OLD AND NEW JAPAN.
In Days of Yore the Industrial PIu-
tOcrat Was Not Known in
That Country.

In old Japan there were few violent
contrasts between rich and poor, and
in fact, the industrial plutocrat was
unknown, says the London Mail. The
nobly born were rich, If rich at all,
only in land and rice, and they were
not envied, as they seem to belong to
the natural order of creation. But to-
day the tradesman and the manufac-
turer, who were once almost the lowest
of mankind, infinitely below the tillers
of the soil, are becoming insolently
rich and are the real lords of Japan,
while the children of Samurai are glad
to get small clerkships from those
whom their fathers despised.
| have been spending much time in
darkest Toxic Of late, and the micro
scopic misery to be found there would
make a story appalling to those who
fancy that Japan is nothing but sway
ing lanterns and softly falling cherry
blossoms. Buying and selling is con-
Quoted OF such ar infinitesimal scale
among these submerged wretches that
the sum of ~sixpence will provide Il
handsome stock for a hawker in popu-
lar lines of food.
Among these un~fortunates, who
often walk the streets at night for the
want of a half-penny to engage lodg-
ings on a damp floor swarmirg with
vermin, one hears the doctrines of
Proudhon and Ferdinand Lassalle dis
cussed volubly. Their works have been
translated into little pamphlets and
read to the illiterate by the occasional
scholar who carries a few thousand
i~deagraphs in his brain.
Japan has come so far" they all
say; "why will it not be well to go
the entire route, OF at least so far as
the ideal state?"
Poor, hungry, b~edragged dreamers!
But they are not alone, for the Japan
ese of all ranks outside of the bour-
geoisie and the great MOBILES arc ask
ing the same thing. With eminent
practically they ask: Why is it not as
easy to get a government that repre-
sents the best conception of man as to
worry along with a makeshift that is
mantle silly imperfect?
Before Japan lies the sinister shad-
of an irresistible conflict.

RED BANK, n. j., Feb. 20.-A re-
gatta has been held here by the ice

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old Ore-How

The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins arc SO lame to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange tia bad buck for a nsw
and stronger one. Fol ow the example

SNOWY cANDLEMAs.
Popular superStitions Concerning the
Day in This and other
Countries,

Forty days after Christmas comes
Candlemas, when, according to popu.
lar superstition, the wolf, the badger
and the bear ask no ODDS of the wealth.
er bureau, but come out of their holes
to do a little prognosticating on thei1
own account, says the New York Her
aid.
In Germany there are two proverbial
expressions to convey the common
idea, 1.-THE shepherd would rather
see the wolf enter his stable an Candle
mas Day than the SUM- and 1.-THE
badger peeps out of his hole on Candle
mas Day, and when he finds snow he
walks abroad; but if he sees the sun
shining he draws back into his hole"
In this country the small boy, an apt
student of local folk lore and tradition,
adjusts his latest shoe string watch
fob and remarks, o%racularly: "Well, et
the w~oodchuck kin see his shadder to-
day when he comes out'n his hole an
looks aroun' that means a long winter
yet. Pa says So"
Nor is this belief that good weather
on Candlemas Day is the index of a
continuance of winter and of bad crops
to follow, or that a stormy day is
the harbinger of early spring, a matter
of locality.
The same idea is expressed in a
Latin distich given by Sir Thomas
Brown in his Vulgar Errors"
ST Sol splendescat Maria purifcante,
Major crit glacies past fistune guam fuit
ante,
while the Scotch embody their conclu-
sions in the following rhyme:
If Candlemas Day be dry and fair,
The half O. winters to come and mair,
If Candlemas Day be wet and foul, .
The half O. winters gone at Yule.
Quite similar is the middle VESTS
rhymed version of the popular belief:
AS far as the sun shines out on Candlemas
day,
So will the snow blow in before May;
AS far as the snow blows on Candlemas
Day,
So will the sun shine out before May.
The name Candlemas is supposed to
be derived from the blessing of the
candles by the Romish clergy and their
distribution among the congregation,
who afterward carry them in process
sion.
In England during Catholic times a
special meaning was attached to the
size of the candles and the manner in
which they burned during the process
sion. If any fragment was left over it
was believed to be possessed of strong
supernatural virtues.
Scotland is especially rich in curious
customs relative to Candlemas, which
is also one of the four term days ap-
pointed for periodical annual payments
of money, interest and taxes.

Interstate Athletic club here. At the
end of the sixth round the sailors eyes
We're bleeding, his stomach was red
and raw from the terrific right and

ministered, and doubtless another
round would have finished him. Mum
roe was practically unframed. 1t marks
the coming of a man Jeffries must
fight.
In the first round Munroe lost his
guard and went to the floor with n
crash from a right swing, taking the
count. Barring this accident, although
Sharkey fought with the desperateness
of despair, Munroe held him safely.

1t was in the third round that Nun.
roe's drives to Sharkey's stomach
weakened the marine. His swings
came at shorter intervals, and his
stomach became more and more I'M
guarded. Munroe, always srailing, cool
and calculating, followed Kid McCoy's
advice to punch him in the stomach"
Sharkey went to his knees in the
fifth round, and in the sixth Munroe
might have lost the glory earned so
hard. when a swing sent him down.
He was up in a moment. still smiling
and fighting i'll the same brilliant man

In the sixth round, while the rafters
were being fairly shattered by the
cheers, Sharkey was all but out. Game
to the last, both eyes bleeding, his nose
bruised, his muscles all but failing to
perform their functions, he took the
awful punishment and welcomed the
bell. He looked a victor at no point in
the contest and left the ring a battered
and disappointed pugilist.

Mammals and Reptiles.

Though once the reptiles we're bigger
than the mammals, as time went on the
latter grew in size and the reptiles de-
creased. The exact reason is not known,
though many theories have been put
forward. While some types have per-
sisted down the ages, and families have
gone on producing forms similar to
those now found, though with slight
alterations and adaptations, others have
become really extinct. Examples of the
latter are the dinosaurs, thermophs.
icthyosaurs, pleisiosaurs and the four
horned arsinoetherium from the sands
of the Fayum, in Egypt.
