English papers regarding our trouble

comments of the English papers

1apanese Notions.

The subtleties OF the Japanese mind
are illustrated In nothing more strlk-
tngly than In their rules for the arrange
ment OF flowers. Not only does every
flower which bouquet or garland con-
tains symbolic something, but its posi-
tion with regard to the other flowers Is
significant. Mr.. Conder, in a book on
Japanese flowers, gives some Of these
singular rules.
There are certain flowers, he saws,
which bloom twice In the same year.
These are called by the Japanese re-
tuning flowers" Though these are
considered unsuitable for ordinary occa-
sions, they are especially appropriate
for farewell gatherings, since they ex-
press the hope OF a safe return.
Flowers placed before sick persons In
japan are always put together in a rapid
and unlabored manner, intended to be
vigorous In style, to suggest the idea OF
recovery and strength.
At the ceremony OF praying for the
sick, flower compositions are, for the
same reason, full and gay, as well as
bold and powerful In style.
AS It Is the east wind which brings
rain, floral arrangements used at the
time of praying for rain have their prin-
cipal line pointing from right to left, to
suggest the east wind blowing.
A reverse arrangement is resorted to
on occasions Of prayer for fine weather,
when the principal line, leaning from
left to right, Is made to suggest the west
wind

Americas Loved Bard IL Called to His
Fathers Home.


John G. Whittier. the Quaker poet,
died at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, at Hampton Falls, N. H. The end
was like his life. peaceful, and he passed
away like one falling asleep. His near
est relatives and DR.. Douglass were at
his bedside when death came, and he
seemed to be conscious OF his surround
ings at the last moment. The funeral,
at Amesbury, according to the Quaker
custom, will be simple, with no sermon.
John g. Whittier's latter years had
been beautiful ideal of old age. Long
ago he laid aside the heavy cares Of life
to reap the reward of his labors for man
kind, aad beloved OF a nation and the
entire EnRlish-speaking race he awaited
patiently the summons to his final home.
1t had been his custom OF late years to
spend his summers at Oak Knoll and his
winters at his home In Amesbury, always
among the books he so dearly loved.
His birthplace, near Haverhill, Mass,
still stands, only a little altered from
what 1t was in 1907.
farmers son, born at a time when
New England farm life was more frugal
than 1t Is nowadays, he had none of the
opportunities for culture which Holmes
and Lowell enjoyed in their youth. His
parents were intelligent and upright
people OF limited means, who lived in
the simplicity Of the Quaker faith, and
there was but little in his early sur
roundings to encourage and develop a
literary taste. Whittier's only school
instruction was at a district school and
afterward at the Haverhill Academy,

where he paid for his tuition by
work done out OF study hours.
But he began to rhyme almost
as soon as he was able to read. His
father frowned upon his efforts, which
for long time were kept secret, but his
sister had faith in his work and encour-
aged it. One of his earliest poems,
The Exile's Departure, she sent with
out his knowledge to the Newburyport
Free Press, signing it with his initial,
W., Haverhill, June /, 1896" The
publication of this poem led to the ac-
quaintance and friendship of William
Lloyd Garrison, then the editor of the
paper, friendship which lasted and in
creased until death ended it.
After this 1t was not long before
Whittier's household lyrics gave him
such a hold on the popular heart, as
later, in the struggle for emancipation,
made him power in the land.
1t Is unnecessary to quote from works
30 familiar to almost every reader, but
sufficient to mention such legends as
Skipper Ireson's Ride" "The Witch's
Daughter. MARY Garvin. Memories,
The Playmate" and MAUD Muller"
Probably the most popular quotation in
poetry is the couplet from Maud Null
ler:"
For OF all sad words OF tongue or pen.
The saddest are these. alt might have
been.
Despite his advanced years-he was
two years older than Tennyson and
twelve years the senior of Walt Whit
mamie was until recently sturdy
and active, and the most charming per-
sonality in the world of letters. His
mental powers were keen and acute to the
last. He gave but little time OF late to
literary effort, his eye being dimmed
and his hand unsteady. His latest lit
erary production was poem In the At
lantic to DR.. Holmes, and the last verse
he wrote was on the occasion of DIR.
Holmes recent birthday.
Mr.. Whittier never married. Between
his sister Elizabeth and himself there
existed the rarest and most delicate love
and friendship, which, doubtless, had no
little to do with the poets inspirations.
his home was broken up at her death |
and his heart suffered In the same mis- |
fortune its greatest shock. His niece |
came to him at the death of his sister |
and always strove 10 make that great |
loss as little felt as possible.
Mr.. Whittier was not a rich man, nor |
was he poor. About fifty or sixty thou
sand copies Of his works are sold eyerv
year, and on the revenues thus derived
he was able to pass his declining years
In ease and comfort.
The news of the death of John G..
Whittier was received at Haverhill
with universal feelings of sadness and
regret. The city hall bell was struck
eighty four times at O'Clock as indi-
eating the age of the deceased, and
flags on the public buildings and school
houses were displayed at half mast as
tokens OF respect for the dead poet.
Throughout the literary world the
event. though not unexpected, evokes
the profoundest regret.

Few people know how much 4 annu-

try to give away samples OF their goods.
Placed at a conservative figure, there
are more than three million dollars
worth of goods given away, and con-
sequently destroyed, In samples every
year In the United States. When you
come to figure this out IL means an av-
erage OF five cents apiece for every
man, woman, and child, including all
the babies In the United States. This
three million dollars or more, eventu-
ally, OF course, comes out OF the pock-
cts OF the purchasers, or, more properly
speaking, the consumers of dry goods.
The sample feature OF the dry goods
business Is at once one Of the greatest
nuisances and blessings that we have"
