Land Laws of Japan.

The leading vernacular journals OF
Japan agree in regarding the recently
issued regulations for the sale Of land in
Hokkaido as most important. A promin
ent purpose of these regulations is to pre-
vent the purchase OF large tracts by
spectators who have no intention of en-
gaging in agricultural pursuits. hut
merely contemplate holding land with
the hope of rise in its value. To obvi-
ate such speculation, the area purchas-
able by one person is now limited to
100, 900 stubo, or about eighty acres.
and it is also provided that official
inspections shall he made annually with
the view Of determining whether the
land is being applied to the purpose an
nounced originally by its holder.
All land not thus utilized will be re-
sumed possession of by government. In
addition the land will not become the ac-
tual property of its cultiyator until after
the expiration of ten years. During that
time he will have the use Of it rent free,
and should his decade of experience
prove attractive, the option of purchasing
the fee simple for 81. 20 per acre will then
he given him. Thus the arrangement
amounts TO this-that anyone intending,
bone fide. TO engage in agricultural pur
suits can procure the free use of eighty
acres of land, with the certainty of
being able to purchase It in perpetuity, at
the end of ten years, for 81 20 per acre.
During those ten years he will be exempt
from laDd or local taxes, but nothing is
said about export taxes, which are the
great incubus upon all industry in Hokka-
ido.-Japau Mail.

Tn. summj, of Mount Tacoma.

The view was ineNpressibly grand and
comprehensive, although the whole land
scape, below an altitude of 5000 feet,
was swallowed up in a sea of yapor,
leaving the higher mountains standing
out like islands, as we had seen them the
night before. An occasional gust of wind
would tear open the veil for a few mo-
ments, exposing to momentary view the
precipitous canyons and crags for thou
sands of feet down the mountains sides.
We seemed TO be floating in dark blue
ocean, having no connection with the
earth below, and the mountain appeared
to rest gently upon its encompassing
clouds.
The narrow ridge upon which we stood
was the dividing line between two era
tiers, nearly circluar, opening out TO the
east and the west, their rims inclining
from each other at an angle of about
fifteen degrees. The western crater, the
larger of the two, was some four hum
dred yards in diameter, and filled with
snow up to within sixty feet of its rocky
edges. Occasional small Jets of steam, is
suing from the base of its ragged walls,
gave evidence of former volcanic activ-
ity. We could look down into the other
and slightly smaller crater, also, whose
rocky walls, like those Of its neighbor,
stood out bare and distinct above the
snow throughout their entire periphery.
Jets of steam were rising from this one
also at various places.-George Bayley in
Overland Monthly.

HOMES NORTH AND SouIH.
The Northerncr's Business Suit and the
Southeruer's Clean Iiuss.


The past twenty-five years have
wrought another marked change. OF
old, it was the southernsr that travelled
like prince, with = quite Inappropriate
maguificeuce of attire. But now to the
north belong the splendor aud arrogance.
The northern man in his neat travelling
suit, and the northern woman in her
jaunty tailor gown, need not feel abashed
at being confronted by . host of friends
at their journeys end. They arc not
shabby and crumpled and travel-stained,
after the manner of the southerner, who
is apt to wear a cast-off suit for such pur
poses, clearly reasoning that it is the di-
vine right to be dowdy when travelling
But, in the same journey, the northerner
will feel perfectly rehabilitated when he
laS donned fresh collars and cuffs; while
the southerUer's sense OF comfort will de-
mand a complete change OF linen
The average northerner, while neater
In his dress than the average southerner,
is not so cleRnly in his person. One does
not see in southern cities the crowds of
well dressed men in trim business suits
that are such a feature Of the north; but
the irreproachable linen of the southerner
will testify to the truth of the above
statement.
Northern houses are undoubtedly bet
ter kept than those Of the south. The
housekeeper is full of the religion Of
soap and water She ''goes for" a roach
or a bug with = fury of zeal; q speck in
the paint is like a blot on her soul; a fly
is pursued from corner to corner until
killed. Sweeping day comes around
with q regularity thPt savors of the laws
of the inevitable; and one feels that il
cleanliness is peXt 10 godliness, the good
housewife has worked out her salvation
One feels that she will never adopt the
motto, LET sleeping dust lie"
Yet an i'll kept southern house will
often be more of a home than the north
ern house with its shining paint and
spotless walls; infinitely shabbier, as q
