JAPAN's CONSTITUTION DIFFERS.
Wherein 1t Departs From Those o.
Occidental Nations.

There is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western
nations and that of Japan. The form
-er are the outcome of popular upris
ings against the tyranny of rulers-in
other words, of demand as of natur-
al right, by the people. Consequently,
even in monarchical Europe, consti-
buttons are drawn in such terms as to
lay the greatest stress upon popular
rights, while at the same time cur
failing the power of the sovereign.
The Japanese constitution, on the
other hand, emanated from the empeI
or, the fountain head of all power
Before the people dreamed of popular
rights or of parliament the emperor
had already marked out the grand
policy of establishing constitutional
government in the future, because OF
his evident desire and purpose to ele-
vate the country to an equal place
among the civilized nations OF the
world, not only because he wished it,
but because that course was in strict
accordance with the national policy
beqTeathed by his ancestors.
Following that policy the Japanese
constitution was drawn up with close
adherence to and careful preservation
of the fundamental principle of the
imperial government from time i'm
memorial.
In form, however, it is similar to
western constitutions, with the differ
'ence-that the text of our constitu-
ton contains only the fundamental
principles of state-namely, the pre-
negatives of the emperor; the rights

Once there was a well-to-do man
who was trying to read his Sunday pa

Italian with hand organ was playing,
"Under the Bamboo Tree" much to the
disgust of the man inside Finally the
well-to-do-man gave the Italian quar-

THtBET HAS QUEER MYTHS.
Origin and Constitution Of Sun, Moon
and Stars Oddly Explained.

Origin and Constitution Of Sun, Moon
and Stars Oddly Explained.
The Thibetans have numberless
strange myths, one the most curious.
pertaining to the sun, moon and stars
The sun is believed to be an immense
ball of yak-meat and fat, wherein the
spirits of departed ancestors are sup
posed to feast, the light being caused
by it's heated condition.
The stars are portions of this i'm
mense feast, which, dropping to earth,
gives birth to animals for the sus-
tenance of suffering humanity. The
moon is a lesser ball of similar tex
ture as the sun, in use while the larger
one is being replenished for the NOR
row. When sun or moon fails to ap-
pear in cloudy days and nights it
means that the deities are undergoing
a period Of fasting and religious abne-
cation.
And the parched and sterile condi.
ton of bleak regions is ascribed to the
fact that many thousand years ago the
sun ball slipped from the hands of its
keepers, descended too near the earth
and, before being recaptured, scorched
those parts with which it came in con.
tact.

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.

st. Joseph (Mo) News.-William W.
Murphy, a locomotive engineer on the
BUrlington's fast express between Han
Tibal and ST. Joseph, has been max
ing observations on the speed of varl-
Gus birds and insects. Many birds
he says, make practice of flying be-
side or in front of his engine, and
when the weather is clear and there
is no wind he opens the throttle and
races with them. He finds that d
chicken hawk and crow can make
25 miles an hour. A turkey buZzard
flies at the rate of 81 miles an hour.
The pigeon is one of the fastest birds
III the United States. 1t makes a
speed of 46 mile; an hour with ease.
When chased by an eagle it can beat
the Burlington's St. Louis express.
The wild duck is travelling at the rate
of A miles an hour while the hunter
is pumping the contents of repeat
ing gun at it. The blackbird, robin
dove and other small birds travel at
a speed of SO miles an hour. The
hTmming bird can, and does, excel Q
speed of a mile a minute. Murphy
says that a honey bee, the other day
flew in and out of his cab windC "
while he was going at the rate Of g.
miles an hour The performance las
ed while the engine travelled a hall

Susan 3. Anthony's Heroic Cure.

If there was ever any fad in thera-
peutics to which Miss Anthony gave
attention, it was the water-cure. She
has the highest regard for the virtues
of cold water as a remedial measure.
Many years ago, when once she was
lecturing in Plattsburg, New York, she
happened to get her feet frost-bitten.
She put them under a faucet in the
kitchen to thaw out, which was sue
cessfully accomplished, but the next
morning she awoke with a frightful
pain in her back. She could scarcely
get out of bed but she insisted on
keeping her lecture engagement that
night. The next day, although she
had to be carried to the sleigh, she
drove seventeen miles with her knees
doubled up to her chin, and lectured
that night. Rising at four the next
morning, she rode ten miles by stage,
and then went by train to Watertown.
At that city she engaged a room at a
hotel, and took her case in hand. She
instituted measures, that, to say the
least, may be strenuous. She called
for several buckets of ice-water, which
she had maid pour deliberately over
her back. Then she wrapped up in
hot blankets and went to bed. The
next morning she awoke a we'll wo-
man.-Woman's Home Companion.

and love.
Hachiman never fights merely to-
satiate his thirst for blood. He fights
battles for peace. He never makes
sacrifices of lives SO that he may
glory over the conquered. He is
great enemy of tyrants and Cypress
ors. He is ever ready to help those
who are oppressed and prosecuted.
He fights wars of Justice. He wishes
to see justice done en- all sides. His
banners bear inscriptions conveying
the thought of righteousness and JUS

Miserable will be the fate OF any
who venture to violate the peace and
welfare Of the world. for Hachiman in
his righteous wrath will crush down

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN GERMANY

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN GERMANY.
English is to be in future an optional
subject in all the public schools in
Germany. This result has largely
been brought about by petition ad-
dressed by the Dresden school masters
association to the government school
inspector, the following declarations
being favorably received:
First-English is the most widely
used civilized language in the world.
Second-It is the most important Ian
guage for Germany's international
trade relations. In Dresden especially
the knowledge of English is OF great
advantage to shopkeepers and COM
mercial men, owing to the important
Anglo-American colony there.
Third-English deserves preference
over French on account Of it's litera-
ture, which (a) excels that of France
both from the artistic and moral point
of view; OBJ appeals more nearly to
our sentiment and understanding as
that of Germanic people; (c) has
played a prominent part in the de-
velopment of our own literature.
Fourth-English is not inferior to
French in educative value.
Fifth-In the teaching Of English
the readily learned grammatical forms
of the language enable the time allot-
ted to it's study to be spent in attaining
the most important object in teaching
a foreign language-the power of its
free use in speech and writing. This
is not possible in the case Of French,
owing to the difficulty of it's grammar.
By a new law politics cannot be dis.

Oh, what fool were |
To fret the Lord with prayers
For wealth to raise me high,
For gold with which to bury
Release from worldly cares,
If l may only, when
The fields are gemmed with dew,
When mist lies in the glen,
Go forth and know that through
The busy day my heart
Shall harbor hope, that night
Shall find that I, in spite
Of every bruise and smart,
Have bravely done my part.
