JAPAN's DEMOCRATIC EMPEROR.

There is no barbaric splendor about
the court Of Japan, nor does the en-
peror insist on fantastic forms of hon.
age. He is just plain individual. His
guests he receives standing, and he en-
ters freely into conversation with all.
There is scarcely a subject that does
not interest him, or one on which he is
not we'll informed. a delightful host,
it is his custom to surround himself
with clever men-men who are the shin
ing lights of their professions. Engi-
neers, artists, musicians, writer's, SOL
diers, scientists-every class of person
who has won distinction, is welcome at
the royal table, for it is one of the char
acteristics of his majesty that in the
distribution of his favOrs he is tho
roughly impartial

MILLIONS IN DEAD LETTERS.

LONDON, August 15.-The annual re-

that the large total of 1886, 900 was
found in letters undelivered during the
past year. The undelivered letters to-
tailed no less than 100000, while the
delivered missiVes amounted to 2,451,-
5000 an average of $50 for each per-

that fresh experiments with motor cars
showed that they cannot be relied upon
to carry heavy loads of mail matter
with the same regularity as wagons

A GOOD STOCK COUNTRY.

Stretching across the northern por-
tions of the states of Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Minnesota is vast tract Of
country, originally pine timber land,
now denuded of its fine forests and
much of it burned over so that all ma
tive vegetation has been literally burn
ed out--a wild, desolate and uninviting
region-but good soil is there over
much of the territory and certain
annual rainfall Of from twenty-five to
thirty inches, conditions under which
all our native grasses will find con-
genial home. and if these grasses will
grow stock can be profitably kept, and
if stock can be kept it means settle
ment and prosperity for that country.
Much of 1t Is also splendid fruit
country, where the apple will find its
most congenial home. Markets are
close by, transportation by rail and
lake easy of access. These lands are
worth looking into by men desiring
cheap farms. --s-ss! 5.sis.s4y.

II Saved Her Life

Geoch's Mexicn Syrup has accomp-
lished q cure in this neighborhood
which has astonished the people.
Miss Davis was given up to die by her
attending physician. She had lung
fever. The doctor said she would die
before morning, and advised to discon-
tinue his medicine, as it was doing her
no good. Her parents had bottle of
Gooch's Mexican Syrup and Gooch's
Quick Relief In the mouse. Toey at
once began to give the Syrud in doses
one hour apart, and frequently bathed
her chest with the Quick Relief. Be-
fore morning she was better, and after
using few bottle of each, she is almost
as well as ever. 1t was almost like
raising the dead, and has established
the reputation of Gooch's Mexican Sy-
rup here as cough remedy; we can
sell nothing else.

THE CHESTER"

The ''nester," range phrase coined
to designate the homesteader who en-
tiers on a range of government land
occupied by some stockmen as pas
ture land for his herds, is a veritable
thorn in the flesh to the cattlemen.
In some cases the ''nester" is accorded
frontier treatment to force him to
leave-crops destroyed by range herds,
stock killed and house burned; in some
gases the owner himself killed. While
the coming of the actual settler no
doubt badly upsets the plans of the
stockmen, the government is right be-
hind the homesteader, and 1t may be
depended upon that wherever land is
now used for range purposes which
may be used as arabic land to produce
crops the cattlemen will have to relin-
quish in favor of the "nester.'

A BAD YEAR For rHEoRIEs.

The present season has disposed Of q
whole lot Of fanciful theories as to the
law governing droughts and rainfall.
For years past the papers have teemed
with articles based upon the assump-
ton that the destruction of the forests
of the country was diminishing the
rainfall and producing disastrous
droughts; that the drainage of the
swamp lands and shallow lakes and
the tile draining of the farms were
largely responsible for the dry weather,
and many there were who believed In
these theories. Now, here comes the
summer of 1902 with such a general
and unusual fall Of rain during a four
months period all through the Mis-
sissippi valley region that all these
fancy theories are completely exploded.
The truth is that trees grow where
rain falls, and the rain does not fall
because the trees grow. The drainage
of the soil does just as much to keep
it moist in dry time as it does to keep
1t dry in a wet one. Nothing which
man does or can do can enlarge or d.
or droughts in the smallest degree. At
best man can only modify effects Of
both, and this he can do and does by
drainage, conservation Of moisture by
proper tillage and tempering the force
and aridity of the winds by planting
forests, and by removing them can pro-
duce floods, dry up the springs, destroy
the water powers and convert forest
areas into bleak and desert territory,
but he never runs the waterworks I'M
der any circumstances. The records
Of fifty or more years show that sea-
sons or periods of extreme drought and
excessive rainfall come in cycles; like
wise seasons of extreme heat and cold.
A season which gives the exact mean
or average, of heat, cold and precipita-
ton is much rarer than one which goes
to extremes in some form or other.

SOME MISTAKES IN GROWING RAPE.

A lesson pretty well learned this sea-
son by all who have experimental with
sowing rape with crops of small grain
has been that the rape should be sown
after the grain is up and we'll out OF
the ground. Sowing at the same time,
the rape grows too fast and does seri-
Gus injury to the grain. Another thing
learned is that the sowing of rape
should be limited to the number of
head of stock which can be depended
upon to keep it well fed down-for In
stance, one acre for each twenty five
pigs, large and small, or each twenty
sheep to be fed. The crop is of no
earthly use unless it can be fed and
closely fed off. as the first frost kills
1t, and it cannot possibly be made into
hay Of any sort.

neous meat products, $12,0O0,0OO; a
grand total of $254, 100000. The best
farming there Is now done in this
country is along the line of producing
some form Of these meat products, the
soil constantly improving in fertility
under such system instead of dete-
riorating, as with grain farming and
grain selling.

chinese Can Sleep.

Generally speaking, the Chinaman is
able to sleep anywhere. None Of the
trifling disturbances which drive us to
despair annoys him. With a brick for
q pillow he can lie down on his bed
of stalks or mud bricks or rattan and
sleep the sleep Of the just, with no
reference to the rest of creation. He
does not want his room darkened, nor
does he require others to be still. The
Infant crying in the night may con-
tinue to cry for all he cares, for it does
not disturb him.
In some regions the entire population
seem to fall asleep as by common in
stinct, like that of the alternating
bear, during the first two hours Of
summer afternoons, and they do this
with regularity, no matter where they
may be. At two hours after noon the
as at two hours after midnight. In
the case of most working people at
least and also in that of many others
position in sleep is of no sort of conse-
quence.

The Grace of Adherence.

The duty of abhorring evil is one that
is general in it's nature. 1t admits Of
no exception OF favored vices. We are
very liable to excuse the sins which we
"are inclined to" while roundly con-
demning those we "have no mind to-"
1t is one of the weaknesses of poor hu
man nature that if sin is agreeable
to us we discover or invent excuses for
it. 1t is not so bad as some other sins;
indeed, in our case, it is not certain
that it is a sin at all. We have a GER
tain right to do what we would blame
others for doing or we even say to our
selves that it is merely conventional
wrong, but is in fact no real wrong.
Whatever is wrong without exception
In our own favor we ought to cultivate
the grace of abhorring it, for we may
be certain that if we allow ourselves
an easy sentiment of allowance for
any sin we have taken down the bars
to its commission and one sin being
made easy opens the way to another
and another until the conscience is
scared as with a hot iron.-Pittsburg

The origin of Many Names.

The popular terminatiOns of pet
names in earlier times were in, on, ct,
kin, cock and others. Emma was
shortened to EN-, and for loves sake
it became Emmott or Emmett. Matilda
was first Til. then Tillot Bartholomew
was Bart, then Little Bart or Bartlett.
The popularity of these pet names Is
seen in the great number of them
which eventually became family
names.
The Tillotsons. the Emmetts and the
Bartletts are numerous in England and
America, although few dream that
their names were originally pet and
not surnames. Before the use of fam
lily names it was often necessary to use
diminutive forms from the fact that
the same name was not infrequently
given to two or three children of the
same family. The original of the sur
name Robinson is the pet name Of
Robin or Little Robert.
AS Germans of today add chen to
children's names as term of endear-
ment, making Anna Annchen, Eliza
beth Lischen, so our English ancestry
used the equivalent kin. Watkin was
Little Walter, Simkin Little Simeon,
Perkin Little Peter. Examinations In
kin and cock were in use among the
lower orders-that is. among the An
glo-Saxons-while the diminutives in,
on and ct were more aristOcratic and
used by families Of Norman blood.

What Pipe Smokers Have to Fear.

=" nat ripe StHOherS nave ~ II C&AEs
Those who use the pipe have to fear
epithelioma, otherwise called the can
Ger of the lips and of the tongue. The
first of these is particularly common
among those who smoke short clay
pipes. The cancer of smokers shows
itself generally at the point where the
stem of the heated pipe is carried upon
the lower lip. That of the tongue ap-
pears on the side where q stream of
smoke is likely to strike the tongue at
each inhalation. These two forms of
a horrible disease are without doubt
the most serious that smokers can meet
with. 1t is the fear of these formida-
BILE accidents that has converted many.
The frequency of them. however,
should not be overrated. Statistics
alone can give us an idea of the truth.
Those of the city Of Paris show that
there are 155 cases each year of deaths
caused by cancer Of the mouth, while
the number of smokers in Paris itself
l estimate to be at least 355, 200. Ad-
mitting that half of these make use of
the pipe and that all of the cases Of
cancer can be attributed to them, there
is but one victim to every thousand
pipe smokers. - Revue des Deux
