(The Pessimistic).

Oh, hang Japan! Oh, dang Japan!
A land of gnats and fieas,
Where noisome odors fill the air,
And float on every breeze.
Where men run naked in the streets,
Wear spectacles for clothes,
And old and young, and rich and poor,
Eschew the use of hose.
Oh land devoid of knives and forks,
Of tables, chairs and beds!
Where women black their teeth, and
shave
Their little babies heads.
I've had enough: 1 have no use
CA quiet New York mani
For all this nude simplicity
Careering round Japan.
I've had enough of cloisonnee;
OF ivory carvings, too:
Of ancient, rare Satsuma jugs,
(Which probably are new.
l hate the sight of Buddha fat;
He's too internal calm!
And temples, shrines, red lacquer ware,
And daimios, l damn!
Boy, bring my clothes up from the
wash,
AS quickly as you can.
Sir Edwin Arnold writes a lot
OF bosh about Japan.
I'm shivering cold; I'm wringing wet;
I've been an idle dreamer:
To Yokohama let me get
And there aboard a steamer!

At Sea, November 10.

Again we are doomed to disappoint-
ed. We had hoped to make the run
from Yokohama to Honolulu, 1898
miles, in 10 days, but though the pro-
peller has made the requisite number
of revolutions, strong currents and
head winds have prevented us from
making daily average of $40 miles.
We shall arrive too late in the evening
to safely attempt the entrance of the
harbor 1t is great pity that the
Government cannot find money enough
to erect and maintain a light house on
Diamond Head, or some better system
of lighting the channel up to the wharf
than the imperfect and confusing array
of dim nocturnal luminaries in use at
the present time.
But it is home to us, and whatever at
fractions other places may have, Homo
lulu is good enough for us. We have
found no place like it for agreeableness
of climate, healthfulness of location or
attractiveness of surroundings. One of
the great pleasures of stravel is the
pleasure of the return to the home,
its joys and privileges, its occupations
and duties; and we impatiently await
the hour that will find us under its
shelter, and mingling with the cd
friends again. H.

TWO VIEWS OF JAPAN.
(The optimistic).

Oh fair Japan! Oh rare Japan
Thou land of ancient trees,
Where lotus blossoms fringe the path,
And perfume every breeze:
Where lilies bend their fragrant heads
To kiss thy FLASHING streams,
And dark skinned nesans, almond eyed,
Wake long forgotten dreams.
Thy hills, crown capped with sacred
groves,
Enclose thy gilded shrines:
In grottos where the iris blooms
Droop sweet wistaria vines.
Mysterious languor seems TO hang
Ger mountain plain, and rill:
An unreality of life
Doth all the senses fill.
Thine ancient shrines to Buddha blest,
With Shinto's gilded spires,
Proclaim a soul sustaining rest,
And ecstasy inspires.
Oh sweet it is to dwell in thee,
Land of the Rising Sun,
Where beauty, age, and mystery,
Combine themselves in one.

to be a ChrySanthemum show at Count
Okumura's. We had not seen 1.-THE of
the attractions of the Imperial city,
but we were obliged to decline all these
kind invitations, though if there is a
pleasanter home and a more genial
family life than the MacNau household
in all Japan, we were not privileged
to find it. Yokohama has its own at
fractions Its stores are larger, better
fitted for the display Of goods, the vari-
ETY. of wares is greater, and their excel
lence of a higher grade, than in any
other place in Japan. One of the plea
sures of a visit to Japan is the pleasure
of buying rare or useful articles at a
very moderate price, and any one who
knows how dear to a woman's heart is
the wonderful bargain that she can
make may anticipate the greatest de-
light in a trip to Japan.
1t is a wonderful country to visit
There is so much that is new and
strange; the facilities for travel make
it so easy to get about; the scenery is
so attractive, the people so affable,
customs are so peculiar, expenses are
so moderate, that trip to Japan ought
to become more and more within the
plans of those who have the time and
money to seek recreation, or respite
from care, in the pleasures of travel.
And yet the tourist would not be
tempted a make a second visit, for it
would be to repeat the same expert
ences with little that would be new or
different. The principal places of in
terest in Japan can all be visited in
three weeks time, though so brief an
itinerary as that requires more
strength and endurance than ordinary
tourists can afford A two months trip
gives ample time to see, and sufficient
leisure to study and appreciate the
novel sights and strange experiences.
In these letters l have tried to hold
the balance fairy between the indis-
eliminate praise which has been so
fulsomely lavished on the country and
the people of Japan and the pessimis-
tic view which sees nothing good or
pleasing in nation and a land so full
of interest to the tourist whose eyes
are not blinded by prejudice! 1 append
some versic,es l have picked up, that
fttingly express these two differing
views.

USED THE PRUNING KNIFE
MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL BOARD
CUTS EXPENSES
Action Taken to Prevent n Recur-
renee of the Present Shameful
Condition of AHairs-A Few of
the Fads Dropped and Free Sup
Made in Salaries of Teachers.

A long drawn out meeting Of the
Minneapolis board of education was
held in their rooms at the court house
last evening.
The results Of that meeting, although
TO be told in comparatively few lines.
will be momentous in the history Of the
took hours to reach conclusion on the
part of the members of the board.
instruction in sewing and cook
ing will be thing of the past in this
city after the close of the present year,
the work in music will be reduced, the
board will no longer furnish to the pub
lie drawing books. writing books, and
books of supplementary reading. And
the pruning knife was inserted in
numerous unexpected places.
The salaries Of teachers now employ
ed in the schools are not to be reduced.
1t has been decided, however. that
the teachers are not to receive the US
ual advance in wages that has been
given during several years past, but
that the amount to be paid during 1898
and 1899 will be the same as during the
present year in all departments.
Not a word was said at the meeting
about keeping the schools open after
May 70, which question may probably
be taken as settled.
The result of last nights meeting
of the board in exact figures is a
saving Of $4,000 out of $4,000, which
is the sum 1t would have taken to run
the schools to the usual closing time
the present year.
