Mmm of CeatfHetlns tka WurwtH ef wpaper CeeserjifclB DeteeUvesawd Their WrkThe ItwMy I. m of Mia Cwi-vleta-A W41-aiteed rrkea. The Jnimnese policeman carries a roll of string cord, and when he makes an arrest he winds the oord several timed around tha prisoner's waist, attaches his hands at the small of hie back and then takes hold of six feet of cord that remains and politely draws his man to the look-up. The calaboose is composed of wooden cells like elephant houses. The prisoner's first trial is a secret inquiry before the judge and clerk, and after the trial the man is led away in cords. Japan's police system is modeled on the French method, aad French ie the language of the department. My guides took me, over every hole and corner of the Department of lo lice, a huge green and white wooden "building surrounding a fountain and -pleasant garden court. There was the bureau of the detective force; the bureau of the political force, who look I after possible political intrigues, questionable lectures, public meetings, and so forth; the bureau oi prostitution the translators' bureau; the library the financial .auditor's office: the pri Tate bank of the department, the 'temple-like place of detention for po litical prisoners, the police barracks and fencing-room, and a score more. After awhile we reached a room where twenty particularly intelligent-looking officials sat at both sides of a long table piled up with newspapers, scissors, blue and red pencils, paste-pote and all the familiar equipment of the exchange editor's sanctum. It was the bureau of newspaper censorship, and these gentlemen with the spectacles .and scissors and paste were examining all the newspapers of Japan for treasonable or seditious sentiments or improper criticism of ministerial or imperial affairs. "This," said my guide, waving his band proudly over the piles of newspapers and the teapots of the censors. "ut an institution you have not yet reached in hnglaad." The procedure of this branch of the Japanese police is simple in the extreme. A lynx-eyed censor tJlecovars an article which seems to his con eervative notion to threaten the stability of the Government, to bring a Minister into contempt, or to foster improper agitation among the people. He extracts it and submits it to tha director of the bureau, who probably takes counsel with the higher authori ties. If the censor's view is confirmed tha editor of the paper is peremptorily but politely summoned every thing is -done politely In Japan, and I have no 1 doubt that the school-boy is politolv Wrohed and the criminal politely exe cutes to appear at the Department of X'ouce at a certain hour on a certain -1 a .a nnea mat summons comes to Join the innumerable caravans of mar tyrs to a sense of journalistic duty, ha Knows mat in the expressive lantguage of the Bowery he Is a 'goner. . "Sir. ha is told, "your estimable .journal is suspended for so many days. Good morning.1 oila tout. The Bureau of Newspa per leaeersnlp has plagiarised the methods of fate. It neither warns nor explains nor justifies it simply strikes. But the Japanese editor is not the least wily of his tribe, and he, too, ha taken a leaf from the same book. Notloing bow often fate strikes the wrong person, he has concluded to Make the imitation complet? in this respect also, and be therefore provides a dummy editor, in the form of some worthy individual who tor a small weekly consideration and the attraction of long periods of inactivity, consent to take upon himself the editorial punishment when it comes, for not infrequently imprisonment accompanies ttspenslon. "My friend," says the real editor to the dummy editor some fine morning, "I am about to go before the Minister f Communications. Tray make your arrangements accordingly." So Justine is satisfied and Japan is guarded aad providence is Imitated. The whale system of worst police Is Ighly developed In Japan. There Is regular staff el deteetlves whe die-

One of these mea loses eeste very muea la hie oMoa, if he does not suffer aa aeiual degradation of positioa, by faUiaff to return with information he keepatehed to secure. Besides these, however, there is a regular staff of private pettee correspondents la all parte of the country, aad one whole bureau at the Department of Foiioe Is devoted to raeeiviag, ordering, elaesilying these and taking action upon them. A good deal of information must be plotted tap from the tea-houses, eeehof whlen ie a oeater of goseip, aad ia one or other of which almost every male well-to-do inhabitant of Tokyo ie aa habitue. The Yoshiwara, again, ie of course a police huatiagground, and the most interesting hour I spent la the Folios Department was la ooaversaUoa with the officials of the bureau which controls this, aad la watching the aad aad secret spectacle of young girle coming up for permission to enter it as recruit. Ia the "rogues " gallery of Tokyo alone, I may add, are the dossier, or oomplete records, of 140,000 criminals, adtairably arranged as a card catalogue, like the latest deyiee of American library cataloguing. With the exception of the Teehlwara the two pVisons of Tokyo are the most iaearesUag things I have seen ia Japan. These are, first, the great prison upon the island of Ishikawa, at the south of the eity, aad second, the convict aad female prison of Ichlgawa, in the center of the city itself. The former is completely isolated, all communication with the mainland being by pelke-ferry and contain 2,062 men aad boys, ail of whom are serving terms of tea years or less. The latter contains 1,400 men aad 100 women, among whom are many serving life sentences. There is a convict farm attached, aad it is here that capital punishment h inflicted. Otherwise the two prisons resemble each other so closely that it is not necessary to distinguish between them in description. Mr. Suzuki, vies-preeident ef the prison, did nee the honors at Ishikawa, aad Mr. Adachi. the dfrector, at Iohlgawa, The entrance is through a massive wooden gateway, into a guard-room, adjoining which are the offices of the Director and officials. The prison itself consists of a score or more of de tached one-story buildings, all of wood and some of thorn merely substantial sheds under which the rougher labor. like stone-breaking, is performed. The dormitories are enormous wooden cages, the front and part of the back formed of bars as thick as one's arm. before walca again u a narrow cov ered passage where the n-arder on guard walks at night. There is not particle of furniture or a single article of: any kind upon the floor, which is polished till it reAeots your body like a mirror. No boot, of course, ever touches It. The thick quihte of futon. which constitute everywhere the Jap anese bed, are rolled up and stacked on a broad shelf running around the room overhead. Each dormitory holds ninety-six prisoners and there is long row of them. The sanitary ar rangements are situated ia a little ad anion at tne oactc, ana l was assured that these had not been made pleaeaat for my inspection. If, not, I can only say mat in in is most important re spect a Japanese prison could not wel be improved. In fact the whole dor mitory, with ite perfect ventilation, its construction of solid, highly-polished wood, in which there is no chance for vermin to harbor, and its combined simplicity and security, is an almost ideal prison structure. Of oourse the fact that every Japanese, from the Mikado to the coolie, sleeps upon quilts spread out on the floor, greatly simpli fies the task of the prison architect ia Japan. On leaving the dormitories we passed a email, isolated square erection, peaked and gabled like a little temple. The door was solemnly unlocked and flung back, and I wae motioned to en ter. It was the punishment cell, an other spotless wooden box, well venti lated, but perfectly dark, and with walls so thick as to render it practical ly silent "How many prisoners have been ia it during the last month?" asked. The Director summoned the Chief Warder and repeated my ques tion to him. "H'tori rao goealmaoea none whatever," was the reply. ''What other punishments have you?" Sione whatever." A Japanese prison may be divided into two parts dormitories and work shops. Of cells or prison buildings properly speaking, there is nothing whatever. It ia a place of detention. of reformation, ami of profitable labor, and In the latter aspect one of the great est surprises of life awaited us. Walkag across the yard we entered the first workshop, where a couple of hundred prisoners were making machinery and steam boilers. One warder, armed only with a sword, k reckoned for ev ery fifteen men, and here the prisoners were working on contract orders for outside firms, under the supervision of one skilled teacher and one representative of the firm giving the contract. Tho prisoners work for nine hours a day and are all dressed in cotton suite of a peculiar terra-cotta or crushedstrawberry color. As we enter, the warden or guard comes to attention and cries, "Kt wo tsukero pay attention!" when all oease work and bow with their foreheads to the floor, re maining in that attitude till a second eommand bids them rise. They were making large braes and iron steampump aad' had already made meaty

Then we viaited a workshop where jlnrikisAas were being made, the one where urnbeelUvhaadles were being elaborately eerved, then one where every kiad of pottery from the rough poeus bottle aad jar to the eggaheli teacup waa rolling from a dozen potters'' wheels. and then came the groat surprise. Two days previous I had visited the house of the most famous maker ia Japaa of the exquisite cloisonne ware the enamel in inlaid metal work upon copper who rival in everlasting materials the brush of Turner with his pigments and the pencil of Alma Tadema with hie strips of metal. And I had stood for an hour behind him aad Ms pu pile, marveling that the human eye could become so accurate aad the human hand so steady aad the human heart so patient. Yet gave ay word that here ia the prison at Ishikawa sat not' six but sixty men. common thieves aad burglar peace-breakers, who knew no about cloisonne before they were teaeed than a Hindoo knows about skates, doing just the same) thinu cutting by eye measurement only the tinv strips of copper to make the out line) of a bird's beak or the shading; of his wing- or the articulatioavs ef his toe, sticking these upon the rounded surface of the copper vase, filling up the interstices with pigment, eoat upon coat, and tiring aad filing aad polieh lag it until tne finished work wae so true and delicate and so beautiful that nothing except aa occasional greater dignity and breadth of design marked the art of the free naa from that of the convict. CTeteit a. ae paa y croire one simply stood and refused to believe one's eyes. Fancy the attempt to teach each a thing at Fentonville or iMrtmoor or Mag otngl waen our criminal reaches hie prison heave in Tokyo he is taught to do that at which tho limit of hie natural faculties reached. If he can make cloisonne, well and good. If not, perhaps he eaa carve wood or make pottery: if not theoe, then he -an make fane or urn bretlM or basket work; if be is not up to any oi mese ae can make paper or set type or cast braes or do oarpsntering-; if the limit is too high for hi down he goes to the rice-mUl. aad seesaws all day long upon a balanced beam, first raising the stone-weighted end and then letting it down with great flop into a mortar of rice. But if he can not evea accomplish this poor task regularly he k given a ham mer aad left to break stones under i shod with, the twenty-nine other mot out oi two thousand, who could not learn any thing else. Prisoner employed at the higher cmeeesof labor. are credited with tenth of the sum received for their handiwork. But as the work wae so good and the running eacpoaees seemed so light I was much aurprieed to leara that the prison waa net yet self supporting, only seven-tenths of the total cost being realised from the sale of prisoners' work. Another curious fact is that every adult pris oner is detained for six months after his sentence expires if he is not claimed In the meantime by his friends; aad until he fa of adult age if he hex not reached it and is unclaimed. Theee prisoners wear blue material instead of red after their sentences have ox pi red.

See at tea Faatara af Ita r Terlc fi Xotwithstanding the fancy for redingotes aad round waists, basquee are not abandoned, but are more simply shaped ia the back than formerly, while the front Us most elaborately trimmed. One of the simplest faenions is that of putting a rash of silk eight inches wide when doubled aeroea the ends ef the front of the basque, and letting it fall nearly to the foot of the skirt; above this are a vest aad re vers; the baek ie then rounded or pointed, with the skirt sewed about He edges. Youthful aad dressy baeques hare the short Eton jacket f rente out off squarely at the waist line, with the edges turned baek ia revere that begin la a point at the waist, and gradually widea te three or four laches at the top. turning over there almost broad enough to touch the amahole seams. The vest iaeide this may be of eoatrastiag cloth or crose-striped silk or velvet, lying perfectly flat, or it may be double-breasted and smooth or else it may be very full, and crossed from the top, leaving a V-shaped space to be filled by a plastroa of chemisette aad standing collar. The back may be plainly curved below the waist line, with the back breadths of the skirt hooked upon it, or it may be cut ia poiate at the side that hang with tacoolod ends or are merely bordered with gimp, or else the middle forms end ia two soft leaf points longer than the pointed ends of the forms. It is not now thought necessary to add full postilion plaits in the habit-back shape, ae there is a preferfor haviag the breadths appear to be continuous, or at leant not much widened below the ..waist line. The short wide Direetoire revers confined to the upper part of the frost of the waist are seea on basques precisely as they are on the long redlngotes. aad the broad Kmpire belt reauune in favor. jew steeves are maee lull m many different ways, giving at laet a change from the slim eoat sleeves, for the latter are made wider than formerly, and in seme cases they drop down front the top ia a cress fold separate from the lining, and are sewed very full ia a point ia the top of the armhole. Even cloth sleeves are full from armhole to half-way below the elbow, where they are garnered ever aa inner sleeve of cloth of contrasting color, which is closer fitting, though not tight, when finished with its turned-hack cuff (also of oieth), it Is large enough for the hand to pase through. Some times the cloth is shirred in a point at the armhole, and a band of galloon forms a cap, or jockey, as French modistes say, around the armhole. and a similar bead conceals the seam which joins the full put to the deep cuff. Velvet or plush sleeves are abe full, with a deep cuff covered with pasae men ter ie. Ia seme coat sleeves fullis added by lengthening and widening the upper end, and folding it eareleesly around the armhole in thick irregular folds. Seme new deep cuffs flare outward like gauntlets, aad extend ia two or three points above the end of the full sleeves. Heryer'j Don't Be Tee Showy. Don't put your initials or rear name on every thing you possess, so that people who pick up a fork or look at a pillow sham will read "John Brown, my property." It s atl right to mark things ef use in some such n way. but not things of beauty, aad if you must so mark them make the letters small aad put them oa the baek of the objeet. net the front. The woman who wears her initials in diamonds oa a breech is vulgar. The man who print his monogram oa hie china does a useless thing, for nobody ie going to run away with hie dishes.

It would only take ISO such men to earry the Gospel to the whole world ia twenty-five years. Says a clergyman of this city: " I think I speak for a great many sensible Americans when I protest against the silly tomfoolery ef ' christening ' vessels. Not only la the practice a childish survival of a past age. but it is a piece of gross irreverence to parody Christian baptism ia this way. There ie ae objection te some simple ceremony In giving a vessel a name, although even that is out of place la this busy age. But it is shocking to have vessels 'christened,' that is, made hers ef the Christian church by of a bottle ef champagne. By the way, if it is necessary to thus formally name ships, why isn't it juet as necessary to go through the same eeremoaies ia naming fiat houses and emee buildings?" A'. T. THeene.

When within about a yard of me, and his eyes actually flashing out their eaaiag at his thus being eoraered, he, without a moment's hesitation. edea apring at me nnd landed on the top of one ef my leather shooting boots, a pair that name ahore my knees; m an instant he commenced tearingaway with hie teeth at a great rate, but be fore he had bitten any thing but my boot I grabbed htm at ttu-back of hie neck, and between throttling him and humping hie head against the heel of y gun, he wae rendered lifeless.
