Nothing can contribute more to the
advancement of agriculture than tho
eradication of the old, stupid notion
that farming Is mere physical drudgery
and to be despised and the Inculcation
of the truth that fanning is a selentiih
pursuit entitled to as much respect
ami consideration as any other occupa
tion when there is devoted to it tho
amount of scientific knowledge and In
telligent Judgment and discrimination
to which the business is entitled. To
the extent that tho farmer boy and
farmer girl learn to look with pride
upon tills occupation In that degrco Is
the business of farming benefited and
success assured.
The progress of Japan carries with
It a lesson which the other powers of
the world will do well to learn. With
out the believed advantages of western
civilization, tho land of tho Mikado
has made her way silently, without
pomp and announcement, in tho family
f nations. Hardly over three decades
ago Japan laid aside her samurl her
traditions of tho past--and began her
lesson as a pupil of tlio western na
tions, retaining, however, the diplo
macy and strategy of the orient, until
now she presents perhaps the strong-
st sight of tlio composite picture of
development and physical and Intellec
tual power. Now, after her success In
her struggle with Russia, sho has al
ready aroused a feeling of fear and
suspicion among the other powers.
The modoru navies of this counts
Great Britain and Japan aro alike ut
least In onu res tet that the accident
Of peaco have coat them rather more
In men ami ships than tho Incidents
ot war. Tho loss with nearly GOO men
of Admiral Togo's flagship, the power
ful battleship Mlkasa, that boro tlio
brunt of the fighting In tho Into war,
was one of tho most appalling calami'
ties that has overtaken any navy In
time of peace. In destruction of life
it ranked with tho loss of tho P.rltlsli
turret strip Captain In tho Hay of
Risen j in tho early days of tho Iron
clad and tlio sinking of the Victoria bj
the Campcrdown a few years ago. Tho
United States navy has In Its annali
jot' peace the blowing up of the Maine
and the loss of two ships of Admiral
Franklin's squadron In tho Samoau
hurricane of tho late S0's. Each of tho
disasters enumerated cost the nation
concerned more lives than any naval
battle It has engaged In since .steam
supplanted sails.
With reference to the present popu
lar tendency to see graft every whore
In other people's business and to de
nounce It publicly In other jieople's
politics one fact forces Itself upon tho
attention. This fact Is that tho most
conspicuous lapses from sound moral
standards have been among men who
were vociferous In their pretensions to
honest business and honest politics and
were conspicuous In denouncing other
people's lapses. To name specific In
stances would be unnecessary. They
will readily occur to all who think
back. Nor is tho moral of the taio
so obscuro that ho who runs may not
read it. If all the men who huvo been
frequent In sitting on good government
platforms and Incessant In denouncing
graft In Now York or Pennsylvania or
Colorado, or In other peoplo's affairs,
had kept their own hands unsolled, had
kept their own faces clean, wo should
not have spread before us such a dls
graceful record as that shown at Al
bany. Wo aro not worse than other
people. Much that we hero resent as
"graft" or "rakeofl" Is regarded In Kir
ropeau communities as mere "coniniis
sions" or "business." Rut we mijlit bo
better, far better, than wo are. How
ever, thero is only ono way for us to
become bettor. That Is for very Jack
man of us to remember to swoop first
before his own door, and liel'oro point
lug the finger of scorn at a stranger
a thousand miles off to be suro that
lie Is keeping his own face clean.
.Mr. James nryce, in a recent address,
liolnted otit that soino of tho so-called
pure racial strains In Caucasian conn
tries and thoir colonies aro disappear
ing In Intermixtures, tho components of
which nre Increasingly dlfllcult to trace
rno truth 1s that purity of race is
largely a matter of definition, depend
ing on what la meant by a fundamen
tally original strain. Most of the dom
lnant nntions of the world are of mixed
blond. Tho Rrlton Is Germanic, Sean
dinavlan, Norman, Celtic. The French
man Is Celtic, Scandinavian, Germanic.
A learned anthropologist has declared
that thero is probably more Gallb
blood in Germany than In France
America is a confused amalgam of
colonial progenitors from three con
turles of Immigration. TJie bearing of
this Is not confined to tlio regions of
ethnology and anthropology, but
touches our deepest habits of thought
and feeling. The world Is divided Inio
little provinces, full of local prejud' -c,
and far from the spirit of universal
brotherhood which the Savior taught,
and which ought to bo felt at least be
tween nations professing belief lu His
teachings. Many wars and a continual
international friction which restrains
trade and the exchange of thought aro
caused by race prejudices. It is prob
ably asking too much to bid us look
to. the Fast and the South and behold
our brothers in men whoso features
are so unlike our normal types of face.
Rut tho Occidental nations might at
least learn the first lesson of ethnology,
and outreason tlielr prejudice agalint
their own cousins. The actual cousin
ship of royal houses lu Kurope has
done much to keep tlio peace. A sense
of national couslnship founded on tho
facts of history might do more to keep
tho peaco, by making tlio American feel
that he has no qiiarrel with French,
English, Irish, Herman, for ho Is all
those, and by making "even tho iesi"
complex racial blends of Kurope feel
tho kinship which Is true In placo of
the alienation which Is false.

"Fin out of health," said the man, de
jectedly. For an answer tho doctor waved his
hand toward tin door of his inner of

and late, and. sure enough, found him
ejr, at hist, In health once more.

"Last year 1 suffered with a tremen
dous Itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four mouths or
so 1 suffered torments, and 1 had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until. I bled.
At night when 1 went to bed things
got worse, and 1 bad at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
I was as sore as could be, and until
1 suffered excruciating pains. They
told mo that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that i would use tho Cutlcura Reme
dies. I used them according to In
structions, and very soon Indeed I was
greatly relieved. I continued until
well, and now 1 am ready to recom
mend the Cutlcura Remedies to any

Those funds paid not quite one-third
of the expenses of tho university for
that year, which aniounted to $755),

from tlio state, from miscellaneous
earnings, and from interest on the
