JAPANESE ARISToCRACY.
Surrendered Their Powers tn Strengthen
a Central Gnvernlnenf.

Surrendered Their Powers to Strengthen
Central Government.
Undoubtedly the most powerful and
at the same time exclusive aristocracy
was that of the Daimos, or territorial
lords, of Japan prior to the great so
cial revolution of 1868. There were
fewer than 800 of these great lords.
Their power within their own provinces
was almost absolute, and they owed
merely nominal allegiance to the
sovereign. Yet in 1869 241 out of less
than 300 Daimos voluntarily surren-
dered their powers and their posses
sions into the hands of the emperor, in
order that a centralized government
might conduct the affairs of the empire
in manner more in accordance with
those western ideas which the nation
was then making up it's mind to adopt,
and from this surrender the phenome-
nal progress of Japan as a world power
undoubtedly dates. A somewhat SINH
lar case may be found in the history of
Russia, when, in the year 1864, the
boyars, believing that the tsar, Ivan
w., afterward known as the Terrible,
was about to leave them to their own
intrigues and domestic strifes, laid all
the privileges of their order at his feet
to induce him to return. 1t was from
this act Of self-abnegation that the ira
ditional autocracy of the Russian en-
pire practically begins.

and blossom. Then they are carried
down to the schoolroom, where they
have bread and milk to refresh them
after their labors The schoolroopl
abounds in plants and vines, and pic
lures of flowers, and there is a cage
with doves in II, the old ones having
been obliging enough to build their nest
and to rear then young, with the lit
tie people looking on in wonder and ad-
miration.
Nature always has large place in
the kindergarten, but just now more
time is being given to songs and stories
about woods and fields and gardens,
shrubs and plants, and leaves and bios
SONS and birds and butterflies.
I'VE have started the roof garden, >"
said one of the teachers, 'to show them
what the things really are that we talk
about. 1t was hard for them to under
stand what a bush was until they saw
one growing.
''The influence, too, spreads far be-
yond the schoolroom In many homes
the example of these little gardens has
inspired the older members Of the fam
lily to start window gardens, which WI
be objects of beauty all summer"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1899-06-29

garten received one of these embryo
gardens with the privilege of planting
in it whatever kind of seed he pre-
ferred, the seeds being supplied by the
teachers. Some of the egg gardens
were carried home, others were kept at
the school, and it must have been an
obstinate and ill-bred seed that would
fail to respond to the devoted nurture
and coaxing care of the little gardeners.
1t was thrilling moment when the
discovery of a tiny bit of green indi-
Gated the response Of the most preco-
cious seed
1T had found its wings the chill
dren declared when it showed two
small leaves.
As soon as the weather became warm
enough, gardening was undertaken on a
somewhat larger scale on the roof of
the building. Long boxes were filled
with earth, and to each child was given
a garden fork, rake and a watering
can, all on the smallest plan, so as to
be handled conveniently by the small
est pupil in the lot
With great seriousness and energy
the small gardeners set about pulyer
izing the earth and getting it in proper
condition for planting. Then the indi
vidual sections were marked off with
pieces of cord and were allotted sever
ally Each child was permitted to

week or so of intense and unfulflled

of the principal figure, NJ. Ho-
MOLE tells us. there were further dis
inferred fragments belonging to the
accessories of the group; a right hand
still holding the reins, the pole of the
chariot, two legs and hoof of one of
the horses, an arm of female figure
(probably Victory such as we see on
coins holding palm branch, a wreath
or tillet), and, finally, one of the slabs
which formed the plinth, with the re-
mains of an inscription in Syracusan
letters and the name of Polyzelos, the
dedicator Of the gift.
For time the hope was entertained
that the entire composition might be
recovered, but the discoveries stopped
short and nothing further was found.
Little enough, we may feel inclined TO

lost; too little to enable us to imagine
with any degree of gertrude the lines
of the complete work. The best critics

the meantime the strange water weed
called ''sudd' has increased at its will,
undisturbed by passing boats. Some

Sometimes the weed is rooted in the
bed of the river; sometimes it floats
in patches upon the surface. The only
way to get through it is to cut a pas
sage from below with billhooks and
push the patches down stream. The
sudd is no new thing. When Nero
sent ENJOYS up the Nile they were
plagued by it. Gessi Pasha with 500
soldiers was caught in it in 1880 and it
took him three months to get out by
the aid of an Egyptian party that cut
away the weeds from below.
