SIGHTS OF FAMOUS CEMETERY.

The peculiar arrangement, the rich

the modern cemeteries in our country.

Laid out in the form of a huge
square, the center is planted with
shrubs and flowers, and here the
poorer classes are buried, each grave
being marked with a small stone and
lantern of fanciful design hanging
at either end. In the lofty corridors
of marble which extend around the en-.
tire square are the tombs and monu.
ments of the wealthy and noble of
Genoa.
The corridors are about Is feet in
width and are lined on either side
with groups of statuary, all of which
are of life size, and the majority of
which are faithful portraits of those
whom they commemorate. Very curl.

oppoRruNIrIEs. MEAR HoME,
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success of young men
of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity Tor
those inclined towards pastoral life,
but 1t is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries. In other words, the cen
tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of busi-
ness in mercantile lines on small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas-
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise OF
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter cen
tury hence. Almost every town af-
eo,l. +bo oro0raccfuo youpU man q
chance for business success. Oppor-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufactur-
ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are to some
| extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
| look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro-
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
| strong and few parents care to nave
grown sons and daughters far away
from them In this is discovered a
reason why residents of rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging in
business in it. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons quar-
ter or a half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
iloilie town, and with the progress OF
the town developed as business men
| The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are. still open to the
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
| succeed ,.H ...Nsrf OIL. s 4. '...

Austrian Military Opinion.

Austrian Military Opinion.
In the current issue of The Military
Service Institution is an interesting
and timely article on this subject Of
Japan and America. The paper was
written by Capt. Ignez Rodic, captain
of the general stan of the Austrian
army, and translated by Capt. N. S.
Jarvis, of the United States army.
There are" says the observer,
"many indications that in the event
of war Japan intends to carry it to
the American continent. Her feverish
activity in her arsenals since the con-
clusion of war with Russia would sug.
gest preparations for vast struggle.
In her arsenals alone $4,000 workmen
are employed night and day. and simi.
lar energy is expressed in her steel
gun foundries and powder works. In
the gun and cartridge factories at
Toxic and Nagoya over 10000 men
are at work. The capacity of these
factories, and a third plant recently
constructed to the north of Toxic, is

Alcohol a Prison

"The supposed stimulant effect of
alcohol is found to be narcotic, and
its good effect is simply covering up
the pain while increasing the causes:
also, that alcohol is among the most
poisonous and seductive drugs which
can be used in medicine, and that as
beverage, it occupies much the same
plane as that of opium, to quiet pain
and discomfort, and nothing more" is

Point to Invasion.

HOlnt TO INVASION
1T is our hope that the practical
common sense of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soon as
they fully realize it-a danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at the
hand of the crescent.
"As an adequate protection against
invasion by a foreign power, the
union, up to within a short time, has
made little provision. 1t was not con-
sidered necessary, for it has been, and
is now, popular delusion, in fact, a
by-word, on that side of the ocean,
that the geographical position of the
| United States protects it against any
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of successful landing that
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 1O,00O,O0O citizens of the
union available in time of war 1t is
only recently, however, that military
| critics there have dared to express a
doubt, and, as will be shown, with
good reason, concerning the correct,
ness of those deductions. To oppose
a Japanese invading army in Califor-
MIA the coast Notifications, in coopera-
tion with the fleet, would have to be
depended upon, and, considering the
long stretch of coast line, would be in
sufficient. Fortifications are to be
found in the vicinity of the larger
cities or good harbors, but these pro-
vide for bombardment seaward.
Should a hostile feet once obtain a

Washington.-Whil recent events
seem to have set at rest all idea of
war at the present time between
Japan and the United States, there
is little doubt that the situation has
been viewed by both governments in
the most serious light. That Japan
in her diplomatic notes had assumed
a tone of arrogance. seemingly calcu-
lated to arouse American resentment,
is admitted, and the gathering of the
mighty fleet to carry the stars and
stripes to the far Pacific is undoubt-

dignified warning to the eastern en-
pire that the patience of the United
States has limit.
