MEN AND THINGS.
The Bnrn Hospital.

II is with regret that many will hear
that the famous Shealer's barn, close 10
the battlefield Of Gettysburg. is to be torn
down. 1t has long been "a picturesque
figure OF the neighborhood. with its
matched roof. its history of hospital serv-
ice. and its bullct-scarred sides. It is
decaying fast. for IL has stood for nearly
century and a half but its memories
are such that on such spot. the Mecca

A Woman OmciaI.

In Portland, Greg. the board Of health

officer TO I'll the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Or. Wheeler, "a man. DR..

the cautious and painstaking reply ten
dered the pastor. it is evident that they
are stil cropping in the dark, while he,
though out. is quite complacent. The
congregation is full of sympathy for both
the deposed rector and his accusers.
Meanwhile the vestrymen are wondering
how they are to get out Of the mess and
preserve even a fraction of dignity.
All Of which demonstrates that it is well
to be absolutely frank when you ask for
a resignation.

For the East Is Fast.

What Kipling sang seems TO be pretty
| true-"For the East is East and the
| West is West. and never the twain shall
meet only it might have been truer had
he said never the twain will mix" for
that is. after all. and speaking broadly.
what seems TO be the matter along our
Pacific coast and in British Columbia.
There is a disposition, or there has been.
in some localities, 10 blame the residents
OF California for their attitude toward
the incoming Japanese--it is always easy
TO condemn a thing the i'll effects of
which we do not directly feel; but. after
all, the conditions against which the
residents of Vancouver have been fcrcibly
protesting. as the citizens Of California
have protested before. is not a question
Of locality, but a question Of nationality.
The truth of the whole matter is that
the Anglo-Saxon and the Asiatic will not
mix tremendously. The longest expert
ment in this has been, Of course, in In
dia. where the two races have. in a
measure, lived side by side. But the In
dian mutiny was only an outbreak OF
race hatred. ia which England was the
conqueror. and she has remained the
conqueror ever since, aloof distant-the
ruler.
To the goal Of Anglo-Saxon civilization
the Asiatics have turned their eyes They
turned them toward Australia, and Aus
tralia promptly passed laws excluding
them altogether; so that there is no
problem there. in South Africa, in spite
Of the fact that East Indian troops did
good service during the BOer war, they
would have nothing TO do with the Hin
docs as laborers; and more recently the
experiment Of trying Chinese labor on the
Rand has proved disastrous.
1t is the same in Asiatic countries.
Japan does not want either Americans or
Englishmen, and it has laws which do
much 10 keep them out: II restricts their
methods of life in Japan. deprives them
OF many rights. and makes no effort 10
placate them. In China. save in the
treaty ports where AnglO-S8xon cities have
arisen, the Western man lives by suffer
auce alone.
In this question OF race riots. with the
japanese and the Chinese and the Hindoos
on the one hand and England and
America on the other, the issue IS clearly
defined. The points of difference are ones
that may be settled by cool statesman
ship and calm judgment-no one believes
that they are sufficiently acute to justify
any talk Of war; but any settlement must
be based on the understanding that blood
is thicker than water. and that even q
peaceful invasion Of AngIo-Saxon coun-
tries by our Asiatic nelghbors cannot be
tolerated except on our own terms.

An interesting novelty tina; has been
recently introduced into the German
army IS a revolver which fires illuminat-
ing bullets. The weapon has the general
appearance Of the regular service re-
volyer, but is larger in caliber and in
general dimensions. The bullets, after
being fred, become highly Illuminating.
The dicharge is practically noiseless; the
bullet rises about hundred yards and
has q range Of about the same distance.
Wherever the bullet alights the land
scape is lit up as brilliantly as by day
light for about half a minute. This ena-
bles attacking troops TO reconnoiter eff
fectlvely, and readily % detect the pres
ence of an enemy. on falling to the
ground or on buildings these illuminating
bullets do not set fire TO cOmbUstible OBJ
jects, and they are therefore not dan
gerous to use IN localities where fire
might be as dangerous e the attacking
troops as TO the enemy.
