step should be towards the treatment of

It Is unfortunate that the achiovc
incnts of men usaully give rise to
wrangling In which considerable bad
temper Is displayed. This was seen
during and after the Santiago cam
paign in Cuba and the Sompson-
Schley controversy in the Spanish
American war. Other numerous in
stances might be quoted. And now
a veritable war of words is one out
come of the discovery of the north
pole. What good does it. do? It can
not settle the question or the con
flicting claims of the two eminent
explorers. That can only be done,
if at all, by the scientists. The only
effect of the controversy is to evoke
a lot of positive and strongly worded
statements In every community and
create bail feeling. People had bet
ter learn a lesson from the pole it
self by keeping cool.

igmatical utterance by saying that |
it was by sticking to his chair, ns
wax would make him stick, and by
plodding away at his work his sue

stick-to-itlveness, and that quality in
almost every instance is necessary ;

Cotton still holds up to a good
price though there Is but little new
cotton being sold so far, simply be
cause it is not. picked out and ginned.
If it will only stay up until we can
get it out and ginned it will be put
on the market and no holding about
it. But should it go down to 9 or
10 cents, those who are out of debt
can hold as long as they wish, pro
vided they stay out of debt. But
those who have given their promis
sory notes for guano and other sup
plies will have to sell if the price be
only 8 cents. Wo can not go in debt
and hold cotton. But we can stay
out of debt and hold as long as we
please until the price suits us to put
it on the market.
Farmers can never be independent
until they can control what they
have to sell and the principal part of
what we sell is cotton. Not many
farmers have any corn, meat, wheat,
oats or hay to sell. The great, dif
ficulty with the farmers is buying
those things. We as farmers to be
prosperous should be sellers of all
those things named and buyers of
nothing that we can successfully
raise at home.

a large iqieclmeu of the blue whale

This whale is probably the largest of
all living animals. The length of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
Its name of blue whale from the dark

PROMPT JUSTICE-
The Magistrate Was Firm and Tried
to Be Genial.
In the "History of Beverly,” Mass.,
the following anecdote is related of a
good justice of the peace in the old co
lonial times. On a cold night in winter
a traveler called at bis house for lodg
ing. The ready hospitality of the jus
tice was about being displayed when
the traveler unluckily uttered a word
which his host considered profane.
Upon this be Informed his guest that
he was a magistrate, pointed out the
nature of the offense and explained the
necessity of its being expiated by sit
ting an hour in the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavailing, for
custom at that time allowed the mag
istrate to convict and punish at once,
and in this case he acted as accuser,
witness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in
one.
Cold as it was, our worthy justice,
aided by his son. conducted the travel
er to the place of punishment, an open
place near the meeting house where
the stocks were placed. Here the trav
eler was confined in the usual manner,
the benevolent executor of the law re
maining with him to beguile the time
of its tedium by edifying conversation.
At the expiration of the hour he was
reconducted to the house and hospita
bly entertained till the next morning,
when the traveler departed with, let
us hope, a determination to consider
his words more carefully before giving
them utterance in the hearing of a con
scientious magistrate.
JAPAN’S PAGODAS.
They Are Built to Resist the Shock of
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact in Japan is that
pagodas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle of the modern
seismograph, which is to minimize the
effect of earthquake motion by the
combination of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum, or, in
other words, by the union of a stable
and an unstable structure to produce a
neutral stability, which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well of every five sto
ried pagoda a heavy mass of timber Is
suspended freely, like an exaggerated
tongue, from the top right to the
ground, but not in contact with it. and
at the shock of an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base.
This is also the principle followed in
the construction of all bell towers
throughout Japan, where the bell acts
as pendulum, and the roof, supported
by posts, forms an inverted pendulum, ;
as in the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs a pagoda
or a bell tower may be rotated or dis
placed, but it cannot be overturned as
a whole.—Wide World Magazine.
Peeling a Snake.
It is difficult to skin a dead snake,
and the skin is oftgn spoiled in the
course of the operation, while, on the
other hand, it is a simple matter to
kkin a live snake, and the skin thus
gained is worth much more. Dead
snakes bring from 2 to 5 cents, accord- ;
ing to their size, and live ones from
25 cents to sl. One of the largest
snake skin companies has factories in
Sumatra. When a snake is received
from a hunter it is seized adroitly by
an operator, one hand squeezing the
neck and the other bolding the tail.
It is then attached by the neck to the
trunk of a palm tree, an assistant
holding It by the tail. With the point
of a knife the operator cuts the skin |
just below the bead and, pulling with
all his strength, peels it from the
writhing reptile in the same way that
a woman peels a pair of gloves from
her hand.—Popular Mechanics.

TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722.
In the town records of the city of
Boston there is a curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
if he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d of May.
1722, Uis set forth that:
“Coll Ben Townsend, Jeremiah Al
len Esqr, & John Edwards together
with the Select men, Vlssitted the
wrigbtlng School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thirsday the 24th apll
1722, and Examined the Scholars un
der mr Ames Angers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy
phering & the masters ability of teach
ing & Instructing youth his rules &
methodstherefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr anger ip that Employ.”
Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr. Ames Anger should not con
tinue master of tilts “Said South
school.”
It is true that nothing is said of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
“weighting School,” and it is also pos
sible that a clerk rather than the com
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record, but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as it
stands.—Exchange.
A Suspicious Silence.
Howard was only twenty months
older than the baby. He had somehow
come to realize that Elwood, wbo was
creeping, was more likely to be in mis
chief when quiet. One day he called to
his mother with a great deal of anx
iety in his little voice, “Mamma. 1 bear
Elwood keeping still.”—Delineator.
No Fault of His.
“Why. Johnny! Your little sister is
shelling two quarts of peas to your
one.”
“Well, I told the durn little chump
about it. but it didn’t do no good.”—
Cleveland Leader.
Poor Taste.
Little Edna (reading)—Say, mamma,
what is a lack of artistic taste? Mam
ma—lt is the feeling, my dear, that
prompts a bald beaded man with red
whiskers to wear a black wig.—Chi
cago News.
