A PRINCES CONDESCENSIoN.-
Imperial Japanese Guards, who will
exhibit Japanese methods of warfare at
Chase's next week, were granted an
audience while in New York city re-
Gently by Prince Fushimi, who had
just reached there after his event.
full visit to President Roosevelt and the
national capital. The fact that the guards
are appearing in this country by sanction
of the mikado and also that they are
illustrating to the American people in the
theaters, the military development of thu.
Japanese as evidenced in the pending con-
fiict with Russia, induced the prince to
receive them upon plane of friendiness
that would have been impossible in Japan
They were presented to him in regulation
uniform at his hotel and their deep saluta-
lions and submissive demeanor contained
eloquent proof of the love and veneration
given by the people of Japan to those of
the royal blood, as 1t is their belief that the
emperor is an offspring of the sun, and
all his earthly relatives are supposed to be
of more than mortal make.
The ancient religion of Japan, Shinto
worship, teaches that death in the service
of Shaka the god of war, insures safe
passage to the f1owery lands where all the
old crossword men of the sun flag are
gathered.
Fearlessness of death, indeed the desire
to embrace IT, has had much to do with
the desperate and valorous character of the
Japanese in battle with the Russians.
Death rather than defeat, surrender or
captivity is considered UNNECESSARILY pre-
ferable by the Japanese. Only lately the
press has contained many stories in Illus
tration. To see the Guards In their modern
khaki uniforms at Chase's and then to
compare them with the curiously clad
dummy Japanese soldiers in the National
Museum, will give a very clear idea of
the wonderful progress the slant-eyed
people of the island kingdom have made in
military science in the past fifty years.

The issue presented today IN
the trust question and in all the
other questions with which we
have to deal, is the question he
tween human rights and the So
called property rights'-or, more
properly speaking. between ordin-
AIRY people and the great corpora
tious. Those who believe that
property rights are supreme take
the side OF the trusts. Ii we have
president who is in sympathy
with this theory, it means that the
dollar will be given consideration
before the man. Ii means that
organized wealth can continue TO
trample upon the rights of the
people; II means that the instru-
mentalities OF government can be
used for the protection of every
scheme of exploitation that the
capitalists can conceive.
NO one has suffered more from
,iissentious aud divisions in the
party, and no one, ! believe, is
more eager for the country to en-
JOY the great benefits which II
triumph of real Democracy would
bring. But do not desire that
the party shall win offices only.

party, let its principles be aban-
doned and it's platform simply de-
clare the party hungry for the

figure in the present Russian crisis.
Cnalterably opposed to war he
finds himself swayed by patriotism
in spite OF all the precepts of
peace which he has advanced for
the last half century. He has
struggled against his feeling Of
patriotism. because, in common
with Schopenhauer and other
philosophers, he believes patriot
ism to be wrong and productive of
evil, but he has struggled in vain.

WERE ARDENT PEDESTRIANS.

.sChristopher North (Prof. John Wiison), giant over six feet high, whose thread seemed almost to shake the streets" thought nothing of tramp ing forty miles in eight hours, Or of walking from Liverpool to Elleray, a distance of eighty miles, in q day. Wordsworth, though he could never have kept pace with Wilson's swinging stride, was always good for twenty mile stroll, and used to boast that he had walked six times 'round the earth Charles Dickens was always at his happiest when he was stridtng gayly along country lanes at a good five miles an hour. On one memorable occasion he covered twenty miles flair heel and toe'' in a shade over four hours, and very proud he was of his deed. Prof. Fawcett blind though he was, tramped his thirty miles many day over Cambridge roads; and in our day, Mr. Swinburne, MT. Bryce and MT. John Davidson, the poet, might well be matched against any other three pedestrians of equal years in England. From the Westminster Gazette.

POINT OF VIEW IN LANDSCAPES

The observations of Peter K. Pat terson of Chicago concerning the Eng fish landscape are original and exclu- sive. Mir Patterson says:
 ''The great disadvantage of a per son desiring to look at an English landscape is that he will find an ab- sence of fences to sit on, and the ground is usually too damp to. allow one to lie at full length. While in Eng land last summer I missed very much the. rail fences of my own country. l would come to a pretty scene, and my legs sinking from under me, 1 would look about for a place to sit. The landscape gave no suggestion.
 How different in this land of ours The top rail of good fence is as good seat as one could wish. Of course, much depends upon the shape and DO sition of the rail. Sometimes the up per rail may be sharp and knotted One has to walk but short distance however, before a perfect seat can be found Whenever landscape is to be viewed i'll America I have found that nature has always put at mans dis posal the properly shaped rail.
 England is poor place for one who has artistic tastes. s."-Louisville Herald.

 In nearly all the large cities of this country Mormon missionaries are at work, and in the country districts of the south, noticeably among the mountain eers of Tennessee, have they reaped large harvests of followers.

PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS
With Proper Care, as Prescribed Be- low, the Blossoms May Be Kept
 for Several Days.

The best time to cut flowers to keep suns rays have reached them. A knife or pair of scissors should al ways be used to clip them off, as they should be cut smooth and clean from the stem and never pulled or broken off, says the Designer Flowers not fully de- veloped will keep the longest, but they should reach their maturity of color and size before being cut After they are cut they should be kept in cool, shady place, and care taken to prevent drying winds from blowing upon them. If they are to be kept over night, or for sev- eral days, it is a good plan to put them in a pitcher or pan of water, and cover the whole with paper framed like balloon, then set away in dark, cool place. In this way they will have plenty of air, darkness and moisture, which are essential to preservation of cut flow CTS. If wanted to carry long distance, they should be packed tightly in bunch. The best way is to procure wooden or stiff pasteboard box, line it with oiled paper or tinfoil, and place a layer of OdApCuCO luO6S Ill IuC NOG~ tom, and upon this the flowers. They should be put in carefully, so that none of the petals will be crushed or receive too much pressure, then given slight sprinkling of pure water, covered with oiled paper, and the box closed tightly. Tn this manner they can be carried long distance, and If not allowed to stand in the sun or remain in a warm room, they will come out as fresh as when first cut. When flowers are kept in a vase the water should be renewed every morning. The ends of the stems should be clipped off and all decaying leaves re- moved. Many recipes have been given for preserving cut flowers every morn ing, putting the ends of the stems in boiling water, etc., but nothing preserves them so we'll as keeping them dark, cool and moist and giving them pure water. Charcoal is sometimes used to keep the water pure, but keep ing them supplied with fresh water is better.
