THE MIKADo's COURT.
Characteristics of the Japanese Ruler
and the Empress.

and the Empress.
The western world hears very little
of the distant and somewhat secret
court of the mikado. Yet it is interest
ing in more than one respect, for the
poetical charm of it's traditions is
giving place gradually before the
advent of the spirit of the times.
The mihado Mutsuhito is regarded as
one of the cleverest and at the same
time most modest rulers recorded in
Japanese history. When he over
threw the Shotgun" in 1868 and re-
stored to his own dynasty, he won at
once the admiration and sympathy of
his people by abolishing despotic
form of government in favor of a
milder form. In his own country he
is known as hotel, but he is generally
referred to abroad as the mikado, or
the honorable gate. The mikado is
of comparatively large stature, and
his very majestic bearing is increased
by the generals uniform which he
usually wears. In his daily walks he
never passes beyond the limits of the
imperial gardens except on the oc-
casion Of the opening of parliament
and at rare intervals for the purpose
of attending military and civic
festivals. Unlike his predecessors
the mikado is very frequently to be
seen driving in his carriage, and when
he passes through the streets the
Japanese history. When he overthrow
the Shotgun" in 1868 and was re-
disappear from the line of route or to
turn their backs toward their ruler.
1t is curious to learn that this attitude
betokened a form of the highest
respect. Nowadays the people learn
that the mikado is approaching only
from the shouts Of the police: "The
mikado; beware!"
But, as the japanese are not yet
entirely accustomed to the NV order
of things, striking contrasts between
the old sacred traditions and modern
ideas are often to be seen. One day
the mikado nearly lost his life
through this conflict between the old
and the newer aspect of life in Japan.
/ The imperial carriage had arrived at
railway crossing just as a train
happened to be coming up. The man
in charge OF the crossing did not dare
to lower the barrier before the
mikado, and the engine driver could
not bring his train to standstill.
However, the mikado escaped by a
miracle.
At home the rnikado is necessarily ut
work. He makes point of being in.
| formed Of everything that happens
both in Japan and in foreign
countries. He Is very easy of access
for all his subjects. especially for
those of his people whom he has in
trusted with missions abroad. On
the other hand, he can grant only
very short audiences to European
diplomats. He speaks only Japa-

ONE ORANGE TREE.
From 1t Agricultural Department
Established Orange Industry.


There is an orange tree at the
agricultural department which. tradi-
ton says. has produced revenue
sufficient to meet all the expenses of
that department for the last thirty
years. Its history is interesting.
About 1870 an American woman told
Mr.. Saunders. the expert on pomology
for the department, that she had en-
joyed the most delicious oranges
while in the vicinity of the city of
Bahia, Brazil. and believed he would
do we'll to procure some of the bud
ded fruit as an experiment in this
country.
The secretary of agriculture re
quested our consul at that point TO
send him twelve budded trees. They
came in due time, and were in turn
budded on small seedlings for dis
tribution. There is one great tree
that survived, and, while they did not
thrive in Florida. they did on the
Pacific coast. and today the naval or
Bahia orange. the father of that
industry in California. owes its ex-
istence to the single tree now stand
ing in the glass house in the agri-
cultural grounds.
OF the crop of about 10000 carloads
for 1901 at least $4,000 of them were
of the navel variety, while the
revenue varies from 100000 to $5,-
100000 a year.
The statement Of this fact. single
tree having produced Sufficient
revenue to sustain the department
for period of thirty years, never
fails TO awe the tourist. and causes
him to beg for a single leaf from the
wonderful money tree.-Washingto

MORE JINGLE WRITTEN ESPECIALLY
FOR JEALOUS PEOPLE.]
To night l took paper up and in it l
did see
Something interesting about The
NEwTOwN BEE
Devoting too much space to jingling
attack
That wasn't meant for ladies but for
the DEVILS back.
For ladies have always loved and for
one would die,
But evil spirits I do hate and 1 will
tell you WI y:
Because they make for women so much
work and pain,
And now they're doing all they can to
over all men reign.
But ladies they are ladies and always
just the same
And would never say one word to in
jure their good name,
And I wish my jealous friend would
read my verses DER,
And if they are'too lengthy just throw
them on the floor.
And If he does not like the rhyme then
just read allsthe prose,
That took for my theme and used
when closed;
Some was taken from the Bible and
gives good advice
And some tells of Christian men that
lived Cody lives.
And flour local editor and every one
would do,
AS George Muller did and Dwight l..
Moody, too,
Then space in a paper would not be
thrown away,
And we would see the dawning OF the
great Millennial day.
And now my jingling attack is over
for this time,
And I want to write some prose and
leave out all the rhyme
Not to slur an honest lady or hit a
godly man,
But to show jealous editor my mo-
tive and my plan.
And wish was an editor and had a
printing press
So 1 could print some puzzling things
for jealous ones to guess,
And il I'm not mistaken, my jealous
friend would see
Some things never published in the
large NEwTowN BEE.
In the Reporter Office are some verses
all in rhyme
That left with the editor about cleo
tion time,
And ladies are not mentioned, or any
kind of church
But men that are towards and from
duty shirk.
Our editor don't like me or anything ]
write,
But l must stop my jingling or ]
SIldHu sleep 10 nlgnC.
But do hope my jealous friend will
in few days see
What am writing here tonight pub

once heard of a dog that in a man

And would not let the OK eat any OF

But hate to see an editor stretch
way out and lay
On some other paper that is in the
right way,
And shows no Partially and is honest,
pure and clean,
And doesn't publish anything vile, low
or mean,
Any more than 1 would wrong any
church,
And especially the ladies that sing,
pray and work.
For immortal souls are precious and
time is passing away,
And soon will come the solemn and
great Judgement Day,
And then it will be known and all un.

How much we did wrong, how much
we did good,
How much we served Satan and how
much we served the Lord,
And how much we followed men in
stead of Gods word.
And now my jingle jingle will bring
to close,
For want little space to write lit
tie prose.

DEATH OF GEORGE HILL.

It is with sadness that your CORE

very highly esteemed citizen and
friend, George Hill, who departed this
life Monday morning, April 20, at
about half past IL O'Clock. He has
suffered many weeks, much and pa
tiently, now his Father has kindly
given him rest. The town in which
he lives will miss him as will also the
church and parish of St Andrews,
Marketable. His friends will miss
him, his father aud mother, and his
wife and son. He was good son and
kind father. His neighbors will
miss him. There was no more kindly
heart than his and no one more will
ing to do loving deeds. He was long
an officer in the church, Sabbath
school superintendent, and was the
friend and teacher to fine class OF
young men. They twill all miss him.
He will be missed everywhere but our
loss will be his gain.
Home tonight.
'O!ihome tonight! yes home tonight,
Trough the pearly gate and the open
door,
His happy feet on the golden street.
Are entering now to go out no more.
For his work is done and his rest be-
gun,
And the training time is forever past,
And the home of rest in the mansions
blest
Is safely, joyously reached at last.
o, the love and light in that home to-
night!
o, the songs Of bliss and the harps of
gold.
O, the glory shed on the new crowned
o, the telling of love that can meier
be told.
O, the welcome that waits at the shin
ing gates
For those who are following far, yet
near,
Where we all shall meet at His glori-
GUS feet
In the light and the love Of His home
so dear.
Yes, home tonight!
