Brutality of Nations.
‘ When Japan repremitod to Russia
that it would be imptmiblo for tho mi-
hdo’e government to modify its de-
mands on China without danger of rev-
olution and actual overthrow at home,
the reply was that Russia could not give
any consideration to a question of that
lort. Whether the J apaneso government
was overthrown by revolt at home in
case the Chinese treaty were modified did
not in the slightest degree afl'cct her do-

In the stony valleys among the hills

writes acorreepondeut to the New York

it would seem that it must be a poor
and barren part of New England that
cannotbeiurned to some account. In
these little communities the craft of has-
ket making has parsed from father to
son for many generations. and doubtlese
will for many more; for, in spite of
modern invention, the good white oak
basket prominee to be as much in demand
in the twentieth century as now. Sheet
iron or aluminum paper or tropical fibre
may do some part in eolving the basket
problem of the future, but alongside of
these modern makeshifte will befouud

basket boroughs, and queer namee cling
