Now it is Persia which appeals to the
generosity of the American people for
food to save its starving thousands.
The United States is a land of plenty
which even in it's worst days does not
know so much destitution as exists at
all times in the old world, and especially
in Asia. The famished hand of suffer
ing humanity has never been extended
to America in vain.

THE JUSTICES DECISION.

''In considering this case" said Mr..
Lyttleton to the Jury, you should re-
member that these people are not to be
Judged by ordinary standards. Miss
Broom's behavior has been quite consis-
tent with propriety- considering the bon
homie which exists upon the hunting
field. Gentlemen, you know that in the
excitement of the chase, and In the en-
thusiasm which follows success, &C.
quaintances are struck up very suddenly
and the circumstances. of the hunting
field are such that they often progress
much more rapidly than seems possible
in other walks Of life. And as for this
smoking of cigarettes, which has been
made so much Orwell, most respectable
and high born ladies in society do the
same" g.
The justice seemed to take a similar
view. He warned the jury that Mrs.
Sweets testimony was not. to be trusted
far. and called their attention to points
in the testimony which seemed to show
Miss Broom's innocence.
The result was an apology from Mrs.
Chandos-Pole and the complete exon

LITERARY NOTES.


Forty Years Before the Footlights" is
the title of an extended conversation by
Mr.. James A. Herne in the August num-
Der of the Coming Age, in which the ac-
tor recounts numerous amusing anec-
dOtes which have occurred during his
long career on the American stage. The
conversation is as instructive as 1t IS en-
PERTAINING. The comparison of the old
stock companies with the modern theater
troupe Is only less interesting than the
delightful Characterization of Edwin
Forrest, John Mccullough, Edwin Booth
and other famous lights of our time.

'Enchanted India"

Enchanted india" by Prince Bojidar
Karageorgevitch. Harper & Brothers,
New York. For sale by the st. Paul
Book and Stationery company.
OF course the author is Russian, and
when Russian undertakes to write
about India, any one interested in the
conflict Of the Bear and the Lion will be
ready to gather new impressions of the
great struggle Of the Saxon and the Mus
covite. The book is nothing Of the kind
however; but it is something far more
interesting, for it gives the vivid i'm
pressions of a poetical and unprejudiced
traveller about a country that appeals
more to our imagination than any other
in the whole world. That old Aryan
civilization has something in 1t that is
akin to every intellectual Western mind
and in reading a good account of what
is to be seen and felt, there is awakened
at once a sense of fellowship and a sense
of mystery.
Prince Bojidar, like so many of his
countrymen, chose French as the me-
dunn of his communication to the world.
and though, of course, something is lost
in translation, this piece of work has
been so well done as to retain much of
the sparkle and charm that belongs to
the best French prose.
The author has not tried to make us
wise; he does not trouble us with the
history OF clVlllzauon or the reasons for
the things to be seen, which, happily,
leaves him more strength and freedom
for telling US what they really are He
entered Bombay, and visited nearly every
place Of note in the whole peninsula.
He knows his history so we'll that he
only alludes to. it incidentally and has
succeeded in making one Of the best
books of Oriental travel that has ap-
peared from the press. He has the sense
of color that belongs to the poet. In
fact all real descriptions of persons and
places must be done with the feeling of

For sale byn the st. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
The effort of MIS- Ransome has been To
write book which should be an accu
rate photograph Of the Japan of TODAY
1t deals with the progress, policy and
methods of the Japanese since the war
with China. 1t attempts to show the like
ness and difference between the present
civilization of Japan and that of Western
nations At time when all ewes are
turned toward tfles Pacific to study its
relation to world empire and to world
commerce such a study, if we'll done, can
not fail to be full of attractiveness.
The work has been done by a newspa-
per correspondent Of the best rank. after
two years 2sojonrn in the Flowery
Kingdom. But the author is also an en-
gineer, and from that point of view is
able to give much valuable information
with respect to the new mechanical de-
velopment among these Yankees of the
East"
1t must be confessed that the American
impression of the Japanese is not quite so
favorable as it was during the war. At
that time public sympathy was almost
wholly with them, and we were very
anxious that China should receive a
good drubbing. But some experience
with the newborn bumptiousness of the
successful little power has moderated our
enthusiasm. But the author thinks that
this is only the imitation of a good. old
fashioned Anglo-Saxon vice, and that we
ought not to complain AS to the com
mercial honesty, so conspicuously want
ing, and in which they are so distinctly
inferior to their recent enemies, the Chi
nese, the author finds an apology in the
fact that "This IS largely due to a mis-
conception as to the fundamental princi-
pies which guide-the conduct Of modern
business" But the question then arises:
Are they then so much inferior mentally
to their neighbors and foes that while
the Chinese can understand commercial
morality the JaHanese cannot2
The most marked trait in the japanese
character is ,feVerish anxiety to ac-
quire knowledge of any sort, and their
wonderful capacity for absorbing it.
While this pursuit Of knowledge is often
theoretical, practical capacity is not want

Some of the tales are all too short; but
this fault Is one which, in many books
can easily be forgiven.
One Of the best of these sketches is the
one Bearing the title 1.-THE Passing OF
Gen. Jackson The general was a
long-legged red game cock for whom his
master cherishes a marvellous affection. In
these words one neighbor discusses the
subject with another: THAT was the
name O. the critter-Gen' raj Jackson. He
just had the longest legs and the reach

spades and a temper like a buzzsaw.

much that he came to walk just like him
