Nervous InValidism.

Nervous health is rebuilt by effort.
DR.. Richard c. Cabot Of the Harvard
Medical school maintains that a con
siderable part of nervous invalidism
arises either because people have no
work or because they have no work
that suits them, or because they do
not know how to get the most out OF
the work in which they are already
engaged 1t is not easy for the IN
valid to cure himself by work. but ia
tigue and distress lessen with the
repetition of the same task. and so
work becomes suppOrtable. comforta'
bic. acceptable. till finally we are
back in our normal position nc
longer bearing up in spite OF our
work. but being borne up by it"
The hanger back can never be ir
this normal position. or never at any
rate in reference to the thing he hang!
back from doing. If he is a chroni,
hang hacker he can never be in it.
Dr. Cabot goes on to describe thu
value Of routine for people who hav
not accustomed themselves to worl
regularly Routine is one OF the hard
est things for a hang hacker to put u
with and get on in. He does not wan
to work unless he is in the mood. an
he does not know how or care to wor
| himself into the mood. Such peopl
are indispensable wherever employed
They allow the slightest excuses t
! keep them from work. They han
back for the slightest and most absur
! OF reasons.

upon instruments used in times of an
tiquity.
Imperial princes, disdaining wealth
and station upon such an occasion
when grief is supposed to set the low
and the high upon a common ground,
marched along on foot behind the mu-
sicians. They wore white kimonos
and wide trousers of black. Each was
shod in common straw sandals and
carried a staff OF bamboo. Indeed, the
duty of the princes at the time OF
such a funeral as this is not an en-
viable one for they are kept con-
stantly upon their feet for nearly the
three days through which the cere-
monies last and in that time have lit
tie opportunity to eat.
Following the princes came the
creaking OK wain-the hearse of the
Emperor Around the grooming cart
marched Shinto priests, dressed in the
robes Of office. Some were mounted;
others were afoot.
Close by followed high officers Of
state, and behind them were led tdhe
favorite horses of the defunct En-
peror. Each horse was fitted out in
all its trappings and each was yelled
with white. In Japan horses are sup
posed to have souls, which accounted
for the especial pains taken with the
favorite equines from the imperial
stables of the late Mikado.
after the horses came the princess
es and ladies of the court in closed
carriages. They were dressed in yell
.ow partly yelled in black. although
omen of lesser rank were attired in
ed. The diplomatic corps and the
representatives of foreign govern
ments had a place in line directly be-
hind the officers of the Japanese
court. Three regiments of soldiers
from the Toxic barracks, marching
with cased colors and muffled drums,
and accompanied by nearly 10000
marines and blue jackets completed
the line.
The procession was over seven
miles long and dusk was growing into
night before the parade ground out
side the cemetery at Aoyma was
reached.
Emperor Yoshitito did not accom-
pany the cortege. He was driven to
Aoyama in the state coach.
At least 100000 persons were gath
cred at the great cemetery when the
concourse arrived. They were held
in line by soldiers On the outside of
the space allotted for the public.

TOXIC, Sept. 13 (Friday)-Ancient
traditions and religious rites mingled
with modern diplomatic pageantry to.
day when the ceremonies attending
the burial of the late Emperor Mutsu-
hito, who died on July 30, were inau-
gurated. The United States had a
leading part in the modern show, in
which shared representatives of all
Powers of the world, but in the ancient
rites Japan was alone.
Funeral rites of the Shinto religion
unknown to any other country and so
old that their origin is lost in the mists
Of antiquity, marked today's ceremony
and will continue for two days more,
or until the final interment of the Mi
kado in the ancient imperial cemetery
near Kioto on Sunday.
These scenes present strange con-
trast to the Twentieth Century spirit
manifested by Japan in all else save
in matters of religion.
The event is, however, more than
an expression of great national grief.
1t is important in that it shows the
high ranking place of Japan amongst
nations of the earth. Every Power Of
consequence is represented here.

by the depth of their emotion the SIN

the reigning family.
Gorgeous ceremonials partaking of
the quality of state events as we'll as
religious pageantry make up the three
days of public and private services.
Although $75O.00O was appropriated by
the Diet for the expense of the funer-
al, the actual cost will go high above
that figure 1t is hard to express the
magnitude and grandeur of the event
in order to convey an impression of
the actual dimensions.
Not only has the capital city been
in mourning since the Emperor died
but the entire Empire. Wherever the
colors of the Land of the Rising Sun
fly there have been offered up pray
ers by priests and 1ayren alike, from
soldiers as well as civilians for the re-
pose of Mutsuhitos soul anG the guild

der direction of officers from the army
and navy. Thousands of weeping men
and women hung upon the outskirts
or crowded forward with numbled
words of prayer.
Following an ancient Japanese Gus
tom inaugurated in the days of EN-
peror Kwammu more than one thous-
and years ago, the imperial coffin was
placed on the funeral car by one hun
dred men of Hase village, Kioto. These
men were forbidden to utter a word
during the ceremonies.
Seven gigantic oxen were attached
to the enormous funeral car which had
been especially built for this occasion.
The leader of the oxen was a gigantic
animal of jet black. The others We're
dun with flecks of white and black.
Japan had been secured to find per-
feet animate for this occasion.
AS the procession moved off the
wheels of the OK cart which had been
constructed to creak mournfrly gave
off a lugubrious sound. Slowly and
ponderously this great, rough, five
ton hearse moved forward behind the
soldiers and through lane, the sides
of which were banked with troops
from the regular army.
The procession was headed by the
Imperial Body Guards-picked troops
corresponding to the Household regi-
ments of Great Britain. They were
followed by vehicles bearing thous-
ands upon thousands of various kinds
of flowers. Some were arranged in
the forms of cones 10 feet hight and
at certain points the beautiful moving
bower filled the narrow streets from
side to side.
The cones were carried by men in
the dress of ancient mourners. They
wore long kimonos of white linen and
each wore a tall black cap with long
peak
Next came the mounted police, a
superbly drilled organization, each
man sitting erect in his saddle like a
soldier. Following the police came
what looked like moving forest. This
part of the procession was made up OF
men carrying trees with roots intact
to be planted in the cemetery. The
dark green boughs of these sacred
trees were relieved by streamers of
variously colored silk ribbon. Each
bore pious inscription.
After the tree bearers were a large
number of men carrying high stand
ards. Some of these were so tall that
it required nearly dozen men to car
ry each. The names upon them were
of the noblest families of Japan and
the inscriptions were from the family
crests. But these were followed by
even a loftier standard or rich bro.
cade worked with threads of pure gold
This great banner represented the
dian of the princes of the blood.
Rank upon rank of spearmen,
dressed in old time fashion and carry
ing ancient spears followed. To the
head of each weapon was attached a
banneret of white silk.
Then came more soldiers, these
made up to represent the troopers OF
Japan's feudal days. With them march
ed priests and interspersed among the
soldiers and the ecclesiasts were mu.
sicials who played sad funeral dirges

Yoshihito, who plays SO important a
part in the obsequies.
There was no flying of crepe for
black means nothing to Japanese.
White is the symbol of sorrow
throughout the Nipponese country and
the public buildings were thus draped.
Inside a sacred chamber in the i'm
perial palace rested until today the
body of the dead, robed in a white
shroud and lying in a white casket
nine feet long. This casket is enclos-
ed within another upon a bier around
watched night and day since the
spark of life was extinguished.
Inside the inner casket the remains
of the dead have been embalmed by
Shinto priests. The fluid used was a
costly and beautiful scarlet pigment
derived from cinnebar.
Today's program was as follows:
Prayers by priests and iaymen in
the temples; foreign representatives
pay the tribute of their various gcv-
ernments to the memory Of the dead
ruler; funeral cortege to Aoyama
cemetery where public services were
held and food given to the multitude:
eulogies pronounced by Emperor Yo-
shihito and the Empress Dowager;
departure of the funeral train bear

cemetery near Kfioto.

At the appointed hour of 6 this
morning the first ceremonies of the
funeral began. The Representatives of
the foreign governments, including
Mr. Knox and his aides, assembled in
the principal audience chamber of the
imperial palace. There they were
met by the Elder Statesmen, the mem
bers of the House of Peers and all
government.
While the condolences were being
extended preparations for the removal
of the body to the Aoyama cemetery
for the public ritual were going on.
Aoyama stands upon the outskirts Of
Toxic and in the Nippinese means

the lofty eminence of one of these
hills is burying ground set apart
for the Emperor's family when court
was removed from the old capital at
