Japs Want a LANGUAGE.

Japan is as sorely exercised over
her educational problems as we are.
The student there has to study the
literature of his country developed
upon Chinese lines and ideas. He has
to learn the japanese and Chinese
characters, and also at least one for
eign language. Another difficulty is
the difference between the written
and spoken languages. Formerly
they used to be almost identical. but
then came the era of Chinese litera-
ture in the country, and much of the
written language was in Chinese char
acters, while the spoken language re-
mained as before-Japanese This
state Of thing continues" The dis
use of Chinese characters altogether
is advocated, and the substitution of
the Japanese alphabet, of failing that,
Latin. 1t Is significant that in a new
school for women. English is compul-
sorry, Chinese only elective.

"Now, see what a cruel bad girl
YOU have been. You have hurt its poor
little wings, and no man can ever
mend it. God made it, and no one has
ever discovered its pattern. L can doc
tor dogs and cats and children, but l
don't know how to cure butterflies.
Put it on a flower and see if it will get
well. Dear me, what a naughty girl
you are" said Auntie Violet sadly.
Dorothy sat down ON the grass and
began to cry in a sorrowful way. and
Will tried to console her, but she
! sobbed for long time to herself. Then
she went to look for the butterfly with
the broken wing. 1t sat very still ana
quivered sometimes as if in pain. Then
she talked to it in grooming baby talk
and lifted it up tenderly and took
it in the house and put it on gerani-
um in her mothers window.
The next morning Auntie Violet was
watering the flowers and picked up the
little butterfly and took it and showed
it to the children.
"Deadr' said Auntie Violet Dead!
Poor little innocent butterfly that never
harmed anybody" And she kissed the
little white wings ana laid it away
among the flowers.
The tears came to Dorothy's eyes and
she said: do you s'pose bod will for
| give Dorothy?"
1t seemed a sad lesson for one so
Young, but Auntie Violet took her in

Stars and Stripes Fourth Oldest.

The national flag that has been
longest in use is either the drago,.
banner of China or the crysanthemum
flag of Japan. The former has been
used from very early period, and
the latter is as old as the present
dynasty in Japan, which is the most
ancient in the world. Among Euro
pean national flags, that of Denmark
"a white St. Georges cross on red
ground is the most ancient, having
been in use since 1919. No other flag
has existed without change for any
thing like the same period as ma
tional emblem, although there are
loyal standards that are older. The
Spanish colors date only from 1885,
and the British flag, in its present
form, was first flown after the union
with Ireland in 1901. The Stars and
Stripes was first planned anu ordered
by Washington of Betsy Ross, an up
holsterer of Philadelphia. and formal
ly adopted on June IA, 1777.

Had Good Ground for Thinking So.

The following incident is reported
as having occurred in Midland re-
vision court. A certain person who
figured on the register was objected
to by one of the agents on the ground
that he was dead. The revising bar
rister declined to accept the assur-
ance, however, and demanded con-
elusive testimony on the point There
upon the agent of the other side arose
and gave corroborative evidence as
to the decease OF the gentleman in
question. And pray, sir, how do you
know the mans dead?" demanded the
barrister. Well" was the reply. II
don't know. It's very difficult to
prove" "As l suspected" returned
the irate barrister. You don't know
whether he's dead or not. The bar
rister glanced triumphantly around
the court. His expression gradually
underwent change as the witness
coolly continued: Il was saying, sir,
that l don't know whether he is dead
or not, but do know this-they buried
him about a month ago on suspicion"

OF King Edward means feet 6h
inches, and in weight he scales about
16 stone, yet such is the dignity Of
his bearing and the excellence of his
carriage that his majesty's appearance
bellies the lowness Of his stature and
the weightness of his person. His
courtesy and tact are proverbial, but
though the kings smile is ever ready
and most engaging, yet his clear blue
eyes are quick to discern and see be-
low the surface. Lord Randolph
Churchill declared that King Edward
would have made a splendid Judge by
virtue of his unerring perception of
character. His memory of faces and
facts is unimpeaehable, and he speaks
French, German, Italian and Russian
as fuently as he does English, which
is his favorite language, though Queen
Victoria decreed German in the home

Army Nurses.

Of all the great armies of the world,
the army of the United States is only
one which has a regularly organized
female contingent. This consists OF
the Army Nurse corps, recently or
eanized, uniformed and equipped un-
der the provisions of the army reor
ganization act. The uniform of the
corps consists of waist and skirt of
suitable white material, adjustable
white cuffs, bishop collar and white
apron and cap of regulation pattern.
The badge of the corpse is the Geneva
cross OF the medical department in
green enamel, with gilt edge. This
badge is displayed on the left side of
the collar of the uniform or on cor.
responding part of the nurses dress
when she is not in uniform. These
nurses are governed by the regula-
tions of the army, and are subject to
the orders of their immediate su-

Butter is now packed in manner
that permits of it's carriage from Aus
tralia to Europe without losing it's
freshness. A box is formed OF six
sheets of ordinary window glass, and
the edges are sealed with gum paper.
This box is then inclosed in plaster
of paris one-quarter of an inch thick,
this being again covered with special
paper. The plaster is bad conduc-

Many a man has come to grief be-
cause he lacked reserve OF capital,
OF discipline or cf knowledge of his
business. In good times, when any
body could sell goods, he was right;
but when a panic came and his notes
were refused at the bank he went
down because he had no reserve OF
savings or of character. Shrewd busi-
ness men are always on the watch for
emergencies, financial storms or
panics; they know perfectly well that

Blackberry Crop.

All things considered, the black
berry has been our most profitable
bush fruit. Its commercial advan-
tages are great. 1t is heavy cropper,
fairly reliable yielder, easily picked,
continues many years in profitable
fruitfulness and generally is in good
demand. It's disadvantages are soft
ness for long distance shipment, a
slight tendency to scald and season
Of fruiting that brings it into direct
competition with peaches. However,
this real disadvantage of season often
becomes a decided advantage during
a short peach crop, which often oc-
ours. 1t then has the market to itself
