Miracles of Piety.

The suicide of General Nogi and his
wife on the death OF the Japanese
emperor, and the suicide OF a Russian
admiral on the wounding of the care.

talist to say:
"These suicides are the direct re.
suit of the oriental worship Of exag
gerated filial piety- piety to the par.
ents, and thence piety to the emperor
or common parent OF all.
Japan has a multitude of stories
illustrative Of tilial piety, and these
stories, at least In their effect, have
spread to Russia, a thoroughly orien.
talized country.
"One story is a winter one. 1t ex-
tolls a lad whose mother desired fish
in a cold soap. The lad repaired to
the river, stripped, lay on the ice TIL
the warmth of his body melted a hole
in it. and then, catching W fish
through the hole. set them before his
mother, nicely fried.
another story is about Robaishi.
Robaishi was seventy and his parents
were nearly ninety. Robaishi couldn't
bear to think that his parents were
grieving because they were so old, be-
cause they must soon die, and there
fore he dressed himself in a great
long dress OF white baby clothes, with
cap and bib, and sprawled on the

cried. Robaishi's pious purpose was

Political Corruption in Canada.

Has the corruption of the ballot be-
gun In Canada, too? For years, Can
ada, has assumed an I-am-holier-than-
thou attitude to matters American,
both political and financial. You see
it reflected in the columns of the
press every day of the year: and If you
want to put one of my countrymen In
fighting mood on the instant, just
suppe that the Canadian courts are
not spotlessly above reproach! Is the
ballot being corrupted in Canada, too?
Let a statement Of fact answer this
question, rather than argument. A
few years ago, a provincial election
promised to be very close in the West.
In one city is a solid square of 10000

Now a foreigner must have resided Id
Canada three years and have W
Z v,tnesses that he has done SO before
