with the open corner to the lower
right, thus making it easy for the
guest to open the napkin. If the
napkin is of the luncheon variety
and folded triangularly it may be
placed with the open corner to the
left or right. If to the right, it fol-
lows the general rule for placing
napkins, but if to the left, with the
fold at right angles to the table
edge, a much more balanced look is
impaired to the cover.
Individual salt and pepper shakers
are placed close in to the plate; the
more people there are to share
pair of salt and pepper shakers, the
farther toward the center the pair is
placed. l suppose the reason is to
attract the attention of diners more
easily. Dishes of nuts, bonbons,
etc, may be placed on the table be-
fore the guests are seated, or with
any special course. They are To-
Gated somewhat toward the center
of the table, but not too far from
the reach of the people seated.
Dishes from which food is served

etc.-are placed near the person
who serves. 1t is good form at an
informal dinner to place the dish
containing second vegetable in
front of guest at the right or left
of the server and press the guest
into service This expedient is re-
sorted to if the space in front of the
server is too crowded to make room
for everything. .....r
1t may be added that to save room
at very crowded table the napkin
may be placed between the fork and
knife, providing the first course is
served after the guests are seated.
Another expedient is to place the
spoons above the plate parallel will,

considered very good form.

TREATY OF SHlMONOSEKI, 1895


The western nations woke up to the
fact that great power had appeared
I'm the East when In 1894 Japan de-
clared war on the vast empire of
China and speedily brought 1t TO Its
knees. The realization that naval
and military power Of the first class
had come into being on the western
shores OF the Pacific was not a pleas
ant one and caused great fiuttering
among the "chancelleries" Of Europe
md was not viewed without concern
In the United States.
II was because of her war with
China and her subsequent war with
Russia that Japan occupies the POSI-
ton she does today among the nations.
The treaty Of Shlmonoseki and the
treaty OF Portsmouth placed her
among the leading nations OF the
world. The war between China and
japan arose over the affairs of Korea.
In the olden days Korea had paid
tribute TO Japan and after the aboll-
tlon of the Shogunate In 1868 and the
coming OF the Mikado into his own,
repeated demands were made upon
the Koreans for continuation of this
tribute. Chinese and Japanese In
trigued nj the Korean court for the
predominatlng influence In the land OF

into land which knew no calm.
Japan Alleged lnfraetion.
In June of 1894 a Chinese army was
sent into Korea for the ostensible pur-
pose of putting down rebellion which
threatened the Korean king. Japan
declared this to be an infrnction or
the treaty between herself and China
made In 1885, and dispatched a Japan
csc army which occupied the Korean
capital and its port of Chemulpo, and
fortified the route connecting the two
cities. Somehow the rebellion dlsap-
peared, but the king OF Korea found
Chinese army and Japanese fac
ing each other In hostile gulse upon
his territory and asked them to with
draw-which they refused TO do, The
king appealed to the United States.

ed China and japan please 10 get OFT
of Korea. China said she was per
fectly willing to get out If Japan
would. Japan said she would not get
out until Korea had reformed her in
ternal affairs.
II was evident that Japan meant
war, and on July 8, 1894, England
proposed that the United States join
with her in an intervention TO prevent
the war. The United States refused
