As for th olie question, we have to learn that there are coolies outside of Asia, and we will dignify our policy by equality of cers upon the theor [ u ry I ) and treatment, accorded impartially to the people of all nations. We are big enough and just enough to do this. When we do it, the last impediment to our large participation in the trade of China will be removed RUSSIAN EFFORTS FOR FREEDOM. HE Russian, Vladimir G. Simkhovitch, who is a lecturer on the history of his country in Columbia University, gives us in an account of that secret force, terrorism, ¥ a recent review which shows what a fluctuating and unknown quantity it is in the| combination of influences that will determine Russia’s future. Ter- rorism is such a widely different proposition in Russia from what it would be in our country that a knowledge of Russian conditions is necessary before we can understand it at all. The difference is almost as great as that between murder and homicide done in self- defense. However much we may believe the methods of terrorism to be a mistake even in Russia, we must admit that some of the ter- | rorists act under the sway of noble impulses and are framed of the stuff of which martyrs are made. It is plain that this Russian savant who holds a responsible place in one of our great universities does not look upon the higher types of the terrerists of his country with any such horror as is in our feelings toward an assassin. Indeed, the gitk Vera Zassulitch, who killed General Trepoff, is almost glorified by the courageous act she did for love of country and in proud discain of consequence. The jury who acquitted her are believed to have given the verdict of intellectual and patriotic Russia. Russian society, Russian public opinion, is pronounced morally responsible for the deeds of those terrorists who have taken justice in their own hands. Turgenieff, a great man and one of the foremost of novelists, wrote a prose poem about the self-abnegation of such an act. The girl is at the thres- hold of her deed. A voice, heard only by her, reasons with her— asking if she knows what awaits. “Cold, hunger, hatred, derision, contempt, insults, prison, suffering, even death?” The girl replies, “] know it.” The voice said, “Enter, then,” and she crossed the threshold. The power of the terrorists waxes and wanes with the amount of justification they have for their acts. The society numbers about half a million, but there are vast multitudes more who sym- pathize with them when they do away with such a man as Trepoff, but who condemn them when they make such a mistake as was the killing of the Emperor Alexander II. That deed of Czar killing cost them a long setback from the power of influencing Russian thought. At the present time their prestige is 1eviving Their in- genious argument of the right of tempering despotism by assassina- tion is gaining ground. “After the St. Petersburg massacre of the 22d of January thousands of the stanchest and most cool-headed ‘law and order men became terrorists.” J the Department of Finance, makes not only a showing of rapid incréase in prosperity, but the remarkable one that the war has been a stimulus rather than a hindrance to economic improve- ment. On the subject of the budget for' the extraordinary expenses of the war the report says: “We have in fact evidence from every direction that the heavy burden imposed by war has not in the least degree impaired the economic development of the nation.” Last year the foreign trade was more prosperous than ever. Deposits made in banks and postoffice savings banks are the biggest cver at- tained. Economically the nation has not suffered from those evil cffects which usually appear in time of war. i In arranging for the burdens of war the Government has levied special taxes with the result that local taxes have been actually re- duced. The nation is paying taxes more promptly than in time of peace, and the people seem to have plenty of capital at their dis- posal, as is evidenced by the increased bank deposits of savings. The municipal authorities have economized in local expenditure by post- poaing the comparatively less important of the various public un- dertakings. One of the striking indications of Japanese prosperity is that the exports of raw materials have fallen off to be replaced by mruch larger exports of manufactured articles, thus showing the development of her industries. Since Japan began to be victorious in her struggle with Russia her trade with Korea and China has jumped to a much greater volume. The whole report has the strength of assured confidence, and certainly those who have loaned money to Japan, of whom many are Americans, need not be alarmed about their investment.

Thereupon the Martians | sathered about it, took the occupant from | his ship and removed the patented air- | supplier from his nose.

Then the Oldest Martian Settler addressed him: “Well, can we establish communication with the earth?” the settler asked. “Sure! But you can bet your sweet life we don’t want to.” “Why not?” “Just wait till T get a little unmanu- factured air and I'll tell you all about it."” | The distinguished traveler took several | gulps of Martian atmosphere, and then | continued: ‘When I arrived in the great earth city of Boschisanyorkadelphia an elec- tion was not far distant.

Some men make fools of themselves often.

L — 1 Assouan Dam in Danger CRLEAT S OME engineers in New York who Shava watched with interest the enormous project of damming the mighty Nile at Assouan, Egypt, are re- celving reports from time to time which convince them that the danger of the destruction of the dam is in- creasing rather than diminishing, as the British engineers would have the world believe. When it was discovered that the dam was not high enough to furnish the water necessary for irrigat- ing the entire area which was to have been made fertile by it the proposal was made that the dam be raised. This has been vetoed by the engineers and they are now devoting their energies to protecting the bed of the river with a cement floor to prevent the water from eating under and toppling over the great pile of masonry which con- fines the river, says the New York Tribune. All prospect of raising the dam has been abandoned for at least two years, according to a statement made by Sir Benjamin Baker, consulting engineer, who recently returned to London from an inspection of the dam. It will take this long to complete the pavement svhich is being thrown across the river to protect the dam. Sir Benjamin de- clares that this delay will be good for Egypt, as it will stop speculating in land. BREAK WOULD BE DISASTROUS. Perhaps no one in New York is more familiar with Egyptian irrigation pro- jects, including the Assouan dam, than F. Cope Whitehouse, who lives at the Park Avenue Hotel when not in New- port. He has studied the Bgyptian situation for the last ten years and has made discoveries by personal explora- tion that have attracted the: attention of the British Department of Public ‘Works. “While there is no immediate danger of a break in the dam at Assouan, the situation 1is rapidly becoming more grave,” said Mr. Whitehouse to & Tribune reporter a few days ago. “Bris- ish engineering authorities are sending out comforting bulletins to the effect that nothing has occurred at Assouan which has not been expected. Yet the very facts that they are taking most expensive steps to protect the dam and have given up the project of ralsing it in order to increase the amount of storage and enable the dam to irrigate the district which the specifications promised are sufficient cause for alarm. One must consider that the breaking away of the dam would be an inter- national calamity such as modern dis- tory does not record and would cause the sweeping of everything in the Nile Valley to Cairo and the sea. INFLATED PRICES FOR LAND. “The Nile rises about the first week in July, after the monsoon occurs in India and when the rain is falling over the whole of Central Africa. A dam could not be built which could hold back this flood, which amounts to 1,000,000,000 tons a day. At this period at Assouan the sluices in the dam are opened and the water rushes through them at a rate of forty miles an hour. There are 140 of these sluices, seven feet wide and twenty-two feet high, in the dam. They are at different levels, and by November, when the Nile has fallen sufficiently, some of the lower ones are shut off and the water grad- ually rises behind the dam and backs off. The distance covered by the back- water is 150 miles, or, say, the distance from New York to Albany. Its great- est depth is eighty feet. “About this time last year it became known in Egypt that the project of raising the dam 19 feet 6 inches, as ap- proved by Sir Benjamin Baker and rec- ommended by Sir W. Garstin, adviser to the Public Works Ministry, could not be carried out. This, however, was not announced until March of this year. So far the public seems scarcely to realize the situation with which Egypt is now confronted. There is a vast acreage of land awaiting reclamation which was purchased on the strength of promises made by British engineers at highly inflated prices. WATER’S TERRIFIC FORCE. “It appears that the dam is being gradually weakened by the force of the water passing through the sluices, and, according to the new theory of the stress to which masonry dams are subjected, advanced by Professor Karl Pearson, it is liable to tilt over and a vertical crack develop. Then, again, the bed of the Nile is being eroded by .| the sluices, great holes being torn by the force of the water. If this mis- chief be left unchecked the holes will extend to the base of the dam itself and may eventually undermine the structure. for this reason a masonry floor is being laid. This is a most dif- ficult operation owing to the power of the water. In one instance where a block was not properly laid the water found its way in and moved a piece of masonry weighing seventy-five tons. It even carried this enormous weight a considerable distance.” Mr. Whitehouse is still at work on his project to fill the depression which he discovered in the desert seventy miles south of Cairo, and make a lake of 250,000 square miles. This lake would furnish an escape for the dangerous 10 per cent of the Nile flood, which from time to time has caused appalling losses of life and property, and would serve to irrigate an enormous district.

It is, consequently, with all the more distaste that he is forced to listen to the jokes that his friends are now making concerning his latest exploit. A few days ago a well-dressed stranger rushed into his office and sank into a chair. “Doctor,” he gasped, “I'm afraid— I was struck—I don’t know but what—" “‘What's the trouble?” asked the physi- cian, as the man’s voice trailed off into silence. The stranger put his hands to his side. He made several ineffectual ef- forts to speak before he said: ‘“‘An auto- mobile struck me.” “Possible internal injuries, doctor. N He set about making an examination of the patient at once. It was hurried, but it was thorough. He could discover posi- tively no evidence of any injury done the man, but he thought it very possible that some very serious complication might arise from the pains of which his patient complained. “It might be the very best course for you to go to one of the hospitals,” he told the stranger. The ether dissented. ““1 have an important business deal on in Los Angeles,” he said, “one that I must go there to attend to at once. As soon as 1 come back I shall come to you again I and then, if you think it necessary, I shall go in.” The doctor thought that this might be unwise. “It is difficult to tell just how | you may be hurt,” he demurred, ‘‘but, as well as T can judge now, you are all right, except for the nervousness.” “I am so relieved,” said the stranger, wringing the hand of the physician grate- fully. “Now, doctor, what is your charge?” Dr. Laner stated that it was $3 for the examination. ‘AN right, sir,” said the patient, promptly. He put his hand down in the pockets and withdrew a handful of small | change. A $5 gold piece glittered in the collection. He looked at it carefully. “I don’t like to part with that,” he said, re- gretfully. “It's my luck. Let's see if I haven’t something else with me.” From his vest pocket he produced a wal- [ * thought the e e el .4“Om, Not at AIL® (SRR T let.

The stranger went with a promise to return as soon as he had accomplished his important business deal. The check has been returned to Dr. Laner from the bank. No such person as his patient ever | had an account there. And Dr. Laner’s only satisfaction is in the knowledge that five other physicians of his acqualntance have had the same experience with the same stranger. They thik that if he works it systematically he will soon have acquired enough money to purchase an automobile that he may rur into himseit to add to the realism of his story. Atmosphere of Failure. HAT would you think of a young man, ambitious to become 2 Wlnwyer, who should surround himself with a medical atmosphere and spend his time reading medical books? asks O. S. Marden, In Success. Do you think he would ever become a great lawyer by following such a course? No, he must put himself into a law atmosphere, where he can absorb it and be steeped in it until he is attuned to the legal note. He must be grafted into the legal tree so that he can feel its sap circulat- ing through him. How long would it take a young man to become successful who puts himself into an atmosphere of failure and remains in it until he is soaked to saturation with the idea? How long would it take a man who de- preciates himself, talks of failure, thinks of failure, walks like a failure and dresses like a failure—who is always complaining of the insurmount- able difficulties in his way, and whose every step is on the road to failure— how long wopld it take him to arrive at the success goal? Would any one believe in himd or expect him to win? The majority of fallures began to deteriorate by doubting or depreciat- ing themselves, or by losing confidence in their own ability. The moment you harbor doubt and begin to lose faith in yourself, you capitulate to the enemy. Every time you acknowledge weakness, inefficiency or lack of ability you weaken your self-confidence, and that is to undermine the very foundation of all achievement. So long as you carry around a failure atmosphere and radiate doubt and discouragement, you will be a failure. Turn about face, cut off all the currents of failure thoughts, of discouraged thoughts. Boldly face your goal with a stout heart and a determined endeavor, and you will ind things will change for you; but you must see a new world before you can live in it. It is to what you see, to what you belleve, to what you struggle inces- santly to attain, that you will approximate. Questions Hard to Answer. e AN you understand— Why a man who has to pay his wife's dressmaking and cleaning bills will sit in a street car wtih one foot across his knee, so that every woman who passes him must brush her frock against the dirty sole of his shoe? Why any woman who has ever watched a newsboy or an Italian pea- nut vendor make change will slip a dime or a nickel into her mouth while she is using both hands to investigate her purse or bag? ‘Why a man who, in bearing and dress, is to all intents a gentleman, can sit In a crowded street car with a half cold or smoldering cigar in his hand until the odor from that stub will sicken all the women and most of the men in his vicinity? ‘Why a pretty girl who talks in'a loud voice in public places imagines that all men who are watching her furtively or openly are lost in admira- tion? Why a man in a crowded street car would rather open and shut the front door for twenty women than move down two feet and hang on a strap? Why a woman will walk seven blocks to save two cents a yard on a plece of silk and then fail to observe that the butcher is holding out the bones and trimmings of héer Sunday roast, and the ice man is occasionally adding an extra five cents to his bill? Why a man will dodge trolleys, drays and policemen in a mad rush to reach his office and then line up with messenger boys, tour! and other men, presumably as busy as himself, to watch a fire company turn a stream of water on a two-penny blaze? Why a woman will rush recklessly in front of a moving trolley car to | greet a friend, and then threaten to sue the motor company because its man almost ran her down? Why the clerk of whom you earnestly desire to buy goods would rather hear about “Mame’s new mohair skirt” than display her employer’'s stock?— Philadelphia Inquirer. Anszers to Queries.

These qualities were specially noted by the guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Foster, who accompanied the party about the bay and up to the sacred groves of Bohemia, where Joy and Good Cheer reign and Care® entereth not. The sublime beauty of the grove with its hoary redwoods made a deep im- pression upon the fair guest of honor —as indeed upon all who were lucky enough to be on the guest list—and she found free expression for her joy at seeing the splendid monarchs of the forest. To-morrow the suburban trains will bear hosts of society folk homeward for the big affair of the evening.
