all the services of the church.
2 Read some portion of the Holy
Gospel every day, and add to your
usual devotion some special prayers.
8. Let no day pass without some act
OF seIf-denial, and, if possible, let this
act be to the comfort of a poor or sick
person.
4. Let determination be a daily
duty, before rest at night.
3. Deny yourself some luxury, often,
and let the cost of it be added to your
Easter offering. The cost of self.de
NAL should be given, not saved.

amusement.
Z. Let your reading be such as to aiG

A Cure for Eczema,

My baby had Eczema so bad that it's
head was a solid mass of scabs, and it's
dies but none seemed to do any good

are gone and the little ones scalp is
pt TT ectly clean and healthy, and its hair

whether its desires would be the same IL
the Monroe doctrine were not in the way
who can say?
Mr. Chamberlain does not believe that
there is any danger that Germany will at
tempt TO claim these colonies; it is incon-
ceivable that she would be rash as to
defy the Monroe doctrine and provoke war
with the powerful Republic of Brazil at the
same moment Nor does he believe that
there is any danger that the Ger
man colonists will revolt and ask for
annexation to Germany. since such annexa-
ton. while immensely advantageous to Ger
many. would have no advantages for the
colonsts themselves. Yet he thinks the
brazilians are right in fearing 1.-The German
danger" All the progress, wealth and en-
terprise of Brazil are found in the region
from Rio de Janeiro TO the southern bound
airy. The cry for friendly separation into
sister republics has gone UP from both
the north and the south during the last
decade; the south feels that the vast I'M
developed north is a clog upon its prog
ress; the north is indignant that the south
usurps all the power and all the offices. AS
these differences seem likely to grow great
er instead of less. it is probable that the
division may really come, and, If 1T does,
southern Brazil will be practically Ger
man republic. The wealth and the business
of these provinces is largely in the hands
of Germans to-day. Germans in Sac Paulo
control half the coffee supply of the world.
A large immigration from Germany would
follow the erection of these southern States
into separate republic. and the Brazilian
population would be lost in the energy, en-
terprise and increasing numbers of the Ger
man settlers.

HERBERT sPENCER,s ADVICE.

Some time before his death Herbert
Spencer wrote a letter to Baron Kaneko.
one OF the foremost statesmen of japan.
III which, in answer to certain questions,
he advised the Japanese to allow no privi-
leges to people of other races than their
own, and especially TO keep Americans and
Europeans at arms length. The only
forms Of intercourse they could with safety
permit he said, were those which are in
dispensable for the exchange of commodi-
ues-importation and expectation Of physi-
cal and mental products. Apparently you
are proposing by revision of the treaty with
the powers of Europe and America" he
wrote, Ito open the whole empire to for
eigners and foreign capital. 1 regret this
as fatal policy. If you wish to see what
is likely to happen. study the history of
India" He warned his correspondent that
step by step these foreigners would en-
croach upon native rights until eventually
the subjugation of the entire Japanese en-
pire would come about. II believe" he
added. that you will have great difficulty
In avoiding this fate in any case, but you
will make the process easy if you allow of
any privileges TO foreigners beyond those
which / have indicated" He urged that
japanese be prohibited from marrying
Americans or Europeans. that the Japanese
government exclude foreigners from the
Japanese coasting trade, and that foreign
ers be refused permission to work mines
in Japan. On this last point he laid special
stress. He requested that this letter be
kept secret while he lived. as he did not
wish to arouse the animosities of his coun-
trymen.
This advice is said by an English paper
published in Japan TO have had profound
influence oil japanese foreign policy. Mr..

Spencer being regarded in that country as
ore of the worlds wisest .men. IL is con-
sdered probable that the letter may have
been one of the causes of the exclusive
policy toward foreigners adopted by the
Mikados government about that time. out
OF that exclusive policy has come the ag-
gressive movement eliminating in the
present war, and Spencer the man of
peace. may be said TO have a degree of
responsibility for the conflict.
Herbert Spencer was a wise man, phil
osopher, a student of men and events. yet
1t needed neither philosophy nor profound
wisdom to qualify him to give the advice
rendered in his letter. Any man familiar
with history and with the aggressive char
acteristics and masterful tendencies of the
white race could have advised wisely.
The history of the world is full of instances
of the subjugation of weaker races by the
stronger. 1t is one of the inevitable things
feature of evolution. The subjugated
races have vanished from the earth, but
the conquering peoples could no more pre-
vent this than they could prevent the
movement of the tides. They simply fol-
lowed the dictates of the nature that was
In them and became supreme by law as
fixed as that which compels tree to grow
upward. And even though the inferior
races went to the wall, if there is anything
In civilization for the betterment of hui
mainly the supremacy attained tended to
the improvement of the world.
Japan is. however. in a different position
from most of the nations that have en-
dured subjugation. She has a civilization
of her own and is rapidly adopting the best
features of Western development. She has
come into prominence but lately and is
now only trying her strength. She is right
in keeping foreigners at arms length, and,
much as these same foreigners may re-
greet this action on their own account, they
must admit in fairness that it was the only
course that could in justice have been ad-
vised by one asked for counsel.
