Japanese Immigration.

immigration to this country FROM
Japan has brought q higher class with
the laborers, and one whose coming is
a compliment to educational sys-
tenn. Education is relatively hard to
get in Japan, where wages are SO low
that a student cannot afford to sup
port himself and go to school, too. But
the public schools in San Francisco
and the two great universities al
Berkeley and Palo Alto are free to
them, and ambitious young men of the
upper classes have been glad to come
to California, where they could work
as servants in private households and
hotels while preparing to take thei-
degrees. To such an extent does this
practice prevail that two years ago II
was estimated that there were 5000
Japanese seeking education in Ca1ifor-
mia alone.
Only about 1925 were on the whole
Pacific coast in 1890. In the next two
years 1884 arrivedaa at San Francisco,
and many more anne by way Of Vic
toria and the northern ports. The ar.
rivals in San Francisco were 1880 in
1898, 1881 in 1894, 1850 In 1895, sol In
1897, 1926 In 1893, 1867 in 1899, and 1854
for the fiscal year just ended.-Ains-

"But we buried one Of them!

Honorable Robert was evidently in
the dark, and when they explained he
declared (truthfully) that he knew
nothing about it. AS a word painter
he proved a decided failure, consider
ing the adventures which they ex-
pected him to recount. He had moth
ing to relate, simple monotony waiting
for the ransom, and no matter how
they piled him with questions, IL
could tell them nothing Of the doings
of the gang, for he said he never saw
any OF them except the one who had
him in charge.
A few days after his return, pleading
the necessity Of a visit to a West End
tailor, he Travelled to London, after re-
ceiving strict injunctions and giving
a promise to shun his old haunts and
companions. Arrived in town he at
once proceeded to Tom Langton's
chambers, and his first words to his
chum were:
Il say, Tom, what about that ear
and why wasn't 1 told Of H?"
well, I thought you might object,
and as it was desirable to bring things
to a climax, I got it from the dissect-
ing room at the hospital through a
student"
1T took me quite by surprise when
they accused me Of having two ears,
and told me they had buried one of
them. But how about the money!"
II have told the fellows that you
have negotiated a loan and empowered
me to pay your debts. Here are the I

To his threadbare clothes they cling.
Pleading with him to return
Back across the days, and bring
Half the joys that made them sing,
Halt the hopes that made them burn.
Love stands in the path and pleads
For an hour of old delight;
Mocked Ambition cries his needs,
But the Old Year never heeds. :

Speak one word, departing year,
From thy silent lips and cold
Tell me, may the heart not hear
voices grown supremely dear

And hope wore the guise of. truth?
