Cold bath, and walk and breakfast, and I was on my way to the temple from which the great procession which I had come to aeo was about to start. Outside my hotel the first thing I saw was an old man swing- ing along with that free step which is so characteristic of the people here, where their logs are not hampered by long kimonos. He was dressed in the old- costumo of the Samurai, and, with the two swords in his belt, looked every inch the part.
Neighbours came out to greet him as he passed, and he returned th ir bows with a grace of courtesy not to be seen out. side Japan,

he might have been a Samurai. I told thy interpreter to ask, and it actually proved to be the case. He heard, moreover, that he was now so abjectly poor that lo was glad to earn the small fee that is given for walking in the procession. Yet his old- time clothes and his swords, which, despite the law's decrees, he had never parted with, brought back the touch and feeling of the days that were dead, and mado him forget that ho was masquerading. The old Richard for the moment was himself again.
Passing up a steep hill, and through the
colonnades of magnificent old pine trees, we reached a plateau in front of the temple. This plateau, where the procession was assembling to start, was of the dimensions of a great cathedral. The immenso straight pine trunks might have been colunins, and the light from the opening above suggested the mosque of Saint Sofia or the Pantheon.

It certainly must have been the most picturesque country in the world forty years ago, when the military wore clad in this elaborate armour, and carried those fan- tastic weapons. I got into conversation with a thickset, hornyhanded old fellow, who was thus elaborately caparisoned. Ho said he was seventy-four years of age, and had three sons, all of whom were now away fighting. Well he remembered the time, he said regretfully when these costumes were really worn. Those were the good old times, he said. He appeared to have no love or admiration whatever for the new order of things. Certainly, as far as the change of costume goes, I quite agree with him;
the billycock hat and European clothes are anything but an improvement. The procession was in honour of three Japanese beroes. The previous day three momorial caskets had been carried in pro cession to this temple, and they were now to be carried back.

One of the features of the proces sion was a grotesque dragon arranged on the Drury Lane pantomime plan having two men walking inside the skin.
When the procesion started, the route- was lined with crowds of people who throw monoy wrapped in paper into the portable shrines or caskets. The effect of the pro- Cossion with the crowd in billycooks and straw hata was not as good as at the temple, where the members of the procession were,

He never loses an opportunity of solemnly assuring you that his feeling for form or colour, or his partiality for bacon, is temperamental; that tempermentally he is incapable of listening to sermons or of playing the flute; that his learning towards Buddhism is temperamen. te, though it may not appear in his actions until at last you begin to feel that your aversion to him and to the word itself is temperamental in you, and that it is quite useless for you to struggle against it!

Persons of pronounced individuality tend, of course, to choose and employ unusual and distinctive adjectives, but the generality of people merely follow the fashion in their choice, and it would seem as though there was as little accounting for tashion in adjectives or adverbs as in ladies' bonnets.

UNCONTROLLABLE WORDS.
Florence Popham in the Chronicle says:- Adjectives you can do anything with!' said Humpty Dumpty to Alice, and he went on to inform her that when he made a word
do a lot of work he always paid it extra. Humpty Dumpty's mind and methods, however, were original, and it is certain that an ordinary mortal nowadays cannot do what he likes with an adjective, for, like children who have ceased to keep their place' through the injudicious behaviour of their elders, adjectives have become unruly and tyrannical, and even adverbs display a tendency to get quite flagrantly out of hand.
It would be difficult, no doubt, to treat such a large staff as a vocabulary with por fect impartiality, but think what a number of honest, reliable, and appropriate adjec tives and adverbs are literally dying for want of encouragement, or atrophying for want of uso, while others, like awful and awfully, frightful and frightfully, deceut and decently, grow fat, insolent, and out of hand through having too much attention bestowed upon them!
Supposing, like Humpty Dumpty. we paid our words on a Saturday night in pro- portion to the work they had done, how These favoured ones would swagger and bounce when they drew their vages, while others, just a serviceable, crept away empty-handed, or with merely a miserable

MOTHER
SEIGEL'S SYRUP
AIDS DIGESTION CURES INDIGESTION.
Relish for food and power to digest it are essential to sound health, for only by the digestion and assimilation of food can lost or worn-out bodily tissue be replaced and life sustained. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia or indigestion, both body and brain are starved, the patient becomes languid and weak, incapable of active, vigorous effort, or clear sustained thought. Headaches, loss of appetite, pains alter eating, fulness at the chest, palpitation, anemia and sleeplessness are but a few of the many disorders which have their origin in imperfect digestion and nutrition. Thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup, taken daily after meals, makes food nourish you. It gives tone and vitality to the stomach, liver and intestines, thus ensuring the thorough digestion and assimilation of food.
HAS CURED THOUSANDS.
"For three years 1 suffered greatly from biliousness and indigestion.. When I sat down to table 1 could eat hardly anything. Attacks of vomiting made me quite weak, and I was surprised at the change it effected in my condition. On rising in the morning I was seized with dizziness, and had on several occasions to go. Mack to bed again, I tried various remedies, but remained in quite the same condition. While at Cape Town, during the war, I heard of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I decided to give it a trial. After the first bottle the dizziness and billous feeling left me and I continued using the Syrup until I felt completely cured."E. Petersen, Lower End, Main Street, Johannesburg. March 29th, 1904.

The adventurer, of whom we write, was one of these minions, and by charactor he Was & bold, dashing, dare-devil fellow. The lust for gold was his all-absorbing passion, and to gain an ounce or two of the yellow metal there was no telling what he would not do. Withal he had a strong vein of 'honesty in his nature-a chum or co conspirator was safe with him, as long as his dealings were straight, but let a comrade play him false and his life would pay the penalty. Such a man suited the rovolutionary party, who dared not employ a man in whom they could not trust.
After his arrival in the Trineval he fell under suspicions; secrets were Jerk ing out and Van Harmun, as we will call our adventurer, was accused of betraying his party. Spies were set on to him, and he was kept under surveillance for a en- siderable period. Such treatment was irksome to Van Harun, and the culmin. ation of it was the celebrated Johannesborg shooting case, when one of the Juil family was shot.

That is what they have done in the case of medical equipment. At every tura admired the neatness and ingonuity of the material-the light, cleverly constructed stretchers, the way they pack their stores, and the completeness of the arrangements They pack their parcela better than any nation on earth.
Their medical field service is large and particularly well organised. They have no -women in the fleld hospitals,
All the attendants are trained men. As soon as war began they emptied all the military hospitals in Japan of their men nurses, who went to the front, and trained women took their places.
Their surgery is admirable. I saw the Russians who were wounded at Chewulpo and treated by the Japanese surgeons.
They have large universities in Japan, And many of their men have been trained in Germany or in the United States.
"The Japanese are naturally devoted to ritual, and the ritual of surgery is very elaborate. They have mastered it.
The Red Cross Society is marvellons organisation. It has branches all over Japan. It looks after the soldiers on their way to the front, and when the men were oing by train to the ports it posted up notices at all level crossings along the railways so that the villagers would know when the trains were due, and would thus be able to give the men a good 'send off' as they went by.'
Sir Frederick Treves added that the British War Office is to be congratulated on having sent out to Japan a high offices in the Army Medical Service to study the Ja panese methods. This is the first time such
course has been followed.

We note that the Committee have revised the stipulation regarding the number of prizes competitor is silowed to win by exept ing the two open Championships from the operations of the condition. As the rule formerly stood it certainly was absurd.
The Half-mile Championship was won last year by N. H. Alves, who beat .J. Witchell by four yards, the time being 15 minutes 313 secs. There was a strong tide running, however, which carried the swimmers out of their course. The race this year should result in a struggle between N. H. Alves and J. Witchell, but it is probable that Witchell will beat Alves. The race, given calm water, will be swum in about 11 minutes, if the competitors' training times are kept up.
The Swim Undor Water has attracted a large entry, and several of the entrants will finish close together. The brothers Witchell will be among the placed mon.
The 200 yards Championship of the Colony (won last year by O. Cooke, with N. H. Alves second, in 2 min. seconds) will be a close race, N. H. Alves and the two Witchells standing out as the best. C. Cooke and O. Humphreys will finish close behind the leaders.
It is also certain that he wont to England, for we find that he was trans. The Running Heador (won last year by ported to the Cape as an undesirable. F. W. White, F.

When Cronje was captured Van Harmun escaped to the northward, discretion being, to him, the better part of valour on that fatal day. Making his way to the Boer Headquarters he detailed the story of Cronje's loss, and took up his residence in Pretoria.
Ho was there attached to the Secret Service and appears to have done good work for the Boers, for when they left Pretoria, according to a story he subsequently told, he and another spy were left behind to secure information and, if possible, to buy over sympathisers from the British side
to the Boer cause. To effect this a consider- able amount of money was necessary, and a large quantity of gold bars, aggro- gating in value over £200,000, were left with them. In the dead of night, out ou the lonely voldt, when the kopjes partook of ghostly and ethereal shapes, the two men journeyed, taking with them a portion of the treasure. Time after time they vontured forth until the whole of the gold was transported safely. The gold securely

The High Dive lies between the same pair.
The race of the year-the 100 yards Championship of the Club-is certain to be an exciting event. Lapsley, we understand, will not start, and the contest will bo between the two Witchells, Cooke and Alves. We fancy Alves or J. Witchell will win. The inner last year was N. H.

This time is certain to be beaten this year, if conditions are favourable.
