When the poet writeth sonnets that set the soul afire, and the miltine | writeth dilla that set the husband afire. \ j When the hardened bachelor diggcth a moat around his heart and | falleth thereinto at the sight of his stenographer in her new spring hat. | When a man ceaseth to take highballe for the purpase of warming ui | and beginneth to take them for the purpose of cooling off.

A RAILWAY EMPLOYER in Japan, fecling himself Tospousible | .NO. 18,489 for some trivial delay of the Emperor's train at a railway | station, promptly committed suicide to show his loyalty and; the sense of his remissness. Acoording to the Japanese Advertiser, & Pokio newspaper, the case has given rise to a growing emount of | discussion, penetrating even to the upper house of the Japanese Dict. 4 ‘The old, conservative Japanese instinctively commend the act 4 0s chaming « fine spirit of devotion.

Ho 4 does not beliave in building monuments to encourege that kind of quicide. He recalle canes where school teachers have killed themecives because they filed to save the Emperor's portrait from. fire. . 7 “Logaity is all very welt,” the professor declares, “but an honor- able man’s life is more precious than a portrait.” He cites an old tale of the times when the Shogun’s hawk was held in such awe and Teveretice that the common people were wont to stand aside for the henorsBle falcon whenever they met it in the street. One day, how- | + $a & progrensive young knight had the boldness to declare, “I am an honorable man, and which is more precious, an honoreble man i ov em honorable bird?” ; ‘This eort of argument is making the professor exceedingly un- Ee populer in many quarters. 4 " We hasten to side with his view of the matter. A keen sense cf ; responsibility in officials is a great thing, of course, but we shudder at the consequences of applying this supreme Japanese form of self- judgment and atonement to our public servants!
