Keen Scent Of tho Dog.

A rabbit hears man and a dog
coming and goes bounding away for
safety. The dog strikes the scent,
smells around briefly and then is
off in the direction the rabbit has
taken. The wonder is not that the
dog should strike the scent, but
this: Each of the several spots the
RABBIT touched was touched by him

of smell of the dog that he can tell

SWORDS IN JAPAN.
In Former Years They Were Treated
Almost With Reverence.


Almost With Reverence.
In Japan until within recent
times the sword was considered n
badge of the aristocracy. The eti-
quette that regulated the wearing
OF the long and the short sword
was expressed in q number of mi
mute rules.
The most trivial breach of these
minute observanccs was often the
cause of murderous brawls and
dreadful rcprisals. TO touch an
others weapon or to come into col
lision with the sheath was dire
offcnse, and to enter a friends
house without leaving the sword
outside was a breach of friendship.
lie whose position justified the ac-
compartment Of an attendant in
variably left the sword in his charge
at the entrance, or if he were alone
it was usually laid down at the en-
trance. If removed inside this was
invariably done by the hosts scrv-
ants, and it was not touched by
the bare hand, but with silk nap
kin kept for the purpose.
The sword was placed upon a
sword rack, in the place Of honor
near the guests and treated with all
the politcncss due to an honorcd
visitor who would resent a discour-
tesy.
10 exhibit a naked weapon was
a gross insult, unless when gen
tlcman wished to show his friends
his collection. To express wish to
see a sword was not usual unless
the blade in question was of great
value, when a request to be shown
1T would be a compliment. The
sword would then be handed with
the back toward the guest, the edge
turned toward the owner and the
hilt to the left, the guest wrapping
the hilt either in the little silk nap
kin always carried by gentlemen in
their pockets, or in q sheet Of clean
paper.
The weapon was drawn from the
scabbard and admired inch by inch,
but not to the full length unless
the owner pressed his guest to do
SO, when with much apology the
sword was entirely drawn and held
away from the other persons pres
ent. After being admired it would
be carefully wiped with special
cloth, sheathcd and returned to the
owner as before.
The short sword was retained in
the girdlc, but at long visit both
host and guest laid it aside. Wash
