YOUNG GENTLEMEN OF JAPAN.
Their Attempt to Cure their Teacher of
the kissing Ha bit.
New York Herald. \

Concerning kissing in Japan, Mr.. Zoji
Takado, Japanese gentleman from
Shikokn, told an amusing tale the sother
day. He said: SIN my country we have
not the kiss. 1t is custom unknown.
The husband never kisses the wife. The
mother n3ver kisses the child. To the
Japanese mind the custom appears dis
gushing. Think, then, of what we en-.
dure in the tale will relate to you.
&C was youth at the time and one
of a class of forty young men who learned
English and other things of a Christian
missionary woman from America. Every
day when the Lady met US at the school
her first act was to kiss us all.''
The expression of repulsion upon the
face of the narrator at this moment was
almost tragic. He continued: "We all
dreaded that kiss beyond any pleasure of
study, but we were powerless. The lady
told us it was the English custom to ex-
press kind feelings and affection, and she
loved us all. AT last it drew near the
ed together about gift which might
help us and crafty our teacher. We de-
cided to buy for her doll. We did SO.
It was Japanese doll, very TALL" and
Mr.. Takado held his han breast high to
show its stature.
"That doll cost many dollars of your
money, for its raiment was very rich, of
silk and embroidery. My comrades ap.
pointed me to write the address of presen.
tation. 1 expressed in 1t all our affection
and good wishes, and said ssthat to show
always how much We appreciated th e
kindness Of our teacher we desired to
offer her beautiful doll, which we
hoped she would be pleased to kiss in
stead of us.
"Then we awaited the next meeting OF
the class in suspense. When it was tn G
day and ths time our teacher came. She
did not kiss us. She sat down with tears
in her-eyes. When she spoke she thanked
us for the gift from the bottom of her
heart. and said: 81 love you so much
more for it, my dear pupils, that I will
not kiss you onoe-you must each kiss
me twice. And we had to do so-eighty
kisses!'

THE OLD BELL.
Having Got Home, 1t Should Stay Home
in Independence Hall.
philadelphia Inquirer.)

philadelphia lnquIrer.)
The bell is venerated relic of the in
dependence of the thirteen original
States and with that independence came
the future glory of the entire nation as
we now know it. Old Independence Hall
witnessed the birth of the new nation
and the old bell rang out it's peals over
the heads of those who brought the
Union into existence. The only place
where the bell can be surrounded by the
recollections Of the past is in the vsner-
able hail. which should be cleared of eve
rything not in keeping with it's glorious
history. Here the Bell belongs. Here
it should remain forever.
Since its perambulations in revolu-
tionary times it has left the building but
three times. 1t went to New Orleans
some years ago as the chief attraction of
the cotton exhibition. 1t was taken to
Chicago and remained there until the
close of the Worlds Fair. 1t was sent
to Atlanta. Now it is back. Its wan
behring's should cease. There was more
or less justification, perhaps, or loaning
it to the Chicago show. but there was alb
solutely none for sending it either to
Louisiana or Georgia. There was moth
ing back of these trips but miserable
junket. There was wine galore on the
way to New Orleans. There was a rack
ct of the most approved kind upon the
junket to Atlanta. 1t may suit the no.
lions of some cOunoilmen to go upon a
prolonged trip at the expense of the
people, but Philadolphians would much
prefer that the Bell should not be made
the object and the excuse for junkets in
the future.
The argument that is always made
when Bell junket is in prospect is that
Old Liberty belongs to the people and
that they should be given the opportu-
nifty to look upon 1t. But there is anoth.
er side to that question. The Bell follows
along single line of railroad, and few
people comparatively gaze upon it.
Meanwhile the visitors to Philadelphia
are deprived Of the sight Of the Bell in
its accustomed place. But the great OBJ
lection to these junkets is not that ooun-
nilmen want racket at public expense,
but that there is always danger of acci-
dent. A collision might lose the Bell to
the nation. The precious relic cannot
be guarded too carefully. Philadelphia
is it's custodian, and she must be true to
her trust. Should the Bell be smashed
up in one of these raokets the nation
would never forgive us.
