THE POLICEMEN or JAPAN.
Are Recruited From Among the samu-
raj and Are Above Cor
ruption.

A japanese policeman seldom has
much trouble in making an arrest, lie
is invested with all the majesty Of the
law, and to the Japanese law is SUI
preme, says the Family Herald. 1t
seems very peculiar to see him holding
a solemn court in the street to settle
some dispute between the inhabitants.
The surrounding crowd shows no dis
position to ridiCule and banter. With
the utmost gravity he examines the
parties interested, notes down the in
formation given and finally pronounces
his decision, which is generally obeyed
without question. This absClutism
strikes the foreigner all the more be-
cause the policemen are usually youth
full in appearance and small in figure.
Five feet two is the standard height
and Il the minimum age for entrance
into the force, Every policeman re-
ceives minute instructions rs to his
department, the position of his hands,
when standing, when sitting, etc, and
the length of his hair, which must not
be more than two inches in front nor
seven-tenths Of an inch on the neck.
The police are for the most part re-
cruited from the old Samurai, and they
appear to carry out the code of honor
handed down to them from generation
to gene tiDn. They are an intelligent,
determined and courageous set of men,
well disciplined, and said to be above
corruption.

CAUSE OF BAD LANGUAGE.
Natural Desire to Impart a Vigorous
and Picturesque Touch to
the Narrative.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall Ga
zette gives an analysis Of a CONVERSE
ton in a railway train which should
arouse the advocates of clean speech to
r. new crusade against had language,
He states that a navy, in explaining
to a friend that, owing to misdirec-
tion by a porter, he had missed a
quicker train, made use Of Sc "unpar-
l~iamentary' expressions:
Seventeen adjectiycs Of a lurid hue,
Five appeals to the Almighty.
Two inyOcations that his own eye
sight might be destroyed.
Three i~nvocations upon the eyes Of
the referred official.
Seven iteratiOns of the nan Of the
Internal regions,
One side issue, necessitating the
name of the Messiah
Seventeen adiectiyes Of simple OBJ
scenity.
Four explosives of an u~nclassifed
nature.
A clergyman who has lived much
among working men said that the rea-
son why working men so often make
use of STRONG" language is "the natu-
raj and laudable desire Of the speaker
to impart a vigOT and picturesque
touch to his narrative.
THE probability is that both Car
lyle and Mr.. KipIing would have been
habitual users of very bad language
but for the saving grace Of education.
Carlyle 'dredged the dictionary for ad-
j~ectives to express his meaning. and

adverbs that abound in the language
But his soul bankers after something
more viTile than very and extremely
and in his meritorious but unlearned
endeayor to be picturesque he falls
into the error of profanity. Teach the
working man his own language in the
board schools and bad language will
disappear"

fact, though, the American Indian is

INDIAN GAME-HEN'S EGGS.
They Always Bring Big Prices Because
of Pureness Of Blood and
Pedigree.

Not often does the price Of a single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each Of the eggs of a GER
tain Indian game-hen, which was
brought to England some time ago,
says Country Life in America.
For centuries, the Indian game, or
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game-breed, for the pureness Of
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that
the date of the origin of the race has
been lost in the past.
1t Is almost impossible to procure
specimens Of the purest blood, for
they are treasured by the Indian
sportsmen at the highest value, and
the best fowls are not allowed to go
out of their native country.
AS game-fowls, they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them in
India-for the finest birds never
reach our colder climates-tell Of their
prowess and ungoyernable tenacity IN
battle. With them, it is always VIC
tory or death.
In America, however, the game-fowls
are seldom raised for fighting pur-
poses, but for show, and as pets and
hobbies of poultry fanciers.

REMEDIES FOR CUT WORMS
To Trap These Destructive Garden and
Orchard Pests Requires Work
and Strategy.

Cutworms are the larvae of moths
belonging to the family ~noctuidae,
These moths are night flyers; their
eyes shine in the lamp light and hence
they are sometimes called "oWlet
moths" The eggs are laid by the fe-
male moth for the most part on leaves
or the soft parts of plants. Land re-
Gently in sod is likely to be infested,
and the crop following sod is pretty
sure to suffer if attractive to these
pests. Some cutworms climb fruit
trees and eat the buds.
Late fall blowing by turning up the
pupae Of cutworms, where a varying
temperature has a chance to work on
them, so that crows, blackbirds and
other birds have an opportunity to eat
them, is an excellent thing.
Many growers of melons, squashes
and cucumbers protect their young
plants by cylinders of tin tomato cans
with ends melted out are good or
cardboard or even brown paper, a cylin-
der surrounding each plant and planted
a few inches (two or three) in the soil.
Poisoning bundles of clover with a
solution of Paris green and strewing
the same amongst the plants to be
protected is n good method. Both
Of these the entomologist has tried
with some success. Paris green, It
must be remembered, is a slow acting
poison comparatively. and one must
not expect worms which have eaten it

number of seed or plants is sometimes
resorted to. The writer has found the
guilty worm frequently concealed an

not far from the plant injured during
the night, He has also trapped them
successfully by placing cabbage leaves,
or any large leaf or board, among
plants needing protection, finding the
worms under there in the morning.

AN ENEMY OF GOOD ROADS
Water Does More Harm Than All the
Other Destructive Agencies Know.
to Engineers.

Among the elements and forces of TIA
tdre there are several enemies of good
roads, but the greatest of them is water.
1t washes away the material of the Rad.
1t soaks into the road and suftens it so
that the wagon wheels cut into the sur
face making ruts and holes. 1t pene-
trates and softens the foundation so that
the surface of the road sinks or breaks
up. In the winter the water that is in the
road freezes, expands and loosens and
dlslntegrates the road material.
The most important thing in the build
ing Of roads is to lesson or prevent the
raYages Of water; yet no feature of the
work is SO neglected as this. Many local
road supervisors seem to give no con-
sideration to the question of drainage,
and the result is a regular mud blocEage
during several weeks Or months of the
year.
The following are a few simple rules
the observance of which would 60 far
toward lettering the roads Of this Ii
try:
First-The road should be so located
and constructed as to avoid steep grades
down which the water rushes during
heavy rains, tearing Up and washing
away the road material.
Second-The foundation Of the road
should be thoroughly drained by open
side bitches which will carry off wa
ter, and where necessary tile drains
should be laid in the foundation itself,
Third-The surface of the road should
be hare and smooth and have sufficient
slope toward the sides to shed the sur
face water.
Fourth-Ruts and holes on the surface
Of the finished road should be filed as
fast as made so that water can lie op
the surface to be worked up into mud.
These rules ate simple and easy to fol-
low, and anyone who gives any serious
thought to the matter can see the wisdom
of following them. Still they are al
most universally ignored. as the con-
dition Of our roads ~abundantly proves.
What this country needs is a radical
change, a new era in road building. The
people have been moving in ruts in more
senses than one, and if each local COM
munity is left to work out the road prob
lem alone, they will continue TO move in
the same ruts. and every year millions
Of dollars will be thrown into the mud.
to say nothing of the losses resulting
from the use Of bad roads. Lectures on
road improvement seem to 10 very little
good. Books and bulletins on road build
ing appear to have very little effect,
What the local committees need il
practical object lessons, and actual as
s~istance, and these can come only from
the state governments and the federal
government. 1t is for this reason that
road reformers everywhere are turning
toward state and national aid as the only
solution of the road problem.
The bad roads of the United States are
a blight, a curse. a disgrace and all
patriotic progressive citizens should
make a grand united effort to wipe them
out and put our Nation or a level with
the advanced nations of Europe in the
matter of roads.

THE WISE FARM MANAGER
He Makes O. Success of Life Because
He Knows How to Think to
Some End.

The farmer that succeeds Is the ono
that thinks, and thinks to some end.
The superintendent of the farm is
the thing of most Importance to a
man that has a farm large enough to
require the work of a number of men.
The man with the little farm can think
as he goes along. but not so the MAI
that has a large area Of expensive
land to control. This was forcibly
brought to our attention recently In a
visit to one of the most successful
farmers in Illinois, He said that n
of the greatest faults he had noticed
with unsuccessful farmers was their
lack of ability to plan. He himself al
ways made it a point to think out
the work days ahead, and to tell the
men the night before what they were
each to do on a certain day. He
cited the instance Of one farmer that
lacked this power. He would not try
to think what to do till the day came
when the work was to be done. and
then he never succeeded in arranging
his work so as to save time. He would
say to one man: We'll. you go over
and repair that fence" and he would go
perhaps a mile to make a little repair
on a fence which could have been re-
paired wher the men were in that vi
cinity engaged on some other work.
This meant a loss of time that was a very
considerable factor when it was repeated
over and over throughout the year. in
various forms. The man at the head Of
affairs is the one that must make the
farm work a success, If it is to be a
success.-Farmers' Review.

CITY MAN oUT-oF-COORS,

A general and killing absorption in
the business CT life was once the aC-

suit not only OF their business vacations
but Of their social ayocalions. Yet the

by the sea or in the mountains, spend
the whole summer in the country, as

modest or sumptuous, in accordance
with their means and taste.
The city mans modern discovery OF

HORTICULTURAL NOTES

Five feet apart each way is a good
distance to set currant bushes,
On many soils both fruits and yege-
tables are benefited by an application of
wood ashes.
One Of the commonest mistakes of
the fruit grower is to neglect to cult
yate his orchard.
For almost any kind of small fruit
the land should be deeply plowed, thir-
oughly cultivated and well fortified.
1t is cheaper to grow good shade trees
from seed in a nursery, under the prop
erconditions, than to hunt and pull them
in the woods.
The root systems of forest seedlings
grow long and spreading, so it is al
most Impossible to pull them without
lhlurlng the roots very badly.
The United States is now spending
about S400 5000 annually in the inves-
tlgation of forests. and in carrying out
various schemes for forest preserva-
ton.
Why should we expect the orchard
10 continue to bear crops year after
year without being fed and cultivated?
we do not expect it of other farm
crops.
seedlings grown In the shady and
sheltered woods have their organs for
transportation, assimilation, etc, de-
veloped for that condition, and when
brought out to a light, exposed place,
are unable to cope with the new con-
itlo and die.-Farmers' Review.
