cHINoJAPANEsE ALLIANCE.

The Chino-Japaness alliance as now
forecasted by diplomats as n result OF
Russo7Japanese peace, is quite likely,
beclulc II is logical.
Kindred in peace, the two nations
have common political and CONNER
cial interests which draw them togeth-
er. and they have, also, reciprocal
qualities which will make nm intimate
understanding advantageous to both.
II is hardly conceivable that Rus
STA. which In a sense is their mutual
enemy. will soon attempt aggression
in the East. she will not from
her present pradicament for several
years to come. But unless her govern
ment Is completely reyolutionized, In
due course she will be moved again
by her ancient greed and will be
spurred by a desire for revenge which
many generations viii not entirely re
move.
Will, Russia Is recovering from an
other attack. which is even now in the
mind ~ the |autocracy. Japan of course
viii De busy strengthening her posi-
ton. sim, Japln's pcril win always
exist in her comparatively sparse popu-
lation and slender resources. She has
won this time by superior skill and
alertness. but the lesson5 Of the war
are not lost upon Russia, and in an
other struggle the result would proba-
bly, he far different.
If Japan could now rally to her aid
the enormous resources of China, with
its vas. fighting population and endur-l
ance, she would o?e than match
Russia's brute strength and would be
practically i%mpregnable.
Meanwhile II has dawned upon
China that Russia was in Manchuria
for no good purpose and she will not
again be 50 stupid as to peacefully al
low her territory To be occupied In this
name. She is bound to see that the
friendship Of Japan Is her safest reli.
ance against Russia or any other
greedy power.
Social and Industrial relations be
tween the two countries are quite as
inviting as political considerations.
China needs to learn of Japan the
arts of peace and the secrets of mod
ern civilization; Japan needs China
as a customer in her developing indus
tries and as a field for the ambition of
her Young men. China is a ponderous
inert Tass into which Japan can in
fuse life and intelligence. Japan Is an a
state of pent-up energies which can
find outlet and opportunities in China.
The alliance is so natural that i'll
looks irresistible.-Record.

The New York World notes a few
remarkable cases in one of the busy
beauty factories One who
had a few wrinkles paid 5000 to have
them removed, and uncomplain!nglY
submitted to being burned with acids
in nope hat after the burns were
healel the wrinkles would be gone.
Others paid large sums of money 10
have their noses Strengthened or
sears removed or their faces rounded
out. One woman took a course OF
treatment to have her ears moved.
The c~i,dulity of the victims had no
end One woman who reieived a
complexion ointment and was taking
a mail course of treatment to remove
freckles wrote that her face had come
out In blotches and that her skin was
becoming dark. which made her nat
urally blonde hair look Out of place,
but still She vas hopeful, and if the
doctor would send her a larger jar
of ointmnt she would keep on wits
the treatment.
It may safely be said that all the
Victims do n o live in New York
either.
