Vitiated astes.

"'rhe recent presentation in Birmingham of what I regard as one of the most beau- tiful of the morality plays -'Guergman'- brought to my notice striking example of vitiated taste An educated man left the theatre before the play had con cluded, and when asked for his opinion of the performance used the inelegant but very expressive word rot " said gen. tleman.
 Now, that theatre-goer had been at- tending vaudeville shows, and his taste had become so yitiated as to be incapable of appreciating the beauties of an un- usual but very high-class play.
 q read in the papers some time ago of a lady who in the midst of a concert sent up a request to the conductor for some rag-time tune; another case Of vitlated taste. I remember some years since when a good old parish priest in Ireland had a few of his parishioners do- ing some parochial work. At the close of their labor he thought he would cheer them with a glass of whisky.
 "'Well, Tom he asked one of them, what do you think of that whisky?
 "It's no good. your reverence an- swered the connolsseur, there's no "hoult" in it. The man had grown so accustomed to the fiery liquor which con- sumed his vitals that he thought nothing of the priests good liquor. Vitiated taste on the tongue
 "The man accustomed to smoke strong tobacco would not give you two cents for your finest cigar. His taste has been vitiated. In the same way, give volume | of Dickens or Scott or Thackery to the reader of dime novels and he will find it impossible to wade through 1t, it pos l sesses no charms for him.
 "The man who finds his standard oi lovelness In the bold face and gaudy habiliments of chorus girl will find nc | loveliness, no beauty, no delight In the chaste features and modest robes of a | madonna.
 "The man who forms his companions from the wine bibbers of a saloon vii | fail to relish the companionship ant | enlightening conversation of an educated and refined man. So you see that 1T l things moral as in things material oul taste may become vitiated and depraved.'

todd notion which drives a man to do what this Connecticut man did?
 The normal man has roots Just as much as tree has. He lives by his sem timental attachment to persons and places. Hawthorne tells of a disappear ance which he opines will never be re- peated." Wakefield left his wife mysteri- of hers in great city, and twenty years later returned. It is nearly of a piece with this Connecticut case. Hawthorne analyses the disappearers motives. It was an odd notion" in the first place which prompted Wakefield and there stay. Habit and the unwatched slipping away of time and certain absurd vanity and wrongheadedness accounted for all the rest. The Connecticut man gives the same explanation of his vagary, except, of course, there is no acknowledgment of vanity and wrongheadedness. If willful disappearance is not a disease, it Is a marvel of human oddity. It is a grievous experiment at best. Hawthorne observes: Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that by stepping aside for moment of man ex- poses himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever. Like Wakefield, he may become. as it were. the Outcast of the Universe.'

across the border and seize Canada, which is the choicest bit of suburban real estate Great Britain has. There isn't an American living who thinks the United States would ever capitulate in circumstances like these, and there isn't an American living who does not know that even if the Philippines and Porto Rico and ports in Alaska and seacost cities were taken, the United States would eventually get them all back, and more, too, by force of arms.
 Of course, these conjectures are almost fantastic, but the statements that call them out are the basis of the talk that has been going on for the past six months of an invasion of this country by Japan, and the theory that Great Britain is the hard and fast ally of that country.
 So far as Japan herself is concerned, she does not want a fight with anybody. Her public debt is almost. if not quite, as large as that of the United States, and her territory is about as big as the state of California. The greatest prob- lem Japan has now is not to conquer any country, but to provide for the rapid increase in Japanese population, which increase is 5o0,OOO a year.
 Japan's navy, when you analyze it, is not to be compared in any way with any half of the American navy. The alarm ists say that Japan's navy is in the Pa cifc and the navy of the United States is not. That is perfectly true. but that portion of the United States navy which might be needed In the Pacific would be sent there.
 Furthermore, the proposition of Japan bringing an invading force of a size to do any particular damage TOGO miles has it's grotesque features that apparently do not appeal to the people who are continual ly finding war clouds over Nippon way.
 The men who look at this proposition sanely admit that Japan might seize port on Alaska or on the Pacific coast, but what would happen then? The United States would go and get it back again. Of course, it would be uncomfortable for time; but there is not any doubt that It would be taken back, and good, stiff price for rental would be collected.
