ing with the pride that alone belongs
to the fortunate fisherman.
The wit eagerly engaged Eaton on
some foreign matter totally uncon-

consequently the bag was not opened.
Arriving at the ferry the pair sepa-
rated with good wishes for future ex-
cursions.
Eaton never felt more anxious to
arrive at his destination as on that
evening. When he did arrive he
called upon the whole household to
be witnesses TO his good fortune, and
throwing his bag on a table opened it
to find not even a sucker, but instead,
and to his horror, a quantity of fish
ing tackle, two large bottles, scattered
and superfiuous sandwiches, slouch
hat and a pair of overalls.

~ HE conference at Lake Mohonk international
arbitration is intended to define and prepare the
American position that will be urged upon the in
tcr:ationa conference ST. Louis. That position will
favor arbitration treaties between all countries with
view to progressive disarmament.
1t is believed that this country has reached such
position among the powers of the world that its choice
and advice in the will influence them all. This
suit IS directly aided by the warnings sounded by
tain French and German publcists against what they
call the ambitious designs OF the United States Ii their
governments believe the alarm be we'll grounded
be all the ready attend greater conference
than The Hague which the work that followed the
Cars call will receive its necessary supplement
While cannot be admitted that the analogy between
the disputes nations and the disputes of individuals
complete the parity sufficient to justify the in
stution of just and lawful methods for the settlement
of most of the international disputes individuals form
ery settled all differences by personal combat In those
days the physically weak had rights because they
could not defend them. When system of jurisprudence
arose and law and justice udiciay enforced the
strong and weak equalized. and the weak were
panoplied with protection for their rights Observation
compes the admission that large part of the of
war between nations be subjected the same
process by arbitration, and will thereafter have its
principal only in the refusal of the loser abide
by the judgment.
AS there is higher judicial tribunal than the arbi-
tral court, the only appeal from will be arms IN
less the appellant nation have very strong the
worlds sympathy will be denied it. We incline to the
opinion that the Mohonk plan, carried out will emi-
nate far that desirable result be obtained.

japanese Prints.

The Chinese exercised the art Of
printing centuries before it was known
in Europe. and this applies also TO il
lustrations by means of engraved
blocks When the Japanese adopted it
from them is not certain, but engrav-
ings are extant which date from the
thirteenth century.
typography was first employed in
the service OF religion for reproducing
texts and images of the Buddha This
was followed by the production of pub

on a par with those in Uld-time chat

mounts a broad stairway to a turn
adorned with marbles and Towering
plants. From here one passes into an
ante-room and from there into the
drawing-room, out of which opens Ma
dame Ristori's sanctum.
The sanctum is the most interesting
room in the house. 1t is small and
comfortably carpeted and furnished.
The walls are hung with all kinds of
old-fashioned pictures of the actress
in various roles and as a young wife
and mother, and even as child.
There are many portraits. too. of celeb
rites and royalties. who have person
ally presented their photographs. BY
the window, well in the light, stands
the famous woman's desk, scattered
over with elegant trifies in silver, let
tiers and papers, and adorned by large
photographs Of Queen Margharita and
Queen Elena, with dedications in their
hand writing. Here the aged actress
sits, meditating, reading and writing.
The daily life of the celebrated ac-
tress is simple in the extreme. She
rises somewhat late, after cup of
coffee in bed and, if the day is fine,
goes for a drive in a closed carriage,
together with Donna Blanca She re-
turns after an hour or two, has her
grandchildren in to amuse her and
about noon they all have lunch to-
gether, the children making this the
most cheerful hour of the day for their
grandmother. After lunch she rests
and usually does not go out again. She
often has some one read 10 her while
she sits, sometimes knitting, sometimes
dreaming In the evening she seldom
goes out, except to the theater, and
there she is often to be seen, especially
on first nights. She made a special ef-
fort when King Edward was in Rome
and went TO the English embassy on
purpose TO be presented to his Majesty,
whose father had been one of her most
fervent admirers, and who had pre-
sented her with a souvenir.

COH5iHcHg.

How nearly akin are tragedy and
it's opposite extreme, the ludicrous. is
not better demonstrated than in the
unconscious humor which is be-
ing daily disseminated by an
aged cripple on Market street.
She is an old woman, bent
and twisted with the weight of years
and of sickness-it is charity, indeed,
to believe this much atleast. She crawls
along the sidewalk with a peculiarly
appealing half hitch and double
schuffie, accompanied by groans and
much twisting of the mouth. Two
canes tump-tump the signal of her
coming to the ears of the throng.
Truly she is a tragic ruin. But to
make assurance doubly sure she has
hung about her neck by a white
cotton string a piece of shoe box upon
which is scrawled this legend;
