SURE ETIDERCE.

If anybody has any doubt about the reality of Japan's new civilization that doubt must be removed by the state ment of the fact that the Japanese have taken to baseball A baseball team which was organized several years ago in a noted Tokio school extended the fever by a tour throughout the coun- try. during which they were as success full as was the great Red Stocking Club, of Chicago, which cut such wide swath of victories in the famous tour they made. The triumphant Tokio club carried off all the honors in the base ball field until the whole country had gone baseball crazy, and clubs had started up in every section. Then, and only until then. were their colors low cred and trailed in the dust.
 The talk is that the Japs are good ball players. 1.-the, agile and quick to learn, they soon pick up the fine points of the game and practice them. Their pitchers have mastered the curved ball and their fielders have made great progress towards mastering the balls that come to them. Japan is certainly all right now and Russia will do well to look out when the balls begin to fly.

The L,ttis Man

A little man dwelt in little town
 A little over twenty years ago; He gained little portion of renown
 Within the little crowd he used to know He wed little maid when twenty -one. And later on they had little son. This little man had little to regret, He had but little patience with the weak. When others fell his eyes were never wet, With sinners he had little time to speak. Instead, he went to church little late, And dropped a little nickel on the plate. He drank little coffee now and then, But little stronger liquid passed his lips; He mingled little with Bohemian men; Life's wine he drank in stingy little sips. When stragglers came to him for food or bed. With little pain he shook his little head. He made a little fortune rapidly
 By grinding labor out of little arms, And by foreelosing q variety .. Of little mortgages on little farms. He died-.and meath the weeping willow
 bough ......$.5z. } A little worm is working on him now.

faction and revolt in the Russian schools. M. de Plehve tells how the po- lice found in the possession of a pupil in one of the St. Petersburg schools copies of a publication called Towards the Light, a paper published by the executive committee of "The St. Peters burg Organization of Secondary Schools" It contains a whole series of articles dealing with the situation of pupils attending the secondary schools of the empire, and the impediments in the way of progress toward independent science and free thought. One article announces the existence of large anti government organizations-the Khar- koff Pupils Union, the Kieff central branch of the united clubs and second ary school organizations, the group of South Russian pupils, and the organi- zation of the St. Petersburg secondary schools. Apart from these four princi- pal organizations, says the journal, there exist groups and secondary clubs at Moscow, Mini Novgorod. Pskoff, Minslz, Irkutsk, Jaroslaff, Pensa, orel, Tula, Kostrona, Serpukhoff, Saratoff, Tchita, Biciostock, Wilma, Warsaw, Sim brisk, Samara, Kaluga, Vitebsk, and Ekaterinburg. These groups are in per- nianent communication with the St. Petersburg organization, and it is their final object to transform themselves into single and unique Russian organ ization. According to the author of this article, the pupils of lyceum in a cen tral district of Russia have formed "a fighting organization so as to under take an active struggle against the odious system of the educational estab- lishments. Some of the provincial or ganizations even possess periodical publications. Thus at orel there is the Voice of Youth, at Minsk, the Forwards, at Nijni-Novgorod, Youth, etc. Finally, it is declared that the students have frequently organized congresses at Perm, Moscow. Rostoff, Kieff, Saratoff, and Warsaw, to prepare programme of future action. %ear

t"The Chatterer" in the Boston Herald does some rather astonishing chatter ing about bridge whist as she is con ducted in good old Boston. He says that in Boston's best society the craze for bridge is leading women to risk sums they can i'll afford to lose, or learning" sums of which they after ward boast with great glee. At one of the fashionable houses recently young man was invited to join the game, and not until he was informed by his hostess, woman of wealth and position, that he was in her debt for a large amount, did he know that he had been playing for high stakes. The in- formation overwhelmed him, but he candidly confessed he had no idea when he took a hand that it was to play for money; in fact, he not only had none about him, but it would be impossible to pay his indebtedness at once. "oh, we'll" was the lady's business-like re- sponse. send me your cheques as you can pay" ~
 And it appears that the influence of bridge has even reached the Boston schools, or at least one boys school of social distinction. The mother of one of the pupils, little eleven-year-old chap, was amazed when the child came home one day and told her that an- other boy of his own age had been teaching him bridge whist, but de- manded he should play for his pocket money. It happened, however, that this novice in the game had no mind to part with his pennies. "so I told - wouldn't do it, mamma, and he said his mother got a lot of money

Fairies of the Deep Sea, Beloved of All Mariners
 Cough island rises almost sheer from the sublime deeps of the south Allan tic, lonely summit of the stupendous mountain which stretches away down into the everlasting stiffness and gloom of oceans profoundest secrecies. It's sides are sullen precipices, hardly ten antable by the cliff-loving sea birds; yet hetween those drowning walls, where cosnnic forces have riven them, may be seen tiny beaches, miniature havens into which the enormous pillows never penetrate, and which are too small for even a seal to use. And peer ing with keen eyes into these crannies, one may discern, tunneling into the face of the friable rock, little galleries, easily marked hy the white at their black openings. In front of one of these stood on day two little birds of an el- egance and delicacy out of all keeping with their surroundings. Hardly as large as a thrush, but sturdier in body, their plumage was dark, glossy brown, with head-like balls of black velvet, a splash of white on the trump, square tails and slender legs like stiffened strands of black silk. The delicate webs of their feet were scarcely larger ara than shilling, and marked with a little splash of yellow in the center They were the fairies of the deep sea, beloved of all mariners, and called in differently Mother Carey's chickens or Stormy Petrels.

 mack is impotent, alas! What is one voice amid the clamor of some eighty millions approving and applauding this deed of shame? The Panama Canal will be built amid the acciama- tions of the sordid nations who will use it, the benighted and betrayed peo- pie of the isthmus and of all Central America will prosper and be happy. But although there is nothing in it for the gentle soothsayer of Castalian Springs he has at least some compen- sation. His interview has found asy- lum in the columns of the Baltimore Sun, side by side with the story of how Henry John Innes Ker, eighth Duke of Roxburghe secured forty millions with out mourning the slightest suspicion of bad faith, and for a little time longer he will have the privilenge of address ing the Chair from his place on the floor of the United States Senate.- Providence Journal

from worthier hands the credit for res- toring peace in the Philippines and dig gin the Panama Canal. And yet Pat. terson and Dubois of Idaho are dumb; Tillman is sleeping; Hear has dared to palliate the foul deeds of Roosevelt.
 But Carmack is not to be numbered among such renegades. The country has been waiting for the uplifting of that clarion voice. There have been one or two to tell us of our peril and our sin, but they have only beaten the air. Their language has been too weak, too lacking in virility, too much the speech of billingsgate and of the New York Evening Post; noble their motives, but their language low. What has been lacking is that stern but calm eloquent but passionless, just but merciless statement of the damning facts that alone can at once compel conviction and command re- dress. And at last we have it. The Baltimore Sun prints an interview with Senator Carmack. Give ear:
 This Panama performance is just what might have been expected from a man who conducts the presidential of flee as if it were yellow newspaper whose only function is to supply a new sensation every day"
 Note the matchless dignity of those majestic phrases. Then this, that comes over ones ear like the sweet South that breathes upon bank of violets. stealing and giving odor:
 "All the records of European diplo- macy cannot show greater piece of knavery than this Panama job. Sec retary Hays special plea in defence of it Is simply contemptible. All his in genuity cannot furnish even a plausi- ble Justification for the act. The ad- 1ninistration has deliberately and know ingly violated all the rules of interna- tional law, has violated our treaty ob- legations has violated the Constitution of the United States and ignored the plain mandate of the Spooner act.
 Under no compulsion whatever, it chose a dishonorable way simply because il was the more sensational and spectacu- lar way. There may be other reasons The French lobby has forty millions at stake in the Panama route and a little knot of Panama politicians have about twenty millions at stake. Per
 haps some of this money will find its way into the Republican campaign l fund next year.
