I isitors to Factories Are Politely Al* lowed to Remain Outside. It is as hard to get into a Japaese factory as it is to break out of til. It can be done if the proper mount of red tape is unwound, but ic tradition is that visitors are i eleonie?to stay outside. That is specimen of Japanese politeness, i Im oool-or for information is wel- i ame to do what he has no desire ) do and welcome to argue and ime as much as he wants to in do- j lg it, but he does it in the end. < 'he Japanese have reached the oint of believing that the wages of in is publicity, and either to pro?ct valiable t ^vets, which other ations discovered first or to preent foreigners from exposing opressive working conditions, the enrafices are barred and a "no admision" sign is as literal and true as a no fishing" sign would be if hung ver the babies' bathtub. Accompanied by a friend who nowg the ceremonial forms and irtified with a pocketful of beautiilly engraved cards, I approached lie offices of the Fuji spinning nils.

The man I watched did not do ne stroke of useful labor in the uarter hour we were there. He moked two cigarettes, played with is counting board and put on his oat, but otherwise he did no prouctive labor. His companions did ' be same type of work. An Amerian would not pay 10 cents a month or all they did while we were there. The chief official returned after ome time to say that he was sorry. Fhen a Japanese is sorry for you it 1 time for you to sympathize with ourself. He explained that the \ rother of the manager had brought own a correspondent of the Lonon Times and that they had to reuse him admissioh because he did ot have a letter from the manager 1 imself.

The old fashioned lawyer ? the family lawyer, who was guide, philosopher and friend, who had charge of the family estate, presided over all testaments and documents, was asked for advice about investments, consulted about thu school and the college to which the boy or girl should be started on his career, was looked to by anxious parents for a grave opinion as to the moral, financial and social status of the young man who had sought the hand of the daughter of the house, was the honored guest at all family functions?does not exist in New Yorfc any more. He has become extinct like the dodo. The pressure of business duties and the increasing hustle 1 i 11 * 1 1 1 _ 3 ana oustie 01 legal me nave crowaed out his social functions. It is now the function of the lawyer to keep his client out instead pf getting him out of court. There is also considerable tendency toward specializing and consolidation. Four or five lawyers take a suit of offices together and enter into a sort of partnership. One specializes on torts, another on contract cases, another on constitutional cases, carriers, corporations and other branches. Another case of "specialization" is the "business getting" lawyer, who knows practically no law but obtains clients. He belongs to clubs and. fraternities, travels a great deal and is seen little in the office. He is, first of all, what is called "a good mixer." In several firms the "business getting" lawyer knows practically no i j i i law buu uimpiy uia&ea a buwcbb uu his manners. He does none of the real legal work. After the client is obtained "the business getter," after putting in some general questions about the case, remarks: 'Til turn you over to our Mr. Blank, who attends to many of the details for me." Mr. Blank of course will handle the case, and the "business getter" will not bother his head any further about it.?New York Cor. Pittsburgh Dispatch. Telling the Bumpa. The antiquity of palmistry is in striking contrast to the modernity of "telling the bumps," with which it is often associated in popular estimation. Wrongly associated, since the phrenologist merely reads character without attempting any predictions of the future. Phrenology was invented by Gall, the German physician, who as a boy had studied the heads of his schoolfellows.

Phrenological societies were 3oon formed in London, and the science, after being "refuted" by Lord Jeffrey and others, gradually made headway.?London Chronicle. Courtship In Holland. The etiquette of Holland is exceedingly strict in all classes. The young girl is most carefully chaperoned, and she never goes anywhere, even to church, unless accompanied by her parents, some male relative or other equally trusted attendant. At a dance the parents sit round the walls sipping their coffee or wine, and the young men must make the best of their chances in the opportunities afforded by the dance, for when it pleases the guardians to depart there is no help for it, but th# girls must go too. Habit of Saving. It takes a strong character to form the habit of saving money from a small income, yet it can be done. No man ever regrets having formed the habit of saving, though many regret that they never did form the habit. "If I only had!" is fne sad wail that is heard from many , lips, while the words, "I am i a.! T J.J ?
