IL has been said Of Mr.. Greenbie book
that in reality it is Japan revealed, and
certainly the reader who has been sup

mystical country. so long kept concealed
from the observation OF the rest oil the
world, will hold many of the interesting
things set forth by the author MS revea-
tions. They are SO different from the
other things he has read that he will be
markedly impressed by the recital.
But the reading of this story will carry
conviction to an unusual extent because
Mr. Greenbie did not go to Japan ms the
ordinary tourist or even the professional
traveller goes-with bis passage back home

and his pockrtbook lined with .'coin OF the

next dav was fortunate enough to obtain
employment, which made him at lenst
| certain of sleeping and eating place
during the remainder of his solourn there.
Then followed days OF intimate ac-
quaintance with the japanese people, for
Mr.. Greenbie, after soon firing of the
hotel, sought other quarters and lived
with Japanese in their homes, finally
taking n home for himself. He thus
mingled with the people in their daily and
| nightly lives he became acquainted with
them, end thcv became acquainted with
him. and he shows that IN the matter oi
