Rulers Use Visiting Cards.

In answer to another question, kings
and queens. emperors and expresses use
visiting cards like everybody else. They
usually return calls that are made upon
them by card instead of in person. The
list to whom this favor is accorded, how
ever, is naturally small. When the Car
of Russia and his family went over into
Germany last summer to spend several
weeks at watering place every person
of rank and title in the neighborhood
called to pay their respects, and their
visits were acknowledged by sending an
aid-de-camp to leave cards bearing the
engraved name Of the emperor and the
empress in the French language. This Is
customary whenever a sovereign visits a
foreign country, and 1t Is often observed
when he visits city or a country house
in his own country.
Engraved visiting cards among royalty

Possibilities of War.

Although there are jingos in both coun-
tries, who talk about war between Japan
and the United States, no sane man in
either country believes that such thing
can he possible. for several reasons.
In the first place. the financial condi-
ton of the Japanese is such that they
would not be able to maintain themselves
for any great length of time in a contest
with q country of our resources.
In the second place, Japan cannot get
along without our Gotten and other raw
material, and she has no other market
for her tea. silk. mating and other manu-
featured products.
In the third place. the moment Japan
became involved In hosttIities with the
United States Russia would jump on her
back and take Manchuria and Korea away
from her Russia has made treaty alii-
ance with japan, but it is for temporary
use in order to quiet the approximations OF

In the fifth place. England and Ger
many would not permit Japan to have a
war with the United States, because OF
the consequences to their interests In the
east and the opportunity 1t would offer
for Russia to accomplish her aggressive
policy.
In the sixth place, both the government

but after the French revolution so many
people came into prominence who were
not able to write that they had their
names inscribed upon small sheets of pa

Napoleon Set Precedent.
Napoleon Bonaparte adopted at first
printed, then autographed and afterward
engraved cards. and was the first SOW
ereign to Use his family name upon a
card. You can see the originals at the
Cluny and other museums In Paris. The
inscription is Napoleon Bonaparte, EN-
peror of France" Sovereigns, servants
and children are usually called by their
Christian names. ALI royal cards are en-
graved in the French language, except
those of the Emperor of Germany. His
read:
Deutscher Kaiser; Koenig Won Preussen.
The Emperor of Austria does not have
the same prejudice against French, and
his cards are inscribed:
Francois Joseph
Emperor dAutriche; Roi de Hongrie.
The late King Of England had his cards
printed in French. When he was Prince
Of Wales they read: albert Edward le
Prince de Gales" and after he became
king they were simply Edward VII.
King of England and Emperor of India. :"
All of the other sovereiens use the
French language, and some OF them SIM
ply have one Of their baptisnlal names
inscribed without a title. For example
the late Empress of Austria carried a
card bearing the impression Of an inn
perial crown with the name Elizabeth"
inscribed under it. The ex-Enpress Eu-
genie of France uses q similar card. She
clings to the crown that she lost forty
years ago, and the name Eugene" IL
sufficient to inform whoever may be
concerned Of her presence.
When a sovereign or member of a
royal family stops at hotel he usually
appears ''incOgnito" and IS registered
under one Of his minor titles, of which
kings usually have plenty. The German
kaiser, for example. has fifty-seven diff
ferent titles, and the King Of England
has twelve. Cards bearing the title Sc
lected are provided for the occasion and

ty is delighted to receive, q

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
Several interesting inquiries have been
received which it is a great pleasure to
answer.
One of them is whether the soil of the
United States is not being exhausted by
constant cultivation and the neglect to
apply fertilizers, as is done in the Euro
pean countries. The writer has heard
of apprehension that our farms may
cease to produce as abundantly in the
future as in the past and that we may
ultimately become dependent upon other
countries for our food.
This is not fair cause for anxiety at
present. There is no doubt that the soil
in some Of the older states has been worn
out by land robbers who are so greedy
that they will not allow their fields to
rest, and others who are too ignorant to
know that the soil requires rest and
change, just like humon beings, to do its
full duty; but the reasons for the rota-
ton in crops is becoming better and bet
ter understood. the agricultural schools
are demonstrating the rules and methods
that will produce the best results, and
the instruction In the rudiments of agri-
culture now being given in the public
schools of the country is revealing to
the coming generation the my steries of
nature and the character and habits OF
different forms of plant life.
The ability of the soil under scientific
cultivation to maintain its strength and
usefulness and to produce crops at a
rate Of increase equal or greater than
the normal increase of population has
been demonstrated time. and again by .--e

Cards in the United States.

The President Of the United States has
card engraved simply with the two
words 1.-The President" and his wife's
cards are equally simple and bear moth
ing but the name Mrs. Taft. Mr.,
Knoxs cards are engraved 1.-The Secre-
tary of State and his wife's Mrs.
Knox This Is the custom for all cabi-
net officers and officials Of the govern
ment.
The nobility of England and other Eu.
ropean countries use their titles only,
such as THE Duke Of Argyll and III.
r. H. the Princess Louise" The Chinese
are very particular about their cards,
which were used centuries before Ma
poleon was born. The custom Of exchang-
ing cards dates back several thousand
years. and mandarins and officials of the
government have their names and titles
printed upon large red cardboard often q
foot square, which are sent ahead Of
them by messenger when they start out
to pay call. The messenger usually ar
rives fifteen minutes or a half hour be-
fore his master, so that the person to be
visited may have an opportunity to make
proper preparations for receiving his
guest. Men of lesser Importance use
cards Of smaller size.
In Java and Sumatra the natives use
pieces of bark handsomely inscribed, and
in Japan In early days strips l4f paper
with Illuminated borders. with the name

these are only to be seen in the museums
now. The Japanese are the most up-to-
date people in the world in all matters OF
ceremony and etiquette.
In answer to another question ! would
say that the government of Japan still
collects the war taxes and is using the
proceeds for building battleships and
keeping up the national defenses. but
not with any idea or expectation Of war
with the United States. According to the
newspaper dispatches the budget this
year contains $37.cO0OOo to carry out the
naval program, and a very large appro
priation for contingent purposes in the
budget has attracted considerable atten-
ton. No purpose is specified. no ex-
PLANTATION is given. and the general i'm
preston is that the greater part Of it is
to be used fer defensive purposes. Under
the form of the appropriation the fund is
available for any purpose desired by the
min stry, and it is made that way SO that
neither foreign inquirers nor tile people
of Japan shall know the manner of it's
