INTELLECTUAL LIFE IN JAPAN.

LIFE IN JAPAN.
The position of the literary men in
Japan differs in many essential re-
spects from that which is accorded
writer's of prominence in the Western
world The individuality of literary
fame and literary personality in its
various aspects have not been devel-
oped in the Orient to nearly the same
extent as in the West. The great books
to which men return again and again
for guidance and inspiration have
been written thousands of years
ago, and those men who earned
fame thereafter won their lau-
rels by writing commentaries upon
the classics. No merit attached to
originality. Moreover, most writings
were anonymous. Especially if they
were original was it advisable that
the author should not make his per-
sonality too prominent. While learning
was Away respected, authorship never
had the position in Japan and other
Oriental countries that it has enjoyed
in the West, from the Greeks down to
the present.
The Japanese mind will excel in the
future in many directions, but the
greatest development may be expect
ed in those activities for which racial
and social experience has best pre-
pared the intellect. A strong but selec-
tive realism in literature, delicate
word-paipting, the successful search
for mastery over the forces of nature,
a grasp of social and political relation
ships-these are among the things we
expect from the Japan of the future -
Paul S. Reinsch, in North American
Review.

JURY PRAYED

her for the baby whose little hands
now reach vainly for its mothers fair
white breast"
The effect of Wedenburg's speech in
its entirety was fairly electrical, and
Judge Watson, mentally decrying any
thing that might SAVIOR of snap YER
dict, ordered Sheriff Gill to give the
jury ten minutes exercise on the
courthouse lawn before locking it up
in the peaked roof attic directly above
the courtroom.
Hears the Jury's Prayer.
The first act of the jury when they
entered the room was to pray. Juror
Blankenship led the prayer.
Family the reverent tones of his
voice in prayer reached the ears of
the prisoner. He stared for an instant
at the ceiling, then suddenly unfolded
his newspaper and seemed to be en-
crossed in it. But his eyes were con-
veying nothing to him from the pages.
They were dancing wildly. With a
huge palm leaf his father famed his
youths brow.
He was unmindful of the attention
apparently There had come upon his
face an expression entirely different
from that of flippancy and confidence
which he had so amazingly shown on
former days of his trial.
The man was looking into the UNI
known; into the tremendous mystery
of death. The lines of dissipation were
missing. His eyes had grown strik-
ingly luminous and large. His high
forehead and wavy hair, the wilderness
of his face and the sharpening of his
features under the strain had taken
away his habitual sneer. His face had
become piteous and very young.
Agree on First Ballot.
The discussion of the case upstairs
proceeded solemnly, and from the be-
ginning it had only one trend. Each
iuryman told his fellows what most
firmly convinced him of the young
mans guilt They took only one bal
lot, 1t was unanimous for Beattie's
death.
Later the twelve men admitted to
their friends that they stood in judg-
ment not only over the cold-blooded
murder but upon lis marital infidelity
as we'll.
Beattie's eyes, big and scared
searched the faces of the incoming
jurors half madly. Intuitively he
seemed to read in their averted faces
the decision that they had reached

Mr.. Beatte, your situation greatly
appeals to my sympathy As a young
man you started life with unusual
advantages. Much that poor youths
have to bear in the struggle was spur

With pity in his voice the judge pro-

first degree and therefore your life is
forfeited, and the judgment of this
court is that November "a you be de-

Beattie's fortitude was here really
amazing. He had sat with eyes hungri-

NO AUTHORITY
FOR ARREST OF
REP. M'GILLICUDDY
Especial from United Press.

Especial from United Press.)
Washington, Aug. 16-The police of
New London, Conn.,, had absolutely no
authority to arrest Representative
Daniel j. McGillicuddy, Oem., Me.),
for disorderly conduct, according to
the constitutional sharps in the House,
today.
All parliamentary experts, including
Asher Kinds, McGillicuddy's colleague
from Maine, the expertest expert of
them all, so declared.
Under the constitution, Senators and
Representatives shall in all cases ex-
cept treason, felony and breach of
the peace, be privileged from arrest
during their attendance at the session
of their respective houses, and in go
ing to and returning from the same. :"
Parliamentarians today pointed out
that McGillicuddy was "going to" a
session of the House when he was ar
rested because he failed to surrender
his railroad ticket
"Oh, what's the USE said McGilli-
cuddy today, when told of the opinion
of his colleagues. Il tried to tell
those fellows at New London that
was a Congressman, but they arrested
me just the same. 1 suppose that
I've waived all constitutional privil-
eyes by giving bail, but I'm here, all
right, so what's the use''

MEN PAST SIXTY
BARRED AS JURORS.

F'rom the Macon Daily TelegraphJ
Coming as surprise was the ruling
of Judge Robert T. Daniel in SpaIdfnx
Superior Court this morning that all
men over 60 years of age were dis
qualified for jury duty. When the
men who had been summoned for fury
duty stood up the question was ask
ed:
Have any of you gentlemen a Je-
gal excuse for not serving on the
jury?"
Il am over sixty years of age" re-
piled we'll known citizen. but I can
serve on the jury"
mot in this court" smilfng1y ruled
the Judge, Heretofore. gentlemen. tha
age limit has been optional with the
juror but recent rulings of the Court
of Appeals render the observance OF
the age limit imperative in this court"
Several grand and traverse Jurors
were excused They had come to
Griffin prepared to serve on the jur-
les and had no intimatfon that they
were to be excluded. This act on thu
part Of Judge Daniel will probably re-
suit in the withdrawal of all names
from the jury box of men who are
over 60 years Of age.

NATIONALITY OF EGGS.

(From the Pail Mall Gazette1 n
Is 1t possible to tell the nationality
of an egg by inspection? The ques-
ton is raised in acute form by tins
evidence given yesterday in the pros
ecution of a Lancashire firm for seIT-
ing Russian eggs, as Irish which re-
suited in acquittal The experts va
ried, as even experts will. zone coz
fidently pronounced the eggs in oues-
ton Russians nearly five weeks olax
another said they were second cIass
Russians; third specified the south
of Russia. On the other hand. ex-
perts for the defence were equally
positive that nobody could tell tf1a
birthplace Of an egg from externsf
examination We are most Impress
ed by the witness who said tha,
was Understandable. On the WHO'S
one is bound to come to the concIrI.
sion that the average purchaser Of
eggs must take their nationality tn
on trust. He may have his susr,f-
cions, no doubt, based upon the exxss
apparent antiquity. But the ordir-
airy consumer cannot get beyond Dan
Leno's division of the genius into
new laid eggs fresh eggs and
"eggs.''
