A physician Of Great Britain, George III.
T.. Dabbs, NJ. D., makes a suggestion that
has in it all the clements for an interest
ing controversy. His suggestion is thus
given in the London Spectator July 29:
IL. That between the ages, in men, Of
ffty-seven and sixty-two years errors Of
Judgment as they are called. are more
common than before or after those periods.
=. That this period OF partial eclipse is,
in my belief. associated with a period OF
climacteric. g. That though catastrophes
may be fortunately rare as italicizing this
presumption, careful observation may yet
find in the small and unrecorde6 matters
of life such variations from the usual in
individuals as justify comment where mat
tiers are unimportant, and reflection where
some crisis has arisen in the imperious
trial of which they may have failed or
fallen short. 4. And finally, 1 think / may
say thai IL a careful examination be made
of the p~reventible disasters of the last
twenty years, and of the ages of those who
were held responsible by the verdict Of
mankind for such 1amentable issues, there
will be found a strange coincidence in the
range of their ages, which may appear 10,
at least. favor a more natural theory as
explanation than the constant n almost
wearisome one Of the epileptic possession
or Influence"
DR.. Dabbs says his theory is the result
of observation. but he does not. In HIS
Spectator article, attempt TO do more than
suggest.

JAPAN'S SYMPATHY STIRRED.
Favors Leniency Towards China. Oriental
Sentiment on Missionary Invasions.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
Yokohama Dec. 25.-The weariSome and
disappointing delays of the Pekin diplo-
mats are having a marked effect upon
public opinion in Japan, producing what
may be regarded as almost a revolution of
sentiment in favor of China The native
papers are now mainly ranged on the side
of leniency in dealing with the chief in
stigators, not only from a practical point
of view, looking at the supreme import
ance OF inducing the Government to re-
turn to Pekin. but also owing to the in
herent force of the spirit of patriotism,
which characterizes the Japanese natives.
The Japanese are naturally asking them
selves what hey would have done under
similar Drovocaton, and, as a result
Japan is ranging itself on the side OF the
nations which are counselling the most
moderate terms possible in the negotia-
tions with the Chinese Court. Even some
of the foreign papers here are upon the
same side.
The missionary question, of course, oc
cupies a foremost place in the discussion.
1t is now felt as essential that the West
ern Powers axe cognizance Of the senti-
ment here chat religious invasions OF
Oriental countries by powerful Western
organizations are tantamount to filibus-
tering expeditions, and should not only DC
discountenanced, but stern measures
should be adopted for their suppression.
1t is, of course admitted that individual
religious zeal in the line of propagandism
cannot be interfered with, but the feeling
here is that the mission boards constitute
a standing menace to peaceful interna-
tional relations.
