BITS ABOUT JAPAN.

Last year Japan imported foodstuffs
exceeding over $50 100000 in value
The Japanese government is in the
market for a number of locomotives.
The Japanese Marine association will
form a volunteer fleet of auxiliary
cruisers.
Japan has established her up-to-date
system of education in Formosa, with
much success.
The rice crop prospect in Japan is
good 1t is nearly 100000 bushels in
excess of the average crop of 100000
900 bushels.
In Japan every dishonored check or
note is publicly gazetted, consequently
very few are dishonored; in Toxic, for
instance, with it's 100000 population,
only 46 month during the year ended
May last.
Canada is pushing for sales in Japan.
Consuls are being appointed with au-
thority to pay for early statistical in
formation. Sample rooms will be at
tached to the consulates. Japanese
products will be exhibited in CONNER
cial museums in Canada.

CRUEL TO THEIR HORSES.
Drivers Who Leave Their Animals
Standing with Heads Checked
Too High.

Every now and then we notice stand
ing on the street horse refined up tight
ly, with an overdraw check-rein, says
Medical Talk.
This holds the horses neck and head in
a very uncomfortable position. There
he stands, perhaps hours, holding his
head first on one side then on the other,
trying to rest his neck from the need
less and cruel position in which he is
held.
Perhaps the owner is inside, doing
some business. Maybe smoking or drink
ing. Possibly preaching sermon or at
tending prayer meeting. But whatever
he is doing he has allowed himself to be
thOughtlessly very cruel to his horse
We always feel like unreining such a
horse. Sometimes we really do so. It
may be taking liberties with other peo-
pies property, but the end justifies the
means.
A horse ought to be refined up when
hitched on the street. Otherwise, he is
liable to put his head down, trying to
reach things on the ground, and he may
get his foot over the reins or lines and
tangle himself up, to his injury. There
fore, horse ought to be refined up, so as
to keep him from putting his nose to
the ground. But he ought to be refined
loosely.
The overdraw is a good precaution
against runaways, and when properly
adjusted to the horses comfort 1t is not
to be condemned. But tight overdraw,
that compels the poor horse to hold his
head high and stick his nose out, is bar
barous and the driver who can do such
things, after he has had his attention
called to it, ought to be obliged to wear
an overdraw himself, so he can get
through his thick skull the suffering 1t
creates.

"BRlTE AND FAIR"

"To-day was brite and fair.'-From the
Real Diary Of a Real Boy.
"Britc and fair''-It tells the tale
OF the days of long ago.
Bringing boyish song and hail
In an echo faint and low:
Written in the careless scrawl
Summing thus the days that were
Summer, winter. spring or fall.
Every day was "brite and fair"
Who remembers any rain
That came when he was a boy?
Who remembers any pain
Or forgets a shred CT joy?
In the picture of your youth
On which you so often gaze.
Is there any cloud, in truth?
"Brite and fair were all the days.
Ho the days that once were yours
Were the brightest days that daWned.
And the light of them endures
In your recollections fond!
How they rise, and how they call,
WhereSoeVer you may be
Till you hold them one and all
AS fine gold of memory!
Looking back and looking far
Through the laughter and the play,
Was there anything to mar
Any single boyhood day?
Twas the sunshine brought the shade
Never any cloud of care
And the heart within you made
Every day both 'brite and fair.

Abducted the Bride.

Only the other day an English brides
brother and brother-in-law had to pay
$4,000 for the forcible abduction of her
from her humble bridegroom. The be-
reaved husband had been her fathers
groom, and the courtship was carrie
on when he accompanied her in that
capacity on horseback. When she had
been left by her aunt $20, 900 she eloped
with her lover. Immediately after the
marriage, though the brides father
wished them all happiness, her brother
and brother-in-law, with the help of a
detective-who kept the bridegroom in
play-carried her of forcibly, and kept
her in durance till her father could con-
vey her to the continent-her vague
address at present.-Detroit Free Press.
