The Thrifty Editor.

Not long ago an Eastern Senator
received request from a country edi.
tor in mountainous section for big
package of seeds. He desired a good.
ly number of packages, which were
forthwith sent to him, as 1t was SUP
posed, for free distribution among the
farmers of his vicinity. The Senator
had been in the habit of sending out
big packages of the seeds furnished
by the Agricultural Department. to
prominent men in different localities.
who disposed of them where they
would do good.
Thus the Senator acquired knowl-
edge of a new use for the generous
gratuity of the government. 1t wasn't

ATTACKS DARWIN THEORY.

Holland Professor Electrifies Con.
gress Of Arts and Science by De-
nouncina Popular Idea.
Combating the theory of Darwin as
to the origin of species and advancing
a theory of his own which revolution
ICES all ideas OF biologists and phyolo-
gists, Prof Hugo De Vries, professor
of'botany in the University Of Amster-
dam, Holland, electrified $50 members
of the congress of arts and science
who gathered at the meeting of the
section of phylogony in convention
hall at st. Louis recently.
His address, which gave for the first
time to the scientific world in detail
the results of a lifetime research,
reused immediate interest, and follow
ing the eminent European, Prof.
Charles o. Whitman, of the University
of Chicago, took instant objection to
his theories. President David Starr
Jordan, the most noted of the defend
ers of Darwinism, and biologists from
all sections of the world participated
In the hot debate which followed.
Prof. De Vries does not wholly dis
credit Darwin. On the contrary, he
ratner emphasizes SOME Oh tne mdln
essentials of that renowned scientist,
but in such a manner that il the
thought of the Hollander becomes rec
ognized as a basic principle of evolu-
tion Darwin must necessarily be rele-
gated to the ranks of those who for q
time have occupied the stage Of ac-
tion.
In theoretical language the thought
of Prof. De Vries is in this strain:
Natural selection is only a seine and is
no force Of nature, no direct force OF
nature as has SO often been asserted
Artificial selection consists of two
main principles, called variety-testine
ands racial improvement. Species as
we see them in nature fluctuate within
fixed limits which are not seen to be
transgressed.

WAS A NAIVE COMPLIMENT.
Musician Played So Well That the
Congregation Wouldn't Be
Dismissed.

Reginald De Koven was touring the
country with one Of his operas" said New
York musician, "and a certain Sunday found
him in the town of Dayton.
'"They told Mr.. De Koven that an Epis-
copal church in the neighborhood had SUI
perb organ. Accordingly he went to that
church, nscended to the organ loft, and sat
beside the organist during the mornings
service.
You seem to know something about
music" said the organist in condescending
way. III let you dismiss the congregation
=, Why, yes said De Koven, 4 would Like
that very much
Accordingly, at the end Of the recession
al, he exchanged places with the organist
and began to play Mendelssohn's Spring
Song. He played beautifully. The Dayton
people, enthralled by the wonderful music,
refused to depart. They sat in rapt enjoy.
ment, and after the Spring Song was fin
ished Mr.. De Koven began Chopin's Flu
neral March,
Suddenly. a heavy hand was laid on his
shoulder and he was pushed off the music
stool.
"'You can't dismiss congregation" said
the organist,, impatiently. Watch and see
how soon III get them OUT

Geese Out with Owner.

The unuAual spectacle of a couple OF
perfectly white geese out for an airing
with their owner is frequently seen
about Medford. The birds waddle along
at the mans heels, seemingly interest,"
ed in all that goes on around them, but
never swerving an inch to one side or
the other. Frisking around this queer
lot is little terrier; but the geese do
not seem in the least afraid of Kim.
First he bounds ahead of the group, to
investigate something which has
aroused his curiosity. Then, as if he
had just recalled an imposed duty, he
trots back and takes up his position in
the trail of the birds-Boston Globe.

SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS.
Some Feeders Claim That in Many
Respects 1t Is Superior to
the Best Pasture.

There are several good points Il
favor of silage as a feed for dairy
COWS, and these should not be over
looked when the farmer is debating
what kind of feed he will use. Its
digestibility is increased by the fer
mentation it undergoes, and by some
scientists this increased digestibility
is placed at about 20 per cent. With
silage more bulk of feed can he
raised to the acre than in any other
way Nearly any kind of corn can be
raised for silage and a shorter sea-
son will bring it to the Safeguarding
stage than to the grain-producins
stage. 1t can be harvested in wet
weather and moisture does not harm
it, which is not the case with corn
that is being raised for fodder. AS
plant to grow 1t is not expensive, and
our farmers all know how to harvest
silo is as succulent as the cow ever
gets, and she will do as well on it as
ON the best bluegrass pasture thai
can be grown. Some feeders say that
their cows do better on silage than
on blue grass pasture. Silage can be
used as soiling crop as well as a
winter feeding crop. This is great
advantage when a farmer has enough
to last him over winter and into the
summer season. There is one thing
that should not be lost sight Of in re.
gard to silage and that is that 1t can
be carried over from one year to an.
other and its life can be extended
through q number Of years. This is
not true of fodder, for in the course
of time it deteriorates, though it may
be bright and good throughout the
first winter. None of our farmers
would think of keeping fodder for
two or three years and feeding 1t to
their COWS. The keeping quality OF
silage makes it impossible to make the
abundance of one year balance the
deficiency in another. Silage is very
convenient to use in feeding. probably
more so than any other kind of rough
feed. It's use makes it possible to
greatly increase the stock-carrying
capacity of the farm.-Farmers' Re-
view.

JAPANESE coMPosINo-RooM
Compositor Must Needs Be an Edu-
Gated Man to Handle the
Characters.

Here is an interesting description Of
the conlposing-room of a Japanese news
paper. An English type-setter should
thank his stars that his lines have fallen
in pleasant places. For, see what his
brothers in craft in the land of the ris-
ing sun have to put up with, says London
Tit-Bits.
The Japanese, like the Chinese, employ
a written language-a kind of literary
dialect-that is considerably removed
from the colloquial. They do not, as we
do, write as they speak. This necessi-
tates the papers being printed to an ex-
tent in two languages-the Kama" and
the square characters, one acting as
key to the other. The square characters
are modelled on the Chinese ideographs,
terrible tumble of geometrical figures,
crosses and zigzags, the whole effect pre-
senting the appearance of the trail of
innumerable inky footprints of drunken
flies.
OF these ideographs, at least 1000 to
5000 are in everyday use. So that the
compositor must needs be scholarly
man to recognize these characters at
sight, the strain on the eyes being terri
BILE. In order to facilitate the type-set-
ter's task as much as possible, the COM
posing-room is arranged in the follow
ing manner:
The compositor is seated at little
table, on which are spread AZ Kama"
characters. On receiving his copy he
cuts it into small strips, and hands each
strip to boy. The latter marches along
the room with this strip until finally he
has been able to collect from a number
of cases the different ideographs. Half
a-dozen boys are thus running hither and
thither searching for ideographs, all the
time keeping up dirge-like chant, in
which they sing the name of the char
acter they want, as in order to recognize
1t he has to hear its sound first, no Jap
anese of the lower classes being even
able to read paper or book unless he
reads it aloud.
The writer of this article recalls to
mind his first nights engagement on a
newspaper in Toxic. Hearing a contin-
ual babel of voices and sounds of me)an-
choly attempts at vocalization rising up
|
loss to account for the queer noises,
asked the Japanese manager whether he
conducted a singing class for his COM
positors. He was at once informed that
such was the Indispensable accompani-
ment to japanese compositor's work.
When the boys have collected all their
ideographs they place them before the
compositor, who then has to have re-
course to pair of goggles in order to
decipher the characters fish out the cor
responding types in the Kama" charac-
ter, and, finally, set up the whole in proof
These proofs, again, are sung out aloud
by one proofreader to another, adding
more noise to the hustle and confusion
of weird sounds already reigning in the
room.

Maps.

Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the most
notable English writer's known to the pres
ent generation, was wont to say that moth
ing interested him more than the perusal
of good map; and without doubt, a map
that is well made and accurate catches the
eye and arrests the attention OF many peo-
pie as few other things can do.
The men in charge of railway traffic pos
sess most positive appreciation of this fact
and a large expenditure of time and skill
full thought is made on this feature of rail
way publicity, so that such portions of the
country as the Black Hills in South Dakota,
the wonderful mountain ranges compactly
rising tier upon tier throughout the
central and western portion Of Colo;
California, covered with vineyards, or
ehards and grain fields, Yellowstone
Park, the Yosemite, Alaska, and those
regions of interlacing lakes and water
courses which mark that portion of the great
northwest located in upper Wisconsin,
Iouthern Minnesota and that part of Mich
igan known as the Upper Peninsula, have
been mapped in detail and given to the pub
lie gratis, far and wide.
Said an official OF the Chicago & North
Western, Railway recently:, "The Amer
ican railway map ,engraver has carried his
art well-nigh to the borders of perfection.

detailed data for the state of Wisconsin, for

of summer tourists and fishermen. They are
on file in public libraries as part of their
reference records. Other portions of the
western country have been similarly taken
up and maps OF a most complete character
made for them; in fact, the western lines
are fully alive to the value of a good map

Do Not Kill the Moles.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs of 15 moles
caught in different localities. but
failed to discover therein the slightest
vestige of plants or roots; on the con-
trary, they were filled by the remains
of earth-worms. Not satisfied by this
fact, he shut up several moles in a
box containing sodS of earth, on
which fresh grass was growing. and a
smaller cage of grubs and earth
worms. In nine days two moles de,
voured $40 white worms, 1873 earth
worms, 25 caterpillars and mouse
(skin and bones) which had peen alive
in the box. He next gave them moth
ing but vegetables. In "a hours two
moles died of starvation. Another nat
uralist calculated that two moles de-
stroyed 10000 white worms or gruha
in single year. II this is correct,
1t is n strong argument in favor OF
multiplying, rather Shan destroying
the moles.--St, Louis Globe Democrat
