Japan and China are again having a
little difficulty, but it Is probable that
China, in view Of the result of the late
war. will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island kingdom. 1t
seems that some Of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots. and incidentally de-
stroying japanese property. Japan de-
mands that a decree be issued ordering
officials and people to respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
fcials be punished; that japan be paid
105, 900 taels for property damaged. and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. Japanese papers contain
strong pro-American editorials and
express the hope that the United States

The great number of suicides lately,
especially among old people, suggests
the need of doing everything possible
10 add to the interest OF life and make
IL easier for everyone to introduce
cheerfulness into the daily round and
common task" This can best be done
with the young. School chill
dren should be taught plenty
OF bright songs. of a kind that
will come back to them in after life and
dispel gloom. They should be given
an interest in art and music. Espe-
cially they should be educated to love
and cultivate flowers. They should be
taken on summer excursions and
shown the wonders OF botany. In ev-
cry conceivable way the beauty of COM
mon things. both in city n country,
should be opened up to the young. II
this were done men and women would
have more to think about than selfish
or family troubles. They would fall
back upon their mental treasures and
upon all-bountiful nature when gloomy
days came upon them. They would
brood less and would not think OF end
ing their existence. II everybody
would devote their lives more to the
pursuits of happiness than they do
there would be fewer suicides.
