The contest between the Seminary

affair that the score would indicate.
AT the end of the second half the
score was tied, s to g. 1t was there
upon agreed to play five minutes more.
During this interval the crack Sem
mary forward, Herman Larson, exhib-
tied brilliant burst OF speed and shot
four field baskets in rapid succession,
sewing up the game. while the best the
Academy could do was to obtain a
single foul basket.
The College-CommerciaI game was
also an exciting affair. At the end of
the first half the score stood ? TO =.
Close guarding characterized the con.
test and kept the score down. In the
second half the score see-sawed back

Commercials leading. A few moments
before the final whistle blew the Col

CHINESE ARE POOR SOLDIERS
Aversion to Being Ordered 10 Ono o.
the Most Prominent Traits Of an
Oriental.

The Chinese is poor soldier. Not
that he is lacking in courage, for on
occasions he cheerfully sells himself
as substitute and goes willingly to
the executioner's ak in order to pro-
vide his parents with the small sum
necessary to support them through life.
writes H. H. Windsor in Popular Ne
chanics. The strength of an army is
IN teamwork, and here Is where he
fails on account of his aversion to be-
Ing ordered. This is found in his do
mestic and industrial work. A gener-
al line of policy or desired results can
be laid down and he will faithfully
work in accordance Herewith, but he
dislikes to be followed up through the
details of the work with frequent or
ders. He will produce excellent re-
sults-but they must be accomplished
In his own way. Hence the essence
of good militar1sm-prompt and un-
questioned obedience-comes in d.
rect conflict with his nature. and
makes him a poor soldier. However,
this trait is not entirely wanting in
other nationalities, as every business
man knows to his sorrow, and the diff
f1culty Of getting employees to do q
thing In the prescribed way is one Of
the constant anx1eties.

Force Of habit,

An attache at the statehouse has q
nose which slightly turns to the left,
and when asked why, replies it turns
that way from force of habit.
'Habit?" some one asked one day,
"how can a nose have a habit?"
'The nose didn't" was the reply,
"but did. When was boy my nose
naturally turned to the right It en-
barrassed me and was guyed about it
SO much that decided I would pull 1t
straight. So began to draw my left
hand across it in the hope I could
straighten it. The motion became a
habit. I did it when in school, in
church, and my mother said I did it
when asleep. Before I could stop the
habit had the end of my nose pulled
over to the other side, and I decided to
let it stay that way."-Ind1anapoli

Steam for the Soil,

For year or two past certain grow

lar vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with view to destroying insects and
slugs. It is reported that the plan
works very we'll for that purpose, but
the operation brought to light an un-
expected fact-namely, that the soil
thus treated increased greatly In fer
t1lity; so greatly, indeed, that the ordi.
nary amount of manure cannot be
used afterWard.
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced
by the steam, which kills the phago-
