Inside of Partisan Art.

Paris has lately been amused by a
suit brought by Nine. Brach, who gave
up the stage for sculpture. She has
sued to prevent publisher from sell
ing copies of statuettes which she her
self made and owned. In the trial it
was asserted by the defense that Nine.
Brach had bought the statuettes from
a sculptor named Ricardo, but had not
bought the right of copying them. She
had paid $50 for one and $40 for the
other, and the only privilege that
went with the sale was the right to
sign her name to them. 1t was also
asserted in the suit that a popular
statuette which the state had bought
for the Louvre had been made by
Nine. Brach in the same way; she had
paid Ricardo to do it for her and let
her win the glory. The models sat for
Nine. Brach, who worked busily with
her clay, but behind a curtain M. Ri

THE GREAT AMERICAN SAILOR.

cne of the Chief Factors in the Build
ing of the Country.
Unstinted praise of the American
sailor, backed by solid arguments of
his worth, were contained in the ad-
dress of the Rev. Winifred c.
Rhoades, pastor of the Eliot Congre-
gational church, at the meeting of
the Woman's Seaman's Friend Soci-
ETY. at the Central Congregational
church Monday afternoon. He said
in part: I'VE hear much about the
banker, the financier. and the soldier.
but of the poor humble sailor there is
very little said. AS a matter of fact,
the sailor was one of the chief fac
tors in the building of the United
States. During the early days, fish
ing was one of the leading industries
of New England, and later the trips
up and down the coast in search of
cod were of inestimable value in the
civilizing and settling of hitherto I'M
explored regions. Prominent men
were sailors in those days. Robert
Treat Paine, one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence, was
the commander of a vessel, and from
the time when the first ship built on
American soil was launched on the
Mystic by Gov. Winthrop, New Eng

and in the handling of these same
ships at sea.-Boston Transcript.

oils Of the Eas-Traveler Has Described the Streets as

Especial Correspondence

Osaka, the second city in Japan, is
sometimes called the Chicago of Japan.
1t Is probably so named because it is
such an enterprising. hustling. bustling
place in comparison with other jap
anese cities. 1t is, indeed, the COM
mercial metropolis of Japan. 1t boasts
much greater antiquity than the
American city, as it traces it's history
back even to prehistoric times. The
first Buddhist temple ever built in Jap
an was erected at Naniwa, as the place
was originally called. The name
Osaka, meaning big HILL" was given
to it about the time Columbus discov-
cred America Osaka was at first IA

nous as the principai seat of the Shin
sect of Buddhism. But when these
priests happened to incur the enmity
of the great chieftain, Nobunaga, they
were finally, in 1880, driven out of
Osaka, and their temple was burned.
In 1888 the famous general, Hide
yoshf, 1.-The Napoleon of Japan" de-
cided to make Osaka the seat of his
power and ordered to be constructed
there castle. said to be probably the
most magnificent building that Japan
ever saw" But, unfortunately, it was
mostly destroyed by fire in 1868, and
only few buildings remain. The cas-
tie grounds are now the headquarters
of the Osaka military district.
One Shinto temple, known as 'Iku-
dana Jinga," is tabled to have been
funded more than 600 years B. c.;
but historical criticism prevents US
from believing such a claim. One of
the oldest buildings in Osaka is the In
NOUS Buddhist temple known as Ten
nSji, whose fve-storied pagoda is a
landmark for miles around. 1t is pos
s:b1e to climb to the top of this pa
CODA and obtain a fine view.
This temple was founded about 600
A. D.; has been frequently destroyed
by fire and was last rebuilt in 1864. 1t
has just received a fine large bell,
said to be the first one cast in Japan
according to modern scientific prin-
ciples.
Osaka was once the capital of the
empire, at least in the reign Of EN-
perOr Ninkotu (313-399 A. d.. Con-
corning this kind ruler there is
favorite legend, as follows: Having
climbed a hill, looked all around and
observing the absence of smoke from
the cottages of the people, Ninkotu
decreed that for the space of three
years neither taxes nor forced labor
should be imposed on his subjects. His
1wn palace. for want of funds to re-
pair it, was allowed to become so di-
lapidated that the roof admitted rain.
Three years later he again ascend
ed the hill and beheld smoke rising
from every dwelling. The people were
now rich enough to bear taxation
without feeling the burden and yolun-'
tarily contributed toward rebuilding

AMI gives vivid picture OF what may
be seen in the Japanese Chicago: THE
streets of Osaka are the busiest i
have ever seen. They are literally
thronged with human beings engaged
in unceasing toll. The stores and
shops are also workshops and ware
houses. Clerks, designers, artisans,
packers. carriers, sellers and buyers
are so mixed up that the wonder is
how they all unravel themselves and
bring order out of the chaos which
seems to reign supreme In this re-
spect you are reminded of the de
