Living Tor lie childSsn.

Froebel's sentiment Come, let US
live for Our children" rests on a sound
philosophic basis. To live for them is
to call out the noblest impulses Of
parenthood. And we cannot live for
them in the truset sense until we BE-
come familiar with their needs. It is
in the endeavor to meet those needs
in the largest way possible that we
find our own characters richly recon-
pensed in strong and well-developed
parenthood. We practically become
what we are by what we have done or
left undone, what We are willing or
unwilling to do for our children. The
principle is universal, and should find
its extension and application among
children at all times and in all places.
Has not the church lost ground In
failing to recognize the primary and
fundamental place of the child in So
ciety? II so. it is obvious how that
lost ground may be recovered.-Homi'

JUDGE Lands INSISTS, a

The Orinkino Orchid.

One of the most remarkable plants
known to horticulturists is the drink.
ing orchid, which is found in South
America This orchid takes a drink
whenever it feels thirsty, by means of
a tube which it let's down into the
water. The tube when not in use is
coiled upon the top of the plant.
The formation of the orchid is diff
ferent from others of its species, hav-
ing sharp leaves, lancehead-shaped,
growing round the root and radiating
from it. From the center of the plant
hangs the tube. about one-eighth of an
inch thick and one-fourth OF an inch
wide. When touched it gradually
contracts and rolls itself up in a
spiral-like coil. AS a rule these or
chids are to. be found growing directly
over the water. or where water has
been. and in the latter case it is al
most pathetic to see how the tube will
work its way over the ground to a
pool or river.

Where the Money Is.

More than 40 per cent of the popu-
lation of the United States proper lies
In less than a dozen eastern states.
These states are known as manufac-
turing states. In the banks of one,
New York state, is contained nearly
40 per cent. of the money of the coun-
try. New York city alone has in its
banks 20 per cent. of the money in cir
culation. This has been made posi-
BILE by the conditions that enable the
large cities TO draw trade from all Sec
lions of the country. In fact, great
cities must have support of a large
territory. But one of the great evils
and which Injuries the masses who are
residents of agricultural district is the
system of drawing support from local
towns and communities to the cities
This system takes from the rural dis
tricts the surplus wealth that should
be retained to build them up.

NOT A GOOD SYSTEM.
How the Mail Order Business Injuries
the Agricultural Sections.

We must admit that the mail order
system is legitimate business If it Is
carried on legitimately. 1t Is a great
American privilege to carry on trade
in this way. Yet the principle from
an American standpoint or any other
standpoint that Is consistent with
equal rights for all is entirely wrong.
Through the mail order system the
merchants suffer a direct loss. To
them it is an unfair competition. IL
diverts trade from established chan'
nels. The loss of the merchants In the
local town means loss to the town
itself, to every resident of the town
and' the surrounding community. III
is the business of the city or town
that makes it a live place or dead
one. Dependent upon the activity OF
a town is to a great extent the value
of all farm lands in its trade territory.
Thus is the farmer affected by any
system that causes a deterioration In
his home town. Yet the farmers are
the main supporters of the catalogue
houses. They assist in feedlnS the
snake that is stealing their eggs and
they little realize it. They are as vi
tally interested in the upbuilding oil
their home town as the merchant. II
is for their benefit as well as for all in
the community that the town is there
There is a more vital phase OF the
question that few farmers realize
That is the evils resulting from the
vast capital that is concentrated IN
the large financial centers. 1t Is this
surplus of money that makes it easy
to build up trusts and combinations
These trusts affect the affairs and the
prosperity of the farmer. He does not
stop to think that when he sends his
money to the distant concern that ne
is doing just so much to help along
the trusts.

NO PERMITS FOR THE JApS

Board of Police Commissioners Refuse
Them Privilege on Ground That
Tney Are Not Citizens.

San Francisco, June 29.-The board
Of police commissioners Thursday
denied the application of five Japa-
nese for the privilege of renewing
their permits to keep intelligence Of
fices in this city and refused two
japanese applicants who desired to
obtain new permits for the same
business, on the ground that the APP
plicants We're not citizens OF
the United States and that here
to fore sthe policy of the board
had been always to give the
preference in these privileges to
citizens, against those who are not
and cannot become citizens.
1t had been urged on behalf of the
petitioners that they were entitled
to the privilege by virtue Of the pro
visions of the treaty but the police
commission contends that if such
right does exist ii is subject to laws

such permits only to citizens of tho

foreign countries and he further
suggested that the refusal to grant

Bishop Nicolai gave himself largely to

The romance of the Roman Catholic
Church in Japan-one of the. fine
stories of all religious history-must
be told in another connection, but
here in Toxic the church is repre-
sented by cathedral, which, next to
the Greek church building. is the
most imposing ecclesiastical edifice In
the city. The total Roman Catholic
membership in Japan is $4,000, and
the missionaries are nearly all
French. There are schools conducted

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

Some years ago on bill boards and
street cars and in the pages OF the
magazines were run a series OF adyer-

can be little doubt as to the whole
some lessons taught by this unique
advertisement. The town that Is not
kept in good condition, its walks in
good repair, its streets we'll graded,
and all neat and clean, is a reflection
upon the residents of the place. and
Is evidence that the town is already
dead or fast dying. Should you make
a good impression upon strangers,
keep streets clean, business places al
tractive, and don't forget that the
front yards and the general conditions
Of the residences indicate the charac-
ter of the people who reside in them.
Residents of agricultural sections
who a few years ago looked upon the
automobile as nuisance, are begin
ming to realize that it is great factor
in road improvement, and has brought
about renewed interest in country
roads and their betterment, with cor
responding benefitv to the farmers.
1t is as much to the interest Of the
people of town that there be good
roads leading to it, as it is to the
farmers who must use them in haul
ing their goods To market

There is vast difference in the
farmers of to-day and the farmers Of
a quarter of century ago. 1t is won

into existence in a single generation
will change conditions. Every limo
walton that makes life in the towns
more desirable, also finds a way or
comforting a benefit upon the farmers.
No longer need for the resident OF the
farm district to not have all the up
to.date things that can be found in the
finest city homes. The telephone and
the rural delivery has brought him
