Sunday evening after returning from
church Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Curtis
heard commotion in the back yard
and an investigation disclosed the fact
that great horned owl was just pre-.
pairing to make meal of young
chicken that had been roosting near
the house. Mrs. Curtis carried light
that so blinded the owl that he did not
fly when approached and when Mr..
Curtis kicked him away from the
chicken he simply flew upon the porch
and sat there. Thinking to capture
him alive Mr.. Curtis picked up a box
and just as he was in the act of turn
ing it over the owl it spread its wings
and flew away. That an owl should be
tempted to come into the center OF
town to hunt food shows that rabbits
and other small game that travel about
at night is very scarce. The owl is a
wise bird and knows that at the par.

and afterwards speeding on it's raiding

Fifteen enemy vessels were cap

capture was a tremendous risk, for,
without communication with home, the

The Daily Story
State Message-By Esther vandeveer.

Carl" said the hereditary prince OF
Auretanla to his chum, Count krakou-
sky, "the diplomats have got up
match between the Princess Alexia or
Metropolis and myself. They consider
it a fine political deal for me when
come to the throne That's all very
well, but | don't propose to tie myself
down for life to a Gorgon. wish you

"If you find her a Jezebel hope you
will. However, I'll have you watched.
I wish you to take young man with
you named Caspar Audenreid. He'll
Join you at Metropolia.'
The count saw nothing Of Audenreid
till having been accorded an interview
with the princess. AS he was about to
enter the palace a man accosted him
and showed him letter from Prince
Otto announcing that he was Caspar
Audenreid. and they went In together.
They were received by maid Of hon
or, who told them that the princess
would receive them presently. In the
meantime the maid Of honor did what
she could to entertain them.
When the princess came in Count
Carl, who was saving what he had to
say for the princess, was looking out
through window. leaving the maid of
honor to .Audenreid. Carl approached
the royal lady with great impressment,
bowed very low, kissed the tips of her
fingers and told her that his master
had sent him to assure her Of the hap
piness he anticipated in their approach
ing union. The princess received the
messenger graciously and proposed
that they should walk in the royal
gardens.
The maid of honor rose to follow her
mistress, but the latter gave her by
look a command to remain away. The
count and the princess proceeded to
the gardens, where her royal highness
led him to a bower and, motioning
him to a seat beside her, asked him to
tell her all about the man she expected
to marry. Was he tall or short, a
blond or a brunette, handsome OF
homely, witty or dull? Indeed, she
fired questions at him so fast that be
could not find opportunity to reply tc
them all.
But while she was talking Of the
prince she seemed to be thinking OF
the count, now throwing her eyes al
his, now taking them suddenly away
only to turn them back again. 1t was
not long before Carl began to think
that his threat to rob his master OF
the princess heart might be carried
out. He could certainly say truthful
ly that the lady was very attractive
person. At any rate, she was so to
krakousky.

The Perennial Tonic.

Now is the time to purify your
blood. That is Cif you hibernated, as
everybody did generation ago. Our
fathers required spring tonics be-
cause the hard winters in those days
left the system pretty weak. Their
mothers had no use at all for night
air, and ten nights in a barroom was
nothing at all compared with hun
dred nights in the old time bedroom,
with the windows nailed shut and
Memberships tackled on the casing.
The blood requires purifying and
the system needs a tonic-whatever
that may be-in summer, fall and
winter. Oh, yes, we mustn't forget the
spring Why, sure enough, it as a
spring tonic" isn't it? No one wants
summer tonic or a fall tonic or a
winter tonic.
Just what tonic is, we do not pre-
tend to know. though we have pre-
scribed few barrels of tonics, at the
behest of confiding patients. If tonic
is something the system needs, some
thing to restore depraved body to
normal conditions, we can recon-
mend one for general consumption,
that is the for the general consumer.
But the great trouble with our tonics
and things is that they can't be bottled
and taken from spoon. Good medi-
cine is often hard to take. The for
mula is as follows:
Put on your low-heeled, thick-soled
shoes, leave off your goloshes, throw
out your chest and pin a note on the
door saying: Gone to call on nature.
Back soon with more pep. Then turn
your face toward the sun and hit I'D
a brisk, swinging pace Walk until
you begin to feel tired, then back
home again. Make it at least two
miles, and every day, rain or shine.
Walking in the rain is the most en-
joyable experience imaginable, if you
are doing it from deliberate choice.
Every wife who loves her husband
should take this tonic, no matter
about her work. Every husband who
reciprocates the obligation needs such
tonic to keep his efficiency at par.
Every maid needs it to preserve the
suppleness of her muscles and the
softness OF her skin. In fact every one
is invited to try it.
When the doctor, OF his own Volt
ton, calls your treatment tonic"
take it. He knows what he means
but II II Is case of choosing your
own you will find mile or two of
oxygen more satisfactory than any OF
the perennial connections displayed
by our friend the druggist to corral

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the AS
ISOLATED Press Never in her history
has Japan met with such a period of
material prosperity as today. This is
entirely due to the war. The entente
allies have been buying great quanti-
ties of war supplies since the begin
ming of the conflict and more orders
are being placed constantly. Money is
literally pouring into the country in
such quantities that there is actually
plethora of it. Money has become so
cheap that bankers have begun to COM
plain.
The first great call upon Japan has
been made and will continue to
be made by Russia. The exports to
Russia have realized several hundred
million yen. They include not alone
military equipment and supplies such
as guns, rifles and ammunition, but
huge quantities of cloth, many hun
dred thousands of pairs Of boots,
| leather pouches, caps, sashes, food
products and medical supplies. Even
rice is exported to Russia to be made
into cruel for wounded soldiers and of
the medical expectation a notable item
| is tincture of iodine.
| Another great channel in which
Japan is finding prosperity is through
her shipping. Her big merchant ma
rine is not only transporting supplies
/ for the entente powers but so far as
the orient is concerned has practically
taken over at an immense profit the
sea transportation which is held in
time of peace by the vessels of Great
Britain. Freight charges to all points
including the United States have
scared and japanese shipping COM
panies have recently petitioned the de-
partment Of communications to sane
| ton further increase in tariffs.
France is at present seeking either
| TO charter or purchase ten or dozen
steamships. but suitable vessels are
scarce. The prices are almost limitless
in their elevation. The extent to which
steamers have risen in value may be
instanced by recent incident at Kobe
! The owner of a steamship, the charter
for which had just expired who had
| been receiving about $4,000 a month
for his vessel received an offer of char
ter at the rate of $37 1000 per month
The extraordinary demand for hulls is
inducing japanese shipyards to work
day and night but they cannot hope to
approach the demand
The year 1915 was exceptional in
japanese trade but this year is expect
ed to prove still more remarkable
Last year the total exports amounted
to about $3.50, 100000 and the imports
to about 1866 100000 The total trade
was S6l6,000 900. Compared with the
preceding year the figures show an in
crease OF about $5S,000.000 on exports

ELIOT ON EDUCATION.

Aspects of American educational
methods which he considers seriously
defective are outlined by DR.. Charles
w. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward university, in a pamphlet written
sby him for the general education
board. To correct 'glaring defcien-
scies" in secondary schools, Doctor
Elliot urges cultivation of the percep-
Etive power through laboratory work,
manual training and more attention to
sthe study of music and drawing.
Americas secondary schools" DR..
5Eliot says, pay little attention to
training of the senses and provide
small opportunities for acquiring any
skill of the eye, ear or hand, or any
acquaintance with the accurate re-
ecording and cautious reasoning which
modern science prescribes.
In respect TO the training Of their
senses, children Of we'll to do parents
nowadays are often worse off than
The children of the poor, because
they are not called upon to perform
services In the household or on the
farm which give practice in accurate
observation and manual dexterity.
THE training of the senses should
always have been prime object in
human education at every stage from
primary to professional The prime
object 1t has never been, and is not
today.
The kind of education the modern
world has inherited from ancient times
was based chiefly on literature AS
result the program of secondary
schools in the United States allotted
only an Insignificant part of school
time to the cultivation Of the per-
ceptive power through music and
drawing, and, until lately, boys and
girls in secondary schools did not have
their attention directed TO the fine arts
by any outside or voluntary organiza-
tions.
THE reason that medicine and
surgery have within twenty-five
years made such astonishing prog
ress is that the practitioner, possess
ing senses and mental habits of
naturalist, has been supplied through
the progress OF biological, chemical
and physical science with wonderful
new means Of accurate diagnosis.
What already has been done in
medical education needs to be done
in all other forms Of education, wheth-

er for trades or for professions,
whether .or occupations chiefly man
ual or for those chiefly mental.
The changes which ought to be
made Immediately in the programs
of American secondary schools in
order TO correct the glazing def
ciencies Of the present program, are,
chiefly: The introduction of more
hand, ear and eye work-such as
drawing, carpentry. turning, music,
sewing and cooking, and the giving
of much more time to the sciences of
observation chemistry, physics, BIZ
ology and geography-not political
but geographical and ethnographical
geography"

What Some Horses Said.

(From Our Dumb Animals" Magazine)
This is what some horses said to
their masters at the close of the days
work:
Jim-Good master, there is sore on
my hip. I cannot see it, but when the
line rests on it, or the whip hits it, it
gives me great pain. Will you please
see what causes it and try to cure it?
1t may be from a nail in the floor.
Would you also give me little thick
er bedding? Then try me without the
whip. A few more oats and little
less work will do more than the whip.
White Face-My master, why did
you strike me on my face today when
my feed-bag fell off? l did not get
half my dinner, and was it my fault or
yours that it was not properly fasten-
ed on?
Ned-When l was frightened almost
to death yesterday and tried to escape,
which is just what you would have
done in such fright, did it make me
less frightened to be whipped, and
yelled at, and cursed for it? You
only made it harder for me, when a
kind, gentle word and a soothing
touch of your hand would have quiet
ed me and made me feel that you were
my friend and would have saved me
from danger. Why, my master, did
you not give them?
Dick-I do not like to complain, but
if on a cold winter morning you would
warm the bits before putting them il
my mouth, l should feel much more
comfortable. / once knew a master

Sidelights on the European War

nails of foreign trade in Japan. BY
CHANGING over the trade returns for the
last 10 years, it will be found that with
the exception of 1906 and 1909, when
exports owing to greatly reduced i'm
ports were in excess by S2,4S5,O00 and
by $9,456,000 respectively, the balance
of trade for the remaining eight years
shows an excess of imports ranging
from $2,317 900 to S4S,4S50 900. In 1914
the outbreak of the war diminished
the volume OF trade, especially that OF
imports. This explains the fact that
in that year the excess of imports over
exports amounted to only $2,317,00O as
compared with S4S,4S5, 600 recorded for
1913 and with $46,000,000 for 1912.
With the continuation of the war last
year importations' still further dimin-
ished while a remarkable increase was
noted in the export trade. The mar
kets in India, South America and other
places previously taking German and
Austrian goods demanded japanese
substitutes for goods which no longer
came out from Europe All this COM
| bined to create a new record in ex-
ports, while the difficulty OF Europe in
sending its goods abroad continued to
a decrease of imports into Japan.
One result of all this is that Japan,
which before the war had come to feel
apprehension for the stability o. Its
