When a man wants to enlist in the
army OF China his courage is subjected
to very unusual test. The recruiting
officer places the candidate in chair
and proceeds TO extract tooth, and the
conduct of the patient under this ordeal
is said to decide the question as to his
fitness for the military service of the
empire. If he howls and jumps up and
down he is pronounced unfit; but if he
smiles and exhibits generally feeling
Of satisfaction he secures a permanent
place in the ranks.
An American correspondent in Ire

sation with them one is struck with the
fact that they have become convinced
that the landlord must bend or break

he privately regards as monstIous, he
will see the system of rental abolished.
The twelve thousand land owners of
Ireland must pay careful attention to
the present outcry of the six hundred

OF the 1923, 100000 gallons OF milk
produced in the United States in year,
it is probable that about one eighth is
used in rearing and fattening OF calves,
leaving balance of ! ,424 500. 900 gallons
for consumption in the form of milk,
butter, cheese and in cooking. If this
was all made into cheese it would pro-
duce over 100000 tons OF ripe cheese,
assuming that a little over gallon of
milk makes one pound OF green cheese
and that ii loses fifteen per cent. in
ripening. This would give us about ten
ounces per head, per week. Or it would
make 100000 tons OF butter, receiving
twenty-five pints to the pound, or five
ounces per head, per week.
OF late, the United States have been
marching forward in the direction OF
technical training in art. Not in high
art merely, but in The creation of all the
elegancies of lire, which were once ex-
clusively imported. We now manufac-
ture hardware for Sheffield, cotton,
yarns and prints and dress fabrics for
Manchester, ribbons Tor Lyons, and are
in fair way to supply steam engines
for Glasgow and Leeds, as we already
do for Japan and Australia. In the finer
class of goods, such as Waltham and
Elgin watches, and Newport watch
cases, our Paterson silk weaving, and
our silver tableware-such as was pur-
chased by the Prince of Wales at the
Paris exposition-all tell wonderful
tale of progress for this child nation
Of the world.
