be found some 1900 goats and 1000 sheep on the
island these he has removed, or is removing, and

rather implying it-nOne is more noteworthy
among the Japanese than their cheerfulness at

common to all employments. The japanese
statesman dictates a dispatch or discusses a
Cabinet question with smile on his face; the
financier, more astonishing yet, smiles over the
intricacies ola deficient budget; the preacher
smiles during every pause In his sermon; the
writer at his desk; the shop-keeper smiles while
chaifering with his customer, the servant on
receiving his masters orders, the smith while
forging the metal, the potter manipulating the
clay, the husbandman as he wades kIee-deep In
mud across the rice fields; the bargeman pro-
peiling his clumsy boat against wind and tide
