By Paul Villlers. Parlg. Feb. 1. M. Eugene Lau j tier, the distinguished "collabora i tor" of the well-known Paris paper' Le Figaro Is one of the few French Journalists who does not believe In the supposed war-like designs of Japan. "If Japan were getting ready for war, she would not be scattering her energies the way she does," he writes In a current number of tho paper. "She Is BimpI seeking an outlet for ber surplus population in neighboring and laying the foun dation of a commercial empire. "In Manchuria tho activity or Japan is Increasing every day. In the southern part where Russia has ceded the railroads Japan has dur ing the last few months established 39 new telegraph stations in spite of China's protests. Aroused by this the Russian government has declared that it intends to follow Japan's example in northern Manchuria." The United States will think twice before they begin a war with Japan, whose navy has been tried and found not wanting. They will not commit the mistake of consid ering the mikado's navy a quantlte negleble as did Russia, first because It would be wrong and second be cause It would be dangerous. Leopold In Trouble. King Leopold . of Belgium may find It hard to answer his subjects who are Inquiring of what right he is using the revenues of the Congo state to pay the expenses of his over-charging mistresses. Money wrested from the natives of the Congo is said to have paid for the castle which Leopold gave as a Christmas present to Baroness Vaughan. Mrs. George Jay Gould shows that histrionic talent has been by no means abated by her long absence from the stage.

The Impresario and chief com edian of the troupe began his dra matic career as showman of Arfo nettes at a popular theatre at Cat ania, and he put bo much expression, passion and pathos into these per formances that the famous tragedi an Bossl said to him one day; Throw all this rubbish into the fir and act yourself. Show what there is in you." Grasso, which is the leader's name, followed the advice so well meant,: chose a company and started in Cat ania. He was encouraged to go fur ther afield and visited Rome and at rising and going to bed they would not spoil them.

COLLEGE HEADS GIVENJpiNG Caspar Whitney Suggests That Presidents Follow Tucker and Dartmouth. OVER THREE YEARS IN SUBER DEEP German Wpit Asleep in June, 190, and Has Not Yet Awakened. Berlin, Feb. 1. Professor Eulenburg, tne eminent specialist In nervous dls eases, this afternoon gave a remark able description before the German Physiological association here of a gov ernment official named Arnhelm, who nas neen continuously asleep since June 19,, 1904. Th$ professor attributes Arnhelm's strange condition to a blow on the back or me head caused by a fall. Arn helm's medical attendants at that time were Unable to discover anv injury to the brain, but ten dava later ha foil asleep and he has been sleeping con tinuously ever since.

Grasso is the personification of unveiled "humanity." As great as himself and taking a large share in the reputation they have made, is his leading woman, Slgnora Miml Agualia, who is a su perb actress, reminding one of a Duse, but more of the people. The plays they present are mostly lovely and vigorous dramas of Sicilian chiv alry, full of laughter, anger, love, tears, voluptuousness, hatred, frenzy and violence. The Sicilian dramas made humid, as a French critic says, by the tears of Mlmi Agualia and brightened by the laughter of Giovanni Grasso, re flect in their intensity "the whole rainbow of human passions." Candy Beneficial. ( Paris physicians have come to the conclusion that sweets are not half! as bad as they are painted that is to say that candy, far from being so deleterious to the humanNjrganlsm, as some hold, is on the other hand, beneficial to the organism and acts as a kind of human fuel, helping to sustain the heat of a person's body. It was at a dinner of physicians. most of whom are also qualified as dentists, that a discussion arose on this subject and the decision was come to. One of them remarked that he always noticed a great in crease in cases of dental caroslty among children ln the holidays, ow ing to their over-indulgence In sweets. The practitioners all agreed, how erer, that except ln the case of per sons suffering from diabetes or dys pepsia, it is not. nearly" so harmful as Is generally supposed and that if people and' especially children took the. simple precaution ,of-washing the teeth three times a ay, especially Is lying on his back in bed. thn henri being slightly Inclined to the right mue. ine ioreneaa is wrinKlea as though the sleeper were disturbed by a bad dream.

Deafening noise made close to -his ears falls to rouse him, and dazzling lights turned on the eyes are likewise ineffectual. The sleeper is regularly fed. He slowly chews the food Placed In his I mouth, and swallows It Instinctively. During the last 43 months Arrheim has never once opened his eyes, spoken a syllable or even betrayed the least sign of consciousness. Sometimes Arnhelm's wife, who tends him incessantly with a patient care, re moves him from the bed, clothes him and places him In an armchair. In this position he presents an un canny appearance. He Is ghastly pale and motionless, and recalls a figure placed ln a natural position ln a wax work show to deceive naive visitors iniu me oenei inai u is a numan being. Professor Eulenburg considers a sud den awakening is still possible. Many medical experts have visited Arnhelm and watched the sleeper for long periods without coming to any definite conclu sion as to the cause of his long sleep. JEWS PLAN BOYCOTT FOR 0i PLAYS B'nai B'rith Favors Plan to Halt Caricaturing of Race on Stage. Amidst so much theorizing as what ought to be done to 'purify' college ath- j letlcs, it Is comforting to have one man actually do something. Every now and again some college faculty Incumbent mounts the rostrum and damns ath letics from A to Z. without giving a solitary practical suggestion or himself taking one helpful step toward u de sired end. President Tucker of Dartmouth, at the beginning of the 1907 football sea son, also ascended the rostrum.

"He said further that he considered college men who, during their vacation, played on summer resort or hotel base ball teams for their board and lodging, or for their laundry, or for any other form of return, direct or Indirect, were in fact bartering their athletic skill for pay, and by so doing ceased to be ! sportsmen and amateurs.
