Mr.. Vanderbilt offered to do this voluntar-

the duke and the two children are not af-

tween the duke and the duchess is that
they shall not meet for some time. After
while they will resume their residence
under one roof, but really as strangers. This
modus vivendi has been found very salts

Tropic Possessions Enough.

There are tropic possessions enough for
Japan without tampering with the states,
or if 1t should seem wise, touching England
For such things there is no urgency, and in
getting them there will be no haste; but a
colony she must have, and have sooner, per-
haps, than any one outside her own rulers
dreams. Where will she seek one? Whittier
is she looking even now? South, South past
the tropics; south to Australia.
1--WE need not fear any direct and imme-
diate Japanese aggression-we need not fear
Japan either now or ever. But between
fear, which we need not feel, and blind neg
lect and ignorance of the change and
changing conditions in the far east there
lies a wide field for wise, careful fore
thought, for such diplomatic and even mill
tary and naval preparations as may insure
our readiness when the time comes. And
that time will come. Sooner or later-and
sooner, think, than the most of us fancy
we must come face to face with Japan
somewhere in the Pacific. Our diplomacy
may postpone the meeting for time but
not forever; and only Japan's understand
ing of our strength and of our resolution
to use force, if necessary, will make her
stop when and where We cry halt

P-RUSS ENTENTE
EXPLORER DANIELS THINKS
THIS rs A POSSIBILITY.

DENVER, Col, January 26.-In signed
article on Japan published in the Denver
Times today, Major General William Cook
Daniels, explorer, who recently returned
from an expedition in Borneo, says JAP
anese- Russian entente is by no means i'm
possible"
Japan" Major Daniels says, must col
onize to fulfil her destiny as she sees it. The
tropics do not attract Japan, even as posses
sions. At present, China, or at any rate, a
large part of China, comes first; an infinite
ly richer prize than all the land north of
10 south latitude, and west of 100 east
longitude. In good time she will turn her
attention to those lands, excepting the Phil
ippines, since the states cannot be bribed
with bits of China, nor blocked by Eu-
ropean combination, and would not give
them up without struggle.
Java and Sumatra would do instead, so
would Dutch Borneo, with Celebes and Gil
olo for pendants, lying in the shadow of
Dutch Guinea.

Dipping Swine.

On each and every farm there should
be some provision made for dipping
swine This not only proves to be an
easy and effectual method of disin-
fecting animals which are being
brought upon the farm. but it also fur
nishes a good way for disposing of
lice. Every swine herd should be
dipped at least twice a year, in the
spring and in the fall. There are very
few herds of swine that are not af-
fected at some time or other with lice.
Some recommend sprinkling or spray
ing for lice. This is not very good
way to overcome the difficulty, as the
lice are usually found on the head
close to the ears. under the armpits
and in other secluded places where
spraying could not in any way reach
them. Swine thus affected. when put
through a dipping tank, will be free
from all trouble.-W. ]. Kennedy.

When thoroughbred hogs are kent

Pull up some weeds and throw them

see how the pigs will hurry after them.
Weeds taste good to them in the spring.
The hog makes better gains on the

Liyino Snow,

One of the most curious sights in
northwestern Canada is that Of liv-
ing snow. There a curious phe-
nomenon is seen in the appearance
Of millions Of minute black insects
when a thaw occurs. During the
winter the snow is dry and crisp,
like sand, and nothing whatever
can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as a thaw comes they
are found everywhere in large
patches, looking like busting of
SCOT. They are generally known as
snow feas, or jumpers, and have
slight hopping powers, being able to
leap three or four inches. They en-
tirely disappear when it freezes
again, and not trace of them can
be found. They do not fall with
the snow, as there may have been
no snow for a month or more be-
fore their arrival, and are probably
something similar to the ''red snow"
of the arctic regions.-Dundee Ad-

that new meal should not be eaten
until the previous one is digested
or out of the way and the stomach
has had little rest, and there must
be further rest after eating.
1t is absolutely essential to eat
slowly and chew with the greatest
thoroaghness. Complete chewing
in the mouth, permitting no wash
ing down with coffee or tea, sail
Yates the food so that it is ready for
digestion when it goes into the
stomach, and persistence in the
practice will put good flesh on any
lean dyspeptie. There is a theory
| that when solid food is chewed in
! the mouth to an absolute pulp the
organs in the back of the mouth
exercise a selective action and send
to the stomach only that which is
fitted to be converted into blood and
tissue, thus relieving the digestive
organs of handling the waste.
Whether or not this is correct is for
the science of the future to deter
mine. Certain it is that nature gave
US grinding teeth for the purpose of
chewing our food and never intend
ed that we should swallow it un-
chewed, as do those animals having
more than one stomach.-Charles
II. Cochrane in Metropolitan Maga-
zine.
