The Hard Worked DipIOmatist

The Argonaut: Keeping the peace
between the Greeks and Turks in Cy-
prus is a task which calls forth high
degree of diplomacy and integrity.
Witness the difficult position of a po
lice official in Famagusta, who was
waited upon by a body of Greeks, ask
ing if they might have a procession the
following Tuesday. why do you wish
a procession?" he asked ITO COM
memorate the ever distressful taking
OF Constantinople by the inndei Turks" I"
was the mournful reply Half an hour
later a Turkish deputation called upon
the same official. Had they the permis-
sion Of his eXcellency to fire the can
mons the following Tuesday? why do
you wish to fire the cannonS?" he
asked. To celebrate the ever glorious
taking Of ConStantinople by the true
lovers of the prophet" they replied
After some consideration. he gave the
required permission to both parties. on
their solemn assurance that there
would be no infringement of law ana
order, and ii says much for the pres
tige of the British government that 20
heads Were broken when the rival eel
ebrations took place in due course.

Farm SmOk kehOuse Passing

Owensboro Ky) Inquirer: In the
good old days when the farmers cured
their meat with smoke from hickory
wood and preserved it in wood ashes.
which preserved it so that it could be
kept in excellent condition for a cen
tury, every farmer had a well filled
smokehouse. and not only had all the
meat he needed for home consumption,
but nice quantity to sell in the sum-
mer season, when meat prices were
highest and the demand was strong
est Not so today. The farm smoke
house has almost disappeared. The
farmer sells his hogs on foot and buys
his family supply from his grocer.
While he receives much higher price
for hogs than formerly, there has not
been the big increase in the price of
gross hogs that there has been in the
price of cured meats. Hence the far
mer loses money by discontinuing the
old custom of curing his own meats
and adopting the new one of buying e
the packing house products.

What Is Legal Tender.

Harper's Weekly: There are ten
kinds of money in circulation in our
country. Although "all money looks
alike" not all of it is legal tender;
and it is probable that the average
person is a bit hazy in his mind as
to just what constitutes legal tender"
Here is a list of the different kinds of
money with which American citizens
have to do:
Gold coins, standard silver dollars
subsidiary silver, gold certificates. sill
Yer certificates, treasury notes. United
States notes (greenbacks). national
bank notes. nickel coins and bronze
coins.
Some of the most impressive paper
currency included in this list is not
legal tender at all. AS for the minor
coins, they are legal tender in such in
significant amounts as would surpriS Sc
one If the fact was known. 1t may
be well, in this connection. to observe
that the term legal tender derives its
significance from the fact that in pay
ment of debt or obligation of any sort
it can be paid to the creditor ''in full
of all demands"
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which such
enormous quantities circulate every
where in this country, are not legal
tender. Silver dollars made be made in
payment to any amount, but half and
quarter dollars are legal tender to the
extent of SO only and nickel and cop
per coins only to the amount of %
cents.
Treasury notes of the act of 1890
are legal tender to their face value in
payment of all debts, public and pri-
Vate, unless in the contract stipulation
to the contrary is expressly made
In n precise sense, the United States
notes or greenbacks are legal tender
with the exception of duties on imports
and interest on the public debt. Prac-
tically, however, since the resumption
of specie payment in 1879 greenbacks
have been received freely and without
question by the government.
While the gold and silver certificates
are not legal tender as between indi-
viduals, both issues are receivable for
all government dues of whatever kind
In this respect they are legally more
acceptable than is the greenback
National bank notes, while not legal
tender, and not receivable for duties
on imports, may be paid by the govern
ment for salaries and in discharge of
terest dues and in redemption of the
national currency.
by special enactment, no foreign coin
of any denomination or kind is a legal
tender in the United States

A. We Journey On

Speak words of cheer; the path of life
Is hard at best.
II you can check a falling tear
Or give a zest
To homely tasks some toiling soul
Foorsooth must ply,
Deem it a favor you should give
Ungrudgingly.
Do deeds of love; some lonely heart
There is alway,
That you may gladden. with smile /;
And where the way
To tired feet that stumble oft,
Is rough and long,
That you may hearten with some word,
Some lift of song.
Our human hearts are all too prone
To hoard and hold
The priceless treasures they might give
Ere time grows old.
For, oh, the humblest life
Has power to do
Some Christlike act to bless and cheer
Fen I and you.

The Japanese Art Instinct

Arthur May Knapp in the Atlantic:
The opening of Japan has revealed to
the lovers of art another world of cul-
tured beauty bearing the impress Of
the same spirit of refinement, the same
delicacy of line, the same fidelity to
nature, and the same feeling of re-
straint which characterize the master
pieces of Hellenic art Quite true is
it. indeed, that those masterpieces have
not yet been surpassed or even
equaled; but in one respect, and that
the most important which can be
named, the Japanese have surpassed
the Greeks in the development of the
art instinct. in that with them it has
become the possession of a whole peo-
pie.
Possibly the Greeks may have been
endowed with such a universal instinct
for art production and art appreciation.
but certain it is that there is no other
nation today living in which artistic
taste and aptitude are more generally

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LOSES
SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES

Brawley News: Through a ruling
by the land department, the Southern
Pacific company is deprived of several
hundred acres of land hitherto be-
lieved to be the property of that cor
poration. This land is the excess
strip on the north side of the sections
owned by the railroad adjoining the
third standard parallel on the south.
These sections were surveyed as rail
road land, although containing about
80 acres more than $40, consisting of a
narrow strip on the north.
The land affected consists of the
railroad sections in Township IS south,
ranges Il, IS and IA east.
Being less than 10 chains wide, these
strips. comprising about so acres each,
may be purchased by the owners Of
the adjacent land before other dispo-
sition is made of it.

diffused than in Japan. Not only are
the commonest kitchen utensils mould
cd into forms of exquisite beauty by
Japanese artisans, but it is also very
unusual to find even a coolie who is
not in some way a capable artist. To
this So competent an authority as Pro
fessor Chamberlain bears testimony in
saying that it is to the common people
that the foreigner in Japan must go
for those lessons in proportion, fitness
and sobriety which Greece once knew
so well. Do you want flowers ar
ranged? ASK your house coolie to ar
range them. Is something wrong in
the laying out of your garden? Call

development of the art instinct among
the common people throughout the en-
