Japan's Progress.

On the lat of July, 1890, the japanese
will hold their first election under the
new constitution, which was put in force
by the mjkado on the 18th of February.
This constitution has been long needed
by Japan, ard its adoption is grand
stride in civilization, and makes of what
was once an arbitrary and autocratic
government a limited monarchy. The
emperor, under the new constitution,
is still the executive authority, but he
divides the power of legislation with the
diet. 1t consists of b house of lords and
house of deputies. the members of the
house of lords are of two classes. The
life members are those OF the male mem
bers of the royal family over twenty -one
years, and princes and maTquises
who are over twenty-five years OF age.
The counts, viscounts and baroDs of the
EN- pire elect one fifth of their number
for a Legislative term in the house of
lords. There are also some mobiles who,
having arrived at the ege of thirty, are
nominated by the emperor to hold their
seats for life. The cities of Toxic, kioto,
and Ozaka, and the forty four govern
ment districts nave each member, who
is elected for seven years by the fifteen
higest taxpayers of the district. The
house of deputies are about 800 in nnme
Der. The requirements for deputy are
that he most be thirty years old and pay
at least SIS in national taxes. Every
million of population has gnt deputies
al present, but of every million innabit-
ants there are probably not over 2 500 tax
payers who pay SIS taxes and who alone
have the right to vote for deputy. The
chnstitutior guarantees free speech and a
free press within the limits not antagon
istic to peace and good government,
and prohibits The arrest, i'm prisonment,
or punishment of any citizen without
due process OF law.

FARM AND HOME
THE HORSE.
FRANCIS 5. SMITH

OF all the ever animals
That humbly tread the earth
To work for careless, thankiess man.
The horse has great st worth.
A very giant in his strength,
And yet withal so mill.
That he will readily obey
An invalid or child.
How patient and how tractabIe,
How willing he 70 toll
A very slave 10 man, aud yet
The monarch Of the soil.
The meanest sTeed Is worth regard,
But beautiful to see
Is one of choicest lineage
And perfect symmetry.
No pen can do him justice,
And cen the limne 5 art
Will fail perfect idea
OF the racer to impart,
His form may be depicted,
But the hre Is in his eye,
The fire that anilnateS his frame,
These, every art defy.
HEIGHT, sixteen hands; his color, black
Al arched neck full AMI strong,
A pair of eyes that shine like stars,
MaIn, tan, anu foretop sharp,
Ears like Il foxs, small ard sharp,
With nos;rils large ana tnln,
And showing, when expanded Vile,
The blood red tint within.
His launches nodded splendidly,
His shoulders large and strong
Breast full, arms stout, limbs very fine,
But firm, and not TO ling
Knees powerful. but clean and trim
Hoofs high, with open heels,
Leg action when III motion, which
The lightning, speed reveals.
What grace in every movements,
When his proud blood doth stir
How he leaps from the solid earth
In answer to the spur!
He is my equine beau-ideal.
While bounding DER the course;
But find him where l may, love
The great, strong. noble horse.

HowsRomans.Enjayed Life.


The lavish eSper 6iture of the Romans
on the coe1a the great meal of the day,
was often fabulous. Vitellus is actually
reported to have squsndered 400 sester-
tia, about IS 22S, on his daily supper
though surely this must be monstrous
exsgs The celebrated feast 10
which he invited his brother Lucius c st
5000 sesterits, or $40 $50. Sustonius
relates that il consisted of 1900 differ
ent dishes of fish and 1000 of fowls, ard
this did not exhaust the bill of fare.
His daily food was luxurious and varied
beyond precedent. The deserts OF Lydia,
the shores of Spain, snd the waters of
the Ca pataiau seas were diligently
searched TO furnish his ss6ls with dain
ties, while the savage wiids of Britain
had to besr their part IN replenishiug
his lsrder. Had he reisned long Jusephus
says that he wosli have exhausted The
wealth of the Roman Empire itself.
II Jus Eerus, another of these WORTHLESS,
was equally profuse IN the extravaganza
of his suppers. 1t is said that a single
entertainment, to which only dlr u
guests were invited, 100000 sesterces-
5000 sestertia, that is-or nearly 45S 500.
History relates that his whole hfe was
passed eating and drinking, in the W In ,
tuous retreats of Daphne, or at the luNGr-
ious bal quets OF Antioch. So profuse,
indeed, WAS the extravaganza of these
times that to entertain an emperor was
to face almost certain ruin; one dish
alone at the table of Helogabslus is said
to have cost about $4,000 of our money.
No wonder these i'm perisl feasts were
heightened out for hours, and that every
artlhce, often revolving in the extreme,
was used to proloog the pleasure of eat
ing, or that PhIloxeLus should have
wished that he had the throat of crane
with delicate palate all the way down
One does not like to associate the name
of Julius Cesar with habits of low glut
tony that would disgrace prize fghter,
aud yet, if oar memory does not play Us
false, even he did not disdsiu to take
emetlcs to return to his banquet With q
keel appetite.
