truders, and with the fires OF the old
feud still smoldering, how can Japan
hope for peaceful and pleasant rela-
tions? Can she exercise n colonial
power without abusing it, and will
the Koreans be willing to submit
quietly to even just control? Truly
Japan has one OF the most difficult
diplomatic eniGmas OF the age to
solve. The eyes OF all nations are
upon her to See ii she solves the
question well or ill.
Summing all up, making due al
lowance for all her shortcomings,
which are very many still in our
western eyes, we yet feel that 1T Is
only just to say that no nation has
ever made such progress in the same
length OF time, as has Japan during
the last half of the ninteenth century,
and if this be taken as a standard OF
measurment. her condition at the
close of the twentieth century will be
far in advance of any civilization
now dreamed of. But, will she con-
tinue to advance with such giantic
strides? 1t is fact that the Japan
ese people are initiative rather than
original in their ideas, though they
bitterly resent this accusation. They
are now awakened to the knowledge
that they have been slumbering
while other nations progressed, and
with the desire animating the more
educated classes to keep abreast OF
the times, they accept and assimilate
progressive ideas with an avidity
never displayed by any nation before.
That they will go on advancing in
modern civilization, till they can
take their place in the very forefront
of civilized nations, no one can doubt
who has noted their recent progress.
But will they, can they take the
LEAD in any OF the sciences, inven-
tions arts or classics that makes n
highly cultured nation? That they
will ever surpass our own civiliza-
tion | am not willing to believe.
At present they are taking our ma
tion as their model to pattern after,
and in time may approach us per-
haps in many ways but that she can
ever take the lead am not ready to
admit. May we go on leading her
to a higher better life is my hope.

ment along other lines. All the large
cities are well supplied with daily
papers, published both in English
and japanese languages. There are
also innumerable smaller publlca-
tions and all are very widely circu-
lated throughout the Empire. The
| Osaka Asaki News has the largest
circulation of any in Japan, it being
about 200,00
One of the most encouraging signs
of Japan's awakening is the raising
OF her women in her social scale.
Though there is much yet to ac-
complish before the Japanese wo-
men will enjoy what we, OF the west
consider proper and right, yet their
condition is far better than for
merly. A daughters or wife's Vlr-
tue can no longer be made a COM
mercial commodity if she objects.
While this evil is still great there, IL
is on the decline. Laws have
been enacted which protect her from
this awful fate. To Rev. and Mrs.
Murphy who have spent many years
in Japan as missionaries, is chiefly
due the credit for these laws, as
they have labored INCREASINGLY for
the betterment OF the Japanese wo-
men, ever since learning of their con-
dition of slavery The practice OF
concubinage by the Japanese men
also helped to lower the status OF
woman, but a sentiment against
this practice is growing daily, as
sisted greatly by several of the in
fuential newspapers OF the Empire,
and it is hoped that this evil Will
eventually give way to more modern
ideas.
Shintoism and Buddhism, the old
religions OF Japan, are fast losing
their hold on the younger genera
tions and Christianity is making a
corresponding advance.
At present the right to vote in ia
pan is determined by strict prop
erty qualification, but the broader
education of the people is creating
an urgent demand for reduction OF
the property qualification, and in
this as in other reforms she will
doubtless adopt western methods.
One peculiar feature OF the advance
ment of reforms in Japan is that
they have originated among the
higher classes and been extended to
the people as a whole without II Strug-
I, 81 n
tries, they have come up from the
masses and been accepted only after
extended periods of agitation.
OF the many problems presented to
japan as a result of the recent war,
prehaps the most delicate and at the
same time most serious one, is what
her attitude toward Korea shall be.
For a thousand years n feud has
existed between Korea and Japan.
An example of which may be seen in
X orean prisoners that We're taken
back to Japan during the war be
tween these two countries, 300 years
ago. These prisoners formed a little
colony of themselves and have lived
10 themselves, never literihai ing
with the JAPANESE, for all these 30O
years. From these Koreans in the
heart of Japan, comes what's known
as Satsuma ware, the art OF making
which, has since become n lost art in
Korea proper.
Ten years ago Japan drove China
from Korea, and in the late war she
has driven Russia out, and is now
undertaking to exercise prOtecto-
rate over the country; but the Kore-
ans look upon the Japanese as in.

ven0m OF the Most Poisonows Snakes
Does Not Affect Their.
An interesting fact about hedeshogs
that perhaps not many persons know
is that the bites Of even the most pol
sonous serpents have no effect on them
whatever. Mr.. Lenz, a naturalist, once
watched fight between a hedgehog
and viper and gives a most interest
ing description Of 1t. He says that
when the hedgehog came near the
snake she began to smell 1t, for the
sight of these animals Is 80 poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense of smell, and then she seized its
head with her teeth.
In moment the snake had freed It.
self and, darting at the hedgehog, bit
1t several times, but the little animal
did not seem to mind the bites at all,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized Its head,
which she ground beneath her teeth,
poisonous fangs and ALL Then she de-
voured almost the whole of Its body.
NJ. Lenz also tells of pet hedgehog
that he kept in his house In large
box. Several times he put some ad-
ders into the box. which the hedgehog
did not seem to fear at all, but at
tackled them fiercely ana, as in the case
of the other, was never in the least af-
fected by their poisonous bites.
A man who had a pet hedgehog
In his possession for long time says
that he had often seen 1t throw itself
of the top Of wall fourteen feet In
height. Without pausing moment 1t
would contract itself into soft, fluffy
ball and fall to the ground so lightly
that almost Immediately 1t would un-
fold itself and run off.-Chicago Chron-

The SACRED LOTUS.

There Are Pretty Legends OF SoAg
and story About Its Fruit.
Concerning the rich fruit Of the lotus,
which grew luxuriantly in the Nile,
many charming legends have been told.
1t was believed that it was so delight
ful that those who ate of 1t would new
er leave the spot where it grew, but
for 1t would abandon home and friends
to spend their lives in a dream of Sc
rene delight. Homer, In the Odyssey"
mentions the lotus eaters who lived on
the northern coast of Africa and re-
cords their attempts to detain the fol-
lowers Of Ulysses by giving them the
fruits Of the lotus to eat, so that they
should never wish to leave the spot
where it grew.
The same poetical idea Ia known to
the Arabs, who call It the "fruit Of des-
tiny" which is to be eaten in para
disc, and it is on this foundation that
Tennyson built his charming poem of
the Lotus Eaters" This mythical
lotus has been identified by several
botanists with that Indigenous to Tu-
mis-, which is thorny shrub, with Der
ries of the size of an olive.
Mungo Park found species Of lotus
in Central America bearing berries Of
delicious taste, which, on being dried
and pounded, made very wholesome
and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit
found In Tunis has a stimulating, al
most intoxicating effect, and it Is
therefore probable that this plant fur
nished the foundation of the ancient
legends.
The sacred lotus of the Egyptians
was a fine aquatic plant, dedicated to
Osiris and Isis and regarded In Egyp-
tian delineations as signifying the Gre
alton of the world. Distinct from this
lotus was that known as the blue lotus
of the Nile, also a sacred plant. Both
these species Of lotus occur frequently
as religious symbols and decorations in
the temples

Though the peculiar nomenclature
Whistler adopted for the output Of his

tract the custom of the hunter after art

in favor of such nomenclature by those
who recognize the sisterhood of the
various fine arts. Whistler's early days
were passed in an atmosphere of music,
and, apart from the masterful craving
Of erratic genius for novelty and his
appreciation on reaching manhood and
looking forth on the world of the value
Of new processes in systematic self ad-
vertising, it was therefore not unnatu-
raj that he should use musical termi-

his work in graphic art. Why should
he not speak of that work as SYM

but, the morning proving very wet and
the rain not ceasing until 10 o'clock. 1
did not set out till half after that hour.
called, however. on Mr.. q. and stayed
there near an hour"
Tradition has generously heightened
out and embellished with Incidents of
an old fashioned patriotic flavor the
single hour Of Washington at Elm
wood. There Is the story of the errand
of one of Ellsworth's young sons to
the Wadsworth mansion at Hartford
to present the invitation, Of his trepida-
ton at the thought of facing the great
est man In the world and of his sur
prise, relief and disappointment to find
only quiet old gentleman dressed
very much like his father.
There Is also the story Of Washing
toms taking on his knees the young
est twain Of the Ellsworth children
and singing them the ballad Of the
Derby ram.
