To Extend the Time.
The question of extending the time
for the completion of the asphalt paw
ing from November ! to December l
was brought up and the ordinance per-
hitting this read twice. The passage
of the ordinance was objected to by
the city attorney On the ground that
the Barber Asphalt company had made
no formal application for an extension
of time. The matter was left with
tacit understanding among all the
members that the extension would be
granted.
Petitions and "Reminiscences.
Several petitions and remonstrances
were brought up and disposed of with
dispatch.
A number of property owners and
and Alder streets sent in a petition
respectfully objecting and strenuously
protesting" against the granting of a
license for a saloon in the building
owned by J. S. Barrett They claimed
it would greatly injure the value of
their property and hurt their business.
On motion of Smith the petition was
placed on file. The bond for the license
had already been filed and the money
paid. but Acting Mayor Brewer and
Clerk Reynolds had refused to grant
the license on account of the ordinance
recently passed requiring the consent
of all property owners on $50 feet
each side of a saloon. The following
persons were signers of the petition:

The Mexican Peon.
the Southern Workman.


The typical peon, indifferent to change

in all family relations, and sets an example
in domestic life which ,night be copied with

flowers and music and the beautiful gem

among white people in this western country.
As worker. also, the Mexican woman is in

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Leaven Needed in Relations and
Emergencies of American Life.


1t is natural, wholesome, saving consci-
entousness, applied to all the relations and
emergencies of private and public life. that
is so sadly wanting in many American
communities conscientiousness which re-
suits in something like that system of
honor which distinguishes the student life
of the University of Virginia, and which,
Virginians are apt to maintain, has per-
ceptibly and beneficially affected the tone
of business and other affairs in that COM
monwealth. Downright unscrupulousness
marks the knave; partial lack of scrupie
characterizes the large number of respecta-
Bile men who, as members of boards, as
merchants, as taxpayers, as politicians, as
voters, wink at evil practices in others,
timdly avoid all opposition to official
wrong, and themselves commit slight and
not too conspicuous Irregularities, or give
support for selfish reasons to venal candi-
dates for office. Such ''respectables' are
the despair of the patriotic men who, in our
day and in thousand communities, are
trying to stay the tide of that political cor
ruption which, according to so good
friend of America John Morley, for the
moment obscures the great democratic ex-
pertinent"
1t comes to this. that 1.-The period of cor
ruption" which friends of Americans abroad

a corruption which, while bad enough, is
not SO deeply rooted our enemies believe

growth of sense of honor, of scrupulous-
ness backed by moral bravery, upon the
part of individuals in the republic. 1t is
not fantastic to aver that gift of imagi-
nation would assist some people to be vir-
tuous. If citizen should feel that his own
lack of scruple, in any direction, was
contribution to the corruption and dishonor
of his country. and that his personal with
standing of temptation to do wrong was
not only an act of private virtue, but had
patriotic uses as well-if he were con-
WINGED, for instance, that his refusal to vote
as a trustee for contribution to a bribery
fund or to dishonest boss was a means OF
doing away with Il national disgrace-if he
had the imagination to grasp the large
bearings OF his individual action it would
be easier for him to take stand for right
eousness instead of weakly acquiescing in
some customary wrong. Aristotle's idea of
the state was association in a life of fe-
lfcity and nobieness;" but Christianity
ought not to have to look to paganism for
ideals of good citizenship and the making
of righteous people.

Century Of Bible Circulation.
From Leslie's weekly.

All the churches throughout Protestant
Christendom are called upon to observe
March as bible Sunday" In commence
ration of the foundation of the British and
Foreign Bible Society, which will round
out one hundred Years of its magnificent
and worldwide service on March I. 1t
may be regarded as certain that the
churches will respond unitedly and heart
lily to this call. and enter into the obsery-
ance of the day designated with all zeal
and sincerity, since no work in all the
world is more closely related to their well
fare. their progress and their very life
than the work carried on by this great Ri
bic society and its branches and offshoots
in every land under the sun
The British and Foreign Bible Socjetv
owes it's origin largely to a pathetic Incl
dent related to the English Tract Society
by one of its representatives in Wales. {,
Welsh preacher, who had been deepIv
moved by the Bible famine" then existing
in that country. He showed the need and
the eagerness of his people by telling of
little Welsh girl who had come to him
from distance of between twenty and
thirty miles, over the wild mountains to
purchase Bible In consequence of this
appeal, thought suggested itself to the
secretary of the tract society that IF such
q society We're likely to prove useful to
Wales, why not to the other countries Of
Europe-to the whole world?s' This
thought was destined to result in what
has been called the greatest literary enter
prise OF the nineteen Christian centuries.

The Dangerous Handshake.
From the London Graphic.


The French journals have recently given
publicity to a scientific discovery which
may have considerable influence upon one
of the most ordinary usages of social inter-
course. One NJ. Crouzei, chemist at Bor-
deaux, has discovered that the human hand
is largely occupied in sowing the seeds of
all sorts of diseases. The hand. he says.
is not only the most dirty but the most dan
gerous portion of our anatomy 1t contains
on the average 81. 45O. 900 bacilli Hence, he
argues, people should never shake hands.
We know already that 1t Is dangerous to
kiss; but now as a French paper puts it.
science Is no less hostile to friendship than
to love. All men. however, are not equal
in this matter. You must not shake hands
with physician, surgeon. hairdresser or
.butcher-especially pork butcher. Work.
ers in metal are, however, much less dam
gerous, because the minute metallic par
ticles form, under the influence Of the
hands warmth, an antiseptic oxide 1t is
possible, M. Crouzel says, to protect your
self, if you must shake hands. by using
soap and nail brush for five minutes.
plunging your hand in warm alkaline
solution, rinsing 1t with sterilized water.
drying it on a sterilized rough towel, and
finally washing 1t again in a solution of
alcohol and ether. We commend this pre-
caution to public men in general, and to the
President of the United States in particular.

Uncle Sans cousins across the Pacific

Jeets of the keenest interest to Americans
since the breaking out of the present Russo
Japanese war. and with this growing inter-
est comes the amazing knowledge that
practically nothing is really known of the
domestic existence of these very attractive
orientals.
1t is more than probable that a greater
percentage of Americans have been in
Japan than the people of any other nation
in America, Europe or Africa. for in recent
years it has come to be a proverbial fact
that Yankees in general have seen more
OF the world than anyone else. yet those
who have visited Japan, and thereby gained
a good idea of the people and their Gus
toms. are very far in the minority of those
who have taken in that country merely as
one of the points of interest in their
travels %.
Missionaries to the land of the mikado
and those who have gone there to live for
governmental purposes agree in averring
that to know the country and the people
one must live there for two or three years.
In spite of the progressiveness of the Japs
they say, they still cling to customs and
traditions of home life that are as distant
from those Of the United States as the two

unfamliarity that formerly belonged to
that I'm Japan.
One principal reason for the inability OF
the stranger to learn much of the inner life
of the people of Japan while he is merely
paying a visit TO their land is that their
private life is kept sacredly shut from the
outside world. and no ore who has not been
made "one of the family" in a Japanese
home gain any idea of the manner of
their lie in all its simplicity and pctur-
sequences.
The Japanese House.
A Japanese dwelling, in the first place. Is
quite different from the American notion of
what constitutes a residence There the
great ambition is to have a roof on sup
ports filed in with walls or not according
TO the pleasure of the owner. No cellar is
considered necessary-if considered at all
