The japanese have the art of dwarf

people take great delight in their min

gardener to keep them down to de-
sired limits A Japanese garden Is
generally about ten yards square, and
in this small space is found a park

houses, temples, trees, all complete

available.
One such garden shows a lake four
feet long and full of goldfish. On
the border stands a pine tree exactly
eighteen inches high and fifty years
old. Beneath it's shade is a temple

some two and a half feet stands a fine

INTERNATIONAL CONFER
ENCE ON THE NEGRO.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
April II, Ia and Ie, 1914.

For some years past I have had in
mind to invite here from different
parts of the world-from Europe, At
rica, the West Indies and North and
South America-persons who are ac-
lively interested or directly engaged
as missionaries, or otherwise, in the
work that is going on in Africa and
elsewhere for the education and up
building of Negro peoples.
For this purpose it has been deter
mined to hold at TuSkegee Institute,
Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, April II, IS and 10, 1912, a
little more than a year from this time,
an international conference on the
Negro. Such a conference as this
will offer the opportunity for those
engaged in any kind of service in At
rica, or the countries above mention
ed, TO become more intimately ac-
quainted with the work and the prob
l. lens of Africa and these other coun-
tries. Such meeting will be valua-
BILE and helpful, also, in so far as it
will give opportunity for general in
terchange of ideas in organizing and
systematizing the work of education
of the native peoples in Africa and
elsewhere and the preparation Of
teachers for that work Wider knowl-
edge of the work that each is doing
should open means Of cooperation
that do not now exist.
The object of calling this confer
ence at Tuskegee Institute is to at
ford an opportunity for studying the

GAVE Farm AWAY.
Turns Home over 10 stranger.

The following item of news appeared
in Mondays Philadelphia Record, and is
given for what it is worth;
Newark, Del. May 2S.-For several
days Newark has been Mecca for young
married men who are willing to have a
farm thrust upon them, almost free Of
cost. They have come here from all
directions in answer to the following adj
vertisement, which appeared in a Will
mington daily and Newark weekly paper:
Free Gift-The undersigned, owing 10
his advanced age, has decided to give
free his farm to a young or middle aged
married man. To any one seeking good
home, close to railroads and churches
this is an opportunity. The party, living
alone has decided to change his residence
and has no use for the farm.
The advertisement contained instruc-
tons for answers to be addressed to box
numbers in care of the papers. The
donor of the free farm turned out to be
Charles w. White, a contractor and
builder, as well as stock breeder and
farmer. The farm consists of 90 acres
and is situated in Cecil county. Md,
about three miles south OF here. Out OF
several hundred persons who answered
the advertisement. White has selected DIR.
Oliver T. Gray, young physician living
at No. 2228 Market street, Wilmington. as
the man to whom he will give the farm.
1t is reported that it will be occupied by
DR.. Gray's father, Rev. ]. w. Gray. a
member of the Wilmington Methodist
Conference, living at Bethel, Md.
White selected large number out OF
the hundreds of answers that he received
and invited the writer's to visit him at his
farm. They came to Newark by train
and from here were driven to the White
farm by local liveryman, who was kept
busy all day Saturday hauling prospective
farmers to the Promised Land" The
farm is near Chestnut Hill, rich farming
district and has been well cared for.
The only condition is that the new
owner will have to assume mortgage OF
$4,000. There is no indication of this
mortgage being foreclosed, providing
interest be kept ups and the farm with
the buildings on it is thought to be worth
$1,000. White has lived there about ~
years.

In the land. They were the first Amer

fore the Spaniards, before the Indians.
They were the unknown people who
lived in the United States SO long ago
that their name Is utterly lost. In the
southwest old tribes Of Indians like
the Zunis and Navajos know nothing
Of them save by vaguest tradition
The Pimas and Papagos of southern
Arizona, who occupy part Of the land
that once was theirs, know that an
other race possessed the country long
ago. More they cannot tell. They
and their fathers for hundreds Of
years have seen what we gee-the
scanty remnants Of ancient villages.
For the inhabitants Of the villages
they have no name except the Hobo
kam-that is, the unknown"
The modern archaeologist describes
the implements and pottery Of the
Hohokam. He cannot do much more,
for their houses are laid low. Except
in few places. such as the ruins Of
Casa Grande, near the CHA river, the
very walls have vanished. Casa
Grande itself may be the work Of a
people later than the main body Of the
Hohokam. We can never know the
whole story. Yet little by little we
may learn its chief facts. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full OF
ruins unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within mile
of them. They are so nearly obliterat-
ed that there seems at first sight little
to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon-
structing the past. Geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode Of life which
must prevail. especially among print
tive peoples. under given conditions Of
physical environment. II we can cor
rectly picture the geographic environ
ment of the Hohokam we may learn
much Of the history Of our earliest fell
low countrymen.- Ellsworth Hunting
