A JAPANESE HoUsEBoAT.

has given occasion for the publication
OF an immense mass Of literary mat
ter concerning its people.
The early books on Japan have all
the freshness of a subject entirely
new. They deal with a people who,
for ages, were so completely separated
from the rest of the world that with
them the hands Of the clock of time
seem to have been at a standstill for
centuries. Everything was strange.
The dress, the of the peo-
pie, the customs prevalent every
where among both high and low, the
houses, the legal system, the religion,
the ordinances of worship, the physi-
Cal appearance of the people them
selves, all were so completely out of
the ordinary line of occidental eXpe-
rience, that had a traveller been sud-
denly transported to another planet
he could not have been more surprised
at what he beheld. But, with the
extraordinary acuteness that is dis
tinguishingly characteristic of the
Japanese people, they were quick to
see that in some respects the men
from the West had greatly the adj
vantage Of themselves, and with rare
good sense they determined to aban-
don their own ways and adopt those
Of the strangers. This determine
tion was not arrived at hastily, but
after the most careful consideration
of the respective merits Of the two
cuSfnnnc nn6 q cnhor nnnp1IlCinn that
the interests of their nation could be
best forwarded by making the change.
Hence it is that the social and politi-
Cal institutions of Japan are a COM
posite of those of other countries;
the system of justice has been bOr-
rowed from one, the system of police
from another: one has contributed
the newspaper, and another the news
paper censorship, and so on through
the list. Nor can it be said that the
systems are awkwardly used, for the
natural cleverness Of the Japanese is
such that they are able to discern
what parts of any given system are
suitable and what are unsuitable to
their own social and political needs,
and thus have made a judicious Sc
lection, combining the pieces in such
a manner as to produce a result
which, while not in every respect en-
tirely satisfactory, is yet a great i'm
provement on the native original.
The effort to use Western institu-
tions in an Eastern fashion has, how
ever, been productive of some curious
consequences. The Japanese have

time to devote to culture and the
means of acquiring it. The love OF
art seems to be universal among this
singular peop'e, and not only do they
show the love, but, in no inconslder-
able degree, even the humblest dis
play an executive ability. One trav-
eler records seeing a large crane light
on a tree in a village, and, instead OF
somebody hurrying away for a gun, a
dozen produced note -boOksand pencils
and sat down ON the ground to sketch
the bird. Another tells how the cook
who prepared the meals for the party
amused the children by dashing OIL
little sketches by the hour; still an
other was carried by ordinary Jap
anese bearers, men of the lowest Or
der of laborers, to an unfrequented
shrine somewhere in the woods, and
to his amazement found that two or
three of the carriers had while wait
ing made sketches of the temple and
vicinity, and these efforts were not
mere scrawls or blOuches, but pos.
sessed a fair order of merit. A cOun.

mean antagonist either in commerce
or wal. Up to this time the Japan
ese have displayed no special desire
for military achievements. but the
extreme readiness they have shown in
mastering the arts of Western civil
zation justities the belief that in the
field they will exhibit the same deX-
terity and be rewarded with the
same success that has attended their
efforts in more peaceful lines.

She does not generally remain there
long. The retirement in which Japan
csc women live soon becomes very
dull to a professional beauty, who
has passed her life in pleasing the
public, and after Il few months Of Sc
clusion she is generally again seen in

for the Japanese what the

ennuied men Of that country-enable
the hours to pass more quickly and
shed over the scenes of revelry alight
that would not otherwise be obtain
able, for the japanese wives are not
allowed to see much company, and
are consequently rather stupid.
There is n thing that car be said
for the Japanese; no matter Of what
rank or condition in life, they are al
ways entertaining to the stranger,
whether in their palaces, more ornate
and highly adorned than even those
Of the Chinese; whether at their de-
votions in the temples that are daily
finding fewer worshipers within their
walls; whether travelling to and fro

or at play, in jest or in earnest, they
are always a source of interest to
those who from business or curiosity
are thrown with them, and the
amount of literature concerning
them is likely to increase rather
than to diminish for a long time to
come.

er in the land of the Hindoos, says
the New York Recorder, the Mrs.

always wears q solar "topee," with a
gauze veil around it, even at after,

SONS like the rose in gorgeous ap-
parel. She converses with the native
butler concerning the status of his
people, and quotes him largely
among the people who display a
shameful indifference on the subjects
which interest her.
The athletic young woman does
not flourish to quite the same degree
in India as in England. The climate
is against it. But a modified form
of the athletic girl in the "man's
woman" is a prominent feature of So
ciety. She rides we'll and has a
graceful seat and a pretty figure, but
long rides and long walks tire her.
She dresses beautifully, whether in
tailor-made gowns at the meets, or
sheeny ball gowns, or graceful tea
robes. 1t is in these last that she is
most herself. In them she manages
to seem more cordial, more hospita-
BILE, almost more tender than in any,
thing else.
But the commonest type is the
simulated simpletOn. She cannot
ride her own pony. She is afraid Of
him; he once SHE'D and she fell off,
but she thinks she might manage to
mount that dear little Arab of Cap
tain Wards, if he would take her
for a short and very quiet ride. She
feels the heat dreadfully. Madras is
such a trying climate, but she could
not possibly undertake the journey
to the hills alone. She never tray
eled alone but once, and then her
travelling bag and ticket and all her
money were stolen by some "horridi
native, and Jack was so cross.." She
would rather wait until she can find
some manly escort. 1t is so much
p~leasanter to have a mar to look
after you and your luggage. and she
even shrinks from the care of her
own purse. The simulated simpletOn
is not so simple as she seems, and she
has one great advantage I'VE her SIS
ters-a considerable knowledge, In,
nate or acquired, of the weakness Of
man. Not for her the toll and
trouble of daily life.

dance. In Japan a man does not go
to a tea house to enjoy his own COM
pany; so, if on pleasure bent, he re-
quests the attendant to summon a
geisha girl. A geisha is not neces-
sarily a social outcast, though it is
said she is not always proof against
either gold or temptation; she is a
girl who has been sold by her parents
to a master for the purpose Of being
trained to do just what she does-tO
amuse individuals or social parties In
need of entertainment. In her way
she is accomplished. She has an
abundance Of repartee, and a talk
with a liveliness that Western belle
might envy; she can play innumera-
BILE games with cards and other de-
vices; she can sing in a high falsetto
voice that will bring tears to your
eyes, and she can dance with a grace
that will surprise a stage manager.
Her dancing, it is true, is mostly
pOsturing, with graceful manipula-
tions Of the fan she always carries,
but her attitudes are all tasty and
generally refined, her pastures are
never contortions She is always
richly dressed, this being a part Of
her business, and while the larger
share Of her earnings is absorbed by
her master, the presents she receives
are often sufficient to constitute a
handsome income in themselves. All
depends on her popularity. If she is
much in demand at the entertain
ments Of the wealthy, she may look
forward to becoming the wife or fav-
orite of some rich man. who buys her
freedom and installs her in his house.

After a galley has been set up, a
proof is taken and sent to two proof
readers, one Of whom says the copy
to the other. The office is thus a
scene Of continual talk, chant and
confusion, but the Japanese are sat-
isled, and so long as they are con-
tent nobody else has any just cause Of
complaint, but the effort to use an
occidental institution in an oriental
style causes a singular incOrgruity.
The same effect is visibly produced
in society when an attempt is made
to combine the East and the West in
the matter Of dress. The native
japanese costume is picturesque and
very striking, but when to a Japanese
gown or tOga is added a swallow
tailed coat and a stove-pipe hat, the
effect is often very drOll. The march
of progress, however, has not spared
the Japanese raiment, and there are
many social circles in the larger
cities where European dress is the
rule, and a reversiOn to the native
costume is regarded almost as a re-
lapse into barbarism.
Still, however, the wave of West
ern civilization has not overwhelmed
the people of Japan. Even in the
leading centers of population the ma
tive dress is worn by more people
than adopt the foreign, while at 9TH
er points the native life has hardly
been touched, or, at least, seems not
to have been, by Western influences.
In the villages and country the ia
| panese character is seen in it's native
simplicity, or, as some one has said,
native duplicity, for, like the heather
Chinee, the Jap is peculiar, and so
clever in bargaining. in buying and
selling that John is a fool compared
to him. There is one native char

Gen. Sherman and the Poet Stanton

Frank L. Stanton, the Georgia
poet, preserves II queer memory Of
General Sherman. When the Union
forces invaded Savannah the General
placed a guard at the house of the
poets father, who was a Northern
man, and afterward visited him.
While he was there the in'antile poet
came into the room, and Sherman,
taking him upon his knee, said:
"This is a fine fellow, but his head is
a heap too big" Stanton became a
"devil" in a printing office and after.
ward a compositor before he began to
produce the verses that have made
him celebrated in the South.
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1894-11-08

acteristic which Western progress
has not yet been able to touch, the
unfailing good temper Of the people.
No matter what happens, a Japanese
crowd is always in a good humor. A
couple of bearers may come along
with a traveller in the curious native
continuance that answers for a cab;
with d shout they plunge into the
crowd, push its members right and
left, and in the most uncermO-
NOUS smanner elbow their way
through; in any European coun-
try, or even in America, such a
proceeding would cause half a
dozen fights in as many minutes, but
the japanese only laugh. Every
thing in Japan is done politely.
When a policeman feels it his duty
to make an arrest he does it with
smiling urbanity, and he and his pro-
posed prisoner bow and scrape to
each other like a pair of dancing
masters. With as much Suavity as
the occasion will permit, the native
"peeler" produces a piece Of cord,
passes it several times round the
body of the offender, gently ties his
hands behind him, and, taking the
| loose end of the string, escorts him
to the station house, where, in the
| French fashion, his case is at once
inquired into by a magistrate. The
! arrest and process of binding are
watched with open-eyed interest by a
crowd of people, but as soon as the
| representative of the law has disap-
peared with his captive everybody
laughs. There is nc sympathy for the
poor fellow on his way to the Gala
boose; nobody threatens the officer; it
is all only a very good joke, which is
momentarily enjoyed and forgotten.
This characteristic levity has given
rise to one of tie peculiar institu-
tions of Japan-the tea house and
the geisha girl pronounced gaysha).
The tea house is to the japanese
what the saloon, the club, the hotel
rotunda, the restaurant. the theater,
and a few other resorts ar$ to the
men of other lands-a place where
rest, refreshment Of any kind, and
recreation may all be had in abun
