CANADIANS ATTITUDE.
Do They Fear Eventually Becoming
American Citizens.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
1t would be interesting to know how
large a part of the Canadian anti-reci-
procity vote was the product of an I'M
reasoning fear. The majority was much
greater than can be accounted for on or
binary grounds. Evidently the people
of Canada are imbued with the national
spirit and averse to entanglng and
threatening complications. The defeat
of reciprocity can be readily explained
on that hypothesis. But the extent and
emphasis of the defeat suggest still more
poignant and intimate considerations.
such, perhaps, as the fear Of ultimate
citizenship in this presumably proud and
maybe prosperous Union.
Comparatively young men can recall
the time when that prospect would have
contained no terrors even for the most
timid and uniformed. On the contrary,
the status of the American citizen, his
immunities and privileges and opportuni-
ties, filled the world with envy and desire.
Our public has held up the picture for
admring contemplation. the press united
in choruses of harmonious jubilatiOn, and
the silent but reassuring testimony Of our
national life and progress provided the
most abundant and alluring coloring. In
those days identity with the fortunes of
the CnlIeO StdteS SctIHeu anu was d con-
summation greatly to be wished. The
guarantee of our flag was a precious
stimulus. the exercise of the franchise a
proud distinction. No cloud obscured the
bright sky above us; no obstacle blocked
the pathway to a common glory. Dur
ing the last six or seven years, however
American citizenship has been steadily
taking on abhorrent and obnoxious as
poets. According to the undertaking
writer's and the professional orators the
newspapers. periodicals and magazines
to say nothing of politicians in and out
Of Congress, we are an accursed people.
Those of us who have accumulated for
tunes have done so in iniquity and
stealth, through inhuman persecution of
the helpless, through ruthless spoliation
of their rivals The social structure rests
on falsehood. crime, vulgarity: our gov
eminent is thing of graft and treach-
cry. Every one with bank account is
under suspicion or open denunciation.
Only the unsuccessful are virtuouS; only
the wretched are pure.

ODD PHASES OF JAPAN.
Picturesque Shops and Booths
Wonderful Wistaria.

From the oriental Review.
Japan certainly controverts some of the
occidental ideas as to woman's sphere.
for in the province of Shima. on the
south coast of the island empire, women
are the sterner sex and not only do most
of the field work, but are also employed
as divers.
They enter the water at all seasons eX-
cept during the coolest months of the
winter, remaining under water sometimes
for over a minute. and gather shellfish
and tengusa. a kind of seaweed. which
they place in a small net carried by each
diver at the girdle.
These female divers are extremely
hardy. The life is, however, trying and
the constant exposure causes those en-
gagged In it to become very coarse in
appearance and to age quickly.
The shops and booths of Japan are OF
unfailing interest. Here the green grocer
and fruit seller has arranged his wares
until it seems as though one looked upon
a great bouquet. There the flower shop
bla yes in brilliance and the lantern maker
squats at his multi-colored task.
At the next entrance we perhaps see a
man severing chicken meat from the
bone. and he performs the operation as
skillfully as the surgeon with his dissect-
ing knife. Two or three PAGES farther
on one Is confronted with a typical Japa-
nese shoe store.
The newcomer is at once startled al the
immense quantity of this simple footwear
and the many places where 1t is SOld but
he soon finds a solution to his query when
he hears that a Japanese man annually
makes away with from eight to ten pairs
year. But curious things are not found
in the shops alone. The green vegetable
peddler carries loads heavy enough for
horse, but still has enough energy to
call his wares as he goes.
The wistaria. or fulfil no hara, follows
the cherry blossoms in Japan during the
last of May and first of June, and coming
just between spring and summer Is called
niki-so, or plant of two seasons There
are several varieties of wistaria. The
earliest the white bloom, comes before
the leaves.
Then comes the royal fuji or wistaria
multijuga, with its blossoms in sprays
from twenty to fifty inches long, Of deli
cate mauve color, one lip on each flower
/ deep purple. This long spray Is more
common in the eastern provinces and the
common variety is much shorter. The
last variety of wistaria to bloom Is a very
fragrant white species.
The wistaria, by the way, is named for
an American, Caspar Wistar, and is al
ways called fuji by the Japanese. The
crest of the Fujiwara family is designed
from the full, and at Kasuga Park, Nara,
one of their old estates now imperial
property. the wistaria is allowed to grow
wild and spreads its snaky stems over

Inoculating Land.

FROM Dry Farming
1t is apparent that most of our upland
prairie lands will need incubation Near
ly all farmers (at least those who have
taken an interest in alfalfa) understand
this term. 1t is necessary that certain
bacteria be found in the soil. If they are
not there naturally they must be put
there This planting of the bacteria is
called incubation.
Pure cultures can be obtained, but the
best and safest method is to secure dirt
from a successful alfalfa field. This dirt
should be sowed over the field at the
rate Of 200 or 300 pounds per acre. upon
a cloudy day, or just before a rain If pos
sible, and narrowed ill., Sunshine is in
furious to the germs. A sack and a half
of soil to an acre will be sufficient, but
it might be of advantage to mix this
with other dirt to insure equable distri-
button An advantage in starting with
a small patch of alfalfa is that when this
patch is we'll inoculated a farmer has an
abundance of alfalfa dirt to inoculate
large areas.

But you have not tracked the Wrights
to their sand dune retreat. 1t is twelve
miles across Albemarle sound to the
waste stretch of sand bounded by the
Kitty Hawk and the Kill Devil nfe-saving

are the words that adequately describe
the region. Rising out of fringe of

heights of the Kill Devil hills. The view
from the water as the motor boat ap-

the banks of the Nile, with the wastes of
the Sahara in the background. Once on
