AFTER THE BATTLE.
An Incident That Seemed to Explain
Joshua's Miracle,

An Incident That Seemed to Explain
Joshua's Miracle.
There was an incident In our life at
Brandy, connected with Gettysburg.
which is worth relating. Batchelder,
whose map Of the battlefield of Gettys-
bury Is authority and whom we had
fallen In with while we were there
asked to join our mess At Brandy when
he came to the army to verify the po-
sitions of the various commands. One
night we had just sat down to dinner
when he entered our big hospital tent.
quite tired.
WELL" he announced after taking
his place at the table, II have been
down in the Second corps today, and
believe | have discovered how Joshua
made the sun stand still. l first went
to regiment and had the officers
mark on the map the hour Of their
position at certain point. Then |
went to - regiment in the same bri-
gade. They declared positively 1t was
one or two hours earlier or later than
that given by the other. SO it went
on, no two regiments or brigades
agreeing, and If hinted that some of
them must certainly be mistaken they
would set me down by saying with
severe dignity, we were there, Batch
elder, and we ought to know. guess,
and made up my mind that 1t would
take day Of at least twenty hours
instead Of thirteen at Gettysburg to
satisfy their accounts. So when JOSH
ua's captains got around him after the
fight and they began to talk 1t over
the only way under the heavens that
he could ever harmonize their state
ments was to make the sun stand still
and give them all chance"
ANY one who has ever tried to estab-
lish the exact position or hour when
anything took place In an engagement
will confirm Batchelder's experience
and possibly, II not too orthodox, ac-
cept his explanation of Joshua's feat.

THE SAFFRON PLANT.
Il Is Among the Very Oldest Of the
Vegetable Products.

Vegetable Products.
The particular species Of crocus that
has from time immemorial been culti-
waited for its dried stigmas, a product
known under the name of saffron, is
Crocus sativus, which Is wild from
Italy to Kurdistan. Saffron may be
reckoned among the very oldest Of
vegetable products, being alluded to in
the Song of Solomon among other
spices of Lebanon. The name crocus
is Chaldean or Greek and was first
used by Theophrastus of Eresus about
$50 B. c., and that 1t was we'll
known and admired flower in Greece
soon afterward is shown by Sophocles,
who mentions the "crocus of golden
beam" in his "Cedipus at Colonos."
The word saffron seems to be cor
ruptlon Of the Arabic name "al zahafa-
ran," and the product itself was first
imported into England as spice or
condiment, being also used as color
or dye for silks and other fabrics of
the eastern looms.
At later date, exactly when is not
known, the plant itself was cultivated
in England, more especially in Essex,

SUGAR AND CANDY.
Satisfy the Cravings Of the Children
For Sweets.

For Sweets.
Children may eat too much sugar,
and they may also stay too long in
their bathtub, or in the creek when
they go in swimming, or get tanned or
a headache from playing too long in
the sun, or chilled by staying too long
in the open air, but is that any sound
reason why they should be deprived of
sweets, sunlight, baths and fresh air
or discouraged from indulging in
them?
All that is needed, says DR.. Woods
Hutchinson In Success Magazine, is a
little common sense regulation and ju-
dicious supervision, not prohibition or
denunciation. Most of the extraordl-
nary craving for pure sugar and can
dy, which is supposed to lead the
average child to inevitably founder
himself If left to his own sweet will
and a box of candy, is due to a state
of artificial and abnormal sugar star
walton, produced by an insufficient
amount Of this Invaluable food In its
regular diet.
Children who are given plenty of
sugar on their mush, bread and but
ter and puddings, a regular allowance
Of cake and plenty of sweet fruits are
almost free from this craze for candy,
this tendency to gorge themselves to
surfeit. and can usually be trusted
with both the candy box and the sugar
bowl.

KALEI0PU AND TIE AGRlCUL-
TURlL CHINAMAN.

4 member of the Legislature Of !
Hawaii has introduced a resolve that !
epitumizes his idea of how the ma
tive Hawaiian may gain more hnowl- |
edge Of practical agriculture.
The first response to this is low
attempt at ridicule from one who
obviously disgraces the Board " Re-
gents Of the College of Hawaii; and
the cropping legislator with the Ha-
waiian seeking more information in
agriculture are told to go to the
Chlnaman" and there they will get
all the information needed
Mr. Kaleiopu talks so much at
times that he often puts himself in
position to be attacked Justly.
What he evidently seeks is to get at
some scheme by which the informa-
tion our specialists and teachers are
storing up may be disseminated
among the people where 1t will do
more good. II he has approached
his subject in a somewhat clumsy
manner, he is no worse than many
| legislative member from the agricul-
l.. 1 districts, or the city for that
matter, of the mainland, when the
a, ricultural colleges We're first start
ed. and science first became more
morally applied to agriculture.
Mr.. Kaleiopus idea in this connec-
ton is well-meaning. Properly
worked out. 1t could be developed
along lines that would be of immense
benefit to the plain people of these
islands. the native Hawaiians young
and old.
In his own peculiar way, Mr.. Ka-
leiopu is getting at the scheme that
is carried out on the mainland of
practical agricultural demonstrations
by experts on the grounds of the
farmer as well as the college or la
boratory.
And II Kaleiopu wants the infor-
nation compiled by the experts to be
printed in Hawaiian. he is at least
making the very good suggestion
though he gets at 1t in Il roundabout
way-that the men who are work.
ing in agriculture in this Territory
shall so direct their work and put
their conclusions and suggestions in
such form that It can be under
stood and will help the people who
have to work for living and gain
, their sustenance from the soil
, The whole trend of scientific work
, in the States Is to popularize the in
, formation gained by the scientist
and spread 1t abroad among the peo-
pie; the scientific workers go out to
q the people as missionaries, so to
speak, in the cause of better crops
, and more Intelligent cultivation
And If Kaleiopu is clumsy he is still
100 per cent. more deserving and
will do more for the cause of educa'
tion than the grouchy individual who
e, responds to the man seeking fol
knowledge: 60 to the Chinaman
