Whooping cough has been uncomfort-

it into his head to initiate them. When

The Thrifty japanese.
rom the Fortnightly Revue,


What is the reason that Japan has no
poverty problem? One reason Is probably
to be found In the land system. which has
given to every worker holding and en-
couraged him to supply his wants by his
own labor. Effort has thug been developed
and wants are limited. Another reason lies
in the national taste for country beauty.
Nowhere else are parties formed TO visit
the blossom trees. and nowhere efse are
pilgrimages simply for The sake NJ natural
beauty. A country life has therefore. its
own interest. and men DO not crowd the
cities for the sake OF excitement. There ID,
too, in Japan a curious absence OF ostenta-
tious luxury.
The habits Of living are in all classes
much the same. and the rich DO not OUT
shine the poor by carriages palaces. and
jewelry. The rich spend their money on
curios. which. II costly, are limited. and
the big European houses which ministers
build for themselves. Wealth Is thus not
absorbed. and is more ready FOR investment
in remunerative labor. The last reason
which occurs to the mind Of a traveller with
comparatively few opportunities for form
ing opinions is the equality of manners in
all classes. Rich and poor are alike cour-
teous Ii is not possible to distinguish em-
ployer from laborer by their behavior: al
are clean, all are easy. all are restrained

as the university men whom we met In
Toxic are thus able TO give 10 those whom
they know to be in need. and friendship

ton is will this survive the introduction OF

some of IL may and that Japan may teach
the west how TO deal with the poor.

There are certain formalities to be full
filled by the candidate previo IS to the day
OF the election. Several days before he must
put on record in the mayors Office his can
didacy. with his proof of eligibility and his
oath OF allegiance to the constitution Of the
republic His electioneering has already
been going on for some time. He must be
careful. above all things. to give no money
to any voter, unless he can show that some
service has been rendered for which it is
the pay. A deputy in Brittany got around
the prohibition in this way.
To every voter in the village he gave q
hundred election posters to distribute. For
this service he paid each one So. Every
voter In the village was solernnly going
about handing out these electioneering
tracts. They kept on handing them to each
other. no one being able to decrease his
pile. until they got the idea of FASTING
them against their houses, which they did.
