into the sea. and shouted the order to attack The audience of husbands, wives and children shouted in sympathy. The torpedo was launched, the shells flew, the first attack on Port Arthur had begun. An officer was shot in the arm, and a, sailor tried to bind up the wound. The officer threw the sailor off, and to shame him beat the open wound repeatedly with his fist There was much more of this same spirit illustrated in the war drama, but the climax was the tearing up of the photograph, the sacrifice of every other emotion to that of patriotism. For here my country is first. Lafcadi Hearn tells how in the last war officers shot them selves, the modern hara-kiri, because they were left at the base or were too ill to lead their men into action Already in this war three have died for this same ideal One officer shot himself because he was taken prisoner. A recruiting ser geant. because a private wept when say ing farewell to his parents, drew his sword and struck him dead. and on the ground that Japan has no need for sol- diers who weep, the seargeant was not punished The third was a young lieu tenant, who, when ordered to Korea, found no one with whom he could leave his little daughter. That his mind might not dwell on her possible sufferings in his absence rather than on his country s
 work, he killed her. He was ordered to | be tried for murder after the war, and l sent to the front.

country as if we were following a trail. At times we crept tediously around a great boulder, or crossed a ravine on narrow bridge, turbulent stream rush
 ing along to the valley, many feet below us At another time the road lay along the edge of a precipice. The mountain lowered above on one side and valley spread out before us on the other. A mountaineer's cabin was just beneath us, and the smoke from the rough stone chimney noated up on the morning breeze. A little tow-headed child of the mountains paused in his play to look up at the train as it passed above him.
 But we soon passed over this preeipi- tous part of the road, and into the valley. Here it appeared we could penetrate no further. Mountains were to the side and directly in front, rising in majestic gran deur, it's naked face devoid of earth or vegetation, perpendicularly many feet above the valley, was mountain appar- ently of solid rock. It was an imposing sight and called forth a mental tribute to the magnificence of nature. The rock rising in stern dignity, presented natures strongest barrier and seemed to frown upon the efforts of man to penetrate fur ther into her rugged court.
 Here, indeed was an obstacle that the constructive powers of the engineer could not surmount. But nature seemingly had

Man has always been builder. His creative proclivities are recorded in our first histories and from his early and ann bilious efforts to ascend to the heavens by a tower of his own building, to the constructive and engineering feats of the Twentieth century numerous monuments attest his energy. and skill.
 But he is an imitator. His works from the hanging gardens of Babylon to his more recent undertaking the digging of t..e isthmian canal, and the resultant throwing together of the two mighty oceans, are in imitation of the master builder-Nature.
 I was forcibly impressed by the gran deur of nature and by the readiness with which man takes advantage of what, in one sense, might be termed her weakness, in journey by rail through the moun- tains of Virginia.
 It was in the early days of spring and the mountainous country through which we passed was in the first flush of vege- tation. High up in these temples of na- ture, where man had only recently in- truded animal life and vegetation seem- cd to be overhowing with the exuberance of spring.

 Colonel symons was stationed at Pacific post some time ago and devoted considerable study to the Celestials with whom he was thrown in contact. Chinese is by no means easy to remember. how ever, and when the prince arrived, Colonel Symons decided to let the familiar sounds probe his memory first before he em- parked on a conversation with the im- perial visitor On the second day Col onel Symons ventured a remark to the prince in native Chinese, much to tho latters astonishment, and from that mo- ment they were on a new footing of friendship
 Prince Pu Iun was thoroughly capt- vated with the Presidents aide, and the fact that an American could speak to him in his own tongue struck him as new illustration of the wonders of the country which he is now visiting.

Japan was in the air. This son was the captain of a torpedo boat, and he told how his father had been killed by Rus sian a captain, now Admiral Makaroff whom he in turn would kill. A sailor sauntered down the long platform, open ed the garden gate and gave the officer his summon to join his ship. War had been declared. The officer retired and returned in uniform. The parting from his wife and his little boy, from our point of view as to how such a parting would take place was interesting. The Japanese officer could not exhibit the least emo ton, and neither he nor his wife touched the other, nor, of course did they em- brace or kiss. The woman brought the husband photograph of herself and her son. and he looked long time at 1t and stuck 1t inside his coat. The scene was real and solemn-the sailor who had brought the message lettering outside in the garden, yawning unconcernedly, or grinnng at the little nezan waiting at the steps to put on her masters boots; the boy admiring and tugging at his fa- ther's sword; the wife weeping, but mak- ing no outcry, and kneeling at her hus- bands feet and the officer holding him self in hand and saluting her prostrated figure as he marched away down the long platform I must confess that it made me cnohe, anu lhe men ~ltn We all went out and drank to the Japanese navy.
 The Plot Thickens.
 In the next act we saw a torpedo de- stroyer off Port Arthur the waves rolled and tossed, and the men on the torpedo boat changed watch, scanned the sea with binoculars, and at last were sent to 1 quarters. They awaited the dash upon the battleships. The officer of the pre- vious act stood alone on the bridge. He | took out the photograph of his wife and boy, and in the moving searchlight gazed at 1t. Then scornfully and contemptu- ously he tore it into tiny bits, threw il

 What made the war drama I saw the other night interesting was that 1t was so like the war drama as we have it at home It pulled the same strings, it paused in the same places for the same applause, and, except that it ranked love of country higher than love of humans, it was an od-fashioned Academy of Music meodrama in a Japanese uniform. In my ignorance I had supposed the Iapa- nese theatre would be as far removed from our own as is the Chinese theatre in Chinatown. It was not at all like that theatre. The only great dissimilarity lay in front of the curtain especially in the orchestra floor. The orchestra floor slanted down toward the stage and was divided. by rails of polished wood raised foot from the mating into tiny squares. It looked like a mammoth cu- cumber frame without the glass. Each equare held four persons seated cross legged on the mating. and with them their tea things, trays of food and pipe boxes The ushers who brought the tea and food ran and leaped with the agility of tight-rope performers along these pol shed rails. The musicians occupied the lower stage DO&. me cnDTuS Sail III tue , one opposite If was Greek" chorus, not "show girl' shorus. The aisles, or what in our theatres would be aises, were | long, narrow platforms. When with us l the prestidigitator comes down among the i spectators to borrow watches and take rabbits from high hat, he walks on just such a platform. In Japan they form a part of the stage.

 Except that it is furnished in dark | woou and lighted by only a few gas jets. the auditorium resembles one of our own. The Japanese, like ourselves, have a ncqname for the highest gallery.

At first when the actors ran up and down the | platforms. it was confusin. but one soon became accustomed to it; and when. dur ing an act which took place at sea, the platform was soemnly spread with a strip of canvas three feet wide, painted to rep resent storm-tossed waves, which rolled over the heads of the spectators, one ac' cepted it as an inlet of the ocean.
 The stage of the theater in Tollo Is twice as wide as one of the ordinary size at home but the flies hang only half as high. This is in keeping with the tiny propor- tions of the Japanese house. Were the proscenium arch as lofty as with us. four fifths of the scenery would consist of blue sky. This smalness of the Japanese dwelling and the great breadth of the stage make it possible in one scene t' show several houses of actual size sep arated by streets and gardens in whicl people pass in rickshaws, or trim th

LABOR FOR THE SOUTH.

Senator Simmons, Of North Caro-
line, is preparing bill to encourage
migration of Europeans arriving on
our shores to southern states. This
is a departure. The southern states
have been well supplied with colored
labor, as a rule, and there has been
little incentive to encourage any
movement south.
A few days ago one of Mr.. Simmons
constituents from Columbia county,
large lumber operator, was here,
en- route to New York where be is try
ing to persuade the Firms coming
here to go to the lumber camps of his
state. There is a scarcity of employ
ees there. Many North Carolinians
are now inclined to employ white la
Dor.
Mr.. Simmons idea is that immi-
grants arriving at Ellis Island should
he able to secure ready information
about the opportunities for employ
ment in different parts of the country.
He favors something like O. permanent
exhibit near Ellis Island of various
products, so that the foreigners can
learn what parts of the country are
engaged in industries with which they
have been familiar at home. He pro
badly will incorporate something OF
this character in the bill he is pre-
paring.-Washington Post, 18th.
This is step in the right direction
and should be joined in by al! of the
southern states. Such immigration
as we want will never be obtained
without an effort. They do not vol
unfairly 20 to any section. In fact
they are wholly unacquainted with
this country and on arrival are only
sought by railroads, in long haul
westward. There are more favorable
opportunities for these people in the
south than elsewhere. Good and reli-
liable labor never fails to find remun-
erative employment in the south.
