School Customs In China.

Many strange school customs prevail
in China. The girls in that country
seldom go to school unless they are the
children of very rich people. School
work begins before daylight, and after
studying their lessons aloud for two
hours the pupils recite them. They
then go home to breakfast, after which
they return and study again till din
ner time. In the afternoon they go
again to school to prepare lessons for
the following day. BY this time it is
night. This goes on every day of the
week, for there is no such thing as the
Sunday holiday.

Smoking In Spain.

In Spain people smoke necessarily
under all conditions, at all hours and
in all places. except in church. Men
smoke in the railway carriages; they
smoke in all the tram cars; they smoke
in all the minor theaters; they smoke
in all the restaurants. in the hotel din
ing rooms, and, of course, in the cafes.
In business offices the merchant and
his clerks smoke. In shops the shop
man, while trying TO sell goods to Il
lady. will stop to roll cigarette,
which, when lighted. he will puff in
her face. You see conductors and
drivers of tram cars smoking. All the
hackney cabmen smoke all the time
while even cOachmen and footmen of
private carriages sometimes smoke on
the box. Beggars approach you, ciga-
rctte in mouth to whine for aims. If
you ask for tickets at railway Office,
the clerk lays down his cigarette as he
hands you the dingy bits of pasteboard.
The innumerable peddlers all smoke
cigarettes all the time.-J. A. Hart in
Argonaut.

THE ALIEN DANGER

The Immigration to the United Statee
for the last fiscal year broke all previ-
Gus records, and the present one starts
out with the promise of exceeding it..
In July last no less than 67,53S aliens
arrived, about 200 more than for the
same month one year ago. OF them
1856 came from Austria Hungary.
1863 from Russia, and IO,764 from
Italy. These are the most unfit ma
terlal possible of which to make free
people, capable of self-government. We
owe 1t as duty to ourselves and our
children TO bar out the masses of The

mendous powers Of assimilation in the

Inc same races as the original settler,

SHAW TO THE FARMERS

"~ecretary of lhe Treasury Shaw re-
Gently told the farmers of ONO some
valuable things in an address, says
the Toledo Blade. die urged them to
watch the avenues of waste, as is done
in ans other business. He reminded
his hearers that 1t is the fewest number
of farmers who can tell whether their
fat hogs and steers cost three or six
cents a pound to raise. lie urged the
application of ordinary business meth
DDS aud bookkeeping to the farming
industry. The farmer should know
accurately what each animal he raises,
each bushel OF every crop, has actually
cost him.
"He also urged upon them the neces-
s,ty Of keeping up the fertility of the
land. There is no possible excuse for
its deterioration, and the man who
does not practice the same methods OF
saving and utilizing everything that is
the rule in the factory, packing-house
and the refinery is guilty Of reprehens-
IDLE waste. On these points the score
tary is absolutely right. While there
are many farmers who run their farms
by the same methods any other mod
ern business enterprise is conducted,
the majority use the old happy-go-
lucky methods, or lack of methods.
When a period of low prices for their
products comes the latter are in sore
straits at once; and instead Of seeing
that the fault is their own and acting
accordingly, they commence to howl
for a political remedy silver, gov
eminent elevators, or some other fall
lacy, which would niure the country
and not help them. The sooner the
farmers all realize that it takes good
business ability to run farm success
FULLY the sooner they will be placed on
the safe side in the periodical eras of
dep essed pr.ces.n

THE sOUTH's POPULATION

The interesting fact is brought out III
a recently issued census b"lletin that
for the first time in the national ms
tory the southern states Increased III
population faster than those OF the
north in the decade ending with 1900.
The northern states east Of the M.sslss-
ippi have grown somewhat more rapid
~ than the southern states III the same
region, but the growth Of the southern
states as a whole eXcerds that OF the
north, owing to the fact that west 81
the Mississippi the southern states
have increased in population more
than two and half times as rapidly
az the northern states in that quarter.
Taken as whole, the region west ol
the Mississippi has Increased faster
shan that to the east of it, but the rate
of increase was not so great in the last
decade as in the one before.

Origin OF the Tomato,

The English word of direct Indian
origin most frequently in use is to-
mato. A native Of tropical or sub
tropical America. it was cultivated by
the subjects of the Incas and Monte
zumas, as we'll as by the other semi
civilized natives, long before the adj
vent of Europeans on this hemisphere
under the name of tumatl or tomatl.
Though introduced into Europe al
most as early as its congener, the po-
t0to, it was many years before it made
its way into popular favor. There it
was first known to the English as love
apple, to the French as pomme d'amour
and to the Italians as pomi damOre,
and these names are still in use, per-
petuating the old. widespread notion
that its use as food had an influence
on the amatory passions.

Billion and TrfIlion,

There are two systems of numera-
ton in use at the present day, common
" called. the English and the French
systems. In the former the billion is
million OF millions, a trillion a mil
lion Of billions and each denomination
is million times the one preceding.
In the latter (Which is the system used
in the United States) the billion is a
thousand millions, and each denomina-
ton is thousand times the preceding.
