In 1898 the total tonnage of Japan 3

The present total tonnage is $780,

There are many other steamers
owned by similar companies
Japanese shipyards are turning out
vessels equal TO the largest and fin

The Japanese are reaching out for
passenger business. The government
helps the owners with big subsidies.
The earnings Of Japanese ships last
year were not satisfactory, but the

the future.

Best Way to Drink Milk.

We live by digesting and assimilat-
ing food not merely by eating it. Milk
as food builds up and forms body It's
sues and fluids and repairs waste.
When taken slightly in excess the I'M
used portion, mostly butter fat, is
stored in the system for future use.
AS is we'll known, fluid milk and vichy
is wholesome drink for many VINO
can not assimilate milk alone. A
pinch or two of salt in glass of milk
will produce a similar result. 1t aids
in the easier digestion of the curds as
formed in the stomach prior to dses-
ton. 1t is wise for the possessor of a
weak stomach to sip a glass of milk
slowly instead of drinking it hurriedly.
The larger the quantity of milk taken
at one draught the greater the diff
Guilty of it's digestion 1t may not be
generally understood that hot milk
taken into the system is almost i'm
mediately absorbed. 1t is stimulat-
ing without reaction.-Leslie's Weekly

THE SUN NOT BURNED OUT.

It has been stated by such authori-
tiles as Kelvin, Newcomb, and Ball
that the future of the suns activity
will be comparatively short,-not
more than 100000 years,-and some
have even suggested that the suns
activity already shows signs OF wan
ing So far is this from being the
case that only one fourth Ct our sup
ply of energy has been expended, and
three fourths are yet in store for the
future life of the planetary system.
This opens up to our contemplation a
decidedly refreshing view OF the
future, and will give renewed hope
to all who believe that the end OF
mundane progress is not yet in sight.
Not only should the future possibili-
ties of scientific progress be vastly
extended, but there will in all prob
ability be the most ample time for the
further development of the races OF
beings inhabiting this planet. Ac-
cording to this view, the evolution OF
our earth is still in its infancy, with
the zenith of its splendor far in the
future.-T. J. j. See in Atlantic.

Slow Development in Alaska.

Alaska is still great lone land, but
with considerable railroad building in
progress, it may be on the eve of a
great change. People prefer to travel
to gold fields by rail to tracking over
mountains and wastes, and we may
yet see considerable towns develop
there, for those now in existence are
in many instances little more than
hamlets. Any place in Alaska having
800 inhabitants can become an incor-
porated town. Even these cannot be
numerous in this vast region. Con-
sress has neglected Alaska The
schools are small and struggling and
their condition deters many transients
from becoming homeseekers. AS a
commercial proposition Alaska has
made good showing, but the visions
OF the great Arctic commonwealth
which were entertained at the time of
its acquisition have not materialized

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA IN 1860

AS we advanced in the year 1860,
the vision which rises to my mind 5
eye is of vivid and surprising inter-
est. We stood in the shadow of the
great war, the first gun of which is
to end these rambling lines. 1t is
strange how writing of these days
brings them back as fresh as yester-
day. The dead and the living rise as
the spectral figures before Macbeth;
creoles from Louisiana, fiery young
sters, speaking French more fluently
than English, declaiming the speeches
of Mirabeau in the society halls; hot
headed youth from the great cotton
states, already, almost to man, de-
claring for war and confident of it's
result. The large delegation from
Tennessee, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia were of mixed political COM
plexion; some consorting with the
Hotspurs of the lower country, others,
the sons of whig fathers, and taking
the color of their more conservative
views, giving up slowly and with
UNWILLING HcdiC IHSii inSIdiHcu ioFc
for the union and for the stars and
stripes, hoping for peace, and willing
to exhaust all honorable means to
avert war. There were hot debates,
and an occasional fight. But all were
ready to meet the issue, if it must
come, without fear, and with that
superb and supreme confidence in the
ability of himself and his brethren to
stand up against any conceivable odds
which was SO striking a characters
tic of the southerner of that day War
had to come. 1t came, and nineteen
out of every twenty of these young
sons of their fathers followed the
meteor flag Of the confederacy.-

rRIumpHs OF ARBITRATION.

ANY one who has carefully followed
the arbitration movement during the
decade since 1895, including the work
and results of the Hague conference,
knows that arbitration can no longer
fairly be spoken of as an experiment.
lit is now the settled practice OF the
civilized nations when disputes arise
between them, and is universally rec
ognized in international law. War, in
stead of being the general practice OF
nations, as it was century ago when
serious disputes arose between them,
is no longer resorted to except in rare
instances, and in most of these in
stances the causes run far back into
the past, and have created strong
prejudices and deeply rooted feelings
of distrust and animosity which do
not readily yield to rational pacific
treatment. During the decade OF
which we are speaking, there have
been four wars: the China-Japan war,
the Observation-Disclosures war,
the boer war, and the RussoJapanese
war; or nine, IL we add to these the
boxer conflict in China, the German
war in southwestern Africa, still going
on, the Venezuela blockade, the Thibet
expedition, and the bloodless Panama
revolution. But during this same
period there have been more than a
hundred settlements by arbitration.
All of these have been important, and
some of them of the most difficult
and delicate character; as, for exam
pie, the boundary dispute between
Chile and the Argentine Republic,
the British-Venezuelan boundary dis
pute, the Alaska boundary controver-
sy, and the North sea incident be-
tween Great Britain and Russia,
which, though adjusted by commits
sion of inquiry, was really an arbi-
tration of the first order-B. F. True

Proposed Change in Memorial Day

tTopoSSU SHdHSe III memorial LAY.
At the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Mime
apolis this year a proposition to set
aside the last Sunday in May as Me-
mortal day will be considered 1t is
claimed by many that the change is
demanded in view of the manner in
which the real purpose of Memorial
day has been obscured. When the hol-
iday falls upon week day it is almost
exclusively given over to sports and
pleasure and scarcely a thought is
given to the heroes of the civil war,
living or dead. To establish a Sunday
for the annual observance would tend
to do away with the present manner
of celebration. The day would, it is
claimed, be given over more particu-
larly TO the old soldiers and to those
who are sincerely moved to take the
time to honor the men who fought to
preserve their country. Many of the
games and outdoor pastimes which are
now INDUCED in would necessarily
have to be abandoned.-Clevela
