From Harper'a Weekly.
 There was time when milk was re- garded in Japan with the same abhor- renee as cheese in China. Recent sta- tistics. however show that time has worked a great change in this respect and milk and butter are now in great fa- vor in Japan. Whereas twenty-five years ago not more than one or two per cent. of the persons visiting a European res taurant, or eating a European meal at a friends house, would have thought of touching butter, fully fortty or fifty per cent. now eat 1t with a relish They are. however, quite content to do without if
 Dairy farms have increased notably in recent years. Butter, however is a hv- product at these places. It is to milk thai they look for their profit. Milk has a curious history in Japan. Thirty or forty years ago 1t was abhorred. The avera ua Japanese could not induce himself to drink it. But today many a housebold consumes one or two bottles of milk daily, partly because people have come to like 1t and partly because the doctors have recommended it as a uniuue and wholesome beverage Milk halls" foo are now quite numerous Butter will probably take much longer to come wide ly into vogue, because of its expensIye- ness. A pound of fresh butter costs at least one yen (49.S cents, gold) in Tokye, today, an extremely high price for Ja- pan.

"Quentin Durvard' is enc Of the most simply constructed novels of Sir Walter Scott, built up most eompactly around it's central spring of action and contain ing little to distract the attention from the hero or from the one great adven- ture, Quentin Durward 8 journey from Tours to Peronne. indeed. almost the whole time of the novel is compressed into the short perioa required for this episode
 Although the story is thus more easily followed than in many others of Scott's greatest novels. there is no lack of the research and insight into history that make all of Seott's works so marvellous. Although Quentin is the hero of the fic- tion, the great character of the book is Louis XI. A fascinating and, on the whole, an impartial and true portrait of this strange king is let to the world here as an important contribution to all liter ature. The author has taken large lfh- critics in places, to all O. which he calls attention in painstalxing footnotes.
 The murder of Louis de Bourbon, bishop of Liege, by de la Marck. called the Wild Boar of Ardennes, did not occur during the insurrection of Liege described in the story, although there was such an insurrection. It broke out preeipitately, while Louis was visiting the Burgundian Duke, who seized on the royal person, as the story narrates. But the Bishop was not killed at that time. It was b years later that the citizens of Liege betrayed him to the Wild Boar, who killed him with his own hand and exposed him naked in the market place.
 The Wild Boar, who was of high birth. was not killed by the Burgundians or the French. He was beheaded in Utrecht by order of Mazimilian Emperor of Austria, in 1485, three years after the Bishops death.

as the style of rowing he teaches can be best exemplined by big men who get the tremendous full sweep of the oars and the long, smooth, feathery reach on the recovery The splendid makeup of tho Crimsons crew also gives Coach Wray of Harvard every chance to show the resulte of coaching men in his style from freshmen to their senior year, In fact among Yale men 1t is Wray can point to crew which has been developed systematically and Yale success on the Thames over a long pe- riod of years Is always attributed to q continuity of the coaching methods which has made possible the develop ment of style of stroke.
 Scrutiny of the rival eIghts cover Ing their period of practices here shows that Yale has very strong smooth rowing boat. It has become n platltude to say that Yale has one of the best crews ever entered in a race with Harvard but expert oars men say that beyond question this year the crw look to be the best in a dozen years. No crew has been worked so hard or covered so many miles In practice rows even If the number of days on which conditions were favorable were less than usual. Many times the crew has rowed eight miles and It's stamina has been built up by these long rows at stroke uni- | fprttatu hal1 at n tn ta ip ute. The boat has moved very fast at this stroke and exceptionally smooth, and Yale men believe that as usual the stroke will tell. The Harvard eight Is recognized as the best seen on the river for years and 1t rows with strength. keeps the boat going all the time and has greater smoothness in its blade work than any Crimson crew ever seen here. The 1 Yale crew finishes its stroke cleaner, but aside from this both crews seen at their best row very much alike. Cut ler's presence in the boat has not made any noticeable difference.
 The men of the two crews have been trained to the moment and no fear is entertained that they will become stale before the race. Yale men hope to see their crew win and are looking forward to that result by a very close margin, but college loyalty but aside every one looks for n very close finish after hard contest from the start
 Of the other crews Harvard's fresh men eight looks very good and the Yale eight not as strong as usual The Yale four pared boat is now con. sidered better than its rival owing tc the shake up due to the sending oi Cutler to the eight and the seating oi substitute in place of Morgan also recalled with Fish to Cambridge.
 The decision will be made to-mor. row as to the course for the two minor races Thursday morning bu 1t is thought there will be no depart ure from the custom of having tho toured race start off Red Top and fin ish at the navy yard at which poin the freshman eights will start and fin ish at the drawbridge.

HITS INJUNCTION PLANK
Bryan Says It's Transparent Fraud and the Committee Was Buncoed.

Lincoln, Neb., June 21.-Following up his expression of yesterday in crit icism of the republican national plat form in general. William J. Bryan to- night gave out statement in which he assails in particular the anti-in- junction plank of the Chicago declar- ation, characterizing 1t as "a trans parent fraud" The statement fol- lows:
 "The anti-injunction plank of the republican platform as finally adopt ed Is transparent fraud. It is pos sible that the members of the com mittee were buncoed by some trust lawyer; that Is the only charitable view that can be taken of 1t. Those who advocated the plank claimed to be doing it as concession to the wage earners, and yet If one will read the plank he will see that 1t Is in fact an announcement that the republican party Is unalterably opposed to the laboring mans position
