A JAPANESE ROMANCE.

An Interesting Story Of Count Ito, Told
by Sir Edwin Arnold.
OF Count Ito, the distinguished jap
anese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold
gives US this interesting incident: II
sat at table with the ex-premier and
his wife and children. The countess,
quiet, gentle. motherly, and wearing
spectacles, carving the tai and the
kamo with such matronly serenity
had yet history of romance and de-
votion which could make the widest
f1ctionist's fortune. Long ago. in those
dark and bloody days, when the minis
ter was her lover and fugitive from
his enemies, there came time when
they had tracked him to her house,
and had chosen q band of Soshis to as
sassinate him. The noise of their clogs
and the rattling of their scabbards
were heard, and the count, trapped
like stag in his mountain pleasance,
drew his Bizen blade and prepared to
die, as Japanese lord should, amid a
circle of dead foes. But while he MUIR
INJURED 'Sagonare!' and KNITTED his
fingers around the sharkskin hi1t of his
sword. that brave lady. whose guest I
was, whispered: DO not die; there is
hope STILL upon which she removed the
hibachi, or fire box. over which they
were sitting. and, lifting up the mat
ting and planks beneath, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor Of
all japanese homes. The murderers
broke into the room, a ferocious band,
just as the fire box had been replaced
and the countess had assumed posi-
ton of nonchalance. They demanded
their victim, and when she protested
against their intrusion and bade them
search II they wanted Ito, the wretches
dragged her around the apartment by
her long, beautiful black hair-now
touched with silver-and grievously
maltreated her, but could not shake
her resolute fidelity. Thanks to this,
Count Ito, the hero Of many another
strange adventure, escaped from the
chief peril Of his career, and has lived
to give his country new constitution
and to be one Of the foremost and best
respe cted statesmen Of modern Japan"

irish Race Types.

Three types. at least, are observable
In the south of Ireland-first, the dark,
Italian-lookinR Celt, also found in
Devon; secondly, the tall, yellow
haired Danish type; and thirdly. the
aboriginal Aryan of the volga, with
red or auburn hair and blue or green
eyes, who may also be found in Corn
wall. The dark, aquiline type of
Wales differs considerably from that of
the Irish, and the Irish language
is nearer akin to Cornish than to
Welsh. The traditional Irishman OF
caricatures is not often seen in the
south, though this type is not unknown
even among the upper classes. The
soft features and bright eyes of the
modest peasant women present many
varieties of beauty, and the mingled
race of Cork and Kerry-fairer as .
rule than that of the far VESTS as
vigorous as any in Scotland or ip York.
