great commercial enterprises. An ex-, ample of these is Enki Ri, son of one of the three weaIthiest families in Japan. whose grandfather was the Rockefel- Ter of the Formosan oil trade. Mir. RI is studying foreign trade, business organization, accounting, commercial law and economic law at New York University.
 But a large proportion of tho stu dents are drawn from poorer classes and frequently they toll at some form of manual labor during the day, in or der to take courses at some university at night, A number of New York fam flies have found that the Japanese ser want was studying economics and finance at the university in the even ing.
 These ambitious young Japs, though they may have been graduated from high schools or universities in their country. purposely select some form or manual labor to support themselves here in order that they may have their minds clear for the university work.
 The largest university contingent of Japanese in the East Is at New York University, in this city, where there are ithirty-six of the busy little yellow men and women. Five are studying Tn the law school, three are in the Schooi of Pedagogy. three take regular even ing college courses, and twenty -nve are in the School of Commerce. The large number of Japanese in the School of Commerce is attributable to the vorac- ity with which the Japanese goobIe up American commercial theory.
 "They are among our best students keen. alert and conscientious. de- clared an officer of the school. But 1t is a curious fact that trey do nh flock to the more practical courses, such as those in accounting. ey take more general work than any other class of students. The theory and philosophy of business is what thev appear to want, and courses m business management, finance, econon- lcs. railroad management and similar subjects seem to attract them rreslst- ibly."

New York, Jan. 1S.--An English uni versity professor who was recently de- livering a series of lectures at great American University, remarked the presence of several attentive Japanese students.
 T have iectured or attended lectures at universities in five or six European countries during the last few years" he said, "and always there were one or two Japanese faces in the audience. The Japs are the constant clement in the educational Aux. Wherever there Is anything to be learned, you will md your Jap sitting with serious face, steadily absorbing. And from all four corners of the globe the Japs are tax ing back to the home country today the latest knowledge in all branches. the best that Is thought in the world.
 This international invasion of Jap anese students has been quietly going on under subsidies from the Mikados Government for the past forty years. and it has been particularly directed, or late years, toward the United States, where according to the best stasistics obtainabIe there are today some SOO Japanese students studying at the va rious universities and colleges. These students form about 1.2 per cent. or lthe Japanese population of the United States. a percentage of students un- 'eoualIed in any other foreign element in our population. Of our general population only one-quarter of per cent. about 100000. are students in universities. colleges or professional schools.
 The Japanese students in America are significant of Japan's world wide hunt for efficiency. The Japanese Gov ernment spends upwards of $i50,o00 year in sending it's best students abroad to America and EI'Dpe n learn the latest educational methods ard 10 Gar- ner the most advanced results of the scientific research of the world. There are about 15o of these Government subsidized students studying in various countries today, and each year they carry back to their native land not only great stores of scientific knowl- edge, but also the latest information about manufacturing processes Of all kinds Each student has a maximum allowance from the Government of $S0O a year, and in special cases this may be increased by as much as $750 more for touring or special study Tn all cases an allowance of $10O is made for outfit, which probably accounts for the fact that every Japanese student owns a frocII coat and silk hat. In addition. ss5O is allowed for travelling expenses each way to students who go to study in the Western States, and s40O to those who go to our Eastern universities.
 This little company of seekers for efficiency is supplemented by larger army of Japanese who go to foreign universities at their own expense. eith- CT with the idea of going back to Ja- pan with the additional advantages that foreign education gives. or of training themselves for special occupations in the country inlwhich they study. These men and women form the greater part of the Japanese University students in America. Some of them are the scions of wealthy Japanese families who will 20 back to Japan to conduct

 He has discovered that bacteria have their busy hours. besides increasing or decreasing with the seasons. Midwtnter Is apparently the. healthiest time, for in December and January the microbes diminish in number. In July ard Au- gust their number increases. This is easily explained by the greater dry ness of the afr, in which dust floats for a longer time in the summer.
 "But 1t is less easy to explain" says the professor, 'twhy. in the same day, the number of microbes per cu- bic centimetre of air varies with the hours. It is at o'clock in the morn ing and at o'clock in the evening that We find them abroad h the at mosphere in the greatest numbers. At : o'clock in the morning and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the number is comparatively much smahr.'

What is This Country.

1t seems rather late in the day to
inquire what is the United States?"
But that is just the question that has
been propounded in connection with
the new penny postal rate with Eng
land. An arrangement providing for
such rate has been made by the post
al authorities of Great Britain and the
United States-by Great Britain" be-
ing meant the United Kingdom of
England ireland, Scotland and Wales
Just what was meant by the United
States does not seem to be quite
clear. Does it mean from the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the
lakes to the Gulf" in the language of
the campaign orator, from Maine to
California and from the Sault Ste.
Marie to the Everglades of Florida?"
Or does it mean all of the United
States in North America, including
Alaska and also the Philippines.
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and other
colonial brio a-brac which we have col
lected during the past decade or so?
In other words, does the postage
stamp follow the flag? Until this
question is definitely and officially de-
Lermined there may be complications

Sunshine and Smiles.

Editor Frank Birdsall, of the Yazoo
Sentinel gives voice to the beautiful
sentiment contained in the following
lines:
Most of us owe debts of gratitude
to strangers whose kindly smile has
sent sunshine into our aching hearts
and has given us courage when we
were disheartened.
ut is a great thing to go through
life with a smiling face. It costs
little, but who can ever estimate its
value?
Think how the pleasure of life
would be increased if we met smiling
faces everywhere-faces which radi-
ate hope, sunshine and cheer! What a
JOY it would be to travel in a gallery
of living pictures, radiating hope and
courage!
"Who can estimate what beautiful,
smiling faces mean to the wretched
and the downcast-those whose life
burdens are crushing them?
MANY of us carry precious memo
ries of smiling faces which we
glimpsed but once, but whose sweet,
uplifting expression will remain with
us forever"
