INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS IN JAPAN.
The Japanese are quartered on a long,
narrow, very mountainous group of is
lands, having an area one-third larger
than the British isles, and about equal
to that of California, and about only 12
per cent is capable of cultivation. The
dense population of from 43,000,000 to
50,000,000, all dependent upon the pro
ducts of the field and the nearby waters,
carry on their outdoor work by many an
ancient method. Their struggle for ex
istence has not been an easy one. Yet
with all this they are contented and
happy for the struggle lias not been
characterized by the haste and intense
strain under which we labor. In this
respect they are wiser in their day and
generation than we are.
When considering Japan's progress it
is well to remember that there are at
least two viewpoints. One is the Jap
anese; and if we judge by their notions,
the advancement during the time occu
pied by the last half of Marquis Ito's
public life alone is little less than mar
veJous. This is the point of view per
sistently put forward by them and oft-
enest teen in newspapers. On the otiier
hand, from the outlook of a foreigner
who has lived in Japan and knows the
average as well as the exceptional con
ditions, they still have a long way to
go in their industriej and civilization to
atain the eminence they are popularly
given credit for having already reached.
Japan progresses. Her shipbuilding
progresses also. So do her other in
dustries. Were5 It possible, a hasty
glance along a few other lines of Jap
anese industry would be of interest as
showing in a general way the past and
existing conditions and the present state
of progress. This comparison of in
dustrial works should be given the rela
tive progress and position of shiubuild
ing as compared with the improvement
and present standing of other indus
trial enterprises. It would also em
phatically evidence the fact that Ja
pan's industrial growth has not been in
shipbuilding alone, but that her pro
gress has been along all lines and there
fore that shipbuilding has only been
keeping pace with the national progress.
We may only state that in coal, cop
per, gold and other mining she is us
ing up-to-date appliances with good re
nilts. In the matter of electric street
railways, her urban and interurban sys
tems are well equipped and well paying.
Her steam railroad have been extended
and improved, and the rolling stock
and shops are in good condition. The
postal system is a credit to the nation.
The telegraphs and telephones are efli
(inetly conducted at rate half or less
of what we must pay in this free coun
try. Cotton spinning and weaving mills
are succesfully run. Electric light and
power p'ant, operated some by steam
and some by water, are starting up in
all advantageous places. Gas plants are
being built and the large cities are al
ready supplied with excellent water
works. And so on through the whole
line of enterprises there is progress and
euccess.
in your work or in your environment or
in your personal habit, then you must
expect to take second place, to fall back
into the rear of the procession.
People who have accomplished work
worth while have had very high sense
of the way to do thing. They have
not been content with mediocrity. They
have not confined themselves to the
beaten tracks; they have never been
satisfied to do things jut as others do
them, but always a little better. They
alwavs pushed things that came to their
hands a little higher up, a little further
on. It is this little higher up, little fur
ther on, that counts in the quality of
life's work. It ia constant effort to be
first claa in everything one attempts
that conquers the heights of excellence.
Politics in Spain has reached that
point where Hhe wounding of eight party
leaders as they left a meeting is passed
almost without notice. Pehaps it will
be the leaders' turn to shot next.
The fraternity existing among law-
vert is sweet to behold. ' When one of
the craft claims a fc5,000 fee. getting
others to swear that it is just and rea
sonable is the least of his difficulties.
The name of the chauffeur could not
be learned," is the usual description of
the man who runs an automobile into
some one else. When this is no longer
true, shotguns will be less used by peo
ple who think they have some rights
to which they are still entitled while
in the public street.
HERO AND HIS CREW.
When the great ship had plunged be
neath the waves our hero found himself
in a lifeboat with seven of the crew.
"Now, men," he cried, "let us lose no
time in rigging a sail and heading away
from those breakers yonder."
Not a hand was moved.
"Come," said he to the nearest man,
"rig up some tackle yonder."
"I don't know how,' replied the man;
"I'm the barber."
"Well, then, you with the mustache."
"I am vairy sorree, but I am ze pas
try cook."
"Next man, then."
"What der I know about sailin,? I'm
der barkeep'."
Our hero turned toward the bow.
"You three sitting together, why
don't you get to work!"
"Ve vill blay muskk as you vish, but
ve know notting about der sails."
On the cap of the one man left our
hero saw the word "seaman."
"Ah! you at last," he exclaimed "can
direct us how to erect a sail."
"Guess again young fellow," came the
sad reply, "me only job wa to wash
the decks.
Despair settled on the boatload, but
once more our hero was equal to the
emergency. Attaching some line to a
Sew York life preserver he threw it ov
erboard as an anchor.
Thus firmly mored, the boat rode out
the storm in safety. Life.- "

THE WAY TO DO.
If there is that in your nature which
demand the best and will take noth
ing less, and you do not demoralize this
standard by the habit of deterioration
in everything yon do, you will achieve
distinction in some line if yon have
the persistence and determination to fol
low your ideal.
But if you are satisfied with the cheap
and shoddy, the botched and slovenly,
if you are not particular about quality

CAUSE ONE-THIRD OF
THE TOTAL DEATHS.
When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart
trouble, stomach trouble, sluggish liver and a host of other ills, all due to deranged Kidneys.
