The popular tradition that no mule
ever died a natural death is based
largely on fact. Mules are drowned,
they fall from bridges, they are ex-
ploded by dynamite, and they die in
battle as did the gallant creature at
Matanzas, but they seldom expire
peacefully in lots or in their own sta
bles surrounded by home comforts OF
fodder and straw bed. In Arkan-
sas it is the common belief that when
mules have done their appointed work
they dry up and blow away.

Japan has made what seems to be
serious mistake. A censor of re-
ligions has been appointed, who is to
be in absolute control of all matters
pertaining to religious worship. As
there are large numbers of American
and European residents in japanese
cities, this new regulation will likely
lead japan into difficulties with other
nations, unless the censor be man
of exceptional liberation and good
Judgment.

Over-irrigation, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture, re-
suits in excessive alkali in certain
soils in California and Utah. The
water applied to the soil seems to
bring the salts to the surface when it
rises, and in some instances the lower
portions of streams have been rem
dered alkaline by the return of these
salts from the irrigated fields. Ex-
periments are now being made to find
the least quantity of water that can
be used under these conditions. and
for given crops in given localities.
One advantage of such demonstra-
ton is that more land can be watered
from a given source with greater
economy in the use of water.

Mr.. Curtis, of the Chicago Record,
writing Of the unfortunate Hobson
kissing incidents, gives a very true
picture of the Merrimac hero as he
is. He says he is a queer person, =
that he is an egotist, that he has
never been a lady's man and that
his mind, ''as we'll as his methods,
are decidedly original, and, while
thereis no more question ofhis ablli-
ty than there is of his courage, his
ideas are frequently impracticable. "
Curtis alludes to his speech-mak-
ing powers, a fact which was noted
while he was in Nashville, when he
made three extemporaneous speech
es in the Same day and, to quote
what Curtis says of a similar feat
in Atlanta, never repeated an idea.
''Hobson, he says, ''neyer made a
speech in his life until a meeting
was held in Carnegie Hall last sum
mer to raise money for the families
OF the soldiers killed at Santiago.
Those who had been intimately as
sociated with him all his life ex-
pected on that occasion that he
would simply getup andmake allow
and blush. But he spoke for half
an hour with great self-possession,
a fine display of language and con-
siderable dramatic power.
The reason he is being sent to
Manila, according tothis correspon-
dent, is because the Secretary of
the Navy did not know what else to
do with him. He is SO erratic as
to be worthless forthe ordinary du-
ties of an officer son board a man-of-
war, and his originality and ego
tism make him theobject ofconstant
in the construction bur
reau.
