tlons going on between China and
Japan. Before war was formally
declared by either of the countries
some hard fighting had been done.
The war so far, has been wholly carri-
ed on on the water, and Japan has
had the best Of it.
Some Of these days, though enough
Chinese will get mad to thicken the
water all about Japan so that the rest
of China, or so many Of them as Japan
will hold, can walk across, and when
they do they will settle down on that
little neck of land like the lice did on
Egypt.
China could lose more people than
japan has all together, and not miss
them; and excepting the money it
costs her in getting them killed she
would be better off when done, than
when she began. At the present,
though, the victories have been with
Japan.
If no other powers interfere the
windup must be in favor of China, not
because Of her fighting qualities, but
by sheer force Of numbers. China

The French scientist, Ribot, in his
work on Diseases of the Memory" tells
Of a man 30 years of age, of considera-
BILE learning and requirements, who
was found at the termination of Sc
we're illness to have lost the recollection
Of everything, even the names of the
most common objects.
AS soon as his health was restored he
began to acquire knowledge like q child.
After learning the names of objects he
was taught to read, and after this be-
gan to learn Latin. He made considera-
BILE progress when one day in reading
his lesson with his brother, who was his
teacher, he suddenly stopped and put
his hand to his head.
''What is the matter? Don't you feel
well?" asked his brother.
II feel peculiar sensation in my
head" he replied, land now it seems
to me knew all this before"
Strange to say, from that time he
rapidly recovered his faculties and could
never understand how it had been nec-
essary to teach him reading and writing
when he was 30 years of age and pro-
ficient in both.

TEACHING THE YOUNG IDEA.
Moral suasion Powerful Factor. but There
Are Times When II Fails.

Suppose you are primary teacher.
Do you realize what you must put into
your work if you wish to succeed? You
must be teacher, mother and nurse to
your little charges. You must work
with them during hours and for them
after school, You must be ready to
catch an idea anywhere and adapt it to
the needs of particular pupil who may
be dull. indifferent or disheartened, or
even all three, poor little chapl
You must be untiring in your vigi-
lance over their morals and set them al
ways good example in manners by be-
ing courteous, even if they break your
umbrella or spill ink all over yeur bes.
gown. If you are boys teacher, you
must be ready at any moment to dress a
cut, pick out splinter, arbitrate in a
fight or give q decision ON the merits of
racers or the ownership of marbles, fish
hooks and malodorous bottles Of bait. II
you can't meet these emergencies, the
average small boy will hold you in con-
tempt. If you want to win his love, you
must know something about the con-
struction of kites, be interested in the
"oneriest lookin' dog that ever invaded
schoolroom and not be too finicky
about when he washed his hands last il
pupil should offer you candy.
If you can do all these things and
laugh about them afterward, you will
probably stand high in favor.
But there is a more serious considera.
tion. You must also have his respect,
and this is not always so easily Oh
pleasantly won.
Great stress has been laid upon the
efficacy of moral suasion, but there are
times when human perversity rises tc
such pitch that the most persuasive
tongue is powerless to enforce obedience
to your will. You may be obliged tc
pick up shrieking, fighting scrap Of
humanity and put him back repeatedly
where you wish him to stay till, worn
out from the struggle, he succumbs and
likes you all the better for having con.
quered him. There's nothing mean
about the small boy.-Mary B. O'Sul.

The Farmers Friend reminds US
that the fair season will begin in
about two weeks, and it is none too
early to consider the matter. AS that
paper says, the local fair, whether
county or other, should receive the
attention of every cultivator, whether
he belongs to the class called CANA
teur" or to the professionals" as
those who cultivate plants of any
kind as business are called. A live
ly competition for the prizes, no mat
ter how small these IN themselves
may be, is the only way in which a
fair, large or small, can be made USE
full to the community. Every culti-
vator should make it point to show
his bes. products, and if any one ex j..
hibits better ones than his own he
may be sure that there is something
about varieties, or their cultivation
that he should learn.

ONE hundred pounds Of ice sells
for So cents and bushel of wheat
brings As cents. About thirty bush
els of wheat can be grown on I'm acre,
which at As cents bushel brings the
farmer gross $3.50. An acre of ice
one foot thick produces 10000
pounds, making allowance of 10 per
cent. for waste. At 35 cents per
100 lbs. this crop will bring $40. 1t
costs no more to raise and harvest an
acre of ice than an acre of wheat.
The work is done chiefly in winter
when the farmer has nothing else to
do. Why has nobody thought of
this?

WickerwOrk.

Young American girls quickly learn
the art of work with rushes and wicker.
You may hire in New York girls who
will weave wicker about small bottles
for oil or perfumes at cents a bottle
or less. There are places where such
work is done by contract, but it is more
cheaply done in large quantities by hir-
ing the girls directly and furnishing
them material bought by the bale.
The wicker weaver sits on something
like q sadd1er's horse and holds the bot
tie in a wooden wise resembling the sad
dler's. Skilled girls work with great
percision and rapidity, and the product,
by reason Of its simplicity, the almost
natural state of the material and the
obvious fitness of the fabric for its pur.
pose, has some artistic value. New

AN OHIO WOMAN
With Deliberate Aim Throws Stone
and Obliterates @ Skunk.

At last the Ohio woman has come
to the front to take he place alongside
the Ohio man.
The particular Ohio woman who
has distinguished herself is Mrs.
Mary Mccall, a widow living at Buena
Vista. According to dispatch from
that quiet hamlet in Scioto county,
Mrs. Mccall was surprised the other
morning upon opening the front door
of her house to see three skunks, four
legged skunks, playing in the yard.
According to the dispatch, also "sbe
opened on them from the coal bucket,
and succeeded in hitting one of them
In the head, killing it,"
Mrs. McCall is probably the first
woman on record who was able to
throw a stone or piece of coal, or
anything else, straight enough to hit
anything, and inasmuch as she is an
Ohio woman we propose that she shall
have full credit. or course the dis
patch does not state whether she took
deliberate aim at the skunk before
she let fly the piece of coal which did
the deadly work. For all we know
she may have thrown at the house
with her back to the three playful
perfumers, and in that way managed
to hit one of them. Or the skunk
that was hit may have p]ayfully run
in front Of the piece of coal as mat
ter of accommodation, and thus have
contributed to his own death. There
are infinite possibilities connected
with such q combination as three
playful skunks, surprised woman,
and a bucsetful OF coal. Still the
fact remains undisputed that one Of
the three skunks lay dead in the yard
after Mrs. Mccall had emptied the
coal bucket, and as she was the only
witness present her evidence to the
effect that she was responsible for
the death of ths animal must be taken
as conclusive.
Therefore she is entitled to all the
honor, and Ohio should feel Justly
proud OF her achievement.
