PiERPONT MORGAN OF JAPAN.
Suggestion That All Great Financiers
Look Alike.

Suggestion That All Great Financiers
Look Alike.
The excellent Baron Shibusawa, Of
ten alluded to as "Pierpont Morgan OF
Japan" created highly favorable I'M
preston in this country during his re-
cent visit. Possessing physiognomy
which, barring an Asiatic tint and a
crown Of hair of un- European straight
ness, blackness and fineneSs, might
have been that of prosperous elderly
banker of American, English or Scot
tish nationality. and a grave and saga
cious financial bearing, he spread
everywhere the wonder how the jap
anese could so soon have assimilated
themselves to Western ways. Are we
sure, by the way, that financiers have
not looked essentially alike in all coun-
tries and ages? asks writer in Har-
pers Weekly. Many busts and stat
uettes of prominent elderly citizens
have been dug up in Greece and Rome,
and are to be seen in museums to-day,
whose faces strongly suggest close and
not too credulous attention to financial
look just like our bankers. There is
nothing new under the sun Of finance
except the scale of the propositions;
the financiers and their ways are eter-
nally the same Baron Shibusawa is
an excellent type Of the kind. His nu-
merous suite, however, We're not the
well-assimilated Japanese business
men seen daily on our streets, who look
as IL they were born in European
clothes, and who have substituted the
New York facial expression for the
bland japanese smile. They were for
some reason real japanese, merely
masquerading in Western dress. In the
group of photographs which they ami
ably permitted to be taken for the
papers the awkwardly bending knees
look as If they were reaching out for
the kindly protection of flowing robes.

THE MAN WITHIN THE GUN.

Here is the 16-inch gun which has
just been completed at the Watervliet
arsenal. This view shows the muzzle,
with man in it whose weight Is 1855
pounds. The gun is immense, when one
considers the quality of the metal con-
tanned in 1t, which is. of course, the
best that science and skill can produce
at the present time. 1t is built up of
nine pieces of steel forgings, the first
piece being the tube. all in one piece
IS feet long. The whole length of the
finished gun Is 40 feet, the diameter at
breech end Is 51a feet, and at muzzle
2 feet 4 inches. Its weight is 13O tons,
and 1t Is ritied with 81 grooves. The
breech-loading mechanism Is operated
by the one movement of turning a
crank. Twenty turns of the crank
swings the breech block out ready for
the firing, which Is done by pulling
lanyard after the primer has been
placed in position and connected with
electric contact. The firing mechan-
ism is connected so as to make it i'm
possible to explode the primer before
the breech block Is properly closed and
locked.

CAUSE AND CURE OF COLDS.

| Exposure of Some Popular Fa1Iacies
| on This Perennial Subject.
Considering the amount of ink which
has been used in discussing the subject
of colds, discouraging small results fol-
lowed. A physician says regarding the
matter: "The truth is that cold is due
to an almost infinite variety of causes,
some local. some practically inevitable,
and no one method will prove effective
in all cases. Very few are the fortu-
nate individuals who never have colds,
and most of those living in our northern
climate must be resigned to having one
or two in the course of the winter, but
one who takes cold readily and often is
not in healthy condition and should
seek medical advice. The cause in such
case may be local, consisting in some
malformation In the interior Of the nose
which keeps the mucous membrane in
an irritable state. This fault In ana
| tomical construction can usually be
remedied by All operation which Is sell
dom severe. But before resorting to
this the general system should be ques-
toned in order to determine whether or

| is the case, even when nasal deform-
| ity also exists.
zone of the chief predisposing causes
of cold is a disordered digestion, es-
pecially Intestinal digestion as result
of overeating or the use of alcohol. 1t
has been said that an underfed man
cannot catch cold, while an overfed one
can scarcely avoid it. Whether this is
strictly true or not, there is certainly
some close relation between the diges-
tive organs and the nose, and inaction
of the bowels Is frequent forerunner
Of cold.
"The adage that one must stuff cold
and starve fever is pernicious-a cold
is a fever and one of the surest means
of cutting it short is to take laxative,
abstain almost entirely from food for
twenty-four hours and drink two or
three quarts Of cool water. Another
grayator, Is hot toddy' at bedtime.
A hot drink, hot lemonade, for exam
pie, is good, If the sleeper does not
throw off the bedclothes the minute he
drops off; but the alcoholic addition is
not merely superfuous, but injurious.
Alcohol in any form predisposes to a
cold and retards the cure of one al
ready present. Cool bathing, deep
breathing, daily exercise in the open
air, fresh air in the house at all times
and especially in the bedroom at night,
abstemious living and not letting
waste materials accumulate in the
body-these are the best means of re-
moving ones tendency to catch cold"

0 Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
The home Of the brave and the free,

Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and

And threatened our land to deform,

With her garland of victory DER her,
When SO proudly she bore her bold

With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast Of the Red, White and Blue,
The wine-cup. the wine-cup, bring hither,
And fill you it up to the brim:
May the wreaths they have won never

Nor the star of their glory grow dim!
May the service united ne'er sever,
And hold to their colors so true!

Secure l rest upon the wave,
For thou, o Lord, hast power to save

For thou dost mark the sparrow's fall;
And calm and peaceful is my sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep.
And such the trust that still were mine,
Though stormy winds swept o'er the

Or though the tempest's fiery breath
Reused ME from sleep to wreck and
death.
In oceans caves still safe with thee,
The germ Of Immortality;
And calm and peaceful is my sleep.
Rocked in the cradle Of the deep.
