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.

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.

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. Suppose, just for reflection, I tie
