FROM OTHER PENS
WHERE JAPAN MUST GUARD.


The declaration of H. Ijuin, Jap
anese minister to China, against any
further encroachments on Chinese ter
ritory is a reference to the Russian
policy that furnishes what has often
been pointed out as the guarantee of
the impossibility of war between the
United States and Japan. Japan is not
unjustifably jealous of Russian en-
croachments in the Far East. She has
been threatened by them close to her
home territory and repulsed them at
immense cost. Her statesmen are not
so stupid as to be ignorant that if she
involved herself in a war with the
United States, the first result would be
the renewal of the Russian advance,
with probably contemporaneous Ger
man seizures of Chinese territory.
Surprising the Ijuin declaration to
have the force of official. though in
formal, declaration of policy, the Jap
anese espousal of Chinas cause can
not be regarded as altruistic. Her
stand against the growth of European
power at her doors has the same basis
as that of the Monroe Doctrine for the
safety of the United States when it
was enunciated. Moreover, If Japan
can restore good feeling with China
and assume a leadership to bring the
masses of China into the same condi-
ton of effectiveness as the smaller
population of Japan, her position in
eastern Asia will be impregnable.
These are cardinal points in Japan's
policy They are essential factors in
her standing and existence.-Pittsbur

TALKING OF AN APPEAL.


They are talking just now in Cana
da about submitting the question of
reciprocity with the United States to
the people. That does not mean that
the direct question itself would be
submitted but it means that there
would be what is known as an appeal
to the people by the government. That
in turn means that a general election
would be called for members of par
Lament throughout the Dominion. OF
course, the direct issue could be
made reciprocity, but it would natur-
ally be confounded with the issue of
continuing a liberal party in power.
with all it stands for. All policies of
the liberal party would have to be
supported or opposed. To that extent
the appeal to the people would not be
true referendum on the subject of
reciprocity, and could not result in a
direct and unmistakable verdict.
The suggestion of an appeal comes
from those centers of the protected
interests, Toronto and Montreal There
is said to be feeling in Ottawa that
this would be very good time in
which to go to the people, for the gov
eminent il convinced that the consti-
tuencies generally are quite favorable
to the proposed agreement Still, there
are many other considerations of a
political nature which might make the
government unwilling to accept the
challenge of the pposition.-Buffalo

Wherat, our old friend Constant
Subscriber gets into the game with a
further defense of Uncle Walt, and
bouquet of onion tops for the gent
from Dodge City. Slow music, please:
SHOW me ditty that Uncle Walt
wrote, and I'll show you a poem of
merit; this knocking on men who've
delivered the goods, '-OS, hang it.
I simply can't bear it! The saphead
who wrote that scribble on Walt. no
doubt has a bee in his bonnet that he
is the only original kid when it comes
to constructing sonnet, and thinks
that perhaps with Old Walt on the
shelf the laurels will fall on his head,
but take 1t from me, son, the people
will read Walt Mason long after you're
dead. Art for arts sake sounds very
nice, but there is where art and

gathered that Mr.. Ponce is for" Uncle
Walt. Even an Englishman with a

cHILDRENs RIGHTS.

IN the nome life never forget that
the children have social rights, and the
chief among these is the right to laugh
when they are happy. to cry when they
are unhappy, and to make noise. A
healthy Child is always active 1t
must jump and scream, fall down. cry
when 1t gets hurt, and jump up only to
repeat the same thing. But to keep it
sun means unhappiness and nearly, if
not quite death. Let them be gay
d ms Is thelr element We always class
chl!dren, birds and flowers together.
And why? Because they should be
equally beautiful, innocent and happy.
we should never rob childhood of it's
ideal loneliness. Even old people
should be gay and happy and good; TOO
good to overcloud the children's hori-
zon with angry eyes and lowering
orows, nor turn their merriment to dis
cord by continual fault-finding Allow
them all the freedom consistent with
absolute safety. Let them play and be
happy, but teach them self-control
Gods estimate of self-control is this:
He that is slow to anger is better than
the mighty and he that ruleth his own
spirit than he who taketh a city"
condemn your children only when
they are really wrong, and then as
gently as possible, but be sure to COM
mend when they do right. A little
praise with child goes long ways.
A child may be1veryss provoking, but
not wilfully bad. Attrihuting bad mo-
tives to thoughtless child has ruined
many little life. Just blame less and
praise more and we shall have bet

their faults are copied from their par
ents, we should exercise the strictest
charity, for verify Charity doth cover

Health consists in keeping clean
and eating only the things that you
want to eat. Nature usually does the
rest. If you pick up the latest maya
zine you will find plenty of health
ta!ks-what to do and what to eat
The story will be entirely different
from the one you just read If you
try to follow these health hints you
will never live to enjoy life. You'll
have cut out eating those hot biscuits
for breakfast and bread and milk for
supper. Then other things you like
will have to go. Of course the Lord
never intended a man to eat all the
salads that are set before him, but in
the first place he really doesn't want
| to eat them and should remember that
the rule to eat only what he wants to
eat holds good. The good old mush
and milk suppers made mighty good
men. The new health hints make
bores and fancied yspeptics.-Hia-

the opportunity which may never come.
But since little things are always
claiming your attention., do them as
they come, from a great motive, for
the glory of God, to win His smile Of
approval and to do good to men. 1t is
better to plod on in obscurity, acting
thus, than to stand on the high places
of the field within a view of all, and
do deeds of valor at which rival ar
mics stand still to gaze. But no such
act goes without the swift recompense
of Christ. To fulfil faithfully the du-
ties of your station; to use to the ut
termost the gifts of your ministry; to
bear chatting and trivial irritations as
martyrs bore the pillory and the stake;
to find the one noble trait in people
who try to modest you; to put the
kindest construction on unkind acts
and words; to love with the love of
God even the unthankful; to be con-
tent to be fountain in the midst of
a wild valley Of stones, nourishing a
few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again q thirsty sheep; and to do
this always, and not for the praise Of
man, but for the sake of God-this
