The Citadel.

The banquet to Mr.. Justice HARLAN
came in good time to emphasize the
meaning of the Supreme Court Of the
United States as coordinate depart
ment Of the Government.
What could be finer, what could be
truer, what could be nor, illuminating
than Judge HARLANs peroration?
If our Institutions should be assaiied and over
thrown. no matter by whom or In wha, way, whether
BY arbitrsryypower, by corruption or by iawless-
nass the last citadel to be taken By the s.sailsn,s
will be our Incompatible judicial organization.
When was the principal function Of
our highest court ever described better
than in Senator HoAR's brief character
ization OF it as the great tribunal which
keeps the forces of State and nation alike
within their appointed bounds?"
Within their appointed bounds.
These words ought to make an impress
sion upon the mind of Mr. Justice HAIR
LAN's newest associate, Mr.. Justice
HOLMES Of Massa chisetts, who only
last week announced that he held a rad
ically different understanding Of his busi-
ness on the bench. He said:
Il have considered the present tendencies and
desres OF society and have tined to realize that Its
different portions want different things and that
my business was to express not my personal wish.
but the resultant. as neany a. ! could gurss. of
the pressure OF the past and the conflicting Wills
OF the present.
In the new atmosphere surrounding
him, and with the example of his eminent
associates constantly before him. 1t is
to be hoped that Mr. Justice HOLMES
will learn in due time that it ia his bus-
ness on the Supreme bench neither to
pronounce judgment according to his
personal wishes, nor to guess at the re-
sultant between established law and
conflicting sociological theories; but to
help to keep the forces of State and nation
alike within their appointed bounds.
In other words, the bugle call about
which Judge HOLMES talked so eloquently
and so strenuously at Boston summoned
him for defence and not for assault. His
Constitutional duty is to help hold the
citadel not to attack il or to attempt to
reconstruct it in any manner.

Chinese Anatomy.

Chinese physicians have some curious
notions In regard to human anatomy.
The truth is they know nothing about
anatomy as that word is understood by
American physicians, their principal
authority on the subject being work
entitled Netting" Of which Huang
I'll, who lived from 2697 to 2597 B. c.,
is said to be the author.
According to Chinese physicians, the
human heart occupies almost the same
position as is assigned by European
and American physicians to the stom-
ach, and bile, they maintain, has its
origin in the back of the head. They
also claim that q human being has 365
bones, which correspond to the 365
days of the year; that a man has
twelve ribs and woman fourteen and
that mans skull is composed of eight
and woman's six pieces.
Moreover, they say that in every hui
man body there are twenty-five parts
which are important and ffty-siX
which are unimportant, and they lay
great stress on the necessity of taking
good care of the important parts.

Korean Schools.

In Korean schools the master Is
dressed In white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has a rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly manner and deals out
justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept in sight of the master
at all times. The course of study is not
very extensive to look at, but when it
comes to studying the Korean language
through the medium of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning of a
course is difficult. The scholar Is first
taught the name and meaning of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
in Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu
dents keep up steady droning noise
as each one goes on repeating his por-
ton of the tasks aloud, regardless of
what is going on round him.

sIivers In Potatoes.

In peeling potatoes it is often OBJ
served that the outer flesh of the tubCr
contains brown slivers extending flCm
the surface inward to the depth Of
about one-eighth of an inch. These s.iv-
ers do no harm except to slightly injure
the appearance of the cooked potato
Usually their location is indicated ex-
ternally by a minute puncture in the
skin. In some cases each silver is sur
mounted by a pronounced elevation,
and tubers so affected are called PIN
ply potatoes.
The slivers and accompanying PIN
pies are caused by minute white
worms, the larvae of the common flea
beetle, which bore into the tubers while
they are growing. Naturally slivers
are most common in potatoes in locali-
ties where flea beetles are most album
dant. 1t is likewise plain that to pre-
vent the appearance of slivers in the
tubers it is necessary to prevent flea
beetles from attacking the tops. This is
best accomplished by spraying the
plants very thoroughly with bordeaux
mixture containing paris green at the
rate of about twelve ounces to fifty gal
Ions of bordeaux. The same treatment
prevents blight and the ravages Of po-
tato bugs-F. G. Stewart in American
Agriculturist.

The Cook Was Safe.

An Italian prince who had Sicilian
cook was once travelling to his pro-
vincial estates, taking with him his
cook, together with his entire kitchen
force, without which, SO fond was he
of the delicacies they were wont to
prepare, he rarely if ever Travelled. At
a point where the narrow path along
the precipice turned the angle Of pro-
jecting rock the prince, at the head of
his long cavalcade, heard shrek and
the splash of a body falling into the
torrent far below. With a face white
with horror he pulled up and, looking
back, exclaimed: THE cook! The
cook! Oh, do not tell me it is the cook"
mo, your excellency," cried a voice
from the rear, sit is Don Prosdocemo."
The prince heaved a sigh of intense
relief, then said: "Ah, only the chap

Friends have assisted him. pastors have prayed

He has been rescued and lost DER and DER,
But do not give him up-pun from his lips the

Speak to him kindly and try him once more.
Though it's dishe artening never to thrive with

Sad his relapses from virtue to shame
Give him not hopelessly up-if you strive with

Some spark of good may be famed into fame
Some potent memory-haply mothers voice
Teaching him virtue and wisdom of yore,
May be recalled to his ear by another's voice.
Speak to him kindly and try him once more

him.
Ill deeds should pardon till seventy times

Succor the least here and you do the same to

Never believe that you labor in vain,
Kindness will conquer the drunkard's insanity
