9 MUST HAVE CHARMED LIVES;
A Brood Of Larks Hatched Out in Nest
on Racetrack.

A Brood Of Larks Hatched Out in Nest
on Racetrack.
A pair of larks which built their
nest on the racecourse at Keele park,
Staffordshire, and are raising little
family, have been taken under the spe-
cial protection of the Grand Duke Mi
chiel of Russia, who is now in resi-
dence at Keele park, says the London
Express.
When the steeplechase races were
held at Keele park the larks' nest was
discovered on the racecourse near the
winning post.
Despite the races, the large number
of carriages and the crowds OF people
who had passed over the course, the
nest had escaped injury.
Marks of horses hoofs and carriage
wheels were found perilously close to
the larks' little home, and in one case
wheel had evidently just grazed the
outer edge.
The Grand Duke Michael was told
of the strange discovery and went TO
inspect the nest. There was another
days racing, but it was thought USE
less to have the nest removed and So
it was again left to the care OF Provl-
\dence.
Again, on Thursday, great crowds
thronged the racecourse. Race horses
and carriages crossed and recrossed
the spot selected by the birds, put
again the nest escaped scathless
When the nest was examined re-
Gently it was found that three young
larks were Matched out and the par
ent birds were busy feeding the
youngsters.
The grand duke was informed OF
the birds preservation and he at once
| issued instructions to the men on the
estate to carefully guard the larks and
their home.

FIRST BOOK OF ARITHMETIC.
Supposed to Have Been by Isaac
Greenwood of Harvard.

In recent article referring to the
ed that "among the curiosities he
leaves is a three-sheet autograph let
ter from Washington to his uncle,
Nicolas Pike, commencing him as the
author of the first arithmetic pub
lished in the United States" says the
Philadelphia Record.
But the author (Pike) and George
Washington the contrary notwith-
standing, Pixies book was not the first
arithmetic published in this, country
writes Artemus Martin of the United
States survey. Pixies arithmetic was
published at Newburyport, Mass, in
1888.
Holders arithmetic was reprinted
at Boston, Mass, 1919; but that book
was not by an American author.
An arithmetic was published at Bos
ton, Mass, 1929, anonymously, but
supposed to be by, and is accredited
to, Isaac Greenwood, a Harvard profes
sor, which is believed to be the frs
arithmetic by an American author
published in the United States. L
antedates Pike f1fty-nine years.
Several arithmetics by foreign ALL
thors were reprinted here before thu
appearance of Pixies scholarly work
'The Youths Assistant" by Alex
ander Mcdonald, was published a
Norwich, Conn, in 1855, three year,
before Pixies book.
Elementary Principles of Arithme
TIC" by Thomas Sarjeant, was pub
lished at Philadelphia in 1888, tn
same year as Pixies book.

the driver, getting down off his box,
helped him to lift something out of
the carriage. This, to my horror,
proved to be the body of woman"
"Dead?" l asked.
$50 I thought at first, but wait until
I conclude my story. The man, after
some instructions to the driver, pick
ed up the woman's body and carried
it into the house. In a moment a
light appeared in the room and l saw
the man standing in it's glare. He was
a big brute, over six feet, with fierce
black mustache and as villianous a
face as I ever beheld.

The Heritage.

He toiled and moiled
To win the fight:
He worked by day,
He worked by night,
Was loved by none
He was unkind.
Ten million piunks
He left behind.
He worked and smiled,
Light hearted. gay;
Was friend to all
Who passed his way.
This heritage
He left behind:

He was so kind"

THE VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT.

President Castro, who Just now has
succeeded in directing attention to HIM
self, Is said TO have rapidly risen from
a humble position TO the presidency
Of the Venezuelan republic, but unless
he is careful, his fall IS likely to be
more sudden even than was his rise,
It seems that Castro was once a cat
tie owner and that he organized a
revolution" In order TO recover some
animals from the government, With n
company Of mountalneers he went from
village to village, from town to town,
and, finally, he descended on Caracas,
and forced President Andrade to take
20 flight. For three years he sustained
a sharp conflict, FIRST with the govern
ment troops and then with revolution
lists, having become the government
himself In 1901 he had himself elect
ed provisional President" by a con-
gress which he had himself created.
President Castro, we understand, Is
still surrounded by his faithful noun
taineers. Undoubtedly he believes
tina, he can repeat his march upon Ca
racas, In this country, by ascending

is PEACE NEAkP


Undoubtedly Japan would welcome
peace now, for she has gained, prac-
tically all the advantages for which
she has fought this war, But II APP
pears that her further aims and am
billions are such that 1t IS questionable
whether the rest Of the world viii re-
gard the peace terms as satisfactory.
The Japanese are now talking Of OBJ
talnlng possession Of both Corea and
Manchuria. and control OF the entire
Chinese empire A Toxic professor
Of international law is quoted on this
subject;
"Henceforward sthe interest OF japan
lies IN obtPining territory on the con-
tinent adjacent to China To speak
clearly II we restore Manchurla to
China, this must be done on such terms
that II viii practically become a Jap

would even have It's advantages. The
japanese army, remaining so long In
Manchuria, has had the opportunity to

been established; agriculture Is pro-
tected taxes are paid; all this enabling
japan to maintain a great army with
out great expense, and to prepare the
territory for future permanent pos

at present the most opulent portion

clusion OF Russia from the Pacific,
Count Okuma has even suggested that
vladlvostok be demanded. And the
Japanese In general hold that the time
has come for their country to form the
center OF a great Asiatic empire. They
believe that the true interests Of east
ern Asia require that, by union of
the Oriental nations under the trans
forming influence Of Japan, a great
empire be formed in Eastern Asia, so
that in military political or financial
affairs, any violent or capricious ac-
ton on the part Of Europeans or Ameri-
cans would no longer be possible. Asia

AS TO THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

We have received from Idaho a let

that the general homestead law has
not been amended, as supposed, but

live upon his homestead for the period
prescribed, viii be in danger OF losing

ground presented by our correspondent,

An epidemic Of grip Is predicted as
one result OF the war In eastern Asia
It Is supposed that the home OF that
unwelcome guest is Northern China,
and that It follows railroad lines and
other lines OF communication. In 1890 the
epidemic spread throughout the world
from Asia, consequent on the opening
up OF Bokhara II Is now argued that
thousands Of Russian soldlerswill return
from the home Of the grip germ, and IN
all probability cause another epidemic.

perience a sickness to be dreaded. be-
