Prospective Demands Of Japan.

It has been comparatively recently
that Russia vas announcing to the
world at large that at the close of the
war that is new being waged it would
exact its full pound of flesh, and would
brook no outside interference or advice
ina regard. ,th ereto... We. remarked at
the time that such utterapces ineTita-
bly, suggested the preface to the an
cient culinary receipt" first catch
your hare, etc, '-and the proof OF our
provision is found in the fact that the
national press is calmly discussing at
present whas demands Japan will
make at the'conclusion of hostilities,
as though utterly oblivious to the pos
sibility Of Russia having any "say
500 in the matter.
It is not often tht a conquering
nation reapsg the full benefit Of her
victory. A Peace Congress, composed
of representatives Of all the other pow
ers, are very fond Of dividing out
among themselves the fat and fragrant
chesnuts, while kitty is licking her
singed paws.
Japan, however, has had one such
experience and is not, therefore,
liable to make any mistake this time.
When she defeated China she saw
Russia and Germany quietly appropri-
ate the fruits of her victory. And the
Congress of Berlin also stepped in to
prevent Russia from bleeding the
Turk too freely in 1878.
On the other hand Germany was
given an unobstructed hand in regard
to France in 1871, because her terrific
rial acquisitions were formerly leu
tonic, and, hence, her terms were con-
sidered moderate, as we're those that
we imposed upon Spain in 1898.
Japan. therefore, will in all proba-
bility restrain herself, if the victor,
sufficiently 10 give neither Germany
nor France-of whom alone she has
cause to be suspicious-any grounds
for interference.
If she does this, backed by the ad-
vice Of John Bull and the sympathy
of Uncle Sam, she can reasonably
look to having her rational terms ac-
cepted without pour parlers. August
Chronicle.

Pittsburg, June 29.-Over 500
homes, business houses and school
houses, a short distance from Pitts
burg on the Panhandle railroad, were
water in Robinson Run Hollow and
the CHARTERS valley by the cloud st
there last night. Many buildings and
bridges were washed away, horses and
cattle were drowned and at least one
life was lost. The loss amounts to
$500, 600. The Murchland sisters, who
conduct a millinery store at McDon-

They were rescued by Charles Came
ron, who waded out to the building
and carried out the sisters one by one.

Can Animals Blush?

It is hard to tell whether animals
blush. for their faces are covered so
thickly with fur or hair or feathers
that we do not know what may be go!
ing on beneath hide or skin. Were they
as bare faced as man is it is more than
likely we should see them blush, espe-
cally the more bashful sort and those
with some sense of shame.
1t is the case that the faces Of vul-
lures flush. and several of the monkeys
become purple with rage, which may
be considered as kind Of blushing.
This may be proved any day in any
zoo. where the monkeys seem to fly into
passion on the smallest provocation.

Playing Even,

Alfalfa men in western Kansas have
q great grievance against the railroads
and are making some noise about 1t.
They claim the railroads are discrimi-
mating against them. 1t costs IS cents
a bushel to ship alfalfa seed, while the
rate for shipping millet is only 10 cents
a bushel, and they weigh just the same.
Not one railroad man in ten can tell
which is millet and which is alfalfa
seed by looking at it. Inasmuch as the
railroads were giving the farmers the
worst Of 1t some Of the shippers con-
cluded they would turn a trick them
selves, so they have been shipping al
falfa seed and labelling it millet to get
the 10 cent rate. This subterfuge saves
about $3.50 a car.-St Louis Globe

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
MIR. MaIcolm's Partially For Eggs,
and the Cause of 1t.

"On this day, the day of our we'd
ding, l shall eat nothing but eggs,
for it was through an egg that |
won my wife," said George Malcolm
of Cleveland as he ordered DINER
which consisted of eggs in every
style and description known to the
chef of Chicago hotel.
81 have said that it was because
of an egg that first found the wo-
man who has become my wife" he
continued, with a glance at Mrs.
Malcolm, "and | will tell you how
it occurred. just one year ago l
arrived in Chicago and registered at
the Wellington hotel while making
a pleasure trip in the lake region.
The first thing that l ordered was
an egg, and on receiving it | found
in dainty penci!ed lines on the shell,
Rose Edmond, Aberdeen, o. !
wrote to her the following night,
and today she is my wife," he add
ed. "That is why | am so partial to
eggs. Can anybody blame me%
Mrs. Malcolm admitted that she
had written her name upon the egg,
but said she little thought at the
time it would win her husband

sent to Chicago" she said, "that |
thought it would be fun to write my
name on one of them and see if |

Governmental Inspection,

National inspection Of grain is again
being agitated. So influential and con-
sentative a body as the Chicago board
of trade has gone on record favoring
the passage of bill by congress for its
establishment. A uniform system Of
grading grain under the supervision Of
the federal government has its attrac-
tive features. But the greatest care
must be observed In the framing ana
operation Of such law to prevent the
inspection falling into the hands Of
cheap politicians. In such an impor.
tant matter as preserving the integrity
Of impartial and accurate grading
there is no place for the henchmen Of
those with pull in politics.-Ameri

Keep Bees.

The value Of the bee in the work of
fertilizing plants, by carrying pollen
from one plant to another, is greater
than its use in producing honey. In
fact, without the aid Of bees many
crops would be complete failures. Oar
win found that in 100 heads of purple
clover protected from the visitation Of
bees not a seed was produced, while
100 heads visited by bees produced
nearly 5000 seeds. When two varieties
Of certain plants are grown in the same
neighborhood there is a liability Of
cross fertilization, as bees forage over
O large territory. 1t will therefore pay
the farmer or fruit grower to keep at
least one hive Of bees or encourage his
neighbor to do so.

Manure Benefits.

Manure does not give full benefit in
one year. 1t is something that shows
good effects for several seasons. The
reason is that manure does not decom-

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Union- Of Texas Farmers.

URtOn- OF Texas Farmers.
A Dallas Tex) special to the New
York Times says:
The farmers Of Texas are being un-
ionized at a rapid rate, although the
general public had no news OF the
movement until now.
Inquiry develops the fact that there
are more than 1900 unions in Texas.
with total membership Of 10000, and
the organization is spreading like wild
fire. 1t began at Emory, Rains coun-
ty, under the name of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union OF
America" and is now established In
nearly every populous county In the
state.
About the middle of February a
meeting is to be held for completing
a state organization, and it is believed
that the movement will spread to other
states, as did the Farmers alliance,
which originated in Texas. Ex-GoV-
ernor Hogg has been for political &C
ton, and it seems as though they are
taking his advice.
The purposes of the union are to buy
and sell in bulk, to educate along agri-
cultural lines, to study politics and to
discuss political economy. Several
north Texas lodges during the last
few days have made extensive pur-
chases Of supplies in car load lots and
are encouraged by their saving.
Business men and politicians watch
the new movement with keen interest

AppIes and Their Markets.

The high price and shortage of bar
rels has been a great burden to many
apple growers, but in the end 1t may
prove good thing. For one thing 1t
has forced some growers to pack their
best fruit in boxes. This form Of pack
age is sure to grow in favor as soon as
buyers are accustomed to it. This
years shipments will hel's advertise it.
Growers will remember the tremen-
dous apple crop of 1906. The price was
low, and many predicted failure, but
the very low price forced shippers to
send the apples into new markets,
places where such fruit had never gone
before. This created new demands,
which have grown with each year. But
for that year Of cheap apples these de-
mands would be unheard of.-Rural

Use of Lime.

Lime is not used as much as former
". and yet it Is one Of the most essen
tial substances entering into the COM
position of plants. 1t is not only plant
food, but it exerts a chemical effect on
the soil which brings into use other
materials which are beyond the capac-
ity of plants to reduce. When green
food is turned under, lime will be found
valuable adjunct, as it neutralizes
the acids In the soils and combines
with them. It Is heavy substance and
has tendency to 60 down; hence II

any other form, and that from the gas

should not be used If the ordinary
stone lime can be procured. Every
farm should be lined occasionally, as
the benefit is sure to be much more
than the cost, and no harm can result

Care OF Oysters.

The danger of oysters kept SO long in
shops that when sold they are practi-
cally moribund is dwelt upon by DIR.
H. T. Bulstrode in the medical officers
report of the Local Government Board,
says the London Daily Mail.
1.-THE shells of all oysters" he states,
''should be thoroughly cleansed by
scrubbing before the oysters are placed
in a common receptacle, which should
be constructed of white impervious
material and not used for other pur-
poses.
1.-THE shells of a healthy oyster should
be either tightly closed, or, if apart,
they should, when the oyster is held
flat between the fingers and thumb be
felt to be gripped together by means OF
the powerful adductor muscle with
which the oyster is provided. If the
shells cape and do not at once and
vigorously close on handling, the oyster
should be rejected. o-Erchdnge.

Watterson D~espondent.

Colonel Watterson sails for Europe
to-day to seek recuperation and perhaps
temporary oblivion. The shock has
been too much for him. The Knockout
of the party has knocked him out, too.
81 can see neither hope nor future for
the Democratic party" he says, until
something comes along to bust up the
Republican party" The Kentucky
editor declares that the party is 81
strongly entrenched that it can only be
dislodged by a great split in the party
itself or someg great national convulsion.
1.-THE talk of possible victory in 1908 is
absurd. There is nothing to reorganize.
The Republicans are armed with Krag-
Jorgensens, while the Democrats have
nothing but bows and arrows.n
In his pessimism and his dependency
the former guardian of the Star-Eyed
Goddess makes an admission that will
not please his companions in misery.
He says in effect that there is nothing
in his party itselfupon which it can fix
a rallying point, it has no innate force,
it must rely on opportunism. Only
some great calamity can give it any
show. If this is so the Colonel ought
to cheer up bye and bye. His party
has been predicting that Republican
success would bring on calamity of
many varieties, including bankruptcy
and international complications
But we hope he will not stay abroad
until the catastrophe, for he would be
missed a long time NeWdrk advertiser.
