The Japanese do not expect to gather
grape« from thorns or figs of thistles,
but they phrase our thought» somewhat
differently. They say, “The spawn of
frogs will become nothing but frogs.”
We hive a saying. “Despise not tbe
day of small things.” Their “Famous
swords are made of Iron scrapings” is
much more picturesque.
Tbe idea of our “All lay tbe load on
tbe willing horse” they express by
“Tlioae who know the ropes do most of
the hauling.” While our commonplacs
“Out of evil g«x>d may come” finds with
them a fine poetical expression In “Tha
lotus springs from the mud,” and in
point of poignancy our “Adding Insult
to injury” Is vastly Inferior to their
“Rubbing salt on a sore.”
The Japanese bare some really fins
sayings worthy of universal acceptance,
such as “Thine own heart mak«*s tbe
world” or "The poet at home »«•«*» tbe
entire universe” ur "The throne of tbe
