- CntANGE KINI9 IN JAPAN. FV*l l«n|in »l— nu Onnsaw A 81 rang* I'Hwl <«N»W W( 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.

Chil- dreu' wild with delight crowded up among tho performers and clung liko flies all over tho cart, and only that Provldonco which takes care of them, to gether with drunkards am! tho United Staten of America, preserved them from making a Juggernaut of it. On foot arouml-tlio baslii, os,tho whoio structure is called, were twenty or thirty men, naked as to their legs, their faces chalked, with straw hats n yard wide, many col ored t uulcs, in which scarlet predomi nated, decked out with paper streamers and flowers enough to rnako a Sioux • chief despair of himself, dancing along to a very rudo chant and at every step hanging upon tho ground a long iron bar fitted with looso rings. 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- tnnsof tho well to do peoplo of the neigh 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 oing . •, exactly as at Nioe or Venice. 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 “Ixt::-'. : with their Ucntc, soft tone.. i.nncute. nt.-i i'.iv heavy flat ■ilk <K . ,V‘. asl round t.ud round their waist and ending in a coto^il bow be hind; with their funny motion on their clipclapping pattens, hair undulating ran and half waddle, and their merry laughter and clutter—when ono sees them for tho first time, I ray. ono is usually delighted enough to follow them up and down for half on hoar under a fine proton*} of losing one’s way or look ing into tho shops.
