measures which were absolutely necessary

would make the grounds appear as II the
vandals OF old had pouneed upon them.
Not long ago Bismarck CHANGED upon a
group Of ladies and caught them in the act OF
pulling souvenir branches from one Of the
finest oaks in his park. One Of the group at
once recognized the Prince, and whispered to
her companions to deSist. They were reas-
sured by the kindly expression of the veterans
countenance. BUTT looked more ominous as
he approached them, and they expected
some angry remonstrance. To their aston
ishment he said in his most humorous way:
"Do you not realize, ladies. that if you con-
tinue to treat my trees in this way they will
soon be as devoid Of leaves as my head is Of
hairs?"
On arising the Prince calls for his Zeitung.
After thorough perusal he attends tc his
correspondence. Then follows stroll
through his park-he can no longer rdo or
hunt-after which he generally receives

Hoods SarsapariIIa
The Blood Purifier and True Nerve Tonic. ,3s
The MOngol Triad.

In the evolution of Japan, China
and Korea, war has been the most i'm
portant factor. The three started
with about the same bravery, the same
military skill and the same love OF
conquest. Their annals disclose ex-
hibition of wonderful courage, of
noble heroism in defeat and mag
nanimity in triumph. Each has had
its ups and downs, yet at the present
time they are SO different as'to justify
cause for surprise, writes Margherita
Arlina Hamm under the caption "The
Mongol Triad" in the Overland
Monthly.
"The Chinese are as brave as can
be, but their bravery is cold and fam
tastic. They have no love OF nation
ality, no love of war and no love Of
life.
"Very different are the Japanese.
They love life and gayety, war and
fatherland. They have superstitions,
but while believing in them, laugh at
them as if capital jokes. They are as
brave as tiger cats. When the Ameri-
can and English gunboats bombarded
the Shiminosaki forts thirty odd years
ago, the garrisons never Ainched nor
faltered. They served the old smooth.
bores against their enemy until they
were shot down.
"The third type. that Of the citizen
Of the Land Of the Morning Calm, is
inferior to the other two. 1t is diff.
cult to describe and more diff ult to
understand. Physically the Korean
is strong and healthy; nevertheless,
he shirks his work il employed and
does boys task if his own master.
He has, times numberless, displayed
great valor, yet nine times out of ten
his conduct is savage, cruel and
cowardly. On the coast he wrecks
ships, loots the cargo and. massacres
the crew. Inland he robs the traveller
and any one else he can lsy hands on.
