 Aaa 1ssi'ps striking Feature in the Japanese
 character is M shsir intense ,sn M ameitson; I to rise, to succeedi not to go below or get behind anybody. This feeling per- vades all classes. and must be regard last last iifty years. seif-sufficiency and self-reliance are also prominent char; powers of imitation and acquisition. Japs Lack Edealfsnss
 The Japanese. however, are lacking spect renders the life of even the most mechanical affair, when compared with also in morality. veracity and honesty ardent love for his country. The man who is willing to desert his parents. wife and children for his sovereign, re- ceives unstinted praise, and most hon. orable recognition. He regards life less than nothing when duty demands peror by seif.renunciafion' and the the sac sac rifice of his property.
 While this conduct is beautiful to tSis general anS wanton he ppna ssew sc family ties has sown the dragons teeth n the soil of Japan. and the yield has been an abundant harveet of vice and crime on rock and in plain. on>fiilI and in dale; such as woman's shame. the sale of the daughter and sister to the shambles of infamy resulting yearly in cides. The coming of the Perry treaty ships in the year 1853 was God-send
 to this land of the rising sun--the most the empire of perpetual green"
 The Japanese think differently from the Europeans. Their mental machin-
 of different sort of factory. and put together on different principles of con struction. In business transactions and, in return. the foreigner regards the native as rogue That contract should be enforced from any conception of justice is proposition so purely abnormal that Japanese mind cannot comprehend it. Any abstract notion of right that produces concrete discom- fort ana consequential unhappineSa Is a thing he cannot approve. and will not sanction. That man should do a I thing merely because he contracted to l do so. the doing Of which would cause himself inconvenience ar entail loss, Is | not in the Japanese code.
 ChIRks Are Honest
 The Chinese. on the other hard. in ! business transactions are absolutely 1 honest. The Hong oKng and Shanghai banking corporation managers put the Celestials at the very ton Of those who are trustworthy. Tn Shanghai banks 1 the Chinese business done in the past thirty years has amounted. nroximate- 1 ly. to two billion dollars; and there has never been dedication. Not sim
 gle Chinanan has ever failed to meet
 every term and stipulation Of his con-
 tract. To he dishonest Is the worst
 disgrace that can overwbelm q China man. It means for him the everlasting disapproval of his ancestors: disbar- r1ent from heaven; lost spirit con demned to fly forever from star to star. from planet to planet. throughout the countless ages Of eternity.
 On the contrary. the Japanese. In money matters, do not trust them selves. Whenever a person has occa-. sion to call at a counting house, a manufacturing establishment. a bank, store or hotel In Kobe. Yokohama. Nagasakl. Tokio. Osaka. Kioto. or any other large cities in Japan. he will oD- serve that the man who handles the cash. whether called cashier, paying teller, treasurer. accountant or what not, Is a alonE-uueued Celestial In 1ow-
