JAPAN's FEELING.
Not an Open Friendship, and Still Not
an Enmity.

"While the popular feeling in JAP
an toward the United States is not
exactly one Of open friendship, it is
certainly not a feeling Of enmity, .
said Prof. F..A. Shattuck, Of the Keio
university Of Toxic, Japan, who, in
company with Baron K. Utsumi, Of
the same city, is making a tour Of
this country for the purpose of cf-
fording the young Japaneses, who is
a son Of Baron Utsumi, former min
ister of home. affairs Of Japan, all
opportunity to see how things art
done in other countries.
"The American however, eontin-
ued Prof. Shattuck to a reporter fol
the Washington Herald, "is more
popular than the German, French OF
Italian, while the Englishman is more
popular than any other foreigner.
This is because of the alliance exist
ING between Great Britain and Jap
an. Foreigners are not popular III
any country, and Japan treats them
as do the Others. It is natural that
the Japanese should feel deeply hu-
mii'';ated by being excluded from this
country, which they regard as a land
of OPPORTUNITIES for the people Of all
countries. While it is true that the
Japanese laws exclude foreigners
from holding property in Japan, we
do not draw the line on any one ma
ton. We simply exclude them all.
II am quite certain that Japan
does not want war, although [ am not
speaking authoritatively, as the Jap
anese government keeps its plans
we'll from the outer world. Japan
realizes that it is only the weak that
is mistreated, and is, therefore,
strengthening her position in the eyes
of the world. It is only natural that
Japan should establish preponderat-
| inc influence or, at least, should try
to do so, in the far east, politically
as we'll as commercially. the country
being an island and being altogether
dependent on the mainland for food
stuffs.
"I do not believe that Japan will
ever let 60 Of Korea, and what she
will do in regard to the evacuation is
known only by her statesmen, but not
by the general public. It must be
admitted that japanese by degrees
usurp business Of foreigners in ia
pan and are beginning to stand or
their own feet. There is one thing
which japanese business men and the
people in general should try - cN!
tivatc and acquire and hold fast ai?
| ;nat is commercial morality, or buSl
ness honesty. AS it is the japanese
men who have not the confidence 0!

WOMEN AS WITNESSES.
j. .'Ham'' Lewis Says an Oath Means
Nothing to Them.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-"Remember, gentle
men of the bar, an oath means nothing
to a woman, and. as Horace has so
truthfully expressed it, when woman
starts out to perjure herself. all h
cannot keep her record
With these words and a few more
like them, Colonel James Hamilton
Lewis took the breath away from 200
students of the Northwestern universe
ty law school.
"a woman always comes to testify
as a witness for one or two reasons,
he said. Either she comes through a
sense of affection or duty to those
whom she loves, or she comes to salts
fly what she regards as a perfectly
legitimate feeling of resentment.
IF 1t Is the first of these she will
come through fire and water to testify
and she will see things as her friend
views them. Sincerely and earnestly
she will testify that things are as she
thinks they ought to be, and you may
cross-examine until you have exhaust
ed the vocabulary and you Will get
nothing from her but her ideas of what
they ought to be. A woman has no
idea of the sanctfty Of an oath, and a
woman will repeat when on oath any
thing which she will say when not on
oath.
eff she comes as your witness, i'm
PEELED by a feeling of resentment, be
careful not to let her tell why she came.
Get your main point out of her as ex-
peditiously as possible and let her go;
do not branch off into collateral mat
tiers. or she will take the first oppor-
tunity to vindicate herself for appear
ing by telling the grudge she has
against the defendant.
ION the other hand. If you are cross
examining her be careful not to let her
state the grievance that has brought
her in as a witness against your client
unless you are sure Of what it is. for no
matter what a woman does II 1t be an
act impelled by natural and legitimate
affection the world will ever forgive
her"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflammed condition of

When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness Is the
results and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
