Master and Servant In Japan.

The relations of masters and servants
are as admirable as possible. They are
mutual and confidential. While the
servant studies the interest of the mas
ter, the latter makes the welfare of the
servant and his family his duty. The
servant is made to feel that lie is factor
of some importance in his employers
business by being consulted upon many
matters Of importance. The master is
polite and kind and the servant defer
ential and respectful on all occasions.
The relation of parents and children
show the same refining influences. There
is no assumption Of the drillmaster. no
exaction .N blind obedience. no ruling
by fear on the part of the parent.
Obedience is induced by patient teach
ing day after day. The childis lovingly
taught why he should do certain things.
and why he should not do certain other
things. The bond between parents and
children is one Of reason and regard,
and the result is that the child makes
his duty to the parent the foremost OBJ.
ject of his life. and his own interests are
made entirely secondary. A foreigner
might live in that country for years and
see less parental tyranny and violence
than he would see in most families in
some other countries in month, and he
can see more filal devotion there in a
month than is observable elsewhere in
years. Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

A Siberian Railway Project.

The Novoe Vremya is again talking of
o railway to the Pacific across Siberia.
The project is absurd; not because such
line could not be made, but because
the expense Of construction is more than
Russian finances could stand or that the
circumstances Of the country traversed
would justify. The Transcapsian line to
the Afghan frontier is a mere bagatelle
compared with Siberian line through
20 Vlalivostock. The former is under
500 miles; while the latter would be
nearly half as long again as the Canadian
Pacific, and would run for most of the
way through much more difficult coun-
try. Practically nothing has been done
SO far to favor SO stupendous q project;
the Ufa Zlatoust section of railway to
Ekaterinburgh having only lately been
decided upon, after years of dispute over
the conflicting claims of different towns.
One Russian enthusiast for Pacific
railway has estimated $4,000, 900 pounds
sterling as not too little for the enter
prise. The Canadian Pacific from Mon
treal to Port Moody cost fully $4,000, 900
pounds sterling for construction alone.
The Russians will have to devote many
years to turning their gun metal into
plowshares and their bayonets into
pruning hooks before the Siberian rail-
way project becomes feasible. Mean
while the isolated position Of the Amoor
provinces win invite the occupation of
the first maritime power that Russia
finds herself at war with.-Pan Mall

self.
Thoroughbred horses, il unsuccessful
on the racecourse, are of little use else
where. In drawing a wagon they fret
and worry and want to run at the speed
that is most natural to them, and rarely
live long when put to hard work. A
race horse that can not win race is the
poorest property in the world. But
what becomes of those that run and win
races. The average term Of horses on
the turf is five years. They commence
racing as 2-year-olds, and very few re-
main on the course able to win races
after they have reached the age Of Q
years. After that time those who have
been very successful in winning rich
stakes and prizes for their owners are
sent to stock farms and cared for dur
ing the remainder of their lives. Some
of them are taken care of by the men
who have grown rich on the earnings Of
their four-footed friend. and one in par
ticular that is thus honored is old bald
faced Monitor. For years he success
fully carried the popular orange and
blue to the front, defeating the fastest
racers that could be brought against
him, and now that he is getting old and
has lost his speed, Mrs. Lorllard says

Tenements for the Poor,

One OF the fads Of rich men with
abundant leisure on their hands is to
build model tenement homes for the
poor. But the trouble Is that the effort
il too sporadic and the amount Of good
accomplished is infinitesimal. What
could be accomplished by a general cru
sade is seen in the snarl Of one rich
property owner at another: -Confound
you, your freaks have cost me $1,000
for repairs, because my tenants threat
ened to move out unless put my houses
in as good shape as yours" This Illus
trates well the force Of example.
The pllilanthropic association which
Professor Felix Adler originated has filed
plans for four more model tenement
houses in Cherry street. They are ex.
pccted to accommodate 100 families with
good rooms at low rent, and yet 10 re
turn their promoters fair dividend on
their investment. IL Is excellent as fal
as 1t goes, but the rehousing of our poo
under proper sanitary conditions Is a
undertaking altogether appalling in at
immensity. Yet 1t can be done as
ought to be.-New York Cor. Philadel

The late improvement in the wheat
market, which by the way the HERALD
foreshadowed months ago, ha, been a
big bonanza to the grangers of Southern
California in common with their honest
brethren all over California and the
Union for that matter For example the
Laguna Farming Company estimate that
they have something like $4,000 sacks
OF wheat, or 10000 centals. The late

From time to time for many months
Judge Cheney's Court has been subjected
to peculiar annoyance owing to the re-
fusal of complaining Witnesses to give
the same testimony against defendants
which they gave in the lower courts,
and upon which testimony defendants
have been held to answer to the Supe.
rior Court. For example, complaining
witness gives evidence in the Justice
Courts which justifies the holding of q
defendant The defendant is according
ly locked up to await hearing in the
Superior Court. Sometimes he lays in
fail for number of weeks, and upon
his appearance for examination 1t is
found that there is Insufficient evidence
to convict him on account of refusal Of
complaining witness to testify. This an
noying practice is much in vogue among
the Mexicans and, aside from the trouble
and vexation it causes the court and its
officers, lie the occasion OF no little ex-
pensc to the county. Judge Cheney bad
the pleasure yesterday Of pouncing
down upon an offender Of this character,
in the person Of one Juan Lugo. Lugo
had sworn all manner of things against
one Morino in the lower court, and the
Justice, feeling satisfied that the same
testimony given in the Superior Court
would convict defendant Of the charge
of assault to murder, held him to an.
swer. While Morino was in durance
vile it is quite probable that Lugo effect
ed some sort of compromise with him,
and accordingly. when brought up yes
terday to testify for the State, he re-
fused so to do. This sort of trifing
hiving gone to the utmost extent Of
judicial endurance, His Honor, Judge
Cheney, promptly ordered Lugo into the
custody Of the Sheriff, and the chances
are that his case will be made an exam
pie for this style of offenders at an early
day.

THE pEMoUssEr CASE.
Desendaut Found Guilty by the
InrN.


The TRIAL Of the case OF The People
against Demousset, charged with the
abduction Of the girl, Augustine Coelo'
which has been the center Of interest
for nearly week, was brought to
close yesterday, the jury adiudgiug the
accused guilty as charged, on the firsi
ballot
The trial Of the case has been some
what remarkable one, from the time oil
the arrest Of Demousset to his convic'
ton. Five days were occupied in JUS
tice Austin's court with the preliminary
examination, the result being the dis
charge Of the defendant. Immediately
upon his discharge he was re arrested
and taken before Justice Twitchell, ut
Santa Monica, where. upon examina'
ton. he was held to answer to the
charge OF abduction.
While the testimony OF the witnesses,
especially thai of Miss Coelo, the com
planning witness, was OF the most dam
aging character to the defendant, clearly
showing him to have laid his plans and
gone to work systematically to debauch
the young girl; yet, there bias been
some doubt as to the possibility Of prov
ing him technically guilty OF abduction,
under the law.
The statute requirement thai ii asnsi
be shown that the object Of tho accused
was to reduce the complainant to the
station of q common prostitute. makes
1t exceedingly difficult to convict de
PENDANT OF abiuction. Few people con.
yersant with the facts in the Demousset
case. believe that he wilfully sought to
encompass the ruination Of the girl, fur
thsr than in the satisfaction of bis own
lustful desires. However, there is little
sympathy expressed for him; for, while
he may not be technically guilty of alb.
duction, under the letter Of the law, the
general verdict is that he should be
severely punished.
