Expresses of japan.

Women played an important part in
the early history of Japan. To wo-
man, the Empress Jingu, belongs the
glory of the first conquest made by
Japan, that of Korea, A. d. col
Dressed as a man, she led her fleet
over the unknown waters, across which
she alone believed a country lay to the
westward. If we succeed" she said
to her chiefs, ''the glory viii ali be
yours / will be responsible for the
infamy of a possible defeat" The KO-
reanS laid their wealth at the feet Of
the cOnquerors, and the king swore
that so long as the stars shOne and wa
ter ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan. This achievement
of the empress gave rise to the boast
of the Japanese, 1.-The arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas" But the most
important fruit of her victory was the
introduction of Buddhism from Korea.

cine and literature. Jingu, however,
was never actually proclaimed head of
the empire. The first female ruler was
Suiko, and since her time eight en-
presses have governed Japan. some Of
them with great wisdom.

The Genius of Ancient Greece.

An authority on old Greek history
says, and in my opinion rightly, thar
the average intelligence of the assem-
bled Athenlan citizens was higher than
that of our house Of commons. No
doubt the Athenian public was by no
means so learned as we mOderns are.
They were ignorant of many sciences,
of much history-in short of a thou
sand results of civilization-but in civ
iIization itself, in mental power in
quickness of comprehension, in correct
ness of taste, in accuracy of judgment,

.structed, has been able to equal by La
bored requirements the Unborn genius
