A woman contributor to Ihe Woman's Home Companion, in Ihe course of an article on "The Country of Our Dreams," makes the following statements: "Whenever there is a man who is a failure, look, and there you will generally find not far from him in his life some girl or a woman who was selfish.

All British African possessions are in the hands of a black republic. f Australia and New Zealand, Fiji, the Fast Indies and Manchuria are Japanese, and Persia is credited to Bussia. Below the map are some figures giving the relative standings of the nations of the earth when the Japanese artist's dreams coine true.
