KISSES SHOCKED HIM
JAPANESE COULD. NOT UNDER.
STAND WESTERN SALVATION.
Declared, for Instance, That Il Gave
Him Queer Feeling to See Aged
Couple Thus Greet Each 9th
err on the Pavement.

Smimasa Idichi relates, in the To
kyo Far East, some of his surprising
adventures among the kissing races
of the West. He describes the hor-
ror of English women of his acquaint-
ance when he told them that he had
never kissed his mother in all his
life.
The first thing the English child
learns is how to kiss" he says. THE
first thing the Japanese child learns is
how to bow" kissing is not prac-
tised in Japan" he told his English
friends, not because the people are
stony hearted. but because 1T is re-
garded as the height OF bad man
ners."
The kiss in Japan, 1t seems, is At
only to mothers. "A Japanese mother
is often seen to kiss the baby in her
arms, but when the baby leaves its
mothers arms-that is, when 1t can
get along by itself, and feels a sort
of self-consciousness-it would not al
low its mother to kiss It," He men
lions the complaint of Western visit
ors to Japan that I've Japanese ex-
pose too much of our natural bodies"
Though the natural body is one of
the most beautiful forms on earth"
the Japanese critic of kissing con-
cedes that 1t should not be too much
exposed.
Much Of the kissing that he OBJ
served in England distressed this SEN
sitive Japanese not a little. When
saw" he writes, IAN old couple, with
careworn faces and tottering steps
kissing each other on the pavement
of the London street, could not help
feeling rather unpleasant. l cannot
give an adequate reason for it, but
somehow do not feel pleasant when
Z see the conventional custom of kiss
Ing between married people kept up
to old age" Surely it is impossible
for a Westerner to fathom the orr
entail mind.
The Japanese observer got into an
odd predicament through other peo-
pies kissing. He was strolling about
Hampstead Heath one day when he
found himself In a narrow footpath
and in front Of him he saw a young
man and a girl seated on a bench.
Presently" he relates, 1.-THE two
heads came together and they were
finally lost behind the girls hat. l
knew what was going on behind the
scenes, SO l stopped short and pre-
tended to be looking another way, so
as not to disturb their happy state.
Now and then l turned toward the
scene to see if it weren't already over.
was in the predicament for about
half an hour lit seemed so long to
mel; but the two heads still remained
in close attachment. At last gave
up waiting until the end Of the scene
and crossed the field, taking another
path"
Thus was demonstrated once more
that the Japanese know all about DO
likeness, even If they do not under
stand kissing.

have prepared for them and will iden-
tify them.
While the blessing of the Lord will
provide an abundance for all. never
theless we may safely assume that the
provision will be in the hands of their
fellows. 1t will be the sheep that will
be especially interested In those in the
great prison-house of death. and who
will be praying for them and prepar-
ing for them. BY so engaging their
time and energy these sheep will be
manifesting q purpose. a will. in har-
mony with that of the Creator God
has willed that all in the graves shall
come forth at the command of the Lord
Jesus; and those in harmony with God
and Christ will be co-laborers with God
in accomplishing the work for which
Christ died Whoever is not interested
in that work will be lacking in Gods
Spirit: and this is exactly what is
charged against the goat class.

of mankind and having provided for
the resurrection Of all the redeemed.
counts them as in certain sense rep
resenting Himself. as He says In the
parable. His reproof to the goat class
indicates that they were not really in
terested in the things of God Their
interest was merely a selfish one. They
had more or less of the spirit of selfish
ness. which is the spirit of Satan.

points out Is. The gift of God is eter-

MARRYING HABIT AND SEX
Women Naturally Seek MatrImony
More Than Men Because of
Teachings Of Generations

Women have the marrying habit;
men do not. This is not strange, for
generations of girls have been taught
that every woman should be married,
and that to remain unwed Is dis
grace. Being married woman" has
been sort of boast of superiority on
the part of wives. Naturally, because
their mothers and almost every other
person of their own sex put great
deal of emphasis on the desirability
of being married, and none at all on
the desirability, which sometimes ex-
looked on marriage as the goal Of
ambition, and bent their whole ener-
giles to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the unjust stig-
ma of being "old maids" they took
the first man who gave them a
chance. Their object was not love,
not a husband, but simply to acquire
the status, privileges and Difference
which they had been taught were de-
MED to all of their sex except the
married woman"
Can you imagine anything more dis.
astrous?
Yet this is only half the story. The
other half consists in the fact that
the very same mothers who fairly
drive their daughters to marry are
singularly reluctant to see their sons
wed. The mother who is employing
all the arts and craft of the chase to
entrap some other woman's son for
her daughters husband, will weep at
the announcement that the other
woman's daughter has shackled her
son.-Mother's Magazine.

A Wonderful Wall.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the great wall OF China.
The bricks of the parapet are as firm
as ever, and their edges have stood
the severe climatic conditions Of North
China with scarcely a break. The
paving along the top Of the wall Ia so
smooth that one may ride over It with
a bicycle. and the great granite blocks
with which it is faced are smooth and
as closely fitted as when put In place
over 1000 years ago.
The entire length of this wall is
1.4O0 miles; 1t is "a feet high and 20
feet in thickness. At intervals Of 100
yards or SO there are towers, some 40
feet in height

WANTED!

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In
connection with the Canals of Belfast
for Half a Century, " recently republish-
ed in The Journal, l would like very
much to see printed the following:
l. The Grafton delivered by Rev.
Stephen Thurston at the centennial cele-
bration of the completion of Fort Pow
nall, which was held at Fort Point, July
%, 1859. Volume l of Williamson's His
tory of Belfast states that this Grafton
was published in full in the Progressive
Age of Aug. 4, 1859.
2. Davidson's Narrative, which is
quite extensively quoted in williamson S
History. In connection with it Mr.. Will
hanson states: This was written in
1882, after completing his eighty-second
year. 1t is entitled "A Narrative of the
Trials and Sufferings of John Davidson
and his Family in time of the Revolu-
tionary War; The original MS, con-
tanning forty-n nine pages, is in the posses
sion of his son, John @. A. Davidson.

EAT APPLES.

An extraordinarily large apple crop
awaits harvesting all over New England,
Boughs of numberless trees have been
artifcially supported in recent weeks to
prevent their breaking down under their
exceptional load.
European conditions have interrupted
the export trade seriously. Apple grow
ers declare their market broken, and in
many places their fruit not worth pick
ing. But there is way out, which it
should be an advantage for all concerned
to take.
Let every American consumer make
this an apple winter. No fruit is more
wholesome. 1t lends itself to varied
uses. Everybody cannot buy bale of
cotton to relieve southern planters of an
unstable crop, but everybody can eat a
barrel of apples.
In all the confused economics of this
war period there can be no question of
the beneficial effects of quickened use
of an article which will otherwise, in
considerable quantities, rot in the fields.
The farmers will turn the money around
in the village store, and with the mail
order house, and we shall, by eating ap-
Piles, be doing something for everybody
in New England. Boston Herald.

Platform Pledge. FL
From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Dem.]
No business man in the United States
but should oppose the proposition to enact
a law placing additional burdens upon
him, as the measure to levy war taxes
now under discussion by the United
States Senate proposes to DO.
1t should be opposed by business men
of every political party. as it is directly
in the line of that obnoxious and destruc-
tive Latin-Amerlcan system which places
the cost of Government in the heaviest
part upon the active business operations
of the country.
To Democrats-those who have regard
for platform pledges and platform prom.
ises, to those who regard It TIE DUTY OF
the partv to keep faith with the people
we would cite the last sentence of the
article on the tariff of the national con-
vention of 1912:
1--WE appeal to the American people to
support us in our demand for tariff for
revenue only"
The tariff as recently revised does not
promise sufficient revenue now to cover
the expense of the Government even
with the great internal revenue receipts
and the income tax as new source of
revenue.
The expenditures of the Government
in time of profound peace are not
provided for now $50 say those in control
Of the Governmen) by these combined
systems of taxation, and 500, 900, 600
more annually is proposed to be taken
from the pockets of the active business
men of the country to make up the de-
ficiencies occasioned by the operation of
the new tariff law.
Why not revise the revision? Why not
carry out the pledge of the party for
tariff for revenue?
WHY not produce that revenue through
the tariff and save the business men f
the country from these direct and bur-
densome tax exactions which are under
consideration?
Why is it that on every hand and upon
every point the business and the business
men of the country are made the tribute
producers, that taxes and licenses and
stamp duties and all the weight of ad-
ministrat1on and maladminlstration of
the Government should be placed upon
tie hard pressed and struggling business
elements of the country?
If the existing tariff law does not pro-
duce the revenue expected or required,
let it be declared open for revision. and
revise it in accordance with the Demo-
cratic theory that it shall be revenue
producer.
Democratic business men are just as
firmly opposed to these war taxes in
time of peace as Republican business
men, as Progressive business men,
and they will all be equally injured by
by them if levied by the Government.
With the business men of the United
States struggling against stress in finan-
cial, commercial and industrial affairs,
this is no time for the Administration or
the Congress to add to their difficulties
by calling upon them for 100000, 900
cash each year in the shape of new
taxes

1t is said that the first sawmill in the

A FACTORY ON THE FARM.
Farmers Union News Service. ]

A silo is a factory on the farm and
therefore lends itself to cooperation of
the commercial and agricultural inter-
ests. The farmer gets the profit of both
producer and consumer. We need more
of these twin agencies of prosperity on
the farms of Maine and business men
cannot render a better service to their
communities than in encouraging the
building of silos. The silo is great
business educator. 1t arouses the spirit
of enterprise, develops business ingenu-
ity and awakens the joy of ownership.
A farmer can build silo for two or
three hundred dollars, and it will, under
ordinary conditions, pay dividend OF 40
per cent where it is run to capacity.

WAR VS.. ALCOHOL.
TFrom the New York Tribunel


One of the astonishing incidents of the
great war has been its influence in
arousing opposition to alcoholic liquors.
Russia stopped the sale of vodka
throughout the empire. This was war
measure, but it carried its own comment
on the general effect of alcohol. Now
in France, on the front page of the re-
vered and conservative Figaro. we find
an eloquent plea for following this ex-
ample and aboishing alcohol entirely!
The writer, Raphael George Levy, we'll
known economist and statlstlclan, con-
cludes thus:
eve have already stopped the sale of
absinthe. Why halt or the road? 1t is
onlv when favored by great current of
enthusiasm and national revival like that
which crosses the country at this moment
that virile resolutions can be taken. Vive
la France ct mort Palcool!'
The writer is strong in his condemna-
ton of the evils resulting from drinking.
Alcohol enfeebies the race, takes away
from workmen part of their strength and
reduces the whole economic position OF
individual and ma ton alike. The greatest
enemy of France, he asserts, more
dangerous than 1.-The savage German
beaten by our armies, is alcohol. Closing
all liquor shops he comedies to be impos-
sible. But he urges progressive limita-
ton of their number and an end Of all
secret manufacture.
There is strong language in M. Levy's
outpouring. Some of it may be set down
to the spirit of the hour. But who knows
what change may come over the spirit
of Europe when such notions of efficiency
VS.. alcohol can take the place of honor in
the gayest of Partisan journals?

Many letters are being received by the
Department of Agriculture which indi-
cate that farm women in various Sec
tions Of the country have come to be-
lieve that the Government is about to as
sist them with grants Of money to indi
viduals. This unfortunate mistake,
which it is feared will be the cause of
considerable disappointment, appears to
have arisen through misunderstanding
of the Smith-Lever act recently passed
by Congress. Under this act funds con-
tributed both by the federal and State
governments are made available for
practical demonstration work in agricul-
ture and home economics. Experts from
the Agricultural College and county
agents, both men and women, are to
show farmers and farm women the value
of modern methods in agriculture and
housekeeping, and demonstrate the use
of labor-saving devices. The purposes
of the act are, therefore, wholly educa-
tional and there are no provisions what
soever for financial assistance.
