Japan Has Been Born Again.

Modern Japan, with its progressive
ideas and it's commercial aspirations, as
IL harixs back to 1854 little more than
so years ago-must marvel at itself. In
July of that year Commodore M G. Perry
opened to the commerce OF the world the
doors of that oriental treasurehouse.
From that day to this there has been a
natural .affiliation between the people Of
the Island Empire and the people of this
country. For centuries Japan mad been
a hermit nation. In half a century's
destined to be the world power of the
Far East The late war has shown the
mikados government and people to be
entitled to the respect of all civilized
nations, and now the era is dawning
which will revolutionize the Industrial
conditions of the Orient. Our CONSUL
general at Yokohama, in recent report,
says, in speaking Of Japan: 1.-THE chrys-
alis of her comprehension and industrial
life has broken the cocoon of opportunity
and she is reaching out toward the con-
summation Of another nope-leadership

Education, that before the restoration

wages are increasing, and improved con-
