washington, Feb. l0.-There IS
danger in the present Japanese crisis,
for it is a crisis OF sort, but the
danger seems to threaten American
trade in the far east more than the
peace OF the world The American
citizen who has most at stake IS not
the national guardsman but the man
ufauturer who Is exporting to The
Orient.
President Roosevelt fears that leg

The Naming of YpsiIanti.

The story Of the naming of Ipsi-
lanti, Mich, dates back to the time
of the Greek revolution. Some feel
ing arose over a name for the town,
and meeting was held at which
the admirers of General Demctrius
Ypsilanti, the Greek general who
was important as leader for the
people, won, and the Greek name
was given to the city. Some years
ago an attache of the Greek lega-
tion at Washington heard of the
city of Ypsilanti. The evident or
igin of the name interested him, and
he wrote to the mayor of Ypsilanti,
asking how it happened that the
city had the name of the Greek gen
eral, which he said was also his
family name. He asked if there
were any Greeks there and wished
to know something of the city. The
reply told him something of how
the city received its name, and he
responded with an offer of a por-
trait of his kinsman if the city cared
for the gift. Later this was re-
ceived and cared for.-Argonaut.

A SALE OF ANTIQUES.
The Trick a Shrewd Dealer Played on
an Astute Banker.

an Astute Banker.
A story told in the "Memories of
IN Old Collector makes clear the
;ricks in trade to which an unscru-
oulous dealer in antiquities will re-
'ort in order to get large sum for
ais wares. The two parties were
hlessandro Castellani, the clever
lealer, and Baron Adolph Roth
jchild of Paris.
Castellani had managed to get
hold of a superb enameled ever, to-
rether with the dish on which it
ltood. He knew that Baron Adolph
had fancy for objects of this kind,
but he also knew that Rothschild
was never so carried away by his
fancy as to pay more than was rea-
ionable for anything that pleased
him. Castellani devised "A bit of
strategy.
The baron on arriving in Rome
visited Castellani's shop and was
shown the best things the dealer
had except the enameled dish and
aver. When everything else had
been inspected Castelluni drew from
A hidden cupboard the dish, but not
the ever. The baron was so pleased
with the dish that he agreed to buy
the lot of which it was a part, for
one of the customs of the shop was
not to sell a rare specimen apart
from the group of which it formed
the principal object. The baron paid
heavily for the whole, lamenting
that there was no ever to stand on
the dish, and departed for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent
who told him of an old lady who
wished to sell several beautiful ma
jolica pieces. He visited her house
in the country and was disappointed.
As the majolica lady, seemingly cha
grined, left the room to order re-
freshments the baron saw through
the open door of a bedroom a ever
covered by a glass shade on which
rested a wreath of immortelles.
When the lady returned the baron
asked permission to examine the
ever. 1t was brought out, and the
baron saw that the enamel was of
the same work as that of the dish
ne had bought, but he wished to be
certain that the foot of the ever
would fit into the hollow of the
dish. He inquired the price of the
ever and was told by the lady that
twas not for sale, as it was the
only souvenir she possessed of her
husband.
The baron went back to his
rooms, had the dish unpacked and
found that the foot ofthe ever fit
ted it perfectly. The next day the
baron sent the agent to offer the
old lady princely sum for the
ever. He brought back a refusal to
sell. But at last the widows scru-
pies were overcome.
Castellani, with his italian cum
ming, had planned 4 &he whole affair.
The agent who called and the old
lady who was sentimental were his
aids in making the baron pay
much larger sum than he would
have given had ever and dish been
sold together. The italian shop
mans scheme had taken in one of
the most astute of business men.
