JAPANESE WOMEN.
Plan, Made to Give Thorn Education In
Universities.

Universities
The higher education of women Is
not confined to the western world The
announcement has been made by the
British Medical Journal that a wealthy
family, that of Mitsui of Toxic, in ia
pan, has offered an extensive site in
that city for the foundation of uni
versity to be devoted, exclusively to the
education of women, and 1t is stated
that three other wealthy citizens have
contributed between them no less than
E24,000 for the cost OF the necessary
buildings. The work is already in
progress, and the new university will
be opened during this, the first year of
the present century. Such an institu-
tion founded for the benefit of pro-
gressive race of people, is not likely
to be failure. Japanese women are
amongst the most active in the world
Intelligent in the highest degree they
have proved themselves admirable
helpmRtes to marry Europeans to
whom they have become allied. 1t is
well known that one of our most emf
nent literary writers, an author in the
first rank of English poets. has taken
unto himself Japanese lady. who
shares his title and is now distin-
guished ornament in English society.
Although the University of Toxic is
not as yet in working order, there is
no probability that there will be any
dearth of students. In recent years
very many young ladies of good fami-
lies in Japan have applied to be ad-
mitted to university courses, cspsc' ally
to those in the faculty of medicine and
in the Polytechnic school. There can
be no doubt, from the character of
Japanese women, that they are admir-
ably suited, both intellectually ant.
philanthroDically to become ms dical
practitioners. In addition TO thesa op
portunities which will be offered to
them, the new university is intended
for the training of civil engineers, and
in this way Japan will set an example
to Europe, in opening up a new sphere
of labor for women. 1t is satisfactory
to note that the Japanese. undoubtedly
the most intellectual and progressive
of all eastern nations. should be the
first to recognize the right Of women
to be partakers in the higher education
in common with men.

As the Years Will See U. In the Far

A. the Years Will See Us in the Far

Havelock Ellis, an Englishman of
science, has written a most entertain
ing and instructive book called THE
Nineteenth Century: A Dialogue in
Utopia" 1t contains a conversation
between two men, one of them stu
dent OF antiquity and the other spe-
cialist in the lore and institutions of
the century just passed, the time be-
ing placed in that far distant future
when man has learned that greed al
ways overreaches itself and that hui
mainly can never come into its own
except by the straight and narrow
path which leads to intelligent tenn
perance in all things. 1t is the age
of the individual, a time when all arti-
fetal barriers between mankind in the
form of nations have been swept away.
when patriotism is, as some among us
are learning, merely cloak for the
politician and promoter, when truth is
held higher than liberty, and when So
cial diseases have been quite as effec-
tually stamped out as vaccination has
stamped out the mountaineering
scourge of smallpox. In this remote
day the world is kept sane by the
preservation in Lancashire of speci-
man of nineteenth century industrial
civilization. Within walls fitted up
with appliances for the study of those
inside just such city and country
side fiourished factories, coal pits,
newspapers, houses, as may be seen
today. These served as horrible ex-
amples" of what the rest of the world
had saved itself from. In addition.
the people of New York gave every
year great performance in which the
daily life of the nineteenth century
was acted over again. By such means
as these 1t was possible to obtain an
exact knowledge of the sort of thing
we now call civilization. In addition
large tract of country surrounding
the Mediterranean has been devoted
to reconstruction of the various sorts
of cultures which the world saw
Viewed through the calmly dispassion-

A bad memory, in most cases, might
be more properly described as one
rusting from sheer want of use. The
fact is our brain cells are always
ready to oblige," but we do not give
them sufficient encouragement in their
well-meant efforts. Naturally the in
dividual may cultivate a memory for
certain details more readily than for
others, but the general basis for all
recollective acts is the same and there
is no department of human mental ac-
tivity in which the motto that "prac-
tice makes perfect holds more truly
than in the science of mnemonics The
view may be expressed, indeed, that
we never forget anything presented to
our brain cells. When we say we have
forgotten we really mean that we can
not find the mental Photographic mega
tive whence we can print off positive
eproduction.-Dr. Andrew Wilson, in

petitions the men are put through a
rigid physical examination, but in pri-
vate expeditions such is not the rule.
A man should be sound physically
but there are exceptions, notably that
OF DR.. Kane, who was somewhat OF an
invalid all his life, and who yet with
stood hardship better than some of
the more athletic men of his command.
The large, heavily built, muscular men
do not begin to stand the strain like
the light, well-knit wiry men. Peary

men did, but, being of wiry fiber, he
is almost tireless, and is still evidenc-
ing his endurance in spite of the loss
of seven toes. The mind is sup2rla-
tive factor. Experience shows that the
sanguine temperament is the best to
overcome the difficulties, disappoint-
ments and dangers of polar service, by
lending hopefulness where appear
ances are totally against success. In
telligence is desideratum, for it finds
plenty to do during the long polar
night, where Ignorance would despair.
On joining an expedition one must so
clearly and calmly over the ground
and make up his mind that he may not
return; and the mind, once decided,
will override and conquer the body.
Otherwise it is better not to go at all.

The story of the private life of the
present king of England is. according
TO late reports, one of the best selling
books now on the American market.
1t may be supposed at first that this
fact is due to the title, which conveys
a subtle impression that the volume
may have something to do with Ger
tain scandals which have from time 10
time been more or less freely circulat-
ed on this side the Atlantic. Such,
however, is not the case. The work Is
proiessedly a laudation of the king s
virtues, and care has been taken by
the publishers to let it be known that
it is put forth under the approval OF
it's subject. There seems to be no
doubt in the minds of the booksellers
that the character of the work Is gen.
orally known to its purchasers. Ihey
buy it, not in the expectation OF find
ing n scandalous morsel, but because
they want to know about royalty.
Surely we are not forgetting that we
ourselves are all uncrowned kings and
queens and always the equals OF the
most exalted on earth, no matter what
their titles may be. Surely we are not
degenerating into race of snobs and
flunkies who, deep down in our hearts,

Rulsfan k1iinary .Service.


The cables of the daily papers in
the Russian universities are stating
that many students have been sen
fenced to so and SO many years SER
vice in the army Those statements
which lately appear frequently, are apt
to make one believe that service in the
Russian army is a kind of punishment
to which persons having committed
some offense may be sentenced. rms
is entirely misleading.
In Russia every able-bodied man of
81 years of age is subject to military
service. Each military district of the
empire has to furnish every year a
certain contingent of recruits, to sup
plement the army for the released con-
tingent of reservists. At certain
time OF the year. every man, having
reached his twenty-first year. has 70
appear before the recruiting court o.
his district and report for military SER
vice. The court releases the bodily
infirm, and from the rest the number
of men which the respective district
has to furnish for active service are
for one year as kind of reserve, from
which to draw in case the district
should not bring forth the required
number of able-bodied men m the COM
ing year. After that they are released
finally from active service, but belong
to the reserve of the army.
The men drafted by lot are subject
to three years of active service with
the army. A shorter term of service
is granted to the so-called "free-will-
ers'-that is, to men who have, be-
fore reaching their twenty-tirst year,
waived their right for the draft by lot.
and consequently have to serve under
any circumstances, provided they are
bodily able. The right to offer ones
self as a "free-willer" is, however,
granted only to persons of certain edu-
cational standing. The term Of active
service for free willers" ranges from
one to two years, depending on the
class of the institution from which
they have been graduated.
For students of universities or pupils
of other educational institutions the
law extends the term for the report to
service from the twenty-frst up to the
twenty-seventh year of age, SO as TO
give them ample time to finish the
studies. To this grant is. however,
attached the clause that whenever a
student leaves the institution by free
will or sentence, he then has immedi-
ately to absolve his military duties to
the empire.
1t will thus be seen that the remon-
strating Russian students have not
been sentenced" to serve in the army,
but, having left the university, the
existing common law compels them to
report for direct military service.
