JAP AND OVERSEAS CoNaUEsTs


 William H. Gardiner, in the Worlds 8
 Work.
 That the Japanese originally had no aversion to overseas conquest is shown by the attempt they made in t5s2 to land an army of 100000 men in Korea. But as Bywater points out in his Sea Power in the Pacific;' The leaders of the expedition had failed to grasp the first lesson Of naval strategy-that command of the sea is an essential prerequisite Of successful oversea invasion. And. ne adds, that the Japanese suffered stunning defeat at the hands of the Koreans is acknowledged by ali their historians"
 Not very long aftetr this defeat all foreigners were expelled from Japan, nc Japanese were permitted to leave the islands and. according to Latou- rettes "The Development of Japan 'The building of any vessels large enough for overseas traffic was in- terdicted. |. The land entered on more than two centuries of her. init life"
 In other words, while the vacant spaces of the earth still were in a state of Aux, while the forbears of the leading world powers of today were competing for the extensive opportunities recently discovered by their countrymen, Japan, having had overseas experience, chose of her own will to withdraw from the con test to forsake all opportunity to ex- pand her domains. Just as the fail tire of the sixteenth century Ger mans to colonize in America was q basic mistake that law at the root of modern German imperialism, so that deliberate decision of Japan, 300 years ago, to become a hermit was basic mistake that lies at the root of her recent moves.

COFFEE MARKET


 Nexv York. December 7.-The mar ket for coffee futures was higher to- day on indications that the recent big buyers of December contracts were not only giving that month con tinued support but were buying March and May at the discounts. The open ing was 2 points lower to points higher, late months being relatively easy owing to the unsettled ruling of Brazil, but prices soon firmed up on the support of the near positions and covering. December advanced to S.70c or within points of the high record established early last month, while March sold at S.64c, making new high ground for the movement. Closing prices were nearly the best of the day, showing net advances of s to 24 points. Sales were estimated at about 51, 900 bags. December s.69c; January S.64c; March S64c; May S.45c: July S.44c; September S.49c.

The New Madrid earthquake, which occurred in the middle Missis- sippi valley early in the nineteenth century. consisted of series ofnear- ly 1900 separate shocks extending over a period of some months. Eight of these were very severe and were felt more or less distinctly over the whole of the then settled parts of the United States. Occasionally after shocks have been experienced In the same region almost every year down to the present time.

blame Tommy for bringing his

Susie for leaving her dolls In the
dining room II they have no other
place to lay. them. II Is the moth
er's responsibility 20 provide some
room, corner or den which shall

The first requirement OF any day
nursery or playroom IL sufficient
light and air. The second is sani-
tary floors, walls and furnishings
which will stand the maximum OF
hard knocks and kicks with the
least amount OF cleaning on the part
Of some adult.
For the floor, try a good limo
leum in a dark shade or hardin
ished wood painted fairly dark.
Eliminate all rugs or limit them to
those which can be easily picked up
and clesnsed. Have the walls
painted in attractive tones Of tan,
sand, bright blue or shades which
will not show every finger.mark.
In spite of the rage for white
enamel, try oak or maple for the
table, furniture and chairs.
A bookcase OF book shelves are
indispensable; also some sort OF
closet In which to contain toys and
games. One mother used with
great success a kitchen cabinet, in
the upper part OF wich she put
books and in the bottom part OF
which she stored the toys.
A good old-fashioned kitchen
table cannot be excelled for hard
service aud all-around utility. There
is kind of table which has a COM
partment under the lid. which is
very convenient for the storage OF
all fiat games, etc. When my chill
dren were little ! found nothing
more serviceable than a shelf about
eighteen inches wide and about
three feet from the floor built
around two sides OF the room. This
furnished just the right surface on
which 10 run trains. build blocks
and to follow any other similar pur-
suits of which the child of four to
six is so fond.
Another excellent plan Is to use
the upper portion OF the walls as a
kind of "art exhibit" OF pictures,
cut-outs, pressed flowers, butter
flies and other treasures OF the
woods and fields. Many concerns
make a specially OF supplying beau.
tiful colored illustrations of famil-
lar fairy stories which may be used
as kind of frieze around the room.
Other drawings or kindergarten
work OF the child may be used In
this way. the idea being to let the
child see the value and use OF what
he himself has made.
Curtains may be entirely dis
pensed with, thus giving more light
and air. A narrow shelf across the
upper half OF the window on which
are potted plants. etc, bowl OF gold
fish or bird cage, are liked by those
who enjoy pets and living things
If the bookcases are built in, the
lower portion may be fitted with
