East and West.

From the HOusekeeper.
II may change my prejudices, but
never my principles" said woman who
had seen eighty years. In other wo IDS,
she was capable of looking at seeming
facts from, different viewpoints. While
the mind knows no space" we are
quite apt to forget our ability to trans
port ourselves mentally from where we
are to whittier We will. We do not get
away from our old geography days when
states were merely irregular spiotches
of color on the maps. We hardly think
of them as being real places, where
real people are to be found.
Some time ago I sat across the table
it was leisurely. comfortable luncheon
from a man whose name is known to
every one through his writing ills life
and New York. We were speaking about
the west and the east and he said:

square miles conveys. no very accurate
idea to us unless we have Travelled and

the man or woman who can persuade
the people Of the west that the business

Moon Magic.

From the London Spectator.
The moon. Of all heavenly luminaries;
is the most closely associated with human
ity: she is the mother of romance. Her
alternate subsection to and triumph over
the earth-born clouds seem to bring her
into nearness and endow her with toll
Grant and tender aspect. In the moonless.
starry sky at night we all are conscious
of a sense of mystery and aloofness. the
stars have other concerns than the small
destinies of man; they never look In at
our windows and shine upon our roof
trees as does the moon. The very light
that reaches us from the awful distance
of the stars is ages old and cold with
the silence Of the stellar spaces-the imag-
ination shrinks before ii. But with the
rising of the moon come the whole troop
of elves and fairies riding her slender
crescent: she is the familiar Puck. the
oldest old thing in England and as she
wakes to her silver round all the passion
and the poetry and the glamour with
which up-gaZing mankind has invested
her gives to the moon another light than
that she borrows from the sun
The magic of the moon is part Of the
very fabric of English poetry-to with
draw the varied moons from the poets
pages would be to dim much radiance
with twilight. Hardy a mood. from de-
spair and madness. to the most innocent
and childlike joy. but finds Its reflect on

Domestic Philosophy.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Two apparently we'll content and jovial
benedicts were discussing the infelicities
of married life in tones easily overheard
as they came downtown in trolley car
the other day. Now my wife and rarely
quarrel said one. land it is soon over
when We do. but 1 had opportunity the
other evening to impress a bit of domestic
philosophy. We were sitting in front Of
the open fireplace, with tabby comfortably
snoozing on. one side and a young collie
dog blinking at the fire from the other
end. Why can't we always live pleasantly
together like those two?' remarked my
wife suddenly. 1 didn't say anything. but
a thought occurred to me. and. getting up,
/ fetched piece Of string and tied one
end to the cats ear and the other around
the dogs front leg. In about two sec
onds there was mix-up, and If hadn't
stopped 1t quickly by cutting the string
there would have been little left of either
the dog or the cat. Now. that's my idea
said I. why most married people quarrel.
They can't get far enough from each
other when one happens to feel hurt and
my wife didn't say a word"

Why France Has Good Teachers

Charles F. Thwing. in Harper's Magazine.
The high quality of teaching found in
French schools is due in no small de-
gree. both directly and indirectly, to the
University of Paris and to the Ecole
Normale Superieure, also of the capital.
This Is school, established like similar
schools in America. as place for the train
ing Of teachers. It's diploma Is of great
worth in securing and holding a good
place on a teaching ,staff. 1t has not
yet been able to pass out Of stage of
rdicule and of a certain degree of dis
like on the part Of some scholars although
Its work is of a very high character. This
excellence of the work itself, however. is
lifting it to high and wide place of es-
TEEN. In the general scheme of scholastic
sympathies and affilation the rela-
ton existing between this school and the
University Of Paris is helpful to each.
The university may present content of
knowledge. and the normal school meth
DDS for making this content available
as teaching instrument. In Paris and
France, as in America, the best teacher
represents the liberal training of the high
er education united with the professional
training of the school of education.

ORIENTAL PICKERING
PROGRESS OF ROW BETWEEN
JAPAN AND CHINA.

Special Cable2ram to The Star.
TOXIC, March 6.-The Chinese govern
ment would consent to release the Tatsu
temporarily, upon bonds, and also to
apologize for the hauling down of the
Japanese flag, but it insists upon the de-
tention Of the Mauser rifles and the am
munition that were found on board, on
the. ground that the Tatsu. when over
hauled, was anchored in Chinese waters.
Japan peremptorily objects. inasmuch as
the Portuguese officials at Macao testify
that. the importers held license that
covered the Tatsu's cargo and the skip
per held Portuguese permit.
The only doubtful point is about the
spot at which the Tatsu was anchored.
1t is admitted that she was ten miles
from Macao. This. howevery was on ac-
count of shoals. which she was waiting
for an incoming tide to deepen. Anyway.
Japan claims that she was in Portuguese
waters. China urges that Macao Is SIM
ply leased by the Portuguese. Therefore
the waters are not territorial The opin-
ion is that China will yield after show
of resistance sufficient to satisfy her
rights of recovery and the agitators. The

nection with the incident.

SEIZURE OF THE TATsU.
Opinion Here Sustains the Claim of

Information has reached here confirm
ing the statements that China proposed to
submit to a mixed court the question of
her right to seize the Japanese vessel
Tatsu. Japan peremptorily declined to
agree to. the proposition and insisted on
the surrender Of the ship as preliminary
to consideration of~the case. Thus the
case stands at present. 1t is understood
here that Japan has not presented an
ultimatum to China The opinion in
Washington Is that If the statement Of
facts by Japan is correct then that coun-
try had perfect right to demand the re-
turn Of the vessel.
