government EMPHASIZED it's view as to the
commercial inclinations of the diplomatists
concerned by ordering that no expense was
because it was expected they would turn
1t into money.
Old Pomp Has Departed.
The old order changeth-giving place
to new'-and much of the old pomp and
ceremonial and extravagant expenditure of
diplomacy has departed or fingers only in
the gorgeous courts of the east. It has
long been recognized in England that COM
merce is the lifeblood of the nation, and
other nations have woke up. rather too
thoroughly perhaps for our taste, to the
consciousness of its importance. The dip
lomatic service has caught the spirit of the
age. and for many years past the embassies
tention much more than they used to the
interests of trade. Commercial attache-
ships have been founded for this specia!
purpose, and every year sees more atten-
ton paid to the subject.
1T should also be remembered that when
not directly working for the interests OF
commerce the diplomatist is always work
ing for the other half of the legend on
your old medal-for peace. AS Gen. Foster
observes. the diplomatic representative Is
pre-eminently peacemaker. and If he can
through his efforts postpone great war,
or shorten 1t by single day. he will save
to the public treasury much more than the
cost to the United States of its diplomatic
establishment for an entire year, without
taking into account the loss OF life and

was wise in coupling the two things.

HUMOROUS DIPLOMACY
SIR MORTIMER DURAND TALKS
ON PICTURESQUE ANAcHRoN-
ISMS.
Business Of the Diplomatist Now to
Work in the Interest OF Com
merce and Peace.

Even diplomatists recognize the humor-
Gus side Of diplomacy. Sir Henry Nor
timer Durand. the British ambassador, in
the course of a recent conversation in re-
gard to the diplomatic service, made the
following interesting observations:
II fear that perhaps In this practical
age our gold-laced uniforms and stars and
ribbons and formalities have caused us to
be looked upon rather as picturesque an
achronisms than as useful members OF
society. and that there has even been a
tendency towards scoffing when our meth
DDS and our pretensions were discussed.
No doubt we have given the enemy some
cause to blaspheme. Disputes about diplo-
matte precedence have at time been very
ludicruous and diplomatic discussions have
occasionally been of a nature to remind
one of the old arguments of the school
men as to how many angles could dance
on the point of a needle.

of Diplomacy recently published by Gen.
Foster, formerly Secretary of State, quotes
some amusing instances of diplomatic pro-
ceedings. 1t is therein related, for ex-
ample. that in 1861 a certain ambassador
in England, wishing to secure place in
the royal procession next to the king and
before his French colleague, attacked the
latter's coach in the streets of London,
hamstrung his horses and killed his men.
If were to set my myrmidons upon my
valued colleague. M. Jusserand. on his way
to the White House, my zeal for my coun-
trys honor might nowadays be regarded
as excessive.
Gen. Foster relates again how, when the
plenipotentiaries of two great powers met
to settle the conditions of royal mar
riage, they stepped together, with the right
foot side by side. into council chamber
hung in corresponding halves with their
respective colors. sat down at the same IN
slant precisely opposite each other at a
lent arm chairs.
At An Oriental Court.
"That sort of thing goes on still In the
east. / remember that on one occasion,
when a burbar or public reception was
being held at great oriental court, the
official who held the highest seat had to
come forward and make speech to the
British representative There had been
some disputes about the order of sitting.
and when the speaker had got fairly under
way 1 saw the second official rise with
oriental quiet and dignity and take pos
session of his vacant seat. When the
speech was over and the speaker had made

The fnvasions Of the Cloths and Vandals
destroyed the Roman empire. Will the in
vasion of the hordes of ignorant Europeans
destroy our republic? This question is be-
ginning to stir the minds of our sociologists
Our immigration is increasing by gigantic
leaps. From the beginning of our govern
ment until now just about twenty-three
million foreigners have come into this
country. The time covered Is about one
hundred and thirty years. During the past
twelve months the immigrants numbered
more than one million. which was 20 per
cent more than we have had in any year
before. We have now in round numbers
100000 people, and last year we added
one foreigner to our every eighty souls.
It behooves us to know who these people
are where they come from and where they
are settling. To find out 1 called on Mr..
Frank P. Sargent, the commissioner general
of immigration, and asked many questions.
In reply he brought out records and pa
pers and at the same time showed me
photographs recently made of some of our
new immigrants.
Uncle Sans Big Bite.
I asked Mr.. Sargent: Don't you think
Uncle Sam is biting off more than he can
chew? A million in the raw is a big
digest it?'
YES" replied the commissioner general
of immigration. 1.-THE teeth of our nation
are strong and its stomach capacious. If
the immigrants are Of the right character
and they can be carried to the right To-
calities. we shall have no trouble whatever.
The chief difficulty is that many Of them
are ignorant and that they show a tendency
| to congest our big cities. They are not
| like the immigrants of the first three quar-
| tiers of our century, who came with the
ambition to be farm owners. They set
| tied upon our homesteads and other cheap
| lands and scattered themselves out over
| the United States. Such foreigners changed
| and were transformed into Americans
| Their children learned our language and
| all were quickly absorbed into the body
| polite. Those immigrants came from
| northern Europe, and especially from Ger
| many and the United Kingdom. They
formed the bulk of our immigration until
| well up into the eighties. The most Of our
| immigrants are now coming from Austria.

Japan a Land Of Craven Images.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Among the many Buddhist-Shinto saints,
whose quaint effigies set up in every con.
ceivable nook and corner of Japan make It
country of craven images" one of the
most impressive and interesting is the pa
thetic person called Binzuru. He was once
upon time a member of that strange COM
pany of Buddhist disciples known as the
Sixteen Rakkan." But one day he fell
from grace by remarking upon the attrac-
tons of woman, and he was expelled
from the society OF chaste brethren. The
great Buddha gave him. in return for all
that bis wordliness had cost him. power to
heal human ills and to grant the, prayers
of childless women who longed for mother
hood. But he was put outside the temples.
He must henceforth sit without, III the
midst of the passing throng. and submit
himself to personal contact with all that
was unclean and healthless. The simple
hearted people love him, / think. above all
saints. His wooden images in the temple
porches are the strangest objects in all
Japan. They give him soft cushions to
sit upon. and ne - always clothed In quaint
little cotton-stuff collars and mufiers in all
sorts of soiled-lookinG colors. aid on his
head his devotees usually keep a curious
little cotton cap.

The Lady in Number Three.

be more observing in matters of dress than
Mr.. Ransom. He described with apparent
accuracy both the color and cut of the
garments worn by the lady who had fitted
away so mysteriously. The former was
brown. all brown; and the latter was Of the
tailor-made variety, very natty and be-
coming. What you would call swell, -
was the comment. IF her walk hadn't
spoiled the hang of 1t. How she did walk!
Her shoes must have hurt her most I'M
