GOOD MAY COME FROM WAR.

Such good as may come from the
war. such compensations az may fol
low in it's train, must be looked for in
the broadening and uplifting effects
of the contest upon the countries
where II Is waged. and whose posses
sion and control constitute the real
casus bclli. So far rs the benefits Ia
he derived from modern civilization
are concerned, there can be no doubt
that Manchuria will be far better OF
under either Russian or Japanese rule
than under Chinese. AZ this region
still is, n%ominally. Manchuria has al
ready benefited greatly by Russian
administration of her finances, her
railroads and her local government.
and these gains will be confirmed and
extended when Manchuria passes com
pletely under the control of a more
highly civilized power.
But ia Corea most of all will the
wal be practically certain to bring q
large measure of advantage, no mat
ter which party to the contest may
claim her AZ the spoil Of victory. Co
rea, which remained mp to a few years
ago the hermit nation" of the East,
Is still in a benighted condition, with
a government and a people but few
grades above savagery. The country
has no educational system whatever
and the masses are still In the lowest
depths of ignorance and superstition.
Industrial enterprise and development
are rendered impossible by the ma
tional prejudice which forbids innova-
lions of any kind as being disrespect-
ful to the. ancestral relations of the
people.
The existing government, as admin
istered by all, from the emperor down
To the lowest village officer, Is crude,
grossly inefficient and corrupt To a
degree hardly appreciablc by an acct
dental mind. The country Is IilIed
with officials who do nothing but draw
their salaries, and whose maintenance.
enforced as it is by every species OF
cruelty and oppression, is a crushing
burden upon the laboring classes. JUS
flee as administered by the local mag
istratcs Is worse than a farce, since
decisions go almost entirely as a mat
ter of favor or In return for bribcs.-.

SOURCES OF HER CHARM.

Poets and lovers of New Orleans
will tell you that the girl Of the south
ern city gets her pale, creamy com
plcXion from the maenolias that bloom
in such p~rofnsiOn: her grace and Ian,
guild ease OF motion from the thou,
sands of waving palms; the dusk OF
her eyes and hair from the %wondrous
tropical beauty of the southern nights;
her voice from the whispering of the
Zephyrs and the ~changeful song of
the knocking bird. Much OF her health
Is undoubtedly owing TO the fruit she
eats; oranges like globes of russell or
grcenish gold, into whose flavor has
entered the perfume OF the most deli
Cious flower in the fruit world: figs,
which are flowers, purple without, rosy
within, the subtlost and most delicate
of fruits; "watermillion," whose cool
colors are as refreshing on "a summer
day as The draught that comes from
its crimson hcart.-From "The New
Orleans Girl by Columbine, in Ma.

THE ART OF CLEAR DIcTATioN.

Few people think and talk with pre-
cision and in logical order, oven Of
the men whose trained intellectual
ability is made manifest in their de-
liberate writing. In dictated judicial
opinions and legal documents there
now often appear redundancy, com
pleXity of thought and carelessness
OF expression, Of which the burden of
Interpretation is great; and some
times the separation of the wheat
from the chaf IL neXt to impossible.
Moreover, we discover in many ON
literary productions, books
ana what not, like evidences thai they
were dictated by men who had not
the art. The difference be-
tween written and dictated work Is
made apparent in the absence Of NY
thing like individuality of literary
and In a machine-like Uniform
ity in which there Is no more literary
than in an ordinary commercial
letter.-New York Sun.

HOW MUCH SHOULD WE EAT7

How shall one determine how much
food to cat? Too much mystery has
bcCn thrown about this subject. Let
your sensations decide. II must he
kept in mind that the entire junction
of digestion and assimilation is car
riod on without conscious supervision
or concurrence. II should be entirely
unfclt and unknown. excepting by the
feeling of "bicn.Ctrc," which accom.
panics and follows it's normal accom-.
pliShmCnt. Safety Is bad. II I'M
plies a sensation of fulncss in the re-.
gion of the stomach, and that means
that toe much food has been taken.
The exact correspondence In a healthy
animal. between the appetite and the
amount OF food required Is cxtraordt'
nary. As u rule. the meal, unless eaten
very slowly. should cease before the
appetite is entirely satisfied, because q
little time is required for the outlying
organs and tissues tO feel the effects
OF the food that has been ingcstcd. II
too little has been taken It Is easy
enough to make II up at the next meal
and the appetite will he only the bet
ter and the food. more grateful.
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little. while mil
lions every day repent having eaten
too much. II has been said that the
great lesson homeopathy taught the
world was this: That, whereas physi.
clans had been in the habit of giving
the patient the largest dose he could
stand, they have been led TO see that
their purpose was better subservcd by
giving him the smallest dose that
would produce the desired effect. And
SO il is with food. Instead Of eating.
AS most people unfortunately do. as
much as they can, they should eat
the smallest amount hat will keep
them in good hcalth.-Century Maya.

The Employees Customer.

Sellers of time are not always VIII
inc to do for their customer what
their customer has Ia do for his GUS
tOmCr.
And who is the customer of the
employe? The employer is. The en-
pIuyer works for the emplOye when
the employe becomes indispensable to
the employer.
But when the employe is common
~ desirable. then the employer buys
time and skin and ability the same as
he does anything else.
Some dealers believe in one-time
customers by taking advantage OF the
customer and making all they can the
first time and not expecting another
opportunity.
Other dealers believe that a trans
action should lead to another and that
To the customers friends.
The employees ability to do is his
stock in trade. His commercial char
acter is what he really is when 1t

JAPANESE WOMEN IN WAR.

The women of japan do not go ont
and fight today as they have done on
rare occasions in the past. WI had
an empress once who led an army
into Korea and fought at the head OF
her soldiers. And oven In the last
century. when the Shotgun made his
last stand against the Mikado, near
ly II thousand women and girls be-
longing To families attached to tho
Shotgun fought behind and upon the
castle walls, and many were killed.
II is different now. Only the men
so out. but there is much left for
the womcn to do. and there Is not n
woman in Japan who will shirk her
duty. Not only must she take care
of the family while the men are away,
but she must work for the soldiers.
Our Empress herself Is the patron of
the Japanese Red Cross Society.
whose president Is always n prince of
the royal house.
The women who act as nurses must
lay aside their kimonas and yea the
regular dress OF a hospital nurse.
Both before and since the wal with
China the women OF Japan have at
tended the hospital training schools,
where instruction liz given by Ameri-
can and European nurses. and there
are now no better nurses In the world

FRENCH HOUSEWIVES THRIFT,

The ~well.known thrift OF the French
housewife Is reflected in the national
finances. 1t is a fact that the distribu-
ton of wealth in France is wider than
in any other European country. The
records of the Courts of Probate in
England and the notarial records in
France afford data for comparison. In
England the 81 ,233 estates admins
tered last year amounted to $1.44O,-
100000, while in France 363,6l2 es-
tates only netted 1854. 425, POI. In other
words, while the English fortunes
were much greater individually than
the French estates, the number Of
property holders in France were five
to one compared with England.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
