Happy People of Japan

gather about you, offering cakes and
tea, all the while chattering like mag
pies. Any little incident that among
Europeans would pass unnoticed is
quite sufficient to send these merry
folk into fits of laughter.
The rural Japanese as a rule wear
as few clothes as the law allows, and
since in some districts there io no law
on this subject the result is obvious.
In facts the children wear nothing at
all in summer, while the men and wU
men have but scant-a very scant-
apology for raiment. The national
garb is, of course, the kimono; but
this is often cast aside in favor of a
short jacket and trousers, or among
a handkerchief or other small rag.
, This scantiness of clothing, however,
seems so natural that it rarely eXcites
remark.
All the villages are remarkable for
their cleanliness and neatness, and
except for some of their sanitary ar:
rangements, are models of comfort
and simplicity. Agriculture is carried
on with the crudest implements, yet
with a skill and care which have made
garden out of land of barren noun
tains, while some of the workmen in
regard to the arts of joinery and weaW
ing might give valuable hints to our
own people.

Church Without a Name

D. 1888, at time when there were
mills in the village for the manu-
facture Of paper, and number of
hands were employed. One Of the
principal paper makers and his wife
realized that the provision made for
the spiritual needs Of the people was
altogether Inadequate, and resolved
to build them q church. This they &C
corlingly did, and tradition declares
that the remarkable design and un-
ecclesiastical character Of the edif1ce
mar be attributed to the special avo-
cation of the founder, who hoped thus
to f,nmortalize his business! The
church will soon be restored, when It
is proposed to make it look moref like

A Song of Chicago

Will rise and front the foeman,
AS did the stubborn Roman
When treason showed his hand!
Into her garden gracious
Pour all the sons of men,
Her marble halls are spacious,
Grace is her diadem.
Her soaring soul is chainless,
Her silvery shield is stainless,
Her reign is soft and painless,
And beauty is her gem.
Calm as some high-born maiden
In her ancestral hall,
Her robes of state arrayed In,
She marshalS one and all.
Her brow is frank and fearless,
She heartens all the cheerless,
Fair Chatelaine so peerless
With henchmen at her call.
When fiery flames were roaring,
And rumbling at her door,
And hell itself seemed pouring
It's vitriol on her floor,
She reused herself reliant
And purged herself defiant
Unlike a maid compliant
Who sells herself for store.
Through darkling nights Of terror
She Staggered through the fray,
Through choking mists of error,
She CROPPED to find the day.
And though she often stumbled,
AS sick at heart and humbled,
She watched her roof tree crumbled,
She won-she won her way.
Stand firm, oh gracious goddess,
To guard what you have won,
The heart beneath your bodice
Beats strenuous as the sun.
Flushed with the hue Of morning,
Imperial eyed, and scornlng,
The groundlings' gibes and warning,
Cry you'll WILL Wont"

The native Japanese, particularly
those who have not come into close
contact with modern civilization, is
distinguished as much by his natural
courtesy and politeness as by his aver
sion to clothing. The peasants in the
interior are especially noted for their
punctiliousness in saluting one an
other; even rickisha men hurrying
along the road with passenger will
sometimes stop to greet friend, while
a pretty woman receives a reverence
indeed. This. salutation is not merely
a word or nod, but low bow and a
flourish of that little mushroom hat,
and the greater friends they are the
lower they bow. In saying good-by
two Japs never see each. others faces,
both being so busily engaged in bend
ing their backs. AS. soon as one
straightens himself the other bows,
going backward all the while, until
they consider it polite to refrain.
When a foreigner passes through a
village every person he meets, from
the little child to the old man, will
bow most profoundly, so that the pass

umpnal procession. Your waiter at the

the number of salaams he makes while

To grasp the wealth and shine.

1.-THE Free State of Counani.' '"The
President of Counani, M. Adolph Bre-
zet." "The Members of the Govern
ment Of Counani.''
These phrases, not without their
impressiveness, especially to citizens
of a republic, have been much in evil
dence during the last fortnight or so
in the columns of the Paris news
papers. Surrounding them, however,
there has been romantic mystery.

reply And Monsieur Adolph Brezet,

commander Of his army, Baron Jette
de Ryckel; his financial secretary, Jo-
seph Marie Brezet, DUO de Beaufort;
his secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, M. Isidore Lopez Lapuya, and
goodness knows how many more, are
now in Paris. But for what?
"Ah!" replies Rumor, "this indomit-
able Brezet, the Garibaldi of Cou-
mani, having just extricated his coun-
try from the yoke of the tyrant, is
here to seek the French nations aid
in setting his infant republic on it's
feet"
Evidently Brazil was 'the tyrant, %
hut one does not seem to remember
the epoch-making struggle by which
the "Counanese," under Brezet's in
trepid lead, seem to have forced her
to relinquish her sovereignty over
their land. BUT the fact remains that
the president and his cabinet are
here, and that several rather mystify-
ing interviews with this savior of his
country have made their appearance.

these churches apart are not doc
trinal. The three bodies believe alike.
The issues are not ecclesiastical. The
three bodies have The same polity,
the same forms of administration.
The Presbyterian division dates back
to slavery and the war, and it turns
upon those old issues which were
fought out on many a battlefield and
which. so far as things civil and
political are concerned, are regarded
as forever settled.
There is no longer any reason why
these great religious bodies should
stand apart from each other. 1t is
nearly forty years since the war end
ed, and its issues ought hot longer
TO be kept alive. The Northern Pres
byterians have opened the way to
agreement by formally expunging
from their records every utterance
that could in any way be distasteful
to their Southern brethren. When
tidings of this action reached the as
sembly of the Southern Presbyterians
at Mobile, the ordinary decorum OF
such assemblies was broken by an
outburst of applause. The Cumber-
land Presbyterians yesterday took
favorable action on the resolution to
submit to the Presbyterians the ques-
ton of union with the Presbyterian
Church in the United States.
It would seem a good thing if the
three great religious bodies, one in
faith and tradition, forgetting the
things that are behind. could come to-
/ gether and go on, as one church, to-
ward the things that are before.

way from the nomination. He will

wire before time is called.
If the Democrats adhere to their
custom of requiring a two-thirds vote
to nominate, as they undoubtedly
will, in order to win the speechless

every delegation yet to be chosen, be-
sides every delegation now unin.
