in thought our first steps on these en chanted shores and to experience once more surprise and of our first impressions Yet surely this should be an task To us Japan is truly a land Us its homes and temples its aits and its natural features of mountain and hill and shore are so peculiar to itself so distinctly national that when viewed for the first by eyes that are used only to he civilization of Western lands leave an im pression which can never be entirely faced the scenes may become fam iliar by long association and we may fed at home in their midst but the memory of the first thrilling glimpses ever fresh and distinct One clear bright morning in our steamer at anchor in he beautiful bay of Yokohama after twentyfour of battling with wind and wave since she steamed out of the late and heartily glad were we seatossed voyagers to scramble up on deck and feast our eyes once mote on a veritable land scape we hid had enough of sea scape to satisfy us for a long time to come The stretched its en circling arms towatcl us locking in the bright blue waters of the bay with its myriad sails both great and small far away on the horizon the majestic cone of towered heavenward uplifting wreath of sparkling now and the newly risen sun emblem of the land of our adop tion beamed upon us with a kindly smile It seemed in truth as though Nature with her thousand voices were bidding us welcome Our hearts beat high with hope and as we 1 as with a sense at our escape from the imprisonment ship and we the words of the classic wanderers of ago Oh rest ye brother mariners we will not wander more The bay was literally swarming with Japanese and rafts some large enough to bear a considerable cargo others so small that two men could scarcely find accommodation on their frail planks In strange con trast with these were the tiny steam launches plying back and forth be tween the large vessels and the shore the great ironclads from whose mast heads floated the flags of many na tions and countless merchant vessels laden with freight from every zone The East and the West japan and Europe were here brought face to face in strange antithesis The junks were propelled by men who worked a long oar set in a socket in the stern and the white soft gray or dark red satis with which some of them were provided furnished bits of color most restful lo half blinded by the expanse of sparkling glittering blue- Crowds of these crafts clustered round our steamer One Iage leaded with Sat baskets of coal moored alongside and the coal was being rapidly stowed away in the ships bunkers On another were baskets of small Japanese oranges the taste of which is sweat and agreeable Others had come to take off freight and luggage and a great bargaining was going on between the boatmen and the men our deck All these native boats with laughing good of both whose brown bright eyes and thick black Set off by the picturesque loose blue garments in which thdy were clad All heads were hare except for a knotted towel which in a lew in stances supplemented Natures gen erous thatch and the meagre brown legs and aims were exposed to cutting winds of that February morn ing in a way which made its shiver to sympathy The widespread poverty and nakedness of the coolie popula tion give the traveller his first sad im pression in this pleasant land It is not unusual to see men running with uncovered feet even in the snow while the young and old are so scantily clothed Winter and a Japanese Winter though blessed with an occasional balmy day noted for cold of a peculiarly kind that the foreigner finds himself wondering how they manage tj live at all Perhaps this is one reason for the prevalence of consump tion in and for the Universal colds and coughs among poor during the Winter months About eleven oclock we boarded a small steam launch belonging to one of the and were soon landed at a long stone pier called the Japanese Hatoba Then came the usual but none the less trying delay caused by the Custom House inspection of our luggage Finally the last trunk had been examined and chalked by the quiet native official in his neat blue uniform and we were free to go where we pleased and ex plore the longanticipated wonders of the city stretched before us from the low beach to the beautiful each topped with its rows of cottages and made green and pleas ant to the eye by groves of waving trees Perhaps the first feeling comes to the traveler newly landed in the of the Rismg Sun is one of surprise of disappointment the foreign appearance of every thing that meets his eye Surely he thinks to himself this city cannot be in Japan tbe land of thatched roofs and paper windows This well kept street lined with substantial build of wood or brick with- a goodly allowance of glass windows might belong to any English or American town This architecture is not Japanese It bears the unmistakable stamp the Western hand vulgar ized in style terhipi more colonial than provincial and with much orna mentation and bright coloring and some uncouth designing but still differing from that of Europe or America in not even the slightest characteristic which might be termed wholly Japanese A high dogcart driven by a typical Englishman pass es us on smooth roadway yonder is a pony carriage in which are seat ed a lady and two fairhaired children and a fat coachdog trots lazily be hind How wonderful we reflect is the adaptability of the AngloSaxon to all countries and climes although it is not so much that be falls easily into the ways and customs of other peoples as that he begins to gather about him the comforts and conveni ences of the home he has left the moment he takes up his abode in a sttanae land We have little however for reflec tion for our fellow passengers are already getting into fmruma be whirled away and with a sigh of re lief we acknowledge that here at least is something purely Eastern some thing which quite meets our expecta tions We had often read of these lightrunning and so had grown familiar idea of the novel locomotion is two- wheeled vehicle much like an old style babycarriage and if drawn from the front It has a cushioned seat and a movable top for use in wet weather supplemented by a apron within which one is quite safe and dry and somewhat smothered withal no matter how severe the storm outside The run- without resting can only be accounted for by wonderful development of the muscles in their lower limbs re sulting from many years of exercise and by the ingenious construction of which is so perfectly balanced as lo require very little force to keep it in motion on the level the weight of the occupant act ing as an Impetus to urge it forward It if that the as in vented by a Christian missionary in China and judging from iu univer sal adoption one must infer that it filled a want The Japanese certainly show thfcir appreciation of the invention by their extensive use of the number of these vehicles in alone being about thirtyeight thousand Although one soon grows accustomed through everyday use to this mode of travel the idea of being drawn by a in place of a dumb beast is always painful and it is a comfort to know that there is a steady increase in the number of railways tramcars and omnibus lines in places where of old the jinti alone pre vailed TO adequately the impres sions of the next few weeks would prove ft difficult matter With a limited Of adjeciives at com mand One Often pauses irresolutely fearful of repetition where so much is wonderful ingenious picturewjue We soon found thai al though Yokohama and certain lies have a large extent lost their national characteristics through presence of aft aggressive foreign population and the influence of fflariy natives who have lived in Europe or America there are yet whole streets and especially in tba capital where Japanese goes in rtive as it in towns and villages Such places are interesting and I cannot describe the one feels in thus coming face to face a civilization so entirely different from our- own that the reader migtit come with me to the stately woods of in where winds murmur through a wilderness of grand old pine trees thai cannot be matched in other lands these huge- pines stand sighing always as keep watch over the gorgeous temples trees and fanes alike fit monuments to the powerful- Shoguhsl lords who lie buried in their shadow Of that we might follow course of the wide moat which is Constructed in a -feudal- age to protect the all- powerful to time of- wary this enclosed by its green banks and overhung with trees now en circles the palace of the peaceful Mikado Such things to see one fancies the reader would seriously incline perchance he might prefer to wander between the rows of neat houses in the quieter streets and to enter with me one of wide doorways for a el iuipse of family life and habits in Japan We will find the inmates of the house young old gathered about a bronze AioaeAi or open fite- They are all sitting with their feet under them On the straw mats which are of the whitest and neatest description We have left our boots at the door of course for even a Western mind would shrink from crossing that fair expanse in rough bo its to say nothing of the impro priety of leaving muddy tracks on your hosts chairs and tables for the Japanese use the mats in place of both these articles of furniture A trim Utile servant maid announces us on bended knee Instantly mine host salutes us with true Oriental courtesy by bowing until his forehead touches the mat before him and remaining so in respectful homage while he murmurs soft conventional words of welcome The rest of the family now follow his example all remark able for a slow grace of motion that calls forth the admiration of one used to manners of a more nervous hur ried type We are especially interested in our pretty ovalfaced hostess in her plain crepe gown and in the brighteyed brownskinned children who remind one of gailycolored butterflies in their dresses of blue and scarlet On a ledge at one end of the room is a of bronze containing a few branches of the cherry tree in full bloom and on the wall over that hangs an illuminated scroll One of the sliding paper windows being open catch a glimpse of a tiny garden at the back with stone and waterfalls all in miniature the whole occupying a space only few yards square Tea is brought in on a lacquer tray and the tiny tea pot hotwater kettle and cups seem quite dainty enough for a dolls teaparty The tea delicious tea such as can be gotten only in Japan is offered deferentially and The boundary line between them and second or even third perceptions is in some instances so dimly denned as to be well nigh intangible To say however that from the first we were filled with wonder and delight by all we saw is not beyond the truth Wo were competed to admire every creation of this artistic people whose arrangement of the most common place details of domestic furniture dress and architecture not as other nens but picturesque attractive and unique and our hearts went out in approval of every gentle unselfish custom of their national etiquette Yet this is not the highest praise of which the Japan of today is worthy It is not by first impressions that we can measure the sterling qualities which make up the true greatness of a nation As a Japanese editor has well said wc feel that in dwelling exclusively upon the wonderful art of the Japanese or upon the charming politeness of their quaint ways we do an injustice both to the country and toils people It is as though we were to declare that these things admirable as they are include all there is to praise The foreigner who his dwelt many years among the Japanese admires their art and their gentle manners as much as he did a first but he has learned by his long and intimate sojourn in the land to esteem the people chiefly for their devotion to their country and desire to see her ia the foremost rank of civilization not by borrowing but by assimilating what is best So the ideas and customs of other nations To place her such an enviable position her sons are devoting heart and with energy wisdom arid selfsacrifice S New Potatoes I EST A wire nail ami screw factory is erected at Port Hope Ontario being William recently bonus

million feet of lumber were used in the construction of the building which is of the ordinary crib style The elevator is equipped throughout with lights and is completely furnished with all styles of
