Whothor wo look to the dockyards which Japan has built for tho making and ropalrlug of her own floor, to her strenuous maintenance of her own agrlculturo and Industry or to her self reliant retention of tho llnancial re sponsibility for her own undertakings, wo And roveojed tho samo determina tion to stand Independent and self contained. It Is a patroltlsm so com prehensive that It can stoop without loss of dignity to tho consideration of tho minutest detail and It holds tho secret of tho groat future which scorns to bo opening up beforo tho youngest of tho nations. Why go abroad for Uio purpose of making geographical discoveries? As wo havo recently been reminded, New foundland nnd Labrador have numer ous socrets yet to yield, and at tho other sldo of tho continent there Is work enough to keep many an ex ploror busy. A Roman Catholic mis Hlonary In British Columbia, who has mado many canoe journeys In tho up per basin of tho Nechaco tlver, has brought back much Information new to chartographors, for ho has discov ered, among other natural wonders, an unmapped lake fifty miles long. Tho missionary, Father Morlco, galna tho sentimental reward of dlscovorlcs, In that tho lako will bear his name, and the practical ndvantago of making discoveries in British Columbia, whore they aro likely to be useful to peoplo now on earth. Mjv Oarnegio, In announcing his ten-million-dollar pension fund for aged professors, referred to teaching nn ''tfca least rewarded of all the profewlorw." Thlj charge is often made and seldom denied. Tho truth of It has long been a national reproach, Tho ministry, al so, is underpaid as much, perhaps, as teaching but the minister is never placed in quite the samo light as oth er men. He Is held, and usually with Justice, to bo one who lias regarded only tho voice of coirsclenco or tho dlvlno call In choosing his life work. Wo In America are fond of comparing our wages and our salaries with thoso of men doing similar work In Euro pean countries, and In most occupa tions tho comparison Is to our advan tage. In teaching It is not so. Ger many In particular, although a country of low wages, pays her professors on the wholo moro than Americans re ceive for doing tho samo work. Mr. Carnegie's splendid gift was made not moroly wltli a view to doing Justlco to an illpald class, but for tho patriotic purpose of averting a national danger: tho lowering of tlio standard among collego professors, and thercforo poorer equipment on the part of the educated youth. To mako euro the future of tho superannuated teacher is a gain In many ways. Tho lovo of knowlcdgo and tho desire to Impart It Is a passion with certain men. They will gladly glvo their lives to It If they can, but when they must not only llvo during tho present, but also mako provision for their old age, they aro compelled to forego original research, and de v.oto themselves to "pot-nolllng" work. Tho pension fund will permit the re tirement of professors who havo lost their teaching power, and the substi tution of younger men when tho work to bo done requires it; and it gives new dignity and recognition to a pro fession which needs tho biggest and the best men In tho country. What can the West lonru from tho East? Anything? The questlou would have had easy answer beforo tho Uubs Japanese war opened Western eyes. Wo had supposed that because wo had taught tho Japanese all they know re specting modern science and Invention these "imitators" had nothing worth our especial study. Wo have discov ered that they can teach us some things in tho realm of spirit. For In stance: Our pert paragraphers have long poked fun at tho so-called "an cestor worship" of tho Japanese. Wo havo had small understanding of what that "worship" means. It Is not mere worship of ancestors. It Is worship of tho race. It comprehends posterity as well as ancestry. It Is recognition of tho solidarity of tho race. Westerners run to Individualism. They are selfish even in their altruism. They laugh at tho thought of any veneration of their grandfathers or any -worry over tho generations of tho future. Tho Japanese, on the other hand, havo so cultivated tho spirit of raco patriotism that they deem It the greatest glory lo venorato tho heritage of tho fathors and to die, If need 'be, for tho good of tho coming generations. Such altru ism Is almost inconceivable to the Western mind. But tho Westernein understand tho practical out-wor'Llng of such a spirit, no can appreciate tho value of such Ideals when they aro written out In groat victories on land and sea. Lot us learn tho lesson. Be- causo of our Intense Individualism sol flshncss and graft permeate our so clety. Tho heroisms of tho past fall to movo us. Wo do despite to tho Bplrlt of tho fathers. Wo caro little for tho generations to come. Lot them take care of themselves I We must llvo In tho present. We must have and. hold. May wo not take a llttlo to heart tho gentle but sublime devotion of tho llttlo brown people to the lega cles of tho past and their ambition to perish, If necessary, for the good of tho ages to come?

"Though I don't know that It counts for much," sho said at last "Some of yours, no doubt, aro cleverer than any ouo of mine." "But I have no dogs," said Sir Henry, bewildered. "Oh, Avell, I mean thoso you'vo writ ten about," said tho young woman, quickly. "But I've never written about any," said Sir Honry. "You haven't!" exclaimed tho young woman.

AT LIBERTY TO STARVE Collier's for September 10 under- akes to sho how fur our ideas and Ideals respecting liberty have been Ustorted by saying: Lincoln said of slavery that a D'ack woman might not in some ways bo his equal, but that in tho eight to cat the focd her own nands aud earned she was the equal of Himself, Judyo Douglas, or any man. Economic Independence Is thn basis )f ovory kind of lluorty that has tvorth. It was over an unjust tax hat the colonics went to war.' United States politicians are now ingagod in talking about when the Filipinos aro to havo self-govern- nent. The Filipinos themselves aro nore interested In knowing when ilio United States will stop taking iway tbolr power td make a living, rhe Filipinos in 1007 are to have 3ho right to express their opinions n an assembly, those opinions to be icceptad or rejected by the Amerl :an officials as those Americans may jhooso: which is nice and generous ind pretty, but not quite so Impor- ant as the repeal of laws which steal lood from our poverty-stricken victims to put it into the distended Dellies of domestic trusts. Ooe Jib- rty with which the Filipinos can lisponso Is liberty to starve. HONEST PHYSICIAN WorkH with Himself First. It Is a mistake to assume that phy sicians aro always skeptical as to the curative nronertles of anything else than drugs. Indeed, tho best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from California to tell how ho made a well man of himself with Na ture's remedy: "Beforo I came from Europe, where I was born," he says, "It was my custom to tako coffee with milk (cafe iu lalt) wltli my morning meai, u small cup (cafe nolr) after my dinner tnd two or three additional cups at my :lub during tho evening. "In time nervous symptoms devel oped, with pains in tho cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency In brief, 'the blues!' I at first tried medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that all my troubles wero caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forthwith, sub stituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but In time tho old distressing symp toms returned, and I quit It also, and tried to use milk for my table bever age This I was compelled, however, to abandon speedily, for while it re lieved the nervousness somewhat, it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try tho Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use It. I am no longer nervous, nor do I suffer from the pains about tho heart, whllo my 'blues' havo left mo and life Is bright to me onco more. I know that leaving off coffee nnd uslug Postum healed me, nnd I mnke It a rule to advise my pa tienta to use it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, There's a reasou. Corn Acrengc.

"In tho lead mines I was at work on my Ances with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of cold," Bald Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jackson nveuuo, Dubuque, Iown, in de scribing his experience to n reportor, "and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For threo years I had nttacks affecting tho joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My nuklos aud leueos beenmo so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground nnd a little pressure from n stouo uudor my feet would cause mo so much pain that would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lio in bed for several days at a time. My frionds who wore similarly troubled wero getting no relief from doctors and I did not fool encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Kliuier Manufacturing Co., of Dnbuquo, who hnd a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Palo People, tho remedy ho had used. Iu throo or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in threo months I whs well. Tho swelling of tho joints and the tenderness disiippoarod, I could work steadily and for eight years I havo hnd no return of the trouble. My wholo family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons uso them. Wo consider them a household remedy that we are suro about." What Dr.Willhuiis Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through tho veins, pure, strong, rich, rod blood that strikes straight nt the cause of all 111 health. Tho new blood restores regularity, aud braces all the organs for their special tnskR.
