JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

Immigration to this country from ia.
pan has brought a higher class with the
the laborers, n one whose coming is a
compliment to our educational system.
Education is relatively hard to get in
Japan. where wages are so low that a,
student cannot afford to support himself
and go to school. too. But the public
schools in San Francisco and the two
great universities at Berkeley and Palo
Alto are free to them, and ambitious
young men of the upper classes nave been
glad to come to California, where they
could worw as servants in private house,
holds and hotels while preparing to take
their degrees. To such an extent does
this practice prevail that two years ago
it was estimated that there We're 5000
Japanese seeking education in California
alone.
Only bout 1926 were on the whole Pa
ci1c coast in 1890. In the next two years

more came by the way of Victoria and
the nortehrn ports. The arrivals in San

GREEN NOT A REsTFuL COLOR.

Green is popularity supposed to be the
color which best protects the eye. but a
German professor denies that it has any
beneficial effect whatever, and declares
that green newspapers. green glasses,
green umbrellas are all a mistake. His
theory is, at all events, plausible. 1t is
that each different color tires a differ
ent set of nerves of vision, and. therefore
looking at one particular color saves one
set of nerves at the expense of another.
The best method, he points put, is - dim
all the rays of light by smoked or gray
glasses, which rest all the optic nerves.

ITALY'S PROBLEMS.
By francesca Crispi.

The house of Savoy has a historical
mission in italy. Charles Albert granted
the constitution, and offered himself as
a voluntary sacrifice for italian inde-
pendence. Victor Emmanuel accom-
plished the great work of the italian
Union, and led Italy to Rome, depriving
the pope of his temporal power, a most
daring act for a Catholic sovereign.
King Humbert maintained intact this
precious patrimony OF political liberties
by resisting the audacious or impudent

Atoka Land Office Matter.

Atoka, L. T., Aug. 2O.-S. B.
Scratch of this place received a
letter from Hon. Tams Bixby,
dated at Muskogee, August II,
stating that the reason that the
land Office would not be opened
here on Sept. l, as previously an
nOunced, was on account of a pro.
test made by the governors of the
Choetaw and Chickasaw nations,
they not wanting it done until the
survey of all lands was completed.
He added:
You understand, therefore,
that the date of the opening of
such office to be somewhat indefi-
mite, but it will be done at the very
earliest date possible. " He also
told Mr.. Scratch to go ahead and
build a vault and get the building
ready, as the matter had been re-
ferred to the secretary of the inte-
rior for his consideration and upon
the receipt of instructions from
him immediate action will be taken.
