Goats, MIX is Favored.

Everyone who is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows of the value
of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-one of the first points about the
milk asa.- that "A,
u writer. The goat is practically f1ee
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports of the bureau of animal
industry (U. s., covering federal In
spection Of animals slaughtered for
food, there were inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive,
519,617 goats, Of which not single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor of the
milk of the goat. The cream globules
of the milk Of the goat are smaller
than those of cows milk, and because
of this milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained In more per-
feet state Of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor Of ster-
ilized milk Is that authorities agree II
is actually more easily digested than
Is the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.

Field crops Of Canada.

The census and statistics office has
issued Its preliminary estimate of the
total value of the field crops Of Can
ada for the past year, as compared
with the finally revised estimates OF
1916 and 1915. The estimated values
for 1917 represent the prices received
by farmers and are calculated from
current market quotations. According
to this preliminary estimate, the total
value of all field crops for 1917 Is
placed Mt S1,0S0, ,6S7,000, as compared
with $3.50, ,494, 900 in 1916 and SS25.SIO,-
600 in 1915. The items making up this
total are as follows: Wheat, S451,-
$4,000: oats, $23G, ,142 900; hay, clover,
and alfalfa, S145,501 600; potatoes
SSl ,355,OOO;. other grain crops, Sl34,-
00G,700, and root and fodder crops,
S40,07i,700.
In the year 1916 the crops were

old BLOCK PRINTS
Invention Is Credited to the Chi
nese in Year 592.
Books Not In Competition With Manu-
scripts Until the Middle Of the
Tenth Century.

Printing from blocks Is said to have
been invented in China in 592 A. D.,
during the enlightened reign Of Yank
Chen, the founder of the progressive
but short-lived Sui dynasty. Printed
books, however, asserts Il writer in the
Oriental News and Comment, did not
compete with manuscripts until the
middle of the tenth century. From tl..,t
time block printing developed very rT?-
Idly, resulting in q great cheapenlng
and wide diffusion of books and tA1
consequent rapid decline of the co.iy-
lists trade. No doubt the rapid dis
semination of learning this entailed
had much to do with the great intel
lectual progress made in China during.
the Sung dynasty, from 960 to 1880 A.
D., which has been called the "pro-
tracted Augustan age Of Chinese litera-
fure."
Disregardlng the manuscript works
of the great Tang dynasty (618-907 A.
d., which were doubtless tenfold more
numerous and more important than the
contemperaneous literary works of the
whole western world, the printed books
of the Sung Yuan and the early part
of the Ming dynasties up to the middle
Of the fifteenth century have no cOun-
terpart at all in Europe. They existed
in countless thousands Of volumes. In
14O6 the Imperial Ming library con-
tanned printed works to the extent Of
more than 100000 chuan (books) and
more than twice as many manuscripts,
and already many printed works of the
Sung dynasty had been lost during the
disorders incident to the prOtracted
wars with the Mohgols. Undoubtedly
more books were printed in China than
In all the rest Of the world up to the
middle Of the seventeenth or the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century.
The great bulk of Chinese works,
aside from the Confuclan classics, Is
historical or literary, the latter being
mostly essays, short poems, or crl.
tiques. There exists also vast Bud
dhlstic literature and very many Tao.
ist works.
Novels are not even classed as lit
erature, although famous ones exist
and some Of them have been translated
into European languages. There are
also many famous dramas, some dating
from the Yuan dynasty, but these, too
are excluded from literature proper by
Chinese photographers. The historical
records of the Chinese are Of vast bull
and represent conscientious ant
palnstaking record Of the political ant
sociological experiences of the oldes
civilized nation on earth. In close con
nection with these records proper w
should consider the vast number o
geographic treatlses and especially tn
so-called gazetteers. These latter ar

HAVE kYYE1iTE FOR PRAISE
Everybody Graves Words of Approval
and omment-Effect Of the Time
Iy Kind Attention.

1t Is human frailty to want praise.
We begin young to crave the approx
ing notice of others. "There Is none
like to me-" says the cub in the pride
Of his earliest kill. "But the jungle Is
large, and the cub he Is small let him
think and be still" Children brought
up in school can generally be told
from those who have been trained SOL
itarlly, says a writer In the Philadel-
phla Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, selflshness
and cOncelt. They do not find their
schoolmates in frame Of mind to put
them on n pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods on wheels
they are lost to sight in the shuttle Of
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrily.
Children Of larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw an audience
by harping on the theme Of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind Of recital is likely to- be limited
to the performer. To knock the "P
out Of ones conversation is not neces-
sarily to make 1t interesting. Many
times narrative loses greatly in plth
and pungency by the impersonality in
which it is couched.. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense Of the
first-hand participation Of the narrator
in the incidents lie describes. When
the first person Is introduced for the
sake of the edifcatiOn Of the reader,
there need be no apology; when it Is
introduced for the glorlficntion Of the
speaker, 1t is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can, whether lie is praised for 1t or
not. The taste of publicity Is likely to
be what the taste of blood, Is to tiger
or lion; 1t whets the desire for more
OF the same thing. There are some
who rarely do u good deed without
rushing to nelghbor or newspaper to
let 1t be known. To others the "free
advertising" is abhOrrent. They are
made happy by a glowing conscious
ness that the right thing was done, and
that auto-satisfaction Of virtue is their
reward. But most Of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle whereon
we can abide serenely independent OF
what others think or say. We want Il
kind word. now and then to keep us
going. We hunger for appreciation
even when we tell ourselves we are
not worth 1t. Who has not known the
lift letter Of encouragement a sen
tence of commendation, has brought
The day is brighter for it, and we fee
refreshed, renewed. Blessed are they
who speak in time the heartening
quickenlng word.

AntIquity of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to 80 years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, 1t was
thought that Jerusalem was Of little
Importance us a city until 1t became
the "Clty Of David" king of Israel.
But with the discovery of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem 20
the Pharaoh Of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century b. @. The name Of
this king Of Jerusalem was Abd-hlba,
or, as some scholars read the cunel-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him TO send SOL
dlers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

Aiding the Armenians.

In the news. columns will be
found an account of the meeting
to raise funds for the Armenians.

believe that this is a time for
sermons. A time for earnest,
forcful sermons from the pulpit;
a time for truthful lay sermons
from all press-writers; a time
when the daily life of every man
and woman should be a living
sermon. Christianity is being
tried out in the furnace. The
Great Refiner is separating the
dross from the silver in the cru
chile of war. You must go into
the crucible to come out as refin-
ed metal or be consumed as dross
according to your merit. Chris
tianity will emerge from the fire
strengthened, refined and purifi-
ed, and, freed from worldliness,
will permeate the lives of the peo-
pie in all nations.
