ERNEST HAROLD HAYNES.
JAPAN's KEEN DIPLOMACY.

Another factor which distinctly makes for peace is the attitude of Japan. It must be admitted that Japanese states manship has kept pace with Japanese respect of the civilized world on this account. There seems to be no doubt that an informal suggestion for ending the war was brought to the attention of Russia with the connivance of the Mi kado's government. Furthermore, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, Baron Hayashi, has said that his coun- try will treat for peace on the basis of the evacuation of Manchuria by both belligerents. If this is the case ia be- comes morally impossible for Russia to |continue the war. Japan mght havei lad some claim to at least a portion of Manchurian territory as compensation for her losses. No one could have blamed her had she done so. But the Japanese flag in Manchuria would have been a constant temptation to Russia to prepare for another war, and it would also irritate China. Since Rus sia has again and again promised--to the United States, in particular--to withdraw from the province and re- spect the integrity of China refusal to do so, especially after the Japanese offer, would put her still farther be- yond the pale of sympathy.
 This attitude of Japan is diplomacy of the highest sort. The friendship of China is worth much to the island Elm pire, and this she would gain by hand ling over Manchuria to its proper own CT. Furthermore, Japan would then be interested, with the United States and Great Britain, in guaranteeing the in tegrity of China; and such a peaceful combination would bar Russian en- croachments without having to strike blow. Japan would have orea, which lis essential to her growth and pros perity, and which she might we'll re- gard as sufficient compensation for her outlay in lives and treasure. She might Justly insist upon a heavy war indemn- I ity from Russia, although, if Baron Hayashi's remarks have not been mis- understood, she would not make this a sine qua non in treating for peace. This is generous conduct; but it is also shrewd. Japan exchanges immediate rewards for lasting benefits. And such an arrangement would make good the

TRADITIONAL ORIGIN or JAPAN

 One of the traditional accounts of the origin of the. Japanese Empire mem
 toned by the famous Jesuit traveller Pere de CharleVoix, refers it to the
 emigration thither of Chinese colo
 ny-under rather peculiar circumstan-
 ces. Sinosikwo ascended the throne of China in the year 246 B. C., and at
 once entered on career of cruelty
 and tyranny. He was, nevertheless.
 most anxious to enjoy the privileges of his position for as long period as possible. For the purpose of endeav-l bring to obtain some specific agent by which the duration of human life could be prolonged, he dispatched trusted messengers and explorers into all the countries with which he held any communication, or of the where abouts of which he could obtain any
 knowledge. Taking advantage of the circumstances. one of his medical at tendants, who was living in hourly dread of sudden sentence of death, told the Emperor that he had heard that such an agent existed in the juices of plant which grew only in the islands which now form the Japanese Empire. The plant in question was also reported to be one of so delicate structure and sensitive nature that, if not plucked with pure hands and spec ial precaution, it would lose all it's mysterious virtues arriving within the limits of the Chinese Empire. It was suggested that there hundred young men and the same number of girls--all of spotless physical health and moral purity should be selected to proceed to Japan for the purpose of procuring A sufficient SllnnlY of the nrecious

Give Them Their Just Reward.

AS postmaster of Grand Rapids we
are heartily in sympathy and in
accord with the following editorial,
which appeared liz recent issue of
the Milwaukee Journal. At present
the rural carriers are not sufficiently
paid for the work they perform.
The government can afford to pay
them fair wages for the expense they
have to incur and the labor they
perform. We believe in time they
will get their just dues. The Journal
says: "The best that can be said of
the bill that congress is to pass for the
relief of rural free delivery carriers is
that it is nggardly. 1t is a
compromise measure. 1t carries with
it restriction of carrier privileges
and a salary of s720 year. That is
not enough for man and team, and
the man has to pay all of the expenses.
The most lowly kind of teamSter,
with pair of brOken-back nagS, gets
S3 day for hauling dirt. He doesn't
have to exercise any intelligence or
any of the get there spirit. His
work does not even demand thought.
1.-THE work of rural free delivery
carrier is difficult, trying and
tedious as that of city carrier. 1t
is expensive in that it involves the
keeping Of fairly good horses, pay
ment for feed and repair bills, and it
demands intelligence and fidelity as
we'll. Not every man can be trans
formed into successful carrier. The
government is rich institution. 1t
has no money to waste, but plenty
for all legitimate purposes. 1t can
afford to be just. 1t cannot afford
to do the cheap thing, to throw stone
at the carriers when they have asked
for bread.
''The argument that some of
the carriers never had S720 a year
previous to their becoming employees
Of the government is no argument.
Uncle sam has not reached the point
where it is necessary or wise for him
to try to secure human labor for less
than living wages. The S720 bill
should be buried deep, and in it's place
should come a broad-gauge measure
that will cOmport with tie services
required and rendered. None but
good men should be hired, and they
should be paid good wages. The bill
favored by the postotfice committee in
congress is picayunish aud unfair
The carriers are entitled to better
treatment"

IT is difficult to predict the result of
the RuSSo-Japanese war. Thus far it
seems that Japan has established her
supremacy upon the sea. The Siberian
railroads will no doubt play an import
ant part in settling the conflict. II
Japan is able to break this line of
communication, she can probable deal
with the Russians on the coast, other
wise it viii, only be question of time
when Japan will be overwhelmed by

THRER-LAYER CAKES.
coined AZ . Change On the
Dessert List.

Three excellent recipes for layer
cakes are given below. One II sponge
cake made with cream and filed with
layers OF whipped cream. The second
is delicious cocoanut layer cake, and
the third is an economical cake, with q
6lling of grated apple and lemon, says
the New York tribune.
For the sponge layer cake whip up
two eggs with one-quarter Of a cupful
of sugar; then stir in half a cupful OF
thin cream. In another bowl sift ono
and half cupfuls of pastry -four and
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
three of four times-and fold the sifted
-four and baking powder into the eggs.
sugar and cream. Bake this cake in
two layer tins in rather quick oven.
To make the whipped cream filing
stir a scant tablespoonful of English
gelatine into two scant tablespoonfuls
of cold water and let it stand for two
hours. Whip half pint Of rich cream
to stiff froth and lightly fold in a
quarter of a cupful of powdered sugar
and half teaspoonful Of vanilla ex-
tract. The cream may be whipped be-
fore the cake is made ana placed in an
ice chest in a sieve, fitted in . bowl.
to drip. The thin part of the cream,
that will not remain firm, but drips
through the sieve, can be used in the
cake. When the gelatine has stood two
hours melt it by putting 1t in bowl
set in pan of boiling water for few
seconds and then whip it into the
| cream. Cover one layer Of cake with
the stiffened cream and lay the other
over it, covering the top with powdered
sugar. If more layers are wanted split
the two in half and spread the whipped
cream between them.
A white cocoanut layer cake is made
as follows: Cream three cupfuls Of
sugar and one of butter. In another
bowl sift four cupfuls of pastry -four
with two teaspoonfuls of cream of tar
tar and one Of soda. Repeat the sitting
three or four times, and add it and
the whites Of seven eggs, whipped to
a very stiff froth, to the creamed butter
and sugar alternately, stirring in first
a little flour and then some Of the
whipped whites until the ingredients
are all evenly beaten together. Finally
add half a grated cocoanut. If the lat
ter is not quite moist enough stir in
quarter Of cupful of milk and turn II
into large buttered layer cake tins. For
the filling make frosting of the
whites of two eggs, half the cocoanut
the juice and rind of good California
orange and enough powdered sugar to
make a soft icing. Spread this between
the layers and over the top of the cake
The third cake is very economical
and offers pleasant change. To make
it cream one large tablespoonful Of but
ter and one cupful Of sugar. Add one
very thoroughly beaten egg and cup
full Of milk. In another bowl sift two
| cupfuls Of -four with two large tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder. Bake it In
three layers and spread two of the
layers with the following filling: Peel
and CRATE three tart apples and add the
| grated rind and Juice of one lemon
Stir in well beaten egg and cup OF
sugar. Cook the mixture in q bow
set In pan of boiling water until it is
quite thick, and spread over the layers
after it has cooled trifle.
