lite works in bronze so delicate as to re-

ourselves freight included. Japan can
produce European work better than the
Europeans themselves; but that work has
not influenced their own art one whit
they hate it; whereas Japanese art has
permeated and influenced the whole Of
the West. In our authors mind all the
qualities seem to point one way, namely:
Japan must eventually become a ruling
power. The struggle for life does not ex-
lst there as in other countries. The food
! is simple and men live easily. Then again
the japanese are not over anxious They
90 not waste their energies. Women do
not 1ret because they are looking old; on
the contrary it is their ambition to be-
come old, for then they are most re-
Spected."
What Japan Has Done.
We all know what the Japanese idea is
IN military and naval matters. To become
a great military power has been since
they took up Western notions, il not the
exclusive, the principal, the essential OBJ
ject OF the Japanese.
Here is the result of what they have
accomplished stated by this same OBJ
n, These people they say, have no
building battleships. for example. Are
these Noah's Ark folk are actually build
ing battleShipS that they have already

finest swords and guns. and that they

Tar better than We handle ours? Every
soldier in the japanese army understands
the mechanism of his rife, and can in
minute pull it to pieces and put ii to-
gether again, even substituting a missing
portion, If necessary. Could the same

me japanese officers are no less capable
than the privateS, and l would guarantee
that If, by some miSchance the sword of
a. Japanese officer, being badly tempered,
should become bent, that officer would be
capable of retempering his blade-one of
the most difficult and delicate tasks i'm
aglnable." Equally unjustified in our au-
thor's Judgment, is the regret exhibited
by some sentimental Westerner when
1t was known that Japan had begun to
use rifles and to build battleships The
fear was felt that the Jananese would
loose individuality and become degener-
ate; that their adoption of Western meth
DDS of offenSe and defense would kill
their art Our authority can see no
foundation for this Misrepresentation. 1.-The
japanese have merely changed their tools
exchanged the bow and arrow for the
sword they are just as artistic and just
as intelligent as in the bow and arrow
days, though they have proved themselves
to be equal to, If not better than, any
other soldiers in the world
There Is not a word of exaggeration in
this. The japanese deserve everything
that has been set down to their credit
and more. -Malcom J. Graham.

THE WOMAN WITH A BABY.

Mid the herd of human porkers crowded
on the trolley car
All is selfishness and jostle, making age
and sex no bar;
Men collapse in seats and stay there. let
ting shrinking ladies stand
with look of indignation and a strap in
- either hand.
Yet there's one think that you's noticed
never fails to make stir
When woman with a baby comes they
-e all make room for her.
/ have sat in stuffy coaches on a crowded
railway train
List'ning to case-hardened travellers who
declare with might and main
mat they'd see the railroad company in
Hades' fiercest heat
Long before they'd even think Of giving
anyone a seat.
Then, ere scarce they'd ceased their boast
ing they would rise without demur-
For a woman with a baby they must all
make room for her.
There is something sweet, Madonna like
in pictures such as that.
And 1t makes the lowest ruff1an feel like
taking off his hat;
For 1t bears him back to babyhood whom
loving mother arms
Closely hung to him and kept off cen the
least Of earth's alarms
So no matter what his station, he will
evermOre defer
To a woman with baby-he has rever-
ence for her.
Once I dreamed I stood in heaven, Just
inside the pearly gate,
While to every new arrival good st. Peter
said, You're late;
For the places all are taken and the
harps are all in use
Golden streets are just so crowded that
4 had to call truce. 1
Then a little. tired-out woman lugged a
baby into view,
And st. Peter said: Were full up, but
Wen make Q. place for YOU"

With such an uncertain nay, dim,
future before him. the reformatory efforts
undertaken. or pressed upon, the sultan
must prove abortive. They seem to us
like a short grace accorded by the ex-
ecutloner, who does not see the proper
time to strike, and who prolongs the
agony for more convenient OPP
portunity. When the whole body is all
ing and utterly in want of medical as
sistance It Is preposterous to expect from
the amputation of a single limb, and to
believe that any reformatory experiment
in Macedonia will establish order in the
Balkan peninsula. i daresay the doctors
themselves disbelieve it. Their object, in
deed, runs in different line, for the roll
ing up of the Eastern question at the
present 1uneture means nothing else but
the gradual resumption of the interrupted

THE WINNERS.

The world doesn't always rely on the
chaps
That. put up the smoothest appearance;
They're often. indeed. very commonplace
yaps,
Sans intellect, sans perseverance.
After all. we are judged in our journey
through life,
BY the gray matter under our hoods
And the men that win out in the strenu-
Gus strife
Are the men that deliver the goods!
A man may be dignifed, pompously so,
Distinguished and ultra impressive;
His neighborS may deem him the whole
blooming show
And call him a leader progressive.
But sooner or later his boom will col
lapse
And back he will jog to the woods;
The battles are won. from reville to taps
BY the men that deliver the goods!

THE CITY AT NIGHT.

Night has a thousand mysteries, not least
This of mighty city as it lies
With thought self-centered, interpretive
eyes
That view Its own mirage of work or
feast,
Its pain and crime. it's love and hope and
truth,
It's holy joy and its unhappy ruth.
1t sees no outer beauty of the night,
No royal stars that tread q stately dance,
No glory of the heavens spread about
Turned ever inward is the city's sight,
Like men tense-spoken at a game of
chance,
Unconscious Of eternity without
