THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

The secretary of state has at last replied to the
of the Japanese government of August Is, 1913
The terms this greatly delayed reply not yet
known. They will be published simultaneously in
this country and in Japan. But whatever the note
may contain, it is not expected that it will be any
satisfactory to the Japanese than was Mr..
Bryans pitifully weak lament that he unable to
eoerce California to surrender its sovereign rights
Mr. Bryan to fear to face the question
squarey and to let the Japanese know that it is one
of purely domestic policy; that the American people
the sole judges of what elements they desire
within their borders 1t has even been rumored that
secretary of state contemplates submitting the
whole thing to The Hague
There would be nothing surprising in this intention
after it found wise and patriotic to submit to
arbitration Huerta's insult to the flag The policy
atfWashngton seems to be ANY means good
enough that will get out of disagreeabe situation

CHANGING ITS SPOTS

At his home in Chesapeake Bay,
near Baltimore, w. Frank Leedy. for
merly of this city, is spending part
of his time raising chickens.
One old hen, according to a letter
received by local relations, seemed to
take a great dislike to little black
peep that had a small white spot on
top of its head. The antipathy took
such an aggravated form that the old
biddy followed the chick about the
yard trying to peck the spot off its
head.

time" writes the chicken fancier,

scheme. With shoe polish I blackened

Harriet Grote, the celebrated wife
of the English historian, George
Grote, was born the last day of June,
1892. AS a young woman she was
high spirited and brilliant, and alto
gether charming. When she was
twenty two, George Grote, then a
young man of twenty, first met her
and in short order fell very sincerely
in love with her. There was dis
appointed rival in the case, however,
Peter IGlmsley, who later became a
famous scientist, who did all he could
to prevent Harriet and her youthful
admirer from becoming engaged.
Elmsley falsely told Grote that Har-
riet was already engaged to another,
and Grote. thinking that she had been
trifiing with his affections, was cast
in the depths of despair. In this frame
of mind he made a solemn pledge to
his father that he would never think
Of marrying without full parental
consent and advice. SO when two
years later he met the charming Har-
riet again and again fell under the
spell of her fascination and through
a mutual explanation discovered the

The Clock Of Clocks

Although there is no perfect clock,
the one that nearest approaches per-
lection in this country, the STANDARD
clock of the United States, is kept in
glass case in dark underground
vault in the Naval Observatory in
Washington. 1t is SO placed that no
changes in temperature may affect it.
and it is wound half-hourly by
means of electricity. Scientific officers
of the government. regularly detailed
for the duty, watch over it day and
night. constantly correcting it by OBJ
servations made from the sun and
stars.
Thus this clock, though of itself 1t
does not keep time with the sun and
stars and the earth, is made so ac-
curate that even the scientists, who
say that there is no clock in the
world that is perfect, call it's time
correct" Strictly speaking, we are
assured, the only thing that does keep
perfect time is the earth, changelessly
rotating through space. But mathe-
maticians and astronomers concede

that the time of the big clock inside
the glass case comes near enough"
That means within some thousandths
of a second.
1t is this almost perfect clock that
sets the standard of this country.
The Enclosure in which. it stands in,
the observatory at Washington. is
surrounded by three walls with
spaces between. 1t rests on massive
stone pillars that reach far into the
earth. The temperature is so main
tanned that, should a human being
step into the room, the increase in
temperature occasioned by this in
trusion would be registered on Their
mostat of almost incredible delicacy.
The corrections continually being
made in this clocks time by reason
of the astronomical observations are
seldom more than 10-100 of second.
They are frequently less than 5-100.

which is in duplicate, wires pass to
two time-sendlng clocks in another
room of the observatory. 1t is through
these that time passes out to the

A noted Russian writer describes a
magic tree which bore three apples,
red, white and yellow, upon the eat
ing of one of which the persons
chief wish on ambition would be
granted.
a certain magician was set guard
over this tree and he told the first
youth who came to seek aid about
these magic apples. The red apple,
he said, would fulfill an ambition for
great riches; the white would salts
fly the thirst for knowledge and wis
dom. and the yellow apple you'll
make one agreeable and popular.
After considering a long time, the
youth reflected thus: If l should eat
the red apple and become richer than
other men, they would only envy me,
but not love me. il | should eat the
white apple / would become so much
wiser than those about me that life
would only bring disappointment and
disgust, | therefore choose the yellow
apple.
The toothless old magician laughed
and said "Oh. youth, you have
chosen wisely; for whv should you
need the white apple; your choice
has already shown that you are wiser
than Solomon. and the red apple
could do nothing, for if you are 50
agreeable and popular that every
body loves you. they will all envy you
your real wealth."
The author tells us that this youth
finally became the great and illustri-
Gus Djaffar.
How true it is that no material
wealth can compare in value with n
rich personality. IT is infinitely more
desirable to be loved and admired
without wealth than to be disliked
and envied with it.
What is the use of wealth il we
have mean, stingy, narrow souls, con-
tracted, repellent personalities? The
youth who chooses and eats the
yellow apple of agreeability also gets

/ the advantages of the red and the
white apples because one must be
intelligent and wise to be agreeable
and to be loved is to be rich indeed.
The development of a fine per-
sonality, with our natures cultured
and sWeetened, so that we can go
through life beloved and sought after
and honored, is a wealth worth while.
If people who think they are un-
popular and lack the agreeable make
up, will only resolve that from now
on they will try to master the art
of making friends, the art of being
agreeable at any cost, at any sacri7s
flee of time and effort, they will ac-'
! complish it.
There is no great secret after all in
the power to attract to please. Just
analyze an attractive personality and
you find him dominated by certain
qualities, all of which are cultivate
BILE. There is not one of them that it
is not possible to acquire.
If you are unpopular and people
shun you do not care to be with you,
and try TO get away from you as soon
as possible, depend upon 1t, 1t is he
cause you radiate ENJOYABLE qualities.
Get rid of your seltishness. Enter
heart and soul into the things that
interest others. Try to make them
happy. Determine that they shall
like you. Get rid of all timidity, the
disposition to shrink from people, te
get out of sight. Fling away the
foolish idea that everybody is watch
ing you and wondering what you will
do next.
You can quickly attract people,
when you learn to be natural, to be
yourself, not anybody else.
If you radiate brightness, good
cheer, If you are generous, magnan-
imous, cordial to everybody, if you
try to interest yourself in others. II,
you are sympathetic, transparency
open-hearted and sincere, you cam
not fail to attract others. for every
body ad1nires these qualities.

Harriet. For several years more the
matter dragged on. Sometimes when

Cost of Killing in War.

From the San Francisco Star.
The cost of killing in modern war
fare is rather high bout $4,000 to
kill a man. In the Boer war it cost
$4,000 to kill a man. and in the
Balkan war it cost $4,000 to kill a
man. In the canal zone Colonel
Gorgas spent $245 to save a life.
Sanitation in the canal zone cost only
per cent. of the expense of building
the canal. 1t is cheaper save life
than to destroy It, Colonel Gorgas
saved 6,130 lives by spending the aver
age cost of killing one man in war
$4,000. The average cost of killing
$3.50 men in war is $50 $50 900. And
after they are killed there are no
assets to show for the money spent.
