THE PASSING OF THE EAST.

Mutshito has bzeen on the imperial
throne forty-fve years, a longer time
than any European monarch except
Franz Joseph OF Austria, but even
this Is a very short span as compared
with the life of a nation. Brief as
1t has been. no country in history
can show such strides of advancement
and national progress as has been
made by Japan in this short time.
Indeed, short as 1t Is, a further limi-
tatton may be put upon it, for it
was not until late in the nineteenth
century that this Orient land began
to awaken from the long sleep in
which she had been indulging for
many centuries.
When Mutsuhito was q boy, his
country was little farther advanced
in Occidental knowledge and cfvila-
zation than some of the South Sea
Islands. Japanese soldiers then
fought with bows and arrows or with
lances behind great barbados of
padded armor. Their fleets consist
ed Of rudely constructed open gal
legs of woodwork, far inferior to the
viking craft of a thousand years ago.
There were no railroads, no agricul-
tural systems, no modern science.
But q change was coming; the Japs
we're soon to awake and discover
their own dormant power. This
awakening they owe to America, and
they acknowledge it. Perry taught
them an object lesson when they
looked upon his shipe, the practical
emblems of the might of a Western
Power. They learned the power of
a canon and the efficiency OF gun
powder and steel. They became
fighters, and they have fought so
well since as to excite the wonder
and admiration of the world. First,
they had troubles among themselves,

HOSPITAL BUREAU ELL.

/ There is invested in hospital plants
in this country today about a quarter
of a billion dollars. And yet half
the population of the country, ap-
proximately, is without access to
hospitals.
AS against 500 hospital beds per
100000 of population in the Euro
pean capitals, and $50 beds, approx
mately, in New York State, there are
states where there have been pro-
vided thus far only fifteen to twenty
beds. AS American hospitals increase
In size and number they should ad-
rance in efficiency. Hospital ad-
ministration concerns the whole
country.
In the hope of promoting the scien-
tiic development of hospitals, a bill
has been introduced in Congress by
Representative Doremus of Michigan,
and by Senator Fletcher of Florida,
authorizing and empowering the Pub
lie Health and Marine Hospital Serv-
ice "to collect, receive, maintain and
classify In such a manner as may be
accessible to federal, state, municipal
and other hospital authorities, plans
of hospital or ~dispensary buildings,
descriptive matter relating to thelh
equipment, rules and regulations,
reports of institutions, reports of
committees engaged in the investiga-
ton Of hospital problems, and other
literature relating to hospitals, dis
pensaries, nursing associations, and
other agencies for the care of the
sick"
The proposed bureau, if estab-
lished, will bear to hospital admin
istration a relation similar to that
which now exists between the United
States Department of Education and
public education in the several COM
monwealths. The maintenance of
the bureau would be so inexpensive
that 1t may be difficult to make Con-
gress realize the tremendous power
for good that the bureau would rep
resent.-S. S. Goldwater, Mt. Sinai
Hospital, New York, In The Survey.

against the Shotgun restored the pow
er of the throne. The caste system
was swept away in 1871. Satsuma
rebellion was crushed in 1877. In
1890, a modern constitution was
adopted, and in 1894-5 the might of
imperial China, with her populous
millions, was humbled in the dust
of defeat. But the browning glory
Of all was when the snarls Of con-
tempt of the Russian Bear were
turned into bowls of dismay and de-
feat in 1904 by a series of the most
brilliant victories the world has ever
Witnessed.

All these things happened in tn.

All these things happened in the
time of Mutsuhito, and Japan stands
today at the gates OF the East, one
of the Great Powers of the World.
What changes will take place on the
passing of Mutsutito lies, Of course,
in the future. The Crown Prince
Y~oshihito, who himself is but

nerves. They have flutes. horns. vio-
Inns. mouth organs. guitars and table
harps to be played with a loaded

music akin to our mandolins. Every

OLD BAVARIAN TOWNS.
Many Of the Smaller Ones Merely
Walled Farm Villages.

WaHoO SlUaSeb.
In old Bavarisn districts many OF the
smaller towns are merely walled farm
villages. These settlements OF agricul-
turlsts reproduce the ancient laager
for all Each is built In the form Of a
parallelogram, the shorter sides hav-
ing each gateway. with double gates,
over which rise central square watch
towers capped with conical red roofs.
A narrow road or street runs from gate
to gate with old half timber houses
set back close to the inclosing wall.
The ground floor of these houses af-
fords stabllng for cattle. and from
these stables the cows are driven out
through the town gates in the morn
ing and brought In at night. Town
ships like this are merely clusters or
houses intimately connected with the
farm lands that lie beyond their gates.
The peasantry. whether peasant pre-
prietors or allotment leaseholders, go
In and out TO their work.
In eastern Bavaria. toward the Dan
ube, where the better class farms are
to be seen, one finds farmhouses OF
wood, great shingled roof covering
as In Holand-not only the large liv-
ing apartment, with many bedrooms,
but also the stables for the horses
and cattle. On such farms much OF
the farm work is done by girls. who
usually wear short petticoats. tight
bodices and kerchIefs on their heads.
Most Of the men are either In the army
or working at trades.
