The lower animals do not draw
very fine distinctions; civilized men
measure things by millimeters. A saw
age who is building hut gets two
poles which seem about the same
length, and a difference of foot or
two doesn't matter: a man who builds
a locomotive, or a safe door, or a type
writer, or a chainless bicycle must
have fittings that will not vary by the
hundredth of an inch. An essential
condition OF culture is unremitting
care for host of triies, all of which
unite to make the perfect whole.
Without accuracy and punctuality, no
civilization. All our sense of beauty
is perhaps merely the recognition that
certain forms have exactly hit an i'm
perceptible middle-ground between an
finite number OF slightly different
possibilities. If there is any one thing
which shows an educated man (I don't
say college man, for it must be ad-
mitted that this is usually the very
thing that a college man is as ignor-
ant of as the nakedest savage in the
heart OF Australia) it is that he knows
the enormous, fateful, all-signifeant
difference between a thing which is
right and a thing which is almost
right: that he approaches the great
truth that the difference between 80
and 100 is not l, but infinity.-J. T.

seemed to us, filled wi.h the idea of
domination in one form or another,
and all of whom were working to
break down our national independence
and to substitute something different.
Against that yellow peril we should
feel that almost any weapon was al
lowable. At any rate we should not
be deferred from rallying the nation
to supreme effort Of resistance by
the fact that many atrocious crimes
had been committed on the Chinese
interlopers No excuses, however
good, for their invasion or interfer-
ence would be allowed to weigh in
the balance against the instant dread
Of the conquering or dominating
Chlnamen. Again, however bad. ty-
rannous, corrupt and feeble we might
think our own government, we should
resolve to stand by it till we had got
rid of the yellow peril" That peril
would only weld this nation together,
but if the danger were at our doors,
it would weld all Europe and make a
concert Of the Christian powers such
as the world has hitherto never seen.
Now we do not mean for a moment
to suggest that the Chinese are right
in thinking Of the white men as they
do think of them, or to compare Chi
nese civilization with our own-if
their system is really as good as ours,
then Christianity has no meaning
but we do say that it is essential to
understand the Chinese point of view,
and the consequences that flow from
it. We conquered India comparative
ly easily because we were not OPP
posed by this moral force in any Wig
orous shape. The various races of
India may not have like the intrud-
ing foreigner, but they had no horror
Of him, no passionate fear that he
meant to uproot their own cherished
civilization, and no conviction that
their own social system was so pre-
cious that it was worth making enor-
nous sacrifices to save it. But the
Chinese have that feeling, and this
feeling makes them truly a nation,
and gives them the power of resist
ance. That is the gist of Mr.. Aliens
testimony. London Spectator.

ABOUT SUN SPOTS.
The Idea Of Their Association with
Famines Not a New One.

The Idea of Their Association with
Famines Not New One.
The idea of an association between
sun spots and famines is not new
one. Economists are to some extent
familiar with it, as the contempora-
neous occurrence of certain sun spot
conditions and hard times have from
time to time been noted. This fact has
suggested the probability of scme con-
necticn between them, but their wide
separation in both space and Character
has usually been accepted as preclud-
ing the possibility of any such inter-
relation, as they have consequently
been relegated to the realm of acci-
dental condolences. In paper re-
Gently read before the Royal Society,
however, Sir Norman Lockyer and DR..
w. j. S. Lockyer present, as the result
of careful investigation, an array OF
facts, which, though they do not prove
the two phenomena to be related as
cause and effect, go some ways toward
doing so, says the Philadelphia Times.
These savants found in the first place
that when the area of spots was great
est the unknown lines in their spectra
were widened, and that when the area
was least the known lines were widen
ed. From this they drew the inference
that maximum area of sun spots ac-
companies a great increase in tenn
perature, and that there are
periodic changes Of solar tenn
perature, maximum being fol-
lowed by a mean and then
minimum. A comparison of the rain
fall statistics Of several countries with
spectrum records was then made and
it was found that in India heavy rains
generally occurred in the year follow
ing the mean condition, at dates near
to but little earlier than the maxima
and the minima of sun spots, the same
rule applying to snowfall Between
these periods Of rainfall. In the same
country. there are periods of drought.
These are found to correspond to
the intervals between the maxima and
minima OF solar temperature shown by
the fluctuations in the spots. Apply
ing these data to the famine records
they discovered that all the famines Of
India since 1886 occurred during these
intervals and that If the maxima were
assumed to reappear every eleven
years that the famines of 1895, 1897,
1860, 1S6S-60, 1880 and 1s9O-s2 would lit
exactly with tho central points or
mean conditions between minima and
maxima which took place IN 1896.

vsrdls Fear OF tho se,.

The circumstances in which Aida
was produced are worth passing note.
The idea Of the opera was first sug-
gested to tsmel Pasha, the then khe-
dive Of Egypt, and Verdi was commits
stoned to write it, being left to name
his own price This he fixed at $4,000.
and as Ismah did not willingly allow
question Of money to interfere with
the qualification OF his pleasure. YER
dis terms were accepted. and he was
even offered an additional $4,000 to
proceed to Cairo to superintend the

to do. and for no more valid reason
than his unconquerable fear Of trust
ing himself on the sea.-Lcndon

emily with reason for being a match

Il attended a marriage ceremony
about year ago and among the
bridesmaids was Miss Blank, the
daughter Of Senator Blank After the
ceremony there was a reception, and
in the course of it l said to Miss
Blank: i suppose l shall have the
pleasure Of attending your wedding
soon?' the young lady said there was
no prospect of sucn an event. Why
don't you get married. l asked She

some one asked her. 'Oh!' said l,

'that can be arranged very easily. I'll
attend to it, l turned to a nice-looking
young man who had been the best man
and said to him: Wouldn't you like
to marry this young LADY, Miss Blank?'
He said he would be delighted. There
said to Miss Blank, this young gem
tleman, through me, asks you to ac-
cept him. We all laughed, and that
was the end of it ct the time. A fey

MULE ON sNowsHors.\
The Plan by which Mail was Carries
Through Mig snowdrifts.


Through nIT snowdrlfts.
It is said that the late Jock Darling.
the most noted hunter and trapper
ever known in Maine. once brought a
young deer out of the deep SHOWS or
the woods by fitting snowshoes to its
feet and there have been instances on
dogs wearing the moosehide, but not
until recent day, so far as the rec
ords show, dia any one in this New
England state ever see mule on
snowshoes. The snow that came last
week was only an ordinary fall, but
the gale that succeeded it piled up big
drifts, shifting out many towns from
all communication with the outside
world Bingham, in Somerset county
had been without mail for week
when one evening, the mail carrier,
Henry Caswell. arrived from The
Forks with four sacks slung over
mules back. The mule, Pete, is
diminutive animal, tough and strong,
but, going as mules generally go, ut
terly unable to wade through the high

and Bingham. So Caswell, after study
ing the situation a bit, decided to fit
snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked
all right and the little mule, seeming
to appreciate the situation, allowed
the shoes to he fitted without objec-
tion. The shoes were made of oak
frames, woven with stout moosehide,
about half the width worn by men and
without the usual long shank behind
Pete came along on his shoes as well
as Caswell on his, and the two were
welcomed with shouts of approval by.
the people of Bingham. The return,
journey, twenty-four miles, was made
in the same way.

Invasion
of Chine

The reason for this reformation of
China is explained in most striking
article on Some OF the Conclusions
Which May be Drawn from the Siege
of the Foreign Legations in Pekin,
published in the February Cornhill.
The writer is the Rev Roland Allen,
of the Church of England Mission, Pc
kin, and 1t is impossible to read his
paper and doubt that he is a man
of sense and judgment. He speaks
from knowledge and from the heart,
and is no mere sensation-monger
Again, he Is, we should say, in no
sense the Kind Of person whose mind
has been daunted or unhinged by the
terrible experiences Of last summer,
and who has given way to unreason-
ing pessimism. He indicates how
formidable is the influence Of the anti
foreign feeling among the Chinese by
showing that it is based on moral
grounds. A mere savage prejudice
against the white man would not
greatly matter, for it might be ex-
pected to die out of itself. But the
present hatred of the foreigner is
founded ON reason-Chinese reason,
if you willard is no mere whim of
ignorance. The Chinese feel toward
us much as many white men feel to-
vMrd them. The foreigner is held to
be evil because he has a perfectly
different outlook on life from that of
the Chinaman, and appears bent on
oyerthrowing all that the Chinaman
reyeres in life and civilization, and
regards as necessary to a happy and
even decent existence. Hence China
men who are not bad men in them
selves feel bound to condone almost
any atrocities that may save them
from what they loathe and dread so
inexpressibly-the arrogant domina-
tion of the foreigner. They
feel as we should feel, supposing the
parts were reversed, and our ports
were held by various sections Of the
Chinese race-some of whom were
bent on forcing their trade on us, and
some on political and territorial ag-
grandizement, some on conversions
to their own religious and moral stan
dards, but all of whom we're filed, or

FORAGE IN UNITED STATES.
Work of Department Of Agriculture in
the Southwest. o

Work of Department Of Agriculture In
the Southwest.
LAS early as 1874, DR.. George Vaser,
the botanist of the agricultural depart
ment, began his work on the improve
ment Of the forage supply Of the
United States. At that time the hay
product of the country amounted to
about 25,0O0,00O tons per annum. In
the Northern States the forage prob
lem was already, in the main, solved;
but in the South and in the West there
was a deplorable lack of suitable for
age plants. New England and New
York had brought their grasses and
clovers from Great Britain, and owing
to general similarity of climate, had
found them satisfactory. Their use
had extended also to the middle west
with equal success. With the increase
of stock raising in the cotton country
Of the South, however, it was found
that the old and well-known forage
plants must be replaced By others, bet
ter suited to the warmer climate Dur
ing the next decade, following the
rapid depletion Of the wild forage sup
ply Of the far west and the establish
ment of homesteads throughout that
region, the similar discovery was made
that the common forage plants of the
East could not withstand the dry eli
mate. For many years the department
brought together by correspondence
information along these two lines, and.
in 1884, collected it in the form of a
book entitled, ''The Agricultural
Grasses of the United States" In the
year 1883 the lump sum appropriated
for botanical Investigations and ex-
periments was increased from $4,000
to $4,000, and the establishment of
forage experiment stations was at Gar
den City. in western Kansas. A large
number of grasses, both native and
foreign was cultivated at the station
without irrigation. At the end Of the
five years lease, in 1893, after the va
rious species clearly not adapted to the
region had been thrown out year by
year, the experiment resulted in the
demonstration that two forage plants,
Hungarian bronze and red Kaffir corn,
and one grain, Jerusalem corn, were
the crops best suited to cultivation in
those portions of the southern great
plains where irrigation was imprac-
ticable. A few other plants, notably
Colorado bluestem, gave promise Of
success, and their cultivation has since
been followed in other portions of the
plains. The station was an object les
son to the thousands of despairing
farmers. 1t showed them that Kaffir
corn could produce a good crop when
everything else was killed by the
drouth; that Kafiir corn was the equal
Of maize for fattening hogs and feed
ing farm stock, and that it could be
made into good bread

Is trial by jury becoming lees popu-

be some ground for believing that it
is. The proportion of actions to be
