JAPANESE WAY WITH ANIMALS.
Work of the Society for Humane Pro-
lection of Animals.

(From an Address by Masujiro Honda
Before the International Humane
Conference at Washington)
Japanese mythology indicates the
fact that our early ancestors became
settled agriculturists without passing
through the pastoral stage of eVolu-
ton. The physical conditions of the
island country preclude pastoral in
dustrv almost entirely. We have not,
therefore. sufficiently learned how to
take care of animals. and what do
mestic animals we have are poor both
in size. quality. and variety
Buddhism, on the other hand, IN
stilled in our minds the siniulness OF
taking life in whatsoever form 1t may
be. Confucianism has also taught us
to extend our bencvolence even 10
plant crea ton. one of our classical
poets expressed. in his immortal verse,
the idea that he would offer flowers
to Buddha as they stand and thrive
in the field. because the hands that
cut and mutilate the beautiful things
must surely defile them. The Japan
ese are of floral arrangement was in
itself inspired by an untold compass
sion on the blossoms that people care
lessly picked for piomentary enjoy
ment and threw OH the ground with
out thought. The desire to keep alive
those discarded flowers as long as
possible was the origin of floral com
positions of graceful lines and har-
monious colors.
Dogs and cats are allowed to bask
in the sun in the middle OF the street
or road, without molestation on the
mart of drivers and foot-passengers.
The late George r. Angel of Boston
wrote to us and praised US for this.
Farmers as. a rule keep only one OK
or horse for blowing and as a beast
of burden. and the animal is a mem
Der OF the family. He lives usually
under the same roof with the family
at one end of the house. If therefore
the animal coughs, or sneezes, or shows
any other signs of ill-health, it will
be cared. for at once.
Cruelty to dumb animals does exist
we must admit, but it is largely from
mere ignorance rather than malice
And our extreme adherence to take
lives produces negative kind OF cruel
ty in allowing sick or wounded animals
to linger on in their suffering. We hu-
name workers of Japan. therefore. are
endeavoring to educate the public in
the sentiment of positive love and bet

AMERICAN" STOVES IN CHINA.
Chinese Manufacturing Stoves copy
American Designs Including Amer''

1t is frequently remarked that the
Chinese are increasingly supplying
their own demands for goods of for
eign design. This tendency is notice.
abIe in the stove market at Antung'
The Chinese at this place are now
producing fairly good stoves so cheap
Nv that it is difficult to sell foreign
stoves in competition. The chinese
stove factories at this place use
American stoves, as rule, for pat
terms, and so closely initiate them That
the name of the American manufac-
turer frequently appears upon the'
Chinese stove and the difference be-
tween the two articles is scarcely per-
ceptible. though the native product is
not quite as smooth in appearance
AS the winter climate in this district
is severely cold. the mercury dropping
to 20 degrees below zero. and coal IS
comparatively cheap, there Is con-
siderable demand for stoves.
The price of the Chinese stoves IS
scarcely more than the freight would
