the prevalent opinion in Japan, and II
IL certainly not surprising that this
small country, teeming with its Il, ,000,.
600, should regard Australia, with only
100000, with Q certain amount od
covetousness."
Commenting upon this, the Argus
says:
1--WE have not formulated or even dis
cussed any rational policy to guide US
in our dealings with these eastern
neighbors; consequently the attitude
Of Australia must be one of simple
aloofness. Mr.. Coote's tidings are an
eloquent hoanily to Queensland a. to
the necessity for federation and o re
minder to the colonies generally how
precardous the position of Australia
would be were 1t not an integral part of
the British empire. While that is SO
menace can only arise to Australia in
the event of great war in which the
naval strength Of the empire is over
taxed. In such case Japan, enrolled
upon the side of England's enemies,
would be an important factor in the
sum from theAustrnlian point Of view"
The Australians, therefore, like the
Spaniarus, are not inclined to do more
than take note of the fact that danger
may threaten them from Japan. It is
different with the Dutch. They talk of
taking the bull by the horns. Prof.
6chlegel writes in the Dagblad, The
Hague, as follows:
'The only way to guard against at
tacks upon the colonies by the jap
anese is to drive them out Of Formosa.
Holland must take possession Of For
mosa. The remembrance Of Dutch rule
has not yet been eradicated in that
island, and both Chinese and natives
would welcome our return rs putting an
end to the reigning anarchy. True,
Japan wiuld not voluntarily give up the
island. But that Is not necessary. Per-
haps Russia and France, and even Eng
land, would Join Holland in dispossess-
ing the Japanese. The seed sown by
Dutch ministers and teachers two
centuries ago would then speedily bear
fruit. Digest.

HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.

years and you are sure Of him. II the
habit Of obedience and Difference IL

in after years when he has slipped the

The trouble u too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injudicious management.
Her baby refuses to kiss her. She makes
believe to cry about it and thus gives .
lesson that will soon have him crying
for what he wants. He bumps his head
and she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him, thus teaching him to
be combative and spiteful. What is it
that makes nearly all children liars and
many Of them thieves? They are
trained to be 50 by the unconscious I'm
gers that point the way. The mother
promises anything. everything to keep
peace and avoid combat with the
little creature, who even now is beyond
her control. She does not fulflll these
promises and the child becomes her
judge. Never tell lie to child, or in
eny way deceive him, II you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him Of the happiness of supreme trust
