A PECULIAR INSTITUTION.

Japan has a constitutional govern
ment, modelled In many particulars aft
er the modern patterns, But It's mnis-
try does not appear to have any real
power. except IN times OF peace and
tranquility. Whenever a crisis arises,
the ministers are unceremoniously
pushed aside and the emperor becomes
sovereign with unlimited power ana
authority, and he calls to his assistance
council consisting Of trusted men,
known to the western world as the
"elder statesmen"
The members OF this council vary I'm
numbers according to the win Of the
Mlkado. They are men OF different po-
ltlcal parties, who have engaged IN Bit
ter rlvalries In parliament and turned
one another out Of power not once or
twice, but many times. Most OF them
have held the position Of prime minis.
ter and attained the highest dIgnites
which the mikado can bestow. Whom
called 10 act as elder statesmen" their
riyalries are over, their partisan labors
are ended, and they confer together in
perfect harmony and direct the policy
OF the nation without regard to tbs
cabinet and parliament
Among the "elder statesmen who
have been prominent in the affairs Of
the nation during this war are Mar.
uuis Ito, Count Matsukata, Field Mar
shall Marquis Yamagata. Count Inouya
and Field Marshal Oyama. Other men
are sometimes called into conference
with them such as Baron Komura, the
foreign ministers Field Marsha Kat
sura, the premier and prominent OH
GERS OF the army and navy Ike Admiral
Togo, Admiral Kabayama and General
Kodrama.
II should be noted, in passing, that
Marquis Ito and Count Inouye at one
time were enthusiastic agitators FOR tho
exclusion Of foreigners from Japan.

AS TO TAINTED" MONEY.

A rather curious discussion has aris-
en- concerning Mr. Rockefeller's prince
ly donations for benevolent purposes.
Congregational ministers are protest.
ing against the acceptanoe, by mis-
slonary board Of 800 OoO offered by the
gentleman for the conversion OF pa
gans The protestants evidently do not
consider the money honestly earned,
and they do not. we presume. believe IN
stealing q goose and donating the en-
trails to the Lord as The late Mr.. c, ".
Sturgeon used to characterize a certain
kind 81 benevolence.
II Il urged by these professionals that
a missionary society cannot consistent
ly accent money from business con-
Germ which Is under suspicion OF EN-
ploying methods morally inlqultous
and socially destructive. because the ac-
ceptance Implies the ignoring OF moral
issues involved" The ministers claim
that the spirit OF protest Is widespread
among their people, and cannot be ig-
nored IN tho conduct OF the missions in
lands TO which the contributors in this
country must be honorable patterns for
the shaping OF the lives OF people con-
verted to the better way
This, certainly, appears TO be an IDEAL
platform. But can that principle be APP
piled In every case? Can a missionary
board always know whether an offered
donation ls tainted" or not2 Are they

The papers which publish the I'M

the State provide against such instruc-

Left-Handed Artists.

To that list of left-handed artists
may be added Mr.. F. H. Townsend
the deft draughtsman in black and
white, who has lately become art ed
itor of Punch. But Mr.. Townsend is
one of the "semi-left-handed." And OF
these there are more than you might
suppose. Many of us, on watching
ourselves, will find that on this or that
occasion we use the left hand when
the right would be expected. Mr.
Townsend draws with his left hand
but he deals cards with his right. This
writer, being in all other respects
rigbt-handed, deals cards with the
left. The real quality between the
hands would probably be established
from many experiences-Londor

money in his pocket. He had drawn
back pay and allowance for clothing
