PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
Within JO years just pnbxed ia the
liislory of Japan, the self-erected
barrier! tit centuries gone were
broken down by the ullicial itil of
Commodore lVrry, uf the I'uited
ijtateb Lavy.
Thcu following for a period of 20
years, intercourse was grudgingly
permit ti J by the Japanese govern
ment, until ut last the spirit of com
mercialism uiul udvaucciueiit had its
liirth in the brains of these clever
people and now, ut the present time,
ihey are a recognised force und pow
er with the so-called civilized nations.
AY hen it is considered that within
the last 25 years these people have
overcomi the customs anil traditions
ut centuries their rise is among the
.wonders of the preseut day.
' We iearn that the census of ls'JS
fives them a population of forty
three i.ud throe-ijuartcr millions of
people, and that there is not the
poverty and buffering existing among
them as with cither nations. Simple
in tastes, cleanly in their homes und
mbks, they are uniformly u happy
J-ace, tilled with a dominant pride of
country that has helped them to win
the pii'oe they now occupy and hold
among other peoples.
Mr. Otani Kahei, president of the
Yokohama Japanese chamber of com
merce, who is a very strong friend of
the I'aited States, said in one of his
recent addresses, among other
things:
"While there have been many con
tributory causes, the most direct and
powerful factor in bringing about
1he present prosperous condition of
Japan has been the impartiality and
good feeling shown by the govern
ment and people of the United States,

est of all there are schools, libraries,
societies for the promotion of this and
j the suppression of that, clubs for local
improvement, material and political,
charities with a thousand ends-in view,
erganied efforts without number, all
bent on making human life a happier
state of existence. The wonder of it
' is, observes the Youth's Companion,
that this incorrigible old world of
ours remains for so many men and

grain grower, Nature has established
conditions quite ideal for the pursuit
of another industry which lias been
in fashion among men since the be
ginning of husband-, and which will
never lose its vogue. Only within
the last five years have our people
realized that by every natural right
these lands belong to grazing herds
nnd flocks, and that through them
nlone were the arid wastes to be
made glad. Nothing is wanting to
complete the guarantee of success.
This realization has rejuvenated the
western two-thirds of the state; it
has been like the discovery of a
fountain of economic youth. In 1S05
stock grazing i" Nebraska was hard
ly more than a side issue; but it has
since taken a place second only to.
the cultivation of the soil. In 1001 ,
