New Year In Japan.

In Japan the New Year Is welcomed
with far more zest than in this ceun-
Try. One is expected to arise With the
sun and don new clothes to meet the
ausptcious morning. Then be wos-

ordinary yiands are consumed as
breakfast. On every tray, covered
with evergreen leaves and supporting
rice dumping. nre placed lobster,
oranges. persimmons, chestnuts. dried
sardlnes and herring root. all these
dishes possessing allegorical meanings.
This meal is the start Of the fessdyt-
ties, which In olden times were con-
tinued for many days, business being
almost entirely suspended. The idea
Of celebrating New Years In such i
manner is that the year Is going to be
the way It Is started. Smile On New
Years day and you will smile through
out the year. Complain on New Years
day and sou will complain all the Sear
round. Weigh your anchor with mer-

Hapeleen and the Balloon.

When Napoleon was young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness
the ascent Of a balloon in the Champs
de Mars. He entered, unperceiYed. the
inciosnre which contained the balloon,
which was then very nearly full and
about to ascend, and requested the
aeronaut to allow him TO enter the
ear. The request however, was re-
fused, the reason given being that the
feelings OF the boy might embarrass

Politics In France.

Americans generally know as little
about French politics as Frenchmen
know about ours. Issues, methods
and parties, in the two countries are
radically different. In France parties
are SO many in number and so small
ia membership that they are usually
designated as groups rather than as
parties. 1t is always -ecessary to COM
bsne the forces OF three or more OF
them to constitute a majority in the
chamber OF deputies, and that can De
done only By giving each group rep
resentation In the cabinet. The parlia-
mentay system Of France resembles
that OF Great Britain-in this: When
the chamber gives vote adverse to
the ministry. the ministry resigns. But
: that means only that q new alliance IS
formed that includes groups other than
those represented in the retiring min
fstry. AS consequence it usually
happens that some members Of tae de-
feated cabinet are retained In the cab

In one Of the old Greek cities there
stood long ago statue. Every trace
OF it has vanished now. But there is
still In existence an epigram which
gives us an excellent description Of 1t,
and as we read the words we can sure
" discover the lesson which those wise
old Greeks meant that the statue
should teach to every passerby.
The epigram is in the form OF con-
rersation between traveller and the
statue:
ssWhat IS thy name, o Statue:
'I am called Opportunity"
.sWho made thee:'
'tLysippus."
.sWhy art thou upon thy toes"
