the Turkish empire. vassal state

and governed nominaily by a heredi-
tary yassal prince. II was governed
under the treaty OF l841, which the
powers forced upon the sublime porte
md its victorious rebel governor Of
Egypt, Mehemet Ali. BY this treaty
the western powers obtained their first
foothold in the land of the Pharaohs.
Mehemet Ali was Turkish officer
who first went to Egypt in 1899 as
commander of the forces. He did so
well in restoring order there that in
1905 the sultan appointed him gov
ernor. But Ali found his government
constantly threatened by the famous
Mamelukes, a cavalry corps Of the
Egyptian army consisting of the de-
scendants Of those Mingrellan, Turk

Khan to the Egyptian sultan in the
thirteenth century who, uniting in re-

TREATY OF SHlMONOSEKI, 1895
New Power Arise. in the Japan Declares War on China

The western nations woke up TO the
fact that a great power had appeared
In the East when In 1884 Japan de-
clared war on the vast empire OF
China and speedily brought 1t to its
knees. The realization that naval
and military power of the first class
had come into being on the western
shores of the Pacific was not pleas
ant one and caused a great fluttering
among the "chancelleries" of Europe
and was not viewed without concern
in the United States.
1t was because of her war with
China and her subsequent war with
Russia that japan occupies the posi-
ton she does today among the nations.
The treaty of Shimonosekl and the
treaty of Portsmouth placed her
among the leading nations of the
world. The war between China and
Japan arose over the affairs of Korea.
In the olden days Korea had paid
tribute TO Japan and after the aboli-
ton of the Shogunate in 1868 and the
coming Of the Mikado into his own,
repeated demands were made upon
the Koreans for a continuation OF this
tribute. Chinese and japanese in
trigued at the Korean court for the
predomlnatlng influence in the land of
the morning calm and transformed II
into a land which knew no calm.
Japan Alleged Infraction.
In June of 1894 a Chinese army was
sent into Korea for the ostensible pur-
pose Of putting down rebellion which
threatened the Korean king. Japan
declared this to be an infraction Of
the treaty between herself and China
made in 1885. and dispatched japan
csc army which occupied the Korean
capital and its port of Chemulpo. and
fortified the route connecting the two
cities. Somehow the rebellion disap-
peared. but the king OF Korea found
a Chinese army and Japanese fac
ing each other In hostile guise upon
his territory and asked them to with
draw-which they refused to do. The
king appealed to the United States.

ed China and Japan please 10 get out

CAREFULLY KILL ALL WEEDS

important that no weeds become large
enough to produce and ripen seed.
The use of stable manure is source
of fresh infection. as this usually con-

may be avoided by using only we'll
rotted manure on the garden. keeping
fresh manure in a compost heap for
at least six months. The seeds win

MERCHANDISING METHoDo

Modern methods Of merchan-
dising, which have brought sue
cess to the foremost businesses
of the country, should be
brought to the attention of deal
ers in cooperative markets by
the market manager. This
should be one Of his particular
functions, 9nd he should be Sc
lected largely with a view of
his knowledge of merchandising,
his enthusiasm and his ability
to inspire confidence In and OBJ
tain results from the class Of
men who operate market stalls.
The manager should get his
dealers together from time to
time and talk to them on mer-
chandislng methods. He should
spend much time In the market
observing operations and sug-
costing improvements, and
should let 1t be understood
that he will be glad at any time
to help In the solution of any
problem that may arise.

that someone else may take advan-
tage of the so-called free delivery anu

a market, therefore, should be that
dealers will not be permitted to grant
credit or deliver goods at the dealers
expense.
Smaller Profits.
The market manager should insist
to dealers in the market that the say.
ings effected by them as compared
with outside dealers, by reason of the
lower rentals and the absence of de-
livery and credit expenses, should be
passed on to the consumer in lower
prices. Because Of decreased operat-
ine expenses, dealers in the market
can sell at considerably reduced prices
and still make the same margin Of
net profit as the average storekeeper.
As a matter Of fact, they can well
afford to take somewhat smaller
margin Of profit, since fair reduction
Of prices as compared with other COM
petitors will attract more customers
and so will build up the volume Of
their business and increase the rapid

be that the aggregate net income built

The Elephant

The elephants live in India and
Africa. Elephants are the largest
existing land animals. The ordin-
airy height at the shoulder Is eight
feet, but sometimes exceeds ten
feet. The elephants weight is about
five tons. the body being very
bulky in proportion to it's height.
To sustain this weight it is furnish
ed with limbs Of colossal thickness
and strength, which are so remark
ably straight each bone resting
vertically on that beneath it. OF
the appearance Of inflexibility pre-
sented by the limbs, arose the no.
ton prevalent among the ancients,
and throughout the middle ages,
that the limbs are destitute Of
joints, and that consequently an
elephant cannot lie and rest like
any other Quadruped, and If it were
to lie down it could not arise again,
but always sleeps standing or lean
ing against tree or rock, against
which it may have been rubbing
itself. The flexibility Of the limbs
however are sufficient to permit
the elephant to run with the speed
and ability of horse. To indulge
the playful gambols, and to ascend
and descend steep mountains, elep.
hants are more sure footed than
either horses or mules. On the
very steepest declines an elephant
can work his way down rapidly,
even with a howdah and its occup-
ants on his back.
The head of the elephant is
large, the neck is short and thick,
the long flexible proboscis COM
pensating both for the shortness Of
the neck, and fos the flexibility
cause by the largely developed pro.
cess of its vertabra, enabling the
animal readily to objects on the
ground, or to height of several feet |
above its head or on either side |
The ears are long and flappy. An
elephant has good memory, as at |
one time there was a trainer who :
was given cocoanut and he hit
the elephant on the head and broke
1t open and injured the elephant,
and a few days later the elephant
was passing some cocoanuts and
picked up one of the cocoanuts and
hit his trainer on the head and
killed him on the spot.-Norman

Like Raisins? Here
kTheir Story

Raisins are dried grapes. The
grapes grow in clusters. They have
. very sweet, sugary taste. They
are grown in temperate and trop.
ical climates. The best varieties
come from Spain, such as the
Malagas, and from Turkey, the
Symaras. California, also furnish
es large qualities Of raisons.
Raisins are prepared in two diff.
ferent methods. The method con
sists In partially cutting through
the stock of the ripened punches,
and allowing them to shrink and
dry upLn the vines BY the heat Of
the sun.
They are by far the better sort.
and are called risins of the sun, OF
Muscatels. Malaga is much cele.
brated for its sun raisins. which are
the finest In the world. These
riasins prepared by the other
methods are called Lelias, and are
gathered and hung ON lines, or laid
on prepared floors to dry in the
sun. When dried they are dipped
into hot I've. made by dissolving the
alkali from wood ashes, or barilla
with water until the filtered fluid
has a specific gravity Of LOO to
this is added, four gallons, a pint Of
olive oil and a quarter of pound Of
salt.
After dipping the fruit is laid on
hurdles Of wicker work to drain
and are continually exposed to the
sun for fortnight. The raisins are
then pulled from the stalks, and
packed into boxes for transport to
other countries. The qualities best
known in the markets are Valen-
cias and Demas, from Spain. Ma
lagas from Malaga. and black
Symranas and Sultanas from Asia
tic Turkey.
Raisins are used in cooking and
baking. Also eaten in desert, and
often used in medicine.-Hilbelt
