was expensive, and he opened a sand
pit of his own. Contractors demanded
large sums, and he bought horses, and
himself helped to fill the sand carts.
Then, water being scarce, he threw a
dam across a ravine, which the rains
filled for him. All this time he taught
mathematics for five hours a day in the
Cincinnati university. The corner
stone of this historic observatory was
laid by John Quincy Adams. Seventy
six years old and in feeble health, he
made the arduous journey from Wash
ington, and delivered a classic grafton
of two hours to the enthusiastic crowds
who climbed Mt. Adams in a drench-
ing rain to hear him. Professor Nit
chells patriotism was not scholarly
alone. When the Civil War broke out
he led an army corps into the South,
won great fame as a general, and was
fatally stricken in the swamps with
yellow fever. Thus died "Old Stars"
as his soldiers affectionately and an
propriately called him; man undis-
mayed by any danger or difficulty. and
nobly devoted to high aims. He was
the first of the now long roll of Ameri-
can astronomers to win distinction
abroad The original observatory on
Mt. Adams, which he built so largely
with his own hands, has just been de-
molished as unsafe; but the newer
building, which bears his name, keeps
guard on a neighboring hilltop, and is
loyalty supported by the city the fair
name Of which he made famous in
European courts and universities a
lifetime ago.-Youth's Companion

scendants of the Manchu conquerors
and their allies. says the Tribune's
Washington correspondent. The num-
Der maintained on a war footing is
from $4,000 to 100 000 The whole force
is subdivided into three groups, con-
sisting respectively of Manchus, Mon
gols and Chinese, and forms sort of
hereditary profession, within which
intermarriage is compulsory. About
$4,000 are stationed in garrisons in
Manchuria; the imperial guard at Pc

these are the troops that were expected
to defend the foreign legations and
protect foreign interests from the
mobs.

sists of eighteen corps, one for each

is from $4,000 to 100000 men, of whom
about 100000 are available for war,
never more than one-third being called

The most important contingent is
the Tientsin army corps, nominally
100000 strong, really about $4,000,
with modern organization, drill and

At an Election and Jurors at Trial
Come to Blows.
Boise (Idaho) Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean: A story of a very unusual pro-
ceeding comes from Weiser A good
deal of feeling had been worked up
over a local election, in which the
women, who can vote in this state,
took a deep interest. On election day
the women were thick about the polls,
and two Of them, Mrs. Martinson and
Miss Harris, INDUCED in a heated dis
cussion over the merits of their re-
speetive candidates. The argument
was brought to a close by Mrs. Martin
son saying: IF l was running for Of
flee and found a withered-up, china
faced hag like you was working for
me, would not vote for myself" The
words had scarcely left her lips
when Miss Harris reached over and
clawed the veil and a lot of skin from
Mrs. Martinson's face. Mrs. Martinson
responded by giving her antagonist
resounding slap in the face. The wom-
en- then clinched, and such hair-pull-
ing and scratching was never witnessed
in that unusually quiet village. 1t was
all over in a few seconds. The COM
batants were Separated and led off,
their faces zig-zagged with scratches.
Each woman had the other arrested,
and Mrs. Martinson's trial came on
first. A woman jury heard the testi-
mony, and retired to deliberate. Be-
fore a great while the bailiff heard
screaming inside the jury room. Fore
ing the door he witnessed a free-for-all
mix-up among the jurors, who, it de-
veloped, were strong friends of the
woman under arrest The officer quiet
ed the jurors after a great deal of
trouble, and they filed into court a
sorry-looking aggregation, reporting a
disagreement. The bailiff picked up
bucketful of hat pins, switches, ribbons
and other feminine adornments. The
judge reprimanded the women and
turned both the women loose. Feel
ing still runs high in Weiser it is said,
and the attendance at church socials
has been reduced about one-half.

(Wichita. Kan, letter.

Miss Mile Daniels, a pretty school
miss of Wilson district, Nemaha coun-
ty, in the western part of Kansas, has
adopted unique scheme to make her
scholars attend school, and at the
closing exercises held Monday the
board of directors unanimously de-
cided she should have the school for
another two years as a reward for her
earnest efforts. Whenever a student
attends school one whole week with
out being tardy or absent she kisses
that student, whether male or female.
If the student is tardy only once or
absent once she allows that student to
kiss her. All students who disobey
this standard are ruled out of the kiss
ing match.
The kisses are given and taken
every Friday afternoon. Needless to
say the young men do not play
"hooky' on that day. There are sixty
five pupils at the Wilson district
school. Four years ago Miss Daniels
went there from Illinois. She was a
good teacher, but the students, most
ly boys, were hopeless victims of the
"hooky" habit. Try as she would the

The Taku forts, occupied by the in
ternational forces, just forty-one years
ago were the scene of an episode which
gave the world that famous phrase,
BLOOD is thicker than water"
A British fleet of eleven small gun
boats, under Admiral Hope, was en-
gagged in an assault on the mud bat
teries lust inside the Pei-ho river bar
on June %, 1859, when the tide went
down and left them helpless in the
\ mud under the fire of the Chinese
smoothbores.
Capt Tatnall, the flag officer COM
manding the United States China
squadrcn, which was anchored off the
bar, nominally guarding American in
terests, perceiving the plight of the
British Admiral, lowered his barge and
with his flag lieutenant and twenty
men rowed mp the river to show the
Englishman how TO point his guns. The
flag lieutenant, Stephen Decatur
Trenchard, was badly wounded and
one man in the barge was killed in
passing through the fire from the forts.
Once on board. however, the British
guns were so well served by the Amer
leans that the forts were silenced and
Tatnall himself piloted the gunboats
by a channel he had discovered until
they found the protection Of the feet
outside.
Tatnalrs action was regarded by the
authorities at Washington as tanta-
mount to disobedience Of orders. as he
had been strongly cautioned by his
government to preserve neutrality and
limit his activity solely to the protec-
ton of Americans. He was detached
from command and brought home, and
did not serve on an American ship
thereafter.
From carefully prepared information
at the war department, the Chinese
army, called the Fight Banners

The report of the educational coun-
Gil of the Iowa State Teachers asso-
citation answers the question: what
shall be done with incorrigible and
neglected children?" 1t makes recon-
mendations that are along the usual
lines, but they are interesting, as they
form a summary of all the generally
approved suggestions for the improve
ment OF this class of the population.
The council urges the general
strengthening of the parental respon-
sibility and of the discipline or the
home. The schools should emphasize
those subjects and methods that tend
to Srengthen character, and give more
place to music, art, literature, history,
manual training and gymnastics.

Cat Made Him Homesicl..

If you have ever been away from
home for long time, with nothing in
sight to remind you of the "old place."
you will readily understand the feel
ings of the Alaskan miner referred to
in the following extract from a letter
sent from the Yukon: I'VE have a cat
here about whom a funny incident
happened the other day. There came
into our office an old miner. who had
not been outside for eight years, hav-
ing been at Forty Mile and Circle be-
fore the Klondike was struck. Holy
Moses!' he cried. when he saw the
cat, that's the first cat I've seen for
six years. Say, officer, would you mind
my stroking it?' So l asked him in,
and he played with the cat for some
time. When he started to go he said:
My! that cat do make me feel home
sick!' Various people have offered us
$50 and 500 for Tim. but K won't
part with him at any price. There are
three cats to my knowledge in Daw-
son City and one at Circle City, twenty
miles north of here, but do not know
of any others in this part Of the coun-
try. They are no earthly use, but 1
believe a man could make money by
bringing them out as curiosities."

Chances in War.

War is not such dangerous game as
people think. In spite of all efforts to
annihilate each other, enemies do com
paratively slight damage. During the
Franco-German war, with its scores of
battles on vast scale, only 1872 men
in each 1000 were killed and 10S
wounded, while AZ per 1000 were miss
ing. Thus any soldier engaged had
about nine chances to one that he
would not get scratch, and over fifty
chances 10 one that he would not be
killed Most of the wounds received
were slight-that is to say, one-fourth
of all the wounds were severe, and
three-fourths were slight. But it is
surprising how small wound disables
a man and knocks him out of the
