How the Business Is Conducted with the Mikado's Kingdom.
THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
"During the Christmas week," she said Dr. McDonald, chief of the money-order division of the postal offices department, "bills of exchange amounting to nearly $100,000 and to be sent to England to cover the balance of money order business between that country and this, which means that the money sent to Great Britain from this country in the shape of money orders during Christmas week was more by a hundred thousand dollars than the money sent in the same way during the same time from Great Britain to the United States. The balances is always on the same side, which is easily accounted for by the fact that the Irish and English in this country send a great many small amounts of money to their friends at home, while the friends in home do not generally reciprocate. The balance of business with Italy is greater in proportion than with any other country. Last year money orders amounting to $900,000 were sent from the United States to Italy, whereas only $30,000 or one twentieth of this amount, came this way."
"Is the money-order system used to any considerable extent for general business?"
"No, it does not suit the purpose or trade. Only small sums—from $50—can be sent by money order. Subscriptions to newspapers and periodicals are generally used in that way, but it is not much used for other lines of business. There are now about twenty countries with which we have established a system of money-order exchange. Japan is the most recent accession. Since the 1st of October we have been exchanging orders with Japan. Up to the present Japan has sent more money orders to us than we have sent to Japan. The Japs in this country don't seem to make a practice of sending their spare cash to friends at home. A large proportion of the money transmitted by money orders between the United States and the empire of Mikado consists of newspaper subscriptions, and they seem to read our newspapers more than we read theirs. With Russia and Spain and several other important countries we have been unable to establish a money order exchange because these countries have no internal money order system, and so they can not co-operate with ours. As Lord Dunedreary "used to say, 'a bird can not flock alone.'"
"You have different needs of transmitting order to different countries?" "Yes. In the cases of France and England, and those countries where the French and English languages are understood, we send the orders and get advice direct. The order forms are printed in French and English, and a man in Baltimore can send direct by mail a money order for $10 or even $50 to a friend in Paris or in Dublin, but he cannot reach a friend in Japan so directly. The Japanese friend would probably not understand an order made out in French or English, and we cannot correspond in Japanese. We manage it in this way: All our money-order business with Japan is conducted through our postoffice at San Francisco and their post offices at Tokyo. All the orders issued in this country payable in Japan are sent to San Francisco, where they are all grouped on a list, which is made in English and sent to Tokyo. The postmaster at Tokio has the list translated, and he issues an order to the person who is to receive the money. Orders issued in Japan for payment here are treated vice versa. Copies of these lists are sent from the postoffice at San Francisco to the postoffice department in Washington, and at the one of every quarter, if we find that we have paid more money on orders issued in Japan than the Japanese have paid on orders sent from here, we want the Japanese government to send us a bill of exchange for the difference, and vice versa. A similar quarterly settlement is made with every other country. Sometimes the accounts are squared more frequently. For instance, as soon as the balance on another side amounts to $5,000 the debtor remits." — Washington Post.
Many a woman sights and weeps in secret because the husband of her youth has ceased to pay her the attentions of a lover. He coolly lets her pick up her own手提箱er, talks stillly out of the door before her, and lets her risk all sorts of disasters by clambering out of a double wagon unassisted. Now, we don't propose to excuse men for any such unappropriate lapses; but it is a fact that the majority of women cease to grow in attractiveness, or—to speak botanically—ease to put forth new buds of promised loveliness to challenge their husbands' personal adoration; and the perverse creatures ease to cast admiring glances at the old plant which has dropped its blossoms. Do you see the romance, nodded wedge? Treat yourself as you treat your plants. You give them fresh air and sunshine, fresh soil and more room for the advancing roots to grow in; give yourself more opportunities and room for mental growth and the cultivation of personal grace. Maybe it's too bad, but you can't blame a man much for not continuing to smile perpetually at the remembrance of honey tasted long ago. You must yoke a present sweetness and a promise of plenty in the future — Chicago Ledger.
Husbands and Lovers.
London society bus for the past few years had just cause for complaint about the scarcity of dancing men. Any number of men would go to the ball, but the majority would hang about the door and in the supper room, and but few make themselves useful. As the number decreased, the demand increased, and it is now not unusual for a "dancing" man to be asked to three or four dances in the same evening. Until now New York had no cause for complaint, and society men have done their duty in this respect most nobly.
Pressing Need of Benefits in the Ranks of the Tenors
Last year, however, a small close-
come on the horizon, which threatens
in time to expand to as great dimensions
as in London, and the remark is oftent-
hered, "where are all the men?" In
former years the title class in New York
was very small, but of late years, as
wealth has increased, the class of men
who do nothing has also enlarged. It might be, therefore, supposed that men would be easily obtainable and the ranks of "dancing" men increased.
Such, however, is not the case. One
reason is that a great young men now
a-day, who can afford it, find foreign
climes more congenial to their
tastes, and prefer to winter in England
or seek the warm breezes of Paris and
Cannes. Some few Anglo-maniacs also
are under the impression that it is fashionable to initiate the Tenth Hussars,
"who don't dance."
By far the larger classes, however, is composed of those who are afraid that if once they begin they will be unable to stop. The ordinary ball consists of a few polka and waltzes, supper and a German. A man enters the ball-room, and seeing someone he knows, asks for a dance. After the turn is over he would naturally like to ask someone else, but in a weak moment he proposes a stroll around the room, and his fate is then soiled, and until supper relieves him he will continue his tramp around the room, changed only by an occasional turn which he nor his partner enjoys. The girl knows pretty well that if she proposes a return to her chaperon, she will remain standing or sitting by herself for a considerable time, and, therefore, naturally hangs on grim death to the man she has caught, and he not having sufficient moral courage to take the ball by the horns, and propose the return, says nothing. This hesitation is caused in a great measure by the absurd plan of couples walking round and round the room, thereby taking up the greater part of dancing space, and hiding everyone sitting down. A ball room is not the place for a "going-as-you-please," and the fatigues of the evening are very much increased by the number of miles covered by the hapless couple, whose peregrination seem only to be ended by the call to supper. This is the real reason why so many men will not dance. They are afraid of being "stuck" to one girl all the evening.
This could be changed if the aburd plans of strolling were put a stop to. A man could then ask a girl to dance, and the turn over, take her back to her chaperon, make his bow, and retire. Whereens now, he thinks a舞, rather too ardous an undertaking, and prefers to look on and wait till the German, when he knows his penance will be limited. The girls, on the other hand, who go to a舞, only have a turn or two with the same man, do not care to stay for the German, and go home tired, bored and disgusted. Naturally, no girl can throw herself alone into the breach and demand to be taken back to her chaperon, as she would probably remain there, but if some of the leaders of society and the managers, say, of the Cottilons and Matriarchs, would bestir themselves and request that valuable space was not taken up, and the system of walking round the room stopped during the time the music continues, the ranks of dancing men would speedily receive a great many recruits, and the dances, in general, profit by the abolition of what is an absurdity, and, besides, a sellish custom. Of course, these remarks do not refer to "belles!" they have any number of applicants for this reason partly that the applicant knows he will soon be relied; but belles are not always bells, and though a thing of beauty may be a joy forever, it does not last forever, and for their own good in the future, they should be glad to aid in changing the present regime, and the sooner all ranks combine to do something, the sooner will the deserts from the dancing ranks be stopped.—New York Hour.
None of His Business
DANGING MEN.
"Mister, will you please give me a dime?" asked a boy of a gruff looking man.
"Why should I give you a dime?" "To get something to eat with."
"Why should I care whether you eat or not." It's some of my business."
Shortly afterward, as the man was running to catch a car, his plug hit blow off and went rolling at a rapid rate.
"Please stop that hat," he shouted to a boy.
"Why should I stop your hat?" the boy replied. "It's none of my business."
"Now look there, you young wretch a wagon has run over it."
That's so, but why should I care it's none of my business."—Ardanus
