Japanese Woman philanthropis..

Miss FL lmura, young Japanese
woman, has come to this country on
her own initiative to study methods
for teaching the deaf, the dumb and
the blind. She has been for several
years a teacher in the state school
for the deaf and dumb in Tokyo. Her
mother was the first Christian. in her
district and her daughter was brought
up In the same faith.
She states that the deaf and dumb
children In Japan are born chiefly in
the homes of the rich families, where
cousins intermarry in order to keep
the money in the family, Blind chill
dren. on the other hand, are found
mostly among the very poor. These
defective children are looked upon as
disgracing their families and are as
rule much neglected in their homes
Miss lmura's object is to start an
industrial school for the deaf, dumb
and blind in Japan. In the hours not
devoted to visiting the institutions OF
America she is engaged with an. as
sistant In pr airing conversation
books in Japanese. Korean. Chinese
and English.

The Great American
Show Has this to Offer

Those interested in the evolution Of |
the circus and who wish to be remind
ed OF the shows Of their childhood will
all want 10 see the Great American
show, which is to give two perform.
ances In Logan next Tuesday, for 1t Is
the best modern example Of the old.
time one.ring show, the kind that |
Dan Rice made famous in his day. 1t |
Is oldfashioned In that H. contains |
only one ring, but most people will
consider this an advantage, as the
average man wishes to concentrate |
his attention on one thing, even In
his pleasures, and does not ike TO feel
that he is losing anything going on
about him. The show is, however,
strictly up.to.date In that its actors
are the best in their profession. The
acrobatic work is especially strong
and all will enjoy the Merriams in
their upslde.down act, the Smiletto
Family on the slack wire and on the
horizontal bar, to say nothing Of nu-
merous clowns, trained dogs, goats
and monkeys. The. Great American
show has received very tiattering
newspaper comments all along its
spring tour from the Pacific coast east
to Utah. Everyone Is delighted 10 go
back to one.ring circus since every
thing connected with it is Of so excel
lent a quality; distinguished actors,
marvellous acrobats, and wonderfully
well-trained animals. 1t is ali under
the direction of Nat Reese who, 1t will
be RENE m bered, was the first to show
Utah how TO loop.the.loop.

People who live in damp localities,
particularly near undrained land, in
France have discovered simple rem

experiments have shown that it is
possible materially to improve the at

the planting of the laurel and the sun
flower. The laurel gives of an abund-
