Very Politely Refuses to Accede
To Proposal for Naturalization
Of Manchurian Railways.
RUSSiA'S REPLY ALSO MADE.
Friendly i'm Tone but American Propo-
sition Strongly Criticized on
Its Intrinsic Merits.

Toxic, Jan. 21.-The reply to the
Japanese government to the United
States proposal for the naturalization
of the Manchurian railways was hand
ed to Ambassador O'Brien this after
noon.
1t is a polite declination.
No intimation OF the contents of the
memorandum of reply is given but the
best information obtainablc indicates
that the communication Is brief and
that the declination to accept the
naturalization proposition is based on
several grounds, the chief of which
are:
The American plan would be of no
advantage whatever to Japan.
1t would afford no advantage to
China.
1t would not change the commercial
situation in Manchuria where Japan is
adhering strictly to its pledges of an
open door and equal opportunity.
1t Is understood that the reply is
couched in terms of friendly apprecia
ton of the American purpose but 1t is
not of an argumentative character and
its conclusions are not qualified.

partment Of the business. Mr..
Felt has conducted the most exten-
siye business under the control and
management Of one man in this

Some Evening Reveries.

| as SCTOnS ClOuRn uOC dS widespread
as in the early ages of our world is
proved by the various rites and
ceremonies practiced on certain
days throughout the year. Even
those who ridicule them yet partic-
ipate in them Just for fun" have
a lingering half-suspicion that they
might come true;" especially is
this the case when inclination points
the way. st. Valentine is the ac-
knowledged patron saint Of lovers;
and the peculiar customs connected
with the day were referred to by
writer's nearly 500 years ago. The
st. Valentine who suffered martyr
dom on the 18th of February was
one of fifty-two saints of that name
but nothing has ever been found in
his life or in the lives Of any of
them that would give occasion for
the singular observances Of the day.
It has been maintained that it was
an ancient custom among the
Romans during the Lupercalia,
celebrated in the month of Febru-
ary, for the boys and men to draw
the names of their future wives in
honor of their goddess, Februate
Juno, and that the Christian clergy,
finding it absolutely impossible to
abolish this heather practice,
changed it to a religious ceremony
by writing on the slips of paper
instead of the names of women
those of particular saints whom
they were to follow and initiate
during the year.
In England, Scotland, France
and some other parts of the CONT
nent it was formerly the custom Of
the young people to meet, write
each others or some Of their ae-
quaintances' names ON slip of
paper, which were thrown into a
box from which they were drawn,
the men taking the girls names
and vice versa. The person thus
drawing became ones valentine
and for whole year was bound to
devote himself to the one who drew
him. Sometimes, of course, this
led to real engagements between
the parties, and often tricks were
played in such a way that the slips
Of paper fell into the hands they
were meant for. During the 18th
century married people could be
chosen as well as those who were
not married, and often very valu-
able presents were exchanged.
y
1t makes little difference in home
happiness whether you own your
house or have one little room on
the sixth floor Of an apartment
house.
You can make that one little
room the perfection Of all that is
worth living for, a quiet harbor to
which husband will turn, feeling
that he has run out of the storm of
his days work into the security of
something that is real.
We are not all born with the
sunshine in our hearts, as the Irish
people prettily term it, but we can
all coax some of it in there if we
only try.
The faculty of seeing the bright
side, or at least the edges of that
side, is one that married people
might cultivate with profit to each
other.
Courtesy is of more value in the
home than many believe it to be.
1t is easier to love a person than it
is TO be always courteous to him,
and VET If is one of tha nost yalu.
