Defects Of the Japanese

An English merchant resident for
many years in China recently visited
Japan. He makes the following in
teresting comparison between the
natives of the two countries: "As a
nation cannot think that the Japa-
nese have the permanent staying
qualities of the Chinese. They are
physically inferior, and have the mis-
fortune to inhabit country Of active
volcanoes and frequent earthquakes,
whose terrors destroy or threaten.
Yeddo was wrecked and 100000 peo-
pie killed by an earthquake in 1855,
and you must remember the devasta-
tisn of the one in 1891. The average
rs 500 shocks, great and small, every
year. There have been two eruptions
and several shocks since I've been
here and the peerless mountain, Full
yama, sometimes gives threatening
signs and may suddenly spread wide
cast ruin. This dread of earthquakes
has restricted the architecture and
household arrangements Of the whole
country. 3.T fa#

servants The general testimony is
that Japanese are untruthworthy for
such positions and that native mer-
chants have not much commercial
honor Moral responsibility appears
to rest too lightly upon all OF his
class, which may be partly caused by
the facilities afforded by the numer-
Gus temples for the remission of sins.
A coin thrown into box, bell rung,
a devout attitude and short formal
prayer quickly brings the sinner into
favor again with his gods.
Making allowance for the small
stature of these people, their children.
especially the thousands of school
boys I've seen, appear puny and weak
and they are tame and girlish in their
sports The small size and frequent
hollow chests Of the men detract from
their appearance as, soldiers and po-
lice; physique and disposition will

ing our ideal Of soldier--a man Of

veloped. erect, smart and brisk. The

in a slouching way, their arms and
equipments appearing too heavy for

vivid and pathetic details of the death
Of Major carnegy during tho lien
shooting exploit in the Cir forest dis
trict. The major, of course. was the
political officer Of the viceroy, says
the London Pail Mall Gazette, and the
expedition had been arranged by Lord
Lamington on the site Of the lion hunt
prepared for Lord Curzon five years
ago, but never fulfilled. It is believed
there are sixty or seventy linons in
the Cir, and the major, having spent
the last couple Of years in the vicini-
ty, knew the Junagadh better than
any one.
On March 9 a tracker arrived Who
had been attacked by lion while fids
ing into camp, and while he dropped
his weapons and escaped it was only
by abandoning his pony and seeing
the animal carried off. ~
The shoot was divided into three
parties with the major in the second,
and it entered the jungle to a depth Of
about ten miles. The major and his
two friends, Mr.. du yBoulay and Capt.
Foljambe, selected a tree, each rang
ing along a nullah, and the two latter
fired at fine Hon. wounding him high
