American Cries Only.

London, Glasgow, Manchester and
many other British cities regulate
transparencies, electric-fiash signs, sky
signs and the size Of letters permiss-
ible in potters. Dover, England. re-
quires license for all street signs not
contained within a window. France
and Belgium tax street signs. 1t Is
only American cities that permit
themselves to be blotched all over with
huge signs and cut up with immense
fences to accommodate them.-St.

equal fascination. No one who has
been in the real Japan which lies out
side the treaty ports and the foreign
hotels and railways, ever could or
ever would forget his experience. No
one, If he could, would ever fail to
return. The great secret Of this charm
lies with the people themselves. They
have made fine art of personal rela-
tions. Their acts are those Of good
taste and good humor. Two cities of
about the same size and relative i'm
portance are Paris and Tokyo. No
two could show greater contrast in
spirit, says David Stan Jordan in HUI
manitarian. Both are, in sense,
cities of pleasure. Tokyo is city OF
continuous joyousness, little pleasures
drawn from simple things, which leave
no sting and draw nothing from flu
ture happiness. Paris is feverish and
feels the difference in the morning"
and the "hard, fierce lust and cruel
deed" which go with the search for
pleasure that draws on the future for
the joys Of the present.
No one who catches the spirit OF
Paris can fail to miss the underlying
sadness, the pity of 1t all. The spirit
of Tokyo-not of all Tokyo, but Of its
life as whole-is as fresh as the song
of birds, as Sweet as children's pratt
tie is" and it is good to be under it's
spell.

Lord Kitchener. Demands.

Lord kncbsner'I Demands.
It is evident that the British War
office is confronted with disconcert-
ing problem. The official announce
ment has been made that Lord Kitch-
ener has asked for $4,000 more sea-
soned and mounted men to crush the
Beers and the disaffected Cape Dutch.
The commander-in-chief also demands
the plenary power to hang rebels,
traitors and murderers without refer
ence to the home government. Ac-
cording to his recent proclamation all
Beers found with arms after Sept. y15
may be included under this category.
The idea of allowing Lord Kitchener
to hang prisoners of war is repugnant
to the British people, as it Is to the
rest Of the civilized world, yet 1t IL be-
lieved that his demands are in the ma
ture of an ultimatum to the War Of
fee. Goaded by the humiliation Of re-
cent defeats he threatens to resign un-
less he Is allowed to C. ush the Beers
by his own methods.

Present Ruler of China.

Kwang-Su formerly known as Tsai-
Tien, is the ninth Emperor of China
of the Manchu dynasty of Using, which
overthrow the native dynasty Of Ming
in 1914. He was born in 1871, and at
that time nobody supposed that there
was the slightest chance of his sue
ceeding to the throne. His predeces-
sor, Tung- Che, died in 1875, and the
empress dowager and the Manchurian
Princess held a meeting and selected
Tsai-Tien, son of Prince Chung, as
successor to the throne. Prince Chung
was the seventh brother of the EN-
peror Hen Fung. There is no doubt
that Tsai-Tien was made Emperor be-
cause OF his extreme youth, and the
consequent fact that there would be
a long minority during which the dow.
ager empress would be nominal as well
as actual ruler. However, he was
chosen, and the name Kwang-Su, OF
Glorious Successor" was given tc
him. His education was conducted by
the supposedly wisest man of the en-
pire and when he was fifteen years old
he was married to bride chosen by
the dowager empress. Immediately
after his marriage Kwang-Su formally
assembled the throne with much cere-
mony, but he has been cipher in the
affairs of the nation ever since, and on
only very rare occasions has ever been
allowed to receive the foreign minis
tiers. The dowager empress is the real
ruler.-Indlanapolis News.

Mr.. GoSe,s Surplus Plan.

Secretary Gage is said to have
thought out with great care plan
for keeping the surplus revenues OF
the government in circulation. The
plan as reported is. in brief, to make
all the national banks in all clearing
house cities public repositories and to
deposit all the government receipts In
them, prorating on the basis OF their
capital and other available assets, the
government claim in each case to be
a first lien on all the assets OF the
bank. Mr.. Gage would require the
banks to pay interest-say at the rate
of per cent-on the government de-
posits, and require no security beyond
the first lien on assets.-Chicago

are the telegraph room and larger
apartment where the routine work Is
carried on. The small room in the
southeast corner Is used by the Presi-
dents private secretary, while the
large room adjoining is the office Of
the President. Adjoining the Presi-
dents Office is the room where cabi-
net meetings are held, handsomely
frescoed and furnished. and contain
Ing a number Of private portraits.
The private apartm ents, which are

screen door at the tight Of the public
stairway, are reached by long CORR
dor. The first one is the library, a
beautiful oval room, which serves as
the family sitting room, and, with Its
books and pictures, is the cbeeriest
and most home-lke of all the apart

which still retains its old-fashioned
grandeur of canopied bed and crimson
satin hangings. The bedrooms on the
north are usually set apart for guests,
although the northwest room was &C.
cupied by President and Mrs. Cleve-
land during their first residence.
1t has long BEEN seen that the pres
ent White House is entirely inadequate
to the social. domestic and business
necessities which are enjoined on the
President, and 1t is not improbable
that some changes will be effected
during President Roosevel.'s admins
tration.

heart talk regarding the changes
which five years have wrought in their
careers. Five years ago President
Roosevelt was out of business, both
as civil service commissioner and as a
member of the police board Of New
York.
Leonard Wood was then only an as
sistant surgeon in the regular army
with the rank of captain. The ad-
vent of the Mckinley administration
worked wonders for both men. DR..
Wood was selected as the presidents
physician, and this gave him promi-
nence he might not have secured after
years of faithful service in an obscure
position. Theodore Roosevelt. after
considerable of a campaign, was ap-
pointed assistant secretary Of the
navy. When the war broke out Roose-
welt himself conceived the idea Of or
ganjzing a Rough Rider regiment. but
chose Wood as the colonel instead of
taking the place himself.
Today Wood is brigadier general
in the regular army and governor gen.
eral of Cuba. He is so young that in
the ordinary course he is destined to
become lieutenant general in command
of the army of the United States. His
former lieutenant colonel is now presi-
dent Of the United States, and 1t was
perfectly natural that the two men
should put in a little time in
solemn contemplation Of the swift
ness with which Providence works at
times.

Queen Anne has again fallen on evil

state of affairs reproduces the condi-
lions under which the cd statue be-

WEDNESDAY. NOV. o, Ieos.
Raising Wheat.

Following arc conclusions arrived
at by the Arkansas experiment sta
tion in regard to wheat raising:
1. Breaking the soil deeper than 8
inches does not increase the yield Of
wheat, while below 8 inches the
yield decreases as the depth of
breaking decreases.
2. Thorough disking followed by
rolling seems to be the best prepara-
tion for wheat just before it is sown.
3. Thorough preparation gave All
Increased yield Of so per cent over
poor preparation.
4. Thorough preparation Of the
seed bed diminishes winter killing.
S. Thorough preparation Of the
seed bed diminishes the bad effects
of drouth.
6. Five or six pccks of seed per
acre gave the most profitable yields.
Z. Growing such legumcs as COW
peas, sofa beans and beggar weeds
on light sandy soil deficient in humus
increased the yield of following
crop of wheat 56.5 per cent.
8. The stubblc of legumes plowcd
under gave almost invariably a
better field than the whole plant
plowed under to the subsequent
crop when the latter is planted a
short time after legumcs were plowed
under.
8. Flowing under large quantity
Of green material just before plant
ing seemed to exert directly in
furious effect upon the subsequent
crop.
10. Cowpeas sown after harvesting
rye and Irish potatoes increased the
subsequent crop Of wheat 80 per
cent when compared with that sown
after Irish potatoes and rye not fol
lowed by cowpeas.
II. Wheat grown continuously on
the same ground for three years and
each crop preceded by crop of
cowpcas gave an increased yield of
4G.7 per cent is compared with
breaking the wheat stubblc and not
sowing peas.
II. Fertilizing cowpeas with 200
pounds Of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of muriatc potash increased
the yield Of wheat that followed 5S
per cent.
l3. Wheat sown upon cowpca
stubblc plowcd under and fortified
with 400 pounds of a complete fer
tilizer gave an average yield Of 64.4
per cent and 1875 per cent increased
yield the second year over soil
treated only in tho usual way.
II. Early Ripe, India Swamp,
Purple straw, Pool, Red May, Red
Wonder and Tennessee Fultz arc
the varieties that have given the
best results.
