LABOR AND ECONOMICAL LIVING Expected Opening Up of China and the Boom in Japan. PHASES OF TRADE (Copyrighted, 1895, by Frank G. Carpenter.) HE REPRESENTA- tives of a number of big American syndi- cates are now on their way across the Pacific to investigate the possibilities of investment and spec- ulation in China, Corea and Japan. In addition to these, I hear of scores of individuals who pro- pose to go to China and Corea in order to be able to take advantage of the changed conditions consequent upon the carrying out of the new treaty, and a number of old schemes will probably be revived. I have met a dozen young men lately who have told me that they were about to start to Asia in order to get employment as mechanics or engineers on the new railroads, and I receive letters every day as to the chances for Americans and American investments in these coun- tries. The situation is undoubtedly big with possibilit: It is, however, far dif- ferent from what people believe, and in this letter I will attempt to give some- thing concerning it. The indemnity from China will probably create a boom in Japan, and especially in Tokyo, the capital. When the Franco- Prussian war was concluded every Germa thought the money paid by the Frenc1 would all be spent in Berlin, and the people rushed by the thousands from all parts of the empire to take advantage of it. Berlin in 1860 had less than 500,000 people, and be- fore she went to war with France she had only 750,000. Three years after the settle- ment of the war her population numbered 968,000, and in 1880 she had already more than 1,000,000. She has now, with her sub- urbs, nearly 3,000,000, and she stands next to London among the great cities of the world. The war was succeeded by an era of speculation in Berlin. Stocks and real estate jumped upward, and it was so until the panic of 1873, when there was a col- lapse. ‘The city soon recovered, however, and it is now one of the most prosperous of the world. The same thing will be re- peated in Tokyo. Prices will advance, and real estate is bound to go up An era of speculation will probably follow, and the man who goes in now and sells out quicic will probably do well. The seaports have been steadily growing, and real estate in these ought to be good. Take, for instance, Yokohama. It was a fishing village when Commodore Perry first came to the country. It has now a Population of more than 100,000, and it is a town of water works, gas and newspa- pers. Electric Railroads. Tokyo has now more than 1,000,000 people, and the probability is that it contains mo-e than a million and a half. It is only four- teen miles from Yokohama, through a thickly settled country, and an. electric railroad built between the two points would undoubtedly pay. At present there are no electric railroads in Tokyo, and there are no street car lines in Yokohama. The field for electric rail- roads is practically uncultivated, and by the new treaty it would be possible for Americans to engage in such werk outside of the treaty ports. Take the town of Osaka, in the ceitral part of the empire. It has, with its suburbs, 1,200,000 people, and there is not an electric railroad in it. It les sixteen miles back from the sea- coast, and it Is connected by railroad with the town of Kobe. Kobe was very small at the time that Japan was opened, but by the census of 18%) it contained 136,000 peo- ple. An electric railroad between Kobe and Osaka ought to pay. This part of Japan 's one succession of villages, and only a few miles west of Osaka is the great city of Kioto, which was for years the capital of Japan, and which is now as big as Washington or Cleveland. If an electric line were stretched from Kobe to Osaka and thence on to Kioto, it would strike vil- lages at almost every mile of travel, and it would accommodate a population of fully 2,000,000 of people. The Japanese are great travelers. They make long excur- sions over the country to visit the most sacred temples and shrines, and I met hun- dreds of families walking along the roads from one sacred point to another. The railroad cars were well filled, and these electric roads would pick up many parties out on these trips of religion and pleasure combined. As to the electric light field, that is also great. The 40,000,000 people of the Japanese empire live, to a large ex- tent, in vHlages and cities. There are few gas plants, and the chief lighting is done with coal oil. Electric lights could be put in without much expense, and in the large cities at very low rates. The telephone is rapldly coming into use. There are a large number in Osaka and Tokyo, and the rates for service in the Japd.ese capital are $35 in silver or $17,50 in gold per year. Japan as America’s Factory. There will probably now be an increased demand from Japan for American goods. The country already takes $14,000,000 worth of American raw cotton every year. It has been buying, and will continue to buy, American machinery, but the great trade between America and Japan in the future is to be In shipping American raw mate- rials to Japan and bringing back Japanese products to America. The money to be made by Americans will be largely through their better knowledge of the American markets and American needs. The Japan- ese can make anything that we can. They can produce what we need at a less cost than we can make it ourselves, and unless a high protective tariff is raised against Asia, that country will become the factory for America. The actual necessities of a Japanese laborer are not more than 25 cents a day. Our laborers cannot live on less than a dollar a day, and 25 cents in ten hours will beat from $1 to $3 and eight hours every time. A Japanese laborer’s house can be furnished for $10. He sleeps on the floor and uses neither tables nor chairs. His cooking stove is a clay oven worth about 50 cents, and his carpets and bedding cost practically nothing in com- parison with ours. There are 65,000,000 peo- ple in the United States. At five to the family this would make 13,000,000 families. Hardly one of these families has a cooking stove which eost less than $10, or $9.50 more than the Japanese has to pay for his.

I have already nm of the Japanese candy. They have oné kind made of rice and wheat which i8*good for dyspepsia, and which any child‘ean eat without the stomach ache. This tould be imported and sold like the’ digestive ichewing gum. It is furnished sometimestin the form of syrup, and with it on the table we could keep our livers in order and stijl have the luxury of buckwheat cakes in midsummer. The Japa- nese make a very cheap black varnish which might be imported at a profit, and they have the softest. and most beautiful papers known to the world. I know of one bright American who made a fortune out of little Japanese boxes. He bought these by the hundreds of thousands, shipped them to the United States and filled them with tacks. The tacks were sold at the regular price, and the women bought them in pref- erence to other brands, in order to get the boxes. There are numerous other things of this same nature that might be done. One thing is in the making of clock cases. Such cases as we have from Germany and France made in porcelain are very high- priced. The Japanese could produce these very much cheaper, and they could make earved clock cases which would seil at high prices. I mention these things merely as indicative of the vast field which is now open to America in Japan. Remember, the Japanese can do anything that we can do, and if you show him a picture of anything under the sup he can copy it. He is pack- ed full of ideas bimself, and he is an in- ventor as well as an imitator. From now on he will want more foreign clothes and more foreign machinery, and America ought to supply a great portion of his needs. The Chinese Market. The settlement of the war will bring about a great change in China, and from now on the empire will probably be slowly but steadily opened. The making Nanking a treaty port will give a new foreign set- tlement at that point, two hundred miles up the Yangtse-Kiang. The government will be obliged to cede a certain amount of land here to the foreigners, and a little foreign city will spring up at this point, such as have slready sprung up at every open port. In Canton there is an island which is given up to the foreigners. At Hankow the foreign concession covers, I judge, at least a square mile, and at Shanghai many foreigners have made for- tunes out of the rise of the real estate in the foreign cone ion. There are. foreign settlements at Tientsin, at Kiukiang and at Chinkiang, and in these property is worth much more than in the Chinese cities them- selves. ‘These concessions are governed by the foreign consuls, and the Chinese like to obtain property within them-if they can,- as this frees them from the exactions of the Chinese officials and puts them under foreign law. These concessions are much like foreign cities. ‘They have modern houses. Their streets are macadamized, and they are kept in order by being smoothed with heavy rollers which are drawn by hundreds of Chinese. They have their own policemen, and are by all odds the most desirat le places in China in which to live. The city of Nanking is about five miles back from the river, and is one of the richest cities in China. It was for years the capital of China, and it Is in the heart of one of the richest of the Chinese prov- inces. The foreign concession may be on the river, or it may bejon the edge of the city. Wherever it’ is, the land {s almost certain to increase in value, and an invest- ment in It ought to, beigood. China and Military Supplies. ‘Those pest posted on| fhe Chinese charac- ter say that this war will be followed by a great military activity throughout the Chinese empire. New gunworks will be at once started. A new,mavy will be con- structed, and there will be a great demand for all kinds of machinery for the making of arms and the munitions of war. There are now more than 2,000 men at work in the shops at Shanghaii An equal number are probably employed:in the gunworks at ‘Tientsin, and the Foochow shipyards be pushed to thefr utmost capacity. The Chinese have seen their necessity for rail- reads, and their dack of ability to move their troops without. them: The first road to be built will prabably be one from Tient- sin to Hankow, and thence to Canton. ‘This has been planned for years, and it will tap a territory containing hundreds of millions of people. The work of getting such con- cessions will be slow, and it is very doubt- ful whether foreigners will be allowed to build railroads. If they should be permit- ted to do so, the field for electricity and steam is practically unlimited, and such a revolution in railroad building and manu- sturing will take place as will turn the remainder ,of the industrial world upside down. I don’t believe the Chinese will do this at present. They move slowly, but it will come eventually. They will, however, have a great trouble in raising the money to pay Japan, and there is no telling what may be squeezed out of the government at this time. Think of cities of a hundred thousand, five hundred thousand and a million within a few miles of each other. Think of a country as big as the United States and containing about eight times as many people with no railroads whatever and no decent wagon roads—a country in most places as flat as a floor and well fitted for railroads without grading, and you have somethirg of the condition of China today. It is 2 country which has four thou- sand walled cities and countless villages. A country where locomotion is expensive and where the people squeeze money hard- er than they do anywhere else in the world. There is no land on the globe where cheap transportation would pay better. The har- vest is ripe for the speculator and the in- vestor if the fence of Chinese conservatism and exclusion can be torn away. Take Pe- king, with its million and a half of people. It has not a line of street cars._ Tientsin, eighty miles away, has a million of people, and is one of the ‘great trading centers of | the empire. Those who ride go about in chairs, carried on the shoulders of men, and all goods are carted around on whe barrows. ‘Tientsin supplies Peking with goods, and there is no railroad between them. It is the same all over China. Cotton, Lumber, Wheat. The Chinese are beginning to make their own cotton. They have a number of large factories, and Li Hung Chang proposes to build others. In these they have modern machinery. A great part of the cotton used is made by hand, not more than one-fif- teenth being imported. Our cotton cloths are more popular than the English or the native cottons, but they cost too much, and herice we send but little manufactured cot- ton to China. The market, however, is enormous. One of the consuls made an es- timate of it not long ago. He said that the Chinese are clothed principally in cotton. There are at least four hundred millions of them, and they use about twenty yards apiece every year. This would make a con- sumption of eight billion yards a year. ‘The Chinese are row using quite a lot of American lumber, The lumber comes from Oregon and Washington, and it goes as far north as Peking. I saw American pine ‘in the lumber yards of Japan, and I met aman who was try- ing to introducei:it into eastern Siberia. During my stay im /aldivostock an Amer- ican ship loaded with California wheat was lying at the wharves, and quite a good deal of our flour is now used in China. Strange as it may seem,to many, rice is an expensive form of food, there, and in the north many of the people are too poor to eat it. There are no hig flouring mills in China, and even in the big city of Canton, which, you know, contains about 2,000,000 people, I saw oxén grinding flour by drag- ging one stone about on_the top of another. Chinese Lnbor. It is impossible'to appreciate the fortunes which are sure to come sooner or later to some one out of Chinese cheap labor. Re- member, their labor is .as good as ours. I saw a locomotive which they built at th~ gun works near Shanghai which looked as well as any turned out in our shops, and a Chinese engineer was operating it. He got about 25 cents a day. I saw men making everything under the sun.for wages about one-tenth of what the same class of labor receives in the United States, and the En- glishman in charge told me that it required only a few months to make a good me- chanic out of an ordinary Chinaman. When the Chinese appreciate that they can manufacture for the world. The coolies and the men who are now working on the roads could be put into the fac- tcries ard the people will become a nation of mechanics and manufacturers. At pres- ent they toil from ten to twelve hours a day for wages which would hardly sup- pert a dog in this country. I have before me a list of wages given by Dr. Bedloe, when a consul at Amoy. Here are some of them: Barbers get $3 a month; beatmen, $4; _bricklayers, $5; masons, $6; laundry- men, $4, and pavers, $1.50 per month. The plumber is a rich man in America, but he is glad to receive $6.25 a month in China. Printers receive $9 a month; tanners, $6 a month; telegraph operators, $24 a month; ordinary laborers, $4 a month, and cigar makers, about $5 per month. It is the same all over the empire, and the wages may be divided in half, as they are paid in silver, which is worth only half the value of our money. Moncy-Making in Corea. I could fill a page of this newspaper with the possibilities ard the curious features of labor in China and Japan, and the same may also be said of Corea, though there has been until now so little security for the fruits of labor that the people have had no incentive to work. The treaty will bring a new light into the hermit nation, and many of the old and barbarous cus- toms will now pass away. For some time there will, however, be chances for specu- lative turns outside of the wonderful re- scurces of the country. One will be when any member of the royal family dies. At this time the whole nation is supposed to go into mourning. Every man in the country has to put on a white straw hat as big as an umbrella and a new gown of yellow grassc'oth. The man who has a corner on grasscloth at such times is sure to have at least three million men howling for it. He can charge his own prices, and can do almost as well as Col. Sellers hoped to do with his eye water for the million of cross-eyed Chinamen. I have already writ- ten at length concerning the gold mines, the coal mines and the probabilities of there being large deposits of petroleum in Corea. The country will now be de- veloped and there are good chances in it ror American capitansts. FRANK G. CARPENTER. ——_ The Mother in Paradise. Eugene Field in Chicago Record. A Mother came to the gateway of heaven. She was aged and weary. Her body was bowed and her face was wrinkled and with- ered, for her burden had been the burjden of care and trouble and sorrow. So she was glad to be done with life and to seek at the gateway of heaven the fulfillment of the Promise that had been her solace through all the hard, bitter years. An angel met the Mother at the gateway and put her arms about the drooping fig- ure and spoke gracious, tender words. “Whom seckest thou?” asked ihe angel. “I seek my dear ones who came hither before me,” answered the Mother. “They are very many—my father, my mother, my husband, my children—they all are here to- gether, and for many and weary years I have lived in my loneliness with 20 other thing to cheer me but the thought that I should follow them in good time.” “Yes, they are here and they await thee,” said the angel. “Lean upon me, dear Mother, and I will lead thee to them.” Then the angel-led the way through the garden of paradise and the angel and the Mother talked as they walked together. “I am not weary now,” said the Mother, “and my heart is not troubled.” “It is the grace of heaven that restoreth thee, dear Mother,” qucth the angel. “Presently thou shalt be filled with the new life and thou shalt he young again, and thou shalt sing with rapture and thy soul shall know the endless ecstasy of heaven.” “Alas, I care not to be young again,” saith the Mother. “I care only to find and to be forever with my beloved ones.” As they, journeyed on their way a com- pany came to meet them. Then the Mother saw and knew her dear ones—even though the heavenly life had glorified their coun- tenances te Mother knew them, and she ran to greet them and there was great joy to her and to them. Meanwhile the angel kept steadfastly at her sido. Now the Mother, when she had embraced her dear ones, looked at each of them separately once more, and then she said: “Ye are indeed my beloved—my mother, my father, my husband and my children! But there is one who should be of your company whom I do not see—my babe, my little helpless babe that came hither alone so many, many years ayo. My heart fainteth, my breast yearneth for that dear little lamb of mine! Come, let us go to- gether and search for her, or await me here under these pleasant trees while I search and call in this fair garden for my dear, lost litle babe!” ‘The others ans ed never a word, But the angel said: “I will go with thee, Mother, and together we shall find thy child.” As they went on their way the ange! said: “Shall I tell thee of myself? Yor 1 was a little helpless babe when I came hither to this fair garden and into this heavenly life.” “Perchance thou knowest her, my prec- ious lambkin!" cried the Mother. “I was a babe when I came hither,” said the angel. “See how I am grown, and what happiness hath been mine! The com- passion of divinity hath protected and fos- tered me and hath led me all these years in the peace that passeth all human un- derstanding. God hath instructed me in wisdom, and He shall instruct thee, too, for all whe come hither are as children in His sight, und they shall grow in wisdom and in grace eternally. “But my babe—my own lost little one, whom I have not held in these arms for so many weary years—snall she not still be my little babe, and shall I not cradle her in my bosom?” asked the Mother. “Thy child shall be restored to thee,” said the angel, “for she yearneth for thee even as thou yearnest for her. Only with this difference, dear Mother: Thy child hath known, in the grace of heavenly Wisdom, that at the i thy earthly sorrow should be rewarded ith the joys of the endless reunion in paradise!” “Then she hath thougnt of me and long- ed for me to ‘come: vied ihe Mother, “And my lost babe shall be restored and 11 know her mother again!” she loveth thee fondly said the” angel, “and she hath awaited thy coming, lo, these many years, Presently thine eyes shall be opened and thou shalt see her standing before thee in her heavenly rai. ment, whiter than snow, and about her ys ¥ < | GRAND PREACHERS And Their Words in the Cause of Humanity.
