Sit In The gallery Of the lower hauss
Of the japanese national parliament
and observe thence the new force that
civilization and education have loosed
upon the rest Of the world
The chamber Is about as large as the
house Of representatives, at Washing
ton, comfortable, convenient and plan
ned for business. The members sit at
desks facing the speakers high dais
midway OF the long side Of the room.
Ten or twelve members wear the al

will notice first Of all that these men
do not sleep, like members Of the Brit

act at the desks their private business,
like the REPRESENTATIVES at Washing
ton. They listen to every word OF ev-
cry speech. They are liberal Of ap-
plause and dissent Everything that In
said seems to mean something to them.
There are no long, dreary harangues
and no permission to print In the Rec

mount a rostrum just below and in
front Of the presiding officer. Their
speeches are. short, sharp. direct and
full Of point. Often they are witty and

mite impression of power-quiet, self
suficing. conscious power-but beyond
