CAMOENS, The Lusiad. AL de When Columbus sailed westward to find a shorter route to the Indies, he was thinking as well of the fabled Zipangu of which Marco Polo had heard at the court of Khublai Khan. Leaving San Salvador and sighting Cuba, the great admiral was sure that Zipangu's palace, with its roof, floors and windows “ of gold, in plates like slabs of stone, a good two fingers thick," was near at hand. Fortunately for us, Japan was held in reserve for this century and this generation, and this exquisite country — different in itself from the rest of the world and all this side of the planet, as quaint and unique, as beautiful and finely finished as one of its own netsukes or minute works of art – delights the most jaded traveler and charms every one who visits it. Columbus failed to find this Zipangu, or Jeh Pun, the Land of the Rising Sun; but Pinto did in 1542, and made possible the work of St. Francis Xavier and the early Jesuit fathers, but for whose interference with political affairs the country would not have been closed to all for- eign intercourse until Commodore Perry's visit in 1853. The sperm whale was the innocent factor in this great result, and after quoting Michelet's praise of the whale's service to civilization, Nitobe* says, " that the narrow cleft in the sealed door of Japan, into which Perry drove his wedge of diplomacy, was the rescue of American whalers.” From providing a grudging refuge for shipwrecked and castaway mari- ners, Japan now welcomes visitors from all the world and bids them enjoy an Arcadia where many things are so strange and new that one might as well have journeyed to another planet. Within a few years, pleasure travelers around the world have more than quadrupled in numbers, and a girdling of the earth is now the grand tour, which a little round of continental Europe used to be. The trip to Japan for Japan's sake alone is altogether an affair of these later days. “More travelers, better ships ; better ships, more travelers,” is an old maxim in shipping circles, and there is proof in the increasing number of trans-Pacific passengers and the presence of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's fleet of Empress steamships which carry them across the greater ocean. With their close connection with the company's transcontinental railway a new era of travel began. There is every inducement and temptation to make the circuit of the globe, and Japan fairly beckons one across and along this highway to the Orient. With but two changes, one may go from Hong Kong to Liverpool, more than half way around the globe; and from Hong Kong to the Atlantic steamer a uniform decimal system of coinage solaces a tourist's existence. Time and distance have been almost annihilated by modern machin- ery, and the trip from New York to Yokohama takes no longer now than did the trip from New York to Liverpool but a few years ago. Ten days after leaving Yokohama the Empress of Japan had arrived at Vancouver, and in less than fifteen days from leaving Japanese shores its passengers were in New York and Boston. Inside of sixty days one may leave New York, cross the continent and the Pacific, spend four weeks in the cities and famous places of Japan, and return again to New York ; where, if he commit himself to Atlantic ships and waves, he will remember and more keenly appreciate the delights of the Pacific voyage. Each year is Europeanizing and changing Japan, and the sooner the tourist goes the more Japanese will he find those enchanting islands. *“Intercourse Between the United States and Japan,” by Inazo (Ota) Nitobe. John Hopkins, Pren., 1891. Baltimore. LAKE view of the continent beside him, and with his own pencilings by the way on its blank leaves, it becomes the complete journal and record of his days on the overland train. There is a new object lesson in geology and botany to be studied through car windows each day, and much of ethnology as well. For the first day the train races through a half- covered glacier garden, and the marks of the great ice sheet that ground down the Laurentian slopes are so plain that one expects some next turn to show a rumpled ice stream pouring through a ravine, rather than another lake encircled by the forest. On the second day, the glacier garden continues on a larger scale, and on the left the view ranges out over that inland sea, the vast blue Lake Superior. The north shore is the paradise of sportsmen and anglers, and one glimpses lakes, clear SUPERIOR. "Oh white streams and rushing rivers whose names are synonyms for trout — six-pounders, too. At Fort William, the travelers who have chosen the lake route from Owen Sound across Lake Huron and through the picturesque Sault Ste. Marie to Lake Superior, join the train, and at Moose Jaw, away out on the prairie, the Chicago and St. Paul and Middle States contingent via the “Soo Pacific" Route are waiting. As the train fills with other trans-Pacific voyagers, each tourist is convinced that all the world is bound for Japan, and that his particular party is but a fraction of some great excursion. Winnipeg, the prairie city, distanced all records of booming towns when the railroad reached the Selkirk Settlements on Red River, isolated for a hundred years in the heart of the conti- WINNIPEG. nent. A busy western city grew like magic around the old Hudson's Bay Company fort, and instead of exchanging beads and paint with Indian trappers, that mercantile corporation displays the latest fashions in plate glass show windows and maintains a general store for city needs. The main street, with its handsome buildings, its large hotels, electric lights and electric cars, is busy at all times of the year, but most picturesque in midwinter, when everyone wears fur garments and sleigh-bells jingle in the dry, electric air. Winnipeg is the central station and half-way house of the continent, and after over an hour's rest one takes a fresh start on the journey with freshened cars. All beyond that point is the far, golden, remote, wide West, full of wonders, pictur- esqueness, wild life, and adventure. The prairies, level as placid seas or rolling like the ocean in its storms, stretch un- broken to the base of the Rockies. a mile and a half through the woods and, mounting the grimy ice cliffs, wander as far as he will over the crackling surface. Asulkan, “the home of the mountain goat,” rises behind the hotel, but that nervous beast, as well as his colleague, the big horn sheep, have taken to further pastures since the iron horse invaded their realms and began its inces- sant shrieking and tooting on the grades of the Illecillewaet Cañon. It is a magnificent crescent, by loops and curves and amazing turns, past shelves where one looks straight down two hundred feet to the Illecille- waet in its narrow flume. Then there opens the broad REVELSTOKE, valley between the two mountain ranges where the young Columbia pours its current southward. The town of Revelstoke is an alternative point of departure for “ The West Kootenay country,” and the company has erected another of its model hotels on a terrace beside the railway station. There is a fine view from its piazzas down the great valley, and the shimmering heights converging in far dis- tance easily suggest what the scenery of the lakes must be. A branch line of railway leads to Arrowhead, where swift and comfortable steamers convey the tourist and his camera, the miner and his pack, through the lakes and along the chain of waterways reaching the International Boundary Line and beyond. In a score or more of mining camps and infant towns, he sees much of wild western mining life and backwoods picturesqueness. The Kootenay trip is so much the regular thing with those who wish to see the heart of the mountain wilderness, and the noblest lake scenery, that every arrangement has been made for the tourist's comfort and quick connections, and none should omit the steamer trip from Revelstoke. Crossing the youthful Columbia again, the train climbs a third moun- tain range and by the Eagle pass of the Gold Range reaches the shore of the great Shuswap Lake. The tourist, who has made the journey without stop, has then enjoyed some sixteen hours of the finest moun- tain scenery on the continent; is grimed with his day in the observation car, and deafened with the echo of cañons; and as the Shuswap moun- tains shade to purple in the late summer sunset, he is too exhausted to agree or disagree with those less weary ones who pronounce the evening hours along the lake the crowning glory of the whole day's ride. As if this were not enough for a transcontinental trip, there follow the sunrise lights on the painted cliffs, the rose and orange, vermilion and umber walls of the steep cañon of the Thompson River. Last comes the splendid race with the Fraser to the sea, and a final speeding through the Cascade forests, where trees of gigantic size, a tangle of ferns and densest undergrowth tell of a new climate and conditions, the other shore, the Cordilleran slopes of the continent. At Vancouver a still larger and better hotel has been provided by the same far-seeing company, and although in the heart of the town, its site affords it a fine mountain outlook. Southward VANCOUVER. shines Mount Baker, a radiant pyramid of eternal snow, whose fascination grows upon one, and which Vancou- ver folk are beginning to look upon with an affection and reverence that shadow the feeling of the Japanese for their sacred Fujiyama. A moun- tain wall rises straight across the harbor, and behind it is the lake from which the city receives its water supply, the pipes being laid in the bed of the inlet, whose waters, too, are so clear that one hardly believes 12 self the object of pleasant attentions from rival firms. There are many small curio, or more purely second-hand, shops on Honcho Dori and Benten Dori, on Isezakicho and the Camp Hill road leading to the Bluff, and peddlers soon learn the way to one's apartment. Isezakicho, a street of museums, side-shows, tents, booths, restau- rants, toy-shops and labyrinthine bazaars, will amuse the tourist for several evenings with its street scenes and indoor spectacles. With an interpreter, the Japanese theatre AMUSEMENTS. will prove a delight and a revelation, and a guide will arrange for a dinner in Japanese style at a tea-house or an eel- house. From the temple grounds on Nogeyama, the hill at the left of the railway station, a bird's-eye view of the city and harbor may be obtained, with the fort on the Kanagawa cliffs overlooking them. A carriage, or jinrikisha, ride around the Bluff, where are the homes of the foreign residents, past the race-course, and around by the shores of Mississippi Bay, will show one much of beauty and interest in the couple of hours devoted to it. There is good bathing at the Honmoku Beach below Yokohama Bluff, and the tea-house there provides every accommodation for bathers. VI. The ri and the cho are the Japanese measures of distance. The ri. is equal to about two and a half English miles, and it takes 36 chos to make one ri. Fifteen chos are a little more than one mile. One ri equals 1.9273 kilometres, and it is believed that that decimal system will soon be adopted. On country roads jinrikisha fares are regulated by distance, from eight to fifteen sen a ri being charged, according to the character of the road, but on all the usual routes, to and from country stations, the exact tariff is known. It is a day's delight to visit Kamakura and Enoshima, twenty miles below Yokohama. The railway train will take one to Kamakura, landing him near the Temple of Hachiman, an historic shrine where many famous relics are displayed. He may tiffin at the Kaihin-in, a hotel in a pine grove near the beach famous for its cuisine, and a popular resort for foreigners at all seasons. The colossal bronze statue of Buddha — the Dai Butsu — is a mile distant from the Kaihin-in. The image is fifty feet in height, and after inspecting the temple in its interior, THE DAI the visitor may be photographed, seated in the lap or on the thumb of Buddha. The priest will mail the prints to any address given. At the Kotoku-in monastery the behavior of uncivilized tourists forced the priests to post this appeal: . “Stranger, whosoever thou art and whatsoever be thy creed, when thou enterest this Sanc- tuary remember thou treadest upon ground hallowed by the worship of ages. BUTSU. an “ This is the temple of Buddha and the gate of the eternal, and should therefore be entered with reverence.” Driving five miles down the beach the island of Enoshima is reached. At low tide the jinrikisha can go to the foot of one of the steep streets, but at high tide a ferry boat plies across a stretch of water. There are beautiful walks through the temple groves crowning the island, and the cave temple to the Goddess Benten may be visited at low tide. Its tea- houses serve fish dinners, and each one commands some specially fine view. On the opposite beach, at Katase, there is the best surf-bathing. To return to Yokohama more quickly one may drive to the Fujisawa station and take the train. Yokosuka is distant from Yokohama twenty-two miles by train, or distant fifteen miles by small steamer which leaves the English Hatoba four times daily. The government arsenal, YOKOSUKA. navy-yard, dry-docks and ship-yards are at Yokosuka, and as Japan ranks well as a naval power, there is always something of interest to be seen. A mile beyond Yokosuka is the grave of Will Adams, an English pilot, who arrived on a Dutch trading vessel in 1607, and being able to teach ship-building and other useful arts, was not allowed to leave the country. Turn to the right from the landing place, follow the street until it crosses the bridge, and then up the steep road to a stone staircase that leads to the summit of a hill. The view well rewards one for this walk to Will Adams' grave. Having his passport ready, the traveler may leave Yokohama after tiffin, take the Tokaido Railway to Kodzu, distant forty-nine miles. A carriage or MIYANOSHITA. tram will convey him to Yumoto, and a jinriki- sha carry him on to Miya- noshita in time for dinner. The two large hotels, the Fujiya and Naraiya's, are kept in foreign style, with excellent table, baths, bil- liard-rooms, etc. The little mountain village is full of wooden ware and toy shops, the whole region is wild and picturesque, and the soda and sulphur baths and the cool, bracing air are tonic and exhilarating. Miyanoshita is open the year round, and in summer its hotels are crowded. To Hakone Lake, to the Ojigoku (a solfatara) and to Otomitoge Pass are the favorite jaunts. From THE DAI BUTSU (GREAT BUDDHA). OF OSAKA. The last acts of the Shogunate were played there, and with the sur- render of 1868 the Restoration began. Its 361,694 people, its three hundred bridges, its great temples and workshops and cotton mills, are all matters of boastful pride to those prosperous citizens. . In one day, the traveler can easily see its more important sights : the Castle, the Tennoji Temple and Pagoda, the Mint, Arsenal, Hong- wanji Temple, the Hakku Butsu, or commercial bazaar, THE SIGHTS the theatre street, and the large curio shops. The Hakku Butsu is open at night, and condensing all the Of shops and factories of the town in that one place, one may review industrial Osaka by electric light. The labyrinthine bazaar is the delight of the Japanese, and they love to follow its tortuous mazes without ever an impulse to turn back. There are small ones without number in every theatre region, and each city has a large bazaar under government con- trol, where goods marked in plain figures are sold for a small commis- sion. There one may find everything useful and useless, the necessities and the luxuries of life, newest inventions, antiques, curios and much that one may never come across elsewhere. The great silk shops contain the richest fabrics loom and hand can produce, but trade in them proceeds on leisurely Japanese lines, highly entertaining to one who has time at command, and maddening to the hurried tourist, watch and time table in hand. Jiutei's Hotel, on an island in the river, will lodge and cheer the tourist after European methods. XI. No traveler fails to visit Kioto, the soul and centre, the heart of old Japan, and most fascinating city of the Empire. It is possible to go to Kioto by a morning train, see several temples, tiffin at Yaami's, visit the Palace and Castle, do a little shopping, and re- turn to ship at night, if one has a good guide KIOTO. and is limited to that one day on shore. The professional guides are registered at the Kobe hotels. Failing to secure one, the flying tourist may telegraph Yaami to send an English- speaking boy to the train at Kioto. He may visit the two Hongwanji temples, the Dai Butsu and Chion-in temples be- fore reaching the hotel whose proprie- tors were formerly guides and knowing what the tourist wants to or ought to see, can quickly put him in the way of it. The Kioto Hotel in the level plain gardens of Japan, after which classic designs half the miniature paradises of the land are arranged. Both monas eries contain famous pictures and screens. The Kinkakuji has a special fame in possessing an ancient pine tree trained in the shape of a junk in one of its courts; and the Ginkakuji holds the first and oldest ceremonial tea-house in Japan. Every visitor should walk the two bewitching streets of Teapot Hill : the one, a half-mile lane of china shops leading to the Kiomidzu temple, and the other conducting to the Nishi Otani temple. Nor should he miss the lane leading through a bamboo grove that joins the two streets, nor yet the shop-lined staircase that takes him to the foot of the Yasaka pagoda. A favorite excursion is to Takao, on the Oigawa, where the traveler takes flatboat and shoots the rapids of that river, and resumes jinrikisha at Arashiyama, a southwestern suburb of Kioto. If not too many, the jinrikishas may be taken in the boat or another boat hired for them. Three or four yen are asked for each boat, and the passage is made in less than two hours. Luncheon may be taken from the hotel, or the THE MAIKODORI — CHERRY BLOSSOM DANCE AT KIOTO. tourist may feast at the Arashiyama tea-house. Arashiyama is the Kioto synonym for cherry blossoms, and all the geishas in the empire have a dance that tells of cherry blossoming by the Oigawa. In April these hillsides rival the rosy slopes of Maruyama, where that enormous old cherry tree at the foot of Yaami's lane has drawn worshipping crowds for three hundred years. While it blooms, a gala season reigns and the great dancing fête, the Miakodori, goes on at the neighboring geisha school. The visitor may now reach Nara by railway. It is but twenty-six miles, the roads are perfect, the country picturesque, the wayside full of interest, and all the ground historic, while in the cherry blossom and wistaria season a visit to Nara NARA. should never be omitted. The road runs through the famous Yamashiro tea district, and Uji, the chief town, is always fra- A Chinese guide or boy can be engaged at either hotel, and as the railway now covers the eighty miles between Tien Tsin and Peking in a few hours his duties are less than in house-boat days, when all tray- ellers did exactly as Marco Polo did six centuries ago. The boy is paid from fifty cents to one dollar (Mexican) a day, and no other charges or allowances are made, save as the regular PEKING, present at the end of his service. The railway stops out- side the city walls, and there is a three-mile ride in cart or sedan, or on donkey, to the hotel on Legation Street, crossing the Chinese City and passing through two great gateways. The railway cars are rough and bare of comforts and always crowded with Chinese passengers of every class who smoke continuously, and native management gives foreign visitors much to criticise. The springless Peking mule carts with their iron bound wheels treat the tourist to a new surprise, and traversing roads that are only ruts in soft soil or troughs of mud, according to the season, leave him well battered and bruised at the end of three miles. At Peking, there is the excellent Hotel de Peking, kept in foreign style, where every comfort is secured, and every information and assist- ance given the visitor, for the consideration of six Mexican dollars a day. The foreign legations are all near by in the one quarter in the Tartar City, within the second wall, and the Liu li Chang, the booksellers' street, where the silk and curio, and other shops generally attractive to the tourists are centered, is near the gate. One may use bank-notes in Peking, and drafts are cashed at the banks, but otherwise he pays in cash, the round brass coins with a hole in the middle, of which from nine to twelve hundred make one Mexican dollar. Prices are also quoted to him in tuels and sycees, the latter lumps of silver whose value is determined by weight at each transaction. The tael averages in value at $1.35 Mexican. At several places in the neighborhood of the legations, one may, by giving the guards a couple of hundred cash, mount the wall, walk there undisturbed, and get a view of the city's different ON quarters. Within the first or outer wall, thirty miles in circumference, is the Chinese City, within the next ne circle is the Tartar City, then the Imperial City and the Purple For- bidden City, where the yellow-tiled palace roofs of the Emperor's habitation show above the trees of the park. In Peking streets, Chinese, Manchus, Mongols from the desert, Thibetans, Koreans and every people of Asia jostle together, camel trains, carts, mule litters, sedans and wheelbarrows crowd the way, and the din and the picturesqueness confuse and bewilder one. The sights of Peking are lessening in number each year because of the authorities closing show places to foreigners. The Summer Palace, without the walls, destroyed by the French in 1861, is now being rebuilt, and is closed to visitors. The Temple of Heaven, where the Emperor annually worships, was burned a few years since, but its ruins and the other temples within its park are interesting. The Confucian Temple, the Hall of Classics and the Examination Hall, where the students assem- ble every year to strive for rank and honors, are also to be seen. The old observatory on the walls, the Mohammedan mosque, the Catholic cathedral and college, the foreign mission establishments and the HE WALLS. The grounds about Government House and the Botanical Gardens are the pride of the colony, and banyan-shaded roads, clumps of palms, blooming mimosas, and the wealth of strange, luxurious growths, give the tropical setting to every scene. There is a handsome cathedral below Government House. To ascend to the higher roads, one is carried up those stone, or cement staircases of side streets in sedan, or hill chairs. There is a regular.tariff of fares, but there is always a discussion at settlement. No one should attempt to underpay a coolie. To pay the exact fare generally rouses protest, and to underpay them brings bedlam about one's ears. Jinrikishas are supposed to be fifteen cents an hour, or fifty cents a day. Chairs cost ten cents an hour for each bearer, or twenty cents an hour altogether. The completion of the cable road to the peak has fortunately done away with much of the chair-riding. The universal pigeon-English is understood, but a small vocabulary of Chinese words suffices for sedan conversation, as Be quick, hurry up. Fie tee. Be careful, look out. See sum. Come here, Liee ne shu. Don't do that. M-ho tso. Stop. Man-man. Wait a little. Tongue yut sum. That will do. Tos tuck lok. . More often the bearers rap the poles for one to sit still and keep the balance evenly, or to sit more towards one side or the other. The passenger raps the poles when he wishes to stop, and raps the right or the left pole as he may wish to be set down at one or the other side of the street. One quickly picks up a few words of pigeon-English, and finds maskee for all right, go ahead, agreed, never mind, etc., a most useful word. Top side for up-stairs ; pidgin for business, affairs, concerns ; chop chop for right away, quickly ; chow chow, or simply chow, for food; piecee for thing or article ; side for place, region, home, country, etc.; catch for fetch, carry, get, bring and buy, are the most commonly used in one's hearing, and are so quickly adopted in speech that at first one cannot utter a correct English phrase, owing to the corrupting spell of “pidgin.'

Carlo of the Far East ; view the loading of opium cargoes : rest at an excellent hotel, and enjoy the sea baths. One day is quite enough for the ordinary traveler to give to Canton sights and sounds. The night boat from Hong Kong will carry him the ninety miles up the Pearl River to that city of three MACAO. million inhabitants, and by daylight the din of that many voices will reach his ears like the roar of an angry sea. There is now a hotel on the Shameen, but formerly, unless he had 60 BOOKS OF REFERENCE ON JAPAN AND CHINA. “MURRAY'S Hand Book FOR TRAVELERS IN JAPAN” — by B. H. Chamberlain and W. G.
