TRAVELLING IN A JINRIKIsHA.

PhlladclphianS who have never visited
any part of the east are familiar with
tie appearance of the light japanese
lnan-drawn carriages called iinrikishaS.
as they have frequently been used for ad-
vertSlng purposes IN the streets of the
Quaker city. People sometimes speak of
''rickShaws,' following the example set
by Rudyard kiphng in one of the most
famous of his short Stories but that is
quite wrong. The word is compounded
Of jim, which means man; .'riki. 3"
which means power. and "sha." a wheel
or carriage. 1t thus denotes. as will be-
seen, Il man-D0wer carriage"
Iinrikisha pulling is very hard work
and the runners are said To suffer from
heart disease. like the professional atb-
leteS of England and America. Yet the
japanese, through long Familiarity with
TINS mode of travel. have no mercy on
the poor jinrlkisla pulIerS. and never

WORK ON THE BIG CANAL.

There has been so little of fuss and
of work on the Panama canal that it
has attracted small notice. Many peo-
pie, prone to take notice, fail to realize
that work on the greatest waterway
of the world has actually begun. Still
there are an army Of engineers busy
on surveys, water supply, etc., SAN
itary force at work and several thou
sand laborers busy at construction of
warehouses, setting up machinery and
moving material. Even now, with the
old machinery, excavation is in prog
ress, and half the maximum amount of
dirt capable of being moved by the
old machinery when it was new is be-
Ing handled daily.
When the American engineers get
fairly to work, it is expected that exca-
walton viii be done far more rapidly
and cheaply than under the French re-
CINE. Even now the report says that
the unit cause Of excavating has been
reduced So per cent from that of the
French company. We are not inform
total cost of the canal were based OH
the work done by the French. If they
were, the cost is likely to be reduced
from those estimates by the efficiency

GROWING in Value.

The Missouri mule, apparently with
out any kicking, If price is a criterion,
is rapidly enrolling himself. In fact, IL
values only are considered not many
years will elapse before only the very
rich can afford to utilize him, and then
only as a carriage animal The officer
in charge Of an exhibit made by the
United States army, at ST Louis, says
that the records of his department
show that the average cost per head OF
pack mules to the government in 1893
was $72.93, since which time 1t has
gradually increased. The average price
paid by the government for that class
OF animals during the first six months
of 1904 was $11S05. While the price
paid for draft mules in 1898 was $685.
S4 per head. during the first six months
of 1904 they brought, on an average,
sl60.s5. This officer is OF opinion that
good draft mules will bring next year
5000, while pack mules cannot be had
for less than $3.50 each. In this con-
nection, the government buys more
mules in Missouri than in any other
state. What few it does not secure
in this state, it buys I'm Kentucky,
Tennessee and Texas. st. Louis is adj
mitted to be the best sales market, and
therefore breeders in the states mem
toned ship their mules to this city to
be sold Anyhow, the mule has no
reason to fear the automobile as a
competitor. either In the pack or draft
business.

Telling Horses Aqe by Teeth.


A. writer on the horse asserts that
the lower front teeth, IL healthy, and
natural, are practically an accurate
guide in determining his age. He says:
"A yearling has very short teeth, witt
deep cups in the center; me two end
ones being shorter than the others. A
two yearold has short teeth, with
comparatively shallow cups. A three
wear old has two long teeth in the
center, with two short or colt teeth
on either side. A four year old has
four long teeth, with one short one on
either side. A fve-year- old has six
long teeth, with deep cups in the CEN
tiers. A six-year-o has shallow cups
in the two center teeth. A seven
wear old has the center teeth worn
nearly smooth. and the cups of the
second pair shallow. An eght-year-
old has the second pair worn nearly
smooth. a ten-year- old is commonly
spoken of as n smooth
horse; that is, no cups. AS the ami
mai grows older the teeth become worn
in proportion. The corners of the end
teeth become rounded. To tell the age
with any degree Of accuracy beyond
tweIve years requires much experience
and the examination o. many sets OF
teeth "

"A STATE CORRESPONDENTS SCHOOL

A form Of university extension work
that will be carefully watched by ed
ucators and copied il successful by
other schools, is to be given trial by
the State University of Minnesota.
There has been organized what will he
known as the department of home
study and correspondence, which is in
effect q correspondence school similar
IN scope to the private schools estab-
lished as private enterprises and which
have not only proved profitable to their
promoters, but extremely valuable aids
I'm the prosecution of special studies
The Minnesota school has arrange
upwards Of fifty collegiate and acad
emic courses, the direction of universe
ty and normal school instructors of the
state for the advantage, of students
preparing for college or those pursu-
ing special educational courses.
There is no doubt that a depart
ment of this character may be made
extremely serviceable. Almost any
body eager for an education can read
and study at leisure, but few know
how to direct their study and reading
to the best advantage. This is the
particular service which the university
correspondence department undertakes
to render to people who are engaged
In teaching or professional work or are
otherwise occupied. 1t Is part Of the
educational duty of the university to
the state that supports it, and should
as it doubtless will meet warm re-
eeption from the class it is intended
to benefit.
