This, however, is only single ramifcation of
moral or ethical code which represents the very
soul OF the nation, and which will be astounding to
many readers. The ideal of any people represents
the heart OF the people the basis of public opinion,
the goal toward which progress Is making its way.
Our own IS the Christian ideal Christ upon Calvary,
the ideal of loving one another, of bearing
others burdens To properly appreciate the
brldgeble ChaSm that lies between and the Japan

None the less are they idolatOrs in the broadest
sense. The pagan temples crown every height
and adorn every highway. To craven images on
holy shrnes are brought all the cares, troubles

Sans hre-gods in blazing flames the Seven Pre-

the Gods who control the national heart and direct

1t thus may be understood that their virtues are
not virtues their ways are not our ways
1t therefore becomes not only interesting but
highly important to inquire what ethical or moral
teachings come from these altars what principles
of conduct, what ideas of duty necessarily must
guide them in their view of ourselves and their
future dealings with ourselves. And by way of
preface a word two must be said to their
most salient characteristic the quality which every
person has had impressed upon him who ever has
had any dealings with a Japanese. This is the
quality which invariably accompanies quick in
telligence and low cunning. viz that generalization
of oneself which we call conceit and arrogance.

ITO account Conscience" This ac.
count was opened by the United
states government In 1911. It would
hot be fair to infer from this fact
that the American conscience had its
awakening at SO late a date in the
country's history, but that year Wit
messed the first return to the govern
ment. as the result Of the "still small
voice" Of money Of which It had been
defrauded some time before. Presi-
dent Madison found on his desk one
morning an unsigned letter In which
the writer confessed to defrauding the
government Of two dollars. for which
his conscience had made him suffer
sorely- This amount was enclosed
with the request that It be turned into
the national treasury, the writer ex.
pressing the hope that this full resti-
tuition and repentance would restore a
clear and easy conscience.
Up to date the amount received
from those who have defrauded the
government and become conscience
stricken is $500 O0O0.-4Amerlca illus.

Formal Dinner.

FORMAL DiHneF
With the Russians Of the higher
class living Is an elaborate function.
When you are invited to dine with a
nobleman you first stroll to side
board whereon are anchovies, smoked
salmon, pickles, sardines, radishes,
cold sausage, caviar and olives.
The guests eat freely of these and
wash them down with fiery vodka,
taking about an hour to do it amid
animated conversation.
Some Of the appetizers you would
like. Salmon in jelly, for instance, is
not bad But salmon in eustard is a
little too much for the average Yam
kee stomach.
The company takes seats at the ta-
BILE and the real business Of the din
ner begins. First, there is a great
thick soup. Next comes a huge pike
or salmon. cooked to perfection and
stuffed with cracked wheat.
After fish comes on huge loin Of
roast pork, or maybe veal; sometimes
beef, but not generally it is
pork cooked in mysterious way
which has added all sorts of strange
and pronounced f1ayors to it.
Roast or boiled fowl is the next
course, and with it come picked cau-
lifower, gherkins and vegetables.
Then comes a cold pie of meat, fish
and vegetables. This is cut into
slices and served with mustard dres-
ing. After this, you will, if you have
survived SO far, be expected to toy
with a peculiar Russian salad, and to
end up with a rich desert and black
coffee.
After a Russian dinner one can say
