POLISH

the looks though they will not admit it.
 Perhaps nowhere. does polish work greater wonders than in the kitchen. the kitchen unclean. The unpublished floor and zinc detract so much from the looks of the place. Let the cook ing utensils become unclean and un- cared for, and they must be exchang- ed for newer and brighter ones. As a measure of economy, then, they will repay for the effort spent on them. Not that l think the housekeeper should be slave to her neatness. once knew one who claimed it was positive suffering to her to see a shred on her carpet, and it must be removed immediately at what ever ex- penditure of time and strength.
 That is flying to the other ex- treme.
 But we must remember all this is usually attained by friction. Isn't why a peaceful old age often finishes a bustling complimenting life?
 We often hear it said, "Old Mrs. Brown is so much more amiable than she used to be. I really dreaded to meet her at one time she seemd so fretful but now she is delightful" The friction of life has polished off the corners of her temperament till they are smooth. There are staircases in the world, we are told, where the feet of pilgrims have SmOOthed and polish ed the stones by constant use. Also we read of statues where the friction of devout lips has smoothed and rounded away the original corners. Even so in our lives time proves an efficient polish at last.
 What poor specimens of our race are those who form the opposite class to those I have mentioned, selfish, mo- rose, unsocial, they seem to be the nat ural enemy of all their kind. It is from their ranks the socialist is drawn, the anarchist, the one who most of all undermines the foundation of all or der and stability in any communi- ty. Advance what opinion you may. you will find yourself opposed with fruitless statements. Unhappy, him self, he delights in making others un- happy also. Of what use in the world is such an one?
 Friction alone can remedy the evil Friction can round off the corners and ragged edges of our faulty and inn perfect lives. Let us welcome it then, as we should welcome tn kindly sever lty Of the surgeon, who restores to health at the expense sometimes of temporary pain and suffering What mother, however tender hesitates to lnf1tct pain. when her child is to be made well by such means? Providence is wiser and more loving than she. An old gentleman once told me in the most reverent fashion, Even the Son learn ed obedience through the things that He suffered"
 Ought we to be afraid of discipline from the same loving hand?

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

Japan may have troubles of her own at home but it is made evident that it is not proposed to allow her pro- tests to this country concerning the rights of the Japanese in the United States to be disregarded, or to accept as satisfactory what to them is very unsatisfactory. The address of the Japanese foreign minister dispe1s any doubt which may exist in regard to this matter and 9revives a subject which has been allowed to simmer along without progress for some time. even to the point of being considered a closed incident.
 That Secretary Bryan should look upon the outcome optimi istically indi- cates that he sees a way for the bridging of the difficulties which of course involve the existing feeling in California as well as the Japanese side of the question. From Baron Ma hno's statement the notes of protest have failed to obtain a solution and another way must be adopted for &C., complaining the desired ends.
 What this new way will be is not revealed, but it undoubtedly refers to efforts being made for a new treaty that the desired adjustment can be accomplished in that manner. This means it is a. question for diplomacy to handle and that Japan will en- deavor to secure through that method the rights for her countrynnen which have been so long sought and equally as long opposed. It will mean a lengthy considerat1Jn of the Japanese question, but one which ought not to disturb the friendly relations of the nations any more than in the past.

 (Written Especially for The Bulletin.) As wrote the title of this paper, reason came to my mind for fur ther reform in spelling. For a long time l have been convinced of the uselessness of silent at the end of iii the instance just referred to, the meaning is greatly affected. Who knows whether 1 am intending to write about class of people or a brightness of silver and other things Only a division into syllables can de- eide whether people are in my mind or scrub clothes. A hyphen is only a little straight line, which affects only the eye, but does not reach the ear, and we are still in the dark as to the spoken word.
 Now it happens that it is not people who fill my thoughts to-day, but means by which the world may be- come better. When we want to at tract others to us. on our way of thinking. we find our manners take on an extra shine. We polish them up for the occasion. I have during my life met individuals of whom it was said: "Oh, don't fear for him. He will go through the world on his manners" One such was in school work and in his case it was true I never knew stress of circumstances. Severe at times he was. but never ll-mannered Such boise means much self-control, careful choice of speech, quick no- tice of need and opportunity. Anoth CT was a business man, though what line of work he undertook I never knew That he was successful. l do know, and that his fine manners nev- CT failed him am equally certain Placed wherever he might be his af- fable manner gained him favorable notice.
 From clergyman to hod-carrier no one can afford to overlook his bear ing towards others. Of how many it can be truthfully said, Yes, he is a good man, but what a bear! I or of him, or go to him for sympa- thy, if I were in trouble" How much happiness is lost by such! Call 1t tact, if you will, and a mural gift, but it can't be acquired like all oth- CT virtues by practice.
 How much polish can do to make one's home attractive. It becomes a part of cleanliness. When all dust is removed from the furniture, the room is frightened and seems sweeter and cleaner in the process. We all know of the many infallible kinds of polish offered in the market, but with all friction is needed to secure good re- suits. Friction will repay the exer- ton entailed. and the home will be the brighter for it. An aged lady told me once, cannot sweep but dust all the time,' and her rooms showed that she practiced all she claimed
 Nothing so improves the table as highly polished silver and glass. We all like our tea and coffee more if the spoons be bright, and water seems fresher and even cooler from a well polished glass Offer the same food from dingy dishes and from we'll polished clean ones, and how much greater is the relish. when the manner of serving is attractive. We have an old authority for serving butter in a housekeeper who feels assured that a seemly dish can be found for, what ever brand she desires to put before her family or their guest. I know there are those who contend that they don't care, provided they only get the food, but even they are affected by

parted to converts. Being curious to examine the passage in Mark, to see if that Scripture had been wrested from it's original setting, we found this footnote in explanation of the last chapter of Mark containing the remarkable utterance: "*The two old est Greek manuscripts and some other authorities, omit from verse ninth to the end. Some other authorities have a different ending to the Gospel.
 These being the facts. MT. Editor, the proof is wanting to assure us that the passage was even written by St. Mark or ever uttered by our Lord.
 It is related of King Charles II, the great patron of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences that one day he proposed to the as sembled philosophers of his realm the following proposition: Suppose two pails of water are equally balanced on a weighing beam. Why is it, that if live fish be placed in one of the pails, that pail does not weigh heavier than the other" The learned savants had as many explanations as their number. but no two agreed At length one, who had remained quiet, ventared to suggest that the fish be weighed, and his majesty said. Quite right" and laughed at the discomfited phil osophers. A good many theological problems, too. perhaps, might be solved by just weighing the fish.

THE uhEoutppED BRIGHTER.

Not little worry was occaSioned by the aon- appearance of the long over due Italian steamship Oceano which was towed into port with a crew of fifty men after having been picked up 400 miles off the coast in dire straits. Her coal supply was exhausted, her boiler tubes were disabled and she was badly battered and helpless
 If there was any condition aside from disaster which was needed to demonstrate the importance of having the slow freight vessels equipped with wireless apparatus, this trip of the Oceano should be sufficient. This steamship was at the mercy of the
 ocean. It was powerless to help itself
 and depended entirely upon the chance
 meeting with another vessel which
 could render assistance Signals which were visible but a short distance were
 the only means of securing aid and in
 the meantime many lives and a val uable cargo were subjected to unneces- sary risk. While confidence was placed in the stauncllness of the craft to sur vive the storm nothing was known of it's location or its rredicament, all of which could have been quickly re- vealed and assistance despatched through the invaluable medium of a wireless outfit.
 Had it met with disaster such as would have threatened the lives of the crew it would have been the same Nothing more could have been done towards informing the many ships within reasonable distance. The freighter as well as the passenger ship has many important uses for the wire less and each and all should be so equipped not only for the importance of protection, but for the aid which it can thus be to others
