The Nose i'm Japan.

In japan the nose is the only fea-
ture which attracts attention. The
nose determines the Sbeauty or ugliness
of the face, according as it is big or
small. This is probably due to the
fact that difference in noses constitutes
about the only distinction between one
Japanese face and another. The eyes
are invariably black, the cheekbones
high and the chin receding. In Japan
a woman who has a huge proboscis is
always a great beauty and reigning
belle. There are a few large noses
among the natives and lucky is he or
she upon whom nature lavishes one
In all Japanese pictures representing
the supposedly beautiful woman the
artist invariably improves on nature
by depicting this feature as abnor-
mally developed.-NewY York Times.

JAPAN AND suSSlA.

h 1t is war atlast between Japan and

She is comparatively weak, but she
has n we'll organized army and her
soldiers are brave spnd have proven
that they are splendid fighters ano

campaigns. Her navy in the far east
is said to be superior to that of Rus
sia and she may be able to hold her
own in that respect at first, but talk.
ing it all in all she is no match for
Russia, whose resources surpass her
own immeasurably. That Japan will
ultimately be defeated seems certain,
Notwithstanding the plucky fight she
will put up.
The cause of all the trouble is
Russia's aggression in the far east.
Japan's territory is small, her popu
lation is large and congested and if
she is to preserve berself as a nation
and grow and prosper she must have

One reason, possibly. why The con,
gressmen are SO anxious for the COM
pletion of their new Office building in
Washington, authorized by the last
Congress, is that there is law on
the statute books prohibiting the sale
of liquors in the Capitol building and
they are afraid to repeal that law.
But there is no law forbidding tho
ale of liquors in the new Office build
.ng, and the congressman will see to
t that no such Inv is adopted. With
lectric buttons connecting the Offices
with tho cafe, and staff of white
aproned walters to answer calls, the

But if the cost OF the canal is to be
$4OO, 100000 or 100000 why
are the estimates of the engineers SO
much below these figures? 1t seems
to us that the public ought to
have the truth as near as it can be
