ANTHONY sCHOes CLOSES.

Anthony school, with Miss Gladys
Moody as teacher, closed on May 5,
after a most successful years work.
Attendance increased and remained
good through the term. The school
building is old and entirely inadequate
to the needs Of this section of the coun-
ty. Something should be done to i'm
prove the situation before the August
term begins.
Miss Moody, by her winning person
ality, her rare culture and conscien-
tious work has left lasting impress
sion on the whole neighborhood. Her
pupils in spite Of being greatly crowd
ed and with only the simplest of equip
ment, did work which would be cred
liable in any school, the walls of the
shabby, tiny little school room being
lined with specimens of work in
drawing writing, history, geography,
and mathematics, and also being dec
GRATED tastefully with eyergreens

Fans of France.

At the time that Louis XIV was king
of France fan making had reached,
perhaps, it's highest point. It has not
gone backward since then, but surely
no fans could be made more exquisite
than were those of the days of the
glcry of Versailles.
Du Barry and Nine. de Pompadour,
the two most persistent favorites Of
Louis XIV, were both very fond of
fans, and many are the stories told of
their extravaganza in buying them
or, at least, ordering them, for the
king had to pay for them. One that
was chosen by Nine. de Pompadour
took nine years in the making. It was
made of paper cut like fine point lace,
and the sticks bore medallions so tiny
but withal perfect-that they could
only be made out by the aid of very
powerful microscope.

port such as Is Hankow, but it has
number of big Industrial institutions,
among them q wooden mill, cotton

Will Be Busiest Place in China. ,
Northeast of Wuchang, in the obtuse
angle formed by the junction of the
Han and Yangtse Kiang, is situated the
port, or "mart" of Hankow, designed
to be the busiest place in Chira as soon
as the three cities merge into Greater
Hankow. Hanyang takes it's name
from the tNO rivers, Han and Yangtse
Kiang. In Hanyang lies most Of Great
er Hankow's claim to distinction as an
active Industrial center.
Here is located the Hanyang iron
works founded by the late Chang Chin
tung. These huge works own their
own ore and coal fields located near
by. Rails for China's roads used to

come from the Hanyang mills. An
arms factory is also located at Han
yang, and many thousands Of Chinese
are employed there under the direc-
ton of skilled foreigners.
For ali practical purposes Hanyang
may be considered as merely forming
a. suburb of HankOw. The construc-
hn II n n
river will probably not be practicable,
owing to the sudden and great changes
in the height Of the water level. 1t is
therefore proposed to facilitate COM
munication between the two cities by
means Of transporter, and when this
continuance is completed the three riv-
| err towns will practically be welded into
one, forming Greater HankoW.
Hankow is the strategic center for
China's system Of railroads. Its riv-
ers arc continually chOked with traffic.
Hitherto the only wharves available
have been in the foreign concessions in
HankOw proper. No intercommunica-
ton was hitherto possible between the
three cities, all within Il stones throw,
and aggregating 100000 people.
When Hankow was burned during
the revolution, the citizens began to
rebuild along the old, insanitary lines.
It was this woeful inclination on the
part Of the people which made the gov
eminent step in and borrow money
with which to rebuild on approved
lines which will make Hanlow what
nature designed it to be, the greatest
| industrial city in Asia. Ocean-goinS
! vessels may lie at dock in Hankow 6Oo
miles from salt water, almost as far
| inland as Chicago is from the Atlantic.

The gift Of Imagination appears tc

architecture of the beaver is clever
and ingenious, but the work of one
beaver differs only from that of his
fellow in the shape and nature Of the
wood at their respective command.
The cells of a honeycomb, beautiful
and automatically correct as they
are, differ in no particular from those
in every other bees construction.
Every village boy knows that ona
thrush's nest is repeated, character

saiG that money was no inducement
to part with any Of his lands; he really
wanted more than he possessed, but
none Of his neighbors would sell their
properties.
In the extreme northern section or
the Countrywide Gran Chaco region
largely unexplored-I made the ac-
quaintance Of another gentleman OF
landed estates. He, too, owned many
thousands of acres, but unlike the
southern estancia, this area was al
most a virgin wilderness. "Wiu you
sell me a small portion of your land-
a few hundred acres?" l inquired.
"No," was the response, Il am keeping
the land for my children. When rail-
road is builded in this direction land
values will increase, and my Children
will reap the benefits
In visiting the marvellous vineyards
of the Mendoza region, where the Gull
tivation of the grape has almost
reached perfection, I asked a similar
question. The reply was, in effect,
that few vineyards are for sale at a
price that could be called reasonable.
These three practical Illustrations
show the time-honored tendency OF the
wealthy Argentinean to retain his pos
sessions, and if possible increase rath-
er than diminish their area, which IN.
many cases has been handed down
through families for generations.
Since the plowman and the me-
chanic have almost banished the low
ing herd and the picturesque cowboy
from our western plains, the young
American who loves life in the open
and it's dash of recklessness occasion'
ally seeks the newer field In the far
southland. Some have found work rid
ing Ger the Argentine pampas but, gen.
orally speaking, life on the pampa is
gradually losing it's former wild attrac-
tons. Furthermore, the wages paid
the ordinary cowpuncher are rarely
over $50 or $40 per month the natives
perform this labor and in many ways
are as efficient or more SO than the
North American.
Travelling over Argentina impresses
the visitor with the vastness Of things
in general the range, the level pampa,
the stock, the lonely cot, the far-dis-
tant horizon. He sees how the possess
sion of vast estates and the revenue
therefrom makes it possible for the
owner to live in ease and delegate the
active management of affairs to others.
Even if the rich owner maintains a
home on the pampa he is almost GER
tain to have a more palatial residence
in Buenos Aires, the Mecca for the
great majority Of Argentines. Fur
thermore, the wealthy ranchman or
planter seeks still wider fields Of diver
sion; with his family and servants he
makes frequent and prolonged visits
to Europe.

Making Baskets.

Little children in the Philippines
make baskets, and if you have ever
happened to examine any of their work
manship, you will see how perfect it is.
and wonder how such tiny children, as
some Of them are, could weave the bas-
kets so perfectly. The little children
in this country have begun to do some
work of that sort with raffia, but they
do not equal the children of the islands
in designing and making baskets.
These are Of all shapes, and it is said
that no two are alike, and yet the de-
sign is so perfect that it can be meas
ured in any part. The government
agent gathers up the baskets and pays
the children who make them, and then
they are sold in this country.
