Shark Stories.

A. shark is very tenacious of life, and Dr. Gunther. the ichthyologist. pointed out in one of his contributions to the literature of his subject that "w0unds affect fishes generally much less than higher vertebrates. A Greenland shark continues to feed while his head is pierced by harpOOn or by knife as long as the nervous center is not touched"
 A Norwegian antarctic explorer, H. J. Bull, gives startling word picture of a sharks tenacity of life. This man. eater was caught at the Iceland cod fishery. His liver. heart and internal arrangements were removed so as to put a period to his career. and the thus mutilated body was then cast into the sea. He simply gave leisurely wag of his tail and swan rapidly out of sight-Chambers' Journal.

FOXY LITTLE JAPAN.

Japan. with consummate cunning, always strikes while the iron is hot. Insistence on the part of Idaho, Ore gon or any other state in the union, upon anti-alien land laws aimed at the Japanese, might bring us into col lision with the little Colossus of the Orient" And moreover, Japan has twice made it's views known when Uncle Sam has had troubles of a seri- ous nature on hand.
 The present Japanese dissension has been averted or postponed by the wisdom of Idaho and Oregon iE talk ing no steps at this time that would emharrass the administration in hand ling the international problems.
 Just what has passed between To- kio and Washington on this subject is a matter of great secrecy. How over, something was disclosed by Secretary Lansing. He informed Sen ator Borah of Idaho that Tokyo felt tliat enactment of anti-alien legisia-
 
 pie to such an extent that they would demand a resort to arms. Borah mad said that he would not interfere with the egislature-and, in fact, approv- cd the anti-ailen bill, but later asked the legislation to withhold action.
 The leaders who had said the meas ure would be forced through irrespec- tive of the wishes of the admin,srra- tiOn agreed at the eleventh hour to comply with the wishes of the State department. Meanwhile the Oregon bill had already been withdraw at Salem.
 While the Japanese question has. perhaps, been temporarily settled, the underlying danger still exists The Japanese will never submit to being barred from any country as Aslatics. and such legislation will undoubtedly lead to war with this proud nation. The California controversy has never been settled. It is still a menace to the peaceful relations between the two countries. Moreover, it is plain that the West is going to insist, ard in the near future, upon anti-alien legislation. In which case the crisis is merely deferred.
 Here lies the danger of State sov- Creignty. Here is the danger arising from allowing states to abrogate tree ty rights between nations. It is just that states should enact laws to suit their needs, but it is unjust to this greet country to allow states to enact laws which produce friction with other nations. The case of Japan is but one of several. It is but matter of time until the match will be touch ed to the finder and the flames of war will sweep the country through legis- lators acting contrary to the treaty rights established by the law of na- tiOns.

His Own Shame.

Roberts mothers admonishings to her small son generally ended with the words. "I'd be ashamed of you if you did so and so." and the word ashamed therefore was constantly in his ears.
 One day after he had eaten up his lit- tie sisters candy his mother said to him:
 Robert, did you eat Dorothy's candy when told you not to?"
 "Yes, a'am." said Robert in a tone of triumph. "and I'm just as ashamed of myself as I can be, so you needn't be ashamed of me at all."-New York Post.

IDAHO IS 4 BIG STATE.
Larger Than All New England With
 msryia rsd Added.


 To those 6f us who remember Idaho in out school geographies as a small pink bloc;e shaped like an easy chair facing east, 1t may be of interest that this state, which in 1890 added the forty fifth star to the constellation of the flag, is nearly as large as Pennsyl- vania and Ohio combined and larger than the six New England states with Maryland included for good measure It is divided into thirty-three counties, the smallest of which is half as large as the state of Rhode Island and the largest greater than the combined area of Massachusetts and Delaware.
 Idaho covers an area of S3.SSS square miles, divided principally between the Rocky mountain region and the Co., lumbia plateau, only small part in in the great basin. In elevation above sea level the state ranges from 735 feet, at Lewiston, to 12,07S feet at the summit of Hyndman peak. It is drain ed mainly to the Columbia through the Snake river and its tributaries and has an annual rainfall of about seventeen inches. the range in a single year at different places being from six to thir weight inches.
 The industries of the state are chiefly agriculture. stock raising and mining. Hay. wheat, oats and potatoes are the principal crops A large area is culti- vated by irrigation. The mineral pro- duction includes gold, silver. copper. lead and zinc.-Geological Survey Bull letin

NOW that our reformers have prov ed that we are wasteful, shiftless, weak, inefficient and race of molly coddles, we would like to have some one step forward and speak good word for the American people. We must have some latent virtues as yet undiscovered by the pitiless light of publicity. We had always considered that we stacked up pretty well when compared with the people of oth er nations. Our athletes have cOpped the medals, our boats are the fastest. and our records have always been prett! good up to the present time.

It is a nonpafcil as remedy for human ills, the most po- tent force in---but list to what the committee on daylight saving has to Der of Commerce:
 The considerations supporting
 this proposal are psychological commercial and social. It will sUb- stitute a cool morning working hour for a warm afternoon hour Increased daylight in the hours of
 greatest fatigue will tend to lessen
 tuberculosis, will decidedly reduce
 eye strain, will increase personal
 efficiency and materially lessen in
 dustrial accidents. In cities the ad-
 vantage of having the evenings
 rush hour, when transportation fa-
 cilities are on, come in daylight,
 are apparent. The use of facilities
 for recreating would be tremen-
 dously increased. There would be
 large direct saving in expendi-
 lures for fuel and artificial light.
 Farmers will have an opportunity
 to market their produce earlier,
 thus offering it in better condition
 and gaining an hour of daylight for
 other work"
 And all this, dear reader, you can accomplish by khe simple expeditnt ot turning your alarm clock forward an hour-not getting up any earlier but stealing an hours march on Father Time nathless!
 A number of European countries. including Germany, Austria, Den mark, England. France, Italy, Hol- land, Norway, Portugal and Sweden adopted the system last summer by turning all clocks ahead one hour uniformly and it is urged that the scheme be tried in the United States from April 1 to December 1. Pres ident Wilson is in favor of the plan and that should satisfy the majority of Americans who are not satisfied with the way the United States is put together.
 B. Franklin once said that Early to bed and early to rise makes man healthy, wealthy and wise," but Ben was long on sayings and short on ac- tiOn. A man who has to arise now at 5 a. m. to get to work at z will not take kindly to the idea of getting up at because it is the continental system.

TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
He Admits He Can't Grasp His Wifs's
 ldeas of Economy.

Ioeao 0t Econ0mys
 T can understand" remarked the office philosopher to the visitor to his sanctum, most of the feminine traits and characteristics that puzzle the or dinary man. but when . woman be- gins to practice economy she leaves me dashed to the mast and qui:ering with helpless astonishment.
 "Of course. the whole sex is eco- nomical. You have to admit that. be- cause every woman says she is eco nomical. and no gentleman would un- dertake to dispute lady's statement at least. no gentleman of my acQuaint- ance would undertake to dispute it in his own house. What-to use a vul- gnrism-gets my goat is the method they employ.
 Take my wife, for example. When ever she tells me she is going to econo- mize I emit a single agonized shriek, and then leap for the tall timber. Her plan Is to think up whole lot of things she cannot possibly do without. and then do without them. By this device she saves at single stroke the cost of the entire list. Having thus accumulated a surplus. she naturally proceeds to spend it. and she is al- ways prepareG to prove she has saved much money in the process.
