Dr. Burt says his people are in great need of a building of their own. No sooner have they settled in a place than a Catholio landlord will make their lot so unpleasant that they have to move out. This new building is to be the headquar ters for all of the Methodist work la Italy, lust as the Uible house, on Fifth avenue, is the headquarters for American . Methodists. Under Dr. Burt's control are twenty-nine churches and ten other places regu larly visited by their Methodist preachers, twenty-seven ministers who are regular members of the con ference, and seventeen other preach era who do local work or volunteer their help, and 1,&25 members and probationers. The doctor is also at the head of a small theological insti tute, which numbers six enthusiastic young Italians among its pupils, and of a boys and girls school. The basement of the new building will be used for the publishing house. . On the ground floor will be a church for services in Italian. chapel for services in English to ac commodate English or American Methodists visiting Borne, book rooms, Sunday school rooms and young people's rooms. The three and a half floors above will serve for theological school, boys' college and residences for superintendents, professors and preachers. The corner-stone of the church was laid by Bishop Newman, and the foundation stone, appropri ately enough, by Bishop Vincent, of Chautauqua fame. JAPS AS BROKERS. , A Glimpse at tk National Banktar System of Japan. Although Japan is a constitu tional monarch, the monarch's title is equivalent to the word emperor. banking goes on there with all the system, success aad satisfaction that all public and official affairs la Japan universally present. Reverence and respect for tbecblef magistrate, and all constituted authority, with la born patriotism, helps much in the direction of success for all their or ganized efforts. The Japanese, apart from these aids to successful "asso ciation" and mutual cooperation for the good. of their beloved country. are truly a wise, modest, Industri ous, thrifty and wonderful people. Tbe Bank of Japan has a capital of 20,000,000 yens, the yen the same value as each of our enormous stock of silver dollars intended to redeem tbe treasury notes and other gov ernment paper at Washington. The price at which oor government fig ures duty on the fem is &S.6 cents gold value. The pure silver in the coin weighs more than the silver la our dollar. The Japan dollar, yen. has 374 410 grains; ours, 371), market value of the silver in the yen, 4G 8-10 cents. In Japan cold ac counts are opened for those desiring it. The gold yen la Japan Is worth 997-10 cents our money; is issued In pieces of 20, 10. 0, 2 and 1 yens, and contains 23.15 troy grains pure; United States gold dollars, 23.21 grains, pure gold. The Bank of Japan performs the functions to some extent of the for mer United States bank, and to some extent tbe bank of England In our day. The national banks of Japan have had so far excellent success, and we hear of no want of it as to the others. There are 133 national banks, capital 143,323,000,324 private banks, cap ital $23,318,000; and 680 other mon etary institutions, capital, $16,000, Integrity, Industry, economy and system rule in Japan. It Is not known If the Japanese conscience is developed, and its claims as sole guide and rule to fidelity in busi ness Inculcated, as la tbe United States, but the people are faithful, exact and trustworthy, and so far there Is great satisfaction la finan cial matters.

"Yaas. the fit was fit fair and Jim licked Bill without turn In' hair, and I did not see Jim bite BUI la any way, answered Jo. "That will do,' said I, and just at Jo was leaving the witness chair for the prosecutor did not want to examine him an unlucky thought occurred to me, and I told him to sit down and answer me one q lion. " Jo, said I, siowiy, and in aa Impressive manner, did you see anything during the fight, or Imme diately after it was over that led you to think that possibly Jim might have bitten off a piece of Bill's ear?'
