Japanese houses consist often of
only ono story nnd very seldom of
moro than two. Thoy do not. of
course re.setnblo ono nnothur exactly
any more than English houses do; but
it may bo said of them generally that
they imvo no windows in our senso of
the word and sometimes no regular
doors but they are always provided
with a veranda beforo the lower story
and when they have a second story
with a balcony.
As to solidity it is a fact that the
Japanese do not ovon aim at making
their houses substantial as English
houses are or as oven when con-
structed by a "jerry builder" they
nrofess to bo. Tho outer walls of on
English houses aro always intended to
bo fixtures and so far durable that
when 01100 put up they cannot bo
pulled down without sending for
workmen; but among tho Jupancso
two or 111010 of tho sides aro not per
manent walls but aro closed with slid-
ing screens which can bo tet up and
taken down at tho pleasure of tho in-
mates. On a hot day or when thorough
ventilation is required tho wholo sido
of a room can be opened to the outer
air.
Of course peoplo who arc not par-
ticular about having a permanent
wall between their rooms and tho out-
side world do not caro to havo im-
movable partitions between one part
of tho liouft and another. Although
in England rooms aro occasionally
parted from ono another by a curtain
or by folding doors yet as a general
rule they aro separated by walls
which however flimsy their construc-
tion may be aro Hxtures and cannot
bo taken away and replaced at will.
Hut in Japan ono room is commonly
nartcd from tho next merely by a
screen a framework of wood covered
with paper which runs in a shallow
groove on tho floor and a deeper
groovo on 1110 celling a pian wuicu
gives tho inhabitants tho power of
adding to or decreasing tho number of
their apartments at their pleasure.
Baron Nordenskjold tho famous Arc-
tic traveler has recorded tho surpriso
with which ho woko up ono morning
at a Japaneso inn in quito a smalt
room having gono to bed over night
in a very largo one.
It has been suggested that tho reason
why tho Japaneso do not build their
houses moro solidly is that in a land
liko theirs of continual earthquakes it

Pittsburg Nov. 10. On Saturday
night about 7 o'clock ono of tho most
cowardly and dastardly crlmos ovor
coDHuraated hi Camp couuty was por-
potratod about throo milos west of
Pittsburg at tho jtocory of Mr. S.
Flnoborg. Tho particulars as far as
can bo learned aro as follows: Mr.
Flnoborg was eating suppor in his
grocery. Hoariug some nolso outsldo
he turned his hoad In the direction of
tho door to sob what It was whon
some unknown person 11 red at him
the load taking offeot in his head uml
sldo. His body was discovered soon
afterward by a nogro who had gono
there lor the purpose of buying sorao
gin and seeing Mr. Flueborg iu a
pool of blood immediately informed
Mr.1 A. D. Martin who lived near by
of the fact. Mr. Martin and several
othor persons went to tho oceno of tho
tragedy and in a short while a coro-
ner's inquest was held and a verdict
was rouderod in accordnnco with tho
abovo facts. His remains woro
brought to his home at Pittsburg this
morning and a post mortom exami-
nation was held for the purposo of ob-
taining all the evidenco possible con-
cerning the Hhootlng. Tho olllcurs
aro at work and aro sparing no tlmo

Indianapolis Ind. Nov. 19. The
desire of the delegates to the general
assembly of Knights of Labor to con-
tinue T. V. Powderly as their chief
has been expressed to him formally.
Several delegates who represent Cana-
dian assemblies called on him and
asked him to accept the office once
more. He gave them to understand
that he would do so providing that he
could choose his own advisers on the
genetal executive board. Everything
indicates that he will be given his wish
and there is now only a difference of
opinion regarding the way that it shall
be done. Under any circumstances
Mr. Powdeily will undoubtedly con-
tinue in office' and will choose his own
cabinet.

Staunton Va. Nov. 19. Intelli-
gence has reached here of the mur
der of Potterfield Brock a well-to-do
widower near Gilbert's Station in
Albemarle county by his married son
and the suicide of the latter. The
murdered man lived with his son on a
farm owned by the elder Brock at
Paddy's creek. For some time the
murdered man had been engaged to
be married to Miss Norfolk ofAl
bemarle and on the day of the murder
went to Charlottesville and purchas-
ed his wedding outfit. Fearing pos-
sibly that when the old man brought
his pretty young bride home it would
cause a breaking up of family relations
young Brock became despondent and
upon the fathers return home with his
wedding suit young Brock in a moment
of supposed mental aberration shot
and instantly killed him and then left
home but soon returned and went to
bed. During the night he arose got
his pistol and blew his brains 'out. His
wife with several children remained
in the house with the dead bodies of
the father and son until morning when
some neighbors were summoned to
their assistance.

especially female smugglers who I
must say carry on then nefarious

glers of both sexes but for cunning
boldness und determination tho women
cannot bo approached. Do you laiow
that women nro horn cheats? Oh
well I mean in this direction. A
woman's dress affords her moro facili-
ties for hiding small but costly articles
and it is fur less easy to detect them
than men and as tho elder Wcller
would say almost impos&iblo to 'cir-
cumvent.' It takes an experienced
