HABITS or THE MII<ADo.
His Life ON the whole Is Happy ana
Peaceful.


From the Japanese American Voice.
His majestys daily customs are reeu-
ular. He always goes to his study AT q
a. m. and remains at his work there IN
I'll 4 p. m. He reads and signs all mar
liamentary laws and decreees.
When a cabinet minister addresses his
majesty about any public matter he In.
quires about the subject, the purpose ana
condition, and decides It, He is firm and
not changeable. When he decides a mat
ter once he cannot after that be moved.
AT the beginning of Matsukatas cabi-
met parliament decided to reduce the SAL
aries of the cabinet ministers and other
government officers. The prime minister
Count Matsukata, addressed his majesty
about it, His majesty did not consent
and he said: MANY officers cannot live
upon fixed salary. Some cabinet minis
ters have been obliged to borrow money
and have advanced money from nv
treasury to support them IL the presen.
cabinet ministers retain their places bv
borrowing money all cabinet ministers
therefore, cannot do so. There | cannot
consent to the reduction OF salaries.
Count Matsukata retired from his ma
lesty. However. the cabinet once more
debated the question with the court. ana
Matsukata went against to consult with
the emperor.
His majesty was not inclined to see him
again, and sent an attendant to say 60
him: Il have already commanded about
the reduction of salaries. l cannot see
you any more" The salaries were there
fore not reduced.
His majesty understands the condition
OF the lower classes, and familiarizes
himself with the private conduct OF the
cabinet ministers. When he
reads newspaper articles relating to the
private misconduct of any cabinet minis
ters and attacking him. his majesty some
times smiles.
His majesty is fond OF reading books
and newspapers. He is especially fond OF
German books. He likes to compose jap
anese poems, which he can do readily. His
ability In that respect Is much admired by
his attendants.
His majesty dislikes all pretence and ny
pocrisy.
When 1t has been reported TO his ma
jesty that some of his subjects have given
their lives In time Of flood or earthouaka
to preserve his maJestys picture, he has
been much touched. but he is anxious to
discourage his subjects from such Quixoi-
ism and TO preserve them from any but
necessary danger.
Withal the emperor's life Is a happy ana
peaceful one, blessed by the love and re-
spect of grateful subjects, and when his
majesty makes a tour anywhere In ia
pan without his guards he is in no dan
ger, but Is received everywhere with rev.
erence and Joy.
