Census Taking in China.

Two magistrates of Soochow,
China, saw trouble two weeks ago in
the towns to the south of Soochow.
The disturbances were caused by the
census takers.
The country people say that their
names are being taken for the build
ing of the new railways; that each
crosstie requires that a name be
placed beneath it and the person
whose name is thus used dies at once.
In one town five persons are said
to have died Immediately after their
names were taken The mob forced
one unfortunate magistrate to issue a
guarantee, stamped with his official
seal, that no one in this village would
die within ten years. NORTH China

Bias, not as we read The Scarlet
Letter 1t is the story of the life Of
a young man of a passionate race,
whose blood was tumultuous, whose
senses were alive and whose manners
were in keeping with those of the
South of Europe, and with men not
altogether unknown in the England
of the Prince Regent. 1t is not the
story of Sir Galahad, but the story Of
Tannhauser. But what story, what
poem, what an Odyssey it is!

wit, it will be remembered as long as

Vacation schools offer not a task,
but a privilege to those pupils who
attend, and that it is SO regarded ap-
plications and waiting lists show.
More would-be pupils apply than can
possibly be accommodated. Book
learning is not the mode at the vaca-
tion school, where the more social
method of oral instruction with DEM
onstration takes its place, since en-
tertainment as we'll as instruction is
the aim, and pupils are introduced to
a form Of knowledge which will give
them new resources for their leisure
hours. Instead of memorizing or por-
ing over figures the eager classes are
given manual training, cooking
classes, sewing, gymnastics, and, best
of all, are taken to the parks or the
country once week for nature study,

WAR CN THE MISTLETOE.
That Emblem OF Christmas Danger
to Tree Life.

to Tree Life.
The Department Of Agriculture has
declared war upon the mistletoe
Dough, declaring it a serious danger
to tree growth. A special investiga-
tion into the depredations Of the
mistletoe in this country has been
conducted by William T.. Bray, forest
pathologist, and the conclusions are
said 20 warrant general effort upon
the part of those interested in national
arborlCulture to eXterminate the pest.
The American mistletoe," said Mr..
Bray, ''is leafy, green, parasitic
shrub commonly found growing upon
various species of broad leaved trees
throughout the Southern States and
extending in more or less modified
forms across Texas, Southern New
Mexico and Arizona to Southern Cali
fornia and thence northward in the
coast region to Oregon and Washing
ton. Eastward its northern limit is
in New Jersey, Southern Pennsyl-
vania, Southern Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Missouri and Eastern Oklahoma.
Among people who see it rarely
and especially among those living in
Northern cities who purchase small
sprigs or punches Of 1t for Christmas
decoration the idea Of mistletoe being
a harmful parasite upon trees is quite
lost sight of. Nevertheless there are
localities in which mistletoe becomes
so abundant upon trees and so harm
full to them as to make the control
Of 1t or its determination serious
practical question"
Mr.. Bray has found that the mistle-
toe is a parasite which is invariably
destructive to its host. The habit of
the plant Is of course to draw susie
nance from the branch and in in
creasing quantity as the parasite in
creases in size. The immediate re-
sun is to starve that portion of the
branch lying beyond the point of in
fection, and while this part may per-
sist for a few years alive without
noticeable growth, in the end it dies
and the 1nistletoe thus comes to &C.
cupy the end of the branch. Some
very peculiar effects have been noted
by Mr.. Bray in regard to the action
of the mistletoe upon its host. For
example, at the point of attachment
the branch of the host is stimulated
to excessive growth, which gives rise
to grotesque deformities, these vary
ing in shape on different host species.
In the case OF the water oak, which is
peculiarly susceptible to the attacks
Of the mistletoe, both branch and
mistletoe are enlarged so as to re-
semble a clumsy piece of welding.
frequently, as in the Usage orange,
the branch is stimulated to an excess
sive formation of shoots, forming a
sort of witches broom, so called!
Large branches and not infreQuently
the main trunks Of trees may be
greatly deformed by the mistletoe.

BOOK MURDERER BANE
OF SECONDHAND STORES
RE Cuts Pictures and Chapters
From Rare volume es, Destroying
Their Value,

"Do you see that man with the
glasses and the anxious, nervous
movement of his hands as he
searches among the books?" asked
the proprietor of New York street
book store as he glanced at the Curl
GUS crowd of book lovers fumbling
the secondhand books on the coun-
ter outside.
Every craft has its criminals. He
is the criminal of the secondhand
book trade. No, he is not thief.
He is murderer, That term is a
definite, exact one.
Il can tell a murderer as soon as
he stops in front Of my stand. He
makes hurried glance along the
tables, picks out certain kind of a
book, generally an encyclopaedia or
a book of famous men, or compila.
ton, and buys it, Sometimes he will
pay exorbitant prices. You can tell
what to charge by the glance Of his
eye as in triumph it lights on the book
he covets.
"A murderer is a man or woman
who is interested in certain sort
of picture or clippings from books
about certain people. The most COM
mon murderer OF the old days was the
Napoleon Bonaparte murderer. The
collector of pictures of Napoleon
would search the secondhand book
stores till he found a book with a
picture of Napoleon and buy it, care
fully cut out the picture, thus 'mur.
dering' the book as perfect specimen
of special edition, and then sell the
book to some other store. In time
that book might prove to be the val
liable only copy of first edition. 1t
might be quoted at $500 The book
seller offers it for sale. The expert
looks it over and says, But the pic
ture of Napoleon, made by the famous
etcher Spookums, Is missing. 1t is
practically worthless. Then it is that
the book dealer curses the murderer.
Nowadays in America the mur-
derer is apt 10 be a man interested in
the Battle of Gettysburg or of the
Wilderness, or in the exodus Of the
Mormons or some other special OBJ
ject, have seen men pick up books
on the fifteen cent stand, look through
them, find some picture missing, and
urge me to find them a copy with the
picture intact They have offered me
hundreds of dollars sometimes for a
book have marked at fifteen cents
il I can replace a picture or chapter
that has been cut out by murderer"
