jars Are Reserved,

Tokio-In discussing the anti-Japa-
nese agitation by a portion Of the
American press, all classes whose
opinion is worthy of consideration, are
significantly reserved. The two pre-
vailing sentiments noticeable are a
strong disdain and contempt for the
papers in America which entertain the
idea of war between japan and the
United States, and implicit confidence
in President Roosevelt, who is re.
garded as the true type of an Ameri-
can. People are inclined to smilo
with satisfaction at the outbreak of
what appears to them as ridiculous
agitation and at the barbarity prac-
ticed toward innocent children In a
Christian land. which had been class
ed by missionaries and others as a
country which possessed the only
true religion and the only true God.
The Japanese have no doubt been
smarting under the assumed superior
ity OF Christian nations, and now find
such an occurrence amid Christian
civilization, serve in Their judgment as
the confession of an inferiority, moral
and otherwise.
Moreover the successful war with
Russia has inspired the Japanese
with great confidence and although
the possibility of war with the Unit
ed States is not now generally enter
tanned, it may not be amiss to point
out, that some are inclined to regard
as significant Secretary Taft's deci-
sion in regard to terrifying the Ha-
waiian islands.

ator. Lay the coin on the table, at a
little distance from the edge, and place
your half-open hand beyond it. Then
blow suddenly and hard upon the table
about two inches from the coin.
The result will be that the coin will
jump from the table into your hand,
and little practice will enable you to
succeed at every trial. The principle is
that the compressed air from your
lungs gets under the coin, and has
enough elastic force to lift it and carry
1t to your hand.
