The Magnet as a Detective.

IN America the magnet has como
rather extensively into use in the ham
ding of iron and steel castings. Sus-
pended from locomotive crane, 1t
can also be used for collecting scraps
of metal from floors and yards. Large
amounts are said to be saved in this
way. Asld as the magnet moves over
the ground it may bring to light pieces
which have mysteriously disappeared
concealed. it may be. by employees
to hide blunders in their work Some
years ago il England the magnet was
found useful IL somewhat similar
way in the detection of fraud Manu-
flrtu"2rS Cf bone manure found that
they were buying cid iron along with
the bones. Collectors found that it
was profitable TO insert cts CT cid
metal in the larger bones and thus in
crease tie weight. So the manufac-
turor5 provided themselves with
powerful magnetic apparatus under
which all the bones were PASSED be-
fore being weighed. AS the bones
were slid along a broad groove a large
enc would suddenly jump up and
cling to the wall where the magnet
was concealed. On examination it
would be found to contain perhaps a
rusty old poker in place Of marrow

DISCIPLINARY JAPS.


The SchOOlage of the Japanese
Child OF WellrC-do families usually

this period the lite Japs are unuer

Few nurses however in Japan are al
lowed to exercise any discipline over
their little charges as the child In
Japan is considered of great import
ance. Any Japanese mother who
would venture to turn her children
over to a hired nurse, as is frequently
done by wealthy American mothers,
would be promptly admonished, not
only by her own husband, but by all
her male relatives on both sides of the
family.
So the Japanese children, before 6
years of age, are punished by their
mothers, but this amounts to ltt,e
To slap a child is deemed not only
sign of intense vulgarity and ig-
norance but is considered a grave of
Tense against the child To strike a
child on the head or face is thought
cruel and unnatural and apt to in
jure the chidl's health and intelligence
The Japanese child is seldom punish
ed except for doing things apt to IN
jure the child or some other person.
The principle used by the Japs in
i IL.
against wrong actions more than to
constrain them through fear of punish
ment. Prevent wrong actions is their
aim rather than to punish the child
Children are always admOnished but
seldom compelled.
When a Jap child is to be punished
due notice is given the culprit, for par
ents or teachers or guardians are never
supposed to lose their tempers or to
punish in so-called hot blood. BY an
ancient and amusing custom all the
household, including the servants, are
fender off from his punishment. His
or her little brothers and sisters usual
ly offer to take the punishment on
themselves Angry looks and shout |
ing or harsh expressions are always !
deprecated by the Japanese learned |
men when punshng children.
At school, in the younger grades, |
the teacher always attempts to guide |
his pupils by personal friendship |
rather than fear The children in |
each class are taught to try and keep |
order among themselves and the class
captain, or kyuucho, is always allowed i
to call off the punishments. In high
schools and institutions for graduate |
students the sentiment of each class |
rules it's conduct, and offenders are |
handled entirely by their fellow stu |
dents This is extremely effective and |
Japanese students have many times
committed suicide rather than face |
their angry fellow classmen after SER
ious breeches of class etiquette.
The offenders are ignored b. their !
classmen and are never spoken to, in |
or out of the classrOOms. public
apology by a naughty Japanese stu
dent is needed and this apology must
be made not to the professors of the
institutions, but to the members of his
class. Then when the public apology
has been made a vote is taken and II
a majority are in favor of pardoninS

back by his classmates.

Experts have held that the so-called "eat" of the ancient Romans and Greeks ("ailurus." the wavy-taiIed one) was not cat at all, but a kind of weasel. The mummified Egyptian animal, however. was a genuine cat, even If certain peculiarities about it's teeth make it difficult to regard it as a near relative of the modern domes. tic puss.
 The exact origin of the latter re. mains puzzle. It appears first, mys. teriously, In the middle ages, when 1t was decidedly rare and highly prized throughout Europe, though the wild cat still abounded everywhere. And experts have not been able to satisfy themselves that the domestic cat and The wild one are really the same.
 As result of the recommendation of Dr. Koch of Germany that cats are the best preventives of the plague the Japanese authorities have been taking cat census. At Osaka it was found there were 54,3S9 eats kept by 48.222 families. In addition there were 5.696 homeless cats. In the plague spots of the city no cats were found.

READS LIKE A NATURE FAKE
if This Story Is True New Jersey Grocery Man Certainly Has
 Remarkable Dog.

For years Henry Williamson, a Trenton (N. J) grocer, had great diff culty in dealing with l. O U custom CTS. A year ago a tramp offered tC sell him dog which could be trained Ito do anything" Williamson thought if the animal could be learned the trick of keeping away customers with no money his grocery business would prosper. and with the idea of giving the canine such course of instruc ton. he purchased him.
 Trust was the name assigned to the dog, and every customer was acquaint ed with the canine. as by the actions of the grocer Trust soon learned whether to be friendly or to grow when certain patrons called.
 Mir. Williamson assumed the atti tude of harshness when he was told | to put it on the book" and his de meanor was overwhelmingly friendly when a cash customer made a visit Trust quickly became wise to these changes in his master and took kindly to his course of training
 A few months later the dog would yrowl and make vicious attacks on c. U. customers and would lick the hands of those who paid cash The result is that MT Williamson mas nc more book accounts, his business be ing entirely on a cash basis.

Not Afraid.

Personal courage invests its owner with a protection beyond that afford ed by outside forces. An illustration of this is recorded by Gen. William F. Draper in his "Recollections of a Varied Career" where he gives this incident:
 In 1864 Col Daniels of the Seventh Rhode Island became unpopular with some of his command, and rumor spread that he would be shot at the next engagement. He heard of it.
 It was customary when guns had been loaded for some time to have them discharged into some convenient bank, and Col Daniels took advan- tage of this Marching his regiment out with loaded rifles, he faced them toward a suitable elevation. and talk ing position on the top of it, and In front of them as at dress parade, he gave the commands, Ready.

g0T THE GENERALS COW
Amusing Complication That Followed Soldiers Strict Obedience Of
 Orders Given Him.

The first and the last duty of a com mon soldier is to obey orders. Nor is he allowed to put upon his orders a construction that might suit cases not anticipated. This, however. sometimes leads to amusing results, as in ar instance told by l.. A. Tollemandla in his recent book, "Old and Odd Memories"
 The scene of one of my fathers anecdotes was laid in southern sea- port town, where long ago a general and an admiral were neighbors. The generals house was fronted by a grassplot, on which he claimed the right to pasture COW.
 "One day his wife complained that the supply of milk was falling off. The sentinel accounted for the def. ciency by saying that the grass had lately been much trodden down by the public.
 "The martial despot immediately gave orders that no animal, human or other, except the COW. should be al. lowed on the grass-plot; and he added linen were not particular in those days-that if this rule were infringed the sentinel should be flogged.
 Soon afterward the admirars wife. having pressing engagement, took short cut over the grass in disregard of the sentinels repeated order to halt.

WHISTLE HEARD MANY MILES
Notes of Steamboat Siren Carry Far, Especially on Still Night in
 the Country.

Have you ever wondered what sounds travel the farthest? If you live in a great city you are constantly en- yeloped in such multitude of noises that it is very seldom that any partic- ular one attracts the attention unless 1t be unusually sharp or strident, and although piercing, such sound is not likely to carry any great distance. The higher notes are exceedingly pen etrating for short radius. and un- auestionably more startling than the lower ones, but the latter are much more far-reaching.
 The ability of sound to carry de bends upon it's vibrations. and any one who has listened to the deep notes of a pipe organ in church will admit that he could almost feel the air vii brate. But probably steamboat whistle, such as are common on the Ohio and Mississippi packets, can be heard as far as any sound that may ordinarily be met with. The deep resonance of it's tones. floating stead fly out into the air. seem to stretch away indefinitely into space, especial ly in the stiffness of night in the country.
