PRIVATE STUDENTS UNDER GOVERNMEl
SUPERVISION,
Two Students Returned.

The records of the immigration bureau
show that thirty students have landed at
Pacific ports since the list of July, twelve
of them at San Francisco. None have been
rejected but one has been held up for rea-
sons, and is now detained pending an In
vestigation of his case. Since the immigra-
ton bureau has been under the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor thirty-two
students have applied for admission at San
Francisco. Thirty were allowed to land.
One was sent back to China because he
was affected with an infectious disease.
The other was Mr. SEE, a graduate OF
Ohio Wesleyan University. He Is a native
and citizen of Java, and, after gradua-
tion returned to his home and taught
school until last spring, when he attempted
to return to this country to take. post
graduate course at Yale. Assuming that
he was not subject to the exclusion law
because he is a Dutch subject he had no
certificate of citizenship or passport, and
the department. after considering his case
for ten days, denied him admission and
sent him home.
During the last fiscal year ending June
so, 1904, 2,244 Chinese applied for admission
at the port of San Francisco. The follow
ing statement will show the number and
class of each and the portion that was re-
tected for various rea sons:

A Graphic Imagination.

Nathan's teacher believed in reduc-

line. Therefore, says the Boston Her.
aid, she told the class to make a rough
illustration of the poem, 1.-THE Old
Oaken Bucket"
"Nathan's illustration consisted of a
bunch of dots.
Nathan" said the teacher, 81 don't
understand this. What's the circle?"
That's the WELL" replied Nathan.
"And why have you three buckets"'
zone is the old oaken bucket, n is
the iron-bound bucket, and the other
is the moss-coyered bucket which hung
in the WELL"
"And what are all those little dots?"

In Europe until several centuries
later, Notwithstanding its great ad.
vaGtages. For a considerable time
there were two parties among the
European educators, One party,
known as the algorists, favored the
adoption OF the Hindoo system OF
notation falsely called Arabic, with
its position values, while the other,
6nown as the %abacists, favored the
Roman notation, without zero or posi-.

The general adoption of the Hindoo

facts that it was explained in most

the medieval universities frequently

the meal, and had it baked into ban
nocks, in readiness 10 eat with the
cod or sillocks brought home from the
sea. The quern is occasionally used at
the present day, but only for grinding
malt and for making burstin. which is
a mixture of {oats and barley, dried to
crispness. ground, but hot too fine, and
eaten with buttermilk.

The s3 Horse.

Horses are not very numerous In
Western Oregon and Washington, and
those obtainable are tougher than the
cayuses which inhabit the bunch grass
plains of Eastern Washington. Kim
mon went among the Yakima Indians
prepared to buy rs many horses as
they could furnish at $3.50 to SO a
head. which is the prevailing price for
stock used at Linton.
The Yakimas would not consider
such a price, demanding at least SIS a
head for every horse they should fur
nish whether young and sleek or old
and thin. The difference in cost was
too much. and Kimmon has returned
to Linton to continue operations there.
