 NOTES OF ST.

| Aht QuCN~ UT IN Sn1S '' tion between Japan and the United States Is due to differ ences over statistics and minor de- tails. The Japanese government In it's memorandum of Dec. 31 maintained the incorrectness of the figures pre- sented by Ambassador O'Brien, which showed an extraordinary number of Japanese entering America since March, and replied to the memoran- dun with the Japanese figures, show ing wide divergence. The American reply of Jan. 25, couched In the friend Hest terms, said 1t appeared impossi- ble to reconcile the discrepancy in fig ures and suggested the possibility of frauds.
 Count Boni de Castellane, the di- vorced husband of Anna Gould of New York, was found guilty by the correc- tional court of Paris of criminal assault and battery on Prince Helie de Sagan, his cousin, and fined S20. The prince was awarded 20 cents damages. The cause of the fight is said to have been because Prince HeIie was paying at tention to Mme. Gould, and this is sup posed to have provoked Count Boni to the assault.
 The funerals of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz were held at Lis- bon. Great crowds watched the pro cession, but there were no disorders. King Manuel and the two queens of the Portuguese royal family did not attend the service at the cathedral.

IF II Is PAPER, SEE ANDREWS
SOME FACTS WORTH READING
ABOUT BIG HOUSE.
Started Out to Do Business on a
Broad Scale, and Is
Doing It.

If it is paper that is wanted, then the
r. p. Andrews Paper Company of 62o-629
Louisiana avenue, Washington. has 1t or
will get it. 1t has been that principle
which has built this company up to
concern with a volume of sales amounting
TO three-quarters of million yearly.
In newspaper article published re-
Gently credit was given to r. P. Andrews
for doing as much toward making
newer Washington as any man in the
city The efforts of this business man
to develop trade for Washington and the
surrounding territory and to make Wash
ington the business center of this portion
of the United States have not been fitful
or spasmodic. For years he has been
enthusing others with the same spirit
which he has found to be a success
maker" In addition he makes it known
TO every one he meets that he wants
Washington to be the business center of
this part of the south and wants TO see
the out-of-town buyers of paper come
here.
There is no good reason why Wash
ington should not be successful COM
petitor for the southern trade" he said
recently. Washington can compete with

New York and Philadelphia as we'll as
Baltimore. Our own business can be Of
fered as an example of how competition
has been met and defeated right in those
cities. and in West Virginia cities as we'll,
by our firm.
When we said we would build up a
wholesale business outside of Washington
people laughed at us. and yet today we
have the largest wholesale paper house
south of New York. We are doing BUSH

Maryland, North and South Carolina,

was composed of r. P Andrews and j.
George Smith. Mr. Andrews looking after
the Out-of-town bus ness and Mr.. Smith
having charge of government contracts.
Mr.. Smith dropped out of the company
few years after it's organization
The new firm started in 1896 with little
business; for the Addison firm had been
in the hands of aSSiSneeS for some
months, so that the stock had become
run down and the patronage impaired.
From the very beginning of its organi-
cation the new firm was successful. 1t
soon found the quarters which it was oc-
cupying at 62I Louisiana avenue too small
for its rapidly growing business. AS a
result of increase of business, the firm
built through from what was then the
rear of its quarters to d street. A second
increase was made later by adding to the
warehouse the building at 600 Louisiana
avenue. The firm kept on enlarging its
u street frontage, until today it extends
from GA to 634. and on Louisiana avenue
from 625 TO Go
In addition to a very extensive local
trade the firm has regular customers all
over the United States and has shipped
large quantities of paper to the Philip
pine Islands. to Porto Rico, and to Cuba.
The government sales department of the
firm under the successful management Of
Cornelius T. DAILY. vice president of the
firm, has competed against and has been

awarded contracts over the largest paper
concerns in the United States. The entire
sales Of the company during the first year
of its existence did not amount to more
than $4,000, while since that time it has
had government contracts alone amount
ing to five times that amount. The en-
tire sales of the company have grown
from a small figure at the outset to more
than three-quarters of million an
nually.
The firm is the direct representative of
various paper mills and factories, in diff
ferent parts of the country, among them
the Whiting Paper Company, the largest
manufacturer OF fine writing paper in
the country. and the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company. the largest manu-
facturers OF book papers in the world.
The firm handles all kinds of paper,
from the finest and most expensive grades
OF linen writing papers to the cheapest
and most economical writing and wrap
ping papers. They deal extensively also
in envelopes of all kinds, paper bags and
blank books of all kinds.

Obesity and Will Power.
From Will Power.

from W Ill POWER.
Obesity is easily cured with the exercise
of thee proper care and restraint on the
part of the patient. Without this, how
ever, the cure is impossible, and no ply
stefan or medicine can be of any help.
The happy-go-lucky dispositions of fat
people, their tendency to regard their all
ment lightly, cause them to look upon
nothing seriously, to deny themselves
nothing. These characteristics, which
generally are responsible for their all
ment, furnish the greatest obstacles in the
way of curing them. AS rule the fat
person does just the opposite of what he
bought to do. He eats the very foods he
should avoid avoids those he should eat,
shuns eXertion of every kind, INDUCES in
rest and luxury and seeks the way of the
easiest resistance generally.

sions since 1859, at which time he went with his wife to the Arcot Mission. Dr. Chamberlain was born iE Sharon and graduated from the Western Reserve Col lege, the New Brunswick Theological Seminary and the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons. Before going to the Arcot Station, Dr. Chamberlain did pioneer work in India. He learned the Tamil language and most of his life was spent among the tribes, with head quarters at Mandanpalle, about 150 miles inland from Madras. He was the auth or of many theological works, missionary reports and reviews. Among his works are ''The Tiger Jungle" 1.-The Cobra's Den," "The Bible Tested in India," "The Religions of the Orient" and "The Opportunity of the Ages" Dr. Cham berlain is survived by widow and six children.
 The village was aroused on Saturday evening March fourteenth when the viii lagers were mostly in dreamland, by the voices of sweet singers of Sharon serenad- ing Harold B. Dakin and his bride on their return from their bridal tour through the sunny South. After the rendering of several selections our VII lage band continued the serenade. We could not fully decide the selections nor the kind of instruments that were being used to produce such harmony but It was certainly most charming and made us almost believe that we again were young. H. B. Dakin appeared on the balcony and, after an address of welcome most eloquent and touching manner. Certainly all welcome MT. and Mrs. Da- kin to Sharon again after their pleasant Southern trip. MT. Dakin is completing large and commodious apartments with all modern improvements. Long may MT and Mrs. Dakin live to enjoy the beauties of Sharon. Let us all endeavor to make Sharon so beautiful and attrac- tive that none of our young people will ever wish to leave it. ..*

IMPROVEMENT IN THE
 COUNTRY SCHOOL s

 with all her pupils. Even in small school, there may be one, who will not respond to her efforts to help. A case in point came under the writer's notice. In certain district, a change was made in teachers. Almost immediately, the progress of a backward girl became noticeable. It was not because the new teacher was better than the old, but be- cause that girl was willing to work with year, she had had way of closing her mouth, which suggested considerable obstinacy.
 An article of this. kind would not be considered complete, unless it at least touched upon the vexed question of discipline. After watching the teachers, who in this respect, have been most successful the explanation seems to be that less depends upon physical force than upon mental agility, less upon trained muscles than upon 8 certain sort of quickwittedness. A horse trainer, who had had considerable suc- cess as a tanner of unruly colts was asked the secret of the remarkable re- suits he had achieved. He replied "I can think faster than those animals can." The successful disciplinarian is not the one who can drag onto the floor and severly whip a bad boy, but is the one, who can think so much faster than that boy, that he is ever wondering what is coming next.
 Coupled with this nimbleness of mind, there ought to be a dignifed manner that will command respect, both in the school-room and out of it. The teachers way of speaking and act ing, on all occasions, should cause her scholars to have such 8 regard for her that they will try not to oppose her, but to cooperate with her in her efforts Eto help them.
 Such are some of the impressions re- ceived, while trying to fulfill duties as acting school visitor. The writer is willing to acknowledge that he may not have sensed the situation exactly as it is, but Is confident that those who have been doing similar work in recent years, if they cannot agree with all that is given above, will find in it a substan- tially accurate reflection of their own experience.

AIRSHIP TESTS.

Wilbur and Orville Wright, Of Da,
ton, Ohio, yesterday made two flights
with apparently the most successful re-
suits near Msnleo, N. O. The seropisne
worked perfectly and the ship sailed
gracefully into the air, executed various
maneuvers at the will OF the inventors,
and dropped back 10 earth without q
hitch.
The first fight made was in stralght-
away course, and the sirship sped grace
fully along the route mapped out for 1t
for three quarters of mile. Then fol-
lowed an effort of more serious pseten-
sious, the seroplsne this time making q
complete circle and covering q distance
of approximately three miles. Both
times the machine was apparently under
the most perfect control, and 10 every
move appeared TO respond to the guild
Ing efforts of The two aeronants.
The highest elevation reached by the
aeroplsns in lie fight was perhaps forty
feet The speed Of the airship was about
a mile q minute. There seems TO be no
doubt now that the Wright brothers
have surpassed The world In airship
