JAPANESE BRONZE MIRRORS.
A Few Years More and Buddha VIII Have
Absorbed Them All,

/ A Few Years More and Buddha VIII Have
Absorbed Them All.
Mn LSfcadiO Hearn, in his paper,
AT Hakata' in The Atlantic, speaks
of the bronze mirrors of Japan and
the fate OF some of them:
l am in Hakata, the town of the
! girlle weavers, which is q very tall
/ town, with fantastic, narrow ways
| full of amazing colors, and / halt III
the Street of Prayer to the Gods be-
cause there is an enormous head of
bronze-the head of Buddha-smil-
ing at me through the gateway. The
gateway is of a temple of the Jodo
sect, and the head is beautiful.
But there is only the head. What
supports it above the pavement of
the court is hidden by thousands of
metal mirrors heaped up to the chin
of the great dreamy face. A placard
beside the gateway explains the
problem. The mirrors are contribu-
tions by women to 8 colossal seated
figure of Bqddha to be 35 feet high
including the huge lotus on which it
is to be enthroned. And the whole
is to be made of bronze mirrors.
Hundreds have been already used to
cast the head. Myriads will be need
ed to finish the work. Who can ven
ture to assert in the presence of such
an exhibition that Buddhism is pass
ing away?
Yet I cannot feel delighted at this
display, which, although gratifying
the artistic sense with tho promise
of noble statue, shocks it still more
by ocular evidence of the immense
destruction that the project in
wolves, for Japanese metal mirrors,
now being superseded by atrocious
cheap looking glasses of western
manufacture, well deserve to be call
ed things OF beauty. Nobody unfa-
miliar with their gracious shapes can
know the charm of the oriental COM
parlsOn OF the moon TO a mirror.
One side is polished. The other is
adorned with designs in relief-trees
or flowers, birds or animals or in
sects, landscapes, legends, symbols
OF good fortune, figures of gods
Such are even the commonest mir
rors. But there are many kinds, and
some among them are very wonder
full, which we call magic mirrors"
because when therefection of one is
thrown upon a screen or wall you can
see in the disk of light luminous i'm
ages of the designs upon the back.
Whether there be any magic mir
rors in that heap of ex-votos cannot
tell, but there certainly are many
beautiful things. And there is no
little pathos in the spectacle of all
that wonderful quaint work thus
cast away and destined soon to van
lsh utterly. Probably within an
other decade the making of mirrors
OF silver and mirrors of bronze will
have ceased forever. Seekers for
them will then hear, with something
more than regret, the story of the
fate of these.

AIOST LETTER.
ft Was the Cause of Queer Legal Con
 trcversy.


 In an important litigation the pivot upon which the evidence turned was 2 missing letter. A transaction, for which responsibility was disclaimed by one party in action, was based upon authority given in that letter to busi- ness house.
 The senior member of the firm was compelled on scross-examination to ad- init that he had no recollection of the letter His son was the only witness who positively recalled it. When cross examined, he declared that he had shown it to his father and talked with him about it. The court was amused by this conflict between father and son.
 Then the witness added another de- tail which proved fatal to his credibil- ity. He declared that the missing let ter by the blurred ink bore evidence of having been copied by letter-press. Op- posing counsel offered explicit deniafs from the alleged author of the letter that he had written anything of the kind, and produced his letter-press books to show that no copy had been made, and that no pages were missing
 The case went:against the firm. The young man left the court with the un- comfortable feeling that everybody was convinced that he had committed per jury.
 '.I was right" he said to his father, "even if I contradicted your testimony. I saw the letter, and it had been copied by letter-press." F =
 U,e Co chaa1y lrS- hnod 6I1ht41Iclr but agreed to have the books and pa- pers of the firm overhauled and thor. ough search made for the letter. Every pigeon-hole was ransacked. The files of correspondence for thirty years were examined in vain.
 As last resort, all the old ledgers, from the establishment of the business, were looked over page by page. Be- tween the leaves of one of them the missing letter was found. It had been copied by letter-press.
 q remember it now perfectly" said the father to his son. II was preoccu- pied with another matter when you handed the letter to me, and it made no impression upon me. I had sent for the ledger to look over an old account, and I must have used the letter me- chanically as 0 book-marlS, and then have forgotten all about it."
 When the letter was produced it in volved reversal of the previous yer dict. The case was compromised after the author of the letter had admitted that he had written it, but had not copied 1t in his regular letter-press book, and that his subsequent denials had been based upon his knowledge ot the fact that his opponents had mislaid the original.
 The incident illustrates the facility with which an honest and careful wit ness can sometimes be discredited by the pains which he takes to justify his testimony.
 The blurred ink was detail which confirmed the witness faith in his memory, but it was diverted into the means of invalidating it altogether un. til the missing letter was found Youths Companion.

 A person who attempts to do some thing that is not strictly honest may happen to be the one who gets cheated In the effort to be tricky there is a chance that he will overreach himself, and fall victim to his own shallow. ness.
 One day lately, as a man was walk. ing in a retired part of a certain city where there are still wooden sidewalks, he chanced to look down through a crack in ono of the boards, and saw the gleam of a silver coin.
 Seeing another man approaching, he got down on his knees, and began to peer earnestly through the crack. The stranger came up, and, seeing the man in this position, naturally asked:
 Whats up?"
 Of course, it would have been more correct to say: "What's down?" but the man understood, all the same.
 Why, you see" he replied, T was walking along here, and happened to take some loose change out of my PoChCb. h AdfA-uOlldI ollpDCo butOuR II my fingers and rolled down through this crack"

 Well, I haven't anything to pry up the boards with, and can't get it out with my cane. Tell you what I'll do. If you'll go to that house over there, and borrow a hammer, or an ax, or something, I'll sit here and watch the place, and go shares when we get the half-dollar.
 All right!" assented the stranger. 4 And he started off for the ax or the hammer, while the other man sat down on the edge of the sidewalk and smiled softly.
 The stranger soon came back, carry ing an ax, and, under the directions of the first man, who seemed willing to let him do all the work, board was taken up Then the man with the ax reached his arm down through the opening and brought up, not half-dol- lar, but dollar, which he coolly put in his pocket, saying:
 Il believe you said you lost half dollar. Then this can't be yours, can it?"
 Then he nailed the board in it's place, and walked away to return the ax. whistling Comrades" while the other man sauntered thoughtfully down the street, saying to himself:
