of witnesses were examined after which
arguments were heard on the inslruc'
tions. The following were granted
"The Court instructs the jury that II

plaintiff voluntarily paid the deiendent
the money sought TO be recovered, WIN
a full knowledge of all the facts and cir
cumstances. but under a mistake OF law,
that then they must find for the defend
ant A mistake of law consist in per-
son having a full knowledge OF the facts
but reaching an erroneous conclusion as
10 their legal effect.
"The Court instructs the jury that the
assessment and levy of the tax upon the
plaintiffs property by the Clly Councll
of Alexandria was illegal and void, and
that the City Council or its officers had
no authority of law to demand, collect
or receive the same from the plainlfi,
and ifthey shall believe from the evi-
dence that the plaintiff paid the tax 10

measures to recover it back, they shall
find for the plaintiff the full amount

After further argument the case was
given to the Jury which in a short time

us in various ways That the triumph of the
brown over the white is certain to inflame
the whole East, nobody but fool can doubt Its
ultimate effect upon India is a question which
concerns us only indirectly and is yet distant But
its effect upon China is question of the utmost
Importance at the present time.
The relation between China and Japan is an
extraordinarily close one. United by descent by
topographic writing, by religion and by tradition
they and will prove to be one single nation
as against the rest of the world; and Corea is the
third party to national union The Chinese despise
the Japanese, the Japanese despise the Chinese but
these merely the superficial national Conceits
that never for moment will stand in the way
of alliance for mutual interest as against the
Western Barbarians," as they call us in Japan
the foreign DEVILS they call us in China
Japan has now eliminated all foreign officials in
her employment and her industries she is able
she thinks, to stand alone.
That the Chinese, properly drilled and armed
make excellent soldiers, Gordon proved to the
satisfaction of all. What an awakened China
organized and armed by Japan, can do in the East.
1t needs no imagination to picture. And what
she will do is so certain that rational man at
tempts to deny it. Asia for the Asiatics'' is not
only natural cry it would be difficult to say that
1t is not just cry. The two most important things
which we have taken to China equally I'M
desired, opium and religion poison in one hand and
religion in the other.
And 50 the reckoning is coming and must come
Russia to-day is the bulwark of Christianity in
Europe fighting against the Renaissance of
pagansm. As long she will fight things are
we'll But should she make pusillanmous peace
with Japan-Japan unconquered, nor exhausted
nor defeated in a single batte-all civilized nations
will have to take the consequences and the con-
sequences will show themselves without delav
Germany, France, Holland and America will learn
what is coming to them in clear terms England

it seems to have remarkably large proportion
of them, though this has been a fact char
aCteristic of mixed races But it should never be
forgotten that however broad and brilliant they
may be mentally they japanese at heart,
and small element of their greatness is their
devotion to their country, their people and their
traditions. Baron Kaneko, the emissary of the
Emperor, is an able man, and he told us, between
the lines of his New-York speech, exactly what
may expect in the future from his country.
THE effect of this war upon the Asiatics, " he
said, lis this: The East has certain strength
which it can unite with the strength of the West.
If the East welcomes Western civilization, she can
stand upon the plane with Europe and Amer
lea. AS to the East and the West, in future there
will be two types of civilization the Oriental and
the Western; Japan the side, Europe and
America the other. These three become
assimilated without the necessity of Oriental cul-
ture and Western learning coming in conflict,
but united in harmony sharing the inheritance of
the civilization of both hemispheres."
l doubt if any thoughtful student could find
any absurd statement than this in any national
prOnounCement that made As instance
of the insane Japanese conceit of which l have
spoken, 1t unsurpassed. The evolution of civil
ization, the measure and the standards of civil
ization, clearly defined as the evolution of
the measure and standards of naval construction.
That the Japanese, a nation of idolators, with
moral code IN exact correspondence with their
religious evolution should call themselves civilized
and their condition civilization is so insane an
idea that it makes wonder at their intelligence
Our state of civilization leaves much to criticize,
but it is distinctly and undeniably high above
theirs as has been every scientific attainment of
ours which they have been SO eager to obtain and
adopt. But this honest view, this insane conceit
of theirs, is impressive fact which should
be forgotten. 1t will count for much when the
the clash comes which must come inevitably. That
the two civilizations, he is pleased call them
can never comminge Kaneko and all the Japanese
clearly and it is full time that realize this
clearly and as practically they do.

OF pubic attention as the royal lover.
For four hundred and sixty years all the princes
and the Boy Kings" of Spain have had for the
ruling of their lives, a singular code Of precepts
unlike any other in the world. This literary
placed by King John in the hands of his
son Henry in I444, just before the invention of
printing. Henry was then exactly eighteen years
of age and the manuscript was his birthday present
1t had been written, at the Kings request, by
Santillana the Sir Philip Sidney of Spain" 1t
is a poem of hundred stanzas, of eight lines
each, and singular in its construction that
has ever dared to attempt its translation into
English
Three years ago, when the Boy King" atteined
his sixteenth birthday the quccn-regent his mother
placed in his hands this quaint book of precepts,
which in Spain is almost sacred the lessons
of Scripture. \ few of the stanzas which relate
to marriage have been thrown into English in such
a way to illustrate the weird Verse-form of the
original; and these viii serve to show how the
present boy King" like his father (Hho became
King at sevcnteen), IS to make his choice of a life
partner.
In the first place. the young man is solemnly
warned that he must be pure in life-in thought
well in act. Then his must be a love match.
He IS to choose with and discretion; but he
must choose absolutely for himself, regarding not
the advice of anyone in such a question Nothing
is said to the religious faith of his Quccn-to-,c c,
for these preCcpts written before there
any Protestants. But its author took care that
it never should be extended by any later hand
adopting the "centiloguy" form and from
earlier writer's, and it thus has remained a poem
of one hundred stanzas.
However, despite the efforts Of King John, the
or less general belief that the King of Spain
IS at liberty to marry Protestant princess.

and extreme self-conceit of which | have spoken.
a book has just been published in New York by
DR.. Inazo NitObe, professor in the University OF
Kioto which is full of interest much from its
revelation of the Japanese conceit as from its
description of the Japanese view of things. In
its preface the eminent doctor describes his surprise
when first asked by Belgian jurist as to religious
teaching. The bland frankness with which he
admits that he never had had any is the Japanese
concet at its best After some thought he discovers
that all the ethical training he had came from
Bushido and Bushido is the subject of his book.
His description of Bushido thereafter becomes
interesting, because it bears directly upon the
subject in issue the moral condition of the Japanese
and of Japan. The more one studies Bushdo,
the srrer one becomes that devotion to its prin-
Cipes must leave any nation without honor and
without honesty and this fact the eminent doctor
does not even attempt to deny ArtihCiality,
veneer of sympathetic poteness these are Bushido's
virtues and these to-day the virtues of Japan
and OF the Japanese Altrulsrn IN our sense OF 1t,
is unknown, though sympathy for the weak and
the downtrodden is prescribed lordly virtue of
the strong and lordly Samurai.
The love of woman is not a worthy thing and
must not be dwet upon, woman being inferior
creature who ministers to the appetite. And this
view of woman, except the mother of warriors is
the actual prevailing view of exceedingly sensual
and brutal race Bushido is the handbook of chivalry
and of the Chivalrc virtues 1t pedestals not love,
but and all the virtues of the warrior. The
profession of arms IS the highest and nobest In the
descending social scale come first the knight, then the
t1er of the soil then the mechanic, and last and
lowest the merchant "a loose business morality
has indeed been the worst blot upon our national
reputation" bandly remarks this undeniable au-
thority And he is Endorsed by all the foreign
merchants who deal with his people in a way that
naturally must be gratifying. Lying and cheating
the rule in all Japanese commercial transactions.
"A Chinaman's word is good his bond. y
Japanese will break any contract that does not
happen to suit him this is the dictum of every
foreigner who deals with these two peoples.
Japan has its great men. AS matter of fact,

provides that both the King and Queen of Spain
shall be Roman Catholics; and 50, should Altonsos
choice be a Protestant, she must become a Catholic
before becoming his Queen.
Here is stanza XLIV. of the centioquy, with its
earnest admonition:
Woman is the crown Of man,
If her mind
Unto reason be inclined.
Let plan
Let policy, CONTROL
Choose with
Choose, yourself, the jewel
OF your soul.
Then the young King is cautioned that beauty
is often only skin-deep. Stanza XLNI is follows:
loneliness of form and face
Is fair to see,
If in company it be
With inward grace.
Sense and beauty often part,
And It's late
Ere they happy meet and mate
In the light heart.
How is the young man to look upon womanhood?
The Centiloquy written before the good Queen
Isabella had rcigned in Spain, the great Eliza
beth in England In fact there had been scarcely
instance of female rule in Europe. One might
expect to find a definition of "woman's
sphere" in poem Of the middle ages. But
Listen to stanza NLNU.:
Never would say the sphere
OF womanhOod
Has a lesser need of good
Or honor dear.
Honored by the greatest men,
Loved and admired,
Woman ever has inspired

sacred art and poetry have invested with every
grace of personality.

e II Is not a touch of ascetcism in this
marvellous old poem.
This is what it says in stanza XLIN.:
Many notable and good,
True duty,
Throng the ranks of grace and beauty.
They have stood
With the chosen saints of earth.
All, the thrOng
Sweet in looks, in virtue strong,
Grand in worth!
Then follow St. Catharine famed for her great
learning; Queen Esther, who saved her people from
destruction; Judith who slew the tvrant and freed
her nation. More modern heroines would have
been cited, doubtless, but for the fact that modern
history had yet to be written when the centiloquy
was composed.
Stanzas LII. and LIV chant the praise of noble
womanhood:
Never nation but would glory
To record
Herones in deed and word
In their story.
Memories of the good and great
Oft outmeasure
In their worth the golden treasure
OF the State.
All how glorious the arcana

mythology legend and history are drawn upon to
illustrate the noblest traits of wOmanhood.
Such are the ideals inculcated in the mind of
the Spanish g Boy King" as they have been for
many generations, respecting the other sex. The
centioquy offers to guide him in all things through
out his career; and happy will he be if he follows
