Japanese Pastime.

Combats between animals Of differ
ent species are source OF great
amusement among the Japanese. One
OF the most popular contests is that
between monkey and goose. The
monkey is tied to one of the goose's
legs, by means of cord and both
animals are set down near the bank
Of river. or pond. The goose, stand
ing in dread of the monkey, seeks for
safety in the water. and the monkey.
afraid of the water, exerts himself to
the uttermost not to be drawn into it.
AS rule. the goose draws the monkey
into the water, and then the cunning
simian sits astride of the goose, in
equestrian fashion. The goose then
tries to dive, and the monkey pre-
vents her II he can: and so the fight
goes on until the spectators tire, and
the animals are released from an un-
congenial companionship.

TIM sULLIvAN's LAND TAX
Big Politician Has Scheme to Reduce
Congestion In New York Tene-
ment Districts.

Big Tim Sullivan has been looking
about bit in his Bowery kingdom.
and as consequence the brainiest
man in Tammany has hammered out
land tax system, which he be-
lieves will reduce the congestion in
the tenement districts, New York
correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times-Star writes. People in my
district sleep three and four to the
ROOM" said he, land many of the
rooms have never had a ray of sun
light In them. They have to live
that way because the rent is so high.
The tenement owner who Is willing to
tear down his old building and put
up new one, with sunlight in every
window and a bath in every fiat, is
afraid to do SO, because he knows
that his taxes would go skailyhooting
up. The poor devils who rent his
fats would in the end pay for that
higher rate of taxation. Every eighth
child born in New York city dies be-
cause its mother has to go to work
or starve. At the same time there
are 10000 acres of good land lying
idle within the city limits
Therefore Sullivan has plan to cut
the taxes on improved real estate, and
increase the taxes on vacant prop
erty. He figures that owners would
have either to build on their land
which would relieve the downtown
congestion-or go to farming it,
which would indirectly have the same
effect. "a watch dog on a farm lives
better than many Of my constitu-
ents," he declares, land yet, after
an experience of a lifetime down
there, l have yet to find the equal
of the families on the streets near
the Bowery for industry and economy
and courage. Maybe my land tax plan
is Bowery political economy, as has
been charged. l like it all the better
for that fact. The Bowery has had to
put up with Fifth avenue political
economy for a good while

Education.

What is education? Emerson says
that the greatest teacher is not the
teacher who supplies the pupil with
the most facts, but the one in whose
presence the pupil becomes a better
person. The great secret of educa-
tion lies in respecting the wants of
the pupil. 1t is not for US to say what
another shall know or even do. That
part of the game Of life is chosen and
foreordained and the pupil alone holds
the key to his own needs. Emerson
begs US to respect the child. He re-
iterates his plea to respect and wait
and see the new product OF nature
develop. We are not to be too much
the pupils parent. We are not to be
too often in his solitude. We are to
let him alone. Give the pupil an op-
portunity to exercise and express his
every faculty. and then-hands of!

EASY ONE FOR PROPHET"
Congressman Coined Episram and
Stated Absolute Fact in One
Brief Word.

Congressman Homer Bulb of Ne
vada was famed in his day at Wash
ington as a raconteur and epigram-
matist. Whenever he sat down in the
lobby of the Dingle house, his head
quarters at the capital, he was sure
to gather about him in no time a group
of friends and acquaintances and to
convulse them over and over again
with his sallies.
One Of these, the butt of which was
Senator Montgomery Twell, is par
ticularly well remembered by the
Dingle's Old Guard
The senator entered the hotel one
evening looked long and solemnly at
the skies, which were cloudy and then
remarked 10 Congressman Bulb in a
tone Of railery:
We'll, Bulb, know you pride your
self on being a prophet. What sort
of day do you think we'll have to-
morrow"
"Wednesday" replied Congressman
Bulb.
Among those who heard him was
Col. Anthony Batherswyck, the civil
war veteran, who lost no time in tell
ing the quip all over Washington.

SPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM

Weapon Was Enough for
African Native.

When Mr.. Montague, the English
traveller. was in Africa, he gave to a
native an old single-barreled gun, and
the fellow was delighted. He put in
a small handful of powder, and about
a quarter of a newspaper on top Of
1t, and finally ball, and then rammed
the whole charge down. Then he de-
parted. In the evening he returned
with his face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. What have
you been doing?" asked the English
man, in amazement. The native sat
down on the ground and said, sorrow.

track of Glands, and followed it un-
til / found them feeding. l crept up
to one Of them. He was twenty yards
away. I rested the barrel Of the
gun on stone, placed the butt
against my nose, directed the muzzle
toward the Gland, and pulled the trig-
ger. / do not know what happened,
for I was blind and deaf for some
time, but when / came to / found my

The gun was beside me, my face was

it. Take it back. FAREWELL"
