Twice already the sturdy burghers had been disappointed in their hopes and it was little to be wondered at that rumours of future possibilities should be regarded with a feeling akin to apathy, but now that the succession is assured the Dutch people have apparently given way
to an abandon which is at variance with their usual staid demeanour and stolid characteristics-which, in the circumstances, can well be appreciated.

It is not a valo hope that a contiau ance of this custom may greatly facilitate the development of Japanese Industries. Then followed the remark which we quole at the opening of this article. While it is quite possible that within the next two decades Japan may become a lender instead of a borrower, it cannot be gainsaid that as a nation she has a long and lonely furrow to plough, and all the signs at the present time are not too favourable_that_the happy day foreseen by the Count will arrive in so short a
space of time. But Japan has achieved so much in the space of half a century and has reached such a position in the scale of the nations within the last decade that nothing is impossible of achievement by a nation whose recuperative powers are so pronounced. It is certain that he would have been a bold person who, twenty years ago, would have declared that Japan would occupy a leading position among the great Powers at the pre sent time and it is equally certain that few
