~ SIR EDWIN ARNOLD. Bis Recent Marriage to a Japanese Lady Causes Comment. Sir Edwin Arnold, whose marriage in London to a Japanese lady is creating some comment, has expressed great love for Japan and its people ever since his residence there some y ago. The author of “The Light of was - mever backward in freely expressing his devotion to the people of the orient, p- and it is no surprise whatever to those » who know his sentiments that he } taken an oriental woman to be his life partner. Sir Edwin has never come out definitely on the question of his belief in Buddhism, as it is expounded from the “esoteric” point of view in the gos- pel of his works on Sakya Morehi, but ars 4 ae SIR EDWIN ARNOLD. (The Famous Author of “The Light of Asia.") it has been quietly said that the poet put more in “The Light of Asia” than his mere admiration for a system of philosophy and religion combined that won so eminent a man as Prof. Draper and has more recently won the great Prof. Huxley. In almost all of Sir Edwin’s writings is found the oriental spirit, or the mystic touch of the far east. During his stay in Japan the emperor expressed his admiration for the poet by investing him with the or- der of the Rising Sun, and gave him the dignity of “Chokunin” of the em- pire. Sir Edwin is no longer a young man. Indeed he may be said to be old, for he is 65, but he is endeared to the + Japanese, who will feel signally hon+ @ sored by this alliance with the western expositor of Buddhism. | MARY'S LAMB OUTDONE. This New York Pet Churns 120 Quarts of Cream at a Time. Mrs. J. Vail, wife of a New York farmer, thinks her pet lamb, Dick, is more intelligent than the one Mary owned. This lamb earns its board and Mary’s did not. His time is divided be- tween the cows and the dairy. Mrs. Vail calls Dick when the churning is ready, and he responds cheerfully. The big churn has a dasher which is con- pected on the outside of the dairy with he wheel which Dick turns round and ound until the work isended. As the butter forms the wheel turns harder, and then Dick works with a will, bleat- ng as he works. He seems to know is work is almost finished, and when at. wv A DICK THE LAMB. (This Lamb Churns 12 Quarts of Cream.) the wheel and takes a nap, but if a cow | happens to low he is away in an instant » to the pasture to find out what is the matter. He churns 120 quarts of butter ata time. Dick takes the 25 cows to the pasture im the morning and brings them home at night. In the morning he is frisky, and allows them to loiter and eat grass on the wayside, but at night he is ina great hurry, and if a cow stops he butts my 8=6away unmercifully. If onestrays away > he will keep all the rest waiting until he finds the truant, and with a few butts he chases them all home. Statistics of the Brain. Assuming that the world contains 1,- 400,000,000 inhabitants, a statistician estimates that their brains weigh 1,922,- 712 tons. This averages about 40 ounces per head. Physiologists give the aver- age weight of an adult male brain as 48 ounces, and in a female 43 ounces. At birth it is said to be 14and 12 ounces ™ ©~= respectively. But something must be deducted from the above estimate. A child’s brain at ihe age of seven years average 40 ounces. Beyond the age of 40 the weight steadily declines at the rate of about one-quarter in ten years. Ge =e The brains of idiots are much below; the average, some weighing less than 16 ounces. The calculations of a German _ biologist show that each human brain contains 300,000,000 nerve cells, 5,000,- 000 of which die and are succeeded by new ones each day. Hence there should be about 576,713,600,000,000 brain cells » in the world. Corn at Paris Exposition. The Paris exposition offers an invit- ing schoolroom. American cooks turn- ing out griddle cakes, hoe cakes, corn poue, bread made from corn and rye, bread made from an admixture of corn flour and wheat flour and all of the many delightful corn products, serving them free to visitors from ali over Eu- Tope, from all over the world, would do much to make the advantages of America’s greatest cereal known and appreciated. Pronunciation of Missouri. A special dispatch to the Globe-Demio- erat says the Columbia school board passed unanimously a resolution declaring that the teachers employed by the district should hereafter teach » && a proper pronunciation of the naine of this state “Mizzoury.” The board is fomposed of four democrats and two Tepublicans. 4 Think Shoes f eB x is < = aa a) < c & i oO oO = & Oo 1G) < z= ” And you'll think of MAX WEINER.

Dr Gilmore, one of those splendid specimens of that old school of pol- ished gentlemen (as evidenced by the bee gum hat) was a visitor in Passaic one day last week. Dr Son thinks his reputation is spreading out some, as well as his intelligence here of late, in-so-much as he has an offer from some “‘honor- able green goods man” to take him asapartner. Butits no use ‘Mr. Greeny” as the doctor has about all the legitimate business he can attend to at present. Mr Freer, our blacksmith, says that owing to the inroads made on our farms by the syndicate, he in- tends migrating to some point in Montana or Wyoming, in the spring. John Woody delivered some fat hogsto R M Wilcox last Monday morning at $3.15 per hundred. Mr Crews, our road overseer has been at work onthe highways for a week or more, and is doing some work. Wethinkit a mistake that all overseers make in allowing any hollow places whatever in the center of the road lower than the outside; thus causing the water to run in the center of the road cutting ditches to the damage of the roads. ei J O Wallace left last week to make his home in Illinois. W F Maddy, author, Esq. and far- mer is making hay while the sun shines by getting a good lot of fall plowing done. Mr Eichler informs us that it is his intention to make the race for judge of the northern district. If long ac- quaintance with the county, coupled with a sound judgment and conserv- ative views financially are any requi- sites to commend a man for this responsible position, his claims will be equal to any, and it will takea mighty good man beat him. A mistake occurred in our last say- ing Mr Feebeck’s farm contained 80 acres. It should have read 280. Mrs Harlow is reported on the sick list; we hope to see her out again. We met our distinguished friend, John Allen Hedges from Round Prai- rie in Butler one day last week. John’s most distinguished feature is that since our leaving down there he is “Jord of allhe surveys” asa “‘blank- et stretcher.” Its real good to hear him “stretch” on any subject. One of R V Williams’ pretty daugh- ters wasa visitor with Miss Kirtly last week. We are glad to notice press reports in fayor of Major Harvey W Salmon for governor. Asa polished gentle- man of the old school, chivalrous, brave and with an executive ability second to none in the wide domain of Missouri, he stands a peer among them all, and for one we would be proud to see him thus honored by The above figures were compiled by the St. Louis Post Dispatch. uene im | DEACONBROS & 60.
