MAKING JAPANESE GARDEN.
Nature, Taste of Artist, Personality
of Owner, All Taken Into
Consideration.

Many wise man from abroad has
said of the pictorial artists, as well
as of the masters of landscape garden
ing in Nippon, that the one master to
whom they go for lessons and guild
ance is nature. They are wrong as
critics in general, and the imported
ones in particular are apt to be, writes
Adachi Kinnosuke, in Country Calen-
dar.
The landscape gardener in Nippon,
like all our artists, serves two mas
ters-nature and his own personality.
With us the mere copy Of nature is lit
tie better than a caricature Of good
and great thing; natural scenery
should be seen and appreciated in its
original state as the gods had left it
on the canvas of their own choosing,
on the same ground that you should
never see a counterfeit Of a master
piece Of painting.
Nature plus the man is the beginning
of art in Nippon. Sometimes the land
scape gardener in Nippon is called
upon to serve three masters. Added to
the fidelity of nature and the play of
his individual taste, he is called upon
to take serious thought unto the per-
sonality of the owner Of the garden.
And perhaps that is the reason why
the art Of landscape gardening is con-
sidered, with us as one of the most
difficult Of fine arts. A mans garden,
like his dress and his library, must
first be mirror of his personality.
The tale it would tell when the
friends Of its master came to see it
must be about the master himself
it must tell this story not only in the
terms Of art, but so plainly, too, that
the guest, looking at the garden and
pleased with the beauty thereof. would
only see in what pleasing terms its
author has interpreted its masters
personality through it all The chief
thing which a good garden ought to
show to the eyes of men ought to be
the man and not the garden itself.

PRAISES CHINESE SAILORS.
Shipmaster Who Has Tried Them
Says They Work Hard and
Never Complain.

Chinese sailors have not heretofore
been highly regarded as rule, but q
shlpmaster who has made a tour OF
the world and recently landed in Bos-
ton is authority for the statement that
Cnlnamen make the best of sailors
states the New York Sun. He had
| command of crew of AZ officers and
men, CT whom "a were Chinese. IN
speaking of his crew he said:
i left New York in December for
Australia and New Zealand ports with
| crew OF Americans and Englishman.
l mad no more than got out of the har-
Dor before there was trouble, and it
lasted all the time we were at sea,
and when we got into a port the men
got drunk.
This has been my experience with
crews for years, but determined to
make change. l had seen ships with
Chinese sailors and heard the captains
tell of their good qualities, and finally
l determined to try them.
AT Singapore / fired my New York
crew and replaced it with Chinese. l
ors to their home ports and was glad
to get rid of them. Since that day
the experience of myself and my fell
low officers has been a glorious one.
The continuous grumbling and kick
ing has ceased.
"The Cinnamon work hard and
? never murmur. They are a quiet, or
der-loving crowd, and a better lot of
sailors never walked the decks.
1.-The time will come when they will
be found on every ship. When they
reach port they do not rush ashore
and get drunk and then come aboard
and begin to abuse every one"
The Cinnamon are satisfied to take
a short shore leave only. They do not
quarrel, they do not drink to excess.
They are placid and docile and are not
inclined to mutiny.
American captains on foreign voy-
ages are, from present Indications
likely to have much to do with Chi
nese sailors in the future. The mari
time business of the Philippines is
largely in the hands of Chinese mer-
sailors in Philippine ports come from
Hong-Kong.
There is large Chinese population
In Hawaii, too, and many sailors
shipped in Hawaii for voyages to
America are Cinnamon.
Though Englishmen and Scotchmen
are excellent sailors it was found
some years ago desirable for English
shipowners to secure for tropical or
semi-tropical voyages men less easily |
affected by intense heat and East In
dian or Lascar sailors have been found |
to fulfill this requirement. In much !
the same way it is predicted that Chi |
nese sailors will become popular as
seamen for American ships on voyages
south of the line.

ANALYZED STATEMENT

In another column will be found
the last regular statement of the
First National Bank, analysed and
explained so as to be easily under
stood. This enables those of US who
are not familiar with bank terms, to
get better understanding of such
matters. The new cashier, Mr.. Pease,
is receiving the hearty support of the
directors in his efforts to make the
bank in every sense "a bank for all
the people," and this analysed state
ment is only one of the means used to
make everybody understand the man
ner of doing business and to remove
any feeling of mystery there may be
connected with it.
The Savings department., recently
added, places the bank in a position
to take care of all classes and ages of
customers, and the man or woman
with small account is assured the
same attention as the millionaire.
