The State superintendent desires that
the reports of county superintendent be
furnished on time this year. If town
clerks are negligent their towns will be
deprived of their share of the school
fund. This fact should be generally IN
derstood. Make the reports out in sea-
son and let these districts which fail to
report in time suffer the consequences.

vote money for wSrlike purposes, but they
made a very liberal appropriation for the
purchase OF small grains. And the powder

The Fmperor of China.

During tho recent journey Of the emperor
Of China through the streets Of Pekin to per-
form his annual devotions in the Temple Of
Heaven the most extraordinary precautions
were taken to prevent his people from catch
ing glimpse of his sacred person. High
screens of mating, covered with blue cloth.
hid the imperial procession from the vulgar
gaze, and the windows along the route were
all screened to prevent any illegal peeping.
The fact that it is sure death to be caught
looking at this young man is an excellent
reason why seats along the line Of march did
not command premium.
As long as the mikado Of Japan was kept
immured in his palace under the belief that
he was too sacred a parsonage to be seen by
common folks he was mere puppet in the
hands Of the tycoons. Now his subjects
may have his majesty's photograph if
they want it, may sometimes get O
glance Of him, and the tycoons have
gone out of business. There is at
least one indication that the mystery which
shrouds the emperor Of China may some day
be dispelled a Shanghai newspaper printed
