of Garfield Park. At the present time
the railroad company has no title to. the
land it now occupies that is a part of the
quarter section on which Garfield Park
is located and IN attempt will be made
to make the company pay for 1t. The COM

a clear title for it. The strip it wants to
buy is twelve feet wide from the south end
of the park to a point about half way to
Pleasant run. where it begins to widen and
is thirty feet in width at the creek. There
it begins to narrow again and is only
twenty-five feet wide at the north end.
The area is about 81 of an acre. John

THE RELIGION OF JAPAN:


Christian Missionary Among tho
Japnncse-Ins Unusual ideas.
An American missionary to Japan,
who has spent many years in trying to
Christianize the Japanese, is the Rev
l.. II. De Forest, who recently spoke in
Brooklyn on the subject. His opinions
are of peculiar interest as coming frem
a missionary. and a few of them are
contained in the ensuing sentences: az
is time to quit calling the Japanese
heather. We should cease to sing about
them as the heather who how down to
worship images of wood and stone This
thing of describing everybody except
ing ourselves as ldolaters, in the inter-
est of Christianity ought to stop. We
must change our ways of thinking and
talking about the Japanese. While
am convinced that Christianity is the
true faith, believe that there is some
truth and revelation in the Japanese
religion. The church. while carrying
on missionary work in JGpan, must be
as polite towards the Japanese religion
as is our government toward the gov
eminent of Japan. Our missionary
maps are often made in black and white
patches, to show how white we are
and how black are all the peopl. we
call heathen. We whitewash ourselves,
and make our own country white, just
as though vice and crime were not ram
pant here. Our forefathors divided the
religions of the world into two classes,
calling our religion the true one, and
the others false; but it is now recog-
nized that there is some revealed truth
in all religions. The japanese have
glimpses Of the Supreme Being. and we
can lead them onward to better view"
The foregoing sentences. which were
uttered by the Rev. De Forest in Brook
lyn are detached from their elaborate
context, but are in perfect conformity
with it. They give evidence that at
least one missionary of the Congrega-
tional church has enlarged his religious
ideas during the twenty years of his
residence among the japanese.

The uses of rigid etiquette were well
understood by Bonaparte. He appre-
ciated the da22li-g power of economy,
the fascination of condescension, and
the mastery OF women in the conduct
of affairs. All such influences he Law
ished with profuslon which could
have been conceived only by an Orien-
tai Imagination. AS if to overpower the
senses by an impressive contrast, and
symbolic the triumph of that doml-
nant third estate of which he claimed
to be the champion against aristocrats,
princes, kings, emperors, the simplic-
ity of the revolution was personifed
and emphasized by his own form. His

A Boston story is told OF Jones,
whose idiosyncracies are a tremen-
dous desire for good service ut dinner
and an equally tremendous aversion
to clipping" Now, one Saturday
recently, MIR. Jones left Boston on ~

accustomed to New York, and he
does not know the New York restau-
rants; therefore it is not surprising
that dinner time found him seated in
one of the worst of the many bad

better dwellings were limitations of
styles prevailing in the various Father
lands OF the colonists. Penn planned
rows of small English cottages for the
Philadelphia settlers, but the thrifty
Germans of the interior of Pennsyl-
vania were long content with houses Of
hewed logs and barns of vast capacity.
The Swedes of New Jersey built houses
with palsade sidings of split timber set
upright. The Dutch of New York and
the Hudson River region closely imi-
tated the dwellings of their ancestors.
But the finest Colonial houses, such as
We're built by the governors and di-
vines of New England the landed gen
try of New York and the great proprie-
tors of the South were copied from
English country houses or halls. An
example of this style, modified to meet
the requirements of modern life, illus
trates this article.
This style is essentially a costly one.
The structure must be of ample size
