II is interesting to note in this connection
that the Japanese government took from
the Agricultural Department some years
ago a scientist whom the government had
imported at some expense from Germany,
purely for tobacco work He was DR..
Loebe who was engaged In a special line
OF work with tobacco fermentS, and who
thought at the time that he would be able
by-a special process of fermentation and
curing to grow Havana tobacco in Connec-
ticut or any other part of the United
States. This gentleman at least partially
finished his work with the Department of
Agriculture when he was taken by the
japanese government to be the director of
the Imperial Agricultural College at Toxic,
with a salary of about $1,000 a year and a
house to live in. DIR. Ikeda, who has been
studying tobacco growing in this country,
is one of his pupils.

1t is of interest to note that while the gov

the infinite capacity for mischief that

Is an attraction that has the popular

AS TO BOYS.
--------lA


The great mistake which most people
make in dealing with boys Is when they
are treated as children, when they are
addressed In Sissy" talk, whine they
are pinched and rubbed on the head,
and called "flne Buys. The average
boy has no respect for the very good
and sanity youth who lisps and mora
Lies and deals out wise remarks
through 300 pages of the Sunday School
book and who dies in the last chapter
to blue lights and slow music. The
average boy is lively and cheerful and
active. He wishes to be treated more
like man than a child. He likes to
talk with men on serious subjects and
In a serious manner He wants to
learn how to become man as soon as
possible. No matter what political
economists may say, a healthy and
manly boy Is the best investment
know in this world of sin and deceit.
When brought up in the right way, a
boy will pay better dividens than Ari-
IONA gold mines or trust stocks or
public offices. Let everybody use the
boys well. They can remember a IA
vor and hold grudge longer than any
areother class of beings. Their hearts
are tender to the call of distress. Their
scorn of deceit and pretenslons is sub
lima May the fates be kind to all the
boys and permit them to grow up and
marry nice girls, who even better than
boys.-Banger News.

ly enjoyed by the callers. There was
also music and dancing on the pro-
gramme.
There was an interesting debate in
Granniss hall, Strong school, yesterday
afternoon by members Of grade 5. All
the pupils of the grade were present.
The question was: Resolved, That the
Chinese exclusion act Is for the best in
terests Of the United States" The af-
flrmative was taken by Arthur Phillips,
Roy Emanuelson and Joseph Donahue,
and the negative side was advocated by
Frank Allen, Franklin Wilson and Lew
is Harrison. The affirmative took the
ground that an admission of the Chi
nese to the country would undo the Ia
Dor market and work to the general
disadvantage of the country. On the
other side it was maintained that
America is a free country, is open to
the people of the world, and that an
admission of the Chinese would help
our trade relations and would afford
opportunity for good on very large
SCALE The affirmative carried the day.
The judges were Myers Schapiro and
Wilson Emery, of the high school. 1t
was an able debate and took forty min
utes.
The graduating class of Strong school
numbers ninety-nine. This is twenty
seven more than the class of 'O5.
The running expenses of the borough
of Fair Haven East for the past year
amounted to about $1,000 This expen-
diture is for the maintenance Of the po-
lice, lighting the streets and for the ex-
penses of the fire department. A small
payment is also made for interest ON
the borough debt. The annual business
meeting will be held at the engine house
next Monday night. At this meeting
the usual tax will be laid, reports made,
etc. Afterwards the new government
will be sworn in. 1t is expected that
the new warden, A. L. Chamberlain,
will have his committees ready to an
nounce that evening at the converting
of the new government.

SPIDER THAT EATS BIRDS.

Lives in the Forest Of the South Amerl-
can Tropics,
There has just been deposited in the
insect house at the zoo a specimen Of
the bird eating spider, which earns it's
name by occasionally including in its
menu some of the brilliantly hued hum
ming birds and varicolored f1nches of
the South American tropics.
1t is doubtful whether the silken
threads which he spins in nrofusion
constitute his most effective tackle for
securing his prey; indeed, it is more
probable that the little birds get caught
through alighting upon the banana and
other leaves, In the twisted folds of
which the spider makes his home. The
similarity of his coboring to the bark
Of trees, to which he attaches himself,
is also a powerful factor In enabling
him to approach his prey
The silken threads which help to en-
snare SO many beautiful birds are a

The bird eating spider is much

HOW coNvIcTs KILL TINE.

HOW CONVlCTS KILL TIME.
Some Have Made Useful Artieles-One
Committed to Memory Old Testament.
The convict whose idle hours are the
bitteress of his term of Imprisonment
must kill time clandestinely unless the
governor or the chaplain is willing 10
take very broad view of the regula>
tons in order to help him. Sometimes
skilled workman of an industrious
turn of mind will appeal to one or
other of these gentlemen to find him
some employment for his spare time.
Thus a clever wood carver mentioned
in recent report of the prison COM
missioners was able to present to the
chapel a really magniflcently carved
eagle lectern in oak, entirely the work
Of his own hands, and done in hours
which might otherwise have been spent
in solitude and idleness.
An ex-governor of great prison has
in his possession a remarkably hand
some sideboard in walnut, which was
made for him by convict of prison
where he was governor for some ten
years. The man appealed to him for
some means of killing time, and know
ing the man to be cabinet maker, ne
rovided him with wood and tools. The
sideboard was the surprising reult, and
in consequence Of it when the convict
took his discharge, there was a SUD
stantial present from the governor to
help him in making fresh STRAIT in
life. Moreover, while thus Employed
his hand was not losing It's cunning
nor his mind lying falow, and his
chances of leading an honest life there
after were therefore greatly increased.
On the other hand, prisoners have
been known to kill time secretly by
such melancholy devices as making
mats and baskets of straw taken from
their beds than simply sit adm brood.
Others have set themselves to count the
number of times certain letters occur
in the Bible, with a copy of which
every convict is provided, and it is
quite common practice for prisoners
to learn whole chapters, gospels and
epistles by heart. A certain hardened
character once committed to memory
the whole of the Old Testament, but
the moral good it did him could not
have been very great, for two days
after his relase he committed a burg
larry. for which he was sentenced to
three years imprisonment
The chaplain Of prison possesses
considerable powers in the way of pro-
viding convicts with spare time oc-
cupations, and with his cooperation an
educated convict win sometimes in
dulgdulge in such literary pursuits"
as leading his autobiography which
many chaplains consider an excellent
method for getting a prisoner to
weigh his own character, though they
are often disappointed by the measure
of hypocrcritical claptrap such autobio-
graphes conatln.--London Tit-Bits.
