a TURKISH CALENDAR.

The leaf Of an ordinary calendar in
the Leyau, as good scientific puzzle;
/ no one person in thousand can eN-
plain the mysterious scrolls and caba-
iusuc signs of the Turkish religious al
manac.
The~evcrgday calendar, however, is
not a joke. one Is confronted by five
dates and Subdivisions, containing in
formation about the sunrise and sun
set ard Turkish time. First there is
the date according TO the Turkish
financial year. then follows the date
according 20 the Hegira, afterWard we
have the date old style, then New
style, and finally according TO the He
brew reckoning, incidentally the Ar
men.ans and Bulgarians are informed
in spare corners, in their own Lam
guage. OF the day and month.
With a view to simplifying calcula-
tons and bringing about a uniformity
of reckoning in the matter of time,
that vice president OF the Senate,
Ghazi Ahmed Mouhtar Pasha, recent
ly introduced a bill recommending the
abolition OF the financial year and the
adoption Of the solar reckoning, ac-
cording To the Gregorian calendar, for
an purposes OF state, religion and
everyday life, the year to date from
the Heglra
The present Turkish religious year
is, roughly, ten days shorter than the
solar year, while the financial year,
being based on the Julian calendar,
gains a day every 400 years.
Unfortunately, however. the project
of Ghazi Ahmed Mouhtar Pasha fail
ed to obtain the support OF the gov
eminent. and has consequently been
shelved. Nevertheless, there is a gem
ara impression that 1t will not be long
before these proposals are revived
with more success, just as the intro
luction of Frank time, at first reject
I'd by the Senate, has nevertheless, !
practically ousted the Turkish time in |

LOWER SOUTH DAKOTA
EXPRESS RATES IN EFFECT
INJUNCTION DENIED COMPANIES AND
THEY ADOPT new RATES UN.
DER PROTEST.

The last session of the Legislature
passed law empowering the state
railroad commissioners to prepare
new and uniform schedule of ex-
press charges. expressly providing
that the new charges should not
exceed seventy per cent of the
lowest rates that were in force in
the state on the first of January,
1900. The railroad commissioners
promulgated their new schedule
some time ago and the express
companies asked for an injunction
in the United States court, but
this has been refused. The COM
panies have therefore accepted the
new schedule Of rates, only under
protest, however. and say they
will continue their fight against the
reduction.
The new rates start with a five
per cent reduction to points near
est the shipping point and reach
fifty per cent to points one hundred
miles distant. That is the great
est cut is in the long hauls. The
old rate for instance from Water
town to Aberdeen was seventy
cents per hundred pounds and the
charge under the new rates is just
half, or thirty-fve cents. From
WATERFOWL to Mitchell the old
rate was one dollar and ten cents
and the new rate is fifty cents,
We have inquired of the local
Wells Fargo agent as to the new
rates here bit at the time of the
writing Of this article he had not
received the new schedule. Judg-
ing, however. from the reductions
cited above, the rates from here to
any point in the state one hundred
miles distant or more, should be
just about cut in two. The re-
duction only applies to points
within the state, that is they will
not affect charges on interstate
business.

RATS ARE COSTLY vERMIN
Reports Show They Destroy Food and
Material Worth Over 81, Ooo, 900
Each Year In England.

The reports from various East
Anglican { England) districts of pro
posed immediate official action for
the destruction Of rats show that the
danger of an influx of the vermin to
the country surrounding the scene
of the original warfare in the Or
well peninsula has been fully real
lied.
From reports which the Incorpo-
rated Society for the Destruction Of
Vermin collected a little while ago
it was shown that in all parts of the
country the number of rats was in
creasing and their damage getting
worse.
"By way Of the throat of the rat,
it was stated, "there is a wastage Of
more than $75,o0o,0o0 worth Of
good food and material per annum. "
The conclusion reached was that
nothing short, Of concerted national
action would ever be able to solve the
rat problem.

MUST BE ABOVE REPRoAcH
Management Of Bank, to Command
Confidence, Needs Honesty and
Broad Financial knowledge.

Figures in bank statement mean
absolutely nothing unless the man.
agement of the institution is above
reproach. The average business man,
IN consulting bank statement,
would not imagine that loans, bonds,
securities and circulating notes
could be so easily juggled with. That
is, however, according to Chalmers
Lowell Pancoast, in The Worlds
Work, an easy matter if the officials
Of the bank are not honest. Chief
among the essentials Of a safe bank
Mr.. Pancoast mentions honesty and
wide experience in financial at
fairs. With either one of these quail
tiles lacking, the stability Of the in
stitution is greatly impaired. Natu-
rally, business man wants to deal
with a banker who has character, yet
at the same time he does not have
confidence in an honest banker un-
less the man also has wide expert
ence in financial affairs. Honesty
and a broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; banker
must be partner to business man
in every way possible.

EXAMINATION IN FLoccIno.

Quoting from Student Life in
the Middle Ages" a paper recently
read by G. D. Burns Of Bradford,
we learn that in the taking up of a
degree in grammar at some of the
universities the prospective school
master had to provide himself with a
birch and boy, and as part of his
examination he had to administer a
fogging to the boy in public, the
boy being given a groat for his serv-
ices. A large part of the education
lay in debate between the boys, under
the supervision of the master, the
method bringing out the boys rea-
soning powers instead of merely
examining them with facts, as is too
often the method of today.-Univer-
sity Correspondent.

MAY Use WATERSOF OLD
MUDDY FOR IRRIGATION
NOW Being CLAIMED THAT MANY ACRES
OFLAND ALONG MISSOURI CAN
Be MADE FERTILE.

The county commissioners of
Sulley. Hughes and Stanley coun-
ties are having preliminary SUR
vey made to determine if it is not
practicable to water a portion of
the lands adjoining the river in
those counties by means of irriga-
ton. The survey is being made at
what is known as Little Bend on
the river. 1t appears that Doane
Robinson, state historian. is the
man who has had most to do with
agitating the matter. 1t is claimed
by those in favor of the project
that great many thousand acres
of splendid land along the river
bottom can be made into a great
and sure crop region by proper ir-
rigation.
The Stock Growers News, pub
lished at Fort Pierre, is authority
for the statement that no less than
IS sections of good land lying
along the Missouri in Stanley
county alone can be successfully
irrigated by small plants put in by
the man Of ordinary means. The
News also goes on to say that "a
sections in that county lie along
the Cheyenne river, 81 on the Bad
and 48 on the White river, making
a total of 10000 acres.
If you will examine your map
you will see that FIVE rivers flow
into the Missouri from a nearly due
west direction, all of which at sea-
sons OF the year carry large vol
umes of water. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that along these rivers
and their tributaries many a
parched acre in a year like the
present, could be made to blossom
as the rose.
