The Palliative Sex.


 A bold calculator lcng ago an- nounced that the average man speaks about I2,e00 words in q day. and his wife or sister about 1s.000. By what method Of observation he arrived al the figures is still a mystery, says Youths Companion. Did he keep the sexes under view 2s the biologist keeps his guinea pigs or as Prof At- water his victims? Or was his sun total based on stenographic report of the conversation at mans club on election night, or at a woman z luncheon the day after fashionable wedding? If the estimate Is correct will utter about 900. 100000 words in his lifetime. and the woman about 450, ,000,00 Imagination gasqs at the number of repetitions of favorite ad- jectives, like lovely" or awful or stunning" in so vast an eutpouring of words. Surely the reflection might stlHluldtc the increase or one otdp- ulary. But before We settle down to acceptance of this calculation. il is necessary 10 take into consideration the opinion of clever English wom- an, who has been recently writing on the subject. She sets forth her con viction that the feminine sex is un- justly called the talkative sex. ans that, taking the year together. mer talk more than women. It is Dot im- possible that the womaps reputas ion for effectiveness is partly based on her ability and inclination to make much talk Of little stuff Although the man may speak more he may seem to talk less. since he has more of importance 10 say. Still. small talk" Will continue h be a useful da nestle asset. Silence is by no means a sure mark of wisdom If there are those who think leo Httlo and wha talk too much. there are quite as sure. y those who neither think nor talk and dull companions they are in this workaday world.

Japan's Wonderful Progress.


 Japan is settling down into ways of peace, and promises to enter upon a fresh career of prosperity In fact. the war in which she showed such amazing resourcefulness seems scarce. ly 10 have interrupted her material progress To be sure. she is left with big national debt but already she is planning to lessen the burden by re- funding part ot her obligations at low er interest. and there is no doubt she will manage to adjust satisfactorily her finances. Meanwhile an official communication received at our e.ate department Is of interest as shoOing how Japan fleufished even whila she was having 1t out with Russia. This statement shows that Japanese exports amounted to sl25 .000.000 in the first six months of 1903. 10 $l37 GOO .000 in the first half of 1904 and to $l42. .o0o,- GOO in the same period this year. Here was q steady increase all the time Ja- pan was fighting. 1t also appears that Japan's imports showed a decided and continuous increase. and much of them came from the United States. \ eoun- try that can carry on war and business simultaneously. and make a big sue cess of both, has qualities 10 command admiration.

The change In plans caused great
surprise.
