A Christmas Hymn.

It was the calm and silent night,
Seven hundred years and fifty-three
Had Rome been growing up tonight.
And now was Queen of land and sea.
No sound was heard Of clashing wars,
Peace brooded DER the hushed DOMAIN.
Apolln, Pallas Jove and Mars
Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
In solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Twas in the calm and silent night.
The senator of naughty Rome
impatient. wiced his chariot's flight,
From lordly revel rolling home:
Triumphal arches. cleaning, swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless
sway:
What rocked the Roman what bcfell
A paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Within that province far away
Went plo1ding home weary hoor;
A streak of light before him lay.
Falling through a half-shut stablc-Gnor
Across his path. He passed-for naugnt
Told what was going on within:
How keen the stars, his only thought
The air how calrnn, and cold, and thin,
In the solemn midnight
Centuries ago. 49,.

The Alteration of the Wise Men.

Saw you never in the twilight,
When the sun had left the skies.
Tn in Heaven the clear stars shining
Through the gloom like silver eyes?
So Of old the Wise men watching,
Saw a little stranger star.
And they knew the King was given,
And they follow'd it from afar.
Heard YOU never of the story,
How they crossd the desert wild,
.Journev'd on by plain and mountain,
Till they found the Holy Child
How they open'd all their treasure.
Kncaling to that infant King.
Gave the gold and fragrant incense.
Gave the myrrh in Offering.
Know We not that !cwly Baby
Was the bright and morning star.
He who came to light the Gentiles.
And the ,larken'd isles afar?
And we, too, may seek His cradle.
There our hearts best treasures brlns
Love. and faith. and true devotion,
For our Savior. God and King.

Japan's Commercial Expansion.

Anything bearing on the relations.
present or prospective, between this
country and Japan is OF much public
interest at this particular time when
some people are seeing war clouds on
the horizon as a result of the sailing
Of our great battleship fleet for Pacific
waters and when Japan has recalled
Ambassador Aolli from Washington.
In an exceedingly frank article in the
January number Of Appleton's maya
zine Adachi Kinnosuke, a well known
Japanese writer. touches upon new
phase of the situation and his views
are sure to arouse much interest in
diplomatic and commercial circles.
According to Mr.. Kinnosuke Japan
does not want war, because she is too
much concerned in securing the abso-
lutte commercial mastery of the Pacific
by the rapid expansion of her mer-
chant fleets. She Is straining every
nerve to accomplish this before the
United States wakes up to the inn
portance of building and operating
commercial vessels in the Pacific. That
the Land of the Rising Sun will be
ready to fight to maintain her advan-
| taga when her conquest is secure, Mr.
Kinnosuke does not say. but it may
be inferred from what he tells of his
| country's past policy.
The rapid expansion of Japan:
shipping interests in the period follow
ing the war with China, the extension
of ship yards and the building O
ships, says Mr.. Kinnosuke. was for tn,

about 100 wandering beggars forced ar
entry into a house belonging to a gen.
tlenlan surnamed Lii and stole about
S2.n00 worth of property. The matter
was reported to the Pok Lob magistrate,
who ordered several of the leading beg

not satisfied with this they intend re-
porting the matter to the Wai-Chow

sars severely.-Shanghai Times

There are 1876 rural mall delivery
routes in Maine and the State is said
10 be one of the best covered in tine
entire country. During this year
fifteen new routes have been put on
and il is thought that during the
coming twelve months that number
more will be added. The rural mail
delivery is certainly great thing for
the people who live along the routes.
They are able to get their mail every
day and do not have TO take time
which is valuable to them on the
farm to drive to the village after the
mail Few branches of Uncle Sam 3
service have proven greater help
to the public than the rural mail

Russia. At the present time the ex-
pansion is much greater and the ships
that are being turned out are larger
and more important. IN 1903 the total
tonnage of Japan's merchant fleet.
&c ,ording to the figures given in the
Appleton article, was 657 ,269 tons. made
lid of steamers. At the present time
the tonnage is over 100000. The
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the largest OF
the Japanese companies. has a great
err tonnage than any ocean steamship
company in the United States and is
adding new lines and new steamships
every year a significant undertake
ing is the establishment of new
Japanese company which is to operate
a hundred vessels from the beginning.

Against all this Nippon activity"
says the writer. what has the United
State done to cover the Pacific? The
merchant tonnage of the United States
OH the Pacific does not seem to be one
half that of NippCn, one can figure it in
MANY Ways, but this is the best he can
say Of il. When it comes TO the
trans-Pacific service the showing is
much worse We have heard from
Mr.. Hill: he is not going to replace the
Dakota-we cannot see why he should.
Offers have been made and. there is
reason to believe, are being made now
by Nippon companies for the prrchase
Of the ships of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company and those Of the
Oceanic Steamship company"
As showing that Japan is thorough
ly in earnest in her determination to
control the Pacific. Mr.. kinnosuke
quotes the Japanese subsidy law which
gives from 121, to 80 cents a ton for
every 1000 miles sailed by a ship owned
in Japan. 1t also grants a bounty OF
Sc TO $12 a ton and S. horse power
on every ship built in Japanese yards.
The conclusion reached from reading
the statements of this outspoken
Japanese writer is that Japan will not
fight now because she is not ready.
When she has secured the commercial
mastery of the Pacific and when. as
seems likely the American flag has en-
tirely disappeared from that ocean.
there may be different story to tell.
