Bible In japanese.

When the bible was translated into
Japanese an equivalent to the word
"baptize" could not be found, and the
word soak" had to be used instead.
So that Japanese biblical students
are acquainted with person named
John the Soaker," and with a doc
trine OF soaking for remission of
SINS" In that case the mistransla-
ton is due to inadequacy of language.
1t is oftener due to ignorance. A
schoolbcy once rendered "Miserere,
Domine!" into ooh, heart-broken

cred from German the text, "The spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh Is

MANY FAVOR TOULOUSE GEESE
More Compact In Shape Than Other
Breeds and Gander VIII Weigh
About Twenty Pounds.
(By GEORGE E. HOWARD.)

(By GEORGE E. HOWARD)
Toulouse geese are more compact In
shape than other geese, and are pre-
ferred by many for this reason. The
head is rather large and short, and
they have a comparatively short bill
that Is stout at the base; the neck Is
carried we'll up and Is Of medium
length. They have a broad back OF
moderate length, which curves slight
ly from the neck to the tail; their
breasts are broad and deep. The
body Of the Toulouse goose is mod
crate in length, broad, and very deep
and compact, the more compact the
better; and in birds in good condition
the belly almost touches the ground.
Their wings are large, strong and
fold nicely against the sides, and they
have comparatively short tails and
stout thighs and shanks. In color
of plumage they are a dull gray. The
head is gray and the neck dark blue
gray, which shades to lighter gray
as it approaches the back; the back
Is of dark gray, while the breast Is
light gray. The body plumage Is
light gray, which grows lighter and
becomes white on the belly; the white
extends back to and around the tail,
covering the fluffy parts. The pri-
maries of the wings are dark gray
or brown; the secondaries are shade
darker than the primaries, with very
narrow edging of lighter gray, and
the coverts are dark gray. The tail
feathers are gray and white, the ends

In Fourteen Years 1t Has Risen From
Ruins to Have population OF
Sixty Thousand and Stately

Fourteen years ago the present
capital Of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
was reduced by Lord Kitchener's
army to heap of uninhabited ruins.
Today Khartum Is one Of the most
important cities in Africa; with its
environs, 1t has over sixty thousand
inhabitants.
A beautiful esplanade runs for
miles along the bank of the Nile, on
which are many handsome stone and
brick buildings surrounded by gar
dens and groves Of palm trees. The
most interesting Of these are the
cathedral, consecrated last January,
the Gordon Memorial college, and the
governors palace.
There is direct railway and steam
ship connection with Europe, through
Cairo, a branch line to the Red Sea,

when he had done a particularly brill

French railways, and so complete
transcontinnental route to the Attain
tic. When the Cape to Carlo line Is
completed, Khartum will be the prin-
cipal railway center Of the continent.
The value Of its exports and I'M
ports increased in three years from
twelve million dollars to nearly
twenty-one million. 1t is the great
trade emporium and the educational
center of a country almost ten times
as large as Great Britain. In the
Gordon Memorial college students
are in training to become teachers In
vernacular schools, judges In district
courts, engineers or surveyors. There
is an industrial workshop, IN winch
smithwork and carpentry are taught.
The college also has research laDora-
ties, where economic products OF the
country and its diseases are studied.
The principal cause of this unexam-
pied growth is the position or khar-
tum. at the junction of the two great.
rivers that form the Egyptian Nile.
The Blue Nile rises in the noun
tains of Abyssinia, and Is the sole
source of the floods that are the life
Of Egypt. The White Nile takes Its
rise from the great lakes OF Central
Africa and the SHOWS of the tabled

Under a dispensation of peace and
order the rich natural resources Of the
country will be rapidly developed.
Much of the region is admirably
adapted to the raising Of cotton.
There are very extensive forests, cap
able of supplying, among other things,
the very valuable product, rubber.
The vast swamps on the White Nile
are to be drained and made culti-
vable. When all these things have
been accomplished, the newborn
Khartum will undoubtedly become
the leading city of Africa in wealth
and population, and in industrial and
educational activities.

Period of the Past.

The fashionable girls school of
atty years ago was most interest

writes Julia c. R. Dorr, in Harper's
Bazaar, my first thought is, how we all
studied! How eager we werei What
keen delight we took in constituting
an intricate sentence or in solving a
hard problem!" There were about
dfty scholars, or possibly seventy-five;
and among them was group Of eight
or ten bright young fellows who were
fitting for college; preparing to enter
as sophomores the coming autumn.
What an ambitious lot we were, to
be sure! I was the only girl In the
advanced Latin" and had the honor
of a seat on one end of long, mar
row recitation bench, little with

stars Of the first magnitude.
The problem Of coeducation had not
come up then. If girl wanted to
study with her brother and his
friends, she did it-and that was all
there was OF it. How We sought for
che derivation Of words. How we

Just one. I doubt very much If he
was a marvel Of learning, though
thought he was then. He was just
out of college himself, and he had had
no wide experience of books or men.
But he had the rare gift Of being able
to stimulate and inspire his scholars,
and kindle every latent spark of en-
thusiasm in their natures. Enthus-
iasm is a better word than ambition
in this connection. Study was joyful
labor done for the pure love Of 1t.
1t was its own end; not simply a
means to some other end.
The village academy Of that day

 Dear Sir:-In your inquiry of the 22nd, inst, regarding the result of tarvia on some of our boulevards, received and i'll answer wish to. state the following:
 The tarvia applied on Minnehaha avenue in October, 1907, gave very satisfactory results. The application was made under the most ideal con- ditiOns, tie new roadb9d being just right to receive the binder and the screenings used for covering being of excellent quality The surface Withstaod the traffic we'll and al- though the treatment has not yet been repeated, the roadbed is still in fairly good condition.
 "Thel 46th Street section of Kings Highway was similarly treated in September, 1908, but in place of us- ing stone screenings for covering we used fine pea gravel, which gave q pleasing color and a still better wearing surface.
 "The last piece of tarviating was on the new River Road, East from Franklin avenue, south to the city limits, where we also used pea gravel for dressing over the tarVia coating, with the same excellent re- suits. This road was finished in June 1910, and has been in constant use ever since by an immense amount of automobils' traffic. I hope to be able to treat this road again with tarvia next spring.

PAVEMENT FOR
 WEST FIFTH AVENUE
TAKYIA, GENERALLY FAVORED
 BY PROPERTY OWNERS, GIVES ,s GOOD SERVICE ELSEWHERE
Graphic Receives Letters From Var. ious Cities Regarding It-Conl.
 misSiOners Hold Up Contract

TGa commissioners bf the West
 Fifth avenue paving district are still undecided as to what pavement should be laid on their thoroughfare
 and tse board has not as yet let the contract for the work, nothwithstan- Ing the fact that the majority Ieti- ticn was made some weeks ago and everything is in readiness fer the improvement work outlined.
 The representatives of the various paving firms or rather firms that make a speciality of furnishing the paving material for big jobs in cities and towns. are still on the job and are working deteminedly to land the contract. Under the agreement made by the property owners of West Fifth avenue only $50 lot was to be paid by each property owner on West Fifth to carry out the needed improvement. As the property own- CTS along Fifth we're assessed for so many years for the old gravel str5st that has become worn and useless, they did not feel that the new improvement justified a large outlay of money. but, the object is to secure a good pavement at a mod era e cost and one that will be last ing.
 Many of the property owners have been advancing the idea of using iaryia on the street, which is said to be one of the most durable and satisfactory pavements that can bs secured at reasonable cost. One of thz commissioners, 1t is said. favar tarvia and many of the property owners are also in favor of the tar via pavement, but the other com missioners. have not been converted to its use as yet. This is said to be occasioned because of some misrep. resen, ations that have been made to them relative to the value of taryia a. a paving material.
 In crdef to enlighten the property owners the c.aphic has written to a number of public officials and others identified with paving work to ascer-. tain if tarvia has proven satisfac- tory in their towns and many favor able replies have been received.
 Among the replies iIslceived are some from engineers of various large cities and commissioners and other officials of large Isaving districts. who have used taryia with fine suc- cess. The entire board of commits. sioners of Minneapolis, Minn., has
