CntANGE KINI9 IN JAPAN.

In Yokohama U u long bmUmidealM
the "BUMd," bmwuWd it «K>h and by •
JpUy or pier called the "Ha tola," with a
plnisant woudiil lilU to Um left known ai
Uw "BluIT." dotted with white house*.
Tlie harimr or b»y Usslf b a circle at |
water jxrlutpa three miles wile—big
enough »t any rate to be so rough in
windy weather tliht the ships liaro to get
up slenm and go to tea for aafetr.
To oome now to “ftrst Itnpnasions;"
there are, of counts, two kinds of them.
There ere the mere sense Itnpteeslons,
the things which strike the eye and caa
os strange, and there are the ‘‘first lm-
prcsslons," which mean the conclusions
springing to the mind when the exter
nals are first understood. The former
.class of these “first lmpreeeions" getter-
’•By attach themselves to very trivial
matters, but they are often not the lees
entertaining for all this. - The first thing,
for instance, that I noticed in Japan was
the enormous hats of the coolies, and
next the ludicrous combinations of
European and foreign dress worn by
many young members of the middle
class. A pot hat, a cotton wrapper ot
bath gown—tho yukato—a pair of long
stockings and boots—that was a common
mixture, tho wearer ovidently and
rightly tldnklng that he had adopted the
best points of both .systems. An
hour after landing, too, a re
mark made to mo by on educated
Japanese gentleman on- the Belglo
recurred to me. I had awed him if the
coming constitution for Japan was likely
to intnnde tdaMtqr -jury. "After you
have seen Japan," he replied, with a
■mile, '"yea won’t ask that question.” I
mean by this that 1 was struck with tho
tact that the common people of Japan,
OBUrtHbluf and clover ana civilised as
they are in many ways—the bowers of
wood and drawers of water and pullers
of jerlnkishas—are upon a different piano
from tho common people at homo. One
might say that thoy live in two dimen
sions, whereas trial by jury, not in its
origin, but In its significance today, is a
three dimension idea. Moreover, the
rulers ot Japan sco that trial by jury is
often a failure or a farce with us, and
thoy have no wish to educate tho people
up to it
In Japan there are almost as many re
ligious festivals aa in Spain, and one of
there—matsuri is their gencrio namo—
was being celebrated tho other day in the
Japanese town. I went to look for it
with my dcteotlvo camera, and when I
met it 1 could hardly beliovo my eyes—
it corresponded more to one’s idea of New
Guinea than of Japan. Upon an ordinary
bullock cart a raised platform and scaf

Tho colors, tho song, tho danco, the
musio ami tho clanging iron formed to
gether nspectaclo os barbarous intasto
as possible, something wholly different
from what ono had supposed tho gontio
culture of tho Japnneso to bo. At tho
timo I was greatly puzzled, but subse
quently I learned that this mntsuri is not
so barbarous ns it looks. I took it to bo
a serious religious ceremony. I found
that it had just as much to do with relig
ion an mi Italian carnival has—that is,
it was horn of religious feeling and lias
entirely forgotten its ancestry. Bud
dhism, which is the religion of tho com
mon people, has always ployed to tho
gallery, 60 to speak, and tho priests of
today mako money out of thomatsuri,
partly in tho ahapoof tho coins which
uq thrown into‘tho tcmplo ponds and
partly from their shore of the subecrip-

borhood, by whom tho festival is sup
ported. Tho affair is thus a Japanese
carnival, whore people drink sako and
S lav the fool themselves or watch others

Siuiicount of "first impressions," too,
would be complete without an illusion to
the grace ana charm of tho Japanese
women. Tho first timo one sees a couple
of prottv and prettily dressed Japanese
girls walking abroad under their huge
variegated paper umbrella, with llimr
elaborately dressed black buir, their per
fect titiv Imnds and fir;, their large
brown eyes—set obUqutly if they are
