Just now, while the military proves
and general staying power OF the Jap
anese are claiming the attention and
respect of the civilized world. IL Is OF
great interest TO note the Gains made,
by those who know best. as their ad-
vanced attitude toward the whole ques-
ton of hygiene and physical develop
ment We of the West are all too apt
TO take II for granted that we stand
in the advanced guard OF all evolution,
and II has become the custom OF late
years 10 enlighten the laity by word
and pen on their duty TO their ply
siques. Health is the fashion. and its
rules are published broadcast. Now
we are told that In Japan health is
not only the fashion-but the universal
habit The Japanese people not only
know the rules that govern Il. but all
classes untirlngly practice them.
They are the same old ru.cs-we have
them all at our tongues cnds-breathe
deeply and slowly OF fresh air. battle
regularly, eat moderately. drink plenty
of fresh water We all knew them. we
all respect them. but most OF us ig.
more them. except by fits and starts.
With the japanese the ease Is differ
emit They are naturally an abstemlous
people and are not great meat-rnters.
They have always laid great stress on
the value of large quantities of pure
water to flush the system and keep the
kidneys in good condition. and they
are probably the most lnveterate bath
ers In the world. AS to their muscular
development and control. they are IA
nous, and last but not least. they
place great weight on the importance
of cultivating and practising all the
time the fundamental principles of hy-
| giene.
They are to-day pitted against huge
and powerful nation, and are winning
victory after victory over their adj
versaries, not because they outnum-
Der them, not because they are bigger
but largely because their bodies are
trained TO endurance and their minds
to patience and foresight.
The Western nations are beginning
TO learn the lesson they teach-to prac-
tice with patient persistence those
laws Of health that have been taught
so often. The jiu-jitsu, the system OF
body training practlced by the Jap
anese for centuries. Is the foundation
OF many modern treaties on physical

investigating the question as TO the
hour in summer when the commonest
small birds wake up and begin to sing.
says that the greeninch is the earliest
riser, as 1t sings about 100 o'clock In
the morning. The blackcap begins at
$50, and the quail half an hour later.
1t is nearly o'clock. and the sun is
well up. before the first real songster
appears-the merry blackbird. Then
comes the thrush, followed by the
robin and the wren, and last. the house
