sounded, the brakes pulled on, the train began
to sacken It's speed, windows thrown up ques-
tons asked, and confusion reigned among the pas
sengers. The old lady sat calmly through it all
little dreaming that she was the cause of the ex
element. Presently the conductor came running
through the train and asked: ''Who pulled the
bell" Il did replied the old lady, meeldy what

We cannot, indeed, ignore the tendencies in our
nature that would bring us to hiDher broader
truer life without ignoring that which is best in our
being. We would thereby clip the wings of the soul
IN the unholy attempt to keep it grabbing on the
earth forever. The progress of the world. the hu-

upon individual men are all the effect OF fine nm

The present ruler, however well disposed to yield
to the popular demand is ruled and governed by his
ministers whose sole reliance is on the army Tn
like the French revolutionists who held sacred the
French nation, and the integrity of French terri

not be slaves. They want constitutional govern

The japanese, though pagan, owe more of their
success TO the cardinal principles of SINTO and
BUDSDO creeds. which inculcate blind obedience
10 the laws of their sovereign than any other
agency. Their practical precepts are love- loyalty
and patriotism for their country. They are taught
to be exact in the practical obedience of the laws of
the realm, and the commands of their prince they
always obey with degree of patriotism seldom sur
passed. The present rejoicing over that great sue
cess stands in deep contract with the revolutionary
spirit that has taken hold Of the cars subjects
