A Great Opportunity Lost.

MT Little has strong opinions not fs- vorable to the current idea of the wealth, strength and prowess of China and her value as an ally. and considers that these are only remotely potential He thinks the Chinese possess "a much less highly developed organization than do the Cau, casian races" finds their religion consists in 'propitiating evil spirits, and that they can hardly appreciate the Christian ideal On the other hand, they have many virtues. and, although the social system Is undermined throughout by pee ulation and deceit, from the armies which only exist in the commander-in- chiefs wardrobe and the public granaries containing only chaff. down to the pres ents not intended for acceptance and the pruclamations never meant to be ob- served, so that the empire is sham; yet still he is forced to admit, on redec- tion and in fairness, that such Is the per sstent industry of the Chinese that with highly gifted rulers to guide and rule them. they may yet be great people.
 As illustrations of their readiness to obey he points to the edict of Kublai Khan, which directed that the cemeteries should be plowed up. an edict obeyed and only revoked two centuries ago, and to the Manchu orders which abolished the flowing robes and imposed the pigtail The first emperor of the present dynasty ordered the tribes of Yunan. ''on pain of death to learn Pekingese," and was obeyed NIT Little thinks thaA had we, when masters of Peking had the cour- age to usurp the dragon throne. and had we issued an edict prohibiting thence forth the mutilation of children's feet, the command would have been obeyed, sullenly perhaps, at first but afterward thankfully That, undoubtedly would have been an immense social reform, Hb- erating from torture and physical de- formity the women of China.-London Spectator

About Sneezing.

"Bless youl" some one says on hearing a companion sneeze. Bless youp was just the exclamation made for the same reason in other tongues by several na- tions hundreds of years ago. More than one ancient Greek writer speaks of this custom, but cannot say certainly whence it came. The man who sneezed when offering sacrifice was thought fortunate and sure to obtain his object. We all know how sneezing may be caused. But it is curious to notice that some people sneeze on coming into the sunshine. It is well to remember that repeated or violent sneezing has its dangers. So the unseasoned must beware of snuff!-Ex- change.

DAWN AND oUs.

Apollo's shaft of radiant flame,
 Shattered against the seas blue shield. On myraid ripples dance and gleam,
 Gold stars strewn OCT an azure field Upon the shining sands they stand
 In morn of day and morn of life, Together stand, hand clasped in hand, A bridegroom fond, a happy wife. The moon, silver scimitar,
 Sewers the driving rack of cloud Far, far beyond the harbor bar
 The surges moan, now low, now losl Alone upon the darksome strand,
 The black wave tapping at her feet, A widow stands; vanished the hand, Silent the voice that made life sweet.

Naked Children.

Little Egyptians of both sexes trot around without any clothes on, and the poorer classes of the Chinese children are often without clothes. I have seen quite large boys and girls naked in Ha- vana, Cuba, and in southern California, or rather on the California peninsula, the mother puts the child at the age of a few months a-straddle of her neck, and with his legs hanging down in front thus carries him from place to place.

q Strong Bright Light Beneficial.


One very great mistake which peo-
pie make is not using enough light.
There is a popular delusion that a
good light hurts the eyes. A good,
strong, bright light is almost always
the proper thing. Even in cases of
weak, sore, or infamed eyes should
at such times have as much light as
can possibly be borne, and the cure
will go on all the more rapidly. But
for the eyes that are not sore or in
famed, the way to keep them well,
and to increase their strength, is to
give them all the light possible. The
brighter the light, the more the eye
will be developed and strengthened.
Weakness and disabilities of the eyes
from over-use are often seen, but a
good, bright, strong light does not
usually do any harm. It tends to do
good, create health, and give
strength.

Depth Of Good Soil.

The opinions OF farmers differ,
though not more widely, than the
facts on which they are based, as to
the depth that soil may be profit
ably cultivated. In the best soils
plant food is found deeper than the
pillow can ever go. This, however, is
mainly mineral. Vegetable matters
collect near the surface! If they are
deep, as they sometimes are, the low
er portions are generally filled with
stagnant ewater. Some settlers on
black muck soil in the west thought
they had secured land of inexhausti-
bic fertility, mainly because it was
black to a great depth. They found
after a while that however deep
their muck beds, only the part that
could be thoroughly dried during
to them. What such land needs most
is thorough drainage. AS soon as it
gets this, however, the muck bed be-
comes thinner, as its carbon burns by
exposure to sun and air. Thencomes
the severest test. 1.-THE original soil
is deficit in mineral plant food the
lacking elements must soon be sup
piled. But whether poor or rich in
mineral plant food, supplies of potash
and phosphate will be needed. How
ever poor the vegetable matter may
be, its decomposition will iberate
ammonia enough togo long way to-
ward supplying grain crops, provided
phosphate is furnished. But where
ever the subsoil is sandy, potash is
also probably needed. Wood ashes
are nearly always beneficial to muck
lands, as the caustic potash they con
tain hastens decomposition Of vege-
table food, besides making phosphate
also more available.-Co Correspondent

BILLIARD BALLS
A New Industry Discovered BY

a New Industry Discovered BY
Thieves.
It was Jack Quinn, alias Jack Larri-.
gan. His companion was Tom Lar1rii-
gan, his brother, who can claim some
aliases himself when he feels like it.
Indeed, according to; police records
Thomas has served his time for petty
larceny.
The boys are under arrest this time
for the boldest and most successful
raid on billiard balls ever made in the
history OF this city. It may not be
generally known that the spheres that
men like to punch around with cues
cost lots of'money. When tn, Larri-
gans learned that the balls were worth
from $25 to $35 set OF four, they
started into wholesale business at
once. It is estimated that within the
past three months they have robbed
at least a hundred saloons, taking an
average of 500 worth of billiard balls
each. Ifthey had broken the same
number of safes it could not have
caused the police any more trouble,
for half Of the hundred saloon pro-
prietors have made a practice OF visit-
ing the chief three times a week and
giving him a scolding.
1t was q very clever scheme they
aminer. Being we'll dressed and very
smooth, they had no difficulty in get
ting the best set of balls in any bill
lard room they visited. The two
would then get into very interest
ing game on the table farthest from
the bar. When the end was coming
one ofthem would walk up to the bar
keeper and tell him to mix q couple OF
mint juleps or something Of that sort.
While the man OF the apron was work
ing about his bottles and the young
man who ordered was waiting at the
bar the confederate would run out the
game and pocket the billiard balls.
Then the two Larrigans would drink
together, pay for the liquor and the
billiard game and walk out

tective Rodgers went on hunt and
recovered fifty billiard balls in pawn

Larrigan boys.
While Judge Morley was holding
court recently Rodgers walked in to
take a look, and on the very front
bench among the spectators were the
young men he had been looking for so
long. The detective hurried out and
returned with a saloonkeeper who had
been robbed. When the two boys
were listening wide-mouthed to some
testimony Rodgers pointed at them.

"The very fellows" was the reply.
II thought so,'' said the detective,
and with that he walked up in front
ofthe Judge and grabbed the brothers.
They resisted, but were overpowered,
dragged out of the court room and
lodged down stairs.

RUNAWAY ENGINES.

The Old Ben Franklin Stopped il
Its Mad Career by Oiling the
Tracks.
The old Long Island railroad had
single track, with numerous switches
and turnings. One dark night when
the conductor was taking three pas
senger-cars through to Greenport,
after travelling six or eight miles he
noticed the headlight Of a locomotive
in his rear. What could it mean?
The locomotive was gaining rapidly
upon him. He ordered the engineer
to put on more steam. Then followed
a wild chase through the night. Pur-
suer and pursued tore along at the
highest speed. Showers. of sparks fell
from the wheels. Everybody on the
cars believed that the engineer OF the
pursuing locomotive was either drunk
or asleep At last a bright idea struck
the fireman.. He remembered that a
locomotive can make no progress on
greasy rails. The contents of two
huge cans of kerosene were poured up
on the track. The device proved sue.
cessful. Soon the headlight of the
pursuer grew dim in the distance.
The train was stopped and backed up
to solve the mystery
A laughable sight was revealed.
There stood the old Ben Franklin, u
putting and snorting and paving like
a wild bull, the driving wheels buzzine
around on the creased track like ali
possessed, but not moving an inch. =.
Sanding the track they bore. down
on the old machine. Not a sign Of
engineer or fireman was visible.
There was full head of steam on,
: but the fires were getting low.
Pushing back to the next station
with the runaway engine, the conduc-
tor was there handed a dispatch in
forming him that the s.Ben Franklin"
had broken loose, and ordering him
to switch it offat Lakeland and wreck
it.
The oiled track, however, had saved
the tsBen Franklin" from destruction

ONE Curious Legal Nuisances

Some Curious Legal Nuisances.
The following are some Of the alleged
nuisances for which injunctions and
damages have been asked from SYM
pathetic courts and juries: In q re-
cent English case an enthusiastic
amateur played daily eight hours on
a violoncello and on Sundays a little
longer some times. To add to the
misery caused, the player lived in a
fat. The Judge before whom the case
came decided that three hours was
long enough for any human being to
play on a violoncello and the iniunc-
ton issued.
In a case before the Court of Com
mon Pleas some time ago in New York
a person was brought up for trmdling
in a carriage overhead his teething
baby, both by night. and day. The
Judge, who must have been a married
man, held that the noise was not I'M
reasonable and refused to interfere.
In another English case chime of
bells at Deptford was not allowed to
ring because the noise was offensive to
a majority OF the property-owners in
the vicinity. -

congregation by sitting in a pew and

There may sometimes be very pc

Plants That Flavor Butter.
A grass which should be the dairy
mans favorite, owing to the sweet
scented fragrance it communicates to
the milk, is the Vernal grass (anthox-
anthum odoratum). 1t springs up
early in the spring, flowers and scents
the air with it's fragrance. AS a. grass
for exclusive feeding it will not rank
high, but when mixed properly with
the other more nutritious grasses it
gives a fragrance to the whole mass
which is very delightful.
No grass probably favors milk,
cream and butter so directly and
noticeably as this sweet scented Ver-
nal grass. and where it is found in
abundance in the fields growing along
with the other varieties, the butter
made from that section has distin-
gushing and exquisite taste. When
this grass is moved and slowed away
in the silo with other grasses it
gives a splendid milk food tor winter
feeding. On large dairy farms it is
we'll worth the trouble to scatter some
Of the seeds OF the Vernal grass in the
pastures. The result in the flavor Of
the milk and butter will soon be MOTTO
able. Where fancy butter is made a
speciality this grass is an essential to
the pastures.
The fragrance of the grass is due to
the presence of gum benzoln or bepzo-
ic'acid, which can be dissolved in cold
water. Butter washed in water in
which the grasses have been soaking
will lose it's rancidity to a large ex-
tent. Ensilage butter is often desti-
tute OF true flavor and it can only be
Favored by artificial methods or by
adding some such fragrant grass to
the silo which will impart it's sweet
ness to the milk before it leaves the
cows.-E. P. Smith in American Guilt.
