"Little Japan"
From the London Spectator.

From the LONDON spectator.
There is one illusion about Japan
which seems to survive evidence and to
work most serious political mischief The
continental powers, and Russia more es-
pecially, cannot get rid of the belief that
the island empire, however brave or as
tute or lucky it's children may be, is,
after all, but little state, which in a
very short time must bleed to DEATH"
1t is not very easy to trace the origin
of this belief, unless it be the habit of
expecting great size in all Asiatic en-
pires, or of comparing the area of Japan
with that of Russia itself So compared,
Japan is, of course, a little place, which
looks on the maps almost insignificant.
Compared, however, in a more sensible
way, with the other island empire which
has so long been one of the great powers
of the world, Japan is by no means small.
It's total area, without counting Formosa,
is by 27,000 square miles greater than
that of the British Isles, and as large a
proportion of it is fertile and thickly
populated. That population, again, is A.
000, 900, or 100000 greater than our own
(190D, 100000 greater than that of
France, and almost equal to that Of Aus
tria Hungary.
If the word "little," again, refers to
strength for war, that strength is in
many respects superior to our own. We
would probably destroy the Japanese
fleet, but the Japanese feet has destroyed
that of Russia, and could, If allowance is
made for position, maintain a contest
with that of France or Germany which
would not be absolutely hopeless. AS re-
CARDS soldiers, Japan has a CONSUMPTION,
and the CONSUMPTION obviously works.
Within the last six months the country
has sent out six armies, each nearly equal
to either of the forces that commended at
Waterloo. We thought we had done
great thing when we sent $4,000 men to
India in 1851 and an extraordinary one
when we transported 100000 men to South
Africa in 1900. But Japan has transported
more than 100000 men across the sea, and
is now defying the Russians at Liaoyang
and Port Arthur with armies greater in
the aggregate than that which Napoleon
III modified for the invasion of Ger
many.

CINCINNATI, December 12.-For the fifth
time within two months the Newport Iron
Foundry and Machine Companys building,
Newport, KY, was dynamited late last
night. No lives were lost and the workmen
in the place all escaped injury. Two men
were seen running east in 18th street i'm
mediately after the explosion, but they
eluded their pursuers. A great hole was
torn in the roof of the coal room where

good things that are to furnish the next
meal Of the light housekeepers.
But nothing put up in this fashion
Is delivered by the store. The men and
women who order these hampers big
and little, carry them home themselves
or send servants or messenger boys to
fetch them.
From 4 O'Clock onward to the closing
of the store women crowd it to order
or to obtain their meals. 1t is the odd
est marketing in New York, and it is
growing in fashion to astonish people
with fully appointed homes and elab-
crate kitchens.
When business is not too active. and
especially in the morning, the method
of making retail sales by sample lie
employed. If woman comes along
and inquiries the price Of pickles, at
once the eager saleswoman begs her to
try one. If the trial results in a pur-
chase the saleswoman calls other small
articles to the attention Of the Gus
toner.
The latter tries the pickles, pre-
serves, perhaps sliced canned pound
cake or plum pudding, buying as she
eats, and the saleswoman. more and
more interested as the appetite for
both the present and the future seems
to increase, continues to press all sorts
Of delicacies upon her
Perhaps the customers eyes catch
sight Of a can Of tomato bouillOn. She
inquiries the price. and In half min
ute she il seated at table or the
counter with the soothing suggestion
from the saleswoman that hot cup OF
bouillon will refresh her.
Tiny crackers are mt hand. and at
length the customer leaves after hav-
Ing eaten a fairly hearty midmorning

thing she has tasted. There are women
who already begin to work these stores

saleswoman flags when orders do not
