While on a sketching tour in Burma an English artist one day, noticed Q man a little distance off glaring fierce iv straight ahead of him at some ob- feet the Englishman could not see from his position. The man sat with the same fixed glare the whole afternoon, and on the following day did so again.
 The araist had the curiosity to ask an English visitor what it meant The reply was;
 hOh, he is in lover
 And 1t was explained that this was their method of courtshIp. The object of the mans attentive gaze was girl in a neighbortng vtll- age. When young man falls in love he has to seat himself at certain for her to do the rest. If she looks in his direction once or twice on the first or second day he Is greatly encouraged, and if on the third day she mods to him and smiles, he loses no time, but goes at once to the Eettlement

Gold i'm AInbasna.

Birmingham Ledger. There is a renewed interest in the gold deposits of Alabama every time an expert is sent through them for any purpose There Is so much gold and 1t IS So evident to the naked eve that the expert is invariably enthused.
 The trouble with mining the Ala barna gold has ben purely chemical. It will require a costly plant to work the ore in large quantities and that has
 made investors hesitate. large and costly mill and chemical outfit is nec- essary as q preliminary to any mining. The ore is there and 1t contains the gold. To extract the gold Is the prob fem. The chemists have solved the problems, but men hesitate to put large Investments in comparatively untried field. making morey for their owners day by day, one of them being exceedingly
 One expert says there is more gold in Alabama than ever existed in Cali fornia. He also thinks 1t will cost no more to get than the early gold diggers of California had to pay.
 As men keep studying the gold de- posits 1t is practically certain that they will be developed. No such wealth will be permanently idle and unused. There is so much of 1t.

s; Uehida. the Japanese Consul-Gen- eral at New York, writes to The New York Times to deny the truth of the re- port that the Japanese have encouraged the boycott Instituted by merchants in China against American goods, and more explicitly to answer the charge made by writer in Scribner's Maga- zine that newspapers published in China. by Japanese are agitating the boycott and the anti-foreign movement In that country MT. Uchida says there are many newspapers published in China by nominal foreign proprietors, but as a matter of fact these papers are solely owned and controlled by na- tions, and their nominal foriegn pro- prietors have nothing to say except in case the publications are interfered with by the Chinese authorities This condition, he says. at least, applies to Chinese papers issued by JapaTese pro- prietors, which are subject neither to Chinese law nor to Japanese press reg ulations as applied at home, and, as a rule, are beyond the control of our gov ernment authorities" MT. Uchida says the leading papers In Japan are strongly advising against the Chinese hnxcott.

The Chicago Tribune in speaking Of the right newspaper standard, says: power must print news of useful things. 1t must provide such varied food for the mind that the reader shall not be gradually permeated with the belief that all men are corrupt, that force alone rules, and~that notoriety is the highest attainment of life. The hyp- notic effect of exclusive attention to de- grading thoughts is the cause of many a crime. No newspaper which is wor- thy of a place in the home will fail to furnish food for more wholesome thoughts. The daily newspaper Is the greatest power in the world for prog ress in all good thines."

until you raise hogs. They are both CT and a vexation to the spirit of man while they live. but bring joy and com tentment 10 the soul of man when they die at hog killing time. The American hog. however. is the dad blamedest, spIlt-hoofed, long, shouted busy-body animal we ever saw. He can make fellow madder than other animals that infest the premises. He will always squeal and muddy your pants when he knows you are trying to feed him. He will get in your garden through knot-hole and de- stroy enough produce in three minutes to feed your wife and children for three months. He will pay no attention to wide-open gate where you want him to go, through. but will shovel out several cubic yards of dirt to make 2 hole into place you don't want him to go. He is the biggest nuisance and most profitable on the farm.'

THEY PREFER TO MIX.

Up in East Orange, N. J., there has for quite a while been a warm strug. gle and controversy over the ques- ored children in the public schools, and for a time it looked very much as if decent sentiment would prevail, but the negroes and the mixers finally won out and hereafter the white chil- dren must snuggle up alongside the coIored ones or remain out of school. The New York Commercial looks on the result as "a signal triumph for the constitutional rights of the citi- gen." but the agitation of the ques- ton forces it to admit that, given exactly similar conditions to contend question is not at bottom & million miles away from Southern sentiment" l"
 As a general proposition, we have no doubt that The Commercial is cor rect In spite of some evidences to the contrary we believe a large ma- jority of the white people of the North and East retain their pride of NdCEs GHaI II IdCldl were reversed the people up there would in the main act as they do here, and keep the races separate as far as possible
 The agitation for separate schools at East Orange and at various other places North shows that they are restive un- der social amalgamation and would gladly be rid of it. ::>-~
 Just what The Commercial means by saying that enforced mixed schools sis "a triumph for the constitutional rights of the citizen," we are unable to comprehend, unless there is some thing in the Constitution of New Jersey that enforces such schools. Ger tainly there is nothing in the 7Consti- tution of the United States that de- mands such mixing. or our Northern brethren would have tried to enforce 1t down here. If the citizens of a com munity prefer to have the races edu- cated together, while we refuse to ad- mire their taste. they have the right to mix thm as much and as thick as they desire. On the other hand, if any school district or State wants sepa- rate schools 1t may have them. There is no constitutional right involved, pro- vided no partiality is shown in the schools of one race over the other.
