OF JAPAN.

There is no precedent in the history
uf nations for the wonderful progress
made by the Japanese. The country is
becoming less and less dependent on
other countries for its supplies.
It is only 40 years since the ports Of
Japan have been opened to commerce.
1t is but % years since the first labor
saving machine was set up in the en-
pire. The exports and imports nov ex-
coed Sis, 1000.
1t is said that the quickest way to in
struct the Japanese in any handicraft
is to let them go through the works and
look on. Almost instantly they are able
to repeat the process. The best native
watchmakers get only 20 cents a day.
The industrial revolution now going
On in japan is in its way quite as inter-
csting as the political revolution of 30
years ago. Until recently all the manu-
featuring done in Japan was carried on
in the households, and even now 95 per
cent. of the skilled labor still is occu.
ried in the homes of the people. This
does away with the conditions which
surround the w-ags-earners in all other
countries.

Old man Joshiah Jernigan has got one
of these long, tall army muskets, which
has come down to him through the
Jernigan generations from the first set
Element of the country. It is one of
them guns what you read about. You
ought to hear Josiah tell about it. He
can spin some of the hair-raisin yarns
perhaps as to how his g~reatrgrandfa-
Their use to shoot bear and painters and
kill wild Indians with that same old
army musket.
One night last week it would seem
like Wade Turner had went over there
to the Jernigan place to spend the
night with the boys. And after SUP
per old man Josiah took down the old
musket and unwound himself in re-
CARDS to the war history and the fight
in records of the Jernigans. In his
W wild pecurious way he told some
tremendous bloody yarns, and conse-
quentially the boys they saw things in
their sleep that night.
Next mornin Wade Turner and Sol
Jernigan-both of them nothin but
yearlin boys-they went in kersnooks
together and fixed up for a wild turkey
hunt. Wade lowed he would take the
old army musket and go out after the
fresh meat. Sol wal to meethim at the
big spring down in the woods and play
turkey. When Wade found the game
and leVeled his gun and pulled the trig-
ger and the cap popped-so far as they
knowed that old musket hadn't been
fired off since the last war-Sol he was
to jump up and keel over and flop like a
wild turkey gobbler with a handful of
buckshot in his head. Everything was
fixed up and laid off to a mats bristle,
and the boys wentforth.
Sol hid out in a clump of pallberrv
bushes, and when Wade slipped I'D in
sight with the old army musket he
stretched his neck and gobbled loud
and clear and sassy. Then Wade he
brought down the old musket, took aim.

thing was loaded. 1t was SO hard on

his mark. But it give out a regular
Fourth OF July report and kicked Wade
feet down the hill. In thetremendius
roar and confusionment Sol forgot to
jump up and keel Owe and flop like a
regular shot turkey. He lit out and run
down the branch and clum a tree, and
there he stayed till old man Josiah and
the family come and told him that
nobody was hurt and the war was over.
But the old army musket, which
hangs on the wall, amt gone nowheres.

when Gus got home that night he was
so bad scratched and tore up till he
looked like he mought have rode .
thrashin machine through a hurricane.
Up to this time old man Billy Virgins
and old man Uriah Clancy had walked
the chalk line OF law and order, and
kept the peace and dignity of the state
like friends and fellow citizens. But
the family rucus had went on from
bad to worse, and more and more of it.
The day and hour had now come when
they couldn't stay out of the game no
longer.
Over there on Little Wolf creek old
man Clancy runs a water mill. And
down the creek a mile below the mill
old man Clancy runs a farm. The
next mornin after Gus Virgins went
home wearin on his youthful counte-
nance such a ~scandlous Disagreement,
old man Billy he put out and went over
in the woods paster, where him and
old man Uriah had joined fences Is
years ago., and cut loose henceforth and
forever. In less than three hours, and
before old man Uriah could hear the
news, 81 head of cattle, four mules
and q big bunch Of goats had invaded
into the Clancy farm and licked up
three or or four acres of young corn.
Did old a Uriah shed any tears to
speak of, or lose a lick of sleep, or miss
a meal of victuals? No. He blowed
the horn for his hands and built a new
fence. That night he lowed,it was jest
about the right time of year for him
to cut his mill dam and let off the wa
ter. By the first crack of day he was
down there with his hands at the mill.
They cut the dam, and when old man
Billy Virgins went down to his creek
farm, where he had 20 acres of swamp
corn-"and hit a bunchin for the tas-
sel'-there was water, water every
where, and not a blame thing but
water.
Now you mought maybe think that
by this time them two cantankerous
old men have met up together some-
where's along the big road and had q
bloody fight. But they haven't-not
as anybody knows of. And my own
private opinions are that they never
will. From general experiments 1
think one of them is right tolerable bad
slkeered and the other blame glad of it.
They put me in mind of julie Majors
when he went out through the settle
ment lookin for work, and prayin to
the good Lord not to let him find any.
Old man Billy has now took out and
quit the Methodist church on the
grounds that he can't fellowship with
the Clancys, and old man Uriah has
left the peoples party because he don't
see how the Clancys and the Wigginses
can vote the same ticket
There amt no tellin for certain where
the family rucus will stop. But in the
main time we are not lookin for any
second-class funerals, and the country
is safe.

VICIOUS vULTuRE.
He Is the Largest specimen Of His kind
- Ever CRptured.

he lis the Largest Specimen of His Kind
Ever Captured.
A bird ofprey as tall as a mani Such
is the prize just captured by the super
intendent of Richard Gird's ranch in
the hills south of Chino, San Bernar-
dino county, Cal. The prisoner is a
magnificent specimen of the California
yulture, without doubt the largest ever
taken captive. From the crown of it's
ferocious-looking, red-wattled head to
its strong, scaly talons it measures six
feet. It's plucky captor is a inch or two
shorter in his cowhide boots. The man
has the advantage in weight, for the
bird weighs 100 pounds. Still that is
n fair fighting weight to carry through
the rarified upper air. In order to ac-
complish this feat the vulture is pro-
vided with wings that have a spread of
IL feet. Withal the ornithologists who
have seen it declare that it is merely a
youngster.
Apart from the red wattles already al
luded to, the birds head CONVEYS the
idea of a very bald old man of miserlv
instincts. The back and the upper part
OF the wings are gray, and the tail and
larger wing feathers are a glossy black.
The legs and feet are of a reddish hue.
Altogether Mr.. Gird's pet is a formid-
able looking creature. Partly for this
reason, partly because of its red poll.
partly because of his light weight in
contrast to his extreme height and
strength, and partly because he shows
a vicious inclination to deal knockout
blows to whoever approaches him, Mr..
Grid proposes to take good care of his
prize, and is prepared to match him
against any captive wild bird living.
Ii the match were an eating contest
Mr.. Grid would probably be on the safe
side. Allured by the palatable favor
CT a dead COW, the bird devoured nearly
every particle of flesh from it's bones.
which so oppressed him that however
he tapped his wings he was
unable to fly away to his eyrie among
distant mountain Businesses.
In this humiliating p-redicament he
was lassooed and dragged, f~uttering
but helylessly,to Mr. ird's
stable. His mood just at present is a
trifie morose, as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, but Mr.. Grid
hopes to convert the bird into an affec.
tionate and interesting household pct.
in the birds present untutored
condition his owner declares that he
would not take $1,000 for him.
Mr.. Grid probably does not exagger-
ate the value of the acquisition. The
California yulture is very nearly ex-
tinct owing to the traps laid for birds of
prey by settlers.-San Francisco Exam

sfRAINs THE NERVEs sEVERELY



P~r0dislous Labor IN Learning lnstrn-
mental Music Thoroughly.
Gounod, the composer, bitterly re-
scented the omnipresence OF the average
piano player. He was strongly in favor
of "a somewhat severe ~pianoforte tax.
His argument was that 90 out Of every
100 who learned to play that instru-
ment failed to attain more than a super
fetal stage, either Of conception or ex-
ecution, and that they wasted valuable
time, which might otherwise be en-
ployed in doing something that would
benefit them. He also commended that
the piano practice of students consti-
tuted a public nuisance, and was irri-
tating and exasperating to such a de-
gree as to become an outrage on peace
fully inclined citizens. The proposed.
tax was never levied, but some figures
published by a French scientist may
possibly in some measure tend to re-
strict the indiscriminate teaching of.
music to very young children. It is
declared that a large number of nerve
GUS maladies from which girls of the
present day suffer are to be attributed
to playing the piano. Children who
ought to be exercising in the open air
are kept at dreary and ~distastefuI work
at the keyboard hour after hour daily,
and the nerves simply will not stand
the strain.
It is said to be proved by statistics
that of 1000 girls who study this in
strument before the age of IL less than
600 suffer from this class of disorders,
while of those who do lot begin until
later there are only some 200 per 1000.
The proportion among those who are
spared the practice is only 100 per 1000.
The prosecution of the study of the
violin by the very young is proved to be
equally injurious. The remedy sug-
gested is that children should not be
permitted to study either instrument
before the age of Is, at least, or, in the
case of delicate constitutions, not until
a later age. So far as the piano is con-
cerned, however, it is possible that the
true remedy may be found in a better
method of teaching. The main point
in early tuition is to "form" the hands
and give them fexibility and strength.
This is purely mechanical and it can
be done away from the p~ianoforte key
board. The endless repetition of sound,
which is responsible for much of the
wear and tear of the nerves of Young
musical students, is thus avoided. and
progress is made from the con-
of the mind and technique
only. The objection has been raised
that such asystem makes "mechanicaI'
players. As a matter of fact, it makes
only those mechanical who would
