The Drana Of the Nations.

JaPan's victory over Russia has upset
the balance Of power in Europe. France
knows now that she was leaning on a
broken reed. Germany fears an alliance
OF Russia and Japan, breads the grow
ing friendship of France and Britain,
dares not trust too far the doubtful sup
port OF Austria Hungary and Italy, re-
sentss American leadership in making
peace in the far East, covets the domain
of the. Turk and weaves webs to en-
tangle him. Britain has made use of
the opportunity to grab Thibet, has
authorized Kitchener to reorganize the
defenses of India, has left far eastern
waters in her ally's care and massed her
squadrons nearer home. Norway walks
apart, chip on shoulder, and Sweden
would, but dare not, try coercing her.

world covered with unexampled full
ness in the Sunday issues of The

edition embraces also an exceedingly
choice assortment Of illustrated special

Women And The Public Schools.

The New Idea Woman's Magazine for
October has an inspiring article on
"Women in Profession" by Miss Eliza
beth Howard Westwood. Miss West
wood runs over the field of those pro-
fessions into which women enter, show
ing that there are now very few in which
they have not proved their capability.
Speaking of the educational field, which
is, as ever, one of those most entered by
women, she says: "Some of the most re-
markable educational work is, being
done by women in connection with the
public schools. Miss Farrell, whose
class:of unmanageable children is well
known. is little short of wonderful.
Boys who have proved too much for
school after school, teacher after
teacher, never give her the slightest
trouble.

October Designer.

Prominent among the pleasing feat
ures of The Designer for October is the
opening chapter of "Jiu ]itus Training
for Women" by Saki Sngaki, of Toxic,
Japan. Much has been written about
Jiu Jitsu, but this is the first time its
value has been set forth as promoter
of feminine health and good looks.
Japan and Russia are closely connected
in public interest these days. therefore
it is not out Of place to find in the same
number of the magazine "Jiu Jitsu
Training" and Housekeeping in the
Land of the Gar" of which latter Laura
B. Starr writes most entertaingly. "The
Circulating Library" is the suggestion
Bertha Hasbrook makes this month "ln
the Interest OF Bread Winning" To a
book loving woman nothing could be
more congenial, especially as the idea
includes an opportunity for obtaining
fresh air while thus making livelihood
The fashions for this issue are most
attractive advance styles for the coming
autum and winter.

CHINESE MONEY.

Some Is Good and Some Is Counter
felt, but 1t All Goes.
Emile Bard, Frenchman, has an
interesting chapter on the money Of
China In his book, Chinese Life In
Town and Country" He explains that
the unit Of Chinese money Is the tael,
which Is not a coin, but weight Of
silver-the ounce, Of which there are
sixteen to the catty and 1000 to the
picul. The commercial tael is that Of
Canton, which should weigh 37.7S3
grains, but usually weighs 37.58. Then
there is the tael Of Shanghai, which
weighs 3e.6, and the revenue tael, used
In valuing imports and exports, and
each large city has its own, that Of
Tientsin worth from 4 to 8 per cent
more than that Of Shanghai. Business
estimated In taels Is carried on by the
use Of Spanish dollars or silver ingots
The former are weighed and stamped
by every south China merchant and
have to be remitted continually. The
hgots Of silver are cut from bars into
pieces that the operator estimates will
weigh 80 taels. Naturally each one
who handles them weighs them.
"Banks store their money in cellars
In boxes carried back and forth b!
coolies, says NJ. Bard. This explains
the item Of transportation which Is de

One can Judge Of the complication
consequent upon this system Of con
version Of taels of different values int

especially as assayers Of different 10
calities refuse to honor the stamps o
other Cities" In places where the dol

made by cutting up an ingot. 9Th

AMERICAN LANDSCAPE.

How 1t Differs From That Of Eng
land and the Continent.
The American landscape, even In the
older parts Of the country, Is generally
unkempt and does not lend itself as
readily to formal treatment as does the
typical English or continental land
scape. The owners Of big estates rare
ly appreciate the scale on which the
landscape architecture should be laid
out and the patience which Is neces-
sary to obtain a complete and consum-
mate effect. They want ready made
estates. Finally, the leading American
house architects have, with few ex-
ceptions, a good deal to learn about
the technique Of landscape design. So
far as the large house itself is con-
cerned, a convention has been estab-
lished which Is in the main q good
convention, but the designing Of gar
dens is still in an early experimental
stage. The stage properties are col
lected in abundance. There Is no lack
Of pergolas. fountains, we'll heads, ga
zebos, statuary and pottery, but as like
as not they are Unfortunately placed.
The architectural features are, how
ever, generally somewhat better man
aged than the planting, which fire.
uuently looks as IL an Irish gardener
had been given some vague general d.
rections, or as If the lady Of the house
had considered that it was woman's
business to make the garden green.
AS a matter Of fact, however, the lady
Of the house, in case she has her own
way, generally paints the garden vel
low and red rather than green. Her
idea usually is merely to get as much
bloom as possible, and this she does at
a sacrifice of those masses of foliage
which are absolutely necessary to give
mass, body and depth to a large gar
den.-Architectura Record Magazine.

NORTH DAkOTA'S VALUATION
FOR ASSESSMENT PURPOSES

Bismarck. Aug. 28.-The valuation
for purposes Of assessment in North
Dakota in the present year reaches
about s173,oooooo. This is perhaps not
fifth of the real valuation of the prop
ertyin the state, but as in other states
only fraction of the real value is re-
turned by the assessors for purposes Of
taxation. The valuation is divided into
about s113,ooo,ooo for real property,
s23,ooo,ooo for railroad property, and the
remainder personal property. The state
board of equalization made its principal
increase this year in real estate, not so
much in.the older established counties as
in raising the valuation in many of the
counties where development has been
rapid in the past few years, and where
the returns upon the lands were far be-
low even the customary figures of rea-
sonable valuation. A large share of the
increase in real estate is accounted for
in that in the unorganized territory west
of the river, amounting to 100000 acres
an increase Of 66 2-3 per cent was made
by a raise of thirty cents an acre on the
acreage in the unorganized territory
There has also been large increase in
the acreage returned for assessment by
the passing of homestead lands to pat
ent. There has been some attempted
criticism Of the action of the state board
on the ground that such increases were
made in the value Of real property. II
this connection, it is worth while to note
that the averaged assessed valuation il

Traill, Walsh and Wells, list of coun-
ties comprising the best average of lands
in the central and eastern parts of the
state. was S5.45 an acre. The average
value of lands in these counties will run
from SIS to $50 an acre. 1t is difficult to
see where there it much to complain Of
in the assessment. The average valua-
tion of lands as returned by the counties
this year was $3.14, and the average
valuation, as equalized by the state
board was 1854, an increase of 40 cents
an acre. This would make an additional
tax for all state purposes due to this
increase in valuation, of about 80 cents
upon quarter section of land. 1t will
be apparent therefore that the burden -
which tits claimed has been placed on
real estate, is without any foundation in
fact, and in this connection it must also
be considered that while the valuation
was raised, the tax levy was reduced
two-tenths mills as an offset In the
assessment of railroads, the board
figured the valuation at $500 per mile
Computing the ratio in the same manner
as the ratio of assessed valuation of land
to the real value, it would make the rail
road valuation between $4,000 and
$4,000 per mile. Inasmuch as three
railroads are now building between 4oe
and 500 miles of line in this state, thu
board felt that the railroad property wa.
being assessed justly in comparison will

Dear Aunt Jennie:-For some
time | have been a silent reader of
The Progressive Farmer, and have
become deeply interested in the nice
letters of your Social Chat. So I
come asking admittance, if this es-
capes your waste basket. As for
myself [ am a farmer, or clodhop-

my youth, am twenty-five years of
age, plus two. Ny, what has become
of Gladys? She doesn't seem to
come any more She has written
some very interesting facts on MAX
ing brothers room cozy, which all
boy readers appreciated And Elsie
she has written nice letter re-
garding the Christian life. Her let
ter on ambition has put me to think
ing.
Will you pardon me for speaking
of myself just a little? I live in
BERTHE County, just three miles from
town, and only four miles from the
beautiful Chowan River of which
you all know. Fine, large steamers
ply this river to and fro and through
the Albemarle Sound. This river
is very convenient for shipping pro-
dnce. The ChoWan is noted for her
beautiful scenery and fishing indus
tries. And / forgot to say the men
