. STUDY OF JAPANESE.
Difficulties of the Spoken and the
Written Language.
Army officers who are tblnkiug of
taking up (he study of Japanese should
! pause before they attempt the task
and ask themselves whether they have
a peculiarly strong linguistic aptitude.
! Even the Japanese tind their language
rery difficult. The Anglo-Saxons who
growl about the difficulties of our spell
lug and favor the slmpUtled system
would never live If they had to under
go what the subject of the mikado suf
fers la the matter of language.
It takes a Japanese child seven years
' to learn the essential parts of the
alphabet. There arc 'J14 signs which
serve the same purpose as initial let
ters in English dictionaries. Then
after yon have tracked down in one of
these 241 signs some part of the char
acter for which you are about to
make a search you still have a veri
table darkest Africa ahead of you.
The pompous tirst personal pronoun is
avoided whenever it Is possible In
speaklag Japanese. If it must be
used it Is Introduced casually, but gen
erally the abstract nouu "selflshuess"
serves in its stead.
For example, a Japanese would not
say, "1 don't drink wine," but "Wine
don't drink." or, if this Is not clear
enough, "Selfishness wine don't drink."
Reference to your possessions must be
; deprecatory. Thus if a man wishes to
point out bis own resldeuce be says,
?That miserable house," which, of
coarse, could refer to no other than his
own.
Oo the other baud. "That beautiful
house" would easily identify the house
as belonging to some one else. More
over. any one who wishes to learn
Japanese must be prepared to learn
two languages? the written aud the
spokeu. The one differs so materially
from the other that If a Japanese is
reading a book or newspaper and
wishes to do so aloud it becomes nec
essary for hiui to trauslate the written
words Into the colloquial, to be able
to read auy of tbe higher class Japa
nese newspapers It Is necessary to
master at least from 2.500 to 3,000
Ideographs.? Army and Navy Journal.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kopt the kidneys in good
health since, can bo relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. F em ton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
ment for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm oil 1 then said In their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on ono occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. Tbe unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When 1 learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
