Mayor w. c. Graichen, of Win
chester, has taken a decided stand
against the public preaching and
the individual proselyting by
MOrmOns in that place. On
August 1st two Mormon elders
applied for a permit to preach on
the streets. 1t was promptly
denied them, and they then asked
to be allowed to go'from house to
house to eXpound the doctrine of
the Latter Day Saints. Mayor
Graichen replied that he would
not consent to this, and if they at
tempted in any way to preach their
doctrines they would be immedi-
ately arrested. Chief Seabright
issued orders later to this
effect, but the Mormons say they
will rent a hall and will preach in
it, as well as do individual work
in Winchester.

All the mountains of Japan are OF
unquestioned volcanic origin, and Full
stands where Hondo, the main island,
Is broadcast. About twenty craters are
still active throughout the islands, but
Fuji-san belongs to the much greater
number which are now inactive. Its
last eruption occurred in 1907. contin.
uing more than a month. As far away
as Tokyo, sixty miles northeast, the
ashes fell to a depth of seven or eight
inches, while on the TokaidO, twelve
or fifteen miles southeast, the accu-
mutation was six feet. At this time
was formed Ho-yei-san, a secondary,
or parasitic. cone on the southeast
slope.
No other mountains in Japan reach
within 5000 feet of the elevation of
Fuji, and 1t Is therefore in prominent
view from an immense area, including
thirteen provinces Of the empire. Ger
tain venue In Tokyo are called Full
mi, or Fuji viewing streets, and from
all Of them the famous peak is a glori-
Sus spectacle. All winter long the sum-
nit of Fuji-san is unapproachable, and
from November to July SHOWS reign
supreme. In the latter month. how
ever. when the trails up the mountain
slopes are laid bare, the ascent be-
comes feasible and remains SO through
out the summer and early autumn.

A very ordinary looking nurse was
exhibiting the new born sister to six
year-old BERTHE.
"Look at the sweet little baby, my
dear! Is she not pretty?"
But BERTHE, who has been made pain
fully aware from the servants Of the
household that the new arrival will
usurp his past privileges as an only
child, exclaimed with secret exulta-
ton:
"Auntie says that pretty babies grow
up ugly"
Maybe they do" assented the nurse.
unable to forbear a smile.
But the smile was lost upon BERTHE.
He stood for a moment in meditative
mood, and then, glancing up from his
contemplation Of baby's features to
those Of the nurse, he said with child
ish confidence:
Nurse, you must have been a very
pretty baby"

to learn the extent of eye diseases in the
schools Of Manhattan. appointed twelve
specialists to go as far as they could in
the fortnight of the school year then re-
naming. They examined 55,470 children in
Sc schools, and learned that no less than
$3.50, or u per cent. exhibited contagious
eye diseases.
"Of these 2,S2S were of the severest type
of trachona, necessitating almost immed-
late operation. In the opinion of the ex-
aminers all Of these children should be
excluded from the schools to prevent fur
Their infection"
The commissioner asked that a room
be set apart in each building suitable
for medical operations. To this the board
agreed. Several of the members ex-
pressed an opinion, however. that the re-
ports Of the special examiners had been
grossly exaggerated.
