A GOOD STORY. BUT

An intensely exciting story was
printed in the New York Herald the
other day about one Willie McKinnon.
who. while engaged in the pastime of
cultivating garden truck in his fathers
back yard, heard a rushing noise like
the approach of a railroad train. As
there is a railroad track not far from
the McKinnon home, Willie surmised
that the noise was indeed made by
train, and did not look ND from his
work. But just then there was a con-
cussion evidently caused by the impact
OF a heavy body upon the surface of
the earth, and Immediately thereafter
shower of dirt fell upon Willie. These
happenings caused Willie to hasten to
the conclusion that the noise he had
heard had not been caused by a train,
and he looked up and proceeded to in
vestigate. CHANGING about, he per-
ceived that something had fallen on
the earth not far away He went to
see what it was and found-so the story
continues-"a substance almost per-
tectly round and about ten inches in
diameter" 1t is added that the sur
face of the meteor was deeply scored
with what resembled hieroglyphics."
The story in the Herald goes no
farther, but there are several things
in connection with it which render it
incredible. For instance, if a meteor
had fallen, as alleged, and was only ten
inches in diameter it would have buried
| itself so far in the earth that Willie
would have been digging still if his
curiosity had been aroused and he
wanted to see what is looked like. Then
| again, it is pretty certain that if there
had been any hieroglyphics on the
meteor when it started for Willie's
| neighborhood they would have been
melted off long before they reached
what is called terra firma. On the
whole the conclusion seems inevitable
that the story is good one but that it
| isn't true

II paid for street car ride, but seem

woman on car. When the band
played Lohengrin's wedding march

it was also known as THE Maiden's

pared and served in the large dining
room at $3.50 o'clock A half melon

as soon as Captain Hardman tapped
the bell their disappearance was be-
gun. The men were also allowed the
freedom of the yard during the morn

Thanksgiving Day.-Lansing News.
Some farmers are known to be
somewhat slack in the matter of keep
ing the weeds trimmed along the pub
lie roads and in fence corners says
the Hiawatha World. "And this, in
measure, explains why the farmer
can struggle every year with the weeds
in his field, possibly, by tireless effort
freeing it from weeds in the fall, but
still finds the weeds apparently thick
err than ever before the following
spring. In these roadside weed patches
the farmer maintains a nursery for
the crop he fights in his fields A little
attention to this matter would not only
improve the looks of the roads, but
would make the work on the farm
easier in the long run, for weeds are
the source of about half the work on
the farm. Realizing this, the state
agricultural department of Iowa has
sent out printed instructions to far
mers, telling them how best to destroy
the roadside weeds common in that
state. Something of the kind might
be helpful from the pen of Mr.. Co
burn, for the farmers believe in him,
and even if they already know a good
method of weed determination would
be more likely to act upon his sug-
gestion. Perhaps the best way is to
keep them moved close and keep from
seeding. Every weed that grows seeds
the country for miles around bothers
not only the farmer on whose land it
grows, but the seeds also blow on
farms miles away"

JAPAN,S FINANCES

Perhaps the most important inter-
national news item of last week was
the announcement of the modification
of the Japanese naval programme.
A drastic cut has been made in the
proposed military and naval outlay.
and the much heralded plan of adding
to the already burdensome war taxes
by the building of numerous war YES
sells and increasing the efficiency of the
navy in other particulars has collaps-
ed. The reduction in the proposed ex-
penditures for the next half a dozen
years amounts to $10O,0OO,O0O, of which
three-fourths is taken from the esti-
mates for the army and the navy.
The Japanese national expenses have
grown rapidly in recent years, those for
the army and navy since the recent war
with Russia, amounting to $4,000 900
more per year than was spent in the
year preceding the war. The annual
interest on the public debt is $50, 600 600
greater than ever before. To meet this
expense heavy taxes have been re-
sorted to; and it was proposed to in
crease the indebtedness for the purpose
of making still greater expenditures
upon the army and navy, principally
the latter. The radical change of this
programme is exceedingly fortunate for
the people already burdened with a re-
cent heavy income tax, land tax, an
inheritance tax, a general excise, and
variety of stamp taxes, in addition
to what were called the extraordinary
special taxes for the immediate needs
of the war with Russia
When the people. in the midst of fin
ancial reaction and depression, learned
that these extraordinary burdens of
war, which had been cheerfully borne
while they were actually needed for the
national defense, were to be continued
and even made greater in times of
peace, their discomfort became ire
sistible and the military enthusiasts
have been forced to yield to the con-
ditions of the people and to the pres
sure of foreign creditors.
These facts should serve to remove
any apprehension that may have been
felt by some people about a possible
war between Japan and this country.
At present. for that country. such a
programme. if 1t ever were contempla-

MORALITY AND EDUCATION.

The problem of moral education
concerning which there has been
much discussion in theological as well
as pedagogical circles for many years
past, with little result, is engaging at
tention abroad. From September 25
to 29 the first international assem-
blage for the consideration of this i'm
portant subject will hold sessions in
England, at the University of London.
The formal title of the gathering is
the International Moral Education
congress. Chief among the countries
participating. in addition to Great
Britain and her principal colonies, will
be the United States, France, Italy,
Russia. Belgium. Spain and Japan.
The topics underlined for discussion
seem to cover the whole field of moral
education in the schools They in
clude the following: The Principles of
Moral Education; Aims, Means and
Limitations of the Varying Types of
Schools; Character Building by Disci-
pline, Influence and Opportunity: The
Problems of Moral Instruction; Rela-
ton of Religious Education to Moral
Education; Special Problems: System
attic Moral instruction; The Teaching
of Special Moral Subjects; The Rela-
ton of Moral Education to Education
Under Other Aspects; The Problem of
Moral Education Under Varying Con-
ditfons of Age and Opportunity;
Biology and Moral Education.
Many eminent authorities will con-
tribute papers, among them Professors
Mackenzie and Muirhead of Great
Britain, Felix Adler of the United
States. Cesare Lombroso of Italy and
Madame Kovalevsky of Russia. I'm
doubtedly the holding of the congress
Will tend to organize thought upon it's
important subject and will stimulate
discussion of the problems of moral
education in every country repre-
scented.
