In its integrity the art Of Japan is hon
est, wholesome, characterized by n child
like fondness for color and oddity OF
form, decorative in the highest degree,
yet without strain or affectation. A
japanese artist knows little about per.
spective, but he knows foreground ma
lure so well that even his convention.
allied objects are not too far removed
from their model for recognition. His
vines have spring and coil; his flower
have bloom and freshness; his fish and
birds and quadrupeds have motion; hi.
clouds fly and his rivers roll. Technical
facility. together with power of hdap-
tation, selection and conventionalization
are possessed by him in n remarkable de-
gree; indeed. no European artist or dec
orators have the readiness OF invention
and application that these orientals
have.
The Japanese who paints for a few
pence a day will dash upon a fan OF
umbrella n bit Of color. n hint of land
scape maybe. or n swinging bough Of
cherry blossoms, and the work will
occupy him two minutes. When he has
finished he has painted something that
fits his object better than the minute
and labored work of a French ideals or
English follower OF patterns. This
facility is in large measure hereditary;
for the half civilized people, as our
school biographies used TO call them.

After all, the gulf which separates
mankind from the animal world is no 50
wide. Striking parallels in character
and temperament frequently present
themselves. l am not an admirer of
sanguinary pastimes; neither a cooking
main nor a dog-fght, IS an affair of
choice, is 10 my taste, but one day / was,
perchance, and / may also say perforce.
the witness Of an encounter, the salient
features Of which have not yet ceased to
afford me amusement and abundant food
for reflection. Ii is the daily habit of a
number Of vagrant cats Il rendezvous in
the area back of my house. The gener-
osity Of my cook doubtless lends much
10 the attractiveness of these occasions.
My attention was drawn TO something
which appeared like the second joint of
a turkey, toward which two monster
felines were cautiously approaching from
opposite directions.
A third cat sat with placid gravity
upon the fence. After various
manouvres of a strategic character,
one Of the contestants slowly allowed
his fore-paw to descend upon the coveted
morsel. Like the trumpet blast in an
old-time tournament, this signaled the
onslaught. In another moment they
Were rolling, tumbling and bowling,
while n shower Of sand and fur fell far
and wide. For some time, during which
the conflict waxed fiercer and %iercer,
the third cat sat motionless, but with an
evidently increasing interest in the fray.
So soon, however, As it was plain that
the two principals were altogether
occupied in chewing up each others ears,
the third quietly climbed down, ~leisurely
walked over, seized the bone of conten-
ton, and hastily disappeared from view.
There was something so forcibly sug-
gestive, and withal so ludicrous in this
phase of the battle, that in my i'm
moderate laughter I quite lost sight of
its denouement. - New York Town

Five hundred Indian warriors. armed
With Winchestcrs and the best revolvers,
were there TO kill the beef. Steer after
steer was let out OF the pens, and these
warriors ran them over the prairie. kill
ing them as they would buffalo. Ono
old copper-skinned rascal stood by tho
chute, and as the gate would be- raised to
let out the animal he would hit him on
the root Of the tail with a stone hammer
TO make him run. The poor brute would
roar with pain, and then the gate would
be raised aud he would dash cut across
the prairie with half -a-dozen young In
dams after him. Then the sport would
begin. Fint one young warrior would
shoot a horn of, then another would
break n leg. and 80 on. The poor ami
NAL would be tortured 10 death by slow
degrees, Ids death being put of as long
as possible 10 the sport might last longer.

The election OF members of the tenth
legislative assembly of Wyoming, which
will meet in January 1883, will probably
not take place until November 1887. 1t
will therefore be necessary for congress to
gaiDsuihorize the governor. secretary and
president Of the council to appportiou the
territory To council and house districts on
the basis ofthe vote cast next autumn. II

Suppose, however, the German emperor
should die to-day. what will be the effect
on the policy of Germany? Hitherto it
has been shaped, governed and directed
by the iron will of Prince Bismarck, with
the loyal and unwavering support of his
imperial master, who was an implicit be-
lever in the divine right of kings in
general and OF emperors more particu-
larly. lie had n profound contempt for
the people and despised his brother, the
reigning sovereign. for making conces-
sions 10 them in that revolutionary year.,
1913. Bismarck's scorn for them and for
parliaments is equally intense. Both be-
lieve in ~bayonets, breech-loading rifles
and Krupp's steel guns. Both are of
opinion that Providence always fights ON
the side of the heaviest battalion and
both are attached to the principles of
military despotism.
But the future emperor Of Germany Is
n man Of a different stamp. He has none
OF the absolutist beliefs of his father and
is said to be free from the warlike tend
encies of that -potentate. He is very
much under the influence of his wife.
Between ~Our Fritz AS he is called in
Berlin. and his accomplished wife ON
one side and Prince Bismarck on the
other there never have been cordial re-
lations. On the contrary there have
been GOODNESS and arrangements. The
prince imperial will wish to resign ss a
constitutional monarch. He belongs to
the new era. His princess, educated un-
der the personal car of one Of the most
constitutional sovereigns in Europe, with
whom she has been in close correspond
ence ever since her own marriage. is
sagacious enough to perceive the bur
dens which the military establishments
OF Germany impose upon an impovcr-
ished people and how socialism Is in
fecting the toiling millions.

In the winter time the great herds OF
reindeer nave migrated southwark. and,
though a few are TO be found on he
hunting grounds, it is a precarious living
for ever n family. let alone a large viii
lage. The wafrus is the main depend
enc at this season of the year. and when
the wind is n-shore, or not blowing at
all, il il found on the outer edge Of the
ice-foe and ice-packs. and there secured
by the native hunters. When the WIND
is oa-shore the ice-pack goes sailing out
to sea. leaving nothing but the shore ice,
called the foe. On this itinerant ice-pack
the walrus takes passage, and goes out to
sea for n ride, leaving the foe, which he
seldom visits unless the ice-pack be near.
This going out and coming in of the
drifting pack is always going on with
the variable winds, tides, and currents,
and it is only during favorable times that
the walrus can be caught. but these
times vary so rapidly with the others
that the alert Esquimau can always keep
himself well supplied with walrus meat
if he takes full advantage Of his oppor-
tunities. II these winds are long pro-
tracted, and the Esquimau is not well
supplied, he often has a tough time" in
stead OF tough meat TO contend with.
The seal is something of a dependence,
but n most unreliable creature withal,
the entire district being depopulated for
months ut n time and then swarming
with them. IL Is easy to see that a
