American Influence in Japan,

Heretofore, the pred0mfnating foreign inflrl-
ence In Japan has been British, of course. 1t IS
SO yet. But there are unm1stakable Indications
that this influence is already on the decline.
Intelligent Englishmen have been among the
f1rst to detect and remark this And, In exact
ratio as British influence declines, American
influence seems to increase. The principal
imports are still from England, and through
English merchants But wherever we find a
new piece Of machinery. factory, machine
shop or railway, we may be sure it either
had an American origin or Is largely under
American influence. Wherever skilled labor
Is in demand, the American mechanic is
sought for. If there is q wharf or a dock
yard or steam engine to be built, an
American Is almost sure to have the
contract. II a railway is to be construct
ed, American engineers are consulted. The
principal line Of ocesn steamers, as also the
eoasting steamers, carrying the Japanese flag.

citizens. The present legal adviser of the i'm
per1al government is an American lawyer
Many OF their leading merchants are graduates
OF American colleges. just why the Pacific
Mail steamship company abandoned the carry
Ing trade between Japan and China, and sold
their vessels OF that line to Japanese company.
Will probably never be known. 1t was Under
stood to be the most profitable line owned bv
the company; sort OF feeder, in fact to their
new contested line between Japan and Califor-
mia. Under the new management, the Yoke

rather hum1hatfng to reflect that we may pass
many times through the Japan and China sens
without seeing an American ensign, except al

Things Hard to Understand.

Why an endless procession of drinkers from
public Upper will, without exception, drink close
Why half the human race was not born with
out hearing and the other half without speech
Then the takers might talk on in uninterrupted
now, and the hearers exercise their especial
glI without their present pruriency to speak.
why people Will go into society to get bored
when hen they can get bored just as well at home
Why the young lady who Will eagerly chew
boarding house mince pie will carefully eschew
boarding house mince meat.
Why mans stomach will be so everlast-
1ngly Squeamish at home, and at the eating
house display faith like grain OF mustard
seed.
Why woman will make excuses for her bread
when She knows it is the best she ever made, aud
knows her company knows 1t.
Why young gentleman Swears so much
louder ana more copiously when stranger ladies
are within earshot; or, in other words,
why the desire to make a fool OF ones self
springs eternal In the human breast.
why we are SO much angrier against him Who
shows us our error than him who leads us
herein.
Why everybody is so prompt to answer " How
do you do?" when you ask that inevitable queS-
ton. And,
the Information contained in this echo.
Why ones piety strengthens as his health
weakens.
Why people win get married, when courtship
is SO sweet.
Why man who claims to have found mar
rage delusion will again embrace that deil-
sion upon the first convenient opportunity.
Why cold weather comes during the season
when 1t is least agreeable.
why ft Is SO much easier to be polite to people

ZION THE STAR.
INDIAN SUMNER.

Never did days in far Pacific seas
Rest with more loving ministry of light,
Warmth and delicious haze on gardens, bright
With glow of tropical flowers and birds, than these
Which now caress December. In the lees
OF summers wine fingers magic might
Bringing aRan June's sensuous delight,
intoxicating air and birds and bees.
Through the dark pine futters the drowsy air,
As if for rest after wide journeyings;
And the glad tree, holding his welcome guest,
Lists to the tale of its leng, fruitless quest
For SUMMER lands in which to fold its wings:
And the tree murmurs answer. "none there are. ,
II.
AS sweet strain of music dies away
Trembling along some old cathedral's wall,
Lifting the heart as by seraph's call
Into world lit by purer ray,
Then ceases; while we seem to hear the play
OF vibrant notes still down the warm air fan,
Until the soul, half free from selfish thran
Feels earth it can no longer stay; y.
So the rich sunshine of the summer time,
Lingers in dying beauty on the hills
Until these days, when winters hoary rime
liz wont to crisp the flowers and check the ris.
And through the lucent sky we almost see
A path lead up to Gods Eternity.

New Currency Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The House
to-day passed the bill for the redemption
of the subsidiary silver coins. This is
very important measure to merchants
and dealers who are obliged to receive
subsidiary coin in payment for goods and
wares and will also, if it becomes law,
enhance the purchasing power of the la
boring mans currency. The bill as it
passed the House provides that silver
coin of smaller denomination than one
dollar shall be exchangeable into lawful
money when presented at the treasury
or sub-treasury in sums of $40 or any
multiple thereof; that coins received at
the treasury under the provisions of this
act may be exchanged for lawful money
in sums of $50 or the multiples thereof; !;
that subsidiary coins shall be legal
tender in all sums not exceeding $50 /;
and that The minor coins "copper" and
nickel) shall be receivable for postage
and postage stamps to the amount of So.
The coinage committee is considering
several other important propositions in
regard to silver, one of which relates to
the retirement of the trade dollar and its
re-coinage into legal tender dollars.
