Foundation of japan.

Every Feb. IL is celebrated in Japan
the great annual festival of Kigenset-
su. the anniversary of the founda ton
of the empire by the first emperor, jim
mu Tenno, B. c. $50. The Japanese
reckon their present era as from this
date, and it was on Feb. IL, 1880, that
Mutsuhito. the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-frst of the dynasty, promulgated
the present constitution of the empire
of Japan, the fundamental principle of
which is clearly stated in its first ar
ticle, The empire of Japan shall be
reigned over and governed by line of
emperors uRbrolsen from ages eternal"
The organization of a parlia nlent took
place in 1890. which in the japanese
reckoning would be $3.50 from Jfmmu's
setting up his capital at KashiwarH, in
the province of Yamato. which is re
garded by Japanese historians as the

FIRST THINGS

The first divorce court in England
was instituted ffty-hve years ago to-
day, Jan. 16, 1853. The jurisdiction
of the ecclesiastical auth orities re-
specting divorce was abolished by this
act. The divorce and matrimonial
court consisted of three judges, and
the first body of this kind had as
members Lord Campbell, Chief Baron
Pollock and Sir Cresweu Creswen. At
the first sitting five marriages were
dissolved, and in its first year of exist
ence the court granted thirty-eight di-
vorces out of a total of 2S8 petitions
Up to the time of the esta blishm ent
of the court there had been in Eng
land. since the reformation, BIT di-
vorces granted by acts of parliament
Down to the passing of the divorce
act in 1858, the theory of English law
in regard to divorce was the same az
that of the Roman Catholic church.
although in practice this rule was not
strictly adhered to, and wealthy and
influential persons might, through
parIiam ent, secure freedom from gall
ing ties. The divorce act provided
that the wronged husband could be
released from his obligations to an
unfaithfuI spouse, but gave no such
recourse to an injured wife unless the
husbands adultery was aggravated by
other offenses. Divorce-Iaw reforms
have recently been widely discussed in
England, and a recent report on the
subject has been the subject of much
comment.

shetland Ponies In Mines.

While thousands of Shetland ponies
furnish amusement for the children of
England, just as they do for the boys
and girls of the United States, a much
larger number are used in the English
coal mines. The tunnels Of the Eng
nsh mines are not nearly SO large as
those of the mines in this country, and
1t is necessary to have very small po-
MES to draw the coal cars from the
pits. The only alternative would be
to enlarge the tunnels, a plan which
would entail too heavy an expense to
be even considered by the English
mine owners. The limit in height of
ponies used by the English miners is
forty three inches. They prefer to have
them not over thirty ight inches high,
low, stout, compact life fellows. In
the old days it was a common practice
for English miners to use mother po-
MES when they were not in a cond1-
ton to stand hard work. But a law
was passed some years ago prohibiting
the use of female ponies of any age in
the mines. Recently another law was
passed prohibiting the use of male pO-
MES that are not at least four years
old.-National StockLnan and Farmer.

WANT TO REDUCE
TARIFF ON BEER
BEVERAGE NOT ENTIRELY LUX
URY, NEW YORK IMPORTER
TELLS HOUSE COMMITTEE
HEARING DECIDEDLY MOIST.

Washington, Jan. 16-Sugar reffners,
beet sugar men, California vine pro-
dI1cers mineral water importers and
others descended in force upon the
house committee on ways and means
yesterday to fight out the tariff issue.
The net result of the hearing was
the ACQUISITION of a little new infor-
nation and the REPETITION of much da-
ia that has figured in hearings which
led UP to the previous tariff bills.
Nothing in the committees examI-
nation of the varying shades of Su-
gar rate views Indicated any weak
euing of the democratic tentative pla n
for presenting another free sugar Dill
for action by the house at the coming
extra session of congress.
Some of the leading men in the
sugar industry were present. Edward
H Atkins, the vice-president and act
ing head of the American Sugar re
fining company, proposed a moderate
reduction in the sugar traiff. Henry
T Oxnard of California, and a doz-
en- witnesses from California. Colora-
do, Montana, Wisconsin, Michisan
and other states were present to fight
for tariff protection for American beet
sugar interests. r. E. Milling OF

Gated another free sugar or a reduced
rate, while the Arbuck1e brothers of
Brooklyn, through William A. Jani-
son and the Federal Sugar refining
company, through r. C. Lowrey,
pleaded for the free sugar cause.
The California wine business was
pictured as in a depIorab1e condition
when the committee took up eched-
u1e, H wines, spirits and other bev-
erages. Former Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue John Y Yerkes con-
tended that whiskey was a necessity
but that imported wines were lux
ury and therefore should bear the
burden of tariff taxation.
Victor E. Whitlock, New York
importer, would not agree that beer
was entirely a luxury. He suggested
that the tariff on some well known
brews be cut from % cents a gallon
to is cents a gallon, its rate under the
Wilson tariff law, OF at least to not
more than 20 per cent, its assessment
under the Dingley law.

The Mills of the Gods.

The expression the mills of the
gods has been used in various forms.
According to "Bartlett's Quotations"
the first form of the saying is from
George Herbert's "JacuIa Pendentum'
and is as follows: Gods mill gr1nds
slow, but sure
In r. Won Logau's "Retributfon,"
translated by Longfel1ow, the senti-
ment appears as follows:
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet
they grind exceeding small
Though with patience he stands waiting,
with exaetness grinds he all.
This quotation will be found among
Poetic Aphorisms," by Longfellow,
translated by him from the ''Sinnge-
dichte'' of Friedrich Won Logan. The
first line of Won Logau's is said to
have been taken from the Greek
'+Oracu1a SibyIlina.'' VIII. IA, The

Hearing With Eyes and Fingers.


The modern method of teaching
deaf mutes is that known as the Bell
method of visible speech The charac
tiers of the alphabet on which this sys-
tenn is founded are intended TO reveal
to the eye the position of the vocal or
gans in the formation of any sound
which the human mouth can utter. Ar
ticuIa ton is learned by the deaf mute
as a set of movements and sensations
in the organs of speech. 1t is taught
by the pointing out to the pupil the po-
sf<ions of the lips, teeth and tongue in
pronouncil119 the vowels and conso-
nants by making him feel with his
hands all the percepdble movements
and vibrations of the throat and other
organs which are requisite for their
pronunciation and by using diagrams,
etc. He is then required to initiate
those positions and to force a quantity
of air from the lungs sufficien to pro
duce the sounds and is taught to read
the articula tons of others by Observ-
ing the position of the organs and the

Forest Reserve Land
For Farms
Open to Settlers
AUTHORITIES ARE PICKING
OUT TRACTS WITHOUT METAL
OR TIMBER

WASHINGTON, Feb.t2-(Special.) }
Protests from the West against the
locking up of so much OF the public
domain in forest reserves has been
needed at length and the forest service
is engaged in listing the lands in
these reserves that are more valu-
able for agriculture than for the tim
ber they carry, and it is said that
settlers will have an opportunity to
locate on them.
The land hunger of the people is
not assuaged, and with the rapid
shrinking of the available area of
desirable lands it is growing more
pronounced. In Oregon, for instance,
it is asserted the area in forest res
erves is equal to one-forth Of the en-
tire state. Even the forest service
has been led to see that this is too
much A great deal Of it is so SPAR
sley wooded that il isalmost humor-
ous to call it timber land at all.
The forestservicei preparing to have
what timber there is of value cut off
such lands so that they may be-
come agricultural. The service is
having the lands classified, and VIXEN
good farming has so little timber on
it that it is negligible, the settler
will be allowed to take it up as home
stead.
