The Japanese, like their brethren.

lect-that is quite different from the

they. do not as we, write as they speak.
This proceeding requires the printing
Of their journals in two languages, the
Kama" and the square characters serv-
ing as key to the other. These square
characters are modelled on Chinese
ideographs, tumble of geometric fig-
ures, crosses, ETC., presenting pictur-
esque zigzag effect
There are 1000 to 5000 of these ideo-
graphs In everyday use. The compost
tor must therefore be something OF a
scholar, in the oriental sense, to be
able to recognize the characters at
sight. In order to facilitate his task
as much as possible, the arrangement
of his workroom Is something like
this:
The compositor seats himself at a
little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters. AS he
receives copy he cuts 1t into small
strips. handing each strip to boy.
This boy marches along the room un.
til he has finally been able to collect
from a number of cases arranged in
files down the room the different ideo-
graphs desired. About six or seven
boys are thus employed in the average
japanese composing room running
hither and thither AS they go their
rounds in search of the ideographs

would certainly be very trying to the
nerves of any but an oriental
When the boys have collected ali
their ideographs they place them be

course to pair of goggles in order &c
decipher the characters, fish out the
corresponding types in the Kama
character, and finally set up the whole
for proving. The proofs are suns
aloud by one reader to another, thus
adding to the confusion of weirt
sounds already reigning in the room.

When one considers the frightful
consequences of gathering and eating
poisonous mushrooms in mistake for
the edible variety. 1t is little short Of
marvellous that one without knowledge
should dare go into the fields and
woods and pick and eat any Of the
fungi growing there.
If one is thoroughly familiar with
some particular variety of edible mush-
room, and can distinguish 1t at sight
from all others, however similar In
color and form, 1t is safe to eat that
particular variety; but one must be-
ware of other kinds that resemble 1t.
for however slight the difference in
appearance, one may be edible and the
other poisonous. There is no absolute
rule for distinguishing the edible from
the poisonous kinds, and 1t is better,
therefore, to give no general rules,
but TO follow only one: Suspect every
mushroom which you do not know
positively to be edible. To this rule,
perhaps, may be added a second:
Learn to distinguish the widespread
agarics and avoid them all; for al
though there is an edible species, 1t
requires an expert to tell 1t. and the
poison of another species is deadly,
and there is no known antidote for It..
The chief poisons in mushrooms are
two in number-muscarin and phallin.
The first of these produces symptoms
resembling those of alcoholic intoxica-
ton, followed by commissions or par
alysis, collapse, and death from heart
failure. These symptoms come ON soon
after the mushrooms have been eaten.
In poisoning by phallin the symp-
toms do not appear until several hours
after the meal. They resemble chol-
era, beginning with severe abdominal
pain, soon followed by vomiting. purg.
ing and collapse.
In all cases of mushroom-poisoning
vomiting should be induced as soon as
possible, and a large dose of castor
oil may be given to hasten the elm
nation of any as yet unabsorbed por-
lions of the mushroom.
Stimulants are needed to support
the heart, and milk containing an
abundance Of magnesia or bi-carbonatO
of sodium may be given.
Infections of salt solution into the
veins and-in case Of muscarin pol
soning-hypodermic injections Of afro
pin are often employed by physicians
with benefit.

that no such occasion at Harvard

how. Tradition again says that it was
given to President Holyoke by Rev
Ebenezer Turell, of Medford, a rela-
tive of the Mathers, who were among
New England's earliest settlers.
President Holyoke always believed
that the chair was brought from En-
gland by some member of the Mather
family.
Benjamin Pierce, one of Harvard's
historians, connects the chair with a
certain variety of furniture found in
the Cheshire district of England in the
last of the seventeenth and the begin,
ming of the eighteenth centuries.
Horace Walpole, England's great
statesman, wrote to friend, asking
him to get one of these curious chairs
from the Cheshire district. He de-
scribes them as being of wood, the
seat triangular, the back. arms and
legs loaded with turnery, and carved
and turned in the most uncouth and
whimsical forms"

Two Hinge Bull Moose In Battle for
Supremacy In Herd.
Battling to the death and making
the woods ring with their cries Of
anger and pain, two huge moose were
seen in a terrific struggle for suprem.
acy by Hans Nelderson, homestealer
residing about ten miles north of this
place.
While making his way through the
woods to Winton, Nelderson, suddenly
coming into a clearing, faced a huge
bull moose, head high in the air and
eyes blazing apparently with anger.
The homesteader thinking the animal
was angered by his approach, hur.
riedly sought refuge in tree. The
moose, however, paid little attention
to the man, and, after sending forth
numerous calls, turned about, and
Nelderson, following the animals gaze,
saw another moose of almost equal
pro ortions approaching.
The two animals faced each other
for a moment, as II hesitating as to
their course of action. Suddenly the
first moose attacked the other, and for
nearly half an hour Nelderson, in the
tree, witnessed probably the fiercest
struggle man has ever seen.
Fighting with antlers, hoofs and
teeth, the animals continued the con-
test until the first moose had been
defeated. Nelderson's admiration for
the vanquished king of the woods
nearly resulted in his sustaining seri.
Gus injury. When the moose which
came upon the scene last INDUCED in
unfair tactics, according to Nelder-
sons opinion, by planting his antlers
in his opponents breast when the lat
ter was down and out" the home
steader fired twice with rife OF
small caliber.
The wounds were only slight and the
conquering moose turned his attention
to the claim owner. Butting the small
tree violently, the animal nearly threw
Nelderson to the ground. AS 1t was.
the homesteader, holding on to the
tree trunk, for safety, roundly berated
himself for attempting to take part
In the battle. Finally, tired out from
Its exertions, the successful combat
ant trotted peacefully away. It waA
not, however, until some hours after
that Nelderson worked up sufficient
courage to drop to the ground and
make his way to Winton.-Duluth

Rice Planters Want Relief.

Southern planters of rice are much
dissatisfied with market conditions.
Methods of forcing prices to a more sat
|isfactory basis are under consideration
in the. South. Dan Talmage's Sons say
of the situation:
Rough rice for some time past has
been selling at prices which planters
claim to be less than cost of production,
and this grave situation threatens the
very life of the culture The planters
of Louisiana and Texas held a meeting
at Crowley December Is to discuss pros
poets of the rice market, and various
plans were suggested looking towards
relief. A proposition to dump 100000
pockets on foreign markets to conserve
value on remainder crop was voted
down. Reports indicate that they ia
vored an organization of planters to
buy up and market as needed, so per
cent of the crop on basis Of $3.50 for
best Japans and 1915 for best Hon
duras. This will give relief to needy
holders and prevent unnecessary sacri-
fee of rough to the detriment of gen
eral market values. 1t will be difficult
to remedy the evils consequent upon the
mistaken policy or lack of intelligence
displayed thus far this season. An
ounce of prevention earlier would have
been worth more than pound of cure
at present date. The situation certainly
demands intelligent handling on the
part of those vitality interested, and
planters, millers, dealers and bankers
should work together for the conserva-
ton of each of these important ele-
ments in the production and distribu-
ton of the CROP"
