Prof. Yamashita, who is negotiating
with Secretary Morton for place as
Instructor OF jiu-jitsu at Annapolis, is
. mild eyed little man who apparently
knows the jiu-jitsu game backward.
He was at the white house few days
ago talking to the president, who has
had few lessons in the art OF how
TO break the neck Of your opponent
without ruffiing your hair or soiling
your collar. Secretary Morton WAS
there, too. Morton is more than 6
feet tall, with shoulders yard across,
Prof Yamashita picked Morton as q
lay figure sor some experiments. He
toyed with the big secretary as II be
had been a child
Senator Lodge was there. He saw
with amazemeDt the way the little
Japanese flung Morton around the
room. After the exhibition was over
he went TO Morton and said: do you
know, Morton. was thinking OF com.
ing TO your assistance.
Indeed" Morton replied, as he ad-
iusted his disarranged clothing. But
as you are a conservative New Eng

Whether death be an evil or not we

being considered presumptuous We
want to say before they do settle the
question, that death in the case OF

they can get, aud never thaw out while
there is warmth in their life current
that it is a distinct good for them to
peg out They will have to let go of
their millions then Russell Sage is
gone, but his piled up wealth is here.
He held onto it with the tenacity of
death grip while his years reached far
beyond the three score and ten allotted
to man, and was just as eager in the
pursuit of more money when the in
visible reaper cut him down as he was
in the vigor of his young manhood.
The passion of his life was to accu-
mulate money; his greatest pleasure
was to watch it grow in bulk; his
chief desire apparently to stay with 1T
as long as possible. Had his will been
the master he would have chung to his
boarded wealth forever. What he
couldn't do himself, he wants his poor
old wife to do with her s75,000,O 900 or

Screening Grain For Seed.

Most farmers have tanning mills and
those that do not Should possess one
of these machines. The man who does
not have tanning mill must depend
upon his neighbor but this is poor prac-

tice since inconvenience is a sure road
to neglect 1t is hard, however, to con
ceive of the farmer in this day and age
who is content to sow seed that has not
been run thru a tanning mill, not to
mention thru screening.
II has been estimated by men who
have given the matter thought, that
two men can screen grain at the rate
of 800 bushels per day. Some machines
and good men will likely do more II
the machine is set so as to take out
only the very best grains, 80 or &c
bushels should be secured without diff
ficulty. Considering the better results
that will follow from the sowing of
improved seed, this should be labor
we'll invested. Seed thus carefully Sc
lected and soW'n will not tend to run
OUT
Some interesting information is Civ
en- in a pamphlet lately issued by the
Minnesota Experiment Station.
Screen No. 1 should be just coarse
enough to let the grain thru. 1t is use
simply to run off sticks and straw.
Board No. 2 carries the grain backwar5
in the mill, so as to let it drop thru
the blast at one place. The light kernel:

SOUTHERN BANKS AND MANUFACTURES

The national banks Of the south are
to some extent an index of the in
creased industrial and financial slctiv-
ity of that area, giving life to boards
hitherto kept in stockings and out of
use. They now number 1926, Texas
leading with 473 If Missouri, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma are included
i'll the south, that section has 1853 ma
tional banks Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are particularly rich in this
species of financial institution, the for
mer having 113, the latter 14S. Mary
land has 81, Virginia IS, West Virginia
SO, North Carolina SO, the District Of
Columbia IS. The older states, having
state banks and private banks in large
number have a smaller proportion
than the new areas. The older states,
having state banks and private banks
in large number, have a smaller pro-
portion than the new areas. The south
has 400 more national banks than the
Eastern States, 700 more than the
Western States, and six times as many
as the Pacific States. Loans and dis
counts aggregate s761, 537,455. The re-
sources are s1,343, 275,OS3 and they are
actively employed. The conversion Of
idle money into active capital is one of
the good signs of the times in the
south.
The extent of the manufacturing in
dustry of the south is not generally
understood, its agricultural interests
attracting most attention. Yet in 1905
there was more than a billion and
half of capital invested in manufac-
turing, producing goods worth two bill
lions The increase in capital invested
and in products shows a larger per-
centage than in the rest of the country.
The increase in capital in the five years
ended with 1905 was IS per cent,
against 40 per cent in the country at
large, and the increase of product was
44.4 per cent, against about 80 per cent
in the country at large. The south is
no longer the land of promise, but of
accelerated performance.
