FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN.

sui, except in the case of Great Britain,
which maintains a court separate from
its consulate. If the alien commits an
offense against japanese law or regula-
tion outside the treaty limits, he can
be arrested by the native police, but he
must be tried and punished if guilty,
by his consul, the Japanese govern

also bound, on the request of Il consul,
to arrest deserters and fugitiveS from
justice who have fled outside treaty
limits. Certain customs fees and regu-
lations are provided for, but failure to
pay the former or any dispute about
the latter can be settled only by
consul.

BORROWED PLUMES.



Americans are rather inclined to
adopt whatever pleases their fancy in
the way of insignia, colors, etc, with
out recognizing the fact that it is an
unwritten law in Europe that only
| certain persons can use particular com

junction of colOrs that they choose. not
knowing or caring that they put them
selves in the position of interlopers in
the estimation of the initiated Apropos
of this popularity, young American
who has recently returned from Europe
tells a good story on himself. Seeing
a quantity of attractive hat ribbons
hanging up in haberdasher's shop in
London, he purchased half dozen,
and later on, when he dOnned his straw
hat at COwes he replaced his sOmbre
black band with one of the prettest
among his collection. He had hardly
left his hotel, however, when a military
looking man on the other side of the
street crossed over, and after walking
past him once or twice, finally came up
to him with a pleasant nod. II have
been on the retired list for several
years" he remarked. cordially. but

Il beg pardon, stammered the young
American, but there must be some
mistake"
You are not in the -- guards?"
asked the old gentleman, irately.
Then pray, sir, where did you get
that hat?' And looking daggers of un
utterable scorn as our hero explained
his nationality and ignorance, he turned
on his heel and strobe contemptuously
away while the humiliated youth re-
treated to his lodgings and donned the
quiet colors of an insignificant citizen.
A few months later, however, when
looking over his various traps in Swift
erland, he came across the bunch of
nice-lOOl1ing ribbons, which it seemed
pity not to use.
Over here | am certainly safe" he
thought, and he again selected one of
the pretty bands; now as no one took
any notice of his colors, he felt that he

negatively touching the band of his
hat and looking over the young man

A Mammoth Harp.

The largest harp ever built so far as
is known. was that invented and con-
structed by NJ. Neritau, provost Of
Burkl. near Basic. 1t was known as
the gigantic meteorological Eolian
harp. 1t was three hundred and
twenty feet in length and was erected
in the garden of its inventor in 1877.
This harp consisted OF fifteen iron
wires. three hundred and twenty feet
in length, stretched between two poles.
The wires We're from two to three
inches apart, the largest being one
sixth OF an inch in thickness, and the
smallest one-twelfth of an inch They
were placed in the direction of north
and south, and inclined in such a man
ner as to form an angle of from twenty
tothirty degrees with the horizon, being
stretched by means of rollers properly
disposed for the purpose. Whenever
the weather changed the wires sounded
with such loudness that it was impossi-
BILE to go on with a concert in the
house. The sound sometimes repre-
scented the kissing noise of water in
rapid ebullitiou, sometimes that of "a
harmonicOn, and sometimes that of dis
tant chimes or an organ. Brooklyn

AN ENEMY OF THE SALOON.

The Catholic Church Goes on Record as
the Determined Opponent of the Amer
lean Saloon.
1t is to be regretted that the word
saloon or, in French, 'salon, should
have been appropriated by all the dirty,
| dIsreputable dram-shops of the coun-
try. 1t was in its origin a respectable
word. 1t is 50 no longer. And now its
meaning is as well understood as would
be grog- shop-the word applied forty
years ago to the place where intoxi-
| cants were dealt out and drunkards
made.
An article in the North American Re
view, by Archbishop Ireland, is en-
titled The Catholic Church and the
Saloon" Our readers will remember
that Watterson, of Ohio, forbade sa-
loonLecpers to hold any office in the
Catholic church or in its more impor-
tant societies. The liquor men and
their friends appealed to Mgr. Satolli,
the papal nuncio residing in this coun-
try. The latter sustained the ruling
against the saloonAeepers. Afterward
an attempt was made to dull the edge
of this decision by saying that Satolli
only declined to overrule bishop in
his own diocese, and that the action of
the nuncio should not be taken as a
papal condemnation of the saloon.
Arch bishop Ireland. who is staunch
temperance man, takes different
view. lie declares that it is in the line
of the action of the Catholic ecumeni-
D., ::
regarded as the settled policy of the
church in this country. We quote
from the article in the North Ameri-
can:
"Henceforth Catholic public opinion frowns
upon the saloon and the saloon keeper, Saloon
keeping lisa diSrcputablc business. and the Sa-
loon-kccper, however correctly he conducts
mis- particular saloon. still, because of the gen
eral malodor0usneSS of the business in which
| he IS engaged, must not and will not be per-
United to appear in any capacity a repre-
sentative of the church or as a prominent
Catholic; he must and will be kept aloof from
ar places Of honor and distinction in the
church"
OF course the saloon power is great
It's supporters have wealth, and in
some quarters political prestige Arch
bishop Ireland admits that a large ma
jority of the liquor dealers have a
membership in the Catholic church
This he accounts for in the fact
that they are immigrants from
countries where wine and beer
are drank as Americans drink
tea and coffee. He also intimates
that sometimes clergymen fear to of
fcnd the saloon element, which is
contributor to the church funds. But
regardless Of this, the archbishop claims
that the decision of Satolli must stand
as law, and adds:
In unfolding Bishop Watterson's decree
Mgr SatolH necessarily judges with him, that
the saloon in America is a nuisance so baneful
and malodorous that the church, for her own
honor, and in pursuance of her mission % propa-
gate good morals and to save souls, must make
plain her diSapproval of it."
And once again he uses the most EN-
phatic and unmistaka bic language, de-
claring that the church Stands on rec
ord as the determined foe of the Amer
lean saloon. Western Rural

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
A LOOK BACKWARD.
Dram Drinking 1t Existed in New En-
gland Sixty Years Ago.

Dram Drinking as 1t Existed in New En-
gland Sixty Years Ago.
The following extracts, taken from
the autObiographical "reminiscences OF
the late Rev. Horace ID. Walker, recall
forcibly to mind the sad condition OF
affairs existing sixty years ago, and,
contraSted with the gigantic strides
temperance sentiment and legislatio
has taken since then, encourages to a
belief that in the near future the
shGclles Of the rum traffic will be com
pletciy thrown off and leave us a free
people.
In 1929, when l was a boy of ten, at
school in W, Mass, a movement
was inaugurated to improve the com
mon. 1t lay in front of the church,
and it was most rough and unsightlv
in appearance. The farmers came in
from all directions one bright summer
day with carts and implements, and
school was dismissed that the boys
might aid as they could in the good
work.
The center was fairly alive with
busy workers when, at eleven o'clock,
boc''
house, fronting the common, in his
well-known black study gown, carry
ing in one hand a good-sized tin pail,
and in the other small tin dipper.
He moved about the busy throng fol-
lowed by layman with a wooden pail
and larger dipper.
All the workers, even boys as small
and as young as myself, were invited
by the parson to partake of the con-
tents of his pail and welcomed by the
layman to draughta from his bucket.
The parson carried new rum, the
layman bore cold water. | remember
how Il taste from the parsons pail
('tirewater" indeed, since it was
neither weakened nor sweetened)
drove me in a hurry to the other pail
to cool my poor tongue.
But there were many to whom the
parsons rounds were very welcome.
Just at twelve l saw ona of the promi-
nent young lawyers of the place stag
gering into his dooryard near the com
mon. He led by the hand his little
boy. just within the gate the father
fell, utterly helpless in his intoXica-
ton.
But at four o'clock the parson went
again his hospitablc round. John Sui
Ivan, the first Irishman | had ever
seen, and whom | well knew, as his
wife was employed at my boarding
place, was particularly attentive to the
parsons ministrations; so much so that
he was very much affected by them
AS his temper was quicllcned his legs
We're weakened, so that one of the
academy boys, whom he assaiied, had
no difficulty in knocking him down.
The combat occurred in the cemetery,
from which unsightly heaps of gravel
were being taken to fill up hollows in
the common. John gathered himself
up in hot indignation, and went stag

rear of which stood upon posts

A TERRIBLE PICTURE,
Condition OF the HabituaI inebriate Graph
icalIy Described.

really described.
The victim of alcohol is prematurely
old. His decrepitude and shrunken
tissues by the horrible bloating or con
gestion of his flesh, and poison may
color this deception with an imitation
of the tinge of health; but when the
poison is taken away we see the body
shrink to its true proportions. The
withered muscles have the shrunl1en
form of age. The face of the youth
and middle aged will show the time
burrows of the octogenarian. Diges-
ton is feeble, and, until nature has
time to do the work Of rebuilding the
cured inebriate, he will look like the
STOPPING and attentuated victim of
many years. We need no better exam
pl cor proof of causes of the so-called
old age. 1t is not Old age. The CEN
tenarian is young in years. The years
have not beaten him down. The win.
tiers have housed and fed him. The
springs of the year have invited him
to walk among the buds of beauty and
the resurrection of life-the summers
have given him the harvests, and the
autumns have garnered his grains and
his wealth. Why should seasons and
their years make him old? He is not
old, but he is poisoned. Disease has
eaten his roots of life, and his defenses
have taken away their soil to build in
trenchments.
The inebriate is the type of poi
soned organism which has wasted it's
energy in the defense of poison. The
tissues are made insane by debauch,
and, like terrified animals in confla-
grafton, seek to escape danger by rush
ing into the flames. The inebriate in
. debauch will take drink after drink
in obedience to his crave, until coma
and paralysis have bound his brain and
limbs with the appearance Of death
When the debauch is ended his body is
consumed and wasted, the tissues which
are not deadened are hardened with
overwork. and the degradation of de-
formity waits upon his restoration to
activity and life.-Dr. Leslie +. Kelley.
