JAPAN'S WAR ON RATS.
Energetic Measures Taken to Suppress the
PLAGUE.

Yokohama, June l, via Victoria,
B. c. June l8.-Much CONSERVATION
has been awakened by the escape OF a
rat at Toxic. The medical authori-
ties of the Imperial university were
engaged in experimenting on some
rodents in the introduction of PLACE
bacilli into their veins, when one of
the animals eluded their vigilance,
and rs consequence several have
recently been discovered in the hos
pital infected with the disease. AS a
result the war against them has
assumed huge proportions. The
Toxic municipality has voted 30, 600
yen, rat traps by the thousand are
distributed among the people, and
bounty of 5 sen each is offered for
their capture. With all this evil
dence of CONSERVATION there is no
need of fear that the :he disease can
gain foothold in the country in
which such measures for prevention
have been taken. While sporadic
cases appear here and there they
are instantly isolated, and the spread
"a VIC COlitdEIoIi IS IcuucTeN pTdctl-
cally impossible. The authorities
do not hesitate to adopt the most
drastic measures in each instance,
and as a result the empire is today in
a better sanitary condition than any
other nation in the world.
The cabinet muddle is not only
still unsettled, but it becomes every
day more complicated and hopeless OF
solution. The source of trouble.
while dignified as strife between
the principle OF party ministry
and that Of an independent cabinet,

Opinion of Nozurt.

An Interesting story is told Of the min
yet, which is. perhaps. the most popular
of all Paderewskrs compositions. Pader-
ewiski, while professor at the Con-
servatory OF warsaw, was one evening at
the house Of a Polish poet. who expressed
the opinion that no living composer could
compare with Mozart in beauty and sim
plicity.
At the moment Paderewski merely
shrugged his shoulders; but the follow
ing evening he appeared, and asked per-
mission to play his host n little thing of
Mozarts. which. perhaps, he did not
know. He played the minuet. The poet
was enrapturcd, and cried. triumphantly:
Now. you must acknowledge that
piece like that could not have been writ
