to pay the public school teachers-not Uncle Sam.
There IS something radically wrong in the schools
of to-day Young girls are graduated with smat-
tering of everything and very little knowledge of
anything. In my experience have known year

The Strategy of a Weasel.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
"a weasel is a wizard as well as fighter.
and often wins his battles by strategy.
said Emmett Wolfe of Mississippi Il was
recently in fishing camp that was near a
large stack of lumber. 1t seemed that a
large number of rats inhabited the cool
crevices under the lumber pile. and one
day a weasel put in his appearance. We
had the pleasure of seeing a battle royal
every day for several days. and by and by
the weasel had killed every rat in the COL
ony, except one, which was nearly as large
a cat.
''They fought several times a day, and
the weasel always got the worst of it. One
day we noticed 1t industriously digging a
hole under the wood pile, and thought little
of it. A little later we saw it challenge the
rat to battle, and al soon as the fight began
to warm UP the weasel suddenly turned tail
and sneaked to the hole like all possessed.
The rat followed in hot pursuit. and both
disappeared in the mouth of the weasel 8
hole. 1t was only a twinkling until the
weasel reappeared. and flashed into the hole
again.
I'VE watched long time. and neither
animal appeared. Finally we moved the
wood and dug out the weasels hole. We
found the rat dead-and the weasel had
dug itself out another way. The weasel
had trapped the rat and killed it at leisure,
the hole being too small at one end for the
rat to escape, which the weasel knew all
the while"

Physical Culture In France.

Par1s Cor. Of the London Telegraph
feminine league Of physical culture"
has been started in Paris by a lady, who
says that she has learned from her own ex-
per1ence the need of athletics for women
as well as for men. She was brought UP to
consider that all outdoor sports were I'M
womanly. She married a man of feeble
constitution and has two children, both
weakly. Finally she fell Ill herself, and
was pronounced by doctor to be going
into rapid decline. Having made up her
mind she was dying, she went to spend the
rev months she thought she had to live In
the country. There. however instead OF
lying down to die she took 1t into her head
to force herself to walk. to battle and to 20
In for violent exercise. After year or SO
she was ANOTHER woman. and when. on re-
turning to Paris. she went to see her doc
tor, he did not know her. and told her,
when she related her experience to him,
that the physician who pronounced her case
to be hopeless was a fool. Then she told
him that II that were So the fool and he
were the same person, and he did not like
1t. Now. thanks to constant exercise, the
lady says that at fifty-three she is a strong
woman. after having been almost an in
valid for fve-and-twenty to thirty years.
Her own experience induced her to start tho
league in question, and to open a school of
physical culture. which Is attended by
about twenty girls, who are trained by a
male professor and by herself. She is a
passionate believer in athletics for women,
and her ambition is to win every French
mother over to her views.

ANCIENT RACE
In Michigan Possessed the Lost Art Of

In M1cnlgan Possessed the Lost Art OF
Tempering Copper.
From the Detroit Tribune.
There was recently found on the shore Of
Lake Gogebic by campers engaged In gath
ering sticks for fire a tempered copper
implement. clearly of the prehistoric age
The especial purpose OF the tool Is a matter
of conjecture. 1t is described as about nine
inches in length. two inches broad at the
large end and one and one-fourth inches at
the other. ITS weight being about two
pounds. Interest in the discovery centers
in the fact that the implement was tenn
pered Within the recorded history of man
no people have lived possessing the art Of
tempering copper. That it existed, but was
lost before an age Of which this generation
has any knowledge, is proved by the few
discoveries Of tempered copper tools in
Michigan and in Egypt. to which countries
We believe such discoveries have been lin
tied The imperfect description given Of
the implement found at Gogebic lake af-

intended. That an art so valuable as the

Man Put Lifetime Saving on Vase.

From the Philadelphia Record
The fruits of twenty five years of labor
and saving are visible in a curious vase
made by Edward Rausch. The vase Is
over five feet high and thirty-two inches
a its largest diameter. Its exterior. from
top to bottom, Is composed of coins. an
cient and modern, great and small, rep
resentng the money tokens of all peoples
which have been carefully made fast to a
surface of copper. Some of the coins are
extremely rare. Among them are crude
bars rings and bolts. which were once used
as a medium of exchange by African and
other savage tribes. Spanish coins of early
date are seen in abundance. and some early
Greek coins are there. Sicilian spoon mon
ey early Japanese bars and forks, African
horseshoes shell money OF sea coast saw
ages as well the most modern coins are
to be seen.
The value of the vase Mr.. Rausch places
at $4,000. Its maker, who lives at 1881
North 9th street, Is a cornice maker, and
by birth German. He says the vase is the
only one of it's kind in the world He
began to collect the coins in 1879, and.
though not possessed Of wealth and de-
pendent for his living his daily toll
he collected so rapidly that he soon con-
ceived the idea of making the vase. He
found however. that what looked like an
immense pile of coins when loose covered
only a small patch on the vase, and then
he devoted his life to finishing the article.

In a Japanese Prison.
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion.
That which is especially striking at first
sight In a japanese prison is that there Is
no difference between the prison and the
hut of the free peasant, the japanese de-
claring that IL the prison were elevated to
the level of a modern penitentiary 1t would
be too attractive and would increase crime
Upon approaching the prison. in place Of
high and forbidding walls you see a large
country house with series of outbuildings,
tho prison itself being completely open
while the wooden bars at the windows have
nothing of the forbidding aspect Of our iron
gratings The interior of the building is
completely open. although formerly at It
chigoi there was a corridor separated from
the building by paper wall where the
guards slept.
The food given the prisoners is in proper
ton to their conduct and industry. the
prisoners who do not conduct themselves
as they should receiving cake of rice
which must last for seven days. while In
the case of the orderly prisoners the same
cake lasts for only four days The prison.
ers who conduct themselves properly re-
ceve also a little horse meat with potato
or pea sauce with their meals.

Seppuku.
FUTURE DAYS.

From the London Post.
A vast amount of misconception prevails
in Europe concerning what IS vulgarly
termed hara-kiri. This word is never used
by any other than illiterate persons in
Japan Among the educated classes the
term employed is seppuku 1t is wrong to
suppose that Japanese soldiers and sailors
are prone to throw away their lives vainly.
Seppuku. in ancient times. was an honor
able death, but it was only resorted to in
extreme circumstances. AS the Japanese
proverb puts it, Sci katashf, shi wa
yasushi Is difficult, death is easy
For any person to commit suicide merely
as a way out of a difficulty was esteemed.
and is STILL cowardly act. To take ones
own life is easy enough as means of pro-
curing relief from trouble. but to live on.
despite difficulties, being a harder matter.
is the more creditable. and this is the
meaning to be attached to the proverb.
which has quite as much force today
among Japanese as II ever mad.
The cause of so many soldiers and sail
ors-take the case of the Kin Shiu Maru
as an example-preferring death to cap
ture was something widely different from
that which has been assigned. The people
of Japan at large, soldiers and sailors In
cluded. had heard 50 much of the Russian
atrocities at Blagovestchensk. of the Rus
sian treatment of the Chinese at the time
Of the Boxer troubles and of Gen. Mitchen-
kos famous utterance that the Russians
had mo ropes. but arms, significant Of the
short shrIft that would be given to cap
tives. that the prospect Of falling alive
into Russian hands came in reality to be
regarded as far worse than death. It was
the firm belief that barbarous treatment
would be melted out to them that led so
many. despite the injunction conveyed in
the proverb, to shoot or stab themselves
when capture was inevitable.
Cases of seppuku. as matter Of fact,
were extremely rare. and cases Of ordi-
nary suicide, though more frequent, were
the expression of a widespread conviction
that only in this way could an ignominious
existence be avoided.
