Ido,sSyy as It Ia.

After months spent i'll idolatrous lands
[ have been unable to see much real
worship in heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues in
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists III
heather temples IS very small.
Sometimes a bereayed mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib of a departed little
one and tie it to the statue of Jizo, the
God of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes of wood
eli god and then rub his own in the
nope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his affrighted soul. In some
ilaces Buddhist services are as digni
fieu, as well attended and as helpful as
our own In Hakodate / attended a
buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less of idolatry and more of morals
than some ceremonials in our cruel

Makinq q Garden.

A garden should not be considered
as piece of wild nature nor plants re-
carded as architectural ornaments, Tor
one must not do violence to the other.
Above all must there be harmony.
Otherwise the builder has labored In
vain. for he has not made picture
that artists care to reproduce.
In garden building never initiate ma
ture With intent to deceive, but where
natural beauty already exists make
use of it and add to it. Banks to be
restrained often have large outcrop-
ping rocks Make use of them even
if the remainder of the wall is OF dis
tinctly different material. Merely as
siSt nature.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
The People Themselves Are to Blame
IL They Do Not Have It.
g Magazine


The story is told that ut the time
Massachusetts was considering the
ratification of the federal constitu-
ton Samuel Adams. the noble pioneer
of American independence. was waver-
ing in his support. The mechanics and
workingmen of Boston called meet
ing at the old Green Dragon tavern
and passed resolutions earnestly urg-
ing that the constitution be ratified
and adopted Those resolutions they
put into the hands of a brass founder
to be delivered to Mr.. Adams.
How many were present when
these resolutions were adopted?" ask
ed Adams.
More. sir. than the Green Dragon
would hold" said the sturdy mechanic.
and where We're the restf
I'm the street." replied the brass
founder.
That casts significant side light on
that crucial period when we were en-
gagged in the task of bringing strength
out of feebleness and order out Of
chaos by establishing national gov
crnment. What could be more inter-
csting than to see the mechanics or
Boston solemnly considering and dis
cussing the most remarkable dOcu-
ment, us it has been called, that any
body of men ever put forth? The
same serious and constant considera-
ton of matters of public concern by
the same class of people is essential
to every hour of the existence Of the
government,
1t is time that the responsibility for
bad men in office, for 'ipvisible gov
ernmcnt" for venal and corrupt prac-
tees in public servants, be put upon
those whose neglect of duty enables
evil influences to control the election.
The better element is always In the
majority in every community and can
always control the situation If 1t de-
sires to do so When things get insup-
portably bad and the people are thor
oughly aroused. how quickly are de-
sirable changes brought about! But
when the people seem to have disposed
of the particular condition that thus
arouses them they fall back into
state of indifference and let the SIMS
ter influences have the field again.
Truly. eternal vigilance is the price
of good government We cannot find
or enjoy it through any other means.
Our blessed old republic was not franz
ed for laggarGs or towards. but Tor

ways alive to the duties and obliga-
lions that rest upon them as Citizens

The Broken Broker.

The late Judge Pennypacker Of Phil

reimbursement OF woman. but he also
advocated justice in the relationship
between the sexes for man.
Woman" he said whimsically one
day at the Pennsylvania Historical So
ciety, mustn't play it both ways. She
mustn't get the vote and the equal
wage through mans sense of equity
and then get all kinds of unfair privi-
leges through his &HnSe of gallantry.

Bees and Fruit.

An agricultural society OF Florence,
Italy, has recently carried out thor.
ough investigation of the alleged in
jury of fruit by bees and has com.
pleteiy exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin Of the
fruit, and it is only incidentally that
they suck the juices Of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
is due TO poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps. vine moths and other ia
sects Instead of being harmful tC
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service of efecting the
cross pollination of flowers, and hence
the setting of fruit as well as the de-
structiOn of damaged fruits especially
grapes by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals
The orchards and vineyards frequented

Have You a Dodge Miniature?

There are today very large number
of homes in America where the most
treasured possession is small old fash
toned miniature. painted some time be-
tween the years 1928 and 1870, most
likely, and which bears in tiny. unos-
tentatious lettering the name of the
artist. j Dodge" If the miniature
be that of bona fde ancestor and not
that of the bought variety its posses
sion is better than d. A. r. pin, for
in practically every instance it is all
the proof necessary that the family an
cestor was somebody. For the artist
who painted these pictures did the
most mastery work. and his patrons
represented the statesmen and lead
ers of their time. Henry Clay, An

There is prOverb much heard now

OF, The pot can't call the kettle black"
Why not. we should like to know? The

with confidence about the faults Of the
Kettle than the pot. which has for years
hung on the same crane and inhaled
the same smoke? If there Is anything
that would make the pot seem less
sooty in our eyes it is giving Us clear
reflection of the image of the kettle.

mEourth of July" In March.

Fireworks on independence day are
denied the children and grown folks
Of Alaska for the simple reason that
the July nights are almost as light as
the days, and it does not pay to at
tempt pyrotechnic displays if there is
no darkness to show them off by con-
trast. Consequently it has become the
custom in many Alaskan cities, includ-
ing Fairbanks. to hold a Fourth of July
celebration on March 4, when the
nights are still very long. Then there
is abundant opportunity for displaying
fireworks of every variety.

plantations are largely controlled by

which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised i'll Mexico
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in

of these islands, but local conditions
