The head of the goddess of liberty

is more idealized though it is a
close portrait of the model, a young
woman Of Mr.. st. Gauden's family.
The erect eagle on the other side of
the double eagle, more natural than
the stiff heraldic bird Of the silver
dollar, it is said to be a finer design
thar that OF the present coins. -he
bird on the eagle is represented in
active flight, like that of the beauti-
full silver dollars and half dollars
Of fifty years ago.
That is said to have been modelled
from a living eagle kept as a pet in
the mint at that period. All pre-
vio% designs fdl' american coins
have been made by employees of the
mint. This is the first commission
for that purpose eve given to an ar
fist Of the first reputation.
Perhaps for that very reason it
cannot be executed in the mint with
out considerable notifications. Much
beauty Of antique coins is due to the
high relief df the figures, like that
of artistic medals. The objection to
this in modern coins is that one will
not lie flat another. This is the
trouble with the designs made by
Mr.. st. Gaudens.
Coins made from them would not
stack" in the %glittering little tower
we see on the counters before bank
%tellers. nor could they be made into
compact rolls or packages for ship
ment. The volume of modern coin
age is SO great that convenience de-
mands close packing together.
The assistants of Mr.. St. Gaudens
in his studio will try to modify his
designs for coins SO that one will
lie fiat upon another and a heap of
them will not topple over, but it is
doubted if this can be done without
spelling their beauty.-Minneapolis

Japan is Making New Enemies.

JaDan's autocratic conduct in ko-
rea and China is not only making
enemies for her among the natives
Of those countries, but it is angering
the foreign residents in them. Not
only are Americans and Germans over
there indignant at the arrogance of
tie japanese in Seoul, Pekin and the
other big towns Of Korea and China,
but the subjects Of her ally, Eng
land, are displeased with this con-
duct. Ever since the war of 1894
95, in which Japan whipped China,
there has been an air OF superiority
among the Japanese toward the Chi
nese which has raised up many enc
mics to- them in Isl Ans Empire.
The victory over Russia in 1904-05
has inflated the Japanese still more,
and has melted hostility to them
among all the foreign residents not
only OF Japan herself, but of the
Asiatic countries in which Japan is
acting the part of overload.
This conduct would be calculated
to weaken the mikado's empire if it
should aver engage in wal with any
great power. On the other hand, the
Russians / acting as if they want
to make friends, and are succeeding
in doing this. The Russians are out
of control in Manchuria, and the
Japanese have taken their places as
tho mnnrfonf n1nn,nnt NHnroh,rf r.,
and others whose business takes and
keeps them there are regretting the
change in mastery in that province.
In this conduct the Japanese lack
their usual acuteness. For Japan
in this exigency modesty would be a
better policy.
If Japan intends to provoke China
into war, a some of the Europeans
in Pekin, Shanghai and other Chi
nese centers believe she does, then
her conduct is intelligent. The Chi
nese are accustomed to European
and American airs of superiority, but
they think themselves the equals of
the subjects of the mikado, and re-
sent any supercilious treatment from
the latter. 1t is not at all certain
that Japan would be allowed to
carve up the Chinese Empire in her
own interest if she should be victor
in any war with that country. Rus
.sLa, Germany and France would be
likely to i%nterpose, as they did after
the Chinese war of 1S94-95, and stop
Japan from selling any considerable
area of territory. There is a balance
in Asia as well as In Europe which
the Europen nations are anxious to
maintain, and Japan is likely to dis
cover this truth if she attmpts to
bring China into subjection.-Globe-
Democrat.
