' 2 THE JAPANESE DO NOT KISS. Osculation llegurded as the lleinl* of ll:ol Maimers and Foolishness. In a recent number of The Fai East, published in Tokyo, a contributor, Sminiasa Idic'al, wht writes excellent English, relates souk of the surprising adventures union; the rising race of the West, says Tin Chicago News. He describes tin horror of English women of bis ac quaintauce when he told them thai he had never kissed his mother ii all his life. "The llrst tiling an Eng glish child learns is he w to kiss." In says. "The first thing a Japanesi child learns is bow to bow." Kiss kig is not practiced in Japan, he to hi his English friends, not because tin people are stony-hearted, but be cause "it is regarded as the height of bad manners." The kiss in Japan, it seems, is lit only to be bestowed upon young in rants uy tneir mothers. "A Japanese mother is often seen to kiss the baby In her arms," says this Japanese writer, "but when the baby leaves its mother's arms?that is, when it can get along by itself and feels a sort of senil-eonscionsness?it would not allow its mother to kiss it." lie mentions the complaint of Western visitors to Japan that "we Japanese expose too much our natural bod' Though tlie natural body "is one of the best beautiful forms on earth," the Japanese crlti of kissing eoncedes that it should not be too much exposed. He adds: "Our natural feelings are really exquisite. Their exposure beyond a certain limit, however, is equally offensive to our sense of decorum." Much of the kissing that he observed in England 'istressed this sonsiti\? Japanese not a little. "When I saw," he writes, "011 old couple, with care-worn faces and tottering steps kissing each other on the pavement of the London street I could not help feeling rather unpleasant. I cannot give an adequate reason for it, but somehow I do not feel pleasant when I see the conventional custom of kissing between married people kept up to old age." Surely it is impossible for a Westerner to fathom the Oriental mind. Tliis Japanese observer got into an odd predicament through other people's kissting. 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," lie relates, "tlin twr* lirm rlo e-imn ol/xeo*. 1 wore finally lost behind the girl's hat. I knew what was going on behind the seonos, so I stopped short anil protended to he looking another way so as not to disturb their happy stato. Now and then I turned toward tin seene to see if it was already over. I was in this predicament for about half an hour (it seemed so long to tne.l but the two heads still remained in close attachment. At last I gave up waiting till the end of the scone and crossed the field, taking another path."

The farmer makes some queer mistakes about the little folks of fur and feathers who lie on his domains. For j Instance, he calls the field mice his , enemies because they make their nest : I in his clover field. But wait until spring comes. The bumblebees will | fit up the empty rooms of the small , mansions and proceed to raise large | and industrious families there. Kvery- j I body knows that the bumblebees for- j i tilize the clover blossoms, flying from , one to another, and dlsributing the | yellow pollen dust that clings to their feet, bodies and other parts. There is a funny old saying in the rural districts, that tells the whole story in a few words: "No cats, no | clover." The cats kill the meadow mice ?the mice give homes to the bumblebees?the bumblebees insure a perfect clover crop. Some farmers hate the sparrowhawk, and say he steal the chicken. As a matter of fact, this bird lives mostly upon small mammals, mice, chipmunks, squirrels and the like. He is a fine rnouser, and is often seen hoering above a certain field, then sud-1 denly swooping down, and flying off I with not a chicken but a tiny meadow mouse.

He fl has a reputation as a poultry thief, I but In reality his food consists most ly of vermin, and all sorts of insects. Nature evidently fitted him for the work of destroying insects, instead of robbing lien roosts. The mink is another creature with " ! an evil, but ill deserved reputation. Both mink and skunk are "mighty hunters" of small game, being bitter enemies of rats and mice. Many other creatures that seem to ,j be mischief-makers, and are hunted end killed by the farmer, are in reality his best friends, his helpers in disguise, and they deserve his good wishes instead of his hatred. Iaihor. Spartanburg Herald. At the hasis of all human wealth lies labor. In order to have what he j wants, man must work. This is true of material wealth. | for there may be no homes, no food, < no clothing, no tools except as liu- ; man hands extract and elaborate these tilings from the raw resources nature provides. < It is true of invisible, intangible * wealth, for there can be no culture, ^ 110 science, no literature, no art, no i music, except as human minds and hearts labor patiently for development under the discipline that alone confers power. i l. It is true even of character itself, , for lie who should grow up in effortless ease would have no strength, no j firm structure upon which character .?, might be based. * Labor Is a price every child of the N race must pay for every possession it worth possessing .'it all. There are a tc few, a very few. to whom possession comes without labor on their part, it but even here the possessor Is him-' 1 self without the power to use and appreciate what lie possesses unless en he lias somewhere at some time St known much labor for some pur- i pose. ]??, Yet not nil who labor secure re-! or wards commensurate with their la-j j-j, hor, for some pet more and many pet ja less than the value of their work. 18j Why should it he so? Kj, This Is in part like the unseareh- | jn able problem of why some are horn ! t,t pifted with every prace and talent 1 m while some are horn pathetically ungtfted. A vast amount of labor lacks wise direction by intelligent judgment and goes for nothing through no moral 111 fault of anyone. Labor that is guld-1: 1 ed by far-sighted brains often Rath- I ers a reward, which becomes tlie envy t0 of untintelligent toilers. Hut this is ~ the law of our world. Unless a man climbs the mountain in a good light, lie will lose much labor in stumbling "t and wandering far from the direct , cc way. Education is the light that I hi lights every toiler's path and reduces i Y< his labor at the same time that it. th increases his returns. w Then. too. a vast amount of labor, th is robbed of its deserved reward. Only as men advance in submission to law and law itself progresses In breadth and accuracy, controlling all members of society, will most of this O injustice be cured. Meantime, be it intelligent or stu- ta pid, well or evil meant, richly or po scantily rewarded, the murmur o' | wl busy toil must never cense from the ed earth.
