The following, under the heading of "The Japanese Language hi One Lesson;" is from the Japan Jfcrald: "Arimas means everything. Arimasen means nothing. Wakarinias means to understand in all its moods, tenses, persons, etc. It is a whole conjugation in one word. Wakarimasen is the opposite of Waka rimas. Dckimas means unlimited potentiality, past, present and future, and can be made to express anything. It also is a whole conjugation in itself, and can be applied to everything and everybody (yourself included). l)eki masen means, of course, everything that dekimas doesn't mean. Ka is a vocal noto of interrogation, and can be tacked on to anything. Ano-no can be thrown in anywhero lo make conversation. After going through the above course the student is competent to say anything. When being spoken to or answered it is advisable to exclaim Hoi (long), hai (medium), or ha (short), which expresses surprise, wonder, as sent, sympathy, absorbing interest, honor in factj the whole gamut of feelings care bciug taken to ejacn late it in a different tono every timo (minor scales preferable) with a varied and appropriate facial expression, the cue for which must bo taken from tho face ot tuo speaker. When tho student is not speaking, this word properly played upon will keep the other man going all tho time. ADVICE TO 3IOTHEK. AIRS.
