accepting western food and more than
half liking it. He even learns to take
part in table conversation, although
that is not SO easy, because formerly
Japs We're taught as matter of ETH
quette that they must eat in silence and
as rapidly as possible, so as not to
waste time.
The new Jap endures the white mans
eating as long as he can, till the strain
is no longer to be borne; then he lapses
temporarily, and he and his fellows
have a home feast all to themselves
national dishes of raw fish, rice. sweet
pickles, cakes, sake, etc. There they
sit upon their heels and eat with chop
sticks and really enjoy themselves. All
day. too, they endure the white mans
heavy, close fitting garments and shoes.
When the evening is come and they can
get away to themselves, off goes the

persons should trouble their heads with
theology at ALL Ii Japan a man has
commonly no religion till he gets old.
He needs none till then, they say. When
the period of age arrives, he takes to
Buddhism, Shintoism or Christianity,
according to taste.
The caste system prevails from of old,
yet young Japan will not be impeded by
1T. The emperor may release from the
letters of low caste any man who has
distinguished himself and shown him
self specially gifted and promote him to
a higher one, where he is treated with
appropriate honor. There are three
castes-lords, knights and common peo-
pie. The illustrious Marshal Ito, made
a marquis after the Carbohydrates
war, was born TO the caste of the COM
mon people, among whom are the fish
ermen, farm servants and others who
perform manual labor. Scholars, pro-
fessional men and officers come largely
from the knights caste. The daily and

Physically they are the finest people.
of the orient, strong and tough, Injured
to heat, cold and storm. The manner
in which the Japs can go about almost
naked in snow and frost temperature
would do credit to a Patagonian. They
have deep, full chests and are almost
the only oriental people possessing
strong, white teeth, that infallible sign
of good constitution in race or indi-
vidual. A people with bad teeth are a
race degenerating physically. The nat
ural strength and agility of the little
brown men are maintained and increas-
ed among soldiers and seamen by ath-
letic drills calculated TO timber them up
and bring out all there is in them. So
far as physical culture is concerned the
Japs have nothing to learn from the
army or navy of any white nation.
There is, moreover, among them an in
difference to pain and danger that Of

A Japanese medical man says the vo-

At the same time they tremendously
aspire to learn English. In doing SO
they find the greatest difficulty in dis

In music they often fail to catch the

States and hire out as house servants in
some family where good English is
spoken, that they may become familiar
with the white mans ways and Ian
guage. Not many educated young
white men would do so much as that for
the sake Of learning something new.
The Japanese have, in their native
tongue. a saying that a man who has
never Travelled away from home is
frog in a well,' having seen no sky
except that above him in the spot where
he was born. They are repudiating the
frog in the well idea with a will. The
Japanese foot treads the soil Of all
lands, the quick Japanese intellect abb
serbs all mankind's wisdom. Young
Japan dates it's awakening from the
visit of the American Commodore Perry
in 1854, visit forced upon the island
people. They were compelled then to
open a port or two to outside commerce.
They have travelled far since then.
July, 1899. saw the last restrictions on
foreign travellers removed, and one may
now journey through the empire as
freely and safely as in ia white mans
country. Foreign nations, too, are now
willing to trust their subjects to the
justice of Japanese courts and laws.
Yet only 30 years ago a white man Wis
iting in Japanese country mansion
had an experience that can scarcely be
credited. Everything was done in the
way of lavish and courteous hospitality
to show the white man he was welcome
to the home of his Japanese friend. One
day the visitor missed some article from
his room. He concluded the native
servant appointed to wait on him had
stolen the thing and SO informed his
host. What was his horror within five
minutes to see the dishonest servant
seized, dragged to the back of the house
and his head actually struck off then
and there. Japan has indeed Travelled
| far, even i'm 20 years.

BATTLES ON SUNDAY.

The student Of history cannot fail Il
note that in the past the nations, when
warning with each other, took little acc
count of Sunday. Many of the great
battles in history were fought on the
sacred day of rest. The most important
Sunday battle on land was Waterloo,
which caused the final overthrow of the
great Napoleon; while at sea Lord
Howe inflicted a serious defeat on the
French naval forces on Sunday, the
glorious list of June, 1894. Inkerman,
the Soldiers BATTLE was another Sum
day victory. Among other important
Sunday battles were Families. one Of
Marlborough's great victories, which
was fought on Whitsunday. 23d of May,
1905; oudenarde, on Sunday, 18th Of
July, 1908, and Malplaquet, on Sunday,
18th of September, 1909. The battle OF
Vimiera was fought on Sunday. 21st
of August, 1908, and it was on Sunday,
18th of January, 1872 that Wellington
issued the brief but determined order,
"Ciudad Rodrigo must be carried by
assault this evening at o'clock" The
Indian mutiny broke out s. Mesrut en-
Sunday, 10th Of May, 1857.

The degree of civilization of a nation
may be known infallibly by it's cleanli-
ness. In race or individual the dirtl-
err the more degraded, as a general
principle. The Japanese are the clean
est of all the orentals. They battle like
white men, the whole people. 1t is
true there are small niceties of our
ways to which they do not 'catch on"
For instance, it is not easy to make
your Jap table waiter understand why
he should not wipe the perspiratlon
from his heated brow with the same
linen cloth with which he polishes your
cups and knives. But a little thing like
that is of no consequence in the orient.
You get used to worse, yea, much
worse.
A feature that impresses the foreign
er strongly is the number of young men
in japanese government councils and
in high command in army and navy.
Among their important officials almost
the only really old man is Count Mat
sukata, minister of finance. He has a
shrewd, Chinese looking face and prob
ably knows how to disburse the yen to
best advantage. Marquis Yamagata,
| the prime minister, is no more than
middle aged.
/ Lieutenant H. Saito, who brought the
crew of the torpedo boat destroyer Axe
bono from Yokohama to London to
place them on board their vessel which
was built on the Thames, is a good type
of young Japan in the navy and one OF
it's rising men as well. When scarcely
81, he bore his part in the Chino-Jap-
anese war and distinguished himself sc
brilliantly that he won both medals anC
| promotion. During the long voyage
from Yokohama to London Saito KEPT
his men up to their physical exer.
cises admirably. Whatever tended tt
strengthen them bodily and make then
regardless of danger or hardship, tina
they tackled in their daily drill. What
ever in Japanese history recounted il
lustrious victories or deeds of daring b,
national heroes, tending to fill then
with enthusiasm to fight their country
battles and die for her, this they had il
i song and recitation. =

ent moment are on little Japan,

Across the mountains of Korea
The little Jap and the big Russian are
glaring ominously at each other. That
the land of the chrysanthemum should
defy the great and august Russian en-
pire seems a strange and almost
baughable thing. A hundred of their
little Japans could be dropped on the
Territory of the great White Car and
Htill not blot it off the map. But the
Uap is belligerent little fellow who
has had his first intoxicating taste of
blood, and for several years now he has
been getting ready to fight. He has
kept English shipyards busy building
battleships for his navy, he has drilled
his army and trained his navy and dur
ing the last ten years he has seen new
national spirit spring up in his country
Unless the great powers of the world
combine in some movement to guaran-
tee the political autonomy of Korea it
may be that the open door on the Asiat-
dc coast shall become a. thing of the
past. Unless that neck of coveted land
stretching down from Manchuria is pre-
served as the buffer state which ma
ture designed it to be, Russia and ia
pan, if one is to judge by existing signs,
are going to fight for its possession.
1t will be a bitter struggle. Russia,
1t must be remembered, will never feel
safe with the Jap in possession of Ko-
rea simply because that would bring
the oriental to the Yalu river, which
lies strategically between Port Arthur
and Vladivostok. If, on the other hand,
Russian soldiers once occupied Korea,
the officers of Japan would be able from
their own shores to sight with their
glasses the advance hosts of a rival
power. So it will be fight to the fin
Dish before either shall yield in this Ko-
rean problem.
Japan has always banked on her ma
Wy, and a wonderful young navy it is.
There is but one word for Japan's col
lection OF fighting ships, and that word
is miraculous Thirty-one years ago
the navy of this little nation consisted
of two old steamships, one an antique
and wornout American battleship, and
the other an ordinary, small, renovated
tramp steamer. Today, in power, in
rate of speed and in the skill with which
they are handled, the ships of Japan
Iare second to none in the world. Even
in number the Japanese navy stands
eighth on the list of navies of the world.
Every month, too, new ships are being
tadded as fast as they can be built and
at the end of next year it is estimated
that the Japanese navy will stand

|of western Europe. The longest regular
steamer route in the world is that of
the Japanese ships which go from Yoko-
hama to Antwerp. touching at ports
along the way The complete round
voyage from Yokohama back to the
same port occupies almost five months.
In the passenger ships that sail to the
white mans countries the Jap is shrewd
enough to place white captains and
leading officers, usually British, arguing
correctly that travellers from Europe
and the States would scarcely care to
risk their necks upon a steamer manned
entirely by Japanese. But there is al

song, as though British tar had tried
once on time to teach the good old
Scotch air to a Japanese seaman, with
the result that, while the Briton did his
best and the Jap did his best, each
with the best intentions, they were new
er able quite to get together in their
music. The Jap must have got a Carl
cature of the genuine song firmly fixed
in his mind, and in his turn taught it
instead of the real thing to his brethren,
and so it is handed down from genera
ton to generation.
The present emperor of Japan himself
has written a patriotic air, which nat
urally became a national song. This it
is common for the crews of naval yes
sells to sing with a vim as the conclud-
| ing part of their evening drill, marching
around and around in rank meanwhile.
Enthusiasm and lung power without
stint are manifest in the singing.
If, however, as race the Japs lack
ear and musical voice, in one way they
have cheek enough to make up for
both. Do not understand that it is an
offensive way, for it is not. Your Jap
| simply desires to learn things. And if
one wishes to know a thing, the most
direct way to learn it is to ask about it,
! is it not? So he'little brown man asks,
undeterred by considerations of BASH

hesitate Whatever he wishes to find

a woman's age to the latest electrical
appliance for steering gear or the sal
airy of a newspaper man. He does not
boggle in the least at Ii Hung Chang's
favorite questions, How old are you,
and How much are you worth?
There is no conscious impertinence in
the questioning. The minds of this
most interesting and most capable OF
all the oriental peoples are brilliant and
eagerly acquisitive of knowledge. They
are children in their desire to get infor-
nation, shrewd grown people in their
determination to utilize it for their own
