in Japan you must go to the temples
In the courts of the house of Buddha
holiday-attired children swarm like
hiving bees, as gorgeous as Red Ad-
miral butterflies in their rich brocades
and crimson obs. 1t is there that you
see the best toy-shops, both for girls

shade of the sacred temple trees, that

only in heart, but in deeds.
But these erdless temple-fairs and

many years learns strange lessons III
the simple pleasures of life and in the
peace which flows from gentle hearts,
are, alas! gradually growing fewer
and fewer, for board schools will not
permit almost as many holidays in the
year as there are saints days in the
Catholic calendar. II the real Japan
children never went to school. They
were taught at home. But it would be
wrong to give the impression that,
though they live in their streets where
they are protected from all dangers
by dozens of strange little charms,
they receive no proper home training.
Perhaps no other children in the world
ever did receive such strict home
training or were educated so carefully
as the children of vanishing Japan. For
although the majority Of girls knew
only few of the Chinese characters Of
their alphabet, every boy and girl
knew the ancient as well as modern his
tory of their nation. and all it's rich
folk lore. Children often accompanied
their parents to the theater. and there
they had very wildly imprinted on
their minds all the classical dramas

Teaching a Calf to Drink.

Pour fresh milk in the pail to the
depth Of about one-half inch. Gently
place the calf's nose into the milk
and against the bottom Of the pail.
1t will soon get a taste of the milk
and will begin to sip and suck on the
bottom Of the pail. When the milk
is gone, replace it with the same
amount as before, and continue till
the calf has enough. If car is taken
not to put enough milk in the pail
so as to cover the nostrils of the
calf, it will soon learn to drink When
it has learned to drink, a small guam
tity more can be added each time
until the lesson Is fully learned and
then the amount required for a feed
ing may be placed in the pail with
out fear Of the calf not drinking 1t.

house came to an end in 1870, and the
direct female line expired in 1862, IA
years before the American Declara-
ton Of Independence.
The reigning family of China Is ever
more modern than that of the Car.
Though the Chinese Emperor claims
to be descended from the Sun, histori.
cally his family is younger than that
of a Mayf1ower descendant. He Is de.
scended from a Manchu chief, who
made his appearance in China in 1914
and drove out the lawful sovereigns
Of the country.
This Manchu chief was a successful
soldier, and that is all that is known
about him.
He was, in all probability, what
would be called in these days a self.
made man.
Edward VII, If he were not a king
would be known as Mr.. Victim, for
that was his fathers family name
His family trace back to 919, which is
a pretty long way for a European
King to go.
The Emperor William of Germany,
If he were bound to have a family
name, might call himself Mr.. Bur.
chard, for he is descended from Bur
chardus, of Zolorin, and Burchardus is
nothing more than the Latin form of
B%urchard.
But people had no in the
days when old Burchardus lived, and
when the family began to prosper and
built a castle at Hohenzollern they
took their name from that place.
The Emperor goes back in his gen
ealogy to 1861, the days Of BURGLAR
dus.
The Emperor Of Austria calls him
self a Hapsburg, but really the male
line Of the Hapsburgs became extinct
years ago, and he represents 1t only
through the female side. His family
name, If he had one, would be Eber-
hardt or Everard, for it was a man of
that name who laid the foundations
of the fortunes Of the family In the
male line in Alsace in the ninth CEN
fury.

Have Your Farm Vaccinated.

Have you had your farm vaccin-
ated? If not, you should proceed to
have it done at once.
Science has done a great deal for
the farmer 1t has killed the bugs
and worms that prey on his crops; it
has treated his animals when sick and
saved their lives; it has experimental
with seeds and raised the quality and
quantity of their yield; it has done a
great many things to help him achieve
success. The latest service of spe-
cial interest of which we have heard
Is noted in the National Geographic
Magazine, where it is shown that the
process of inoculating sterile ground
and making it bring forth the fruit in
abundance Is an easy task. ~Inocula-
ton to prevent smallpox, diphtheria,
rabies, etc, we know about, but 1t is
quite as mysterious as the incubation
of old worn-out soils to make them
fertile.
The germs make for fertility of
the soil. They are collected or gener-
ated by the department Of agriculture,
according to this veracious authority,
and sent by mail in q small package
about like a yeast cake. The cake is
said to contain millions of dried
germs. 1t is thrown into a barrel of
pure water and turns it a milky white,
Seeds of grain and grasses are washed
with this water and when planted are
said to produce wonderful results
even on what is regarded as exhausted
soil. The land is really treated to an
incubation and cured Of It's disease of
barrenness. Have your farms vacci-
mated and get rich from the big crops
you will raise.-Minneapolis Journal.

THE ROMP BEFORE BED.

When Bessie gets her nightie on and
wants to romp with me,
And lodges here and scurries there, and
shouts with baby glee,
I wouldn't change my fortune for the
state of any king,
L wouldn't give her love for all the joys
that wealth may bring!
der laugh is sweeter than the song Of
any sylvan brook,
And l see Gods best promise in her
%sinless, happy look
Her little toes, all pink and white, ap-
pear and disappear,
AS, dancing round me with delight, she
calls me daddy dear"
L catch her fondly in my arms and toss
her in the air,
And set her down to chase her as she
hurries round a chair,
While mamma calls, Now, that will do!
You're catching cold, l know
Its time that children were in bedp' We
never heed her, though,
And Bessie makes a rush, while I whoop
like a savage chief,
And dodge away and keep it up till some
one comes to grief
L know a man whose lot Is drawn
who'll catch it dreadfully
When Bessie gets her nightie on, and
comes to romp with me.

Farm Notes.

Good farming is impossible without
good teams.
The secret Of success in stock raising
Is superiority in quality.
Superior roadsters are gifted with
both speed and bottom.
Feed the pigs refuse fruit and veg
etables from the garden.
The best sheep Is the most profit
able one under all circumstances.
Breed the horse first for strength
and endurance and then style.
A horse with an unruly disposition
in very many cases Is Of little or no
account.
Clover Is n of the best Of green
manurial crops, a great r~estorer Of
worn-out lands.
