Now, the Jay-fowl never does forget
The things the Zotwots do,
For the Jay-fowl is the Zotwots' pet,

"On July 27, 1899, fifteen days be- perial Ordinance No. 352 was issued by the emperor in the presence of, and under the signatures of, four members of the Privy council. Japan in her earlier history had suffered much from her treaties. in that many of the contracting nations seemed to have the fault of the Dutch; that of giving too little and taking too much This time she wanted to be sure tha she was well protected. It was recess time with the Diet, but the COnstitu- tion provides that an emergency aris- ing during the recess, an imperial or dinance stands in the place of law Article LV, however, makes the sig nature of Minister of state neces- sary for the validity even of an inn perial ordinance.
