OF course, when one thinks If

Then, The Russian officers do not

you will remember that Col Roosevelt
ordered a barrel of potatoes boiled in
order that he might treat all of the

such a thing.

This agreement is nothing more

remembered that in this protocol the
japanese government undertook to
give advice to the Korean government
with regard to the improvements of ad-

The financial embarrassment of the
Korean government has in the past
been a constant cause Of internal

LIFE OF THE ZUNIs
Villages Look Like Huge Beehives
and Have Hundreds of Cell
like Rooms.

The little half-Ciyilized children oil
zuni so aroused our curiosity that we
drove through 40 miles of sand and
sage-brush, from the railroad at Fort
Wingate, to pay them a visit. AS the
Indians do not provide for travellers,
we took our hotel with us-tents, beds
and food-and camped Just outside
their village, writes Maria Brace
Kimball, in THE Children of zuni" in
st. Nicholas. The village looks like a
huge beehive made of clay and stuck
fast to the top of a sandy knoll. Thu
hive is filled with a mass of cells
900 single rooms, placed side by side
and piled in rows one on top of an
other.
In each Of these rooms lives a zuni
family. There are no inside stairways
leading from story to story, but If the
boys and girls living in one row wish
to pay a visit to a house above them,
they must go outdoors and climb q
ladder, On the slope between the vii
lage and the Zuni river are a number
Of small vegetable gardens, each one
inclosed by a mud wall. Zuni has no
inns, no shops, no saloons, not even
proper streets, but only narrow alleys
that thread their way through the
strange town. AS we walked through
the village, all the world came out to
see us. Girls and boys clustered on
the roofs or sat on the oyens--queer
little cones Of mud which seem to
grow up out of the house-tops-while
fathers, mothers and babies peered
out from dark doorways to stare at
the visitors. When we had finished
Il tour of the roofs and alleys, we
were Hospitality invited indoors; even
there the children followed us, and as
we glanced up to a hole in the ceiling
which served as a window, a girls
laughing face filled the opening. We
must have looked strange enough in
our hats and gloves and long skirts

Science in Ancient Sharon.

From time immemorial the gardens
in the ancient plain of Sharon, famous
for its roses and its oranges, have been
irrigated with water lifted by wheels,
with double rows of buckets, turned by
mules. Modern practical science now
promises to revolutionize this time
honored method, greatly to the gain of
the gardens and their owners. A few
years ago oil engines were introduced
from Germany to take the place of the
mules, At first the innovation made
slow progress, but its advantages are
beginning to be understood. and it is be.
lieved that the recent rapid growth OF
the orange gardens, some of which in
clude from 5000 to 10000 trees. will
stimulate the substitution of engines
for mules.

several conspicuous ways-as a finan-
cier, a philanthropist, and an industrial
promoter. He was associated with the
late Cecil Rhodes in the development OF
South Africa, and is executor Of the

ships are assigned. He was admins

Eary Grey is also widely known
among temperance workers at home and
abroad as the protector of the scheme

gate the evils Of saloons by turning
them, so far as possible, into decent re-
sorts, and making the sale of strong
drink a secondary feature and without
profit. The earl is a brother-in-law to

Rapid Growth of Universities.

Few persons realize the rapid growth
of our American universities, Harvard
and Yale have stood for more than 200
years, but their growth has been most
marked in the last 80. One hundred
years ago Chicago was a trading station
protected by a rude log fort. The north
west territory, where are now five lead
ing universities, was then a wilderness.
The Pacific coast has become the home
of universities within the last 25 years.

WAS AN AWFUL DISCOVERY
And Yet, When the Truth Became
Known 1t Wasn't So Bad
as Supposed.

The advent of the telephone In the
rural districts has introduced an ele.
ment of freshness and variety into the
monotony of farm life that makes an
instrument a real necessity to every
household. Many incidents attest the
a~daptability of the instrument in com.
mon use in the country towns and ham
let's to the varied needs of country life.

subscribers are IN one wire, which Is
the kind in general use, signals to each
one on the circuit when any special call
is rung, and then the Others may take
down his or her trumpet and listen to
the conversation. 1t isn't even possible
for a fellow to make an evening engage
ment with his best girl over the tele-
phone without letting all the other sub
scribers know of 1t.

get it all down him. Then take a rubber
tube and put a funnel in one end of 1t,
and then run the tube a little way down
his throat and pour the whisky down.
He'll be drunk a day or SO, but he'll be
harmless, and you'll find it will do the

"But, doctor, he'll bite the tube in two,
