Unburying a City. Herculaneum, the rich and splendid eity that was buried, along with Pom- peli and Stabiae, by the eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79, is to be dug from the mass of tufa which covered it, and its buildings are to be dis- closed to view. Prof. Waldstein of Cambridge university has induced the Italian government to consent to the work, on condition that it be officially difected by Italians, and that the as- sistance of foreigners, financially and rwise, shall be unofficial. Should enterprise be carried out, we soon have much light thrown the manner of life of the Romans the first century. Herculaneum, ‘ar more than Pompeii, was the resi- dence of wealthy and cultivated citi- zens. Their houses were filled with ‘artistic objects and their libraries contained the best literature of the period. In a partial excavation nearly 2,000 manuscript rolls were found in one house. Pompeii was covered with small stones and soft ashes from the voleano. Herculaneum was buried beneath a torrent of mud to the depth of from 30 to 120 feet. On top of it two large modern villages have been built. General excavation has not been undertaken, lest the stability of the villages should be threatened. Plans now making provide for tearing down these villages, so far as neecs- sary, to get at the city beneath. In the comparatively near future, says Youth's Companion, we may expect to hear reports of the uncovering of fine bronze and marble statuary, of beautiful mansions, of librartes filled with ancient books, some of them for centuries known by tradition only. In short, it will be as if we were taken back more than eighteen hun- dred years, and were able to look upon the city as its inhabitants sud- denly left it when Vesuvius poured | ” the flood of mud, molten rock \ alding water upon the towns of } award slope. Dr. Morrison, the well-known cor- respondent of the London Times at Pekin, went to see the recent maneu- vers of the modernized Chinese army in the neighborhood of Changtefu. He describes them as a repetition of the performance of last year—a set- piece carefully prepared long before- hand by a number of Japanese advisers. , The general opinion formed by the military attaches was not, he says, unfavorable, though many years’ work without official jobbery will be needed before the troops can com- pare with those of more advanced na- tions. The inefficiency of the officer is still ec ad the fic pienou training of the men inadequate, but! the material is good. Dr. Morrison hints pretty plainly that, without the Japanese to direct affairs, the con- tending armies would have been little better than a rabble. Some interesting statistics have been collected by Vice Consul Arnold at Foochow concerning the great de- cline in China's tea trade. From 1678, when tea was first introduced into England, until 1837, China held ex- clusively the tea trade of the world. Then India began to enter the tea market. The Chinese trade reached high tide in 1886, with a total export of 300,000,000 pounds. In 1884 China furnished about 72 per cent. of the world’s total, India and Ceylon 18 per cent. and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. But in 1904, when the total consumption had increased to 644,- 000,000 pounds, China contributed only 30 per cent., India and Ceylon 60 per cent., Japan and Formosa 10 per gent. The decline in China is as- sWbed to careless methods of cultiva- tign and preparation of the leaf. Nevada is a large gold-producer, but gold has to be dug and prepared for market like other commodities. Just at present Nevada is suffering from a coal famine, and fuel with which to keep going the furnaces which pro- vide power for mining machinery is scarce. That is why mining is checked, and the situation illustrates how one industry is dependent on others. Gold is one of the most valu- able of metals, but it will not dig it- self. Neither will coal. . Japan is planning to send a squad- ron of warships across the Pacific early next year to visit the western ports of the United States, on their way round the world. This will be the first Japanese squadron to make so long @ voyage and the first to carry the Japanese fiag on a warship into many harbors. The Nashville (Tenn.) American ‘thinks that a man who mortgages his house .to pay for his automobile has “wheels in his head. This is the sub- ce of what that paper says.

A queercharacter wasa man [ met once while in Kinsley, Kansas. Where he came from I didn’t find oust, noryes where he was bound. From bis grips and general appear- ance [ juessed him to be a commer- clal traveler. Doubtless he was. When I first saw him he was buy- ing a book ina Kiu-ley store—one of the late novels, neatly and at- sractively bound fn cloth, and be paid for it $1 25 His course us te left the store with his purchase was what nailed my at- tention. He tad the book tn his hands, unwrapped, having waived the parecling of the same ns annec-| essary. tle halted at the door, bent both covers buck and coolly ripped them off and sossed them Into the street, Then he “cut” the volume as one might a deck of cards, about the middle, bent the two halves back Wil they met and then ripped them apart as coolly ashe had torn off the cover. I was naturally astonished. Who was this man? Was he some expur gator? Was the book a menace to morals? I took a quick glance at the discarded covers. It was cone of the best of the recently issued fiction. My man tucked the first halt of his book into thestde pocket of his coat, The other half he thrust into the smaller of his two grips. And then both of us headed for the train, We rode together as far as Hutch- {oson, I purposely selected a seat near him, He raised a window and settled himself comfortably and pull- ed the half book from his pocket. He tore off the first page, laid the rest of the volume beside him on the seat and read the single leaf. From the way his eyes moved 1 saw he was @ “skimmer.” In no time he had finished page 1. I knew that, forhe turned the leaf. And when page 2 was read | knew that, too, for he quietly crumpled up the leaf and tossed it out of the car win- dow. And then he tore off the next leef. And in due sit went tle sume route, And soit weoton. Ali the way from Kiusly to Hatchingen he left trail of crumpled leaves When he had tinished the book the book was finished too.—Kansas City Star, SENATE IN FAVOR OF RAISE Washington, Jan. 28—When it came to the test the senate, far from refusing higher wages, voted down, 17 to 56, an amendment limiting the proposed salary tn- creases to the vice president, speak- er and members of the cabinet, and then concurred {u the house salury increase provision by a vote of 53 to 21. This insures the {nelusion in the legislative appropriation bill of the amendment increasing the salaries of senators aud members of the house to $7,500, and of the vice president, the speaker of the houee and cabinet officers to $12,000. Mr. Berry contended that $5,000 was not a grossly Inadequate salary for senators and members of con- gress, and denied that they could not live on that amount. “There {s not one-half of them,” he declared, ‘“‘who ever could or did make $5,000 a year engaged in any other business.” Moved “Remains.” Clinton Democrat. The last of the Salmon bank was removed irom the old location last night when the contents of the vaults were hauled away to be stored. The two Salmon vaulte were filled with deposit slips, dratte, checke, deposit books, remittance books, ledgers, etc. Among othor things were foundan old leather wallet that had belonged to one Joshua Sweeney and was filled with his private pa- pers, one being a promissory note dated November 12, 1860. The pa- per was well preserved and the writ- ing still legible. James E. Bennett superintended the work and it took five wagon loads to complete the removal of the old bank books. Trustee Daniel F. Blake was repre- sented by C. I. Davis, who has rent- ed the vault on the third floor of the court housein which to store the ‘rematns.” The new bank is about ready to commence business and they acked the clearing out of the vault, They will commence business in a few days. Aa Aineatat, st True American Guiture. Lewis Worthington Smith, dis coursing on culture of the American kind in the current number of The | Reader, says that in this age of short- cuts to everything, schemes for at- j taining culture are as numerous as schemes for getting rich. Having dis- | posed of the illusion that the posses- will make one man y other, Mr large body of good Ameri- established knowledge as the touchstone of personal worth. He Says that it is a good fetish, but that it is not real culture, though he ad- sion of mo just as cans have mits that there might make th nearer to the religic making it their There are, too, some hundreds who bow before it votion, for ad are millions who idolatry one stage n of humanity by object of worship. with a too sincere de- ption of the knowledge has son cult of inconsis: tencies.

Now, it will forever be impossible to per- suade some people that knowledge and intelligence do not constitute culture. Culture is but a state of mind for which knowledge is but a prerequisite, an experience for which intelligence is only the preparation and condition, a perception of the value of things for which things themselves but furnish the opportuni- ty and the occasion. To learn how some delver into the hidden secrets of earth discovered a law of nature is not to be lifted up in spirit with the discoverer as he saw the vital conse- quences to flow from his long search for the elusive truth, To trace the devious course of human emancipa- tion from the shackles of wrong and error is not to grow free ourselves. To know the meaning of some poet- prophet’s message is not to take the divine fire to one’s own breast.
