The case of Japan by an American
Counsellor of the Japanese Legation
in Washington, is a timely article in
the April Leslie's Monthly, and the
best presentation Of Japan's side in
the present struggle that has been
put in English. There is a brilliantly
illustrated article on "Our Melan.

while it makes us think, and an in.

Action That Stays.

Action in the gait Of a horse Is to
a large extent inbred. A good many
horsemen succeed in educating horses
to step correctly, but this education
does not stick with good many
horses. Some horsemen shoe their
horses heavily in front to get them to
pick their knees up. but this does not
become fixed habit, and tho horse
soon falls back into the old ways
when he gets used to the heavy shoes.
Some try speeding the horse over sol
ground, and to some extent this I'm.
proves his gait, II it is continued long
enough to develop the muscles con.
cerned in that action, but II the speed.
ing is discontinued for a long time the
action disappears. Another way 10
induce an artificial action Is to lay
down poles for the horse to step over.
but this. too. produces but temper.
airy improvement. Only by selecting
and breeding can the action Of the
horse be permanently improved

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop Of 10000, 900 Bushels Of Whoa
Will Be the Record of 1904.


The results of the threshing in
Western Canada are not yet complet
ed, but from information at hand. 1t Is
safe to say that the average per acre
will be reasonably high, and fair
| estimate will place the total yield Of
wheat ut 60,O0O,00O bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
Of the farmers nearly $G0.0OO,000.
Then think of the immense yield Of
oats and barley, and the large herds
of cattle, for all of which good prices
will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can

"Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions of unusual diff

and Northwest Territories will aggrc

bushels. The quality Is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel."
Frank II. Snearman. in the Satur-
day Evening Post. says:
when our first transcoptinental
railroad was built. learned men at

was projected; but the real granary
Of the world lies up to 800 miles north
OF the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day Is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for its bread. Rail.
road men see such day; 1t may be
hoped that statesmen also will see It.,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.

Why Stock Need Fresh Air.

Formerly all classes OF cattle were
considered upon the same general plan
as to stabling and care, but today the
experienced feeder of beef cattle Sc

allowed to seek shelter at will, to
choose between outdoor and indoor
conditions, as the system may dictate,

herds, for the cows quite closely con-
fined, well protected from cold and
storms, yield most returns for food
consumed. This, however, brings to
our attention the possibilities of dis
ease, unless these animal quarters are
well supplied with pure air and sys.

We are told that all the activities OF
the body are dependent upon the cir.

blood Is forced to the lungs, where
about eighteen times each minute
supply OF fresh air finds its way down
the very small air tubes leading to the
air cells, whose walls are composed of
extremely delicate tissue or membrane,
which Is crossed and recrossed by
countless numbers of tiny blood pas
sages from which this waste product
from the body, called carbonic acid, in
quantities one hundred times as great
as pure air contains, finds it's way
from the blood to these air cells. At
the same time the oxygen OF pure air
passes into the blood, and very i'm.
portant transfer takes place. In about
two minutes every portion of the blood
Is returned to again unload more
refuse matter and be replenished with
the oxygen Of pure air, the wonderful
invigorator of the system.
1t is said that in an animal of / 900

Valuable Artificial Fall,

Tho Swiss engineers have worked
out plans for tapping the Lake of Sils
in the Engadine and letting the water
drop down the mountain side. thus
creating a fall that would yield $4,000
horse power. During the tourist sea-
son the lake would resume it's normal
appearance, owing to the nee ~ssity of
storing the water.

A NON-PARTISAN OPINION.

II Mr.. Parker's selection has indeed
been favored by certain captains of in
dustry and masters OF finance, it is not
for moment to be supposed that they
have thought a weak rather than a
strong man could be chosen president of
the United States. Nobody who knows
him thinks Of Judge Parker as a weak
man; and the utmost criticism that
could be brought against him upon
grounds Of personal qualification can be
stated in word, namely, that Judge
Parker has not been tested in national
affairs, either legislative or executive,
and is therefore not widely known to
the people Of the country.-From "The
Progress of the World" in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for August.

When President Roosevelt ap ointed
Bryne, Addicks' henchman in Delaware.
to be United States district attorney for
Delaware, the senate refused to confirm
the nomination on the ground that he
was unfit and incompetent. Even Sena'
tor Hoar refused to vote to confirm. All
attempts to force the nomination through
the senate failed. And now President
Roosevelt has again taken up this man
80 severely denounced by Delaware citi'
zens and 30 thoroughly turned down by
the senate, and made him district at.
tQrney in New York. Addicks, however,
seems to have enough "pull" with the
president to secure recognition for his
understudies, and what Delaware re-
fused has been foisted off upon New
York. 1t remains to he seen whether
New York will submit to the imposition.

In the supreme court of Spokane coun-
ty last week an additional decision was
handed down declaring the peddlers'
license law unconstitutional. The Judge
ruled that it was class legislation and
that the amount Of license imposed
clearly indicated that it was intended to
be prohibitory and not regulative. The
supreme court has not passed upon the
points raised, but, granting that the ex-
listing law is unconstitutional. merchants
should not be discouraged. The expert.
ence in Iowa indicates, says the West
Coast Trade, that it is possible to pass a
peddlers license law that will stick, and
the retail grocers, and general mer
chants association should give the mat.
ter of securing protection from this
source careful study. The peddler evil
is on the increase in many parts OF the
Northwest, and the desira bility OF secur-
ing an effective license law. is possible,
needs no argument.

Some objection is being made to Mr..
Davis the democratic candidate for vice
president on account Of his age. This
objection is not valid. Mr.. Davis, as all
know who enjoy his personal acquaint-
ance is exceptionally we'll preserved for
one of his age. No one would guess him
more than seventy and doubtless he
feels younger than that. To Offset any
argument that may be made against his
age it must be remembered that his
nomination encourages aspirants for
high Office to join the democratic party.
In 1896 the party elected presidential
candidate who was only thirty.six. As
its vice presidential candidate is eighty
it is evident from the record that there
are forty.four years In every democrats
life during which he is eligible to place
on the national ticket. What party can
offer more in the way of opportunity?

The Minneapolis Jouanal, published
ia the city once presided over by Mayor
Ames. says: ut might have been an
oversight, but the democratic convention
never Endorsed the supreme court OF
Missouri" Perhaps the esteemed Jour-
nal can assure us that it was an over
sight that the republican platform did
not indorse the supreme court OF Mime
sofa in its position on the Ames case.
And perhaps the Journal can assure US
that it was an oversight that the republi-
can platform never Endorsed the republi-
can governor of Indiana in his refusal to
honor a requisition for fugitive from
Kentucky Justice because that fugitive
happens to be q republican prominent
enough to be cheered to the echo by a
republican national convention, which
said fugitive attended only after being
assured that no Kentucky sheriff would
be allowed to drag him hack to answer
to the charge Of assassination. While
speaking of oversights the esteemed
Minneapolis Journal should take in the
whole field.

A Bird Friendship.

The rector of Woolstone, Mr.. Gilbert
Coventry. told me Of wild rock dove
which one Of his stable boys had reared
from the nest. 1t slept in the open,
however, and had full liberty. Soon
the good things on the rector's table at
tracted 1t, and it would appear through
the open window at mealtimes, take
hot soup with much zest and even sip
sherry from wineglass. At night 1t
often slipped in and slept in the rec
tors bed on its back under the coverlet.
One Sunday morning during the read
ing Of the lesson the dove flew swiftly
through an open window into the
church and settled on the rector's head.
Broad smiles spread over the faces of
the elders and audible filters came
from the youngsters. A gentle touch
sent the bird down to the edge of the
clerks desk below, where it sat undis-
turbed.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Art of Making Hay.

How and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be
known. for haymaking is process"
and the product is not simply sun dried
grass, but grass which has been partly
fermented, and is as much the work
of mems hands as -four or cider. Prob
ably its discovery was due to accident,
but possibly man learned it from the
pikas, the calling hares" Of the steppes,
which cut and stack hay for the win
ter. That idea would fit in nicely with
the theory that central Asia was the
"home of the Aryan race" if we were
still allowed to believe it, and hay
making is certainly an art mainly prac-
ticed in cold countries for winter for
age.-LOndon Spectator.

AL. FAVOR 1T.

1t is significant that although republic
cans, as well as domocrats and populists,
have expressed themselves in favor Ct
the election OF United States senators by
popular vote to The extent that among
the rank and file OF all political parties
there seems to be no division on this
question, the republican national con-
vention failed to incorporate in its plat.
torn popular election plank.
Through the p'nyiorm of 1904 the
democratic par! and us .opl esentatives
are solemnlv pledged to do all in their
power to bring about this important re-
form in the a'ecton.of senators.
1t is st'an- fbal with public senti-
ment SO oYor8Ae' mingly in favor OF this
reform, republican senators have been
able to delay the.rood work. Perhaps it
is not so str a3 that the republican ma
tional convention, controlled as it was
by a handful oitmeu, failed to give ex-
preston to what is on this point un.
doubtedly the sentiments of the rank
and file OF the republican party. The
Nebraska legislature..::of 1908 was over
whelmingly republican, and yet, the
sentiment among republicans, as well as
among men of all other political parties,
was so strongly in favor OF the election
OF senators by the people that the Ne
braska Legislature adopted resolution
in favor of the proposed reform. The
Michigan legislature, Ealso republican,
adopted similar resolutions in 1901.
Resolutions favorable to the election of
senators by popular vote were adopted
by republican,. legislatures as follows
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Utah, California,
Oregon, Minnesota, Idaho and South
Dakota.

The old adsge that "politics makes
strange bed.fellows" ia again verified by
the queer, not to say humorous, political
situation in West Virginia. Mr.. Davis,
the democratic nominee for vice presi.
dent. is the father-in.law of Senator
Stephen B. Elkins Of that state Senator
Elkina is credited with having placed
West Virginia in the republican column.
and Mr.. Davis is relied upon by his
party to swing his own state into line for
the democratic ticket. 1t is not often
that such condition exists in national
campaign, and it ill be watched with
great interests by the voters of the
country.

The creeping plant we call myrtle is
not myrtle at ALL but should be called
by its proper name, periwinkle. Botan-
lcally 1t is Vinca minor. Long ago it
used to be called "the ivy of the
ground" Chaucer mentions it as "fresh
pervincke, rich of hew." The large
blue flowers are very pretty. In Tus-
cany it is known as 1.-The death flower
on account of its being so often planted
upon graves, custom which is begin
ming to prevail in this country. There
is pretty variegated leaved variety
and also sport with white flowers not
SO pretty as the blue.
