German Trade Schools.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor at Washington, has just begun
the publication of a series of reports
on the educational system in Ger
many In the preface to the first Of
these reports the department takes oc'
casion to give high praise to the Ger
man system. 1t says:
"The phenomenal success Of the
German empire in manufactures and
commerce is due in very large meas
,lre to its splendid system OF educa-
ton, particularly in the branches de-
signed to aid manufactures and com
merce. These are the industrial, in
dustrial art, technical. commercial
and commercial high schools"

AND HASTE IN WORK.

President Charles w. Eliot says in
the July Worlds Work that the prin-
cipal sources of satisfaction and con-
ercise of ones powers; achievement.
or the getting well done something
worth doing; harmonious cooperative
effort, putting mind into work or using
Judgment and skill, successfully en-
countering risk, making adventures
and mastering novelty and variety.
1t is, unquestionably, easy to have
all satisfaction in daily work de-
stroyed by the Imposition of condi-
tions which make satisfaction impos-
sible. If labor is pressed beyond the
limits of strength and health, content
in it is impossible. Any overwork de-
stroys the physical basis of satisfac-
tion in toll. If the hours of labor are
exaggerated, SO that reasonable time
for meals. family life, recreation and
sleep is not to be had the due salts
faction in toll will not be realized. The
conditions of modern urban life tend
to develop in the American population
an unreasonable haste and stress in
both work and play. This haste and
stress are quite as highly developed
in the higher employments as in the
lower; and, relatively to numbers.
overwork now prevails in the higher
employments more than in the lower.
probably because there is more and
keener pleasure in them, and they
are, therefore. more liable to be pur-
sued with an inordinate zeal.

JAPANESE HUMANITY

Without single white man to ad-
wise or control, with few war cor
respondents to comment or criticise.
the Japanese are keeping up in this
campaign as high standard of hI-
manity and kindness to their foes as
any civilized power in the world.
Prisoners who have escaped speak
in enthusiastic terms OF the manner
in which the Japanese treat the Rus.
sian wounded The Japanese army
doctors, it seems, are splendid, and
they personally saw to the comfort
of all the Russian wounded" Clyi-
lized man is an incarnate paradox.
Having called to his assistance all
the highest talents in one depart
ment of science to provide the most
awful and barbarous instruments for
destroying his fellow-man, he snr.-
mons with the same breath the mas
ters of another science to undo as far
as possible the inevitable conse-
quences of the use of shot and shell,
torpedoes and submarines and all the
other deadly machines Of modern
warfare. Looked at from one aspect,
war is the negation of all humanity;
regarded from another, it evoles hu-
manity's loftiest products.-London

ENGLISH IN JAPAN.

Until forty years ago an English
book was practically unknown In
Japan, the only foreign literature
studied was the Chinese, and the first
language to be taught In the schools
was the Dutch.
Now, while English is the most com.
mon among the people, and is studied
by all high school pupils. German and
French are favored generally by
scholars and physicians. There is a
foreign language school in Tokyo.
where almost all languages are taught,
and. curiously enough, Russian is the
favorite.
The study of English literature in
Japan is represented by Prof. Yuzo
Tsu Chouchi. who has translated into
japanese some of Shakespeare's plays
-"Othello." Macbeth" and The
Merchant of Venice"
The most widely known English
writer in Japan is Carlyle. All stu
dents of English literature in Japan
read his works. Next to Carlyle comes
Macaulay, and the new Hanyaku, or
translation style, was practically Gre
ated by borrowing his language by the
Minyushamen n literary band In
Tokyo. Emerson is greatly admired,
and his writings have influenced many
notable Japanese journalists to-day.
Mill and Herbert Spencer have also
influenced the thought Of modern
Japan.
Tennyson, Longfellow, Wordsworth
Byron and Milton are the most popu
lar poets, and in fiction Irving, Thack
cray, and Dickens are the best known

been recently translated into Japan

weeks we have been talking about

is doubtful, to say the least. For
back of 1t all lies vast indifference.
We Americans take the chances. We
accept grade crossings. reckless auto
mobiles. firetrap hotels, buildings
which fall down, steamers and thea
ters and railway trains exposed to
fire, New York Central tunnels, any
thing, everything, in the way of need

ical corruption in general. because
we simply do not care. We would

or lose our time. We tried to get
through congress law making ship
owners pecuniarily liable for lives de-
stroyed. The ship owners interfered,
congress was obedient, and the peo-
pie lay down and forgot. We tried
to get through congress law for
more stringent inspection of steam
boats, and 1t was killed with the plea
of economy. Let us eat, drink and
be merry. for tomorrow we may burn
up ourselves.-Collier's Weekly.

CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED.

Newberry, S. CIV. H. Harris
Chief of Police, OF Newberry. says:
81 suffered for number Of years with
kidney complaint. There was dull
aching across the small of my back
that was worse at night and
made me feel miserable all the time.
The kidney secretions were dark and
full Of sediment. and lack Of control
compelled me to rise number OF
times during the night. Between this
annoyance and the backache 1t was
impossible for me to get much sleep
and my health was being undermined.
! tried number OF remedies. but
nothing helped me until | got Doan's
Kidney Pills. The use Of this remedy
according to directions promptly
brought about q change ior the better.
After using two boxes the backache
all left me. the kidney secretions
cleared up and the action Of the kid
neys became normal"

ney medicine which cured Chief Har-
ris will be mailed to any part of the

DANGER IN TOO MUCH HURRY.

1t is charged that while only trained,
high grade men can operate trains
that are not fully equipped with all
the latest improvements, the installa-
tion OF these improvements is often
used as an excuse for employing in
ferior men, thus off-setting any meas
ure of. safety that might have been
added by the improved equipment.
The public. after all. is to blame.
Every man, OF course. regrets the loss
of life in railway accidents and is
ready to censure the managers for
running trains at too high a rate of
speed, but when he starts on trip
he wants the speed limit removed.
The nation is in hurry and the rail
road company that proposed to lessen
the speed of trains for the express
purpose of reducing the chances of
accidents would promptly be ridiculed
as an old fogy outfit and Its business
would go to its rival.-Washington
Post.

Paradise for Hunters

Get a party of ten or twelve and
charter steamer to go down the
Colorado river for three weeks trip
and you will have the hunt of your
life.
You never dreamed of the number
and variety of water fowl. Indians.
who live along the banks. can be
hired for trife to retrieve the birds,
and they will make the average
spaniel ashamed of himself.
The quail that inhabit the mesquite
forests, a little way back from the
river. are there by millions. Plenty
of deer of the large mule variety
are here-their antlers being only
second to the elk.
The game is there in greater num-
ber and variety than probably exist
anywhere else in the west. There is
no game law, but you must get a
permit from the Mexican customs tc
take guns and ammunition across the
line.-Sunset Magazine.

MISCHIEF BY CAPE JAckALs.
Yearly Loss from These Animals Esti'
mated at $500, 600.

During a discussion on jackals in
the Cape house of assembly few
days ago Mr.. Rubidge gave figures
based on intelligent and recorded OBJ
servation of the depredations caused
by jackals.
In one year the losses caused to
his stock amounted to 10 per cent.
Estimating on the number of the
fiocks in 1895, he worked gradually
up to a yearly loss of $7,50O,O00, di-
rectly traceable to jackals. With that
as basis the Cape Argus works as
follows upon Mr.. Rubidge's figures.
Allowing for loss of 5 per cent.
instead of 10, the annual destruction
of small stock would be $4,000. equal
to $1.900,O00.
Next there came the estimate of
loss caused to the veldt and to the
fiocks by the kraaling system. If
there were no jackals the tlocks
would run free at night. Mr.. Rubidge
estimated the loss from the enforced
kraaling at $2,125,OO0. But that does
not end the Indictment against the
jackal. The kraaling system has re-
duced the dropping of lambs from &c
per cent. to 60 per cent, and Mr. Ru
bidge estimated the loss from this
cause at 250.O00.-South Africa.

AN IMPRISONED CAT.
In New York City, Freed by Cow.
boys Lariat.

In New York City, Freed by Cow.
boys lariat.
After nearly two years imprison-
ment between brick walls four stories
Ugh and only little more than three
inches apart, cat has been rescued
by means of lariat. The feline
dropped into the crevice when 1t was
only a few weeks old and has been
there ever since-fed and cared for by
families residing In the buildings.
The prison which it occupied SO
long is between two buildings In East
Fourth street. The crevice Is closed
front and back, and even closed partly
on the top by tin roofing.
Efforts which the kitten made again
and again during the early days of its
imprisonment to climb up these slip
perry walls. only to fall back. were
watched with sympathy by the neigh
bors and they became divided into fac
tions-those who thought that the kit
ten ought to be killed and relieved OF
its misery, and those who held that
while there was life there was hope.
The latter fed the cat and gave 1t
water by means of a long string. Dis
contented neighbors many times threw
chunks of poisoned liver. but the
animal never touched it. Meanwhile
the cat grew and every effort was
made to release it, but without sue
cess.
A few days ago the story became
generally known and came to the no.
tice of an ex-cowboy who. with an old
lariat soon dragged the cat from Its
prison. thus removing source OF
much worry to the Society fer Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals.

PoPE'S DEMOCRACY.

The Papacy loves precedents, and
Plus X has been vastly gratified by a
statement put into his hands by one
of his librarians that Pope Sixtus ",
of old time. had sister who. very
finely dressed. was brought to her
brother by the cardinals. Thereupon
the pontiff affected not to know her.
She was therefore hurried out of his
presence. "The cardinals says the
record. led her out of the palace and
had her dressed in her usual clothes
those of a washwoman." Then she
returned and the pope advanced
from his throne. embraced her and
called her his dear sister" Plus \.
has now quotation ready for those
who criticise the present dress of his
sisters.-London Chronicle.

WORK THAT sAoRTENs LIFE.

Metal polishers are said to become
disabled in about seven years. For
that reason they command high
wages. Most OF them die of con
sumption. The stonecutter's life Is a
little longer, but death comes to him
in the same way. Workers in trenches
and sewers. streetcleaners. canal-dig
gers, workers in caissons, tunnels, in
compressed air. bridge builders and
railroad laborers are short lived. The
tunnel under the North river ':ost
more than score of lives by acci-
dents besides permanently impai:ing
the health and shortening the lives
of unknown scores. Building of the
New York and Brooklyn bridges was
very fatal to human life. An engineer
told me that they kept the facts out
of the newspapers as much as po.ssi.

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all injurious chem

DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE.

The widespread condition of danger
to human life in the appliances of our
eager and hurrying civilization can
only be due to certain carelessness.
lack of earnest attention to tne
safety of the community Partly. no
doubt, it is due to too much eagernnss
to save expense and make the greater
profit, even at the risk of occasional
unnecessary losses. Corporations.
capitalists. contractors and builders
need to be held to stricter require
ments and lawmakers and officials
need to be held to higher RESPONSE
bility; but 1t all depends in the last
analysis upon the state Of the public
mind and the spirit of the people
There is where a higher regard for
life and care for tile general security
needs to be cultivated.-New York

English VS.. American Hotels.

Landlord Simeon Ford of New York.
who has just come back from foreign
ports, tells how much easier 1t is to
keep hotel in England than in this
country. If an Englishman doesn't
want mutton chops for his breakfast,
he wants bacon and eggs. The land
lord can depend on that Over here,
however. it is different. The hotel
keeper must cater to dozens Of distinct
food zones, and the bill of fare must
take in everything. Including scrapple.
hog and hominy. pie, doughnuts and
all the other local specialties. The
habit of serving seventy-fve bad
things to eat in seventy-fve separate
canary bird baths I regard as draw
back to our country hotels" says

Fatal Music.

Richard Mansfield is sticlller for
every little point in the presentation
Of his plays, but now and then the
unexpected happens in such a way as
to provoke a smile from one who is
not considered the most humorous OF
actors. In the final scene of "A Peri
sian Romance" Mansfield. as Baron
Chevrial, falls dead at supper, amid
the talking and music. The doctor in
the play calls out: Stop the music.
The Baron is dead." and the curtain
falls.
On one occasion Mansfield was play
ing a one-night stand in small coun-
try town where the music of the local
orchestra was atrocious. At the sup
per scene Mansfield fell dead as usual.
but the actor who was playing the part
of the doctor cried out:
."Stop the music! 1t has killed the
Baron!"
Even Mansfield smiled.

eLuhDER OF THE RICH MAN.


1t is a bad blunder for the rich men
to try to shirk their civic duties. 1t
creates prejudice against them. They
may not care for that, but it is a mat
ter of serious care to them whether
or not the law is upheld. Without
law their vast property interests
would be worth nothing. The more
the people respect the law the better
it will be for the property owners, and
II for no higher and nobler reason it
is clearly in the material interest of
the rich that law an dorder shall pre-
vail and it is therefore in their inter-
est to discharge their civic duties
with faithfulness and with Willingness
and to respond cheerfully to the de-
mands of the state authorities.-Rich-
mond (Va.) Times-Dispatch-
