ENTIRELY TOO FINICKY.

Professor NJ. E Jaffa, of the University Of
California is conducting at Oakland series Of
experiments with the object Of increasing the
laying power of the hen.
Professor Jaffa has already secured some re-
markabIe laying records. In discussing these
records he said the other day:
Cleanliness is a prime factor In successful
chicken farming Keep the runs clean, dry
cheerful. and your hens will do their duty by
you nobly.
in fact, to make hens lay well, It is almost
necessary to carry neatness to the fnicky point

aquarium.
This old woman did not merely keep the
aquarium neat-the glass spotless, the stones at
the bottom snowy-but was said of her that
every Saturday night she took the fish out and

and the animosity of the people Of the Celestial
Empire not merely to everything American. but
also to the British and in fact, to foreigners in
general. is spreading throughout the Land of
the Rising Sun in an altogether remarkable de-
gree. 1t is true that the governments at Picking
and at Toxic manifest friendly disposition
But they are either unwilling or unable to con-
troll the people. and speakers are permitted IN
disturbed by the police to advocate in the prin-
cipal streets of the Mikado's capital the expul-
sion of the United States from the Philippines
They argue that the presence of America In
the archipelago is not only an injury to the
prestige of Japan but also a danger to her COM
merce, and they urge that war should be de-
clared upon the United States and it's expulsion
from the Philippines accomplished before it has
had time to establish itself too strongly, in mill
ltary and naval sense, in the archipelago. They
add that in the event of their country becoming
involved in complications with any other foreign
power Uncle Sam, by reason of his position at
Manila would be enabled to drive a hard bar
gain with Japan, and that it is out of the
question for him to be allowed to remain in the
Philippines. These harangues are being de-
livered day after day and night after night to
audiences of thousands upon thousands not
alone in the streets of Toxic but also through
Japan, and the views thus expressed are being
reflected with more or less directness by the
press, the people being taught to believe that
Japan had been led solely and entirely by senti-
ments of generosity to make gift of peace TO
poor" Russia, had liberated Corea from Mus
coVite thraldom and had demonstrated to China
that she need no longer be the football of the

lists only on paper everything in connection with
the scheme being what may be described as
eventual" 1t is only Gin the event. Of certain
things coming to pass that the scheme will be
brought into operation. and whereas on the one
hand the commanding generals have no knowl-
edge of the characteristics of those who would
in war time constitute their STATS. the members
thereof are for the most part not even personally
acquainted with one another. True, the French
army, magnificently trained and splendidiy
equipped, would be able to give a very different
account of itself now to that which it furnished
in 1870. Still, the authority of a number
of French military experts, veteran generals and
eX-ministers of war, such as. for instance, Cen
eral Billot, it may be asserted that an immense
amount Of valuable time, possibly weeks, would
be lost after the outbreak of war before the mo-
bilization of the French army would be COM
pleted and it would be in readiness for the fray
England's fleet is ready for action: but her army
now in process of reorganization. is even still
less prepared for any conflict than it was at the
outbreak OF the Boer campaign And so it is
right along the line. None Of the powers repre-
scented at the Ageciras congress are ready just at
present to go to the length of fighting to enforce
their views, and when. in addition TO this. the
fact is taken into consideration that there is an
enormous trade between Germany and France,
and between Germany and England which
would be brought to a standstill in the event of
a conflict entailing the suspension of thousands
of industries in all three countries and in the
ruin of millions upon millions of people employed
therein, it will readily be understood that capital
and labor IN Germany France and England
would do anything possible to obstruct any dec
laration of war about a subject so remote in
their eyes Morocco.
