Japanese Battle Songs.

Like most nations, the Japanese have
had their war songs from the time they
had any existence as a people, but we
are told that the lyrics which were used
by the soldiers in the time Of the first
great Emperor of Japan, Jimmu Tenno,
ego b. c., were particularly rhythmical
and finished. Japanese songs, with the
exception of the heroic or historical
ones, are all short, and when these are
sung in times of peace, they are set to
the Koto.
The first Of these up-to-date martial
songs Is entitled Gallant Warriors"
IL warriors go to war by land, the
turf shall receive the bodies Of the slain.
If warriors go to war by sea, the ocean
shall receive the bodies of the slain.
From time immemorial our gallant
warriors have gone forth in swarms.
Human life lasts but for fifty years;
who would wish to purchase few mis-
cradle years of life at the cost Of dis
honor? March and fire as long as
breath remains, for our lives are at the
disposal Of the sovereign, our bodies
are to be sacrificed to the glory of the
country; let soldiers die with oil their
wounds In front. The souls of those
who thus defy death shall be through
the ages to come the guardian angels
Of Oriental tranquility. SO, go fortf
GO forth, We warriors; warriors, go
forth! -
The second battle song, which is dis
tinctly Of very recent date, is ITO Pc.

At the fourth annual meeting Of the
Ohio State Academy Of Sciences, Il. l..
Merely read paper entitled, Notes
on the Bald Eagle" says The Ohio
State Journal. Mr.. MoreI1 resides In
northern Ohio, and his paper gave a
description of this American bird,
which has nests at Kelley's Island, Put
Inlay, on the peninsula, and ut vari-
Gus points In northern Ohio. He gave
the result of personal observation Of
u pair Of eagles which have az eyrle
near country postoffice In the vicinity
Of Sandusky, which they have occupied
for nine years, rearing two and some-
times one eaglet each year. He said
that the eagles occupy their nest for
years. Some have been recognized by
old fisherman as having been sixty
years in one nest, and others forty to
fifty years. He stated that on the
islands the eagles are decreasing in
numbers, but on the peninsulas they
are increasing, notably some sixty hav-
Ing been counted on the west harbOr
and some thirty more on the east har-
Dor near the peninsula.
In the remarks following Mr.. More
OF that part of Ohio are very fond Of
the birds, and that a fine of $50 is laid
for shooting one Of them. The eagles
eat fish almost exclusively, the strong
taking them from the weak, and also
stealing as elsewhere from the osprey.
The question was asked whether it
were true that when the male bird was
shot another male came along and con-
soled the discOnsolate widow eagle in
the same nest and assisted to rear fam
lilies, and If the female were killed the
male would desert the eyrie and never
return, nor would any other pair occupy
such nest, except by accident. Mr..
the opportunity Of observing, having no
method Of distinguishing the sexes, as
they were about the same size and
plumage. He had noticed that when
ever one bird was away the other
generally stayed at the nest and watch
ed for the return of the mate, some
times going TO meet him. He had also
noticed that on Kelley's Island some
years ago there were four nests, and
now there was but one. Why the other
three were abandoned he never knew,
but the suggestion in the question
might account for it. He had noticed
also that q bird which might be
grown-up son or daughter had been
seen to domicile with the old birds for
some weeks and then fly away.

Pine from Canada.

Alpena lumbermen have made n big
deal for Canadian pine with which to
stock Alpena mills. The deal includes
the timber limits of the Blind River Lum-

price paid was $4,000, General Alger
having offered $4,000 for the same
property last year. The limits are esti-
mated to cut 100000 feet, and the tim
Der is said to be of the finest quality of
Canadian timber. The timber will all he

THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

How many people in Chicago know that with all her other great industries there is also found here the largest soap and washing powder business In the world, The N. K. Fairbank Company, with their factories in Chicago, St Louis and Guttenberg, being without doubt the largest producers of soap products in the United States. This great business is not of mushroom growth but the result Of persistent effort. broad business methods and intelligent and discriminating adverH ing
 Many brands of soap are made in these fac- tories, but Chicago is best acquainted with Santa Claus, which long ago found favor with those who care for our homes Gold Dust Washing Powder Is known in every hamlet Of the United States 1t being everywhere rec ognized as the leading product Of It's kind
 Announcement Is made that the N. K. EairbAnk Company are about to take another step forward to turn another page in their historyaf progress by introducing another nsW soap. This will shortly be advertised fa Amn0t sfr1kfng and original manner.
 For tW6Ety-4Ko 9eArs this company was Hkewise the leading lard producer Of the world, and abandoned lard merely because e new world was to be conquered. With keen business perception they saw in cotton seed oil the basis for still larger business in 8 more heAlthful, more economical and fn every way more desirable food product than lard.

THE BEE BUZZ.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEl


 On the question of "ability to teach, 3 the last report of the state board of edu- cation has the following plain words ''It is difficult to formulate the minimum requirements of teachers, but they should be acquainted with the subjects they pre- tend Jo teach, with the nature of the children who are to be taught, with the practical art and the principles which underlie that art, and with the expert ence of eminent teachers. They should be prepared to furnish to children the right subjects at the time, to present all material in it's proper order, to secure au- tention, to make children work cheer fully, to induce right habits.
 But without any such requirements they undertake to teach. If, with similar preparations they should undertake to perform a surgical operation. build a house or run locomotive, they would be culpably rash, laughed at for their temerity, and might be punished crimi- nally for their failure. They are, how ever, cheerfully ready 10 perform any number of operations on child's mind, to steer it's mental or moral machinery, a task, considering the delicacy of the machinery and the momentous conse- quences of mistake, more difficult than any that have been mentioned.
 There are fallacious reasons urged for the employment of untrained teachers. The first and worst is, that any one can teach child to read, write, and cipher that even if training and education are necessary for teaching advanced pupils, the beginnings of education can be en- trusted to the inexperienced and unlearn- ed and immature. So far is this from being true that the exact contrary is true. the early instruction of children can be effectually directed only by an accom- plished teacher.
 It is still more plausible delusion that teaching is a knack, a heaven-born gift, that some are predestinated to teach.
 This is not true; but admitting it for the moment, we would, in the name of common sense, send all who desire or ex- pect to teach to some testing place and not turn the elect and the non-elect in- differently loose upon children who have the knack? Shall the children of this commonwealth be practiced upon for years that the knack may be found to exist or not to exist? Shall successive generations of teachers be trained at the expense of successive generations of mind? It is not wisdom to cull the mani festIy unfit and not leave the selection to chance or impotence or favoritjsm ?'' TO. O. Wright.

DAVID CHRISTIE MURRAY

CHARMS A VIEWPOINT AUDIENCE.
 The course of entertainments, which have been so thoroughly enjoyed in Newtown the past winter, had fitting close, last week Thursday night, in the lecture by David Christie Murray, who gave his audience treat of a high order. Mir Murray was introduced by Thomas Cook Wordin of Bridgeport, who proph- esied that most enjoyable evening awaited them, which promise was more than fulfilled. HIS subject, 1.-The Novel; ist's Note Book" might perhaps be con- sidered misleading. The lecture was really delightful series of "reminiscences, looking backward over the career of man who had trodden the thorny road of journalism, a person who had tasted the bitter with the sweet, but who had arisen to fame in his own land by ability and pluck. Mir Murray has command ing presence, of good form and man who impresses you with his intellectual power. He would not perhaps be called a great orator, but there is fascination about his delivery that at once holds at- tention. MT Murray also exeels in his skill in mimicry, his take-off of Disraeli and Gladstone, be- ing good examples of his power in this line. One of MT Murray's critics has said ''that he has opened new vein in the lecture field," and indeed he has. MT Murray spoke for fully two hours. last Thursday night, and at the close his audience would have unanimously voted to have had him continue another hour As THE BEE said some weeks previous to MT Murray's coming, 'It will be a lecture long to be remembered and talked of by those who attended"

w. K. Nolan claims to sell more shoes, and at closer margains, than any other shoe dealer in the state. It is a big claim, but there are lots of facts to support 1t. Mollan's is one of those stores where they are always busy. If times are dull and business naturally slow, Nolan gets up a sale which takes the city and surrounding towns by storm. The sales are bona ffde, too. He seems to have positive genius for finding big bargains in footwear and by the magni- tude of the deals he makes is enabled to place prices on good shoes which would bankrupt dealer who does business only on the old style, slow going lines, and even when there is no special sale going on, his counters are always heap. ed with shoes selling far below regular market rates.
