Teach Children ECONOMY.

Teach children not to waste trifes
which they often throw away without
thought, and which if saved might be
of use to others if not to themselves.
Wrapping paper, pieces of Irvine, odds
and ends of various kinds may do SER
vice a second time if put away until the
need for them arises. The habit of
economy is one that ought to be cult
waited, for careful saving makes lavish
giving possible. Hoarding is not vice
aged, but the wise outstanding of re-
sources for future expenditure is a val
liable lesson that cannot be learned too
early.-Ladies' Home Journal.

A Colossal Image of Buddba.

A most extraordinary piece of work
is the colossal image of Buddha at
Kamakura, one of the ancient capt.
tails of Japan. The image is construc-
ted of copper, tin and gold, and where
it has been FURNISHED by contact, the
metal is ruddy brown, but the gen.
eral surface is weather-stained with in
crustations of green mould where the
massive parts were welded together.
The height is 40 feet, inches; the cir
cumstances of the head, 81 feet; the
width of tn face from ear to ear 10
feet, and its length, from the tip of
the chin to the edge of the curling hair,
8 feet 8 inches. The eye is feet long,
the ear feet 6 inches, the nose feet
9 inches, and the mouth feet inches.
There are $50 curls on the head. The
circumference of the thumb is 8 feet.
The eyes are of pure gold, and weigh
80 pounds each. The idol was erected
in 1895, and within the image is ten-
pie over 40 feet in height, with an altar
and other accessories of worship. The
Kamakura image is worshipped an
nually by millions of Buddhists from
India, Burma, China, and Corea, as
well as by those in Japan.

Ventura County Crops.

According to the Ventura Democrat,
the crops of Ventura county, this sea-
son, will fall far below the average.
Except on irrigated soil, the bean,
corn and beet crops will be very light
where they are not an entire failure.
The grain yield is comparatively small
and hay is about a half crop. There
are practically no peaches or prunes,
and the apple crop is exceedingly light.
English walnuts, however, never
promised a heavier output. The trees
as a rule are loaded and the nuts,
generally, the largest ever produced in
that section.

ern California respecting the pomelo

crops at an early age. In a publica-
ton, Culture of the Citrus in Cali

For medicinal purposes it leads all

Victory Not Always on the Side of
the Heaviest RattaIious

victory NOT Always on the side or
the Heaviest Batta1ions.
When Napoleon said Providence is
always on the side of the strongest bat
talions" he proved the falsity of his
own precept on his last battlefield. 1t
is not without interest to see how this
applied in some of the worlds great
attles. At Marathon there were 200,-
600 Persians confronting II, 600 Greeks,
The Persian army was routed and the
invasion of Greece was ended.
NerXes moved on Greece with his
army of millions. Leonidas with his
immortalS met them at Thermopylae
and held the Persians in check, but not
until the heroic Spartan and his follow
ers were killed. Subsequently, at Sala-
mis-, Themistocles met the Persians in
a naval battle. XerXes watched the
struggle from distance and wept over
the destruction of his army. Under
HeZekiah Jerusalem was menaced by
$4,000 Assyrians who threatened to
ruin the city. Not one Assyrian soldier
saw Jerusalem. At Gaugamela Alex
ander the Great, with 1900 men,
fought 100000 Persians under Darius.
The Persians were routed and Darius
assassinated by one of his satraps.
The siege of Jerusalem was the
gloomiest event in the history of man.
kind. In A. d. 20 the temple of Herod
! was just completed. The Jews were
never so naughty and so patriotic. They
| were never so disorganized. Innumer-
able factions divided them. But the
| feast of the Passover and the common
danger enabled Vespasian and Titus to
shut them up in the city. John and ST.
mon, their partisan leaders, hated each
other as cordially as they hated the
Romans. When their followers were
not fighting one another during the
siege they were opposing the Romans.
Vespasian and Titus cast trenches
about the city, not one stone was left
upon another of their beautiful temple,
as the Savior predicted, and 100000
Jews persisted in that awful holocaust.
In the Russian campaign Napoleon
lost 475,O00 men. His legions melted
and died under the falling snowflakes
The naval battle of Lepanto between
the Christians and Don John of Austria
and the Turks was one of the fiercest
contests of the middle ages. The Chris
tians numbered $4,000 and the Turks
10000 men. The Turkish fleet was de-
stroyed, its commander killed and the
Moslem naval power was crushed OF
the Mediterranean.
At Waterloo Wellington had 10000
men and 159 cannon. Napoleon con
fronted him with 10000 men and 24(
cannon. Napoleon claimed he had Wei
lington in his grasp. But he was facing
destiny. A rainstorm of the night be
fore wrought havoc with the move
ments of his artillery. Grouchy failed
to come up. According to Victor Hugo
the sunken road of Cham ruined thu
