Japan to Honor Perry.

There is much significance in tina,
brief cablegram from Yokohama stat
ing that Il movement has been started
in Japan. with the minister of justice
at its head. for the erection of a SPLEEN
did monument to the memory of Com
modOrc Perry, the fearless American
sailor who opened that empire to the
influences of western civilization. IT
was less than half century ago, in
1854, to be exact. that Commodore
Perry. bearing a letter from President
Pierce, sailed into the forbidden
harbOrs of Japan and awakened that
island from its sleep of centuries. He
was an unwelcome visitor. looked upon
as a presumptive intruder. and re-
ceived under protest and only because
the empire feared to refuse him.
For many generations the japanese
| had refused to have any intercourse
| with the outside world. They had OK
PEELED the Portuguese from the island
two centuries before, and had insisted
on being hermit nation. But the
coming of Commodore Perry with his
| American fleet changed it all. a treaty
| of peace between Japan and this coun.
| try was soon established. Other
| nations followed in our wake. and soor
Japan began to forge to the front as ar
enterprising and ambitious nation. 1t;
| development and progress in half &
| century has been wonderful. Now il
| is beginning to realize the great deb
it owes the intrepid Yankee naval OIL.
Ger and will do fitting honor to i;
memory. 1t will be one more reason
for calling Japan the Yankee-land o
the East.

This is the second edition Of a work

on hypnotism and kindred subjects
that has ever been published in our

says: "Hypnotism. mcsmerism and
suggestive therapeutics have. until
recent years. received very little
recognition from physicians. or from
men Of other sciences. But stripped of

~ may be pardoned for boasting that
it has Outstripped it's contemporaries
by over a year in the announcement of
one of the most important pieces of
news that have come to be published
in recent years. In that publication Of
December %, 1899, there appeared i
story entitled The Capture of ASui-
naldo.'' The author was Mr.. Dufiicld
Osbourne. and he told of how certain
American officers, taken as prisoners
to the headquarters of Aguinaldo, cap
tured the insurgent leader. rushed him
across country to the coast, and con-
veyed him in a war-ship to Mamma.
This is exactly what General Funston
has just accomplished. Whether the
Kansas soldier ever read Mr.. Os-
bourne's story or not. it is not possible
to say at present, b.t it is reported
that Aguinaldo reported that the
Americans never could have captured
him by any other ruse if they had tried

1t is favorite joke in New York
and Chicago to speak of Boston and
Philadelphia as slow. In at least one
respect the two latter cities are more
up-tO-date than their rivals. The
announcement that the society women
of Boston will ride astride at next
weeks horse show brings out the
fact that this mode of horsewoman-
ship has prevailed for some years at
the Philadelphia horse show. while it
has never been attempted in New
York. and in Chicago it has actually
been forbidden by the management OF
the show. The advanced element
in Boston has made the discovery
that previous to the reign of Queen
Elizabeth women always rode astride
but that lady of royal blood. being
deformed. was unable to do so, and
the side saddle was introduced. "Wh,
should women suffer for all time al
on account of that old crippleo, sa,

There are great possibilities in the
method of attacking the liquor traffic
which has been in augurated in Bath.
Judge Fogler has granted per-
petual injunction restraining property
owners of that city from leasing GER
tain premises for the sale of intoXi-
eating liquors. This seems to open a
new and important avenue for the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. for
it is a pretty serious matter to dis
obey such an order of the court. If
ii is as effective as it seems at first

orally. No landlord should be al
lowed to lease his property for Illegal

Americas Drink Bill.

1t is a staggering fact I'm more senses
than enc that the people of the United
States pay out for drink, each year.
more than the whole amount of the
national debt. BY far the greater part
of this vast sum is paid for alcoholic
liquors. Thc rest is for tea. coffee and
cocoa. drinks which are not intoXicat-
ing and which. on the other hand. may
be drunk 10 an excess which is often
nothing less than intempcrance. The
American Grocer. the official organ of
the trade. has compiled the following
totals of the money cost Of the bcvcr-
ages consumed in this country in 1900:
Alcoholic drinks ............... Sl,Os?.35S -.
toffeC ....-................... l-o, .So'oo,
iea ........., 81, 81 ta,S
ID 'ocoa .........,... b,NN.0JU
OF this grand total Sc per cent. went
fer alcoholic beverages. and of this So
per cent. 50 per ccn,. was spent for
beer, 30 per cent for whisky and per
cent. for wine. The relative cost and
bulk Of alcoholic and nonalCoholic bev-
erayes are indicated by the fact that
while the lbs. $50 worth of coffee
used last year made 1,225i 1926 gal
Ions. the $500. 600 900 worth of beer
measured only l ,e21 500, 100 gallons. 1t
is interesting also to learn that. not
withstanding the bigness of the figures
we have quoted. the consumption of al
Coholc liquors is not increasing. The
consumption of spirits has declined
from 1.43 gallons per capita n 1891 to
1T gallons in 1900; the consumption of
wine has fallen from Al to 40 gallon,
and the consumption of beer has in
creased from 1871 to 1901 gallons. The
nations drink bill amounts to $l617 per
capita yearly, or an average daily per
capita of less than five cents. not
counting the large amount of money
spent for soda water and other nonin-
toxicatinS beverages.
This total of alcoholic drinks looks
large, and is large. for that matter, but
it is some satisfaction to know that the
per capita consumption IN our country
is much smaller than in England
France, Germany, or most other for
eign countries. 1t is also gratifying to
be assured that the temperance condi-
tons in this country are improving.
And though the outlay for intoXicat
country as a whole, what a pity that
this colossal sum could not be put to a
better use.
