Destiny and the Japanese.

II would almost seem as If Destiny
were exercising a watchful care over

The war question is largely II mat

The rice crop in japan is to that
country what the wheat crop is to

times are good. If there is only n
partial crop hunger is bound to be

The crop of 1904 breaks all records.
The harvest it is said, produced more
than 250,000O00 bushels, which is 20
per cent above the average and oh.
viates the necessity of importing
rice. The barley and ten crops were
also good, and the sun has smiled on
the tight little country in II way to
make the people glad.
On the other hand there is no gem

The poverty there is described rs

who grinds the faces Of the poor, nor
cares whether they live or die.

Of Nihilism in Russia, but rather
