ROTHSCHILDS OF THE EAST Mitsul Family of Japan Is Famous for Unsullied Honor of Their Name. The Mitsul family of Japan have been called the Rothschilds of the East; but while the fame of the lat- ter has gone abroad over the world, says the Atlantic Monthly, the Mit. suls have remained practically un- known except to a few western mer- chants who have had extensive deal- ings with the Orient. The European family owes its great renown to the fact that for a century there has been no slightest stain up- on is commercial honor. But its ca- reer, it should be remembered, has been passed in a world where busi- ness itself bas been held in honor; while the Mitsuis, engaged in a pur- suit utterly condemned by public sen- timent, for three centuries, in spite of the demoralizing influence of the so- cial ban, have been trusted by govern- ment and people alike and have kept the honor of their name unstained. Now, thanks to the new spirit anl- mating the nation, they mno longer stand so consmcuously alone. Other great commercial families ll"e being ranged with this one, their mem- bers not only enrolled among the peers of the realm, but ranking with | the merchant princes of the west as | exponents of all that is honorable in the conduct of mercantile affairs. To their number are yearly being added many of the Samirai, or nightly chiv- alry of old, who once scorned all con- tact with trade, but who are now re- turning to bring to the rescue of their country the fine sense of honor in which they were educated under the ancient regime. That they will even- tually succeed in their task, backed as they are by the instinct of common honesty pervading the rank and flle, there can be no manner of doubt. KIND PEASANTS OF BRITTANY Will Willingly 8hare With You Con- tents of Cupboard and Will Not Ask for Pay. In Brittany all peasants carry their own knives; and as for forks, they have no use for them. George Whar- ton Edwards tells, in “Brittany and the Bretoms,” of a visit to an inn where he met with the proverbial Breton hospitality. An old withered Breton woman sat | at the fireside, busily knitting at a Jersey of blue wool, and three men sat at a table, playing some sort of game with dominoes. The men gave no apparent heed to eur entrance, but I knew we were be- ing discussed in thelr patols. We asked for bread, butter and & | pitcher of cider, which was forth- coming, but no knives were brought. Noting our predicament, the three men at once produced their knives, immense horn-handted affairs, and aft- er wiping them very. carefully and conslderately on their coat sleeves, they opened and proffered them to us. “And now, madame,” said I, “what shall T pay you?” “Five sous for the cider, m'sieur. There is no charge for the bread, for is not that the gift of bon Dieu?” Thus it is throughout this strange land of Brittany. One may travel from end to end away from the large citles, and everywhere meet with the same hospitality. The peasant will willingly share with you what he has in the cupboard, and will not ask for pay. I left an offering of silver upon the ‘window sill among the balls of wool en yarn, ‘The Call of Duty. “I try to do my duty,” sald the ex: ceedingly sincere person, “and I do not hesitate to remind others of their duty.” “Go ahead,” replled the easy-going cltizen. “You may prove to be a very useful member of soclety. But when you get through you'll have about as jmeny sincere friends as an alarm clock.” SAFE REMEDY ENDS GATARRH MISERIES Gives Instant Relief, Cures and Pre- vents Catarrh and Cold in the Head. .
