an institution founded by the State,
supported by the appropriation of
public money. What is the mission
OF the American public school? To
train the rising generation for Amer
lean citizenship. The design of the
founders Of the public school system
III each State was to train citizens for
that State; and on no other ground
can be justified the appropriation Of
public money for public school pur-
poses. We're the object of the school
simply to benefit the children individ-
ually, without reference to their flu
ture duties as citizens, there would
be no more justice in taxing one mans
property for the education Of another
mans children, than taxing it to
clothe them.
What are the characteristics of a
good citizen? Industry, truthfulness,
prompt obedience to all rightly con-
stituted. authority, honesty and tenn
perance. These are what our schools
should teach as preparation for good
citizenship. We feel that this can
only be accomplished Gin this new de-
parture) by the voters beginning right
at the beginning. If you, by your
votes, give women the acting privi-
lege, as you have already given them
the available privilege, the prayer of
the home is that you will cast all
other considerations aside and act
with an eye single to the moral stand
ing, the capacity and competency of
those wishing to fill the positions.
Commence with the County Super
intendent of Public Schools. Fill
that position with woman who can
question, teach and help the teachers;
not one who will aspire to office from
mercenary motives, and whose finan-
cial embarrassments will make her
greedy for gain. Next in line sec to
it that the Trustees in each precinct
are women--those who have tie con
viction of right principles and will
stand by them without fear or favor;
women who have no aunts, cousins
and host of other dependent rela-
tives to make and fill vacancies for,
who can only bring husks to the
schoolroom where parens are expect
ing their children to find first-class
educational bread. HOME.

GREAT Is IRRIGATION.

Experiments and Fig ures Showing Its Supe-
riority to Non-Irrigation.
Water is one of the cheapest and most
efficient fertilizers that can be had, and the
idea is growing that irrigation will play an
important part in the agriculture of the
future. A striking illustration of its value
is given by C. E. Bostic, of Hitchcock,
OAK, who grew wheat last season both
with and without irrigation. The two sam
pies were grown in the same field, and
had like attention, except irrigation. The
land had been cultivated to wheat for eight
successive years, and the soil was naturally
in such depleted condition that large
yield was not to be expected.
With irrigation the cost was 81 40 per
acre, and the yield was 35 bushels. With
out irrigation the cost was S. 25 per acre,
and the yield was four bushels. The former
graded No. 1 Northern hard; the latter
graded rejected. The former yielded S19 55
per acre, the latter So 25 per acre. The cost
or growing the former was 80 cents per
bushel; the latter 50 Sc. 1t Is not only in
the so-calIed arid districts that irrigation
will finally be generally applied, but
wherever maximum crops would be OBJ
tained with the minimum possibility of
failure, because of an untoward season.

RELIGION OF THE ORIENT.
The Chaos of Gods and Idols That Perplexes
the Japanese.

The Chaos of Gods and Idols That Perplexes
the Japanese.
Philadelphia Times.l
The religion of the Japanese women must
appear very complicated and confused to
their little giddy brains, when even the
most learned priests of their country lose
themselves in their cosmogonies, their sym,
bols, their metamorDhoses of gods in that
millenary chaos upon which the Buddhism
of India has so strangely foisted itself with
out destroying anything. The most serious
cult seems to be that OF their deceased an
cestors. These shades or familiar gods pos
sess in each household perfumed altar, be-
fore which the living pray long at morning
and night, without, however, believing alb
solutely in the Immortality OF the soul and
in the persistence of the human ego as un-
derstood by ou- Occidental religions.
To the religious contradictions which
battle US must be added superstitions as old
as the world, the strangest or the gloomiest,
and fearful to listen to at night. Beings
half gods and half ghosts haunt the black
darkness; at crossways In the woods stand
ancient idols gifted with singular powers;
there are miraculous stones in the depths of
forests. And to have an approximate idea
of the faith of these women with small
oblique eyes, one must reduce to chaos all
that have Just said, then try TO trauspose
it into giddy brains that laughter prevents
most of the time from thinking, and that
seem at moments to have the heedlessness of
the brains of birds.

gold. The wood-cutter looked up as Paul
entered, and cried angrily: "What 90 you
want here, do you wish to steal from me 2"
mo, do not wish to steal,'' answered
Paul, "but do wish my gold piece. and
unless you return it to me shall tell of

The wood-cutter grew pale, and. produc-
ing the dwarf money, gave it to Paul, beg
ging him to be quiet Glad to again have
his treasure, Paul left the house and at once
began his journey toward his home As he
entered the forest he was greeted with shouts
of 'hurrah" from his friend, the dwarf, and
in another instant the forest was ablaze with
light, and the dwarf king, Terrus, and his
subjects approached. The king said: ST
must commend your industrious, perseyer-
ing WAYS, and promise that so.long as you
keep our gold piece, you shall never be in

NIAGARA FALLS RECEDING,
Startling Results Shown By Contrasting
New and Old SURVEYS

Startling Results Shown By Contrasting
New and Old Surveys.
The matter of greatest interest that came
up before the meeting this week in New
York of the Commissioners of the State
Reservation of Niagara, says the New York
Evening Post, was the report presented by
the State Engineer upon a new survey just
made by him, showing the position of the
crest lines and bluffs of the falls, and facts
as to the recession of the falls since 1912, the
date OF the earliest trustworthy record.
In that year a survey was made by the
State Geologist. The engineers new survey
showed the crest lines of the rocks as thev
would appear if no water had been falling
over them. These were not difficult to de-
termine except at the points of deepest curva-
ture in the Horseshoe Fall. The total mean
recession of the Horseshoe Fall since 1912
was found to be 104 feet inches, or an
average of over two feet each year. During
the last four years the average had been
greater on account Of heavy fall of rock
few years ago.
The maximum recession of the Horseshoe
Fall at any one point was 270 feet since
1912. The mean recession of the American
Fall since 1S42 was found to be 80 feet 6
inches. In the same period the length of
the crest of the American fall has increased
from ., go feet to 500 feet. The total area
Of recession of the American Fall since 1S42
is found to be $4,000 square feet; of the
Horseshoe Fall 275, 400 square feet.
Mr.. Bogert also reported that monuments
had been placed by the surveyors in snch
position that further surveys could easily
be made. The report was ordered to be
made part of the annual report S1>n. to be
presented to the Legislature.

A CRAZE OF THE DAY.
The New Game of Tiddledy Winks
and Directions for Playing.
SIMPLE, BUT REQUIRES SKILL.
Ladies With Pretty Tapering Fingers Like
the Fad Best.
SOME SAY IT'S VERY, VERY SILLY

The new game of Tiddledy Winks invaded
Pittsburg some little time ago and is having
the same run it had in the East, where it
long ago reached the dignity entitling it
to the name of fad. Somehow all the ladies
are talking about it, and, while opinions are
various, the game keeps running in popu-
larity. Some of the more sedate members
of society has denounced the new craze as
positively silly, but, no matter. the people
are playing Tiddledy Winks just the same
and having lots of fun out of it.
Next after the compliments of the day,
when Pittsburg ladies meet now, is the
question: "How are you getting on with
Tiddledy Winks? Have you learned it
yet?" Then they compare notes and 90
home to practice jumping the obstinate
winks over the tables. In the East all
social affairs are now considered insipid if
the little bright-colored discs are not hop
ping about In some corner of the parlors;
and this particular corner is sure to be the
center of attraction for the merry beaux and
bellies.
IT IS EASY TO LEARN.
The game is very simple and easily
learned. and yet requires sufficient skill to
make it interesting. There are many rea-
sons why it should be the ruling winter
game. New features are being added to in
crease the complications and consequently
the skill required. One of these features is
a miniature tennis court, but the original
Tiddledy Winks will be found sufficiently
entertaining. The complications can come
later. One, two, three or four persons may
play the game. 1t is all the more pleasing
when the players are divided into partners,
