JAPAN AND CHINA.
A Feature Of International Political Life
10 The Far East

4 Feature Of International Political Lie
in The Far East
The chief obstacle to Japan's play
ling her destined part was the vests
misconception Of Ter aItitude toward
China. Our Journals proclaimed dead
ly rivalry between the two powers,
Japan's ambition, Inst for Corean
conquest and deliberate expansion Of
army and navy TO crush the older en-
pire. We credited her with vulgar
ambition only, This was radical err
ror. Her desire from the first was for
friendship and alliance 1t was her
governments stern resistance to the
"jingo" party-who wanted Corea in
fs73-that brought on the Satsuma
rebellion of 1877. In 1879 Gen.
Grant gave both China and Japan the
advice embodied in his famous Mix
ko conferences. l was then living at
Mike, and had the privilege of con-
versing with him on the subject. He
frankly asserted that the east was the
theater of coming events, in which
the only barrier to European spolia-
ton would be the union of the two
nations. From this policy l have per-
sonal knowledge that Japan has never
sverved. On two occasions, when
Chinese pride had pushed her to the
brink of war, Count Ito by personal
persuasion averted the issue. And at
home, be it remembered, the so-called
conservative reaction" was eagerly
reviving the study of Chinese history
and literature.
But the mistake of the west in this
matter was nothing to the fatality of
China's. In spite of Gen. Grant, she
would not believe IN Japan's dsins
terednees nor in her denial Of apos-
tasy The efforts of Ii were ultimate
ly fruitless, the cabal at Picking re-
sisting all reform that might expose
their Own corruption; end, after IS
years Of forbeafsnce, japan had no
but to bring her big bull
lying brother to his senses. She |
fought the war solely to win China
over to her conservative policy. This
can be proved from every genuine rec
ord.--Enest F. Fenolloea, in Har-

/ wish to call especial attention to
tho fact that ii is only late in the his
tory of the race that language has

WHAT ONE GIRL DOES.
How She Makes a Success of a Trying
Position.

The "girl' behind the glove coun-
ter had long passed her girlhood days.
She was not pleasant to look upon.
Her face wore a hard, determined
look, her mouth when in repose was
a mere line. Yet she could smile
sweetly, and had pleasant greeting
for those who helped her sustain her
enyied reputation as the best glove
salesTo1nan in the city. 'S$,.ISa,.
She had hosts Of friends among the
customers who patronized the store.
Many of them gladly waited for her if
she was busy with other customers,
and she ruled them imperiously.
They bought what shesuggested and
never thought of questioning her
taste or judgment. Some Of her more
recent conquests were sometimes in
clined to rebel, but sooner or later
they submitted.
In an unusual moment Of conf
dence she one day divulged the secret
Of her success. She said:
81 have never allowed myself to
get excited at any time, and I have
never shown annoyance or loss Of
temper before customer, no matter
how exasperating she might be-. The
more trying the customer the better I

INVISIBLE COLoRING.
Points Concerning the Painting Of the
English Men-of-War.

English Msn-of-war.
We stated on the authority Of our
Davenport correspondent that as ire
suit of experiments the English ad-
miralty have determined to abandon
the present system of painting torpe-
do vessels entirely black, and to paint
the upper portion Of the vessels gray.
This appears at first sight curious
inversion Of Natures methods of Sc
curing ipyisibilty, Throughout the
animal kingdom the rule prevails, in
beasts, birds, fishes and insects, that
the upper part of the body should be
of darker color than the lower, and
scientific experiments have demon
strated the enormous utility of this
arrangement Of color for purposes Of
concealment. Taking the case Of sea
birds or fish, as being most analogous
to warships, the upper part is almost
invariably gray, but the lower portion
white, or nearly so. The result is that
the light shining upon the upper deck
surface and the shadow falling upon
the lower light portion so equalize
matters that at short distance the
bird or fish is invisible. The expert
ence of any shore gunner will bear
this out in the case of those dark or
uniformly colored ducks which strike
the eye at immense distances, while
the parti-colored gulls resting on the
water are difficult to see at much
shorter range. The reason, no doubt,
why the decision of the admiralty
seems to run counter to the expert
ence of Nature is that the latter pro-
vides only protective coloration in
sunlight, moonlight, or darkness.
The searchhght, with its brilliant lat
eral rays, introduces new factor into
the case.-London Globe.

VENETIAN GLASS.
Has Been Famous and Highly Priced
Many Centuries.

Has Been Famous and Highly Prized
Many Centuries.
The exquisite glass from Venice is
well known nowadays, since the re-
vival in its manufacture has taken
place. In olden times the products
of the glass works of Venice and
Murano were world-renowned.
Traders carried these wares into bar
barous countries and the rich rulers
of the far east and darkest Africa
counted Venetian glasses among their
most cherished possessions.
It is said Venetian glass was first
made in the fifth century, but in 1888
the first mention is made in writing.
In 1875 the business had grown until
the council of Venice prohibited the
expectation of sand or any material
needed to make glass. Not even
broken glass could be shipped away,
and the furnaces of the glasmakers
increased in number SO rapidly that
citizens feared fire and all the manu-
factories were transferred to the town
Of Murano.
The government guarded the Sc
cret of the glassmaking very strictly.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turies workman could not 60 abroad.
If one did chance to escape he was
traced and ordered to return. If he
refused this all his relatives at home
were put in prison. If he was still
determined to remain away ennis
saries we're sent after him to kill him.
This was actually done in several
cases.
Everything possible was done to
keep the glassmakers happy. The
craft was considered very distin-
gulshed; wealthy Venetians gave
their daughters in marriage to the
manufacturers and no foreigner was
allowed to learn the trade.-Chicago

Owned by Admiral Sampson.

Gold Bible Hill, the mound where
Joseph Smith, the founder of the

under celestial direction, the golden
plates on which was inscribed the
Mormon Bible, is situated on the
