JAPoNIcA By Sir Edwin Arnold, NJ A. X c. l. r..
PIP. 1913. Charles Scribner's Sons.
This handsome volume contains the authors
first impressions of Japan, and it should be read in
connection with Sir Edwin Arnolds fuller pre-
sentiment Of his views in Land and Sea- The charm
which Japan and the Japanese threw over him
ON his first landing in Nippon strengthened
by time and fuller experience, and he was not
compelled TO modify any of the opinions which
are expressed with much enthusiasm in these
pages. II is indeed in no way surprising that an
educated and sensitive Western man, endowed with
the poetic temperament should find in the Japa-
nese a people whose natural refinement. gentleness
and courtesy puts TO shame the coarse, unmah-
nerIy and often brutal behavior of those NATIONS
who pretend to higher civilization. For what
can be more opposed to Western HABITS thah the
fact that the japanese have not an eNpieuVe Ill
their language, and what stronger testimony 10
their character as people can be imagined. The
implications of this fact are obviously significant
Ii alone expresses more than the most eloquent
and enthusiastic traveller can put in words. For
what so-called Christian city is there in the whole
world wherein the visitor and the inhabtant are
not constantly forced TO hear the most profane
and foul language: and what so-called Christian
nation is there that has not in its language great
vocabulary of oaths and vituperative eplthets
In Japan the people neither curse nor swar' ana
clearly this is because they have risen above the
barbarism that manifests itself in scurre language
To fall among such people, the humblest and
poorest of whom habitually use courtesy and
gentleness elsewhere confined to the educated and
wcll-to-do classes is TO be made to feel as though
a new world had been entered.
II is the general diffusion of refinement among
the japanese that surprises all travellers. Moth
ing of the kind is to be found elsewhere. With
the causes of this state of things Sir Edwin Arnold
he's dealt at considerable length in his other book
recently reviewed by The Tribune. but here he
is first encountering what seems to foreigners SO
abnormal situation, and he shows how deeply
IL has impressed him. He is also amazed at the
nature and extent of the national art cult, and de-
lighted with the people whom he meets. When
the articles which compose this volume were
written. he had not been long in Japan, but he
had already seen great deal, and had observed
everything with the quickneSs and shrewdness
of the trained journalist. Apart from the brill
fancy and interest of the text, "JapOnica" is
charming gallery of japanese sketches, the illustra-
ions of Mr.. Blum being both graphic and pictu-
rescue His artistic instinct has been reinforced
by a sympathy which is apparent in all his work,
and the volume altogether is not only admirably
adapted TO the uses of gift-book, but is valuable
as clever and appreciative introduction to a
wonderful country and still more wonderful
people.

HOW 1T HAPPENS.

Why Purchasers Sometimes Fail to Got
All They Pay For.
"Many people WONDER" said gentleman
to HERALD man the other day, 'why 1t is
that there is frequently a difference between
the quantity of goods purchased and the
quantity received. Naturally, the store
keepers are accused of careless, If not dis
honest, practices, and that, too, even when
they solemnly assure their customers that the
matter is entirely beyond their comprehension.
To-day witnessed an incident which throws
little light on the subject. Near the corner
Of Twelfth and l streets one Of the numerous
delivery wagons OF one of the great stores of
the city met the delivery wagon OF large
grocery store. Both wagons were heavily
loaded with goods. Both drivers pulled up,
and, after few moments conversation, the
import of which could alone divine from the
action which followed, the driver of the
grocery team reached back and hauling forth
large box opened paper sack and handed
his friend several fine apples, which the latter
carefully slowed away in his pockets. OF
course, the customer for whom those apples
were intended was robbed, and no doubt will
accuse the grocer Of short measure, while he,
having implicit confidence in the honesty OF
his driver and clerks, will be sorely perplexed
for fitting explanation
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-12-27

Having thought it out, and having satisfied
ourselves that the motive prompting it is
good and wholesome we should then act
upon it at once, and, of course, continuously.
A very good motto in this connection, as in
deed very good one at all times. is this:
Think out your own life and live out your own
thought. The general tendency of man is
good, but he does not think, and hence wrong
exists. Therefore, 1 would say think, young
man, think well and long,
The Rev. DR.. Domer, pastor Of st. Paul's
English Lutheran Church, said: ''The best
time to make good resolutions is when we see
the need of them, and if made then the Gus
tom is good one whether the time be New
Years Day or another. There is undoubtedly
something in the change from the old to the
new year which awakens in man the desire, IL
not always the purpose, to turn over new
leaf. Very few Of us come to that period of
the year without hope Of making the new
year better than the old one was. Such hope
is indicative of progress. 1 think, however,
that this hope of making the new year better
than the old one is born at Christmas, a
festival particularly one OF home and child
life Then 1t is that we of a larger growth are
children once again, and we look back over
our past snd see how greatly it could be
bettered. The Christmas festival is an excla-
nation point in our lives, and marks the
utterance OF a wish, of hope to begin life
anew and make 1t better. So 1t is that out of
the hope born at Christmas springs the forma-
tion Of good resolutions entered in upon at the
beginning OF the new year.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-12-27

he said, "that Colonel IDgersoll does not be-
lieve in God, but we who know Colonel lnger-
soil and do believe in God, know that God
believes In him"
Here's the latest about another famous
character-ex Speaker Reed. The Congress
man, who is a very stout man, was in London
the other day and was just about to enter
cab when the driver said, "Hst go in quietly;
don't want to have the horse see you"
think it was an old bachelor who said,
mature shudders when she sees woman at
tempt to throw a stone. But when she at
tempts to split wood, Nature covers her head
and retires to a dark and mouldy cave in
despair"
Here is farmers complaint about some of
his city boarders last summer: tThere are
some things L don't like about city folks.
Some of them are so stuck up you can't reach
them with hay-stack pole, and others are
so blamed friendly they forget to pay their
board" Yes, this is the same farmer who
went into a city hotel the other day and on
being handed the menu was not at all sur
prised or disconcerted as he turned around to
the waiter and said: Bring me everything,
Pm from the country"
