JAPAN LAND OF JueeLERs.
Old Wizard .Amuses: Dinner Guests by
Feotin0 Foreign, skeptic. ~

Japan is the land of tugglers and
fashionable Japanese always have
them at any large entertainment they
give. One very clever old man goes
around in a single cotton gown with
two baskets full Of properties" over
his shoulders, and, putting them down
anywhere, performs his tricks, with
the expectant audience encircling him.
A hatful of coppers rewards him suf-
dciently and he goes on to eat fire.
disgorge eggs, needles, lanterns and
smoking pipes at the next place. At a,
recent Japanese dinner a foreign
guest determined to have no eptical
illusions about what the jugglers did.
He never allowed his glances to be,
distracted and was not once off his.
guard. Noticing this, the old juggler
played to him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set
in the middle Of the room and the
juggler, crawling in, let himself down
into it slowly. The skeptic sat for
half an hour without taxing his eye
from the vase, which, he was con-
vinced, was sound and firm and stood
on no trap door. After this pro-
longed watch the rest of the company
assailed him with laughter and jeers,
and pointed to his side, where the old
1uggler was seated tanning himself
and had been seated for some min
0tes.

The Velocity of. Liqht.

Light moves with the amazing vel
ocity of $4,000 mics a second, a
speed million times as great as that
OF a rifle bullet. It would make the
circuit of the earth's circumference, at
the equator, seven times in one beat
OF the pendulum. For a long time the
light was thought to be instantaneous,
but it is now known to have a meas
urable velocity. The discovery was
first made by means of the eclipses of
Jupiter's satellites. Jupiter, like the
earth, casts a shadow, and when his
moons pass through it, they are
eclipsed, just as our moon is eclipsed
when passing through the earth S
shadow. Jupiters shadow far sur
passes in magnitude that of the earth.
His moon revolves around him more
rapidly than our moon revolves around
the earth, and their orbits are nearly
in the plane of the planets orb. Con-
sequently, says the Hesperian, they
all, with the exception of the fourth
and most distant satellite, pass
through the planets shadow and are
eclipsed at every revolution.

Exercise Of the Franchise.

Edward L. Thorndyke, writing on
education, especially high school edu
cation, in the Bookman, says a knowl-
edge of the duties and privileges of
the exercise of the franchise ought to
be one of the cardinal teachings of
our high school.
The exercise of the franchise" he
tells us, lis no longer chiefly mat
ter of honesty and goodwill and wis
dom in choosing between two clear
lines Of party policy or between two
sets of officials. It Is a matter of
more or less expert knowledge.
"A future voter ought to know that
for city to give traction company
the use of its streets is identical with
giving a neighbor the use of part OF
your house, wise or 'unwise, according
to who the neighbor IS and what he
pays you; he ought to know that laws
can do more against consumption than
medicine can; he ought to believe that
one mans gain need not be Others
loss, as surely as he believes that two
and two are not five; he ought to
understand as clearly as he under
stands addition that a mans :contribu-
tion to the world is to be measured by
the number and worth of the wants he
satisfies, and that mans cost to the
world is to be measured by the depri-
vatiOns he causes. Is it not silly to let
the youth Of the land spend twelve
years in school and at It's close be
unable, even though he wishes, to
protect common property as we'll as
his own, ignorant of the simplest rudi-
ments of public hygiene, possessed by
the fallacy that what others have has
been taken from him, and burdened
with the superstition that a man gives
to the world what he spends in it and
takes from it the wealth he acquires.
Is it not calamity that although
eight out of ten OF our high school
graduates will live in cities or city
suburbs, there is apparently in no
high school a course on municipal
prohlems?"

Higher Education.

In his Chancellor's Address at the
fourth centenary of Aberdeen Univer-
sity, Lord Strathcona compared higher
education in Great Britain with that
in Germany and the United States.
While praising Aberdeen, he held that
the Old World has much to learn from
the New. He was convinced that on
this side of the Atlantic our institu-
tions Of learning adapt themselves
more easily and readily to the needs
Of their constituencies. They found
out long ago that law and medicine and
theology are not the only legitimate
points of academic study; and in their
faculties of applied science they are
training their young men to do work
that is most loudly called for. They
have never accepted the view that
universities must necessarily be insti-
tutions cloistered and apart from the
main current <of public life and serv.
ice.' In this country there is, indeed,
little danger that the college-bred man
may sacrifice practical utility to re-
mote ideals. But, as Mr.. A. c. Benson
lately remarked in his paper on "The
Cselessness of knowledge" the pur-
suit of knowledge as an end is not
inconsistent with practical activity.
This is easily to be seen in Germany,
which, with her high university stand
cessful methods in industry and COM
merce. Give youth a trained mind,
and then, if he chooses to be "practi-
cal, he can be more intensely so than
any OF your rule-of-thumD men.

Williams Pink Pills.


Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Co.
dar street, Quincy, ILL.,, says: "Ever
since I had nervous prostration, about.
thirteen years ago, have had periodical
spells Of complete exhaustion. The doc
tor said my nerves were shattered. Any
excitement or unusual activity would
throw me into a state of ifelessness.
At the beginning my strength would
come back in moderate time after each,
attack, but the period of weakness kept
lengthening until at last I would lie
helpless as many as three hours at a.
stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton Of the heart, misery after eating.

matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that + gave.
up his treatment, and really feared that.
my case was lncurable
"When I began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew keen,
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted to degree that I
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after I had used the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that am looking better than have
done for the past fifteen years.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are recom-
mended for diseases that come from inn
poverished blood such as an@mia, rheu-
matism, debility and disorders of the
nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros~
tra*ion and partial paralysis. They have
cured the most stubborn indigestion.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomach, quiet all ner-.
vousness, stir up every organ to do it's
proper work and give strength that lasts.

HUSBAND OR WIFE TO LOSE POSITION.

President Roosevelt has decided to eject from
the government service the husband or wife where
both are employed. He has called upon the civil
service commission for list of names of such
employees. When this list has been furnished,
under direction of the president, the husband and
wife who are both upon Uncle Sans pay roll will
be given an opportunity to decide which shall
remain and which shall resign. If no agreement
is reached one or the other will be dismissed.
The president will interpose no objection to the
employment of women whose husbands are living
but are not in the government service, nor will
he attempt to regulate the number of members
of any family who shall be given government en-
ployment further than to make it impossible for
both the husband and the wife to remain upon the
pay rolls. 1t is estimated that in Washington
