Taft SWats War BUDGET.

Washington, May "a President
Taft sent back 10 the War Depart
ment the estimates submitted to
him Tor the support OF the military
establishment for the fiscal year
1911, and Indicated his desire that
.hey should be cut approximately
s3G,000.000.
Tbs estimates were prepared dur
ny Secretary Dlckinson's visit f.
Panama and carefully scruslnized by
Acting Secretary Oliver, who reduced
shem to $1T1 $50, 000-$1S, 900, 000
ess than the estimates Tor 1910, hut
about $4,000, 900 more than the
appropriations for that year,
When MIR. Tais SAW the figures he
oppressed his wish that they be TWEEN
y million less than the appropria
ions for 1910.
Assistant Secretary Oliver has sue
ceeded In reducing the figures by
slS 900, 000-hslf she amount asked
{ by the Presldent-lnd they have
aow been submitted TO Secretary
Dickinson for final consideration.
II ha reduces them 80 the extent
,he President wants them cut, 1t will
involve still further cut OF about
S1S,000,000.
The totals do not include expenses
IN account OF the Panama Canal,
nor the permanent annual appro'
priations.
Army officers say the reduction in
estimates, II persisted in by the Pres.
ident, means practically no construc.

Canada has caught the idea of utillz.
Ing the yak, which is native of cen
trail Asia, and serves many useful pur.
poses, being great producer of milk,
with flesh furnishing most appetizing
food and long.haired coat from which
excellent rugs and other articles are
made. The milk is exceedingly rich
and produces superior grade of but.
ter, and there are various other uses
that can be served by the animal.
Among other things it is a highly
tractable beast of burden, Alaska has
proposed to introduce the yak, and
now Canada is to import herd and
test the merits of the creatures. There
appears to be no reason why the ex.
pertinent should not be big success.
The reindeer brought into Alaska have
proved most valuable adjunct to life
in that northern region.

Then Is the time for the shepherd tc
cultivate the virtue of patience.
The eve and lamb should be shut
up together in a small pen. out OF
sight OF the flock. She will at first
have to be held for the lamb to suck
but as the little fellow grows stronger
he will usually help himself, II the
eve is driven into a corner.
Sometimes when there is trouble al
birth and the lamb has to be taken
away the eve will walk of and pay
no attention to 1t, but confinement
with 1t a few days usually solves the
dificulty. About the most hopeless
case is where one Of a pair of twins
is disowned. A remedy is to shut the
eve up with her disowned lamb and
only let the favorite in long enough
to get the necessary nourishment.

The CHIEF VESTAL,
BY NORA e. RECTOR.


copyright. 1909. by American Press Asso-
ciatiOn.I
In the middle of the fourth century
A. D. the struggle between paganism
and Christianity at Rome was draw
ing to a close. The Emperor Constan-
tine still maintained the worship of
the immortal gods, but his wife, the
empress, secretly practiced the rites
of the new religion. Nevertheless, since
paganism was as yet the established
worship of the state, those who openly
avowed Christianity were still anne
nable to the terrible punishments in
dicted by the earlier emperors
Even the virgins appointed to keep
up the sacred fire in the temple Of
Vesta, located in the center Of the
Roman forum, were becoming disaf-
fected toward the religion under
which for a thousand years their Or
der had enjoyed inestimable privi-
leges. So great was the honor attached
to the position of vestal that every
Roman girl aspired to the appoint
ment. There were but six of them,
dwelling in a marble house near the
temple, served by numerous attend
ants and slaves. They were free to
60 anywhere unattended. and in the
Coliseum special box opposite that of
the emperor was provided for them.
If. then, the religion of Jesus was be-
ginning to affect these most honorcd
of Roman women, if it had already
won over the empress, would it not
soon carry with it the emperor. the
senate and the Roman people?
One morning Claudia. the chief

airing, saw the sun glistening on the

statues Of the last of the virgins who
lived there. On one is an inscription
in Latin praising the Vestala Maxima
for her many virtues and her pro-
ficiency in the tenets OF the pagan re-
ligion. One word Of the inscription
has been chiseled from the marble
the name Of her whose praises are
sounded. But the first and last letter
remain, the first and last of the word

Of this story Vestala Maxima went
over to the new religion. Was the
Claudia who saved julius Flavius the

An authority on journalism is re
sponsible for the statement that the
newspapers are in this age the text
books of the masses, the university
of the common people. And how
much truth there is in it. How many
people who have attained to fair
knowledge of aff9irs in general and
of political economy, honestly at
tribute it to the teachings CLEANED
from perusing the public prints. E.
ven as we run, 50 we read, and to
many who would never store away
any knowledge by hard digging, is
this way presented and impressed
many of the deep truths necessary to
the happiness and peace of mankind
This thought should Undue afresh
those of us engaged in the business
of producing newspapers with the
responsibilities we owe to our day
and generation IN preparing and
presenting Its pages. The editors
and publishers are forced to study
and apply what's learnt to their
prints, or else miss the prize of the
mark of their high calling; fail to
grasp the crown in their reach. He
who yields the tripod Yields a scep-
tire, but sometimes fails to wear the
crown, well possibly from over
work and shall we say it? often from

Nagasah Japan-Of all the stir

Any narrative of Roman Catholic
mission work in Japan must so back
to the year 1549, when Francis
Xavier, now canonized, with the fam

a synonym for aggressive piety land

cross here. Xavier was led to Japan
by a Japanese fugitive whom he had
baptized in India. Phenomenal sue

the other priests who followed him,

two and half years. Ere long con-
verts began to enter the church at
the rate of 10000 year, coming
from all classes of society, noblemen,
Buddhist priests, scholars and peas

1873 Jesuit missionaries in Japan, q
larger number than are here at the
present time, and the Christians num-
bered more than 10000. Twenty
