Traits Of the japanese

In more Queer Things About Jap
an Douglas Sladen says: perhaps
one of the severest of etiquettes in
Japan is that of smiles. When you
have lived in that land of smiles you
will learn in time that when you can
understand Japanese smile you may
hope to understand the people. A
daughter-in-law must always present a
smiling face to her mother-in-law; the
servant must smile when his mistress
dismisses him. But the news of death
must be told with laughter. Laughter
is reserved for very special occasions
and has no relation to joy; smiles are
used on every occasion to conceal real
feelings; they are not always sig
nificant of pleasure. =.

live on rice or offal of the sea; and he
is SO accustomed to carrying heavy
weights and running long distances
that he can be his own commissariat
and even his own horse. AS England
turned it's foot soldiers into mounted
infantry, so the Japanese can turn
their riksha boys, of whom there are
$4,000 in Tokyo alone, into unmounted
cavalry. Their courage is wonderful
The Japanese does not fear death in
any form"
If the Japanese are somewhat lax
as regards their religion, they are at
any rate believers in cleanliness. The
writer says: personal cleanliness is
virtue which all Japanese servants
possess. 1t is no unusual thing for
Japanese servant to apologize to a
mistress for not having had time to
battle more than three times that

Hard by our inland ocean,
Far from Chicago's roar.
You watch with keen emotion
The waves curl on the shore:
You see the white sails flying,
Soft as sweet summer signing,
You hear the sea gulls crying
To drown the wild uproar
No silvery stars to tighten
The gloom that cloaks the night,
No gracious moon to brighten
Or clothe with radiant light.
Wan, weary winds are waging
A whimpering war, and raging,
AS if in strife assuag1ng
Their Zest for strenuous fight.
Here every tire is shaken
With fitful gusts of rain,
Weird, wailing winds will waken,
TO sigh and sob in pain.
The water roars and Misses
Foaming spray from foul abysses,
And Stlngs like sterile kisses,
That scar the soul and stain.
IN this tempestuous weather
No bird takes heart to sing,
But budding close together,
They brood on jOcund spring.
When the sun sheds azure showers
TO revive fond frozen flowers,
TO bloom in beauty's bowers,
Where ripping rhyme will ring.
The sea spray. hercely splashing,
Drenches all the brooding air,
Big white caps-Titans crashing
Their kinglv RAPTURE share
The black horizons we7rdly cleaning
No refulgent moon is beaming,
The drowsy dawn sits dreaming
Chaste vcstal in her lair.

Here foam fringed waves are crawlins
Like creeping things to die,
While rude and rough and brawling ,~
The storm rules in the sky.
The waves must first deliver
Their full tribute, as the river,
Which with delight will CULVER,
And with despair will die.
Big brooding clouds are drifting
TO choke blonde haggard moon,
AS her ivory arms uplifting,
Prays for life's gracious boon.
Shy baby stars are peeping,
Like rosy toddlers creeping,
Rubbing dewy eyes from sleeping
In balmy air of June.
The lightning rips asunder
The inlky cloak Of hight,
While growls the jovial thunder
Exulting in his might.
And sulks in caves disdaining,
AS from the strife refraining.
AS sick Of stress and straining,
Afar in fierce delight.
share the lordly rapture
That surges through the gale;
That fierce delight I capture
Which makes the weakling quail
Outside the rich mans palace,
I quaf nights trimming chalice,
sip the winds wild malice,
I hear his dying wall!
Inland the town is quiet,
AS sWathed in soothing sleep,
No fierce tumuAt or riot
AS we our vigils keep.
Bound by the spells Of slumber
We bow our heads and number
The hours sweet dreams will cumber
Ere dawn broods Ger the deep.

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Bangor, Me, May 30.-Open warfare has
broken out between the Canadian and Ameri-
can lumbernen along the st. John River on the
northern boundary Of Maine. Strained relations
arising from efforts by the Canadians to prohibit
the Americans from using sheer booms in the
river on the ground Of obstruction 10 navigation
and violation of the Ashburton treaty eliminated
Sunday, when L. ". Bond, Canadian log driv-
ing contractor, acting, he said. under instruc-
tions, blew out a section of the Van Buren
I1lnleT Ccmpany's boom on the Canadian side
near Van Buren, went through with several bat
teaux and proceeded UP the river toward the
mouth of the Grand River. where another sheer
boom is hung.
In the mean time the Van Buren, people were
informed the mills shut down and a
small army, with weapons OF all kinds, tnclud-
ing a number of repeating rifles. was mobilized
at the Grand River boom. When the Canadians
came up the river they appeared overawed at
the show of force and dropped back for short
distance and later retreated down the river
with threats that they would clear the river of
all booms.
The action has created intense excitement
along the St John Valley. The American lumber
men are placing armed guards at all their
boous on duty day and night Serious results
are feared II the Canadians make any further
attacks. Application for mandatory injunction
TO prohibit the use of sheer boOms has been
made and is pending. The Americans de-
clare that such bOoms are in no way obstruc-
tionS to navigation.
