The Japanlzatlon Of China.

Japans victory in her war with
China in 1S94'05 procured for her in
demnity in money, the cession of For
! mosa and the prestige of success,
which was immense. From that
time on Japan has been strengthening
her army and navy against Russia
with the object which has been
achieved. While at the same time
China has been cultivated with a keen
appreciation of the fact that without
the moral, If not the material, con-
troll Of that country, Japan could not
alone accomplish the task she had
assumed of directing the destinies Of
the Orient.
Japan has undertaken the Japan
ization of China methodically by the
establishment in China and Japan Of
schools-military industrial and agri-
cultural. Recently twenty-five pri-
mary schools were opened in the
Chinese provinces with 1884 scholars.
Four Of these schools are military, at
Pao-Ling, Out-Chan, Marking and
Canton, and are modelled after st.
eyre, in France. The instructors are
Japanese or Chinese educated in Jap
an. The school at Canton is admin
istered by Japanese entirely. Every
year seven hundred young Chinese,
graduates Of schools in Japan, are as
signed with rank to the provincial
army. The student graduates are all
exalted and imbued with new Japan
csc ideas. Actually there the $500
Chinese students in the schools and
universities of Japan The military
mandarin, once a low grade and de-
spised officer, is now elevated and

sity, or organizing a national army,

ing respect for the interests and dig

MARTHA WASHINGTON IN CAMP.
At Valley Forge She Knit Stockings
For Her Husbands Dare-Footed
HerOps

Martha Washington was then
forty-five years Of age, and those
who went to the camp and expected
to find her arrayed in the gowns
which they had supposed would be
worn by the Generals wife were dis
appointed" writes William Perrine
of "Washington's Christmas at Valley
Forge" In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Whilst our husbands and
brothers are examples of patriot
ISM she would say to her country
women, we must be patterns OF in
dustry' She did not hesitate to wear
a brown dress and a speckled apron
when receiving fastidious and ele-
CANT visitors at Morristown. 1t was
said afterward that she acquired her
inveterate habit of knitting in her
zeal at Valley Forge to relieve the
bare-footed men around her. On
every fair day she might be seen
walking through the rude streets OF
the town of huts with a basket In
her hand. Entering the hut of a
sergeant, she found him dying on
pallet of straw, his wife beside him
in the anguish of final separation
She ministered to his comfort with
food prepared by her own hands
Then kneeling she earnestly prayed
with her sweet and solemn voice
for the stricken couple. All day long
she was busy with these errands Of
grace, or in the kitchen at the stone
house, or in urging other women to
lend helping hand. And when she
passed along the lines of the troops
she would sometimes hear the fer
vent cry of God bless Lady Wash
ingtonv or Long live Lady Wash
'ington!' Well, indeed, might the men
feel that they could fight to their
very last drop of blood with a COM
mander whose wife, who was former
ly the belle and leader Of her set
among the danes and damsels OF Viz
ginia, was not ashamed to be seen
darning his and her own stockings!"

Shot a Black Wild Goose.

G. H. Driggers has killed black
wild goose, the only one ever seen in
this part of the country and the only
one ever killed on the river, so far
as known.
Thousands of the wild fowl roost
on the Hover islands here and feed on
the wheat fields of the Horse Heaven
hills. The big honkers make two trip9
daily to their feeding grounds, passing
over this village early in the morning
and again late in the afternoon. When
the wind blows strong the geese are
obliged to fly low in order to get over
the high SUBMITS of the hills just back
of the town. The hunters hide them
selves in the sagebrush along the hill
sides. and pick their game as it flies
within range.
While Mr. Driggers was hunting this
morning he saw the black bird, which
he thought was a bald eagle, since
eagles frequently follow the geese IN
their flight and capture as many as
they can for food Mr.. DTiggers shot
the black bird and killed it. The bird
is coal black, but in every other re-
spect is exactly like the ordinary wild
goose that winters at this point

Color Science.

The following statements have been
made from time to time by experts on
color science.
Children under seven years Of age
usually prefer yellow to other colors.
Women are more apt to have brown
eyes than any other color, the proper
ton of that hue being thirty-one out
Of every hundred.
Colors passing through prism can
be made to produce sounds; green and
red make the loudest noises, whereas
blue and yellow produce the faintest.
Dew will not fall on certain colors.
A yellow board will be covered with
dew, while red or black one will re-
main quite dry.
In ordinary cases of partial color
blindness, of which there are many
more than is commonly supposed, the
color sensations that remain are blue
and yellow, not blue and red or blue
and green, as is generally assumed and
even stated in textbooks, says Home
Notes.
On the isthmus of Tehuantepec
there has lately been found a flower
thatc hanges color, being white in the
morning, red at noon and blue in the
evening. 1t roughly does the work of
a clock, the changes being remarkably
regular.

Two New Senators.

Michigan's new Senator-elect has
served a dozen years in the House
No shadow of danger which he can
avert will ever come nigh the Michi-
gan beet sugar mills; We fear he will
need lot of converting to free trade
with the Philippines. But he has been
hard working Congressman, accord
ing to his lights, and he does not owe
his promotion to money, nor yet to
the political machine in his state; that
was for another man, millionaire.
William Alden Smith had a boyhood
Of poverty; twenty-seven years ago he
was page in the Michigan House.
Kansas new Senator-elect, Charles
Curtis, had boyhood Of poverty, too.
He sold newspapers in the Topeka
streets, and rode as Jockey in the
races, and drove a cab while he was
studying law. He is serving his
fourth term in the House, and is said
to be that body's only full-blooded
Indian. The KaW tribe gave Charles
Curtis to Kansas, we are told.
There are much more undesirable
md risky ways of getting United
States Senators than the old.fashioned
way Of promoting diligent members Of
