rseLlss ~ JAPAN.

Until forty years ago an English
book was practically unknown in
Japan. the only foreign literature
studied was the Chinese. and the FIRST
language to be taught In the schools
was the Dutch.
Now, while English IL the most com.
mon among the people. and is studied
by all high school pupils. German and
French are favored generally by
scholars and physicians. There Is a
foreign language school in Tokyo,
where almost all languages are taught.
and, curiously enough, Russian is the
favorite.
The study OF English literature in
Japan Is represented by Prof. Yuzo
Tsu Chouchi, who has translated into
Japanese some of Shakespeare's plays
-"Otheilo," Macbeth and "The
Merchan. Of Venice"
The most widely known English
writer in Japan is Carlyle. All stu.
dents of English literature in japan
read his works. Next to Carlyle comes
Macaulay, and the new Hanyaku, or
translation style, was practically Gre
ated by borrowing his language by the
Minyushamen "a literary band in
Tokyo. Emerson is greatly admired,
and his writings have influenced many
notable Japanese journalists to-day.
Mill and Herbert Spencer have also
influenced the thought Of modern
Japan.
Tennyson. Longfellow, Wordsworth
Byron and Milton are the most popu
lar poets, and in fiction Irving, Thack
cray, and Dickens are the best known
Bellamy's Looking Backward" has
been recently translated into Japan

The codlinu Mnth.,-

The codling moth is without doubt
the most important insect enemy with
which apple growers in the United
States have to contend. The pest
does not at the present time appear
TO have reached all the apple growing
regions of the United States. notably
scme parts OF the northwest regions
OF the country. including Oregon and
Washington. Yet how soon IL will be.
come destructive pest there no one
can tell. The insect is easy 20 dis
tribute, as everyone that has pur-
chased apples can well understand
for the worm travels incognito in the
fruit Itself The part of The apple
with the worm in II is thrown out on
he ground and in due time the moth
emerges. This is doubtless the way
In which the pest has been spread.
OF course no man In making ship
ment of apples has taken a second
thought of this matter. When fruit
.s shipped long distances in boxes
and barrels the worms have frequent
ly emerged from the fruit and spun
cocoons In the corners of the boxes
and the moths have come out before
the apples were disposed of. When
the boxes were opened the moths, of
course. went out and sought the near.
est apple trees. Where there are
large commission houses the larvae
crawl out of the apples and often get
into cracks and under boards and spin
their cocoons, and thence the moths
emerge to become the means of In
testing the orchards in that vicinity.
When the spreading of this pest is SO
easily accomplished, it is wonder
that any part OF the country remains
where the codling moth is not.
Had our people at first we'll under
stood the Importance of this pest and
the method it uses in spreading from
locality to locality it would have beer
comparatively easy to have prevent
ed its spread altogether. for then only
perfectly sound apples could have
been shipped to new localities. But
with this, as with most of the Other
pests that have made trouble, we our
selves imported it and carried II about
with us, never thinking about the pos
sible results. Now 1t must be fought

is costing us dearly. The. spraying o

DANGER I'M TOO MUCH HURRY.

Il is charged that while only trained
high grade men can operate trains
that are not fully equipped with all
the latest improvements. the installa'
tion of these Improvements is often
used as an excuse for employing in
ferior men. thus off-setting any meas
ure OF safety that might have been
added by the improved equipment.
The public, after ali. is to blame
Every man, of course, regrets the loss
of life in railway accidents and Is
ready TO censure the managers lot
running trains at too high a rate OF
speed. but when he starts on trip
he wants the speed limit removed
The nation is in hurry and the ran
road company that proposed to lessen
the speed Of trains for the express
purpose of reducing the chances OF
accidents would promptly be ridiculed
as an old fogy outfit and its business
would go TO its riyal.-Washinston
Post.

JAPANESE HUMANITY.

without a single white man to ad-
wise or control, with few war cor
respondents to comment or criticise,
the Japanese are keeping up in this
campaign as high standard of hui
manity and kindness to their foes as
any civilized power in the world.
Prisoners who have escaped "speak
in enthusiastic terms of the manner
in which the Japanese treat the Rus
sian wounded. The Japanese army
doctors, it seems, are splendid, and
they personally saw to the comfort
of all the Russian wounded" Civi-
lized man is an incarnate paradox.
Having called to his assistance all
the highest talents in one depart
ment of science to provide the most
awful and barbarous instruments for
destroying his fellow-man, he sum.
mons with the same breath the mas
ters of another science to undo as far
as possible the inevitable conse-
quences of the use of shot and shell
torpedoes and submarines and all the
other deadly machines Of modern
warfare. Looked at from one aspect
war is the negation of all humanity
regarded from another, it evokes hu

WORK THAT sHoRTENs LIFE.

Metal polishers are said to become
disabled in about seven years. For
that reason they command high
wages. Most of them die OF con-
sumption. The stonecutter's life is a
little longer, but death comes to him
in the same way. Workers in trenches
and sewers, street-cleaners, canal-dig-
gers, workers in caissons. tunnels, In
compressed air, bridge builders and
railroad laborers are short lived. The
tunnel under the North river cost
more than a score Of lives by acei-
dents besides permanently impairing
the health and shortening the lives
of unknown scores. Building OF the
New York and Brooklyn bridges was
very fatal to human life. An engineer
told me that they kept the facts out
of the newspapers as much as possi-
Bile. All great works of engineering
are prosecuted at an expense OF hu'
man life and health.-Health Culture

CONTENT AND HASTE IN WORK.

President Charles w. Eliot says in
the July Worlds Work that the prin-
cipal sources of satisfaction and con-
tent in daily work are the active ex-
ercise of ones powers; achievement,
or the getting well done something
worth doing; harmonious cooperative
effort, putting mind into work or using
judgment and skill, successfully en-
countering risk, making adventures
and mastering novelty and variety.
1t is, unquestionably, easy to have
all satisfaction in daily work de-
stroyed by the imposition of condi-
tions which make satisfaction impos-
sible. If labor is pressed beyond the
limits of strength and health, content
in it is impossible. Any overwork de-
stroys the physical basis of satisfac-
ton in toll. If the hours of labor are
exaggerated, so that reasonable time
for meals, family life, recreation and
sleep is not to be had the due salts
faction in toll will not be realized. The
conditions of modern urban life tend
to develop in the American population
an unreasonable haste and stress in
both work and play. This haste and
stress are quite as highly developed
In the higher employments as in the
lower; and, relatively to numbers,
overwork now prevails in the higher
employments more than in the lower
probably because there is more and
keener pleasure in them, and they
are, therefore, more liable to be pur
sued with an inordinate zeal.

Patent Absurdit.es.

II farmers would read more they
perhaps would be caught by the
sharpers less often than they are. It
seems OF little use however to warn
farmers against being caught by the
various swindles that are being
worked; for the reason that the far.
mers that are the dupes are the ones
that do not read agricultural papers.
We believe that very few of our read
ers are food for such sharks. Some
time ago a farmer In Oklahoma was
worked by a man that was selling pa
tent rights for preparation that he
claimed would. II put on trees. kill all
the borers and that IL buried In the
ground of an orchard would cause all
the gophers there to leave. He also
told the farmer that the experiment
station had offered $1,000 for half in
terest in the patent. The farmer
wrote 10 the Oklahoma station asking
II the thing was fraud and received
a reply that it was. The remarkable
thing about such games is that they
give enough revenue TO keep the men
that work them In good condition.
This does not speak well for the
acumen OF the farmers that are swim
died. The truth should be patent to
all that there is no 'cure-all" for any
disease or insect. Gophers do not
care what is buried in the ground an
acre away and the borer does not
care what preparation is put on the
tree. so long as 1t is kept out OF his
hole.

DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE.

The widespread condition of danger
to human life in the appliances of our
eager and hurrying civilization can
only be due to certain carelessness.
a lack of earnest attention to the
safety of the community Partly, no
doubt, it is due to too much eagerness
to save expense and make the greater
profit, even at the risk of occasional
unnecessary losses. Corporations.
capitalists, contractors and builders
need to be held to stricter require
ments and lawmakers and officials
need to be held to higher RESPONSE
bility; but it all depends in the last
analysis upon the state of the public
mind and the spirit of the people.
There is where higher regard for
life and care for the general security
needs to be cultivated.-New York
Journal of Commerce.

Guard AGAINST Eorent Fires.

Many readers of The Farmers Re
view have small wooded areas that
are Of value. It has been shown that
the greatest injuries come to these
areas from fires, which not only kill
the standing trees, but, when they are
well fed by underbrush and loppings
Of trees cut down, SO destroy the soil
that little will grow on 1t for many
years. Too often these losses are oc.
casioned largely by the negligence OF
the farmers themselves, who take no
precautions to keep the dried
branches away. The time of the year
is here when fires are annually re-
ported in large numbers. The first
thing to do at this time is to collect
all the loppings of the trees and either
draw them to the house to be used for
kindling and fire wood generally or
pile and burn them in places where
ccnfiagration will not result. This is
easy enough to do, but IL they are
left uncared for the whole wood lot
Is liable to suffer to the extent of
hundreds II not thousands of dollars.
We hear annually of a great many
fires, but we must remember that only
the largest fires get into print. The
little fires that destroy only few
hundred dollars worth OF trees are
never reported outside cf the local
press, as little item Of news. Thus
it seems likely that there are in the
country thousands of wood lots ruined
by fires every summer. Now is the
time to take precautionary measures.

A PoPE's DEMOCRACY.

The Papacy loves precedents, and
Plus X. has been vastly gratified by a
statement put into his hands by one
OF his librarians that Pope Sixtus ",
of old time, had a sister who. very
finely dressed, was brought to her
brother by the cardinals. Thereupon
the pontiff affected not to know her
She was therefore hurried out of his
presence. "The cardinals" says the
record, lied her out of the palace and
had her dressed in her usual clothes
those of a weshwoman." Then she
returned and the pope, advanced
from his throne, embraced her and
called her his dear sister" Plus x
has now a quotation ready for those
who criticise the present dress OF hi:
sisters.-London Chronicle.

eLUNpER OF THE RICH MAN.

It is a bad blunder for the rich men
to try to shirk their civic duties. II
creates prejudice against them. They
may not care for that, but it is a mat
ter of serious care to them whether
or not the law is upheld. Without
law their vast property interests
would be worth nothing. The more
the people respect the law the better
It will be for the property owners, and
II for no higher and nobler reason 1t
is clearly in the material interest OF
the rich that law an dorder shall pre-
vail and it is therefore in their inter
est to discharge their civic duties
with faithfulness and with willingness
and to respond cheerfully to the de-
mands of the state authorities.-Rich'
mond (Va.) Times-Dispatch.
