SuSGCoS III ILLS century must NC pre-
pared for it by special training and
such practical education as has never
before been demanded in the history of
the world, says Success. The tendency
in every line of endeavor is toward
Capitalization, toward great combina-
tons of interest, and the men who
would climb up to the head of affairs,
or to responsible positions. must be
specialists. There will be little hope in
this century for the jack of all trades.
A young man must know how to do
some one thing effectually or he will
not rise. On the other hand, the prizes
were never before so great nor the OPP
portunities so promising, for the men
who have been trained to do one thing
well. Those who know little of every
thing, but have not been trained to do
one thing effectively, will be relegated
to mediocre positions.
The modern Japan which the
Marquis Itos policy has brought forth
was made possible by the religious de-
votion of mobiles and coolies to the En-
peror, which made the Imperial wishes
law; by the intense patriotism and the
official integrity of the retainers Of
the Diamyos, who have become the
officers of the army and navy and
Frederick Palmer in Scribner's. AS
an Occidental, should place integrity
as the first cause. When you have Of
fetal servants so proud that even the
postman will not accept a Christmas
present, a Stateman knows that what
ever his errors of construction may be,
the timbers are sound. AS long as men
become policemen on less than q
coolies pay for the honor of serving
the Government, it will never lack
for first-clas ability to fill it's offices.
Japan may well reverence her old mill
tary aristocracy, with it's false
punctilios.
German papers relate the following
extraordinary invitation to suicide: A
young Japaneses had attended the lee
lures upon Jurisprudence for several
terms at the Strassburg University,
and finally presented himself as a
candidate for the doctors degree. The
professor, who did not consider the
young man sufficiently prepared, tried
vainly to dissuade him from premature
ly attempting the examination. The
Japaneses was eventually plucked. The
same day he packed his luggage and
left Strassburg in high dudgeon for
home. Some time after the professor
received letter from a youthful rela-
tive OF the Japanese, informing him
that the family of his late student
was unable to support the humiliation
that the professor had brought upon
it, and that on a certain day, which he
named, they would put an end to their
existence. They therefore called upon
him to do them the satisfaction of
committing suicide on the same day
as themselves. Later information from
.Ianqn Chnvyc hof he 60 II,
word, but the professor sees no reason
why he should follow their example.

feared that the proximity of trolley
wires with the magnetic field which
would be set up at the passage of
every car might interfere with their
experiments, and they made represen-
tations to that effect to the govern
ment. In Germany, science is esteemed
only second to royalty, and the govern
ment being all-powerful, the street
railroads were ordered not to place any
trolley wires within a kilometer Give

cover the intervals by means of power
drawn from storage batteries. Asphalt
pavements also have replaced the old
cobble-stones in the streets around the
Relchsanstalt, to prevent the jar of
trucks from influencing the delicate in
struments in the buildings. To such an
extent as this, says Pearson's Maya
zine, does Germany work out her
schemes for scientific advancement.

somewhat in this style: when the
son of an Egyptian blasphemed the

The Vienna corresponds + of the
London Standard draws a melancholy
picture of the condition of all kinds
of business in the Austro- Hungarian
empire. which he ascribes partly to
the reckless management of joint
stock companies, partly to the with
drawal of foreign capital, and partly
to general causes. He says that the
