made lieutenant general, and two years
later secretary of war.
The next year saw Japan in the throes
of a fierce civil war. The rebellion was
led by her greatest soldier, Field Marshal
Saigo, who had with him some $4,000 Of
her best trained samural. Yamagata led
the forces which crushed the rebellion.
Saigo having been slain, Yamagata be-
came the first military man in the en-
pire and was promoted to the full rank
of general.
Being a man of great mental ability,
boundless energy, and strong person.
atty, he soon became almost as prOmi.
nent in the political world as in the mill
tary and was several times prime min
lister.
When war started with China in 1894
Yamagata was Immediately given COM
mand of the first army that invaded
Manchuria. Those who were with the
army at the time describe the immense
enthusiasm with which the coming OF
the great general was created by hts
soldiers. The rigors of Manchurian
winter speedily reduced Yamagata to
such a condition that the emperor, fear
full of losing altogether the services Of
his ablest officer, called him back to
Toxic to act as his chief military adviser.
After the war Yamagata was made a
marquis and the new military rank G.
field marshal was established, to which
he was promoted. When the Russo-japa-
nese situation called for the appointment
of supreme council of war Yamagata
was placed at its head.

DEVELOPING HOLY LAND.
Father Abraham's Country Fast Be-
ing Transformed by Modern
Innovations.

In the Holy Land the sublime porte
has purchased all the railway conces-
sions of foreigners, except the French
concession of the Beirut-Damascus
lines, which is under negotiation, writes
w. H. Ballou, in Railways in the Holy
Land" in Four-Trach News.
His majesty has method in his prog
ress. He will gridiron all the Holy Land
with railroads for his defenses, but he
will make the foreigners, the tourists,
pay the cost by inducing travel in his
domain.
So, too, American agricultural ma
chimes, steam plows and threshers, mo-
tor mills, etc., are allowed to enter and
crush out the last vestige of the methods
Of Father Abraham, in order that i'm
mense crops may enrich the royal rev.
enues. Tourists who do not hasten will
see mighty little of the Holy Land as
described in the books A Turkish sui
tan is in power who believes in great
guns, great railways. great labor-saving
machines, vast crops and grand rev
enues for the royal treasury.

self in the hearts Of his scholars, there
is no oblivion. Death cannot claim
him, for in his handiwork, though he
were dead. he would still live and
speak.
It has been with no small anxiety
cast about for worthy successor to
DR.. Fisk. Fortunately a good man was
at hand. Prof. Arthur Herbert Wilde,
whom the committee in charge Of the
academy have recommended to the uni
versity as acting principal. The nomi-
nation will doubtless be approved. DR..
Wilde is. also registrar in the college
Of liberal arts He was born April 20,
1865, at Saxonville, Mass. and pre-
pared for college in the Newton public
high school. Newton, Mass. He took
the degree of bachelor of arts in Bos-
ton university in 1887, the degree of
bachelor of theology at the same insti-
tuition in 1891, and the degree Of doc
tor Of philosophy at the same institu-
ton In 1901. He taught mathematics
and sciences in New Hampshire Con-
ference seminary from 1887 to 1888,
and Latin and Greek in the same school
from 1888 to 1889. He was instructor
in history in Northwestern university
academy from 1892 to 1901. being on
leave of absence at Harvard university
from 1898 to 1900, was elected assistant
professor of history in Northwestern
university in 1901, and was appointed
registrar in 1902.
Prof. Wilde was known as one OF the
most efficient and interested teachers
in the academy and has become recog.
nized as one of the leading scholars of
the country in his special field-medie-
val history. He was elected instructor
in history in the Harvard University
summer school in the year 1908, and is
considered everywhere as one OF the
leaders in the new school of historical
research and investigation.

Evanston 1l,) Special.

Evanston (lI) special.
The passing of the university year
marks the close of an educational
career as unique as it has been event
full. s"-- -
Prof. Herbert Franklin Fisk. in the
81 years of continuous service in his
position as head of Northwestern Uni
versity academy, has seen the school OF
which he is the honored head grow
from humble beginnings to be lead
ing department of great university
and a recognized leader among schools
Of its class.
In 1857 the trustees Of the university
voted that portion of the university
building be granted for an academic
institution, such as should meet the
approval of the faculty of the univer-
sity." From so pupils in 1860 to 56S
In 1904, from a room in "old prep" to
the dedication of Fisk hall in 1899, and
the memorable educational conference
held last year in connection with the
celebration of the thirtieth year Of DR..
Fisk's principalship, has been the story
Of its material progress. Although
many academies have declined before
the increasing power and influence OF
the public schools, few, among them
Northwestern, have not only lived, but
have thrived and grown-so quietly as
almost to escape notice.
Not only by the noble building that
bears his name is the work of DR.. Fisk
commemorated, but in an even more
lasting way in the lives and hearts of
the 5000 men and women who have
learned to know and to call him mas
ter Inseparably twined with the
traditions of the university, the his
tory of the one is the story OF the
other. Tablets of bronze will corrode;
granite monuments crumble to dust;
but for the teacher who enshrines him.

Had to File Turtles Beak.

The agonizing screams Of ten-year-old
William Lusch attracted crowd from
a radius of several blocks to the front
of Wilkesbarre (Pa) restaurant,
where the lad had foolishly thrust his
finger into the beak of big swapping
turtle. An old inhabitant solemnly adj
jured the boy to be patient, for the turtle
would never let go till it Numbered.
The lads screams were Immediately re-
doubled but the turtle held on. Finally
a blacksmith. who was in the crowd, de-
c1ared he could deal with the situation, II
the boy and the turtle would wait few
minutes. Going to his shop, which was
near by, he got two pairs of tongs and
heavy file. Two men caught the turtles
head with the tongs, while the smith
proceeded to file of the top of the rep
tiles beak. The boy was taken to a
doctora Office where his lacerated finger
was amputated.

Prevention Of Apple scab.

prevention OIL apple Sca0.
Apple scab may be easily prevented by
a couple of sprayings of bordeaux mix
ture, to the second of which paris green
should be added if there is any trouble
from codling moth. In order not to
burn and rust the leaves, the solution
should not be stronger than six pounds
Of blue stone and four pounds of lime to
As gallons Of water. Great empha-
sis should, however, be placed on the
fact that good care will almost entirely
obviate the necessity of spraying. II all
scabby, wormy, rotten fruit and all dead
leaves are carefully gathered up and
either burned or buried deeply, the main
source of infection will be removed. If
in addition to this the ground is kept
entirely free from weeds, the growth of
large crop will be promoted, and the
injury from these two sources will be
so small as to be unimportant

OF Nltle value. A little care at this
time in forming the head, will be OF
great value, and often it means q diff
terence between good long lived and
productive tree. and one that is of
sho1t existence and shows lack Of at
tention. One very important point
that Is frequently not taken into con-
sideratiOn is the length of trunk-all
successful fruit growers regard trees
with long bodies and high head a.
very unsatisfactory. They may appear
to be larger and for this reason would
come into bearing earlier; but If this
be true, such trees are more likely to
be injured by hot winds during sum-
mer and the thawing and freezing win
ter weather. The trunks are exposed
SO these elements have free access to
the body. It is this frequent thawing
and freezing in winter that produces
sun scald.
To obyiate this trouble all grower:;
now prefer low-headed trees. Branches
are formed one to two feet from the
ground. See figure When headed in
thia manner the bdl and small body
is properly shaded. Trees with low
heads are not SO liable to be in
jured by strong winds. The fruit will
not be blown OF in such quantities and
It 81 much easier gathered; often
times most Of it can be picked from
the ground, especially II the tree be Of
. spreading habit OF growth. After
the tree has reached four or five years
of age twill be discovered in exam
fnation that the buds are not all alike.
On two-year-old wood or older fruit
spurs are formed on which the fruit
is grown. The spurs are usually one
half to three inches long and may be
mistaken for short branches. It IS
very important that they are taken
into consideration when pruning. The
time for pruning Is debatable ques-
ton and in the very cold sections 1t
is considered safer to prune through
March. after the severe freezing wealth
er 10 over. and before the sap begins
to start.
When moderate-sized limbs ore to
he removed q sharp saw should be
useh and the limbs cut close to the
main stem: il q stub is left the cam
blum layer will not form and 1t is LETT
to decay. This frequently causes the
trunk to become hollow. All branches
that cross or interfere should be re-
moved The top should be opened but
not too much, or the branches may be
ini,.red by the hot winds OF summer,
or the driving winds Of winter. Some
Of the best pruning tools are those that
will remove the wood with the least
possible injury to the tree. The medi-
nm-sfzed knife with curved edge IS
verv good IN removing limbs less than
ona inch in diameter. Branches Ut
ia larger than this should be re-
loved with hand pruning shears.

Dustless Roads for France,


The engineer for the Seine and ma
rine departments in France reports
that trials of mixture of oil and De-
troleum as dust preventive have been
unsuccessful. In the summer of 1902
a coating of tar was tried on seven diff
ferent lengths OF road. After careful
investigation during period Of IL
months, it was found that dust and
mud had wholly disappeared and the
cost of maintenance had been reduced.
The tar forms an elastic skin. which
deadens the sound Of traffic and re-
duces the resistance. It appears that
the tarring method involves no great
er outlay than that for coating with
oil.

MEDICAL MENTION.

4 London medical journal says that
slaves of alcohol and narcotics run
great risks of being buried alive, espe-
cially In hot countries, where interment
soon follows death.
The Paris academy OF medicine, in
view OF the excellent results obtained
In divers countries by the mechanical
protection of houses against mosquitoes,
has resolved that the military authori-
ties should adopt similar precautions,
more especially in the French colony
OF Madagascar, where mosquitoes which
spread malaria abound.
Prof. Cornet, long assistant to Prof.
Koch, of Berlin, spilled the sputum OF a
consumptive on the carpet of room
in which he kept 4S guinea pigs. He al
lowed it two days in which to dry. Then
the room was violently swept so as to
raise dust The guinea pigs breathed
In the dusty air. All but two of them
contracted consumption.
According to DR.. Graham, of Beirut,
another disease is to be set down against
the mosquito, namely dengue fever, va
rfously called African fever, break-bone
fever, giraffe fever, dandy fever, etc.
The disease is an acute eruptive fever,
rarely fatal, but leaving various disa-
greeable sequels-paralysis, insomnia,
marked mental and physical prostration,
etc. DR.. Graham found that he could
regularly produce an attack of dengue
in non-immune by submitting the
latter to the attack of mosquitoes which
had fed on sufferers from the disease.
Medicinal herb farms will become a
necessity in the United States. Spigelia
(pink root, serpentaria and sanega (the
two varieties of snakeroot) which were
formerly found in abundance wild in
Maryland and other Atlantic states, are
becoming scarce. SIENNA, colocynth,
