China and the rartars.

The Manchu Tartars, who conquered
the early Chinese, have left the impress
Of their former manner Of life upon
many styles seen today In Chinese lash
ions Of clothing. For instance, the ofn-
cial coats, as seen in China at the pres
ent time, are made with very peculiar
sleeves, shaped like horses leg and
ending in what Is an unmistakabls
hoof, completely covering the hand.
These are known as horseshoe sleeves.
This is owing to the intense love OF the
early Tartars for horses, from whom
they were practically inseparable dur.
ing their generations Of wild wander
ing before settling down In China prop
er. The old cue Is also said to have
been worn in imitation Of the horses
tail and also as a useful halter to tie
about the horse when the Tartar curled
up beside his beloved dumb friend for
a sleep,

The Department of Agriculture, at
Augusta, Maine, desires to call the
attention of manufacturers of apple
barrels and apple boxes to some pro.
visions Of the law, which they may find
useful to observe.
Chapter SO, Section 26, of the Revised
Statutes of 1915, reads a. follows:
Manufacturers of standard barrels
and boxes to be used In shipping apples
shall mark In Q conspic0us place, on
each barrel the words standard barrel
and on each box the words standard
box p"
Section 25, relating to the size of the
standard barrel and the standard box,
reads as follows: =.
"The standard barrel for apples shall
contain seven thousand cubic inches;
provided, however, that . barrel of the
following Dimensions when measured
without distention Of parts: length OF
stave, twenty eight and one-half inches;
diameter of head, seventeen and one
eighth inches; distance between heads.
twenty.six inches, circumference OF
bulge not less than sixty-four inches
outside measurement, shall be lawful
barrel. The standard bushel box for
apples shall contain two thousand three
hundred and fifty cubic inches; provided,
however, that boz eighteen inches by
eleven and one-hslf inches by ten and
one half inches, inside measurement,
without distention Of parts, shall be q
lawful bushel box"
The Department recommends that the
marking shall be placed on the side OF
the barrel, about half way between the
top and bottom, and shall be In plain,
good-sised letters.

Abolish Fahrenheit

There is a growing crusade against
the Fahrenheit thermometer used In all
English speaking countries, and the
plea is made that the Centigrade ther-
mometer be employed In Its place. The
Centigrade is used for nearly all scien-
tific purposes and is decidedly superior
to the Fahrenheit, but the latter is In
familiar use among the great mass Of
people who use heat measuring instru-
ments.
Practically all English speaking peo-
pie use the Fahrenheit scale, even with
all it's Inconvenience, and people who
imagine that they can effect a change
by an act Of congress reckon without
authority. Nothing is more difficult than
to change the established habits OF q
people, truth which will slowly dawn
upon the enthusiast who undertakes
to change the meteorology Of nation.

War and Human Nature.

Referring to the oft repeated claim
that there can be no such thing as uni
yersal peace, because war Is phase OF
human nature-that men always have
and always will fight, DR.. Frank Crane
thus speaks: WAR, human nature
Yes,Cas leprosy Is human nature, or tu-
berculosis, or epilepsy, or homicidal
madness! As demons in hell, In human
shape, are human beings" The Idea
that men Of sense will justify war be-
cause It is human nature would tit them
for the lunatic asylum. And then the
doctor goes on to say: "Give human ma
ture a chance. Let the people manage
their governments and war will speed
lily cease forever"
And that's true too. II Is despicable
the way some people will blame human
nature for war. BY that argument ev-
cry crime could be justified. - Ohio

How, the HorssAy Bite.

When a horseAy alights on q horse
be walks around looking for tender
spot, and this he finds with his hairy
feelers. Then he cuts hole with the
scissors on each side Of his central tu-
bular tongue.
An ordinary lead pencil cannot be
sharpened to a point without sharpen
Ing the lead. SO it is with the tubular
end Of this tongue-like extension Of the
horseay, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Nature has provided It with
barbed, piercing derrick ropes" The
fly inserts these sharp points into the
horse and then pulls back on them.
The barbs hold, and the fy's tongue is
forced down into the horses flesh. But
II the hole has already been made then
It is not necessary for these elaborate
tools to be taken from the sheath In
which they are placed within the
tongue or proboscis. The blood II

Inequality Of PunIshmsnt by Fine.

An anomaly In our jurisprudence.
limited, however. to the administration
Of criminal law, is the evil Of allowing
the purchase Of immunity from punish
ment, writes Franklin Taylor In Case
and Comment A penalty Is imposed
with the alternative Of paying q dne.
The rich man pays and goes free. The
poor man Is imprisoned for not having
the money. And even among tfpss
who can afford to thus purchase I'm.
munity the result is most unfair, be-
cause the punishment, instead Of be-
ing commensurate with the degree OF
the offense, meets its severity accord
ing to the size Of the defendants
pocketbook. To one man the amount
Is Of no consequence, Is not even a pun
ishment. To another, because Of his
lowly position, a similar amount may
mean weeks Of toll, hardship, prtvs.
tion and suffering to himself and his
dependents.

sian revolution was one Of the quickest
and least sanguinary on record. Six
days practically saw the end Of II,
whereas more than three years elapsed
between the storming Of the Bastille
and the proclamation Of the French re-
public. It took six days Of barricade
fighting In 1880 to persuade Charles x.
to abdicate, but Louis Philippe fed in
1s4s after only two. though the subse-
Quent state Of siege lasted four
months.
England was ten years IN establish

suflced to convince James II. that
French soil was healthier for him than
English. The Italian wars Of liberia
