Japanese immigrants.

Paris newspaper publishes an in.
terview accorded by Baron Takahira,
Japanese ambassador TO the United
States, TO its foreign editor, Andre
Tardieu. NJ Tardieu returned a few
days ago from America.
According 10 him, Baron Takahira
expressed the opinion that the pend
ing emigration agreement between
the United States and Japan would
put complete stop TO the movement
of Japanese coolies into California, as
we'll as regulate the emigration TO
Hawaii in satisfactory manner.
NJ. Tardieu, speaking for himself,
says that although there is no chance
at present for a conference between
Japan and the United States. the i'm
migration question has not been ac-
tually solved because Japan does not
recognize the right Of the United
States TO restrain her immigration
and therefore the question may later
serve as a basis or pretext for new
difficulties NJ. Tardieu also draws
attention to the fact that the under
standing with Japan is not satisfac-
tory TO California

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
TO Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers'
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true.
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
fective as though professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
AT first, in the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is a little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man. in a modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod You are, hyp-
notically speaking, entranced.
The average church service is o
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many

Mr. Hale said there were with the
American fleet now going around the

IF there should be war no govern

these Golfers, and without them our

90 YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD ISf
its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. II is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes OF weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form il is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down TO the proper
consistency for application by the adj
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure.
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" OF which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used TO make bulk and initiate the
appearance OF pure White Lead
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity Of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it,
The blow-pipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and il only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue. it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.

General smirnon Fatally Wounded at

Lieut.. Gen. Smirnoff was probably
fatally wounded in a duel Wednesday
morning with Lieut.. Gen. Fock. The
men met in the riding school OF the

ing at twenty PAGES when the shots
were exchanged. The riding school

high rank. and it is even reported that
several women were present.
The duelists were instructed TO open
fire at the word Of command and con-
tinue until one or the other was killed.
At Gen. Focks fourth shot Gen. Smir-
noff groaned and sank forward. He
had been wounded in the abdomen
above the right thigh. He was carried
in a litter TO the military hospital,
where doctors employed Roentgen
rays TO locate the bullet. The duel
was caused by the memorandum writ
ten by Gen. Smirnoff on the siege OF
Port Arthur, in which he questioned
the courage of Gen. Fock. The latter
considered that his honor and reputa-
ton were involved and challenged the
author Of the memorandum
This duel will be followed by an

the Moose Jaw creek, is low level

wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush

mer fallow. which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. ! hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
theearth We did not sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want irst-class seed,
for there is no doubt il you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of
first-class oats out of 100 acres. SO
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded so bushels per acre, and so
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
10 the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got So cents per
bushel clear All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month Of
August before any frost could touch

Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last
