Lesson From the Far East.

In Japan there lives native scholar
and writer than whom no one has done
more toward introducing education
and civilization into his country. Re-
peatedly he has refused both titles
and remunerative offices.
This man had never sought for
wealth, but he had acquired during n
long life of usefulness a moderate
sum for his support in later years
about ten t.iousand dollars in our
money. When the war with China
broke out, he at once gave this money
to his government as his contribution
toward the war expenses, saying that
individuals must make sacrifices for
the cause of patriotism.
This splendid example of love for
the native land illustrates the intensi-
ty of the patriotic spirit in Japan.
The general absence of this unselfish-
ness in China has been one cause of
her defeat. Office has been used to
satisfy personal greed. The govern
ment has been feared and cheated, not
loved and strengthened.
A Japanese student in this country,
talking with an American, said naively,
'In Japan l was Christian; here

understand your young men. They
do not want to do anything for the
country. They want to make money,
or get in Congress-, or marry rich
widows and go to Europe. In Japan

thing for the country"
Devotion to the general good, ear.
nestness in advocating what is for the
interest of all rather than for that OF
the class or individual, willingness to
give ones own time and trouble to adj
vance needed reform-these are quail
tiles that should be universal. In them

A Geological Puzzle.

A few miles east of Youngstown,
Ohio, in the township of Coitsville,
which makes the northeast corner of
Mahoning county, is freak of nature
of an entirely exceptional character.
Rising above an otherwise rather level
surrounding is an irregular elevation
composed almost wholly of smooth
white pebbles, such as one sees in the
sand -pumpings after torpedoing ''peb-
BILE rock" and which may also be seen
conglomerated in some localities
where certain rock strata are exposed
The peculiar bank under consideration
consists of several acres, with the high
est point perhaps ten or twelve feet
high, and gradually thinning out into
the common plain. There is nothing
anywhere in the region to suggest any
thing of the kind, no trail of such ma
terial to show where it came from, but
when the thin soil is recovered it is
simply one mass of these peculiar and
evidently water-worn stones, ranging
in size from common pea to mar
BILE. The deposit must amount to tens
of thousands of tons.
1t would be most interesting to
have an explanation of this pebble
bank from some of the authorities on
geology ON the accepted hypothesis
of glaciation. 1t would indeed be
worth listening to, to have it ex-
planned how this mass was slowly
showed perhaps 1000 or 5000 miles,
dumped bodily in Coitsville, without
trail of detritus by which it could
be traced to its lair.
The surrounding region is singularly
free of this kind of material, and how
came 30 large quantity of this rock,
so rarely seen in strata, all smoothed
and polished off into these myriads of
pebbles, to be resting here? Without
a doubt these little white pellicles are
eloquent with marvellous history,
both as to origin and method of trans
portation, but who is it that is equipped
to discern "the still small voice." that
comes through the interminable ages,

A Canine Doll Lover.

The latest sensation in Birmingham
EnglandD is the doll snatching dog.
The animal is the property of n lady
who resides at Small Heath, and some
time ago one of her little girls was
very fond of inducing the dog to carry
her doll, and the animal acquired quite
u passion for relieving the child of her
precious charge. The dog would carry
the doll about for hours, and often
times take it to his kennel and lie
down beside it for the greater part of
the day. He never harmed the doll,
always gripping its clothes, and not
dcfacing it III the slightest. Up to a
certain point its tendencies were pro-
ductive of unadulterated fun, and SO
popular did the dog become that the
children of the neighborhood fire.
auently came to its owners house with
the query, "Please, Mrs. -, can your
dog come and take my doll for
walk?" But by degrees the animals
healthy affection for dolls developed
into an absolute passion, and now
more unpopular quadruped does not
exist in the whole suburb. Not con-
tent with carrying doll when re-
ouested to do SO, the animal COM
menced to prowl about the neighbor-
hood and forcibly deprive stray chill
dren of their treasured pets When
ever and wherever he saw doll in
child's arms no would stealthily walk
up to her, seize the prize and run off
with it to his kennel. On single day
he has been known to bring four cap
lures home, and the maternal indigna-
ton of the neighborhood is something
terrible to contemplate. Birmingham

The Vanilla Plant.

The vanilla bean, says DIR. F. H.
Knowlton in Popular Science News,
has no connection with the bean fam.
lily, but is the product of sweet
scented, climbing orchid, vanilla plan
ifolia, native of Mexico and tropical
America. 1t climbs over trees and
shrubs, while retaining connection
with the soil, has thick, heshy stem
and leaves, and short spike of green
ish- white, sweet-smelling flowers. 1t
is propagated by cuttings set in we'll
drained and prepared soil, eighteen
inches deep composed of rich loan,
sand and leaf mould in equal parts.
The flowers are fertilized by pecu-
liarly constructed moth which visits
the flower for the nectar, it being i'm
possible for the pollen to reach the
stigma without aid. When the plant
was first introduced into the West and
East Indies, although growing vigor-
ously no pods were produced, this
moth being absent, and artificial pol
lenation was resorted to with success.
The vanilla plant flowers the second
year, and natures the third or fourth.
The pods reach full size in a month,
but require six months to ripen. In
curing, they are allowed to ferment
slightly, exposed to the sun between
woollen blankets and kept in tight tin
boxes at night sometimes pressed with
oily fingers, and dried again in the
sun. The process varies in different
countries, but when completed-in
two or three months-the pods are of
n rich chocolate color, dry and pliable.
In bundles of fifty they are packed in
air-tight tin boxes. The essence is ex-
tracted by prolonged soaking in alco-
hoI-a half-pound of pods to a gallon
of sixty per cent alcohol. New York,
London and Paris are the vanilla mar
kets of the world.

Manufacture of Eyelets.

An interesting business is that OF
making the little eyelets so necessary
in lacing shoes. To one who does not
understand their manufacture, the la-
Dor of making them is complicated.
A certain firm does not make those
which turn yellow and brassy with age.
but their specially is to make the So
called "fast-color" eyelets which does
not wear yellow nor old age make
brassy. This is accomplished by q
patent process by which the eyelets
are covered with preparation of cell
luloid which never wears off, and the
firm have also patented a process by
which hooks over the upper holes are
made SO as not to cut the strings.
This celluloid preparation is not ex-
pensive, adding only p cents to the
cost of pair of shoes.
The plant was started in modest
way nearly two years ago in the base
ment of the building. The basement
of the building is used to make the
eyelets, and they turn them out by
the millions during the year. In the
next floor are the skilled machinists,
who are engaged in cutting the dies
which cut out the eyelets from the
copper. These are cut and counter
sunk to great degree of nicely. In
another room there are the dozen or
more young women who patiently aud
with great care pick over and sort the
little eyelets and throw out all imper-
feet ones. This requires bright eyes
and more patience than the average
mortal possesses, as the eyelets are as
sorted one by one and the slightest
imperfection in any one of them con-
demns it.
The eyelets are made in several col
ors, black for the most sedate go-to-
meeting shoes and brown to match
the gaudy russell. Springfield Repub-
lican.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Nothing is so brave as love.
Between two evils some folks choose
both.
Whatever duty has to do, love likes
to do.
To be without faults is to be with
out friends.
An opportunity missed may be an
eternity lost.
Angels would weep if men had to be
judged by each other.
Hiding sin isn't bit safer than
handling a rattlesnake.
Hate would overcome by killing !;
love conquers by dying.
The truly wise man will never worry
about what he can't help.
Putting crown on the head puts
nothing kindly in the heart.
Whenever faultfnder opens his
mouth he tells everybody what he lives
on.
A fool is always burning his fingers
because he cannot remember that fire
is hot.
Some people have to stay poor be-
cause they will not believe it is blessed
to give.
The man who becomes q successful
hypocrite has to work at every day in
the week.
1t will puzzle posterity to make out
why some of her forefathers were given
monuments.
When you can't get the closet door
shut, try oiling the hinges with the
oil of praise.
If we would but stop looking toward
the wrong place, We would be more
apt to stay in the right one.
If we will make it the habit of our
lives to look on the bright side, We
will always have bright side to lool
on. Rams Horn.

Facts About Pekin,

Charles DENLY, Jr. secretary OF the
United States legation at Pekin, China,
has spent ten years in the Orient, and
is thoroughly familiar with Chinese
affairs. ''Pekin," he said, ''is city
without waterworks, gas or electricity,
and yet everybody likes to live there,
this being especially true of the China
men. Pekin has but an imperfect
sewage system, and the sanitary con-
ditions are very bad, yet there is little
disease there. Pekin is at the same
time one of the dirtiest and healthiest
cities in the world. In striking con-
trast is Toxic, Japan, where there are
waterworks, gas, electricity and mod
ern improvements, with good sanita-
ton, yet which has frequent cholera
epidemics and is far from being health
ful. In time there is little doubt that
the advantages that go to make up a
progressive city will gain foothold
in Pekin, but at present there is little
inclination for change"
