Japanese trains are small and slow,
and seem not to think 1t necessary
ever to be on time. Smoking is al.
lowed in every class, even in the
sleeping cars.
For my sins / travelled one night In
one of these Japanese sleeping cars,
and It will always stand out In my
memory as one OF the most uncom-
Portable l ever passed. The cars are
divided into compartments, two long
leather seats facing each other, run
ming across the car. The backs Of
these seats lift up and, propped BY
poles, make four berths altogether.
The bedding IL clean and sufficient,
but there are no springs in the beds,
absolutely no privacy, and one tiny
window for the whole compartment,
public opinion being usually divided
as TO whether It shall be opened or
closed.
This reminds me Of O story my
friend, Col. Cody C'Buffalo Bill'') used
to tell. He said that once upon q time
an Englishman who had never been
IN the west before was his guest They
were riding through q Rock Mountain
canyon one day, when suddenly a ire
tnendous gust of wind came swooping
down upon them, and actually carried
the Engiishman clear on the wagon
seat. AFTER he had been picked mp. ne
combed the sand and gravel out Of bis

My berth was over the wheels. and
this, together with 4 roadbed OF which
q coal railroad In Pennsylvania would
be ashamed. produced such jolts and
bumps that my brain felt as though II
had been through an egg-beater. The
compartment was full, one occupant
being a German army officer, who. be-
side being In full uniform. even to
enormous fur-lined overcoat, sword
and spurs. brought In to choke the
little available space a satchel, a
large fiat wicker hamper and pack

trious and far.reaching snore with
him.
The third occupant being a travel

these was to occupy the berth over

that It was we'll propped up.
was rather relieved to find II was
to be the soldier, for | consoled myself
with the old adage that the pen Is
mightier than the sword and decided
Il would be a worse calamity to have
the church down on me than the army.
Even II sleep with all these consider
atoms had been possible, the frequent
stops would have completely put 1t to
fight, for the moment train arrives
at a station, no matter what the time
of night, the sellers Of lunch boxes,
hot milk. tea or tobacco begin to cry
their wares. in tones that are like the
wailings of lost souls, and for penetra.
ton and volume unequalled by any
thing in my experience.
The sellers of tea at the stations will
give one a small teapot filled with
hot tea, and a tiny cup, all for three
sen, or q cent and q half In American
money.
At the railroad stations during the
war with Russia one was sure to see
parties of wounded soldiers returning
from the front; or those who were de-
parting for the seat Of war. These
latter were always attended by a
crowd of men and women, who waved
small Japanese flags and gave a shout
as the train moved away. This shout
is really more of a screech than q
good. round cheer, such as would be
heard in America, for 1t seems as II
there is some physical reason why

While Japanese men are more and
more adopting European dress, the
women assume 1t very slowly. the men
not encouraging it. seeming to prefer
their womenkind in the national cos
tune. There is reason certainly for
this preference, for Japanese woman

The working class still cling to the
ancient costume and methods. To-day
ladders are made Of bamboo, the rungs
dashed fast With rope, as they have

streets are watered with little carts
having row If holes at the back,
and pulled by men, who fill them SLOW

by two perforat, d buckets, suspended
from a bamboo pole laid across the
shoulders of a man, who trots in and
out between the PEOPLE, turning and
twisting until the walk Is thoroughly
sprinkled.
Everything seemb to be done the
hardest way, and those who work,
work very hard. Thu few men who

COURAGE HIS DISTINGUISHING
TRAIT.

Grover Cleveland died full Of honors
and with "A firm hold upon the respect
and esteem Of his countrymen which
death cannot relax. After a time Of
bitter controversies and fierce combats
that would have broken a weaker ma
ture he passed from the field of politics
to serene and useful private life. Dur.
Ing the storm and stress period his dis.
tinguishiDg trait was courage. This
courage sometimes caused him to perse-
we're In mistakes. but 1t was of immense
value to the country, and Its genuine.
ness was proved by the fact that It
never required popularity as an indis.
pcnsable support. 1t was a native gift
that made Mr.. Cleveland great man
when he came to face great responsible
tiles. He had had little preparation for
the presidency. or the education of the
schools he had as much as other men
who have held Office. but he had no
schooling or practice In federal politics
and was not known mt all as a student
or publicist. The little that had been
heard Of him when he was first pro.
posed as Democratic candidate In
1884 was that he had made a good Gov.
ernor Of New York. His courage and
strong common sense were what
brought him through with creditable
record and they enabled him to rise
to the new and more serious demands
upon him. From the first he had no
master. no boss. Men who enjoyed a
national reputation when he was living
In obscurity and who expected to die.

but they soon gave up trying to over.
