AS TO JAPAN,s TERMS OF PEACE

The Independent - The argument
that Japan is a pagan nation has pre-
cisely the quality of that criticism
which the committee OF estimable
clergymen made to President Lincoln
upon Gen. Grant, that he relied too
much on his whisl1ey, and it should 5e
taken in the spirit of Lincoln's humor-
GUS reply If Japan's achievements
are a product of her paganism, the
sooner the Christian world cultlvates
that particular kind OF paganlsm tho
better off we shall be in both morals
AMI worldly success. A nation thai
can conduct a government without
corruption, keep her word to the letter,
do things instead of Boosting and In
maintaining vast army on foreign
soil lose fewer men by illness than IN
battle, obviously has some OF the quail
tiles That st. Paul recommended IN the
18th chapter of his Epistle to the
Romans, AMI which the Christian ma
lions have not been too diligent to re-
member. Indeed, Emperor William
forgetting his yellow peril picture,
now says that it is the Christian vlr-
tues of JapaI4 that have enabled ner
to win against Russia
AS for the contention that by eX-
torting these terms Of peace Japan will
become dangerously formidable ORR
entail power, it is worthy Of that par
ticular specimen of the schooIboy who
occupies the Ounce block. Japan
either is formidable oriental power
or she is not. II she is, the conces-
sion of these terms Of peace will not
make her stronger the denial OF them
will not make her weaker. III she IS
not formidable she will not be able 10
hold any nominal advantage that these
terms may seem to give her The real
question is. what are her elements OF
strength and how are they likely 10
I:levelop? If she has the resources anu
the military genius to dominate the
east, any refusal 10y the western "orIu
to concede the advantages that she mas
won in The present war will amount to
as mucn as did the Withholding from
her of the. fruits of her victory over
China. 1t is only question OF time
when she will get what she wants. If
she has the ingenuity AMI the industry
to develop a vast manufacturing actiy-
ity she will force her way into the mar
kets of the east, whether the western
world wants her to do so or not. If
her people have the vitality, the tenn
perance and the frugality to multiply
more rapidly than the people of the
west, no cry of yellow peril will pre-
vent their spreading over great areas
that are now occupied by less vigorous
stocks.

URUGUAY AND ITS CAPITAL.

video, a little to the southeast of
Buneos Ayres, is just across the River
la Plata from the Argentine capital,
but that diagonal line is 120 miles, a
nights journey by steamer. Running
down from Brazil through Uruguay is
a continuous mountain riige, along
which, it is said, one could walk across
Uruguay and into Brazil without get
| ting his feet wet. On the end of that
ridge, which juts out into the Atlantic
where the Rio de la Plata touches the
sea, is built the city of Montevideo,
the capital of the republic of Uruguay.
On another point, across the bay, is
the little mountain point from which
the city has derived its name, Monte
| vi1eo-a mountain l see.
| From the summit of this mount one
looks over the bay and the end of the
ridge just mentioned, into the Atlantic
ocean. On the point between the bay
and the sea is the main part of the
city, beginning at tle water front and
running UP the slope and along the
back of the ridge.
Most of the residences are one-story
fat-roofe1 houses, but above them rise
the churches with their towers and
domes, and also other high buildings.
The city abounds in open squares, or
plazas, as the Spanish call them, some
of which are pretty parks, and a few
are open places that would do for

pendencia, which is SO named in COM
memoration Of the independence of
Uruguay. Here are the government
buildings.
The government of Uruguay, at the
present time, is liberal. There are
two leading political parties-the Col
orados and the Blancos; or, in English,
the re1s and the whites. The SYM
/ patty of the Roman Catholic clericals
has been with the whites rather than
the reds, though possibly the lines are
no so sharply drawn as formerly. The
reds are now in power, and the recent
revolution was an effort on the part of
the whites to drive the reds. or lib
erals, from power by force of arms.
The government, however, was ulti-
mately successful, SO tnat the Color
ADDS still retain the offices.
The president of the republic is a
red; that is to say, liberal, anil
though in a Roman Catholic country,
he does not call himself a Romanist.
He does not identify himself with any
church, but he is liberal in his views
Regarding the evangelical churches.
His breaking away from strict Roman
ism is indicated by his marriage. 1t
is said his marriage was not by a
priest or bishop, but according ito the
civil process, by judge or magistrate
of some rank; and it is stated that,
after he attained the presidency, the
highest women in the land in large
numbers appealed to him to be mar
ried by a priest, and SO recognize the
church, but this he emphatically re-
fused to 10. This shows decided
breaking away from the church of
Rome.

Beach Sands.

A party of chauffeurs were walking
along Cape May beach. One of them
picked up a handful of sand and said:
'Why is it that one beach is firm
enough for motor cars, while another
is SO soft child can hardly walk on
itW "The sand In your hand answers
that question: the second chauffeur
replied. "See how fine it is" The
sand was, indeed, as fine as dust, as
fine as talcum powder. "The finer a
sand is the more closely it will pack
and, by consequence, the firmer sur
face it will offer,' went on the second
chauffeur. "This fine sand here makes
a roadbed many feet in depth-a road
bed you couldn't pack more closely if
you rolled it hundred years with a
hundred ton roller. Study the sand at
Long Branch or Asbury Park. 1t is
prettier than this. 1t is made Of sep

Remarkable Lunar Rainbow.

risen above the tops of the distant
woods, and the bow in the west was

rainbow colors were distinct, but pale,

: Russian Discipline.

General Dragomiroff, the Russian
military expert, rose from the ranks
and always dressed according to the
army regulations for the common sol
der. One day while driving about st.
Petersburg in his carriage he noticed
soldier with hair longer than the reg
ulations called for. He had the horses
stopped, alighted and, taking off his
hat, ordered the soldier to seize him
by the hair. The soldier hesitated He
feared to lay violent hands on his gen
eral; besides, the hair was clipped to-
close to afford hold for the hands
The general surveyed the soldier stern

his fingers in the latter's locks, he lit

~, having impressed the lesson thor

came to he again alighted and had ev-
cry vestige of hair shaved from the
soldiers head, then turned him loose
as horrible example to his fellows.

A Trick of Sex.

A man seated closes his knees to
catch an object thrown on his lap. A
woman in similar circumstances opens
hers. This is a facs that Mark Twain
used in ''Huckleberry Finn" Huck is
disguised as girl, and woman
throws an object into his lap. Though
he wears a skirt, he hasn't sense
enough to spread his knees apart SO as
to catch the object better-he claps
them together, as a trousered man
would do. An English novelist in a
book called '"The White Rose uses the
same idea. Pierre de Coldirodi, the Ital
ian romancer, uses it in his well known
'Maidens and Love-" The Frenchman
Henri Paul uses it in his widows

A Fish Restaurant.

A fish restaurant is not one at
which fish is served exclusively or ever
chiefly, but restaurant at which a
speciality is made of the service Of
fish dish is offered to patrons each day.
In London and Paris such restaurants
make as their chief speciality sole, as
popular in England as in France The
Paris restaurants, in addition, make a
feature Of crayfsh, cod and mussels
and the London restaurants of white
bait and shrimp. The variety of fish
procurable in these two cities is almost
without limitation, but a different fish
each day requires, In fact, only seven
varieties, in the preparation of which
there are many specialties.

Don't Talk of Your Health.

If you are not we'll don't talk about

To do so only exaggerates your con-
seriousness of physical discomfort; also
it casts a shadow Of gloom over other

ing you how you feel. 1t gives them
cold chills to be continually told that

Louis the Greats Size.

Louis the Great had even and toler-
ably regular features without any
strongly marked characteristics. By all
his contemporaries he is spoken of as a
tall man, but he had a way of raising
his head, surmounted by the monstrous
wig he wore, and Of swelling his chest
that created the impression of height,
for when the sepulchers of the kings
were violated by the convention and
his body was dragged out of his coffin
it was measured and found a trife over
5 feet 6 inches.

termination of war and the COnclu-

diplomatic soundings. The various
proposed realignments OF European
powers are divided into three main
movements: First, British inclination
toward an accord with Russia, second,
q German-Russian movement for an
alliance offsetting the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. and. third, Russo-German
overtures to induce France to join the
latter grouping.
Great Britains desire for a rapproche-

Great Britain is ready to give fuller
recognition to Russia's privileged po-
