Suicide I'm Japan.

The ancient custom of disposing or
ones troubles by suicide does not pre-
vail in Japan as much as formerly
but compared with other countries the
number of those who annually take
their own lives seems very large
Fifty years ago, when man was IN
suited he killed himself instead OF the
offender, and the supreme vengeance
against an enemy was to commit sui
eide upon his doorstep, because that
placed a curse upol him and his ram
ilv and his home forever that could
not be removed. Suicide was consld'
cred an honorable death, much more
honorable than fighting duel. 1t was
also sublime method of showing
gratitude and affection. Many q ser
want voluntarily followed his master
as many a knight followed his daiinh
TO the japanese heaven. When dls
craced or convicted or accused OF us
honorable conduct, particularly among
tbe military element, suicide was
means of atonement and a penancf
that sufIiced for any crime. Oflcers IL
the army were given choice between
suicide and court martial. Many OF
these ideas still cling to the old-tasn
toned part of the population. partlcW
larly in the interior of the country
The number of suicides is actuaiy
very large. and increasing.

Returned to the Fold.

neturneu 10 inc rOius
There is a club woman with two
pretty daughters who deserted her
family last Sunday night to go take
tea with a couple Of girls whom she
knew. Now, having these glddy daugh'
tiers, she had sort of grown to be re-
garded as mother" but she is really
uncommonly attractive, and the girls
whom she went to see and the young
man who was taking tea with them
had no idea of RELOCATING their guest
to any background of matronhood. SO
they laughed at her intention of going
to meeting" after supper. and jolly
evening sped all too quickly.
Meanwhile mother" was being
missed at home. The girls. going duti'
fully to church with their beaux, were
amazed not to see their revered parent
occupying her usual place in the pew.
The boys came home with them after
church and stayed until IL O'clock
and still no sign of the feminine head
of the house. At 11.30 their father
descended from the library to inquire
where on earth their mother was, ana
counsel of anxiety was held MS 10
what could possibly have become OF
the vanished lady. The fathers propo
sition to make inquiries at the resi-
dence where his wife had taken tea
was vetoed by his daughters, who said
the young ladies must be asleep in
their beds, and his sanity would be
questioned should he arrive on such
an errand.
At 11.45-of a Sunday night-"noth-
er's" light football was heard on the
steps, and she hustled cheerfully In.
"Why, where are all the boys who
are usually here Sunday night?" she in
quired. "Didn't any of them calT'
She was assured that they had called.
"Well, was there any trouble? Did
any of them get mad that they left SO
early?" she continued, with a glance
ut her husband, who was not prone
to honor the Sunday evening gather
ings with his presence.
"Earlyv' her aghast family exclaimed
in chorus, "do You call ten minutes to

And mother" who had had real
good time, and thought it was about
9.45 o'clock. has not recovered yet

Kicked Time Two Centuries.

The residents of Tlalpam, Mex, com.
plain that the public clock Of that
town is useless; repairs are made
every week, but every week the clock
gets out of repair and can never be
kept in good condition. The Tlalpam
clock Is probably the oldest public
clock on the American continent. II
was originally installed as a cathedral
clock In the year 1867; In 1890 it was
donated to the council Of San AgustiD
de las Cleyas, near Tlalpam, when 1t
was installed there and set in motion.
Since that time it has never undergone
repairs until few weeks ago. The
clock, however, has told the time for
241 years and it is but natural that IT

When Jack Frost Comes to the Gity's Parks

Nor is it's distant relative, the phlox,
as hearty as it looks.
In fact, appearances are terribly de-
ceiving in plants as in humans. The
fragile violet that looks as if it would
perish if rude breeze touched it, de-
fies the weather man to do his worst,
but If the bold rhododendrom went one
winter without its straw overshoes it
would probably succumb to a severe
cold
But some of the trees as well as
plants and shrubs must be protected
Those that are not indigenous to Mime
sofa must be cared for until they be-
come acclimated. The original home
of many of these was in the South or
the Southeast, and although the ma
jority of them very quickly become ac-
customed to the severity Of Northern
winters, others require constant care.
The most delicate trees and shrubs are
planted in sheltered places, and 1t is
proof of Superintendent Nussbaumer's
knowledge and wisdom that few of
those experiments" prove unsuccess-
full. A wrapping of straw makes most
of them snug for the winter.
But out at Como park the gardeners
have not yet begun their work of car
ing for the trees and shrubs. 1t is
the "movables" that are now absorbing
the attention of the men. Como park
possesses large variety Of palms and
some of these are very valuable. The
palm is of the South, therefore it re-
quires almost the same temperature
the year round. There are some mon
strous palms at the park The Lam
tana, which grows in the southern
part of this country, and the seafor-
thia, which is a native of South Amer
lea, reach to the roof of the green
house which shelters them during the
winter season.
Section for Palms
One section of the Como park hot
house is reserved for the palms and al
ready this section is well filled up.
Because they are large and snowy
plants, their absence from the park is
quickly noted and the gaps" they have
left help to impress upon the Como
park visitor the fact that winter is APP
preaching.
Not until .tthe paint shop is erected
on the shores of Como will it be real
lied that summer is really gone. AS
the first robin seen at Como is sure
harbinger of spring, so "the paint
shop in the fall is the most unmis-
taxable sign of winter. This is erected
each year for the purpose of sheltering
the boats that are to be painted. Just
now these row boats are lined up, like
swans ready for fight, along the edge
Of the lake. But before the first of
November arrives each will have been
treated to a fresh coat of paint and to
a thorough overhauling, for not until
it has been so treated can its period OF
Information in the boathouse begin.
Next year there are to be some no
ticeable Improvements at Como. Most
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-10-09

important of all is of course the Jap
anese garden. Last week Supt Nuss-
banner left for st. Louis to consult
there with a famous Japanese land
scape gardener. Next summer, if there
are any Buddhists in st. Paul, they
may walk among miniature trees dis
torted into odd semblances of man and
beast and feel that here indeed is a
spot blessed by the great god A Bud
dhist temple, unfortunately, does not
enter into the present scheme of DIR.
Schiffmann and Supt Nussbaumer, and
perhaps it's just as we'll that it doesn't,
for pro-Japanese though Westerners
undoubtedly are, it is just as well, of
course, that the line should be drawn
at the temple. Nevertheless it would
seem that the Buddhist temple were
almost necessity to make the garden
seem a really, truly Japanese one.
Besides the Japanese garden, Nthere
will be a colonial garden which will
display the flowers that were grand
mothers pride, sweet william and
bachelors buttons, mignonette and
heartsease and all the others. =
But just now it is difficult to picture
these improvements at Como. One is
apt to wonder, instead, whether there
will be skating for Thanksgiving and
just how long, in this nipping weather,
the audacious pansy will be able to
keep its purple eyes open. The warm
ing room for skaters is always finished
before Thanksgiving though, as a
matter of fact, there is seldom skating
on that day. But skaters hope for the
best for Thanksgiving day, and to the
credit of the park board, be it said,
the warming room is always ready
whether the weather is or not.
Beautiful at all seasons, Como park
at this season of the year possesses a
peculiar charm and it is rather remark
able that it has so few visitors. The
denuded trees reveal great vistas of
exquisitely tinted landscape, and the
very fact that the park is practically
deserted, lends to it an added attrac-
ton. But it is given UP almost en-
tirely to gardeners and the workmen
and those birds that, en- route for the
South, linger for final au revoir.
