JAPANESE DEATH SPIRIT.
TO the Soldiers of the Mikado No Dis
honor Is Greater Than
Failure

Within the human frame is power
that passes the understandings of boast
ed scientists of the twentieth century,
and the supreme ideal of the Nippon
samurai. the yamato damashi, is a
spark that does often wake that power,
mysterious, unknown nevertheless real,
writes Adachi Kinnosuke, in Leslie's
Monthly. The Nippon soldier dies when
his life is under the cloud of dishonor,
as he sees it. In your way of looking at
things you might be superior enough
TO say TO him: Dear fellow, you are
mistaken; there is no dishonor in being
prisoners of war" And you might be
sight. Permit me to remind you of one
solid, historic act-your genial and
good-natured attitude toward life has
never yet produced men of whom, as the
circular of the 18th of April, in Gen
kuroki's camps, has it, is expected the
accomplishment of the impossible.
Moreover, to the samurai this life is
nothing; fulfilling duty to his own
country and TO the emperor is every
thing No dishonor is greater to a
samurai than the failure in accomplish
ing his work. in the discharge of his
duty toward his country. In the code
Of the samurai honor 1t is written that
none would survive dishonor.

IT'S A MODERN MIRACLE.
Hat On in the Windiest
Weather.

There are three things l have never
get been able to clearly understand,
syas a writer in the London Graphic.
The first is how train keeps on the
rails; the second how a well-staircase
endures so long without perpetually
eollapsing; and the third, which is the
most difficult to comprehend of any,
how a coachman manages to keep his
hat on.
In the stormiest weather-when
most hats are taking flight-when it is
blowing fiercely and raining vindic-
lively, you may see coachman driv-
ing pair of spirited horses and both
hands so occupied that they could not
touch the brim of his topper, and yet
he never loses it.
How is this? Does he use some adj
hesiye composition to make it fast TO
ais head, has he an invisible string
fastened under his chin, has he some
extraordinary method of developing his
occipito frontalis so as to render 1t
equal to the occasion, or does he follow
the example of the fair sex and run a
hatpin through his back hair?
am sure | cannot tell how this may
be. All | know is that in the midst of
q binding deluge and a terrific hurri-
cane you will find his hat securely
planted on the top of his head as If 1t
grew there.
