"A GREAT PEOPLE."
| _it,--t came across this the other day while re-reading Kipling: "Japan is a great nation. Her masons Play with stone, her carpenters with woods, her smiths with iron, and her artists with fire, death, and all the eye can take in. Mercifully she has been denied the last touch of firrhness in her character which would enable her to play with the whole round world, We possess that-we, the nation of the glass flower-shade, the pink worsted mat, the red and green china puppy dog, and the poisonous Brussels carpet. It is our compensation." But Kipling is of course a back number.
