if they wanted to, for they could not get at each other. Neutral territory divides them, and neutral waters di- vide their coasts. They will growl at each other from behind their next friends, perhaps for weeks. perhaps for years, and then re-establish direct and friendly relations.
 Sweden and Norway, on the other hand. have come to an amicable and admirable agreement, as we have from the first confidently assumed they would do In this day of absorption and consolidation of states as well as of businesses. it is a novelty to have a new sovereignty introduced into the family of nations. This newcomer, however. is worthy and is welcome. Norway is small in population and is by no means rich in money. But her people are sturdy progressive, thrifty and enlightened, her commerce is enormous. and her place among the nations will not be a mean one. Best of all, there is an assured prospect of such continued cooperation between lll6 LNO pEiAllAo AidlAAIlS dso W III make their strength in separation ac- tually greater than it was in union.
 Affairs in Austria Hungary or per haps we should say in Hungary alone, maintain an ominous aspect. The much expected meeting of the King with the Hungarian opposition leaders has taken place, apparently without result. The king is willing to con cede every point save those which he considers essential, and the Hunga- rians are willing to do the same. But they both consider precisely the same points essential, and neither seems ready to yield an iota upon them. In designating a Hungarian to con tinue the negotiations with the Hun garian leaders, instead of an Austrian, the king has taken a step toward con ciliation, but after all, measures, not men, are at issue. but an agreement upon measures seems as remote now as it was a month ago.
 There is another assurance that France and Germany have reached an understanding about Morocco, which is probably true. After the conces- sions already made by France, they certainly ought to act in accord. Meantime, France has another petty annoyance on hand in South America. President Castro is reported to be act ing badly, even to defying France to join issues in war, and to be making vigorous preparations on land and sea for a defensive, if not an aggressive campaign. The almost inevitable touch of opera bouffe is supplied, how ever, by the fact that, while he is sup posed to be arming against France, he is purchasing his supplies of arms in France! On the whole, we do not ex-. pect that the multitudinous seas will be incamadined in the region of the Caribbean. iailM

Among the Nations. .

The last week has been marked with an unusual number of international incidents of considerable interest. An observer from Mars might imagine that, Russia and Japan having retired from the center of the stage which they have held so long. the other pow CTS, great and small, have come forth with a rush to play their parts in the limelight. Some of their doinEs have been gratifying and some have been deplorable, but none of the latter seem to threaten serious results.
 Greece and Roumania, for example, have wrought their quarrel up to the point of severing diplomatic relations. The Greeks seem. on the face of it, to have a good deal of provocation, but there is probably much to be said on each side. The quarrel would scarce ly in any circumstances lead to war, for Greece, after having been so bad ly beaten by Turkey a few years ago, would not hastily challenge the over whelminG force of the great Danubian kingdom, As it is, they could not fight

is that Individuality Is with most per sons a misnomer. The average man or woman has nothing which he may really call his own; he is simply a mass of impressions from some mint, thrown together carelessly or deliber- ateIy, according to his taste and fan cy," to borrow a Wellerism. It is not surprising that anyone who has sort ed and labelled these impressions should be able to distinguish them when they are stamped upon different types of humanity.

These and other movements now in progress in and among various coun- tries. national and international, fore shadow material changes in the con stitution of more than one continent. These are likely, however. to be ef- fected without any important disturb ance of that peace which the Treaty of Portsmouth has given to the world.

Writing to President Roosevelt the other day, MT. Bryan stated his pur- pose to aid the president in every pos sible way to secure railway rate leg islation in congress. And thereupon MT. Bryan started upon years trip around the world. Are We to infer that MT. Bryan considers his absence the most effective step he can take in the presidents behalf?

Mr.. Constable was found near the big
white oak, just below the summit Of the
hill, close by the corn field from which
Alice saw the stranger come into the
road. People. who know Holland, call
him Jack or John" Hollands house

Witness told of his telling Mr.. ConSta-

William Winter, the dramatic critic,
is thought by some to write the worst
hand Of any man living. There may
have been giants in the past, meE
like Horace Greeley, who surpassed
him, but no one his equal remains.
Some years ago Mr.. Winter was
travelling in Scotland, and having had
many amusing experiences, wrote an
account Of them to R. H. Stoddard, in
New York. Mr.. Stoddard received
the letter at breakfast and, combin.
ing familiarity with the intuitions Of
the poet, managed to make it out, and
enjoyed several good laughs. He
glanced up at Mrs. Stoddard and said:
Its from William Winter. Very
funny. Want to read it?"
You know can never read a word
of his writing" answered Mrs. Stod.

"Oh, that doesn't matter" replied
