Debate Good for China.

from the Snen Sao.
China's poverty and weakness is not
owing to the badness Of China's customs,
but to the fact that tho temper Of the
community is not yet enlightened. The
upper classes do not know that other lands
are enlightened, the lower classes are
wicked and fond OF doing only that which
is convenient, and do not know the doo-
trines Of the five continents. Hence there
is a lamentable absence OF unity among
the provinces. 1t will take ten years bee
fore he~good fruits OF schools and educa~
tional societies viii be seen. Meantime
there is one plan which we think could be
used with great advantage, viz, discussions
or debate. In foreign lands they may have
special public meetings for the discussion
Of great national questions, or regulaf
meetings for all kinds Of discussions In
China the first public meeting Of the kind
was held In Chang Su-ho's gardens to dis-
cuss the secret treaty with Russia about
the Manchurian provinces. There were
many able speakers and joint telegram
was dispatched by the meeting. and tha
result was the scheme Of our enemies was
defeated. Western newspapers were unanis
nous in praise Of our public spirit. From
this 1t will be seen that public discussions
are fraught with tremendous power for
good.

SILK Culture In America.

It is remarkable that, while America has
excelled every other country In many lines

silk industry has lansuished here. except
In occasional spots. for go years. Why
American ingenuity has not turned it's ats
tention to facilities and inventions for mans
ufacturing silk. from the planting Of muis
berry trees for food for the worm to the
highest development in textile manufactur-
ing. Is difficult to understand. unless 1t b.
that nature has been 20 prodigal Of hef
gifts that have been 20 advantageouslH

business has remained In allegiance. ThQ

prices that attach to II and the increased
wealth OF the American people to be exs

The Rock Creek Stars met and defeated
the Eastern Buds Sunday by the tune of

allowing only a few scattered hits to be
made off his delivery. The Stars put up
clean fielding game, both in the infield and
outfield, the kind that makes the sport in

Sportsmen Tell What They Should
and Should Not Do

SportSmen I ell what hey Should
and Should Not Do
A well-lonown man of this place,
has had plenty of experience in hand
ling shotgun gives the following
advice ito reckless hunters who are de-
sfrous of terminating their existence:
When You come to fence pace che
barrel OF your gun through beneath it
first Then crawl under take the weap-
on by the muzzle and draw it quickly
toward you. This seldom fails
If the mode described fails to bring
results, climb upon a stump, rest the
stock of the gun upon the edge of il
and iean your chin upon the muzzle.
This plan is approved by all who have
tried it.
Always drag your gun out of boat
by the muzz,e. The weapon should be
loaded at such times with cartridges
for ducks
In case you cannot secure results
yourself get somebody else TO do the
job When you find thick clump of
bushes surrounded by a dozen hunters
get into the thickest portion of it and
remain there until rabbit is started.
This is a good plan
In sections where deer abound the
guides have discovered a killing mode.
They simply wear cOOn-skin cap and
then go ont into the woods where a
few city men are hunting for deer. The
cap looks like the side of a deer
through the bushes and if it fails to
attract a bullet to the spot where il
win do the most good there are no
dude hunters in that country. This
plan is much in vogue up in Maine.
II the man ahead of you going
through thick bushes carries his gun
over his shoulder With the hammers
raised always keep as close as possible
A twig viii surely do the business
There are other methods. but the
foregoing will usually meet all de
marda.
