Speed Of AutomobiIos.-The ease
with which an automobile is driven
causes the careless owner to forget
how ponderous, swift and dangerous
an instrument he Is guiding. He is
running a huge and complicated ma
chine frequently without the skill or
training that are demanded as prereq-
uisites for such occupations. A turn
of lever will increase the speed, but
unfortunately quick stop or change
of direction Is not equally easy. Be-
fore he knows 1t he Is running too
swift for the welfare of pedestrians.
This may occur without moments
consciousness of the risk. Moreover,
the occupant Of an easy-running, pow
erful car Is not aware Of the speed at
which he Is travelling. Good streets and
a fine spring above inflated tires con-
spire to make him overlook how mar
row often Is the escape Of a passerby.
A woman may be trembling for an
hour from her leap out Of the way,
although the rider himself may havs
laughed at 1t. In addition, all Of the
small discomforts are unshared in by
the occupants. The dust Is left be-
hind, and the odor never noticed. II
these things do attract his attention,
he judges of them only as the neces-
sary evils accompanying his hurried
passage But a pedestrian may have
to endure an almost continuous show
er of dust and a steady gust Of foul
smelling gas on the road or sitting in
the park.-Richmond Times Dispatch.

Bringing Up Children to Peace.-In
these days of boy scouts, military drill
war games and toys, and a general
strenuous, hat-in-ring, anti-mollycod-
die, knock-'em through -the-ropes at
mosphere in the nursery II Is interest
ing to note that the United States bu-
reau Of education has mapped out and
recommended a course Of peace and
good will for use In the public schools.
The final aim Of the course is to i'm
press the needlessness of war between
nations.
The child Is at first to be taught
kindness toward his companions and
his animal pets. Later he is to be in
structed in the desirability Of gentle
ness in the home, and Of kindness and
consideration in school and at play.
In the fourth grade 1t Is proposed to
teach the city relationships, in the
fifth Is to be given a view Of the ma
ton, in the sixth Is to be instruction
in the essentials Of unselfishness as
applied to good citizenship. In the
seventh and eighth grades is offered a
view Of world relationships Of the larg-
er brotherhood. and of the desirable
ity Of peace.
Such a course Of instruction is
broadly patriotic. 1t is distinctly at
variance with the traditional idea OF
cramming the pupils head full Of bat
tie stories even before he Is old enough
to understand the significance Of his
tory.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Gastonia Gazette, July 2: Mr.. j. r.
Henderson, one Of the county's best
farmers living near Union Presbyter-
ian church, south of Gastonia, had the
misfortune late last Thursday after
noon to lose two barns, two mules and
a quantity of roughness by lightning.
A bolt struck one of his barns about
seven o'clock during a heavy thunder
storm. The second barn stood within
a few feet of the one struck and both
were destroyed. Two fine mules were
killed. Mr.. Henderson had a small
amount of insurance.
Chester Reporter, July 2: Mr.. and
Mrs. T. T. Lucas have the sympathy
of friends in the death of their little
daughter, Sarah, which occurred Sat
urday about noon after a severe Ill
ness of about two weeks. The little
one was laid to rest yesterday AFTER
noon at Liberty graveyard. Tine
fire department was called out yester-
day at noon to extinguish q, small
blaze in the roof of the kitchen of Mr..

CHEATING tho Yeqqs.

Safe blowing is no longer either
popular or profitable for the 'yegg
who tries to pull off job in Wilmette'
This peculiar situation was SHOWN
when, following the visit of two pet
ermen" to the feed store of Frank Kut-
ton, 7O9 West Railroad avenue. Kut-
ton discovered he was a richer man
than he was before his safe was rob-
bed.
The men obtained so cents in pen.
nies and 80 cents In stamps. kutton
acquired two SIS horse blankets. which
the ''yeggs" thoughtlessly left behind
them.
Kutton attributes his luck to his
thoughtfulness for the comfort ol
visiting safe blowers. Several days be-
fore a safe in a neighboring store was
blown and ruined, while all the in
truders got was 23 cents. Taking his
cue from this, Kutton hung a card on
the door Of his safe, which read:
Dear Yegg: Don't waste your pow
der. The safe is unlocked. Help your
selves. You're welcome"
One night the yeggs broke into the
store through a small rear window
They read the sign and opened the
door. They took the pennies ane
stamps, and then, apparently not being
used to such courtesy and usually
being obliged to use blankets to dead
en- the sound of the ex )losion, they
left the store without taking their two
blankets with them.
On a card was scribbled in pencil.
Thanks, old pal. for your perlite'
ness, but no more Wilmette for us

How He Got lt.-When Phil Cross
started in as a boxer he had to side
step the wrath Of the mother of a
certain dark-haired little party down
on the East Side. The certain party
didn't care-in fact, she wanted her
hero to whip the world. But her
mommer said: "Boxfighting is no good
business"
The day after the battle Phil ap-
peared and carried along his brother
Sam-the same Sam who matched
Phil to meet Willie Beecher at the
New Star club Wednesday night. They
encountered the girls mother at the
door and Phil hung his head to hide
a cut over his right eye. But 1t was no
use.
$50 you have been boxfightins
again." said the girls mother.
.No." stammered Phil, Il didn't
get this cut fighting"
'Then how did you get it?' de-
manded his inquisitor.
Phil looked appealingly at Sam.
"He bit himself" said Sam.
Yes, that's how" affirmed Phil.
"What," shouted the woman. How
could he bite himself over the eye?"
"W-h-y. why-e-r he stood on
chair" said Sam.
The decision was awarded to Phii
and Sam on points.-New YORK Giooe'

A FoRMosAN PocEHoNTAs.
Japanese Counterpart Of Capt. John
Smith Tale.

Smith Tale.
A party Of Formosan aboriglnals OF
Taiyaru tribe, fifty-three In NUMBER
arrived at Moji on the 26th inst. on a
pleasure tour through Japan under the
guidance Of Japanese police lnspec-
tor from Formosa. They left MoJi for
Kobe on the same day at noon en- route
for Tokyo. Among these tourists there
is a young woman named Yayutsu, to
whom a romantic history attaches.
The story is wired to the Tokyo papers
from Moii and reads something as fol-
lows: .
Yayutsu is thirty years old and Is
exceedingly clever. She is pupil at
a school in .Formosa and is we'll skilled
in sewing, reading and writing. She
speaks Japanese fluently, and Is vers-
ed in the tea ceremony. flower ar
rangement and other womanly accom-
pHshments. Many years ago one Max
ano. a chemical merchant Of Kyoto,
crossed over to Formosa on business
During his stay in Formosa Mr.. Naka-
no often ventured into the depths OF
the forests in quest Of chemical plants,
and one day he was caught by the
savages, put under arrest and taken to
the house Of the savage chieftain. A
conference was held between the chief
and his followers to determine how the
Japanese captive should be treated,
s14 hof Qhnnln
be put to death.
Yayutsu was a daughter Of the chief
tain and was then in her sixteenth
year. She conceived a profound pity
for the prisoner, and earnestly inter-
ceded with her father for his release
The father was not to be prevailed
upon. He would, he said, lose face
with his clan If he should allow pater-
nal affection to interfere with the de-
cision of the tribal conference. The
girl was, however, determined to res
cue Nakano and tearfully supplicated
her father to set the victim free. The
savage chief was finally so deeply
touched by the tender appeals of his
beloved daughter that he finally sug-
gested that he should renounce her as
his daughter so that he might incur no
responsibility for her conduct even II
she were to elope with the prisoner.
The daughter seized the chance offer
ed her and expressed her resolve never
to return home, though she were de-
serted by the man she loved, unless in
deed she came home with his scalp.
Yayutsu and Nakano fled under cover
of night to Japanese settlement, were
married. and have ever since lived
happily together, Mr.. Nakano pursuing
his trade in Formosa.
A short time ago Mr.. Nakano was
taken i'll and came to Japan for the
sake of his health, leaving his wife in
Formosa. Yayutsu recently wrote a
letter to her husband requesting his
permission to visit Japan, so that she
might rejoin him and see the sights OF
Nippon. Mr.. Nakano cheerfully as
sented to her request, and so she is
now in Japan on her way to visit her
husband.-Japan Admirer.

Fake Medical Schools.-Dr. Henry
S. Prichett Of the Carnegie Found
alton Fund for the advancement OF
Teaching, in a recent report on "Medi-
cal Education in Europe says:
scandals in medical education exist
in America alone. In no foreign coun-
try is a medical school to be found
whose students do not learn anatomy
in the dissecting room and disease by
the study of sick people. 1t has re-
mained for the United States and Can
ada to confer annually the degree OF
doctor of medicine on and to admit to
practice hundreds who have learned
anatomy from quiz-compends, and
whose acquaintance with disease is de-
rived not from the study Of the sick,
but from the study Of textbooks. These
scandalous conditions are less wide
spread today than they were decade
ago; vet they are still to be found in
almost all sections of the country,
even in the most cultivated. The state
Of Massachusetts tolerates in the city
of Boston, the state of New York toll
crates in the city Of New York, the
state of Illinois tolerates in the city
of Chicago, the state of Missouri toll
crates in st. Louis, the state of Cali
fornia tolerates in San Francisco, So
called medical schools that pretend
to train doctors, despite the fact that
they are without adequate clinical
facilities In no European country is it
possible to find an educational farce
of this description. There, every
school has adequate clinical resources
under complete control. "If the lowest
terms on which a medical school can
exist abroad were applied to America
three -fourths of our existing medical
schools would be closed at once. And
| let me add, the remaining fourth
| would be easily and entirely adequate
to our need. Managers of feeble
medical enterprises in our country
| pretend that they are making great
sacrifices for the public good. This
| hypocritical pretense ought not to be
permitted longer to damage the public
| interest. No medical school that lacks
proper facilities has any other motive
than the selfish advantages Of those
that carry it on; and no civilized coun-
try except America at this day allows
such enterprises to impose upon the
Ipublic."

INCUBATOR IS AGES OLD.
Eayptians Past Masters in Artificial
Chicken Hatching.

In a lonely village lying In the midst
of dry Egyptian sands, chickens are
being incubated to-day just as In bibi-
cal times and on a scale and by a
method calculated to astonish Euro
pean and American poultry raisers
Eeernest Kellerstrass, a poultry ex-
pert of Kansas City, Mo-, recently WIS.,
tied one of these Egyptian incubators
"Of course" he said today to the
correspondent Of the Daily News, ut
Is known by all chicken fanciers that
incubation was carried on in Egypt In
ancient times. Personally, however, 1
did not dream that 1t was still being
carried on by the same archaic meth
cd. It was the porter Of a hotel In
Cairo, who, finding that was interest
ed in meeting the local egg mer-
chants, suggested that I might find an
incubator in some village.
A few days later a man came and In
formed me that he could conduct me
to a village where there was an incu-
bator. So we took train inland and
then after riding on mules for several
hours arrived at a village where, sure
enough, there was a thriving incubat-
or The proprietor was a tall, old
Arab.
1.-The incubator, like the house
which adjoined 1t, was built Of adobe
and shaped like a beehive. I entered
it by a small oval door. The place was
full of smoke, but 1 distinguished
within the great beehive six objects
resembling smaller beehives. There
were three on each side. Each Of
these was raised on table above the
floor and was pierced with a small
oval opening. These were the ovens.
They were supplied with heat from
circular fireplaces beneath, in which
straw and chaff were kept smoldering
without coming to q blaze. In each
oven there were no less than 5000
eggs. There was an open spot In the
center where one Of the children
chawled in to turn the eggs.
"One oven happened to be Matching
when I was there and it was a won
derful sight to see the chickens pop
ping out by the dozens. A boy inside
was busy clearing away the shells and
also gathering up handfuls of chickens
when dry and tossing them out on a
pile Of chaff. 1 was naturally aston
ished. The Arab assured me that his
ancestors had incubated in this manner
as far back as human memory reach
ed. We believe in America that an
incubator must have 103 degrees OF
heat. Here there are no thermome-
ters and the Arab said he gauged the
temperature by sticking his hand in
side. Using my thermometer, I found
that the temperature in the various
ovens ranged anywhere from sixty
seven to ninety eight degrees. This
upsets our theory.
II asked the Arab what per cent of
the eggs Matched out and he immed-
lately asked me the same question. l
replied that sometimes it was 80 to 40
percent and sometimes from 70 to 50
percent, whereupon the Arab laughed
and said that with him it was never
less than 80 per cent; otherwise he
would starve. He then explained that
he matches for forty neighbors for five
months in the year, beginning in Janu-
airy, getting 5000 eggs from each. He
