remarkable Feat of Juggling.

An Indian jugyler'S remarkable feat
is described by Il writer in the Wide
World Magazine. A slim young ma
tives accompanied by graybearded
assistant. appeared carrying couple
Of large baskets, from the first Of
which was produced a big python,
which the young native proceeded to
charm" with his pipe. The juggler
took the basket containing the python.
placed it upon large cloth, the four
corners of which he knotted together
with a strong thin rope. At the end
Of this rope were affixed two little
hollow-leaden cups, which he placed
over his eyeballs in such a way that
a vacuum was created. He then shut
his eyes so that the lids were outside
the cups.
The two sides Of the rope were then
passed over his ears and, rising from
his squatting position, he lifted the
basket containing the snake by the
grip of his eyelids and the suction on
his eyebalIs alone. The writer says
he has never heard Of the feat being
performed before or since.

Slave Traffic Still Exists.

Slave traffic along the Arab coast is
illegal under the terms OF certain con-
ventions, but slavery, nevertheless, is
said still to exist to a rather consider
able extent. few years ago men,
bers OF the American Arabian mission
at Rahrein rescued whole boatload
OF black boys who had been Struggled
up from Africa for sale along the
Oman coast. In the interior towns
slaves are used mostly as personal
servants. hndyguards and hOstlcrs. By
an old law in Arabia. a slave is freed
after seven years Of service. provided
he has embraced the MOslem religion.
and it is said that most of the slaves
do so. There is no prejudice against
marriage With blacks in Arabia. eSpe-
cialIy after they are freed This in
termarriage has scattered black pop
ula1ion all over Arabia. In ports like
Mnskat and Alden mulattoeS and mixed
breeds are so common that the pure
Arab strain is almost rarity

EASY TO WIN Co.0PERATldN
Main Thing to Remember Is That One
Must Earn What One Expects

Getting on with others Is a nnttel

If YOU expect cooperation you mus
give co-operal ion-judiciously, system

You can win cooperation from q
person when you help him to do what
he wants to DO.
Everybody has desires which are
worthy and deserving of promotion
Study the desires Of the person whose
cooperation you wish TO win and then
idealize the ways by which you can aid
him to realize those desires
1t all comes back to a matter OF

Degrees in Commerce.

Commercial education is to receive
new impetus al the University Of Lon
don. where degrees in commerce are to
he inauYuratcd in the near future.
There are to be two degrees: First,
that of bachelor Of commerce, which
would correspond to the same degree
in the other faculties; and. secondly.
the degree of master of commerce. The
salient idea is that modern language
is to be taught, not as an academic,
nut as a practical subject, says the
United States bureau of education.
Among the languages which are to be
taught as practical rather than AGA
demic subjects would be Polish, Czech,
Kumanian, modern Greek, and the
great eastern languages, Hindustani,
Chinese and others.

her flower garden by pulling apart
the tender rose blooms she had fond

him. He will be a great surgeon"
she exclaimed delightedly, as he Curl
ously watched the writings of the
mutilated bugs and small creatures
which fell into his hands, at the age
of fourteen.

Few farmers" says the council

that agriculture is primarily labor
and underpaid labor at that. A stu
dy Of the value Of farm products for
1919, of the farmers expenses for
labor, interest on investment, freight.
taxes fertilizers, seeds, feeds, mach
inery and depreciation, show that if
the farmers had allowed themselves
and their wives and children a decent
minimum wage of $1,000 a year for
full time they ran behind the game
on last years work about S6,4s1,7 49,
900.
'The total value of crops at the
farm last year was $16,O25, 900 900.
The total value of animals and ami
NAL products was $s,957,OO0,O 900, a
total of s24,9S2,OOO, 900.
1.-THE farmer is accustomed to
thinking of himself as only a working
man and not as a manager entitled
to a managers profits and returns
There are about 100000 farms in
the country, and if we estimate the
average number of members of the
farm family on each farm devoting
most of their time-eight hours
day--to farm work, the total number
of persons employed was 10000
600.
This is certainly conservative, for
the farmers wives give much of
their time to the farm work in addi-
tion to household work, and one or
two or all the children of most farm
ers' families also work on the farm
most of the time. Unfortunately
many children begin working when
six or seven years of age, parctuilar-
ly in the south.
I'VE estimate that the total cost
and expenses of production on all the
farms of the country last year were
$31,46S,7S7OOO of which the follow
ing are the chief items:
Labor of farmers. farmers wives
and children, 13.OOO,O00,O 1000; sea-
sonal hired labor $500, 100000; in
terest on farm values at 6 per cent,
$4,674,000,00O; freight paid for car
rying farm products. $6GO,OOO.O0O;
taxes, $4OO,OOO,OOO; seeds $723,-
100000; feeds, 100000; in
terest on farm indebtedness Gin ex-
cess of per cent? 2,OOO,O0O; de-
probation of implements and ma
chinery at 10 per cent. s211,725,O0O
a total of $31, 400, $4,000. 1t is un-
fortunate that farmers have not held
their services at a higher price.
Farmers who manage farms are eI-
titled to fully as big money returns
as the managers of other similar bu-
sinesses, but they often receive less
wages than many unskilled workers,
who themselves are not getting a liv-
ing wage and we should count their
time worth at least $4,000 a year"
