Ping Yang, which is mentioned fre- quently in war dispatches, is both the name of a province and it's capital. The province is laved on the west by the waters of the Yellow sea, bounded on the north and south by the Yalu and Ta-dong rivers, respectively, and cut off from the east by high range of noun tians. The history of this region takes us back over 5000 years, to times con- temporaneous with King David, when Ki-ja, a great Chinese sage, came and founded kingdom, with Ping Yang as it's capital. As sign that his king dom was founded in peace. and as a constant reminder to his people, he planted long line of willows along the river flowing opposite the city, so Ping Yang is known among Far Orientals as the Willow Capital.

parent inconsistency of the flames and the strange freaks of the wind. It was a short time after the fire that farmer brough to the city 16O pounds of leas tobacco. He explained to the purchaser of the leaf that he had gath cred it from his land. seven miles away. and that he supposed it to be from a big warehouse that burned. The owner Of an oyster pungy that lay at dock when the fire began had the craft lowed into the middle of the stream when the blaze threatened. Seven miles down the river the captain found in the stern a bit of blackened paper. and he was about to brush it overheard when he noticed its texture. A close examination showed it to be a charred s10O bill, which he carefully preserved in a pock- etbook. At the b-Treasury the burnt bill was redeemed. At Bear Creek, Maryland. thirty miles from Baltimore, a scorched postal card with the super scriDtion of the Third National bank

HLGH-ELYING .JnDGES.

A St. Louis judge, in granting di- vorce to the United States wife of European nobleman, said: Tt is always the way these foreigners treat their American wives. Ambitious mothers and cultivated daughters travelling abroad are constantly falling into traps such as these. The courts are full of such cases. It seems to me that moth CTS ought to wake up some time.' In this particular case the wife's fortune had been squandered by her titled hus- band. He also treated her cruelty.
 Judges do say some queer things. Tho other day one said that wife ought to do her duty by her husband pending the outcome of a suit for di- vorce brought by her. And now, one says that mothers ought to have differ ent notions about the marriage of their daughters. Some judges are certainly flying high nowadays. Their attempts to tell that queen of all women, the United States wife and mother, what she ought to do are worth the attention of the students of sociology who are going about looking for prey for their ravenously inquiring minds When the United States wife and mother shows any doubt as to what she ought to do and will do that will be time enough for a male judge to tell her. Until then male judges will do well to contine themselves to matters which they know something about and can influence. The United States wife and mother can take care of herself and such daughters as she may have. And if she or they need marriage or divorce she and they know how to get either or both.

UNAPpnroiArrD PERFORMERS

Chicago's death rate may be rapidly on it's way down to below zero but there is evidently something the matter with life there. For instance, reform and reformers are not appreciated there as they are in some places. The Building Janitors and Window Wash CTS Union of Chicago demands an in crease of wages. The building mana gers, on the other hand, think the wages now given should be reduced. Both sides have expressed a willing ness to arbitrate the matter Both par ties, in expectation of such controver- sies, have standing committee of two on arbitration. The four are expected to agree on a fifth arbitrator. The Building Janitors and Window Wash CTS Union submitted to the representa- tives of their employers the names of three persons with either of whom, as fifth man, they would be satisfied. One was rejected because he was too friend-
 
 ly with the unions; the other. two, both judges, were rejected because they were politicians. Then the other side pre- scented a longer list of men with either of whom it would be satisfied. They were eminent citizens-H. H. Kohlsaat, Victor F. Lawson, Walter L. Fisher, J. V. Farwell, jr., Louis A. Seeberger and Edwin Burritt Smith. The response to this proposition by President Fieldstack of the union was: No .reformers in mine. If they (the building managers) can't accept our men because they are politicians we can't accept theirs be- cause they are worse. They are reform CTS as well as politicians. Better to strike than have any of that bunch act as umpire.'
 We'll, well! Are reformers worse than politicians, and Chicago politicians at that? We cannot believe it. Re formers in this region may not be as smart as politicians, but they are not worse than politicians.

4 UNIQUE MAP.

There will be many interesting things at the St. Louis fair. One of the unique exhibits prepared by the Uni versity of California agricultural de- partment is a large map colored to show the nature of the States soils, Dr. Robert H. Loughbridge, assistant professor of agricultural geology and agricultural chemistry, has supervised the making of this chart, task which has never before been done in this fashion. The map gives a remarkably clear idea of the situation and extent of the cultivable and uncultivable regions. Of the latter there is surprisingly large area, including high cost range mountains, the high Sierra, lava beds, and desert. In spite of the preponder- .ance of useless territory, the rich arable lands are scattered generously through out the State. The map indicates the location of cultivable coast range noun tains and the redwood region, the in- terior high valleys and mesa and cul- tivable portions of the Mojave plateau The southern California granite lands also appear as a separate district. The are graded twice, from the val ley floor to 2,5OO feet elevation, and from 2,5OO to $500 feet. The valley re- zion has alluvial lands, the white ash lands, and the red lands of the San Joaquin: tule, black adobe, and black lands, river and lake lands, and the bedrock land of the Sacramento.

Mime. de Thibes of Paris has issued an almanac whose pretensions to prophecy make the humble attempts of the American weather rprognosticatoro half a century ago seem insignificant. For March she predicts extravagant and ex- citing. Stock exchange deals; for April, unexpected and ridiculous marriages and divorces; for May, a crisis in France and the death of the German emperor, while Austria will be menaeed in June. It is scarcely necessary to go through the year with Mime. de Thibes' list of calarnities and the many tragic signs she professes to see for America, including some physical catastrophe which will bring much mourning"

Tn April or May, says South Africa, the first through train will be run from Cape Town to the zambesi. Two months ago the rails were within forty-eight miles of Victoria Falls and the founda- tions for the bridge over the zambesi were being excavated. The bridge will be completed during the present year. The next section of the railway, cxtend- ing from the river $50 miles to Broken Hill in the direction of Lake Tangan- yika, is soon to be commenced. Broken Hill, named after the famous silver mine in Australia, is said to be the most erals in Northern Rnodesia.
