PROGRESS IN JAPAN.
A Fascinating Story Of its Political
and Social Reform

A Fascinating Story Of It's Political
and Social Reform
The transformation, political and
social, which Japan mas undergone
within the last thirty years reads al
most like fairy tale. II the pope
Of Rome were to lay aside all the
trappings OF the papal rank and the
insignia OF office, and take his place
as the first citizen Of Italy, eager for
civil and military reform, and for
the restoration OF Italian unity aud
greatness, it would constitute nearly
an exact parallel to the great re-
formation which has been wrought
in Japan within the memory OF even
middle aged Americans. The story
of 1.-THE Land OF the Mikado" is a
fascinating one, wanting in none of
the elements of romance, and it's
salient features are well-sketched in
outline by j. Castell Hopkins in a
paper in The Engineering Magazine.
Mr.. Hopkins presents rough
sketch of Japan under the feudal
system, intensely hostile to foreign
ers, down to the British lombard
ment OF Kagosimea in 1864, and
then continues:
"During this very time, however,
the volcanic action must have been
preparing, which in few years was
to cast of with lightning rapidity
the garments OF medieval institu-
tions, the power of ceremouious
and superstitions priesthood, the in
auence OF an invisible and infallible
head, the authority OF sauguinary
and uncomfortable chiefs, the gov
eminent Of crafty and taithless lead
ers. How it was done is not known
to this day. The great revolution
does not seem to have had its great
leader. No master mind appears as
having directed the masses and con
trolled the classes. Yet in 1868 a
coalition OF turbulent mobiles and
princes united in Offering to consoli-
date the Mikado's power by yielding
up to him their feudal and immem.
orial rights and revenues. A body

lowed the murder Of foreigners aud

lates, issued a manifesto that their
object was TO enable their country
to take its place with the other

AN INTERESTING EPISODE.


at was the most marvellous, inter
esting and peculiar episode in the
political history OF the world. There
has been nothing to compare with ii
anywhere. All the ancient land
marks Of japanese policy, statecraft,
and administration were thrown
down as if by one Of those volcanic
shocks for which the islands were
famous. They were replaced within
half a dozen years by elements Of
western civilization and government
which have elsewhere been the pro-
duct of centuries OF slow and stormy
development. Old and new were
commingled, and forty millions OF
people OF Asiatic stock dropped al
most in a moment from the feudal-
ism OF thousand years into sys-
/ TEN Of modern monarchical govern
ment with a gradual but steady
approximation toward the popular
government OF the present moment.
1t was in the strange realization of
the fact that these latter institutions
could not be had all in year that
we recognize quality in the people,
equal to that hitherto unrecogniZa-
bic one in the four thousand mobiles
OF the country who had short time
before voluntarily thrown of their
nantes OF despotic local power.
at is land OF paradoxes and
anomalies. Thirty years ago every
thing seemed IT, Sir Rutherford AL
cock, the British minister who spent
three years OF danger in the coun-
try, to be in reversed order. The
people wrote from top to bottom,
from right TO left, in perpendicular
instead OF horizontal lines, while
their books began where ours end.
Their locks, though initiated from
Europe, were all made to lock by

The Bashful Student Thought the Venu
of Iedici vaS q Living Bather.

The Bashful Student Thought the Venus
of Medici was a Living Bather.
A funny story of modest man is
told by Aubrey de We're in The Century
Magazine After 30 years seclusion
within the walls of his college certain
venerable fellow of Cambridge univer-
sity thought it was time for him to see
little of the world, and he accepted an
invitation from an early pupil who was
entertaining large party in great
country house. At dinner he sat next
to the young lady of the house. Their
conversation fell upon baths, and she
happened to mention that she took a
shower bath every morning to invigorate
her system, adding, when he inquired
what shower bath was, that it resem-
bled very small round room; that the
bather took his or her stand in the CEN
ter of it, and upon pulling string was
drenched by sudden food Of water from
above.
Next morning the reCluse rose at his
usual hour-6 o'clock-and being Of an
inquisitive temper thought it we'll to
explore carefully what he had never
seen before-a large country house. On
pulling open door he found himself at
the entrance of a very small circular
apartment, one of those in which house
maids store away old brushes and house
hold articles past their work. In the
center of it stood plaster cast of the
Venus of Medici. The venerable man
recoiled, closed the door and walked in
the park till summoned by the breakfast
bell. He took his seat, and the host ask
ed whether he would have tea or coffee.
But he had reflected on what good man.
ners imperatively required, and his an.
swer was:
my lord, I can neither partake o1
tea nor coffee, nor any other rejection

apologies to the interesting young lady

John Wesley's Wife.

John Wesley married widow, Mrs.
Vizelle, who grew tired of his restlessly
laborious life and complained. He paid
no attention, and from complaint she
went on to jealousy, thence to fury. He
rebuked her sternly: "Do not any longer
contend for mastery, for power, money
or praise. Be content to be private,
insignificant person. OF what impor-
tance is your character to mankind? If
you were buried just now Or had never
lived, what loss would it be to the cause
of God?' She left him, taking with her
large number of his private papers,
and he dismissed the subject by writing
in his journal: II did not forsake her.
I did not dismiss her. I shall not call
her back"

1.-THE most peculiar case ever heard
Of, !" said q telegraph operator, occur
red in our family. Ny father was an
engineer ON the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, running into Richmond. One
night while quite distance from the
latter city and nearing his ran he saw .
bright red light ON the track several
hundred yards ahead. The signal was
also seen by his fireman and the front
brakeman. The train was at once stop
ped, but not trace of the signalman or
light could be found, and the track was
all right. Father looked at his watch
and noted that the time was o'clock
The train pulled out, proceeding eau
tiously for some distance without
meeting any obstruction. Several miles
farther the light was again seen.
Once more stopping, another search was
made, with no more success than before.
This happened at 8:28. Father was new
er superstitious, but this was inexplica-
BILE. Much mystified, he proceeded on
the way, only to be stopped third time
by tho red light at 1851 o'clock. Anoth-
er search by the crew failed to disclose
the slightest trace of the mysterious sig
mailman. Finally, giving up the search,
the men returned to their posts, and the
train at last pulled up into Richmond
without further mishap.
"When father alighted from the cab,
telegram was handed him announcing
the death Of his mother. Without delay
he went to her homo, which was sew
eral miles out Of the city, on the rail.
road. Soon after his arrival he learned
that a telegram had been sent to him
while he was out On duty, summoning
him to grandmother bedside. The
time at which father had seen the mys.
terious red lights was indelibly i'm
pressed on his memory, and he learned
upon inquiry that at precisely the min
ute at which the first red light was seer
she had asked if he had come. She then
repeated the question at the time he saw
the second light, and the appearance Of
the third light was simultaneous with
her death. "-Richmond Times.
