phones as well. Osaka is the only city which has thus far attempted to
build and operate street railroads under governing auspices, and it is
having a struggle to accomplish the task.
But private ownership elsewhere has not worked so well as to make
the public conented with it. And this is most noticeable in Toxic, where
in September there was a riot over an increase in fare of one sen, which
is one-half cent Of our money.
These Toxic tram lines ire the most important in Japan both in
point Of traffic and in dividends. Like all the tram lines in the country,
they are electric and use the double trolley to save water and other pipes
in the streets from eectrolyss.
They use small cars as compared with ours, and their cars are not
commodious, and are rough in finish. They appear to have been modelled
after our old-style village cars, and made plain to save expense.
But, for all their smalness and plainness, they are servceabe and are
extremely we'll patroniud. They carried more than 100000 pnsen-
gers last year, and averaged more than nine per cent. dividends, notwHh-
standing the fact that their fare was only three sen, which is one cent
and onehalf of our money.
What is more, they had the stipulation fixed in their charter that
this fare could be further reduced by the government authorities should
public interest SO require. This low fare is not peculiar to Toxic. 1t is
general in Japan. So that the threecent (equal to six SEM are proposed
by the mayor beforehand, Tom L. Johnson, for our street railroads, may,
by the japanese experience, be seen to be rational and conservative, instead
of unreasonable and fadcaly impossible.

You must wade knee deep through
cherry tokens to reach the old On
servatory, with the quaint, rambling
servants quarters tucked away under
the caves on each side, while sloping
roofs and whitewashed walls remind
one somehow of Bobbie Burns.
1t is curious how the American trav.
eler prefers to pilfer his historic
treasures rather than to pay a trife
for them. The old gardener thinks
this Is the case, and it is only by the
greatest vigilance that he has for so
many years preserved the historic ont.

and laid off by Washington. Again,
Mrs. Letters generosity and fine iudg.
ment are shown, for she Is chairman
of the committee on grounds and
shrubs, as well as interested in the
garden and greenhouse. Many a rare
plant finds its way to Mount Vernon
through her efforts. The gardens are
maintained at an expense of over
81 600, but between $500 and $500 or
this amount Is realized from the sale
Of plants. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst is a
model farmer, and spends her money

Here In the banquet room, on the
spot where Lafayette, Rochambeau,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and
the Artists Houdon, Peale and Trum-
bull, besides many great revolutionary
generals, dined, the women hold their
executive sessions. The beautiful
silver mounted mirror that adorned
Washington's banquet board Is re-

of the progress that saved the old

Ninety-Nine Year Leases.

Ninety-nine year leases are said to
have had their origin in England. In
Queen Elizabeth's time a law vas
made prohibiting property owners
from renting their ground or buildings
for a longer period than 100 years,
and thereafter the 80 year lease be-
came popular. At one time there was
a statute in the Illinois code by which
the length Of a lease was limited, but
this later was declared unconstitu-
tional.

the craze for alcoholic drink. And he will always act in response to that
touch OF explosive intensity" as Prof. James has described it-that sug-
gestonal force which awakens philosophical activities and subordinats
the lower tendencies of the carnal nature-when impaired by a pure

operates with the courage of his convictions.
by means Of the enlightened employment of hypno-suggeston the
sublmlnal self may be brought into active control. 1t happens to be a
psychological fact that in a state of sleep either natural or induced by an
intelligent physician through ordinary hypnotcs, a human being is sug-
geshble-that is, amenaHe to the insnuation of a belief, impulse or
thought which may dominate the waking life.
The technic adopted involves the arrest of the visual attention by
some brilliant object, the concurrent establishment of the patients conf
