Principles of the Samurai Code of Honor Govern from Childhood Up Are Early Taught the' Arts of War. Every Japanese, be he noble or pk-be-ian, must now serve his terra in the army. Nor are the officers an exclusive casto, for promotion is open to every man who will take the trouble to tarn it. Hut it happens in the Japanese army, as it. happens in the English and the German, while every private sniiik-r is free to become an officer, the idt bulk of the officers do, as a matter of fact, states the Urookljn Eagle, come from a restricted section. In En-!aml it is the upper and middk' cless; in Japan it is the samurai samurai still, whatever the edict and constitutions may say. In the very fiber of their being the traditions of Bushido the code of honor which was the religion of the samurai remain. Although Bushido, with its fortitude and its punctilio, its odd mixture of the Spartan and the Quixotic, Is no longer a recognized sys tem, its spirit remains, and these are the principles that are expected to count so much in meeting a foe supposed to be so much stronger numerically. Those who are not less than 35 years old were taught their Bushido at their mother's knee, and many of the younger men, coming of the same warrior stock, are imbued with the principles of the code. The samurai began his training at a very tender age. Young children were sent among strangers with messages to deliver; they were made to rise before the sun, and to walk to their teachers with bare feet in the cold of winter; small boys were taken to see executions, and sent back alone to the place by night to leave a mark on the decapitated head. Sometimes they v.-ere made to go without food, and taup-ht that a samurai should not be ashamed to be hungry. Self-control, courage, fortitude, loyalty were the cardinal virtues. Every samurai counted it a plain duty to sac rifice himself for his lord. The young samurai were taught fenc ing, archery, jin jutsu (clutching such part of the enemy's body as will make him numb and incapable of resistance), horsemanship, the use of the spear, tac tics, caligraphy, ethics, literature and history. He was not to think of money; ig norance of the value of different coins was a token of good breeding, lie was taught, to forgive injuries, but he was also taught to hold his honor sacred, and to defend it at all times and at all hazards. To win honor and to avoid shame, the samurai would go to any lengths. Naturally, the man with a sword and Quixotic notions of honor was not al ways as gentle as he might be with those who assailed that honor. It is related that a citizen called the attention of a Bushi to a Ilea jumping on his back. Forthwith the Hm-'hi cut him in two, and afterward explaimd his reason by a syllogism: "Fk-as an- parasites which feed on animals; he ?aid a flea was on me; and it is an unpardonable insult to identify a noble warrior with a beast." The sword was the so;il of the samurai, and the swordsmith w orked as if he were performing holy rites. Under certain conditions suicide was the plainest duty, and elaborate cere monials were laid down for the man ner in which it should be done. The women also were taught that death is a better thing than shame. WILD LIFE OBSERVATION. rasa Administratrix's Notice. In the County Court of the State of Oregon, or Morrow County.

Good observers are probably about as rare as good poets, says John Burroughs, in "On Humanizing the Animals" In Century. Accurate sit-ing an eye that takes in the whole truth, and nothing but the truth Low rare indtl it is! So few persons know or can tell exactly what they see; so few persons can draw a right inference from an observed fact; so few persons can keep from reading their own thoughts and preconception into what they se; or.ly a jx.-rt.oi. witn tlio scientific habit of mind can bo trust ed to report things as they are. Most of us in observing the wild life about us, soo xti or or stf ks of the truth. We see less wlun our mii ds are dull, or preoccupied, cr biurt' d by want of in terest. This is true of :r. st country po plo. We sw more wh-,, ve read tht live of the wild crt-atuns about us in the light of our human ex; t rience, and im pute to the birdts and 1- arts human mo tives and methfxls. This is too ofum true- of th- eager city n an or woman who ?a'dies out into the country to study na ture. The tendency to F nf :n r.talize nature has in our tnm largely taken the place of the old tei.den.cy t (kmoi.ize and spirit ire it. It is at tl r.-i'morphkm in another form, less fr.v-ht with evil to us, but erjuaky in t! way of a clear understanding of the hi- about us.
