on Ms table. with his letters, a fiat
and almost square parcel, which the
addressed label told him contained
the Archaeological Report of the
Egyptian Exploration Fund, and he
had heard that the new number would
contain an account of a papyrus re-
which some new fragments of Pin
dar had been found No dinner that
could be devised and no company
that could be asked to meet him at
it, could be half as delightful as that
to the man who so deeply loved the
ancient literature of his country, and
he made up his mind at once that ne
would not even take the trouble to go
to a club, but would have bird and
salad in his rooms.
Unhappily for his peace and his an
ticfpated feast of poetry, he looked
through his letters to see if there

was only colored postcard from Bay
reuth, with the word greetings"
scrawled beside the address in her
large hand. Next to the card, how
ever, there was a thick letter ad-
dressed in commercial writing he
remembered but could not at once
identify; and though it was apparent
ly business communication, and
could therefore have waited till the
next morning. when his secretary
would come as usual, he opened it out
of mere curiosity to know whence 1t
came.
1t was from Mr.. Pinney, the jewel

scientious account of the whole affair

Iogotheti and Van Torp had gone out
together until Mr.. Pinney had locked

Baraka and Spiro had been lodged in
Brixton Jail. The envelope contained
also a cutting from the newspaper

Tradition and Farming.

The part that science can play IN
successful farming is up for discus
sion. We are even told that agricul.
ture is all a matter Of science, whether
the boy learns it at college or behind
the plow. The ways Of nature have
to be mastered somehow. and it Is
plain that science cannot change them.
Professor L. H. Bailey Of tho Cornell
Agricultural college says that mere
knowledge Of the laws underlying pro.
duction will not make a man a good
farmer. He must see the laws ct
work.
The boy on the farm ices the laws
At work. He. may v know the
why and wherefore Of the phenomena
daily before him. the same grass turn
ing to wool and mutton here and TO
hair and MIX there. But his father
tells him the lesson which he learned
from his father-that it's the right thing
to feed the cows and sheep on the sams
grass. Traditions are the: product Of
applied science. They record bitter fail.
IRE as well al harry success in the ltfs
and death struggles man has waged
With the soil.

The Constitutional Emperor.

A n A00 COU0CxCUCIOUAx hulO0xOCs T-F
BY words rather than deeds the i'm
puIsive and strenuous kaiser has i'm
pressed himself upon the, American
people as an emperor Of the kind that
reigned before divine right was seri-
ously challenged and whose .'iron
hand" or mailed fist stands for ire
sistible sway. William III. is not of
that kind, and it needed but a clash of
his will with the aroused will Of the
German people to show that the impe-
rial power centered in Berlin is moth
ing to make the earth tremble unless
backed by the national spirit.
Politically the German empire is a
union governed as a federal represent
alive system. The parliament is cleo
tive and democratic. There is no mon
arch In the usual sense, but a mo-
uarchical feature is retained by making
the presidency Of the federal council
hereditary and vesting the imperial ex-
ecutive power in the king Of Prussia.
Prussia is the strongest member Of the
union and holds che balance Of power
In parliament. But the powerful states
Of Wurttemberg, Bavaria and Saxony
hold special privileges guaranteed by
the constitution as inviolsble. In brief.
the kaiser is a president having unusu-
al powers and privileges. which, how.
ever, stop far short of being supreme.

a Little Japauese Fiction,

1t must have required some clever
coaching to work the present genera
ton of Japs up for the hearty well
come they recently gave our battle
ship feet. The keynote of the vel
come seems to have been that the
Americans brought greatness aud pros
perity to Japan and that the demon
stration Of 1908 was only an answer
to the call Of Commodore Perry fifty
years ago. when Japan was opened up
to the world.
Now, the Japanese hate the foreign
er today as heartily as their ancestors
did when Perry somehow convinced
them that itswould be a good thing to
mix with the world. 1t has never been
made clear whether 1t was the size
Of Perry's feet and guns or an appre.
citation Of the big land behind tho
feet and guns that converted the Japs
in 1858 or Perry's diplomatic way Of
putting the whole question. 1t was
not unanimous then with the nation.
Civil strife followed. Finally the LIB
erals won, although they had to con-
cede about ev%erything'to the universal
prejudice against foreigners. How
this could have been explained to the
present day Japs, who worship their
ancestors and are not inclined to for
get the past and "let bygones be by
gones," is a riddle. Perhaps there is a
Japanese fairy lore In which the Amer
lean smile and the American touch al
ways work right for good Japs.

Md ND Hpne.ty.

A foreigner who has been in this
country taking notes says that the
American children are kept too clean.
They are robbed Of the natural heri-
tage ,of every child and held ready for
parade in and out Of season. The de-
sire to get close to Mother Earth is an
instinct Of nature. The earth is clean
and sweet, and it's only q finical dis
tinction in color that makes honest
smut unseemly. There's honesty be-
meath muddy feet and hands and
frocks and trousers. A child with that
outlet won't take the trouble to sneak
and lie. Often a child is .'hauled in"
from an orgy with mud pies. spanked,
washed and clothed afresh, only to go
straight out and offend again in the
face of another licking. IF evil comes
of 1t, 1t should be laid to the punish.
ment and not to the mud. Punishment
leads to deceit and to pastimes on the
sly which leave no trail.
The wife Of q rich self made man
placed her son in a fashionable board
ing school with the single proviso that
he was to "have a good time regard
less of expense" The father had had
to work hard when a boy and wanted
his hopeful brought up differently. So
long as the money lasted the boy es-
capped hard work and honest smut, but
1t is- needless to say he reveled in
swill. Nature must have her pay day
from rich and poor. Soft hands and
spick and span clothes may be a badge
o f.snobbery. but they are not a patent
Of nobility. Children will learn to be
clean and tidy when they come to it
by the road that leads to self respect.
and they'll never forget the why and
wherefore of the new birth. Play that
leaves its mark on the child, like toll
that leaves CRIME on the hands,
teaches resourcefulness and self con-
troll. Mud will come of. but some.
times play that is clean puts a faint
on character that neither the rod nor
prayers can take away.

Deliberations In Marrying.

Without waiting for q decision In
the debate going on all ovel the coun.
try ,ns to the lowest limit for income
desirable In married life. II Harvard
professor and a Boston preacher have
undertaken to fix q limit dogmatically.
It Is reported that the professor holds
1t to be a "sfn against the country for
q man to MARRY unless his income 10
at least $500 a year and that the
preacher will refuse to perform tho
ceremony for a man whose income IL
less than $12 per week. The justifica-
tion for the limit Is essentially the
same In each case.
The professor holds that children
cannot be properly brought up on an
Income less than $500 year, and an
attempt to do. so would Flower the
Standard Of American citizenship"
The preacher thinks that marriage on
less than $12 a week ''tends to the in
crease of poverty" These views are
noteworthy at a time when restric-
lions are being placed upon marrying
in haste. The restrictions, however,
have to do with the legal status Of the
union. The taking out of a license
leads to some elaboration and is not
without moral effect. AS a rule all
who are interested in the marriage Of
any particular couple, except some
times the candidates themselves, favor
elaboration. Restrictions. therefore.
are not likely to become unpopular I'm.
less they tend to discourage wedlock.
Strangely enough. this tendency Of
ours to place restrictions Of one sort
and another upon marriage is contem-
porary with a movement in France to
abate long standing restrictions which
are believed to have discouraged mar
riage and worked harm for the coun-
try and for society. Perhaps there is
a healthy middle ground and we shall
reach it after Il stage of experiment.

A Warming to Go Slow.


No one cat object to calling it a
prosperity panic" if that explanation
of the slump in 1907 is taken as, a
warning to go slow as prosperity smiles
again. A year is much too short a time
for learning how to do without and
to find the simple life agreeable all
around. The burned child breads the
fire" only when thelburn was a-smart
ing one and the smarting Of the hang
on kind.
With the panic for texts the preach
ing of sermons upon the national sin
Of waste will continue. But the best
sermon is the lesson that is burned in,
and IL we cannot believe that the panic
was a real scorcher we a at least
make sure that the prosperity Of today
II the real thing before we plunge into
q prosperity gait Of high living.

Sixtieth Annual Fair.

This years fair to be held at Elk
horn, Sept. 21-24, is the sixtieth annual
exhibition of the Walworth County Ag-
ricultural Society. This is the oldest
fair association in the state, and it has
attained the greatest success of any
county fair in the world This may be
attributed to various reasons, chief of
which is the loyalty and earnestness of
the people themselves. Ever since the
organization of the society over half
century ago every resident of the coun-
ty has been booster. The people have
made the fair the gala event of their
calendar, and no counter attraction is
ever permitted to draw on the interest
of the home show. Good officers have
administered the business of the asso-
citation, and the policy has always been
that of liberality in providing premiums
and purses. Every dollar of prize
money ever put up has been paid in
full, and every promise made has been
carried out to the letter. A square
deal to all" has been motto strictly
adhered to. whether dealing with the
humblest cane rack fakir or the exhibit
tor of a $40, 900 herd of premium stock.
These are few, at least, of the fac
tors which have brought success to the
Elkhorn fair.

that q certain countryman of his had
died, addressed note to the head of
the new government, in which he stat
ed that his own government would be
grateful for certificate Of death of
the individual in question. A few
days later the consul received this

A West Indian Wife Catcher.

AS is customary with Indians the
world over. the Caribs are expert
basket weavers, and many strong and
handsome baskets are to be bought in
Roseau at reasonable prices if one
finds the right shops. writes Harriet
Quimby in Lesiies Weekly. pecul-
lar instrument. made of basket stra W
and woven closely together SO as to
form a hollow tube ending in thong
of twisted ends and commonly dubbed
a wife catcher. is also made and sold
by the Caribs. By slipping the hollow
end over mans finger above the
joint and pulling on the twisted end
the catcher will tighten around the
anger and the captive will be unable
to release his hand. 1t is claimed that
the Indians formerly employed this
device as handcuff for prisoners.
using several for each hand and lead
ing the captives by the fingers. Few
tourists are permitted to leave Roseau
without wife catcher, for which six
pence is willingly exchanged.
