Improvement i'm Italy.

Italy's recent demand for a port and
other concessions in China came like the
proverbial bolt from the blue" The
peninsular kingdom had for some time
been so quiet as almost 20 be forgotten

premonltion whatever that she was about
to enter upon another career of eXpan'

"a. 600 former emigrants returned home
during the year, so that the ret loss was
only 1900 And decrease OF emigration Is
a pretty accurate indication OF increase

a very subdued-looking boy OF about
thirteen years, with a long scratch on his
nose and an air of general detection.
came to his teacher in one of the Boston
public schools and handed her a note be-.
fore taking his seat and becoming deeply
absorbed in his book. The note read as
follows:
Miss B.-Please excuse James for not

THE GREAT POWERS.
In the Near Future There VIII he But
Four That Can he Thus Ranked.

The New York Journal of Commerce
maintains that in the future, and that
BY no means remote. there are 10 be but
"a world powers. namely. Germany Rus
STA, Great Britain and the United States.
IL states that France IS a very different
factor I'm the worlds affairs from what
she was in 1890, and seemed to be In 1870,

senaratiOn of it's discOrdant elements
which IS not impossible-would not mean
two nations i'm the place Of one. but by
the argandizement of Germany and
Russia. would mean one less nation;
while Italy. in spite Of her union Of dis
Joined members. IS plainly decadent.
The classification thus made leaves but
four great powers, IN which Germany
figures by the possible absorptlons re-
ferred 10 above. and by the growth in
population and Industrial prosperity,
made evident by each years experience
our contemporary seems 10 think that. of
these four powers the United States is
far the wealthest IN present possessions
and I'm future possibilities. The next
century. II SAYS. will show whether this
