JAPANESE ART is POETIC.
Oriental Artist Seeks to Depict Sen
timent in Canvas Of
Landscape.

The oriental artist does not so much
seek to transcribe nature as to suggest
i1er reoods. says Atlantic. His inter-
est is centered in the poetic sentiment
which she elicits. The saying Of the
Japanese that picture is "voiceless
poem" is particularly appropriate to
their landscape painting. Our best ar
fists also seek to express the poetry of
nature. But they find it in many
things. Our aesthetic pleasure in land
scape is complex one The Orienoal,
on the other hand, in conformity with
his type of mind, finds it in the dom
inant character-in that which remains
when all accidents are eliminated; in
other words, when it has been simpli-
fed and idealized "For a landscape
painting" to quote a japanese critic,
sis not loved because it is facsimile
of the natural scene, but because there
is something in it greater than mere ac-
curate representation Of natural forms,
which appeal to our feelings, but which
we cannot express in words"

HISTORY IN FRENCH ARMY
Ruling That No Events Earlier Than
1915 Shall Be Taught Is Rid
iculed by Writer.

To those people who are never so hap
py as when they are asserting that Eng
lish officers are taught nothing and
know no military history the debate in
the French senate on the war budget
must have come as bit of shock, says
an English writer. Comte de Trev-
eneuc discussed the new scheme for the
admission of cadets into Saint-Cyr, the
Sandhurst of France, and pointed out
that no history is to be taught previous
to 1915. That such a fantastic limit
should be laid down seems absolutely in
credible Even il modern France alone
is held worthy Of being subject of in
StructiOn, the date fixed for a commence
ment should have bsen 1889 Modern
France is the outcome of the revolution,
and the continent Of Europe is parti-
toned under its influence, direct or in
direct. For student of parliamentary
debates 1915 is possible date at which
to begin to date French history; but for
Saint-Cyr it is absurd. For the future
French officers will know nothing of the
wars of the revolution and of the empire.
They will not learn how the battles OF
Valmy, Wagram, Austerlitz, and Jena
were won or how those of Leipsic and
Waterloo were lost All that they will
know of Napoleon is that he died at ST.
Helena, and O. Marshal Ney that he was
shot. The 20 years from 1895 to 1915 are
absolutely necessary for any student of
military history; and, despite the croak-
ers, we can at any rate say that in this
respect they do not manage things bet
ter in FraIce.

BLAINE KNEW THE FAMILY.
Kept from Falling Asleep in Church
by Memorizing Words Which
Served Him Well.

A gentleman prominent in Cambridge
told this anecdote to the Boston Herald
Of the late Hon. James G. Blaine not
long after witnessing the incident: /
Mr. Blaine, said he, had a peculiar
gift for remembering names and faces,
but this was the most amusing exhibit
ton of his gift that had ever witnessed.
It was at large reception in Washing
ton. A gentleman of rather cOuptri-
fed appearance was introduced to Mr..
Blaine as Mr.. Mason. /
What" exclaimed Mr.. Blaine, "Mr.
Mason of Poultney, Vt.?" /
Yes" replied Mr.. Mason, delighted
at being definitely placed geographical
ally.
The son Of Stephen Mason?"
Eyes" delighted again to be genea-
ogically placed.
''Ah. yes" said Mr. Blaine, "and he
died in, let me see. in 1868 did he not?
I remember-and he was buried in the
little yard by the church. And his
father was John Mason who fought in
the war of 1912. All yes"
It was all so sympathetic and so his
torically correct, and the mans pleasure
over having distinct place in the
statesman's mind was so evident that
we coveted the ready memory and tact
of the busy statesman who could SO def
nitely place every one.
Yet this seemed exceptional, so after
the man had passed on we said to the
senator: How could you remember
all that? Did you know his father?'
"He laughed and said: mo, | never
saw him. but | had an old aunt who
lived in Poultney, VT, and several sum-
mers ago spent Sunday with her, and
| went to church with her. The day was
warm and | had difficulty in keeping
awake. The window was open to the
little graveyard, and every time l nod
ded l opened my eyes to see on a big
stone whose reflected whiteness made
me blink: Stephen Mason, died April
26 1868. and beside it was another with
John Mason, born II, died 49,
1T never would have done to fall
asleep; my aunt would never have for
given me, so l memoriZed that, and
never hear the name Mason that don't

letters spelling out Stephen Mason No,

POTATOES $2,19O A POUND
"Boom" Of Once Expensive Vegetable

their not having it for sale, and so on.
A contributory cause of the Elio-

be the extensive practice of forcing It

An isolated farmer troubled with the
pest has but himself to blame. A
community needs concerted attention
from all its members, and material
reduction of houseflies can be assur-
eddy promised.
Houseflies breed in fresh horse
manure, human excrement, and no
where else.
They scatter filth and spread dis
ease wherever they alight.
Houseflies are capable of multi
plying into the millions in month.
The flies parading over food and
dishes have every one of them just
come from a bed of filthy excrement.
Flies are made so that they have to
"spit" first on everything they eat
before they can swallow it.
"Fly-specks" are twice voided ex-
crement, first by the horse, then by
the fly. Should we tolerate them?
Housefiies are responsible for
more typhoid fever than bad drink
ing water is.
Housefies may be cause of such
diseases as consumption, colds, dys-
EMERY and cholera.
One ill-kept stable or neglected
clubhouse is more than sufficient to
start a plague of this dirty nuisance.
which may be the cause of many
deaths.
And lastly, that housefies can
easily, simply, and effectively be
checked.
