He Amused the Cubs.

A negro attached to an African hunt
ing party met with curious adven-
ture. says an English paper. Wander
ing one day from camp, he surprised
two lion cubs at play and thoughtlesS-
ly commenced to amuse them. He was
only too successful. The big cubs gam
boiled fearlessly about him and to his
dismay refused to desist when he
wished to leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off and in their
play scratched his legs in fearful
fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations of delight, and
before long their unusual cries brought
lloness leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb. the negro
faced the growing animal, while the
cubs continued to jump up at him,
eager for further caresses. The en-
ragged lioness moved round uneasily

their eyes steadily on each other. Sew
eral times the lioness crouched to
spring, but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length, after what seemed an age,
when the negro was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her subs away and disappeared
into the surrounding scrub.

OF fencing and jiu-jitsu abound and
anyone may learn both arts If he will
give the time and money necessary.
But the fencing and jiu-jitsu of the
Butoku Kwai is in a sense part OF the
governmental military preparation. IL
has certainly an actual value in train
ing individuals for war, even in THESE
days. when hand to hand combat is
almost impossible The quickness OF
eye and hand, the adroitness In at
tack and defense, the training OF
nerve and muscle-these are sun
worth while from the military point
of view. and these to a remarkable
degree are developed through the ex-
ercises of this society. AL, weli'
everything connected with military
preparation in Japan is to some de-
gree secret and guarded from exterhai
observation. The photographer IN
any part of the empire must watch
with care for the marks which indi-
cate the so-called fort zones" with
in which the use of cameras is not
allowed. Even on slfipboard placards
are posted, warning passengers thaI
in japanese waters photographing
and .sketching are prohibited by law,
and will not be permitted on the YES
sell
Personally we never see or hear
iiu-iitsu without remembering Lafca-
do Hearn's comparison. For him the
whole national policy Of Japan is in
the nature of jiu-jitsu exercise-the
using of the enemy's strength to his
own undoing-he makes the claim that
Japan is playing jiu-jitsu with all the
outside world. She yields that she
may gain: she abandons the unneces-
sary In her character that she may
profit by the experience and wisdom
of outside nations To him the game
was wise: he believed in its ultimate
success.
While the Jidai Matsuri was cele-
brated both morning and afternoon we
were assured that the afternoon per-
Torrance would be far the best, and
were invited to visit KiyomiZu-Dera
in the morning. This famous temple
striking in architecture and position

original margin, and stands supported

able scaffolding of heavy posts and
timbers-giving it the most astonish-
ing appearance of being set up on
high stills. In approaching it one
passes up an abrupt slope, closely
built on both sides with little shops
at most of which cheap potteries are
sold. These shops are famous, but
for us the shops of gourds or Gala
bashes were more interesting. II was
Hideyoshi who carried for his stand
ard the golden calabashes. 1t Is fit
ting that Kyoto should surpass in
calabashes to this day. Think of little
shop from whose ceiling hang hun
dreds of gourds beautifully colored in
red and nodded into fantastic forms:
for the Japanese Is not content with
gourds as nature makes them. He in
geniously ties or binds the growing
calabashes with cords In such a way
as to force them into forms of slender
TASKS. of snakes, of masses of intes-
tines. of ducks and other birds. They
are meant for vessels to carry fluid
especially the favorite sake or rice
wine. When one has selected some
strange flask to suit him, he buys a
little gourd for a cup, beautifully lac
qnered and adorned with gold and
colors.
One reason why we wished to visit
Kiyomizu-Dera was its connection
, with Ainu history. In its precincts

god who in the ninth century gave the

from 1903 until 1865. During all that

1868, with the restoration OF the
Mikado to actual power, the seat Oh

today Kyoto lives upon its past glory
In 1895 Kyoto celebrated its eleven
hundredth anniversary by building a
curious and striking building which is
commonly known as the Tai-kyoku
Den. 1t was intended to reproduce
the architecture of the time when the
city itself was founded. 1t that
time Japan wa; notably under Chinese
influence, and the whole architecture
and style of the edifice emphasizes
that fact. There is a grand and mas

ored, which gives entrance to an
enormous courtyard in which Is STU

before the procession was to take

memorial building, which is the ter

marches after it has passed through
the main streets of the city. After in
specting it. and being given details OF
its history, we were taken to another
building close at hand where a most
interesting sight was witnessed. The
building was the training-hall of the

This society was organized In 1896
and is represented throughout the en-
pire. Today it numbers over 100000
members. It's purpose seems to be
the development of military virtues,
Of bravery, of skill in defense and at
tack. In this great hall scores of per-
sons daily engage in the practise of
fencing and of jiu-jitsu. When We
entered. we found the exercise in full
swing. Half the hall was devoted to
fencing, the other half to jiu-jitsu.
We were warned as we entered the
building that no photographing would
be allowed, but that we were well
come to witness the performance
The thing which first impressed us
was the fact that sprinkling of the
comoatants actively engaged in
fencing and in jiu-jitsu were mere
children eight or ten years old. No
one who has not seen the exercise
can imagine the vigor and aggressive
ness of japanese fencing. The COM
batants are carefully guarded against
injury by heavy protective coverings
on the head and over the face, the
chest, the arms and upper legs. The
weapons used in fencing are like club
swords or wooden Stats, and not only
thrusts but strokes of the most VIC
lent nature are given in the exercise.
The noise made is astonishing, but
more astonishing yet is the vigor of
attack Children were pitted against
grown men in many cases, although
it is clear that the older combatants
in such pairing are not expected to
use their powers to the utmost. At
the same time, they do not play with
their small antagonists. who in many
cases make onslaughts of such vigor
and force that skillful guarding is
necessary for protection against it,
iitsu. Here too, in many cases children
OF eight or ten are pitted against we'll
known men, Every reader knows
that Jiu-1itsu is a form of wrestling
in which yielding on the part of the
attacked defeats the exerted strength
and power OF the assailant. The
more an enemy exerts himself the
worse for him. 1t is astonishing to
see some Of the results, especially
in cases where a child of eight years
seemed to throw and exhaust a man
of developed power.
The fact that photographing was
rot allowed is part of the general pol
icy of the imperial government. Pri-
vate fencing can be witnessed any
where without restriction. Teachers
