Origin Of the Jananese.

The origin Of the Japanese has been
debated more often since they have
given to the world an exhibition of
such great military skill as was shown
IN the war with China than ever be-
fore. The question came up in con-
versation with celebrated Japanese
General not long ago, and he is re-
ported to have said that his people
were originally Malays. His assertion
appeared to have been made with so
much positive2ess as to warrant be-
lief that the investigations of Japsn's
learned men hail discovered good
ground for attributing the National
origin to this source.
Mr.. K. Miyagawa, the Japanese Con-
sui at this port, says, however, that
the problem of origin has not get been
definitely settled. 1t is q question
which has aroused great interest among
the educated classes of japan, and for
the past twenty years japanese, as
we'll as foreign Investigators, have
been striving to throw light upon this
obscure subject. There IRE, however,
very great difficulties il the way of
the investigators.
The history of Japan, Mr.. Miyagawa
says, goes back 2555 years, but it was
not until about 400 years ago that
tie Japanese had written language.
The stories OF the previous centuries
came down from age to age In the
form of legends, which were repeated
by one person to another until they
at last became part of the Nationa5
literature which began with the intro.
duction of Chinese characters. These
stories, however, show, it is believed,
that. even at the extremely early day
to which they relate, the Japanese pos
sessed the islands which they now in
habit, and had most, if not all, of the
distinguishing characteristics which
low mark them.
According to Mr.. Miyagswa, the
general opinion among japanese
scholars is that the first inhabitants of
the islands were the Amos, that hairy
race, a few individuals of which still
exist in the northernmoyt part of the
empire. The japanese, it Is believed,
came from the south, but whether
from the Malay peninsula, from the
Philippine Islands or from Southern
China, has not yet been definitely de-
termined--New York Sun.

The intensity of genuine tropical

In the open air, it rained SO heavily
that some of them declared they could
not empty their calsbashes, for they

'FWhat must he think of me?" she
asked, when Mary tried to comfort
her. And Frank said that ne thought
it "served her right"

three months subsequently between
Mr.. Ashley himself and Miss West

A story is told in the India Rubber

A story is told in the India Rubber
World of q meek-looking stranger,
with distinctly ministerial air, who
applied for permission to look over a
large rubber factory. He knew moth
ing at all about the rubber business,
he said, ard, after little hesitation,
he was admitted. The Superintendent
showed him about in person, and the
mans questions and comments seemed
to come from the densest ignorance.
Finally, when the grinding-room was
reached, he fingered a little, and
asked, in hesitating way: Couldn't
i have q specimen of that curious stuff
for my cabinet?" Certainly" re-
piled the Superintendent. although it
was a compound the secret of which
was worth thousands of dollars; seer
tainly, cut off as much as you wish.
With eager step the visitor approached
the roll of gum, took out his knife,
wet the blade in his mouth, and
stop right where you are!" said the
Superintendent, laying q heavy hand
upon the stranger you are q fraud and
thief. Yon didn't learn in a pulpit
that a dry knife won't cut rubber.
So saying, he showed the impostor t.
the door, and the secret was still safe

A comparison of French operations
in Madagascar and Japanese opera
tions in Formosa, shows that the latter
are not behind, but in advance of,
Western Nations in the art of war.
The Japanese, it is pointed out in the
New York Sun, had far and away the
harder task of the two. Even in the
matter OF climate Formosa is worse
than Madagascar. The Black Flags
and other irregular Chinese levies
were more formidable opponents than
the Hovas. The French employed 49,.
900 men for q task which could have
been carried out, according to their
own officers, by 5000, backed by 1900
or 1000 SoudaDese. They have lost
5000 by fever, aided by mismanage.
