Although in some parts Of China tho
weather during winter is very cold, the
Chinese think English fires very uncivi-
lized-so destructive to furniture and so
apt to smoke. "Their way Of getting
warm is to add jacket over jacket and
skirt over skirt, and when sitting quiet
to embrace little charcoal burner hid

ly Set Forth,
The evolution of the daily press into
more than newspaper is forced by
public expectation and custom. It is to
u majority of people. at least on this
continent, the sole library. Unjust salts

who merely wants to know if stocks
have risen since yesterday or whether
Senegambia and Bolivia have gone to
war overnight.
Matthew Arnold said, with sus-
piciOn of tears III his voice, that if he
lived something like so years longer
than he expected to; he would probably
be the only man in Great Britain who
would be found reading books. He took
pn extreme and rather pessimistic view.
AS n matter of fact the press has been
largely instrumental in encouraging the
reading of good books, and while it en-

he lived apart from men and studied ma

the times. Read the eternities. But he
lived in day when tho press was small,
of little influence and servile. In his
own state it supported the demands of

and it was first and last mere record
of the days doings.
But the press Of this day is more than
record. 1t is mirror of the world IS
thoughts and intentions, critic, q

news pages are glanced at, and attention
is bestowed OH the contents that exhibit
deliberation, research and scholarship.
There is Us good writing and as pur-
poseful and helpful writing in tho daily

zines of the first half of our century be-

purpose. 1t is not for more display of
style, but to accomplish the betterment
of governments, of society, of institu-

right causes. to encourage industry,
thrift, honor and content The condition
of the world in our century without the

aster the arms Of Italy have met in
fighting with King Menelek's army.
His description of the death in battle of
King John, King Menelek's predecessor,
Is worth quoting as showing the BRAY
cry of the tribe. The battle was at CAL
labat and the Abyssinians were the at
kacking party. Their army was di-
vided into two portions, one made up Of
Kiug johns own tribes, the Tgre, to-
Rether with Menelek's troops, and the
other of the Amhara tribes legions.

King John had almost reached the de-
fenses he was struck by. q bullet. which,
breaking his right arm above the elbow,
entered the body. The courageous man.
declaring that his injury wasofn no coase-
quence, continued urging on his men, but
soon fell back unconscious on his couch,
and was carried to the rear by his foiA
lowers, who had suffered great loss.
The news that he was wounded spread
among his troops like wildffre; and,
though on the point of success, they
retired. On the evening OF the 9th OF
March. 1889, King John expired in his
tent. An effort was made to keep his
death secret, but the news gradually
leaked out and the Amhara, deserting
the camp in the night with all their
loot, returned to their homes. N. =.

Dyspeptlc Oranges.


A mysterious disease which has at
tackled many orange trees in Florida has
been discovered to be indigestion. The
department of agriculture in its "Year
Book" pays special attention to dyspep-
tic oranges, and describes the disease
and it's cure. Its cause is the same as
that which SO often brings on disease
in human beings overfeeding. Excess
sive cultivation and too much nitro
genous manure affect the orange tree
just as too much heavy table d'hote
dinners affect man. Instead of look
ing pale and taking pepsin tablets, how
ever, the orange tree turns very dark
green, and reddish brown sap exudes
from the twigs. The tips turn up and
shape themselves into S-hkc curves.
The fruit turns q lemon yellow color
before it is half ripe, and has Q very
thick rind. AS it ripens, the fruit splits
open and become worthless. The
reddish brown resin gets on the fruit
before it is ripe and renders it unsal-
able.-Kansas City Journal.

The influence Of winds ON Vegetation.

The influence OF WINDS on ' SeBotSsAOAA"
At g. meeting of the interEat tional
meteorological congress- report OF
which has recently been published
considerable attention was given to tts,
effect of winds. 1t states that the de-
struction of the forests is responsible
for many of the cold waves which we
experience. Special mention is made OF
the disappearance of peach trees from
Michigan, which is said to be trace able
directly to the deforestatior OF the
state and the uninterrupted rush OF
cold winds. The hot, sweeping winds
of the plains, known as desiccatlng
winds, are held accountable for q loss
of something like 21,0O0,000 bushels
of corn in the state of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind
breaking forests allows these desiccat-
ing winds to sweep over many miles
OF cultivated land. These winds may
reach a temperature of 10s or 109 de-
erees, with humidity not over 20 or
Is per cent. at the outside. This report
recommends extensive planting Of tim

Women on Wheels In War.

One of London's daily papers recently
published letter signed: "a Colonel's
Wife," in which the proposition is made
in all seeming seriousness that should
the prophecies of continental combina-
tions against England be realized, the
duties of the army in the rear may be
performed by lady cyclist orderlies.
The coloners wife announces herself
prepared to assist in the organization
of lady cyclist corps. to help resist
our many enemies" Womankind has
no means of knowing how England
will receive such a proposition, but in
America, for the most part, woman is
willing to let man, the devil. and
dynamite do the killing, and she busies
herself in caring for the wounded. or
in sending Clara Barton to rescne
the oppressed deserted by civilization.
