17se Japan of Europe.

Rumania may well be proud to be
called the Japan of Europe. She has
achieved in the midst of incessant
jealousy and opposition much that
the free empire of the Far East has
accomplished.
But, says the Fortnightly Review,
the progress of Rumania, if less
great, is perhaps more meritorious
even than that of Japan. To small
State, hampered at every turn by
Turkish reaction and European greed
or ignorance, the opportunities OF
progress were much less facile than
In the island empire of. Japan.
But on May 20, 1906, King Charles
I. of free Rumania celebrated his
forty years of reign and saw what
was once a Turkish vassal State
standing proudly erect among tho
European nations. Where once wa.
chaos and corruption to-day is an or
derby State, bound in friendly al
lance with great Powers, and. more
important still, an example to the
world of peaceful internal develop
ment and Of tranquil but persistent
foreign policy.

Weird Ceremonies at Opening of Tenn

A glimpse of the new religion which

is afforded in a report of the opening
recently of a new Chinese temple al
Sydney Australia The Chinese popu
lation reveled in the picturesque com
bats of dragons and masked monsters.
and Toasted on roast pig The Chinese
mixed their prayers and their propitia
lions with endless rejoicings. A re
spected Chinese resident in Sydney
performed the opening ceremony, and
then a number of Chinese went into
the temple and placed there rice cakes
and meats, praying to the particular
joss before whom they knelt. In defer
ence to the residents only a few crack
ers were exploded in the early hours.
but at dawn there was abundant proof
that the josses were being propitiated
The tom-tom, the Chinese bugles, and
the rattles caused a great din. The
dragon dances in the temple grounds
were wild and weird. Grotesque heads
swayed, masked men advanced men.
acingly towards each other, music
changed, banners cleaned, incense
fioated to the nostrils of each joss,
yellow-skinned and half-caste devotees
crept in to make obeisance, and for
once the stolid countenance of the
Chinaman showed signs of exultation

Clergyman's odd Bill.

A queer bill was paid by the Inter-
State Fair Association, at Trenton,
when Secretary Margerum sent a
check for SITS to the Rev Joseph
Howell, on his bill for that amount
rendered against the fair association
for volunteer services in catching
gamblers and fakirs. When the bill
came in the officers of the association
marveled, but when payment was re-
quested they willingly sent the check,
just to get the receipted bill. The
Rev. Mr.. Howell has for many years
waged war against games of chance
and questionable shows on the
grounds, but he has never been in
the employ of the association.
