Dr. Lorenz, by pulling children's legB mto Joint, seius to have pulled some loctorg' noses out of joint. Some folks get more fun out of tell fag how they didn't yield to temptation than others do In yielding. King Alfonso of Spain has Just In herited $7,500,000. He makes no secret f It, owing to the fact that be can appoint his own tax assessors. The Standard Oil Company has In raded Russia, and the bear that walks like a man Is face to face with some thing that looks like an octopus. A French woman who had been In a trance for twenty years woke up the other day and died. Some people don't fcnow when to leave well enough alone. Since circus men's unions have be gun to go on strikes, tying up the shows, how can the American boy nope to enjoy himself as Lis father did? Riches don't bring happiness, ac cording, to a Chicago banker. But they are mighty handy to have in the house along about the first of the month. A Chicago woman cried the other flay because somebody else paid her taxes. This ought to be told to Hetty Green. She hasn't been able for a long time to enjoy a Joke. The Kansas City Star speaks of Mrs. Hetty Green's "superfluous and bur densome wealth." Mrs. Green may have a lot of superfluous wealth, but we don't believe she finds any of it burdensome. i The Russian police have been or dered to expel the Jews from certain cities by sending them over the bor der. This, at any rate. Is a vast im provement of the Kishcnev method, although that also was an expulsion. Suppose the postage stamps are not works of art, who cares? They an swer their purpose just as well as if fcach one were hand-painted, and doubtless better. What the public is chiefly Interested in is that they shall tick. In this country It Is not respectable for a man's wife and daughters to work, but the harder the old man works the more he Is admired. They tell cheerful stories about the old man his little children say "Papa is too busy to die," but that Is about all he fcets out of life in the way of distinc tion. While we are boasting of the expan Ion of foreign commerce, the magnl fcide of American business enterprises and the Increase in the naval strength It Is well to recall what Mrs. Mary A. LiTermore said to a mothers' and fa thers' club recently. "The advance of nation cornea through its homes," ihe declared, "not through Its battle- hi pa, its great trusts or its corpora Hons." Men who have sacrificed youth and health, scrimped their families, and In jnred their digestion in the acquire ment of a "pile," often think they are public benefactors, and that humanity In general owes them a debt of grat Itnae tor being so ncn. in conse quence they recent as cruel injustice the fatigue, cLsgrln and newspaper no toriety that money Invariably brings in its trail. It would be about as con sistent for a little boy who had gorged limeelf on purloined apples to feel in lured when an avenging stomachache followed gluttony. Americans go to Europe to see West minster Abbey, Europeans come to America to see Niagara Falls and the Yellowstone Pask. The President, aft r spending two weeks in the park, re marked that It was singular that more Europeans than Americans visited It pie hoped to see Americans appreciat ing the attractions of their own coun try.

We do not ranch believe la the intellect, the morals or the pedagogics of the colt breaker or the lxy breakers. There are better ways to break a horse or a child than to break Its will, and the teacher that j entertains such diabolic theories should J be "broken." The noteworthy fact i about the whole discussion is the utter omission from a hundred papers and editorials and discussion of the most important element of the entire mat ter. There are, 1 true, many other factors; there Is lully overstudy and overpressure, but .lie one cause of the nervems child which is ignored, but which Is as prolific a source of evil as perhaps all others combined. Is eye strain. Sailors in the United States navy henceforth will have their vacations. Secretary Moody has decided that hereafter, upon the arrival of a naval vessel in port, all the good-conduct men shall have a furlough which will enable them to visit their relatives or friends for a period of ten days, not counting the time spent in going and coming. The change has two objects In view: the rewarding of faithful service and obedience and the raising of the morale of the men. hen they have only a day or so of shore leave they hang round the saloons in the city. Ten days' vacation will give them opportunity to get Into more wholesome surroundings. It is pleas ant to note that Secretary Moody was moved to this innovation by a belief that the character of the men In the navy has greatly Improved of late, and that they can be trusted. Next to the growth of the I'nltec States, tlx1 expansion of the Russian empire Is the most potentially signifi cant fact in contemporary history. Considerable excitement was caused in various foreign offices recently by the report that Russia had decided to regard Manchuria as part of the em pire. Yet -it is well known that Rus sian influence has been dominant in Manchuria since 3SH8, and that little more Is needed to make it Russian ter ritory then the official acknowledg ment that China no longer exercises authority there. Russia can afford to wait for this, as It already enjoys prac tically all the advantages of posses sion, including access to the ice-free, ports of the Yellow Sea. It is large ly because Russian statesmen know how to wait for the opportune moment that the empire is so large to-day, and that Its encroachment on the territory of other nations interests foreign min isters so deeply. For nearly six cen turies, ever since the empire was noth ing more than Moscow with a few hundred square miles round about, Russia has been expanding. For two centuries expansion has gone on with a definite and consistent policy. It was Peter the Great who secured the territory on which St Petersburg now stands. In order that he might have access to tne open sea. Access to tne Baltic, and to the North Pacific through Siberian ports, has not con tented his successors. Through Man churia they have reached the Yellow Sea, and are drifting southward to ward the Mediterranean and the Per sian Gulf with a steadiness which sug gests the irresistible movement of the glacier. The disturbing facts In Eu ropean politics are chiefly attributable to Russian aspirations; the control of the Balkan states, in order to secure access by Its navy to the Medlter nanean, and the domination of Persia so effectually as to secure a highway from Its own frontier to the Persian Gulf for commercial and military pur poses. These Imperial projects conflict with the Interests of Great Britain, Austria, Italy and Germany. They are especially injurious to Great Britain, since in both cases they admit a pos slble future enemy to points adjacent to the way to India. The Russian movement toward the Persian Gulf, in particular, is so seriously regarded In London that the- government has formally declared In Parliament that the establishment of a naval station In those waters would be regarded as a menace to liriush interests, and would be resisted. A Liegead A boat Cat. The Ancient Greeks thought that ah creatures except cats had souls and that that animal lost Its soul through a bargain made between a bridge architect and the devil. The architect had besought the devil to get bis help In constructing an exceedingly danger ous bridge structure, and his Satanic majesty only consented to lend aid on condition that the first creature to crafts it should Idee Its soul. This was agreed upon, the bridge finished In due time and the devil sent to the opposite side to await his prey. The shrewd architect took good cars to send a cat over before any human being was allowed to cross. On learn ing of the bargain the cat ncroesed th bridge and scratched the architect! eyes out Pase of a Coward. "Don't you kiss mar she cried, as sh sprsng from his side.

A heavy yk-lding variety of more (ban average quality Is something growers of potatoes have long desired, and the tests of the new variety. I'n- cle Sam, shown In the cut. Indicate that It fills the bill. So large are the yields of this variety under ordinary culture, expert growers claim that It has no equal. The tubers are uniform in slse, with comparatively few very small specimens, and the quality Is of the very beet. In season the variety Is medium to late. T'nfortunately, re sults are not all that can be desired on heavy soils or clay, but on sandy or loemy soils It has no equal. Id form the Uncle flam Is oval, pure white, with russet skin and shallow eyes near the surface. Continued tests may prove that the variety will do better on heavy soils after the first lesson, which Is frequently the case with' sorts that have Wn grown from the beginning In lighter soils. At all events, the variety has too uiany good points to throw It aside for culture on heavy soils after a single season of testing. Churning- Ilinla.

The use of sweat pads under some circumstances may be justified, espe cially when horses have started work n the spring in good form and are re- luce,! in flesh during the summer. One of the principal objections to the sweat Md Is that it tends to become soggy. and cons'-quently Increases the friction ictv, een the surface of the pad and the hmilder. It sometimes happens mat the use J the pad one can fit a col- nr that could otherwise not be worn. lu this Instance the price of a collar ninv be Muted. By the use of the pad the cVraft Is often thrown on the outer edge of the shoulders, while it should be as cli se In as possible. When an animal gels a sore sot on some p:irt of his shoulder It Is sometimes possible to cut a hole in the pad and thus re lieve the pressure on this place until it becom li.-fll.d. The main ihli:g Is to have a collar fit the shoulder well. Where this Is the case there is seld rm any danger of irritation, providing the haiiies are properly fitted to the collar and pulled up tightly each time they are put on. It never pays to work away with a collar that Vhi not fit because an animal that constantly ex lerliucea pain through Ill-litting har ness cannot do the same amount of work, nor do it as willingly, as would be the- case If all parts of the harness are adjusted to Its form. Iowa Home st -ad. " , Profit tn Karly Tnrnlpa. Market gardeners who are sltuatec fo as to command a gooa traue uirw with consumers will find the growing of turnips, and especially of the early varieties, profitable. The illustration shows specimens of Early Milan, one of the best turnl grown. It Is the earliest white turnip in cultivation, and of sul, ndid Qualify, just Bulled to houscki-epers who object to the pun gent taste of most varieties of tur nips. The flmh is fine grained, tendiT and clear white. The skin Is also whlt and very attractive. The top Is smal and the turnip grows w!th a single tap root, hence Is well suited to cultiva tion on ground where space must b economized. It Is well worth a trial, and should be grown by every farmer for his own table, even though not for market Indltnapolis News. Bawijf Clover in Corn. Many who have attempted to get a, stand of crimson clover have failed and have given up attempting thf work. This is a mistake, for If on can get a crop of crimson clover to turn under, the cost of farm fertil izers may be materially reduced. A good plan ls to sow crimson and red clover mixed, at the rate of six to ..t.ht quarts per acre, doing the work Just before the last cultivation of the corn and seeing that the cultlva. non Is very shallow. In many caset the stand of clover will be good and It will go through the winter In fall shape and, wheu plowed under th following spring, will add greatly ti the fertility of the soil. It might pay. In sections where poor results hart come from crimson clover, to sow rye In place of clover and then try ths clover another year. Or cow-peas may be used In place of rye or clover, and then the clover tried the following year. It pays to keep on experiment- . ; log until one Is able to get a stand of crimson clover.
