Social Life In Japan.

In the course Of lecture on Japan
and It's People," delivered in Boston,
Professor +. 5. NOISE said that most
conspicuous feature oftheir intercourse
with each other was their puliteness.
No harsh words are ever heard, no
cagerness for selfish advantage, no
indifference or forgetfulness of tho
feelings Of others. They do not salute
by shaking hands, but by bowing,
unusual consideration Of cordiality
being expressed by profounder bews,
or more numerous repetition thereof
The rich people dress their children
IN the most inferior garment in send
ing them to school, in order that the
feelings of the poor children, who can
get no other, may not be hurt by any
contrast. There is no profanity in
their language. \ triHing mishap or
"iie"se is not unfrequently met among
our people with a vollcy Of oaths; but
Japanese, when wrought up in his
feelings to the highest pitch, never ut
ters any stronger expression than what
in our language would be the ex-
c!nmSiior, How vexatious," They
keep their angry passions under control
yet they do not lack fcrceness. but
make excellent soldiers. Their kind
ness to auima's is extraordinary. The
songs Of will birds are constantly heard
IN the gardeus of the great cities. Birds
of passage nlight in the ponds and
public grounts ofTukio, aud wild deer
come do.m from the mountains and
so about freely and unharmcd
IN the streets of deusely populated
places. Tne driver Of "A vehicle vii!

highway that he may not injure a dog
that is sleeping in the middle of the

Care or Tools and Implements.

Onc of the Heaviest taxes to which
farmer" are subjected is the purchase
a"d repairing Of agricultural imple.
mentS, and in many instances this tax
rs undoubtedly Increased from careless
ness in allowing plows, harrows, and
other implements to be exposed to the
weather when not in use.
There are few simple rules in
regard 20 the care of implements
which IN most cases can be easily
observed. In the first place, every
person having many implements
Sh"dId have house of sufficient size
TO r'o,rmodete all their working tools
aud iA'ements, and IL should be q
fixed 4riremont that whenever
tool is' bot in rso it should be placed
IN II. appropriate position in the tool
house, and before being put away it
should be carefully examined, to see
whether it is broken or damaged in
any manner, and, if so, it should be
marked for repair the first leisure
moment. No tool should be put away

minutes will be required 20 clean it,
which will prevent the rusting of the.

implement: a. the share. mold board
and coulter of tho plow. and the blades
ct axes, ma:tocE, spades, mo~ing>
machines, ctc., should be oiled to
prevent rusting they will then be in
readiness for use at any moment.
Every wooden part Of an implement
should he painted at least once a wear,
and evNe twice year for those that

work good mineral paint is the
best for these purposes. Paint not

and appearance, all demand care in

The Brain and Habit.

Every habit has la basis in phyical
change. The more we use muscle
or nerve, the greater will be the flow
of blood to it-unleSs va over use and
exhaust it; and exhaustion ALWAYS
tends in the direction Of death.
Thus the fuller fed muscle or nerve
Is enlarged and strengthened, and is
supplied with larger amour, of force
and n frcer Cow. This causes fire.
quently repeated and long continued
acts 10 become habitual. It can be
seen from this natural law that when
one unGuly indulges his appetite,
propensities and passions, physical
changes are effected which generally
contiol the man against lbs Judgment
and his conscience.
1t is the same with moral acts. The
brain Of the nun who yields to envy,
Jealousy, hate, or avarice becomes so
changed that be is at length fairly en-
siavod and embrutcd by these feelings.
So, too, the man who is constantly
repeating acts Of kindGcss, not only
finds it easy to perform them, even at
the expense Of ease and selC-denial,
but derives his highest hnppiucs, from
SO doing.
Ot t"o men, not great ' unlike at
first, one may accumulate his millions
only to gloaL over them the other to
cxpend thcm i'll world wide bcrcyo-
Ience. In the case of the miser, the
nervous energy is absorbed in mere
gain, while the other powers shrivel
aud he whn9e soul becomes fearfully
endwSrfed. .lu The case Of nc phi
lanthropiot, on the contrary. all the
powers are enlarged by their mutual
reaction, and a' with George Peabody,
his schemes Of benevolcnce become as
grand and varied ss his busiress
enterprises.
The same is true in all other cases.
Al! enslsving passions degrade by a
physical law rs true aud rs inevitable
rs that Of sravitation and all noble
impulses, generous affections and right
doing enlarge and FIX the character in
goodness rs truly and as inevitably.
eonaectiou between the mind aud the
brain may be, it certainly exists. Tho
two touch at every point, and every
volIi;on, avery motion, and every act
Of the first stamps itself indelibIy OH
the second, With constant tendency
to fxedness Of charact,r at one pole
or at the other. - YOUTHS CompQyioa.
