Asiatio f" Black DEATH

; The pestilence now ravaging q great
part of Asintic Russia bears TINT name
of "Black Death" SO familiar for centu-
ries as describing one of the most fear
full Of those plaques which, appearing
at irregular intervals, have devastated
the globe. Presumably, says the New
York Times, it was this same form OF
'scourge that, starting also from Asia,
spread over that continent and Europe
about the middle of the fourteenth
century, and Is reputed to have had
millions of victims. 1t is doubtless also
the Same that made another widespread
and terrible devastation in 1904 and
1865, and of whose ravages in London
Defoe gave so vivid an account. There
1t was oftenest called simply the plague,
but the namc "Dlacl1 Death" is derived,
rs may be remembered, from the
blotches accompanying the disease. 1t
Is believed that its visitations were
made as often as once or twice In q
century In ancient times, and it was
around Naples as late as 1915. Its re-
appearance now in West Siberia is
marked by terrible mortality which
recalls the stories of some of its old
time ravages; but this is largely due,
no doubt, to the lack of medical aid in
that region.

A Woman In tho Moon.

1t may not be generally known, but
there is the head of girl in the moon,
says the Atchison Globe. It's profile,
and can be easily discerned when the
moon Is full. When the moon is in the
Eastern sky she is looking north and
the head inclines upward. AT the top
OF the yellow orb you will see her hair
and sort Of naughty bang which con-
ceals most of her forehead; little be-
low you will see her eye; then comes
her nose (this is rathes indistinct), then
will be seen the chin, underneath which
very shapely neck curves back, indi-
eating that she Is well fed

Points About Hops.
Yakima Herald.

lakIila tleraIus
The Herald representative recently had a long
conversation with K. J. Mackson regarding
hops, and from him ELECTED much information.
Mr.. Mackison has given the subject much study.
He said: commercially speaking, there are
five grades of hops, known as fancy, strictly
choice, choice, medium and low grade. The
defects Off color, bad picking, broken in
handling, high temperature in drying, picking
before maturity, blight, mould and rust The
last three defects we are not trOu bled with as
yet, nor do ! think we ever will be, but am
sorry TO say that one of the other defects men,
toned will be found in most of the Yakima
hops; but { lies in our power to remedy all OF
them. This can be done by giving more aften-
ton TO the pickingi discarding trampIng bales
not picking until the hops are ripe; rebuilding
our kiIns and making them higher, tighter
and with more pitch TO the roof, so that
the hops can be dried at a lower tempera-
ture, and the use of more sulphur in our
drying First-class hops require frst-ciass ap-
planes in curing and baling, and they can not
be expected with the poor kilns at present i'll
use, nor can We expect a fancy price without
having product of fancy grade. The time is
not far distant when growers will be paid for
their hops according to the grade put on the
market, although it would be better for the
producer and the country If we would market
none but fancy hop, for then we would acquire
q reputation which would induce more compe-
titiou among buyers and admit of Yakima hops
selling first in duh year. Make buyers seek US
instead OF our having TO seek the buyers, for a
home market and a cash market are two points
that this section sadly needs, and we can have
both if we produce the right grade OF hops"

civil conflict closed there is no evidence that
peace societies have any more adherents
than they had fifty years ago. 1t is a cur
ious fact that Charles Sumner, who was the
favorite orator before the American Peace
Society forty years ago was a most intem-
peTate advocate OF demands against
England for the Alabama claims, which,
had they not been disavowed by our gov
eminent, would have forced q war upon
the United States. If We were not de-
fenceless today, and if We were not
isolated from all irritating friction with
the powers of Europe, we would probably
be as prompt to make war or threaten war
as Germany, France or Russia; that IS, II
We felt able and the opportunity was
present. We would not be deferred from
war by any superior, increased moral
reverence for or abstract Christian love Of

The San Jose Scale in Yakima County.

The need of strict means of quarantine
against California fruit pests has a vivid Illus
tration in this county. L D. Morris, of the All
tanum, had a fine orchard, which he valued at
5000. One day box which had contained
California fruit was taken 10 his place and left
under one OF the trees. 1t was not long before
the San Jose scale had attacked that tree and the
pest soon spread and covered the entire orchard.
The state board OK horticulture at its recent ses-
sion decided that the most effective work in
dealing with fruit pests could be done in the
winter when the trees are in manner dormant.
To penetrate the woody material with which the
eggs OF many noxious insects are surrounded
and the scales OF the San Jose pest, a strong
wash is needed, and one can be used in the
winter that Is i've times stronger than one which
would AZURE the foliage at another time. Ives
aud sulphur can be used in the off season with
ont injury, TO say nothing OF soap ami kerosene

The weakness Of our educational
system when We rise beyond the COM
mon school lies in the fact that the pu-
pills are made to waste SO much time in
absolutely worthless studies that no foun-
dation for sound taste for reading that
stands for modern information and cult
ure is ever established. A wretched smat-
ter!ng Of multiplex knowledge Is given
without creating the essential thing,
taste and aspiration for sound informa-
ton, knowledge and culture, as expressed
in the past and present literature and his
tory of both England and her splendid
child, the United States. If our school
system were wisely directed no pupil
would ever leave school at 16 without
taste for sound reading, or at least
knowledge of what reading was
worth most to the man who
had any time for reading outside
Of business or professional learning.
1t would be blessing to our schools and
colleges if the study of the classics was
dropped, save as optional studies, and its
place taken by modern history and Eng
lish literature. This is the opinion of
famous Scotch professor of classics, John
Stuart Blackie, of Herbert Spencer, OF
Professor Farrar, of the head masters of
many of the great English schools, for as
Professor Blackie says, the reasons which
once justified the study of the classics no
longer exist, since their best juices have
long ago been absorbed into and become
the staple fiber of English literature.

The House of Delegates has decided to
take up the proposed charter amendments
on Friday night. Iii to be hoped that this
body, together with the coordinate branch,
will consider all questions in the broadcast
spirit. The more concise and explicit the
better. 1t should not be forgotten that
every amendment must be voted upon
separately, and if all are adopted which
have been proposed, the ballot will be
equal in size to three or four columns of a
newspaper, and require about forty sep
arate votes.
