Oh, summer with your wooing breeze
That stirs my blood like wine,
on, Summer, with your purple seas,
You call the pagan In my breast,
The pagan centuries at rest,
Who worshiped at your shrine.
The pagan loved your fields and hills
And woods, as ! do now;
The pagan knew the Joy that thrills
My being when l hear the song
OF birds at twilight. and the long.
Long thoughts that calm my brow.
Oh, Summer let me be again,
As centuries ago,
pagan worshiping as then
Your glorious sun, without a thought
OF greed or gain that men have brought
To fill our world with woe.
A pagan quaffing life with love,
And laughing when the whole
Is done-the morning stars above
Sing In his ears their song sublime
OF JOY beyond the touch OF time,
The passion OF the soul
oh. Summer, let your splendor steal
Me from my trodden ways.
And let me live and love and feel
Without regret-without the prod
or right and wrong or vengeful God
Bring back those fair. glad days.
Sweet Summer, with your woolng breeze,
That stirs my blood like wine;
Oh, Summer, with your purple seas.
The pagan centuries at rest
Is here forever In my breast
To worship at your shrine,

Words OF Wisdom and Advice That Hang
in Every Japanese Tent.
On the walls of the barracks, on the

Japanese soldiers cot hangs a printed
copy of seven moral precepts, says the
New York World. The, Emperor OF
Japan is supposed to be the author. At
any rate, he, as General-in- Chief, is
sued them TO his Army. The last thing
the soldier sees on retiring. the first
thing to greet his eyes when he
awakes, are these precepts.
Every morning after roll-call an Of
ficer OF each company reads the pre-
cepts to his men. Then he makes the
men recite them in concert, and after
ward calls upon individual soldiers to
repeat them.
In barracks the officers drill the men
in the knowledge of the precepts, and
explain them in detail, illustrating their
explanations with examples drawn
from history. Deeds Of Washington.

precepts in practical application as
well as in theory.
Baron Kaneko, Japanese states
man who recently visited this country
ON a confidential mission, asserts that
the personal valor OF the japanese SOL
diers is due to the practice of the seven
precepts. Here they are, as translated
by Baron Kaneko from the Mikado's
edict:
'"ro be sincere and loyal and guard
against untruthfulness.
"To respect superiors, keep true to
comrades and guard against lawless-
ness and insolence.
''To obey the command of superiors,
irrespective OF Its nature, and never
to resist or disregard Il.

ITO boast not of brutal courage. and
neither quarrel with nor insult others,
which will incite general hatred.

and effeminacy.

guard against vulgarlty and greed"

MlNINe METHODS OF AMEaIcA
Why Production Here is Larger per
Capita Than Aboard.

II is not difficult to understand the
manufacturing supremacy of the Unit
ed States when one compares our coal
production statistics with those Of for
eign countries. says the Boston Tran
script. The country having a cheap
supply Of fuel for steam purposes viii
lead in manufacturing. There are
employed in the coal mines of Great
Britain nearly 100000 men, and they
produced last year a coal product val.
ued at $100.0O0.000 more than that OF
this country. Yet with less than 525..
900 coal miners in the United States
we produced $4,000. 900 tons more Of
coal than did Great Britain. with us
there Is an average production per
miner OF little less than 1000 tons
OF coal per annum. Great Britain
produces PSI tons per capita, Germany
242 tons, France 1893 tons, and Bel.
GUM 166 tons.
These figures show the immense
superiority Of the American coal min.
err, yet mine owners testify that IL is
due to methods rather than men, as
the British miners who come here
make our best workmen. The differ.
ence is that Great Britain largely
clings to the antiquated method OF
pick mining, while here steam has
taken the place Of muscle and powder
has been substituted for picks. In
the thicker coal seams there is no
longer any pick work and the physical
exercise of drilling is no longer neces-'
sary.
Yet there is another side to the
matter. The mortality from accidents
In the Illinois coal mines last year
was 2.S7 per 1000 men employed,
which is one and one-half times the
percentage of fatal accidents In Brit
ish mines. II is evident that some
means should be taken to reduce the
death rate and 1t has been suggested
that blasts should not be made while
the miners are still at work, but
should be set on after hours by men
chosen for this dangerous occupation.

Some Words Of Counsel.

Gallant rescues of fair young ladies
by brave young men are the order Of
the day at the bathing resorts. IN the
routine OF romance. as the accounts
commonly run, there are tears of graf.
itude. the hasty avowal, and the happy
wedding day. Now, II this sort OF
casual life-saving is to take rank as
a summer industry. ought 1t not to be
kept free from sentimental conse-
quences? Ought the dashing young
hero as he plunges through the waves
to catch the beautiful young heroine
by the hair as she goes under for the
third time to be burdened with doubts
as to whether his income is sufficient
20 support two? IL is likely to chill
the stoutest heart that ever breasted
the sea to have to ask itself at SO crit
ical moment whether the drowning
girl may not belong to different so-
cial set, whether her parents may not
have plans for her fI-.ure. A man may
stand ready, as a matter of course, to
brave any perils to save a woman's
life and still desire leisure to consider
whether the time has come TO abandon
his bachelor habits and live in a fiat.

Tips Lead TO RrIhes.

At the recent convention in Ham.
burg OF the Coal Dealers association
of Germany a number of delegates
spoke on the practice of tipping and
bribing, They complained that stokers
and others having to do with coal
used in manufacturing works and
large establishments of any kind must
be given bribe money, or have their
influence used against the coal deal
ers to prevent the securing of new or
ders. The delegates urged the neces-
sity OF taking measures TO abolish
the nefarlous practice Americans
travelling in Europe find the tipping
abuse very annoying The tipping evil
has undoubtedly led to the bribery
method which now has become so yex.
