ABOUT JAPAN.

Japan is making the last stand OF
Asia. 1t it fails, Asia ceases to be
separate integer in human develop
ment, and becomes an appanage or
Europe. If Japan wins, 1t has wrestled
we'll and overthrown more than IT'S
enemies. 1t will become the teacher,
first of China and then Of wider Asia.
Japanese education wisely retains Chi
nese as it's classic tongue, playing the
part in the training which Greek and
Latin play, or did play, in our own
scheme of liberal study. It's admins
traitors and officers are alone In KNOW
ing both Chinese classics and modern
science. They are ready for this task.
They have already begun it. The pres
tige of victory will give them author
ity and acceptance in remodeilng
China. Japan, after all, is alone in
raising an Asiatic state to free self
government. Its institutions are less
like ours than they seem on the sur
face. Prescription plays the prodIgious
part it always has In. Asiatic society.
The sense of personal loyalty to the
emperor is strong to a degree no Eu-
ropean, much less an American, can
appreciate or understand. That sin
gular attitude of mind which permits
what to US seems abasement in atti-
tude, ceremony and action, and yet
preserves a complete self-respect, is re-
tanned by the Japanese. They vote.
they have parties, they practice an
amazing freedom of speech in Japan;
but at the final limit political action
is bounded and controlled by inf1u-
enres and principles unknown and
alien to the West, but perfectly COM
prehensible to the Asiatic, who never
forgets that the state and it's supreme
head is greater than himself, his party
or his policy. Japan has the secret of
using European science without ceas-
ing to be Asiatic. 1t is a shallow view
of the japanese nation which regards
IT as Europeanized. 1t remains at the
core Asiatic. What it has borrowed is
small by the side of what it has re-
tanned. The prospect, strong twenty
years ago, that it's upper and fntelli-
gent classes would adopt Christianity,
has vanished. There has come instead
renaissance of Shinto faith, a revival
of Buddhism-just as Islam grows
stronger in every Moslem country
and a widespread desire to preserve
the Japanese attitude in faith, in NOR
ais and in social life. The Japanese
soldier and sailor-in arms armament,
uniform, organization, discipline and
drills European, but he addresses
himself to his task with reckless dis
regard of life, a secrecy, a subordina-
ton and a freedom from personal am
bition which recall Asiatic rather than
European tradition.-From what Is
Really at Stake in ASIA by Talcott
Williams, in the April Booklovers
Magazine.

recognized by crude man. The preSi-
dent Of the Rubinstein club, who Is also
third vice president of the Women's
Republican club, is studying medicine
and has about completed her work for
the degree. Her labor is not for the
money nor the fame, but for the good
her charity may do as superintendent of
a free clinic for women and children
which she will endow. Mrs. Harry
Wallerstein's ambitious plan requires
study as well as money, and she is only
one of the many women In New York,
most of their works unknown, who
make sacrifices for the good of their
unfortunate sisters.
Perhaps no woman has escaped the
observation of the newspapers in re-
spect of her charities as, much as Mrs.
Elliott F. Shepard. Long before her
husband died, decade or more ago,
this daughter of the house of Wander
bilt made society miss her while she
gave her mornings to her children and
her afternoons to the hospitals in
which she was then, as now, interested.
No woman in the city gave SO much
time to charity from 1886 to 1900, and
if Mrs. Shepard has withdrawn some
what from her old activities because of
the sorrows that have come with the
y
clasp off and her private secretary is
kept busy doing some kindly act for
Mrs. Shepard.
1t was so with Mrs. Edward Dudley
Field in the days of long ago. Now
the nice, winsome woman is trying to
mend her health in far-off Africa,
where the cable will bring her the re-
gretful news of her sons tragic death.
To lose her husband by insanity and
fortune that he squandered to find her
father in-law, Cyrus Field, bankrupt,
at almost the same time, her income
cut off and her grief increased by an
other family trouble, was the unkind
fate of Mrs. Field In her years of
sunshine, from 1880 to 1890, she helped
young authors, was the mainstay of
maternity hospital, and forsook the
gilded dreams of society. These wom-
en- are few of the thousands who are
glad to do their work and escape the
fame of it.
In all of this city there are but two
coats of what Miss Bennett, one of the
wearers, calls baby lamb zibeline."

and silky looking, like fine, thick,

Another gown effectively trimmed
with this style of trimming Is of gray
wolfe over blue taffeta. The skirt is
full and Is inset with three bands Of
repousse lace, dyed to match, and edged
with ruchings Of gray and blue
schangeable taffeta. The bodice has
deep shirred yoke and Is inset with
one band Of the lace edged with the
silk ruches and the sleeves are like
wise inset with lace and are finished
with lace ruff1es at the wrist.
The first spring garment that one
really needs is a separate coat of either:
covert, cloth or some similar coating
material, and as the good shops are
now showing a, large assortment of
these jackets one should not delay too
long in procuring such a coat.
The smartest models are made with
out collars, are double breasted and
have regular coat sleeves, somewhat
larger, however, than last years to al
low for the voluminous dress sleeves of
the present time, and are tight fitting
with strapped or box seams.

THE WISE eNoME.

Within deep and darksome wood there
lived a learned gnome,
And in an ancient saucepan he made his
coy home.
His name was so impressive, it filed
every one with awe
IT was Diomed Diogenes Demosthenes de
Graw.
His fame for wisdom was so great that
even passing birds
Would stop and listen eagerly to Do
med's wise words.
One day two little ub-jub birds were
walking by that way.
They paused and said: "Oh, Diomed, do
teach us something pray
cay, ay," the ancient gnome replied:

ON THE STAGE AND OFF.
How Gillette, the Actor, Differs From
Gillette, the Private Citizen.

William Gillette is exceedingly fin
icky so far as his own stage costume
is concerned, although his garb is I'M
obtrusive as possible off the stage.
While he was playing sherlock
Holiness he had his nails highly polish
ed each night, and his hands made pink
by rubbing rouge between the fingers
before powder was applied to them.
Another difference between the stage
Gillette and the man in private is in
the matter of tobacco. 1t is said of
him that he never appears in a play
without smoking. Even in "The Adj
mirable Crichton,'' in which he has
been so successful in New York, where
the comedy ran for months, he smokes
a pipe. In sherlock Holmes Secret
Service Held by the Enemy" TOO
Much Johnson and others of his plays
he made smoking a conspicuous fea-
ture of his characterization. Off the
stage Mr.. Gillette scarcely ever smokes.

Hot Times Coming.

There will be two elections in this
State this year. The first III will be
held on Monday, the 23d day OF May,
and the next, or general election. on
Tuesday, November 9Th.
Already states are being made and
would-be leaders coming to the front,
but as politics are like men, very uncer
tain, many are already doomed to disap-
pointment, but as they don't feel that
way, just let them go On with their little
schemes, and when the time is ripe for
the conventions of the two parties, every
thing will be in fine running order for
those who will be selected "boss" of
either party, and the would be leader,
like Maud Muller, can sit IN a bale of
hay and chew the straws that come his
way.
The school election promises to be
hotly contested, and it is said that some
of our citizens are spoken Of as probable
candidates, who, when the time arrives
will, in all probability, refuse to enter
the race for this thankless Office.

Everybody Should Take an Interest.

1t is to the interest of everyone in the
community to take a keen interest in
local mining affairs and help the pros
pector. By expanding a little money 10
this way the ~prospector is enabled to de-
velop his property, and if a strike is
made those who are in on the ground
floor will have something worth their
while. In the past several of our people
have c~ontented themselves by purchas-
ing mining shares, which is also advis-
able, but if they can develop good prop.
erty they will make much more money
and at the same time aid the prospector.
At any rate all money property expend-
ed in development work is well spent,
because it assists in opening up the dis
trict and it may also be the NEAR OF
making many people wealthy.

Some discussion has been going the
rounds OF the State press regarding the
way in which they have been treated by
the last preceding Legislatures. WIZ
could not the editors of Nevada, ire
spective of political utilization meet and
form a press organization, and discuss
not newspaper making alone, but the
needs of the State, especially along in
dustrial lines and the laws that may aid
or that are liable to impede or discour-
age improvement. We feel that Nevada
is not keeping pace, in view OF its many
advantages, with some of the other
western States.
