JAPANESE ART.
Queer Effects of Tradition Upon
the Native Artists.

of Their Reepectlre School.-I’e-
callerltlee of Flower Work.
Japanese drawings of flowers—and
they usually draw them beautifully—
are often influenced in some way by a
tradition. The man who invented the
method was a true impressionist, writes
Alfred Parsons In Harper's Magazine,
lie seized what appeared to him char
acteristic of the plant, and Insisted on
that to the exclusion of other truths,
thus founding a mannerism which all
following artists imitated. In time,
what he saw as characteristic became
exaggerated by his disciples, who
looked at nature only through his eyes
and not with their own, and I have ob
served that the flowers which are most
frequently drawn are not so like the
originals as those less popular ones de
picted in bonks of botany and such
like, for drawing which there is no rec
ognized method, and where the
draughtsman relied entirely on his
own observation for his facta Take,
for example, the spots on the lotus
stems; if you look very closely you can
see that there are spots, but certainly
they could not strike every artist as a
marked feature of the plant, for they
are not visible three yards away. Hut
some master noticed them many years
ago and spotted his stems, and now they
all spot them, and the spots get bigger
and bigger; and so it will be until some
original genius arises who will not be
content with other people’s eyes, but
will dare to look for himself, and he
may perhaps, without abandoning Jap
anese methods, get nearer to nature
and start a renaissance in Japanese
art. The Japanese treatment of land
scape Is not more conventional that of
Claude or David Cox, or than the short
hand of our pencil sketches, bnt It re
cords facts In a different way.
The everlasting question in art Is the
Imitation of nature; it has never been
carried farther in certain directions
than by Millais and hts pre-Itaphaclite
brethren, or in others than by Manet,
Monet and the modern French, but no
one can put In everything; look at a
simple bnnch of leaves in sunlight
against a wall, and think how long It
wonld take to really imitate all their
complexities of form, color, and light
and shade; some facts can only be given
by Ignoring others, and the question
what is the Important thing which must
be insisted on Is the personal affair of
each individual artist in every country
where art Is unfettered and alive. Rut
in Japanese, as In Uyzantine and other
eastern arts, this question Is still de
cided by the oractice of past genera
tions, and It will take all the vitality
of a strong men to infuse new life into
it without destroying its many ex
quisite quail lies. Perhaps when Jap
anese artists absorb Its spirit instead
of merely trying to imitate Its methods,
western art may help in the direction
of freedom; at present I fear that its
Influence has done more harm than
good. The people are so quick to recog
nize the meaning of a few lines, and to
understand the poetic idea which they
suggest, that it is a wonder the artists
ever-learned to draw at all; they might
have been content with symbols, for a
few lines are enough to convey all the
poetry that is associated in their minds
with any of the well-known art mo
tives.
NEW USES FOR TURF.
It Is Mow Made Into Pspor, and Also
Into Cloth.
Paper is being manufactured from
straw, wood, corn stalks and innumer
able other articles. Now M. Beau
mont, a Frenchman, comes forward and
proposes to employ turf in the manu
facture of fabrics, and that, too, with
out previous spinning. Among the
methods said to be practical for this
purpose, one consists in taking turf ob
tained and prepared by any convenient
process, and of a staote of fiber suitable
for working, and twisting it either by
Tovlng or rolling, so as to give it the
appearance of a coarse cord, and this
rove is afterward woven so as to form
a fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing cloth, etc.
Another method consists in forming
with the fibers of turf a sort of wad
ding of any thickness whatever,
adapted to the kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it so as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; thisquilting firmly unites
the constituent fibers of the wadding,
converting the latter into a true cloth,
which ia both thick and flexible, and
adapted for use in the manufacture of
covert of all kinds, wrappers, etc.
They Were Bound to stoop.
There are no tables in the houses of
the Esquimaux, and the women are,
therefore, in the habit of placing
everything on the floor. A Danish lady
employed several Esquimau women
to do some washing. Entering the wash
house she saw them all bending over
the wash tubs that stood on the floor.
To make them more comfortable she
had some stools fetched and placed the
tnbs upon them. By and by she looked
In to see how they were getting on,
and, to her astonishment, discovered
the women standing on the stools and
stooping still more laboriously over
the tubs, which still remained on the
floor.
Just Alike.
In a suit for separation, counsel for
the plaintiff pleaded, among other rea
sons, Incompatibility of temperament.
Be depicted the character of the hus
band as "brute 1, violent and passion
ate.” The husband's advocate rose In
his turn, and described the wife os
“spiteful, short-tempered and sulky."
"Pardon me," Interrupted the Judge,
addressing both limbs of the law, *T
cannot see, gentlemen, where the In
compatibility of temperament comes
in."
THE BRAVE RESCUE.
A Tale of Now Vork , « Wster Front-Coo-
tributlon for llill'V hako.
It was nine o’clock in the morning at
one of the east-side docks, which was
crowded with people waiting for a
sound boat, says the New York Trib
une. Suddenly there was a cry from
those nearest the water, and, as all
rushed in that direction the first ob
ject they saw was a child's head rising
and falling with the waves, the hair
streaming out like a mass of seaweed.
■ She did not sink, yot every now and
then the yelling spectators could plain
ly see her struggling as the cruel wave*
broke over her. A rowboat was bead-
lug toward the Brooklyn shore and It
seemed as If it must have passed the
spot, but the oarsman's attention was
evidently elsewhere, for he neither
heard the cries nor turned toward the
perishing child.
Suddenly one of the hangers-on of
the boat-landing plunged in and parted
the waves with sturdy stVokes as he
quickly approached the child. He
reached her, and, resting her on his
strong back, began the return. Cheers
greeted him as It became evident that
his brave deed was not done in vain.
At this point one of the loafers took
off his hat and, passing In and out
among the crowd, requested a contri
bution "for Bill's sake." Everybody
felt that "Bill” should be rewarded,
and soon the hat had a good lining of
coin. As he finished his collection and
stood hat In hand attention was divid
ed between himself and the approach
ing swimmer. Sud denly he mounted a
pile of rope, and, gazing into the hat,
began to speak. "Friends, as I look at
wots In dishatderes nothin' bigger dan
a quarter. Now, most of youze Is rich,
ami how many would a dun wot Bill
did for a quarter? llez got a wife an'
five children ter home, and risked hiz
life ter de kid. Ize a poor man, but I
kin go more dan dat.” So saying, he
thrust an exceed ingly grimy hand into
an apparently empty pocket and
brought forth a dollar bill, which he
laid in the hat. His words had a salu
tary effect upon the crowd, men press
ing forward on all sides, and soon cop
per was replaced by silver, and silver
by bills. So that when the head of the
hero appeared above the pier, bearing
in his arms the dripping child, quite a
comfortable su m awaited him. He re
ceived it with a modesty which made
all hearts warm toward him.
The event probably would never
have been remembered except for an
incident a few weeks later. One of the
spectators was on the west side await
ing a friend when he saw the same
tragedy enacted—the drowning child,
the heroic rescue, the magnanimous
speech and the second collection. And
not only was the play the same, bat
the actors were also.
COLD FOOD FOR BREAKFAST.
Why the Early Meel In England Differ*
from That la America.
The English breakfast is a meal not
understood by ua. It may l>e served in
the dining room or In the library. It
Is more often “on call" than en fumille,
and there Is a total absence, even In
the highest circles, of formality In
dress or in service. The viands are, for
the most part, cold. The English will
tell you that this is because they have
learned that cold meats are more di
gestible than hot. and that it is vulgar
to eat a heavy meal early In the day,
bnt a shrewd observer In the New
York Times attributes their preference
to a combination of lazy servants and
old-fashioned stoves, which renders it
difficult to get a “heavy meal early In
the day.” Where hot dishes are served
they ore apt to be “minced veal," or a
few thin, crisp slices of Irish bacon.
These, with new-laid eggs, invariably
boiled or steamed, which latter Is done
at table, are all that are within reach.
The cold meata, consisting of ham,
tongue, “collared head,” etc., are
placed on the sideboard. As no serv
ant is expected to be In attendance at
this meal, the gentlemen of the family
go back and forth from table to side
board, serving those who ask for help
ings. The thoughtless, uninitiated
American might object to such con
fusion and Inconvenience, but John
Bull delights In an affectation of sim
plicity, and accomplishes Informality
in his usual clumsy fashion. Such a
convenience as a table bell is an un
known article of furnishing. Should
th# servant by any chance be wanted
when out of the room, even at dinner,
the mistress will rise from her chair
and crosa to the mantel, by the side of
which is an electric button, or bell
nunch.oommiinicatinff "-1**1 f he kitchen.
NOT A TARGET.
A Jury*
to Bolng
Went Him a Point Better.
A story is told on a prominent Ver
mont man who has on several occasions
been a candidate for official honors. A
man once approached him on election
day with the statement that if he had
about a pint of whisky, he thought he
eould vote a man for him. The candi
date gave up half a dollar in compli
ance. Later in the day, meeting the
man again, the candidate greeted him:
"Well, I suppose you voted your man?”
“No,” came the response, “the other
fellow had a quart of whisky and voted
mo."
^Who Ohjertvd
Pointed At.
In a New England courtroom one
afternoon an energetic counsel was
setting forth, in no measured terms,
his opinion of certain testimony which
had been given by one of the wit
nesses. As he talked he gesticulated
freely, and was particularly lavish In
the use of the forefinger of his right
hand, which assumed a decidedly
threatening aspect, as he progressed
in his speech.
Suddenly a tall, lank countryman,
who was directly in a line with this
S warning forefinger, rose from his seat
among the Jurymen.
“I jest tell ye what 'tis,” said he; “I
ain't done nothin’ I’m ashamed of. I
ain't done nothin' neicay of no kind, so
fur’s I know, an’ I ain’t a-goin' to set
here an' be abused. Ef yon say an
other word 111 jest light out fer
home."
"My dear sir," stammered the coun
sel, "my remarks were not Intended
for any member of the jury; they re
ferred entirely to the witness."
“Well, then, yon jest quit a-p'lntin*
your finger at me when you’re talkin'
like that,” said the lank juryman,
without appearing to be much molli
fied by this statement. “If yon do it
agin I’ll break np this 'ere court, or
my name ain’t Joahuy Bowber!”
And with a determined mien and fliy
In his eye Joshua Bowker at last sub
sided, and the counsel continued hia
harangue without farther Interruption.
The Moon Hu Been Maligned.
It was recently pointed out by Sir
John Hutton in his annual address to
the county council that In 18S9 there
were 16,041 panper and Imbecile asy
lums. January 1 of the present year,
however, these figtfres had been In
creased to 18,058, or an average increase
of 400 per annum. The rate of Increase
last year was strikingly in excess of
any previous year, and stood at not
I than 807, the blazing summer
months being considered responsible
| for this big jump in the figures. In
j spite of what the poets have said, it
I looks as If the sun had a more maligu
1 affect on human vita than the moon.
CYCLONIC POWER.
It Make* th* Mlgbtle*t Effort* ef Maa
Appear IntiguiflciMit.
Careful estimates of the force of a
cyclone, and the energy required to
keep a full-fledged hurricane in active
operation, reveal the presence of a
power that makes the mightiest efforts
of man appear as nothing in compari
son. A force fully equal to four hundred
and seventy-three million horse-power
was estimated as developed In a West
Indian cyclone. This, says the New
York Ledger, U about thirteen timet
the power that is creatable by all the
means within the range of man's ca
pabilities during the same time.
Steam, water, windmills and strength
of all men and all animals combined
cannot approach the tremendous force
exerted by the storm. The scientist
tells us that the force comes from the
latent heat of vapor which rises in the
center of the hurricane and is there
condensed. The fury of th# whirlwind
literally wrings the rain from the
clouds. There is always a much great
er area covered by the wind than that
embraced by the rainfall that usually
accompanies the cyclqne. Persons
with vivid Imaginations are fond of
conjecturing and speculating on Inven
tions by which rainfalls are produced
at the pleasure of the rainmakers, but
a moment's consideration will show
how puny are the efforts of man, and
how unavailing when It is taken Into
consideration that all the existing
power on the face of the earth at pres
ent within man's control would not be
sufficient to produce even a baby cy
clone, to say nothing of the full-fledged
and mighty devastations that some
times sweep over the country. Science
may cause a few drops of moisture to
condense and fall, but can never, un
der existing conditions, make a hurri
cane.
MYSTERY OF THE SUN.
Something That Selene* He* The* Far
Failed to Fathom.
Well might McPherson's ancient and
half mythical Gaelic poet, speaking,
eighteen hundred years ago, from the
mists on hts stormy hills, wonder at
and rejoice in the sun, says the Hart
ford Times. Nor has Osslan's early
question ever yet been answered;
“Whence are thy beams, O Sun! thy
everlasting light?” Modern science has
wrought damaging discussions about
the reality of alleged “miracles,” and
done much to establish the universal
reign of inviolable law; but of all mira
cles, what greater one Is there than the
calm persistence, through so many mil
lions of years, of this unfail Ing fount
of light and warmth? We no longer
deny or question the dootrine of Kant
and La Place concerning the origin of
our family of planets—for science ad
mits the truth of the conclusion, that
one after another, bnt at vast ages
apart, they were thrown off from the
sun—once a nebulous object filling all
the space to the farthest verge of Nep
tune's orbit (and perhaps farther), and
then a slowly condensing body, from
which the planet Mercury, or possibly
a still nearer one to the sun, was the
last to be thrown off, each and all
obeying the omnipotent magnetic law
that compels every planet to circle
aronnd the parent orb—the controlling
center ever keeping, like an earthly
parent, his youngest child nearest to
him. Bnt science has not yet told ns
how the central magnet perpetuates Ita
Infinite stores of light and warmth.
Osslan's question Is a question still.
Sometime perhaps the advance of
science will give us some knowledge of
the actual nature and condition of that
governing orb of our solar system.
STEAM POWER AT LONG RANGE.
Aa Instance In Which It Was Consulted
Forty-Five Hundred Feet.
The practicability of transmitting a
long distance a given amount of steam
is illustrated in an account recently
given by Mr. Coxe before the Society
of Mechanical Engineers. It seems,
says the New York Sun, that at a col
liery It was desired to carry steam to a
water works about forty-five hundred
feet over a hill from the boiler plant.
To do this a trough was made by
nailing the edges of two boards to
gether, so that they formed a right
angle, the trough being supported by
two stakes driven In the ground and
croesing just beneath the trough; the
pipe was laid in the trough, resting on
cast-iron plates, the pipe surrounded
by mineral wool, »nd a similar in
verted trough placed at the top.
To allow expansion a bend was made
to one side at the top of the
hill, and then It was turned back to
its original direction; a large receiver
was introduced in the pipe at the pumps,
made of three boiler sheets, and having
a diameter of thirty-four inches, and
serving also as a separator. As the ele
vation was some eighteen hundred
feet above the sea excessive cold
was experienced in the winter time,
the arrangements, however, fulfilling
the desired purpose, costing nothing
for maintenance and giving no trouble.
Astonished Males.
The other day at Lacon, HI., six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings of the
Spailand coal shaft were brought up.
The mules in all that time had seen no
light stronger than the flicker of the
little Davy lamps the miners carried.
The sun was in its zenith when they
reached the surface. The astonished
mules closed their eyes to shut out the
flood of strong light, and kept them
tightly closed while they were led to
the pasture lot a mile distant and
turned loose. There they stood trem
bling as if they were afraid something
evil was about to befall them. Pres
ently they half opened their eyea and
peered around in open-mouthed amaze
ment. When they had become accus
tomed to the sunlight they elevated
their heada. Toward sundown they
broke into a chorus of joyous brays.
After a quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums, and
rolling on the sod aa if they had gone
mad. The sun and pure air were more
to %hem than food, and they refused
everything m.t before them to eat
