JAPAN'S RAPID PROGRESS
Has Converted Herself Into a Power,
ful Nation in the Last Quarter
Of Century.

When visited Yeddo and the
ports Of Japan in the winter of
1S6O-61 the country was ruled
upon the most exclusive Japanese
methods, wrote Lord Wolseley in
the Cosmopolitan in 1895. The
people were held in subjection By
a hereditary nobility who ruled
them with rod of iron. They
were then far behind China in all
matters connected with sea DOW
er, for in order to prevent any
communication with foreign
places all Japanese junks were, in
accordance with the law, CON
structed with low, open sIerns,
so that they dared not venture be-
yond few miles from shore.
No one can be blind to the enor-
nous strides in progress Japan
has made, the immense reforms
she has effected and the powerful
nation she has converted herself
into during the last quarter of a
century. The result is the crea-
ton of a power in the eastern seas
that must in future be always
taken into consideration by west
ern statesmen.

Turkish Beds.

A recent writer on Turkey says:
"Bedsteads are not used by the
Turks. Each room contains a
large cupboard, built into the
wall, in which the bedding is piled
during the day, and at night the
slaves come in when summoned to
make up the beds on the floor.
Other bedroom requisites, in the
shape of washstands, dressing
tables and wardrobes, are dis
pensed with as superfuous. For
everyday ablution there is a small
washing room with a hole in the
floor for the water to escape
through, and if the hanun would
wash her hands and face only, a
slave brings the ever and basin
and pours the water over her
hands. For special ablutions she
will 60 either to her own private
hammam or to the public baths.
She does her hair or has it done
for her, seated cross-legged in her
corner of the divan; and the old
walnut-wood chests and Golfers in
her treasure-room suffice to stors.
her gauzes and brocades, her silks
and embroideries."
