LIonr like. Lavender Water.

The old theory Of animal liking for
scents denied them any share In such
pleasures unless they suggested the
presence on their food or prey. But
such reason can hardly be alleged for
a lions liking for lavender water. The
writer, wishing to test for himself the
reported fondness of many animals for
perfumes. paid series OF visits to the
geological garden provided with bottles
of scent and q packet Of cotton wool
and there tried some harmless expert
ments which apparently gave great
satisfaction to many OF the inhabitants.
Lavender water was the favorite scent,
and most Of the lions and leOpards
showed unqualified pleasure when the
scent was poured ON the wool and put
into their cages.-SpoctatOr.

Neral Doctrines OF the snmurai Thas
Rule Ia Japan.

Neral Doctrines OF the snmurni Thaa
Ruic Ia Japan.
"The bushido" means "the moral doc
trines or the samurai." and they are
obeyed by all the statesmen, soldiers
and scholars Of Japan Of the present
time with RS much holy respect as the
Christians reverence for the Bible
and its teachings. In Japan Buddhism
is the popular religion, but Buddhist
teachings are not respected by educat-
ed men or soldiers. IN fact. most OF
them nre atheists or agnOstics, who
do not believe in any religion but the
doctrines of "the bushido."
The bushido." for instance, teaches
a man or woman to have the courage to
perform the hara kiri II ne or she COM
mits serious offense. The spirit Of
this doctrine is that the offender should
kill himself instead Of waiting to be
executed by the law which latter il
considered in Japan as one Of the most
cowardly thing The bushido' also
teaches that the life of Japanese is
gift Of the holy mikado, and If the
country needs the lives of her people
they should be given gladly, for that
is only to return to the mikado what
they have received from him.
TO die on the battlefield is the only
key for a Japanese to find his way to
his Shinto heaven, and the soldiers
who were not killed on the battlefield
are considered unfortunate. 1t is main
tanned in Japan that IL a man gives
you favor or money or pleasure you
should return 1t with more than what
was given to you.-Hydesaburo ohashi
