The Literature Of Japan.

There seem to be three ideas which
Ipervade all general works on Japan
apology for the past wonder at the
present. and a glorious prediction for
the future. To the Western world ia
.ent is reflected in the newspapers and
periodicals of the day, her future may
in part be read between the lines of the
present.
Volumes. have been written about Ja-
pan, yet so far no comprehensive his
tory of the people, their literature and
arts, has appeared in the English Ian
guage Japan is most Interesting and
valuable field for some Grote or Mot
ley of the day.
The difficulty of translation from
Japanese is great In the first place.
the language is an lagglutinative one,
and consequently hard for Westerner
to acquire The poetry is one of form
and does not possess. except in the
drama, remarkably deep thought OF
feeling. There are, besides, many
plays upon words which cannot be
transferred into a foreign tongue The
best prose tales and chronicles. which
belong to the oldest or classical litera-
ture. are written in a dialect differing
as widely from the japanese now
spoken as the language of Homer diff
fers from the Romaic of to-day.
It is not making too bold an asser-
ton therefore, to say that the available
translations fall far short of the merits
Of the originals; so much so that the
Western reader is apt to underestimate
the true value of this oslyn

low-faced man, who stood on the out
the speaker.
At this moment two men, who had
been hurrying forward with a business
like air from the direction of the bridge
connecting the two platforms, arrived
on the scene. They scrutinized the
faces of the bystanders. and as soon as
their eyes fell, on the sallow-faced man
they poINced on him and held him fast.
Thinking evidently, that an eXplana-
ton of their behavior was due to some
body. one of the men approached the tall
porter.
That person" he said, in a low
voice, lis an escaped lunatic. and we
are keepers from the asylum. He got
away two days ago and was traced to
H We received a wire saying
he was believed to have taken this
train, and we have just come down
from G. with the. nine-ffty in time
to nab him" .s.2
"A lunatic is he?'' said the porter.
He's been accusing party here of
committing a murder" -..>~ 81.
Very likely. That's just where he's
off his dOte. He takes it into his head
now and again that he has killed some
body, and then puts it on somebody
else But, in reality, he's as harmless
as a baby"
1 did not wait to hear the rest of
the conversation Bethinking myself
that when the general excitement
Gained down I should be asked to pro-
duce a ticket, l took advantage of the
existing confusion to slip unObserved

I proceeded to my home on foot. two

zOLA'S TRIAL.

Paris, Fen THE trial of Emile lola

which the government. with the approval
apparently Of the French people, desire
1t to he. The first days proceedings
brought out the fact that the official wit
nesses whose testimony is necessary to
prove Iola's grave charges have been for
bidder to testify by n decree of the minis
terial council. Other essential witnesses,
who are unable to take refuge behind this
outrageous decis on, resorted TO n pul pa-

device was SO puerle that the proceed.

physician might have an opportunity to

Will decide tomorrow whether it will

1t is perfectly clear tina: Ioln will have
no genuine opportunity to defend himself
by proving the truth of his allegations.

and they appeal to the public passion and

STARVING CUBANS,
The Situation One That Appeals to
Humanity.

Washington, Feb. THE administers
ton is greatly disturbed by the latest in.
formation from Consul General Lee in re-
gard to the condition of the starving Gu
bans in Cuba. 1t is feared that unless
complete relief is furnished promptly Sc
rious international results will follow.
dispatch from General Lee an
nounces tina, the Spanish authorities have
thrown open all the potts of Cuba for the
admission of relief contributions free of
duty and this is regarded as significant.
State department officials say this action
was forced by conditions which are con-
stantly growing more serious.
Reports rec ived by American consuls
from Spanish officials in single district
outside of Havana show that over fifty
thousand prsons are starving in that dis.
trict alone. The Spanish officials have
asked particularly that this information
be sent to the Unitel States Governmnt
and that Spanish authorities are unable
to do anything to relieve the distress. In
one Cuban CITY within the last week AL
calde has called formally upon the Amer
lean consul and showed him list of
5000 people who arc starving within the
corporate limits.

A DIVISION CALLED FOR.

Delaware, O.. Feb. 7.-Miss Nancy
Fix, an aged maiden lady. was found
bound and gagged and tied to u bedposi in
her home, where she lived alone. She
was 20 years of age, but very wealthy.
She says she was sitting alone in the
kitchen when two men and two boys, all
masked, burst in the kitchen door, seized
and carried her upstairs where she was
tied to the bedpost with rope the men
carried. They covered he- head with a
blanket and tortured her. finally con-
peiling her to reveal the hiding place of
her fortune. The money was in an old
jar in gold, silver and paper, amounting
10 over $4,000. They secured this, and
because she would not tell where there
was more they set fire to her clothing,
thinking she would be creriated. She
was found nearly dead from exhaustion
and terror.
