Japanese Playing Golf.

Some of the new millionaires of Japan have taken up golf, which they play on links maintained in the most approved style. They are building country houses like castles of old in splendor. They are following many American and European ways, and yet, lavishly as they are scattering large Incomes in air, they are wonderfully Influenced by subtle refinements inherited from their ancestors. For the pleasures of the table they care little. Mostly the extravagance of the newly rich of Japan, finds vent In endowing colleges, assembling treasures of literature and art, and ministering to those senses and desires through which men nourish the soul.
