JAPAN'S COMMERCIAL GROWTH
(Continued from Pag* V)
inf constructed, where only a short
half-century ago sampans and small
junks were the only craft thought 1
of,"
The present condition of Japan Is, I
In fact, as Mr. Stead assurese us,;
such as renders her one of the lead
ing Powers of the world. To quote
this writer's language:
"Not only has Japan become one of ;
the eight great Powers of the world,
but she has successfully demonstrat
ed that she Is the one great Power
which dominates Eastern Asia. The
wonderful force lying In Japan's
hands Is not even yet properly real
ised, and there are unknown poten
tialities of which the other nations
have not even a suspicion. But be
fore very long this nation, which la
able to think out problems as thor
oughly as any Oriental, and act upon
the result of the thought as energet
ically as any western race, will re
ceive its full recognition in every
branch of national life. The force
which Is jtoeessed by a people, effi
cient in every department of national
Itfe, and possessing the unique im
pulse of a sentient practical patriot
ism, and an individual public opin
ion is so unknown, so enormous, as
to defy measurement by any stand
ards possessed by the western world."
WHAT HE WENT AFTER.
The Office Boy Gave the Business Call
er Some Information.
The big trail In the city hall tower
had just banged forth the noon hour,
and the office buildings were emptying
throngs of workers Into the streets to
fill the lunchrooms.
In an elaborate office, seated in a
large chair, with his fget comfortably
resting on the edge of the manager's
desk, was Plugsy, the office boy of
Jauworth & Co., brokers, says Llppln
rott's Magnslue. Ills head was cocked
on one side, and with evident relish
he was puffing a huge cigar which bis
employer had ucglected to finish.
Suddenly the door opened, and Mr.
Whiff, s client of the firm, rushed In.
"Where's Mr. JnnworthT" be de
manded excitedly.
"What's that?" said Plugsy, slowly
removing the cigar from the far corner
of his mouth.
"1 want Mr. Janworth right away.
Whore Is heT' repented WhlfT.
Just them the bell of a tire engine
clanged below, and Plugsy lelsnrely
roes aud walked to the window.
"Gee,'' he said thoughtfully, "people
do git ekeered o' them fire carts, all
right, all right I" Turutng around, he
continued: "Boss ain't In. I'm runnla'
th' business just now. Want any quo
tations or"—
"No. you Idiot P* yelled tbe client
"Where has he gone—downstairs T"
"Yep."
"Will he be back after lunch?"
"Naw." yawned the future firm;
"that's what he wont out after."
EYESTONES.
Meat Genuine Specimens Found In the
Province of Astrakhan.
Tbe collection of eyoatonee is a
dying Industry. In New York the prin
cipal sourcee of supply are sailors who
touch the Baltic sea. and, ns might be
Imagined, the supply Is precarious.
Byeatonea are analogous in some re
spects to bosonrs, as they are a con
cretion found In the stomach of the
European crawfish. Most of the genu
ine eyeetones, era be' e.vee, era I* tones
or Lspllll cancrorum. are procured tn
the province of Astrakhan, in Euro
pean Russia.
There appears to be some confusion
rsgerdtng the nature of the eyestone,
for some authorities apeak of It as a
concretion in the stomach of a certain
crab and others as of a peculiar shell
formation which la separated from the
crab at the time It sheds Its shell.
The so called crab's eyes are found
fully dsvelo|ied at the end of summer,
an the crabs begin to shed thetr shells
It is noted that these concretions are
absorbed into tbe stomach of the crab
during tbe shedding season and there
pulverised and absorbed, tbe dissolved
calcareous substance being used, it Is
supposed, for the formatlou of a new
•hell. When these calcareous shells
are not normally developed and ab
sorbed It Is observed that the shedding
process Is interrupted, aud the crab
dies an early death.—American Drug

Tare Remarkable Recoveries.
A bride at whoae wedding I bad been
beet mau lost her guard ring on bar
honeymoon on the Scarborough rocks.
She and ber bridegroom spent boors la
vain search for it. A year later, while
Bitting ou tbe same rocks, she said to
ber hu..bead. "Why. thin is tbe very
■pot where we sat together last year
wbeu 1 lost my ring." "Thera it isr
be cried in answer, seeing It at the bot
tom of a little pool tn tbe rocks, where
It bad been washed by a year's tide.
A tody lost a ring on the under
ground, but did not discover ber loss
until some time after sbe bad toft tha
station. When she returned to report
tbe loss an inner circle train entered
the station, aud on the step of one of
the carriages the ring was found. It
was the carriage In which she trav
eled. which bad just completed tike

THE GRASS FENCE.
Thrilling Incident of the Battle of
Bunker Hill.
Tbe battle of BuLkcr Hill gave tbe
occasion for many deeds of valor, and
Since that day we bold a list of names
illuminated In our memory. One of
these names belongs to tbe Kulgiu of
Derryfield. Do you remember who be
was, and can you recall the sung of his
bravery? Bead of It once more mil
have Impressed agnbi ou your !i> irl
the Implicit obedience and perfect
courage of the New Hiim|isblre fnrni
ers and their captain, John Moor.
When the forty-five men of tbe Hide
town of Derryfield, N. II.. left their
homes to fight for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever lei by n
braver man than their lieloved Captain
Moor. His courage had Inspired many
of them In tbe French and Indian war.
Bo, eagerly, when the alarm came in
1790 they marched with lilm and bis
drummer boy son to Cambridge, where
be was entered a captain In Btnrk's
regiment
And now comes the battle of Bunker
Ef111. Behind a fence, piled thick with
grass, Captain Moor's company lay ns
still as death. An order had come from
Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be
fired until the British passed a stake
that was driven a short distance away.
With perfect confidence In themselves
and their captain, the furmers waited
—waited motionless while thut beauti
ful, death dealing pugeant of British
warriors swept grandly toward them.
With the coolness and wonderful pre
cision of a dress parade the old world
came to meet tbe new, the grenadiers
and light Infantry marching in single
file twelve feet npart, the artillery ad
vanclng more slowly and thundering
out an Insolent defiance to the con
celted little Kiwis, while on each side
five battalions formed an oblique Hue
to the fence breastworks. The very
flower of the English army, full blos
somed In learned maneuvers, resplen
dent tn shining arms and wnvlng ban
ners, advanced to meet a little group of
men untrained tn tactics of warfare,
only half armed, clad In homespun,
biding behind a breastwork of grass.
Tbe dead line was crossed. Bang!
Bang! Bang! The little rebels were
awake at last. Now, not the stifke,
but a line of fallen bodies marked tbe
dead line. Thunder and lightning
belched forth from that breastwork.
A fire, Intense, steady, killing, and the
brave march of the Britishers was
checked. A alight recoil, and tbe offl
cers, dashing up. again urged the line
forward. Not for one moment did the
grass fence pease Its voice of fire and
shot. One by one the brave grenadiers
and their dashing, gallant officers fell
to the earth. Tbe ranks broke and the
proud host fled liefore tbe meager
handful of New Hampshire men. Ah,
if we could only have had grass breast
works and Captain John Moor all
•long the American line!—C. F. Harri
son In Atlanta Constitution.
A Philanthropist.
An earnest east side worker says
that not long ago she was approached
by an old gentleman who haa tbe rep
utation of being something of a philan
thropist with the request that he be
permitted to accompany her on one of
bar rounds of visits. Much pleased,
the worker consented. The destitute
condition in which mail# families were
found elicited expressions of deep sym
pathy from the old gentleman, but to
his companion's surprise and regret
nothing more material. Presently they
come upon a small gtrl weeping bit
terly.
"What to It my dear?" the old gen
tleman Inquired.
The child raised a tear atalned face
and pointed Into a dark alleyway. "Me
mudder seut me to buy some bread,
an' I lost my dime In there, nn' I'll git
licked awfnl!" she sobbed.
"Poor dear!" he remarked in a tender
voice, at the same time putting his
hand Into his vest |>ocket "Don't cry.
Here to a match. Perhaps you will be
able to And it!"—Harper's.
Misled by Stationery.
"I wrote a note to my waaherwoman
about a week or two ago asking her
please to bring my clothes home." said
the woman. "I needed them. I hap

" Tvs a great notion to discharge
