an international commission of inquiry is

Russia, Japan and The Hague Tribune

To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
In view of the threatened difficulties be-
tween Russia and Japan 1t is worth while
to recur to the provisions of The Hague
peace convention of 1890, which might be
regarded as having possible value.
Articles II and III of The Hague conven-
ton read as follows:
I'm case Of serious disagreement or con-
f1ict, before an appeal to arms, the sig
natory powers agree to have recourse, as
far as circumstances allow, to the good
offices or mediation of one or more friendly
powers.
Independently of this recourse, the Sig
natory powers recommend that one or more
powers. strangers to the dispute. should, on
their own initiative, and as far as circum-
stances may allow. offer their good offices
or mediation to the states at variance.
Powers, strangers to the dispute, have
the right to offer good Offices or mediation,
even durinG. the course Of hostilities.

Take Your Time Eating.

Here is an example that is worth re-
Numbering and following. Horace
Fletcher writes of an experience that
he had while travelling ON a railway
with the proverbial twenty minutes
for dinner in which to satisfy a labor
ing mans appetite. There was an ex-
cellent array of good things on the
lunch counter to eat and drink, and
from these he made a selection rather
than attempt the regular dinner. He
chose plump ham sandwiches, creamy
milk and a large piece Of pie. The
twenty minutes was ample time for
dispOsing of sandwiches and milk,
while he had the pie put in paper to
give epicurean enjoyment on the train.
He says:
IF had put the pie and sandwiches
and the milk into my stomach in seven
or eight minutes, which. by actual OBJ
servation, is the gluttonOus rate Of dis

The Oldest system by which men
have told the time of day is sundials
There are sundials still in existence
since long before the Christian era. In
fact, they have been found in Egypt
dating before the pharaohs. The In
dams and wild nations told the time
by the position of the shadows Of
trees or mountains. The Chinese have
carried the art of sundials to perfec-
ton and even today use pocket sun
dials instead of watches. One Chinese
matchmaker has arranged his front
porch in such a way the shadow of the
posts tells the time by which to regu-
late the watches.-Ada Paterson in Pill

The onion is a vegetable Of great an
dquity, being found among the earliest
Of cultivated species. A kind of onion
grown in Egypt 1900 years and more
ago was considered 80 excellent that it
received divine honors, being worship
ed as a god. This was considered a
good joke by the Romans of those days,
who, as we'll as the Greeks, were &C
quainted with several varieties of on
ions. 1t Is likely that the plant first
grew in Persia or Afgha nistan. Garlic
has been raised In China for thousands
Of years, and the ancient Egyptians
made great use Of it. No picture of it
has ever been found on the monuments,
but this may be because the plant was
considered unclean by the priests.

SMILE AS YOU 90.
Everybody Loves the Man VITA o
Shining COunteManCe.


Brighter than the most brilliant Of
gems, electrifying with radiance that
does not dazzle so much as it calls
forth a reflection Of brightness, is the
shining countenance.
The soul of each man is sun of in
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shinei
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine life!
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps Of fear and evil, center them
on the ideals of faith and love, on good
intentions for others, and your counte-
nance is at once Illuminated.
Look in a mirror, and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self of all troubles. be peaceful, be
still, cease all your repining; then your
countenance will shine. ..
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by change Of
thought suggests what power there 10
in a renewed habit of thought, habit
created by repeated conscious repo0e-
full efforts of calm. concentrated think
ing in line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by bright thought, but the whole
body. The atoms are SO many worthless
of ether. and the central force of each
is the mind.
A shining countenance is smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, ana
you cannot but be pleased. Then .you
will smile, you will laugh with joy, BE-
cause of lifes possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You VIII
reach them easier if you will but smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad. and your love for 9th
ers will show this so. This is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance The mere fact Of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions of duty. the conclu-
sions Of biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days.
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such a man will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter or lire; ne
will intuitively grasp the meaning OF
things; he will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he will be re-
ceived as the Son Of Man, true exem-
plar of his race. a leader in the evOlu-
ton of humanity; he will be an encour-
agement and an incentive to all.
