JAPs NOT SAVING.

Country People Given to 3 Luxurious
Mode Of Living.
The governor of the Bank of Japan.
said that during his trip of forty days
through the country he had heard
many complaints of depression Of
trade, but what struck him strangely
was the fact that the greater portion
Of the masses did not appear to be suf-
fering. On the contrary, he had found
the country people given to luxuri-
,ous mode of7living, a circumstance
which impressed him with the justice
Of Count Inouye's appeal for thrift and
diligence. At Balkan and Wakamatsu
he saw in the shops japanese clogs
selling for seven ven ($3.50) q pair.
and soaps five yen ($250)a cake. In
Kumamoto the people at large did not
appear to know the nature or even the
very existence of savings banks. Mr.
Yamamoto told an interesting story to
illustrate this point. /, Last year a GER
tain banker had informed the speaker
Of a farmer who came, to3a bank In
Kumamoto to deposit q sum of 10000
yen. q The transaction resulted in the
mutual establishment of the depositor.
and the bank. When the bank had in
formed him that it would pay an in
terest offs per cent. the farmer looked
astonisehed, for it had been his prac-
tice hitherto to keep the money in a
strong warehouse guarded by two
watchmen during the night. He had
evidently been prepared to pay charg-
es to the bank for the trouble. yas he;
thought, of keeping his money for;
him. By this incident, coupled with
the fact that sum OF about 100000
yen in gold specie had. mysteriously
disappeared from our economic world
during the last two or three years, he
was led to the conjecture that the
missing money must be secretly stored
in the houses of provincial people.
