The phrase to make no bones,"
which is in such common use, may be
generally explained as implying that
something is done readily and with no
such impeachment as bone might be
to one who was eating food. 1t has
been explained to be modification Of
an older phrase to find no bones"

bones found in soup and hindrances to

RUSSIA'S CONVERTS
IN JAPAN.
A Queer State Of Things Disclosed
by the Shipments OF vestments
and Candles.

Candles, vestments and church sup
plies are not contraband of war these
days, and steamers from San Fran
cisco have been carrying these articles
of worship and ritual OH their way
from Russia right into the heart of
Japan, says the San Francisco Chron'
icle All this because the Russian
church still has hundreds of thousands
of members among the Japanese, and
even in the navy and army many OF
the highest officers were educated i'll
the Russian church and still obey its
religious commands.
This remarkable state of affairs has
become known through constant ship
ments from San Francisco by Russian
order to Yokohama, Toxic and Hako-
date of the various articles used i'll the
ceremonies of the Orthodox Greek
Church. These shipments, among
them one which will leave on the
steamer Mongolia next week, are paid
for by Russian coin from the states
Golfers. and they will be used for the
spiritual benefit of RusSia's enemies.
A member of the oonsistory of the
Greek Church, which for twenty years
has had its American seat i'll san
Francisco, explained this odd inter-
change between warning countries by
the statement that for 400 years the
Russian church has had its missiOnar-
les in Japan, and for 100 years has had
big university in Hakodate, where
the flower of japanese youth have
been educated.
Among the naval and army officers
in the present conflict this prelate
explained, there have been and are
now many raised in our faith and
trained by us TO Western ideals. We
have large congregations there, and
naturally their religious head being
still in Russia, it is from there that the
supplies will come, paid for out of the
| Russian treasure chest. There are
steady shipments from this port of
! candles, vestments and articles of
every sort to various Japanese ports
for the use of the clergy and converts
there. The war has not interfered in
any way with this. 1t is odd, Of
| course, that two countries at war

ber of japanese acknowledge the SUI

Those who are inclined to scoff at

a report recently made to our State

the depth and extent of their error.
1t is shown here by indisputable evi-
dence that Germany owes her pre-
eminence to-day in many lines of
trade and industry chiefly to the fact
that she has established and maintain
cd for years a higher grade of tech

in the world, turning out regularly
from them a body of trained experts
to manage her important industries,

to-day in German factories 4,50O

the problems of improving processes
lessening the cost of production and
in other ways promoting the industrial

A young man was forced into teach

He was so .badgered and taunted by
his family that in sheer desperation he
specialized in mathematics, and even
achieved some distinction therein, al
though he is still reminded at times of
his childish fiasco. But not every
