A child of 6 often has her baby brother tied to her back, and children from § to 16 go about with bubies so fastened upon them taking care of them. Such girls, when employed outside of their own families, get their board and clothing and a present now and then. They are often poor relatives of the family, and a woman who works in the tea factory will often pay 1 cent a day to have her baby thus carcd for. HARD LABOR AT TEN CENTS A DAY. Out in the country the wages are even lower and there are parts of Japan where the women do not get more than 10 cents in silver a day, or about a nickel of our money. Al members of a poor family work, and a man and his wife will often labor side by side in the same fiell. Women dig up the ground with long spade-like mattocks, and I visited o tea-firing establishment yesterday where 1 saw about 100 girls bending over hot oven-like pans and rubbing the green leaves of the tea around in them, while the perspiration rolled down their cheeks and now and then dropped into the dainty mix- ture, which was being prepared for American breakfast tables. I asked as to their hours and thelr wages and I was told that they worked from daybreak to sunset, and tha they got the enormous wages of from 50 to 40 oents a day in silver. I see men every- whero 1 go carrying loads that the ordinary American could not lift, and they do the work of both horses and men. There are few horses used and many of the carts are pushed and pulled by women and men. I saw a woman breaking stones for the roads this afternoon, and I was told that she got about ten of our cents for twelve hours work. She sat barcheaded and barefooted on the stones and pounded aw with a hammer, breaking the rock: into picees. As I watched her, two Japane: men in blue cotton gowns passed by, carrying a stone welghing about 400 pounds, which was held by a rope to a pole, wh rested on their shoulders, and a third pushed past them with a load of long boards on his back There are no such things as stone boats and lumber wagons in Japan, and human labor takes the place of steam and horses. There are no lumber mills in the country and logs are sawed into boards by hand. A Jumber yard consists of a lot of boards tied up into bundles containing about five or gix boards six inches wide and half an inch thick, and usually about twelye feet in length, and it is of such lumber that the most of the Japanese houses are made. The heaviest of the rafters of the temples are sawed out by hand, and it is by men th they are carried up and put in place. THEY BUILD FIRE TRAPS. here In the There are many queer thin way of building, and I understand that the are people who make a business of manufa turing roofs for buildings. The roof of a Jupanese house is put on hefore the walls are fitted in and there is a big scaffolding made of the height of the proposed structure and running all around it before the work of putting up the house begins. This scaffold- ing is made of bamboo poles tled together with ropes of straw, and the men who put it up have nothing to do with erecting the building itself. There Is a esmpany in Yokohama which does nothing else but make scaffolding, and it rents it to the builders at 0 much per house Almost all of the Japanese houses are of wood. They are bullt close together in the towns and cities and a fire sometimes sweeps them away by thousands. It Is said that Toklo burns down every seven years, and fires which destroy 1,000 houses are not un- common, There are now steam fire engines in the large cities and all of the smaller places have fire departments and hand e gines. The Japanese go wild whenever the is a fire in their neighborhood. They turn out en masse, each carrylng a paper lantern upon which is painted the name of his hou or his business place, and rush toward it They have lanterns hung up in their. houses ready to run out with them to fires, and it is yell as they run. Bach fire company has a leader who carries a lantern fastened to the top of a long pole and ornamented with streamers of paper. He climbs with this to the roof of the building which is on fire and directs the men, and he is expected to stay at his post until these streamers catch fire. The firemen of Yokohama have blue hats like butter bowls, and on their backs are the characters which mean Yokohama fire brig- ade. The country firemen tie a handker- chief on their heads and are more often barefoot than otherwise. MELICAN MAN INSURANCE. Until lately there was no such thing as a fire insurance company in Japan. Now there are several and they are doing well. There are no foreign companies and the insurance companies of other countries confine their risks here to life. I chatted last night with the manager of an American life insurance company for Japan and China. He tells me that this American institution is doing a good business here and that the people are insuring more every day. The highest amount the company insures for in Japan Is $100,000. It has taken out two such poli- cies lately and has written a number of $50,- 000 and $25,000 policies. The most of its business, however, is in $5,000 r and it insures here at the same rates as in Amer- ica. It does not try to push its business among the Chinese, as there is more danger of fraud from them. When a Chinaman sces that he is about to die e wants to go to his home. This may be 1,000 miles in the interior of China, where there are no foreigners, and all sorts of trumped up evi- dence could be sent in as to the death. You could buy the testimony of the governor of a Chinece province for $100 or o, to any- thing, and the result would probably be that the company would be systematically de- frauded. In Japan It is impossible for one to de- fraud as to a matter of life and death. The system of registration of births and deaths is perfect, and the czar of Russia has not a better method of keeping track of his sub- jects than has the mikado. There are 0,000 policemen in the empire and no end of detectives. The. secret service of Japan is said to be the most perfect in the world, and though this land has the shrewdest of criminals, there s little wickedness that is allowed to go unpunished. Every man and woman {n Japan must have a passport, and this is the case with foreigners as well as with the Japanese. In changing his rexi- dence the police call upon a man as soon as he has settled and demand to know all about him. They do not take his own state- ment, but write to the city from which he says he came, and if his story Is not a true one he s arrested. He dare not leave Japan without the permission of the government, and 1t {8 almost impossible now for a Japan- ese woman to get away from Japan without she can prove that she Is going into some legitimate employment abroad, and that her assoclations there are to be good. & i A Caruntes — — The engagement between Miss Odette Tyler, the actress, and Howard Gould, the son of the famous financier, has been broken oft.

Next week will see a larger number of members added to the memibership roll than ever before in a single week. Some business houses have taken three, five and ten membership tickets and presented them to their employes in order to give them the benefits of the association and to help the directors provide for the expenses of the work.
