According TO the ornithologist Oh the
Agricultural Department the crow Is
not a. black as he is painted. The
charge against the crow that he eats
nothing but corn is disproved by an
examination Of their stomachs, which
shows that they eat uoxious insects
and other animals. and though 20 per
cent Of their food is corn, it is mostly
waste corn. picked mp in the fall and
winter. Their chief sustenance con-
sists of ants. beetles. caJerpillars, bugs
files. grubs. etc. which do damage to
the farmer. All the same the old
scare crow will continue to stand
guard. No cornfeld would look right
without him.

Richard. the Lion Hearted, who late in
life combined the fighting proclivities OF
the ,Brannan street gang and the MASKING
proclivities of the Market street bud,
was engaged to be married to the daugh-
Ter OF the king of France when he was II
years of age.
Her name was Adelais, and people EN-
ployed for the purpose said she was beau
teous, though SO young.
The youthful Richard was not an active
party to this engagement, which was the
result Of a. bill passed, by the Legislature;

THE IDEAL SYSTEM

The meetings of the County Teachers
Institute, the last of which was held yes.
terday, have been somewhat obscured from
public view by the Fiesta attractions. 1t
is unfortunate for the good done in the
course of the gatherings that the sessions
should have been coincident with our
carnival diversions. The opportunity
afforded by the programmes of the insti-
tute for the PRONUNCIATION and exchange
of ideas and suggestions for the better
ment of our educational system is one
eagerly grasped by the teachers. and has
been productive OF vast improvement
in the art of teaching the young idea how
to aim. In the friction of discussion the
sparks of truth are struck, and while in
each of these conversations somebody's
treasured notions and carefully planned
theories will be numerically, ami
Inflated, nearly always in the end sub
stantia advance has been made toward
the ideal in educational procedure.
One significant feature of this recent
assembly of mind molders was the consid-
Grafton bestowed upon methods of train
ing, rather than subjects of knowledge.
This is an encouraging bit of evidence OF
the approach to an Ideal educational sys-
ten. 1t is rapidly dawning on the minds
of people that it is the real business of
schools to teach ways of finding out facts
rather than to instruct the pupils in the
alleged facts themselves---to so train the
mental faculties and cultivate the mind
that the student may acquire such knowl-
edge as his or her time. inclination and
circumstances in life may permit. suggest
or require. The day is rapidly coming
when the beginning and end of the teach
er's task will be the t aching of instru.
mentalities and not history, religion, po-
litical economy or any other thing or
faith or science regarding which there is
inaccuracy of data, difference of opinion
or diversity of construction. This will
eliminate from the schools and colleges
of the country those subjects of belief or
faith regarding which unanimity of
thought is apparently unattainable, and
the treatment of which engenders bitter
ness and causes .estrangement. The teach
ing of the way to find out about thing
is entirely different from teaching about
the thing itself. WHAT are truths to some
people are fallaees and falsehoods to 9TH
ers, and the only ultimately satisfactory
educational method will be that which
leaves the person educated to determine
for himself or herself with the aid that
the light Of the time may shed, what
shall be accepted or rejected in morals,
religion, philosophy, politics and history.

THE END OF THE REIGN

The regime of pleasure closed with a.
pageant of unrivaled beauty and a night
OF unbounded hilarity. The festivities of
yesterday were at once the resume of all
that had occurred and the elimination
of everything expected. The floral a.
rade OF the afternoon was like vision
stolen from the realms of fairyland and
beyond question exceeded the utmost
anticlpations of the enchanted spectators.
No more appropriate finale could be de-
vised for the series of street displays in
which beauty art and originality have
been the cooperating factors. The attr-
butes of these three essential quantities
found their highest expression in ycster-

to failure, for 1T can never comprehend

A SiIuriau View

Because Maggie Tiller. muatto wo-
man who deliberately murdered a man
in Chicago, has been sentenced to be
hanged. Chicago newspaper has thought
it worth while to inflict on the public
views in relation to the trial, says the
San Francisco News Letter. Here is a
specimen extract from the talk of Mrs
Catherine Waugh Mccullough, whoever
she may be:
IF there had been at least six women
jurors. l should have felt there was more
assurance of the verdict being a correct
one. This woman was not tried by a
jury of her peers but by jury of her
political oppressors.
And here is another deliverance of
equal wisdom:
Its unfortunate, said Miss Ada Sweet,
president of the Chicago Woman's club.
that women should have to be tried by
laws made by men. before a. jury of men,
aud sentenced BY a man.
Why unfortunate? If men have any
weakness, it is that of undue sympathy
for woman in distress. 1t is utter non
sense to say that woman who is tried
by men does not have trial by her peers.
The new" women are careful to disavow
the idea that different punishment
should be meted out to their own sex
from that imposed upon male wrong
doors. And vet it is noticeable that all
the women interviewed at Chicago, con.
corning the sentence Of Maggie FILLER ex.
pressed the opinion that capital punish
ment is bal barous.

A LAND OF LITTLES

p Japan is a land of little things. It is
pretty not sublime or grand. except Tor
rusiyama and some of its mountain fea-
lures. 1t is a small country, whose farm
ers till little fields, whose little people
dwell in little houses, set in little gar
dens. play little musical instruments, eat
little meals and trot along narrow roads
in little wagons drawn by little men. On
ly the temples are at all large and these
do not compare in size with those of
other lands. Only the courage of the peo-
pie and their patriotism are great.
The Japanese are mperamentally the
Frenchmrn of Asia. But, geograph cally,
they are situated more like Great Britain,
on comparatively small and thickly settled
islands near the coast. Like England.
their land can grow great and rich only
by becoming great seafarlng and trad
ing nation. They understand this per-
fectly. This is the meaning OF their new
navy and their great efforts to found a
merchant marine. These efforts have been
successful. japanese ships are rapidly
increasing in mum beTs and in tonnage.
No one needs to be told that they are
well managed.

just twice the size of all Japan, with its
40, 900. 600 or more people; Montana is
