Japanese Pocket Stoves

THE kwaro is placed in the clothing and
the fuel put up in sausage form, the
whole looking something like a metal
cigar case. The pocket brazier is used by
railroad travellers and delicate school
children. Aged people sleep with the
kwairo at their feet. Cramps or collie are
soothed by placing the little strange in
strument across the pit Of the stomach.
In the Russo-Japanese War many be-
numbed japanese soldier saved himself By
placing a kwairo in his bosom. Immense
quantities have been ordered by Russia
during the present war. French mission
aries introduced the pocket-stoye into
France.
The fuel now used was invented in 1882
by Sokichi Yamazaki, of the province Of
Shimotsuke. The annual output by the
trust company which bought the inventors
patent exceeds 100000 yen.
The packing and transportation of the
fuel, which is sold at a very popular price,
requires very careful attention. IL is put
up in specially prepared paper bags.

Men and women in America went about for
two years with the grave responsibility OF
decision always confronting them. Gradu-

faith of the world was justified. The sword
Of Standish and Washington and Lincoln was
drawn. with no misgiving and no Boosting on
the side OF truth and humanity. In the flash
of that great national purpose all the sins
and shams and extrayagant follies that free

as readily as the factory worker with his
manhood for the sake of his serf brother

that the first peoples voice to be heard speak

has heartened up the whole world. The gage

THE Right Hon. ". F. Massey Prime
Minister of New Zealand, draws
William Pitt into the limeight of
contemporary affairs by the discovery that
this celebrated English statesman enun-
ciated. during the Napoleonic wars, mill
tary aims for Great Britain which quite
adequately cover those which Great Brit
ain is to-day striving to attain. Mr..
Massey says, in The Pail Mall G>zette':
Amid the storm and strain of prolonged
conflict, when the supreme object we are con
tending for is apt 10 be blurred and obscured
and our zeal to give way to lassitude, it is
desirable at times to pause and ask ourselves:
For what are we fighting? To have always in
mind a clear view Of our ultimate purpose is
essential. especially in an intense, yet pro-
tracted. struggle like the present, in order
that our actions may be concentrated on def
mite ends. our resolve strengthened. our
hearts fired with greater determination and
enthusiasm.
History furnishes striking illustration Of
my meaning After England had been en-
gagged for several years it, the costly struggle
against Napoleon, and while Europe was be-
ing deluged with blood, Pitt was challenged
by an opponent one of the pactsts Of the
day-to define in sentence the object OF

A PLETHORA OF LAWS.

The Alaskan legislature has start ed out like many other legislatures with the idea that the duties of that honorable body are to make as many and as onerous laws as possible. there by earning the appreciation of their constituents.
 The number of bills that have glid- ed into the legislative hopper to date is an augury that the Territory will be surfeited with legislation long before the time for this law-making body to adjourn. Every Solon apparently has a sheaf of bills to introduce, which he believes the country is suffering for, and he will labor consistently and earnestly to spread them across the eternal statutes, that his name may go down to posterity in the archives at Juneau.
 It is a great misfortune that chlo- rOfOrm is not freely used in the placing of the white mans burden of new bills. We have too many laws. Far too many laws for the good of the country. The unconquerable am bition that seems to spring eternal iJ' the legislative breast to regulate something or somebody is mainly "e- sponsible for this plethora of legis- latiOn.
 The plaint that We have too many laws has been the text of countless speeches and written articles, but the Justinians and the Solons have heed ed it not; nor can be expect them to Go so while the privilege of making laws runs parallel to the right of free speech It is human weakness which can never be overcome unless some legal Archimedes finds the secret in an inspiration.
 And then, perhaps, the world will join in paen of thanksgiving at be ing relieved of a plethora of laws: nine-tenths of which are useless and only cumber the statute books for the purpose of giving some addle-pated legislator a little cheap notoriety.

 A census of the unemployed was taken recently in the city of Buenos Aires and showed that 10,075 had i'm scribed their names as being without work.

JAP POTATO KING
 SHIPS TUBEkS FAST

STOCKTON, March 15.-Stung by the criticism of those who declare that potatoes are hoarded in ware houses while the people are forced to pay exhorbitant prices, George Shima, the Japanese potato king" made good his threat to ship potatoes to Chicago and New York by start ing fourteen car loads eastward thIs morning: Shima said:
 "Why should I sell to people who complain?", asked Shima. Chicago people are glad to pay 75 cents more in freight per sack to get potatoes and New York is glad to pay SIPS more. If the California people don't want them, there are plenty of others who will buy. The people of this State ought to feel glad that there gre some potatoes stored here. If there were none stored we would have a potato famine. If the con sumption of potatoes were normal, the supply on hand would not be suf- ficient to last California but short time.
 Did the people complain in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1915 when the po- tato growers lost money? No. they complain only when the supply is scarce and the demand makes prices high
 The potatoes were shipped in pap CT lined cars to prevent freezing.
