As you see no trace of a blue color on the animal you wonder at th queer discrimination called “grading. Then the man will explain that furs obtatned in the fall are blue or un- prime.

Much of the fire and vim of the demonstrations of ur years ago have disappeared. Invariably the method used by the students to bring about their wishes has been the manipulation of public opinion _through public demonstra- tions. The press In China is still in its Infancy, so that the shout of thou- sands on the streets of Peking, Shanghai or some other city is the shout heard and heeded by govern- ment officials.

There Is no doubt about where the “bullhead” gets its namse, for it has a very broad head, with sharp, stiff horns above its eyes. The “boarfish,” which is not often heard of, has a head somewhat like a boar, with its mouth at the end of a turned-up “snout.”” The “eagle ray" has fins that spread out like eagles’ wings. The “parrot fish” has parrot- llke jaws and a brilliant coloring much ltke that of a parrot, while the “wolf fish,” unlike most fish, has teeth which he uses as feroclously as his he was 80 hot all the time.

This, you will realize, 15 taller than the average man.’ Often the ostrich grows to a height beyond that of the common Indian pony or polo pony. When fully grown the ostrich weighs from 150 to 400 pounds, depending on its breeding and handling. It is, of course, the long legs of the ostrich which extend his height.

Slower and slower became the re- itreat of the police until they had imingled with the group walting at tho gates Then came the change. The ' police, now several hundred strong, began striking out at the students with their fists. Not a po- liceman had a revolver, not one drew the long sabre from the scabbard waich nung at his side, but the rain |of biows from their doubled fists and the sting of the leather belts which they had removed and were using as weapons soon turned the tide of bat- tle. The students retreated. In a few moments only fiftéen or twenty of the students remained near the gates, and the were arguing with the po- lice, explaining that they had come to parliament to demand the dirmis- sal of the minister of education he- |cause he had perverted the law of the natlon. Sacrifices Post for Cause. Thelr hero leader, the chancellor of the national university, had resigned his ! post in protest to the corruption of the minister. He had sacrificed himself for the sake of good government in China, and they, his students and followers, could do naught else but cast their lot with his and try to rectify the crime and save other innocent officials from being made the victims of political per- scrap heap—an’ do it now!” said he Brother Raccoon was mad clear through. In a few minutes all the old hoes, on the scrap heap, and most of the hands were working away with one eye on Brother Raccoon and the other on his overseer. The next day ten hands were report- ed on the sick list, and Brother Rac- coon took down his knobby walking stick again. “Bring in all & ole, lame, halt an mangy fleld hosses,” said he—refer- ring to the guinea pigs—"an’ have ‘em put on a sawdus’ and spring wa- tah diet.” So all the disabled guinea plgs were brought in and turned into the cow pasture. On the day following this elght of the fleld hands were reported as “un- fit for duty.” Brother Raccoon walk- ed to the center of his corn fleld and bawled over to “Gumshoe Billy,” his overscer: “Billy,” sald Brother Raccoon, “I'm on my way to & late breakfus. When 1 comes back I wants all &’ ole, lazy shit'less, good-for-nothin’, gold-brick- in’ fahm hands fetched in and giver a taste of tar, feathers and number fo'ty-seven birdshot.

The injection of students into politics is, in essence, not a wise measure. They are immature and easily led. But the student movement in China has re- sulted in_far more good than it h | harm, and is one of the most promisin; | signs” for the future in that nation Mistakes have been made, undoubtedly but in the main the students have championed causes of persons that were for the good of the nation. They pos- zess a certain idealism which may make them Impractical but which also makes them stumble blindly in the direction of better government and the upbuilding of their nation's honor. Flower Feast \HE month of November brings to Japan one of the great festivals of the year—the feast of the chrys- anthemums. Japan I8 a country famous for its gorgeous flowers. The chrysanthemum 1is the royal flower of the nation. Fall in Japan {s very beautiful. The Japanese say that the maples are the crimson clouds that hang about the sunset of their flower life. People flock at this time to the chrysanthe- mum gardens where the gigantic dis- plays are arranged. Not only are there exhibits of unusually large and rare varieties, but huge pictures have been fashioned from thousands of blooms. The making of pictures among Japanese gardeners has been learned through generations. Son, father and grandfather have all been students of the craft. There are pictures that tell stories— pictures of Japanese gods and god- desses, mads entirely from flowers, except for the faces, which are paint- ed masks. There are demons, dragons, flags and all kinds of fancies. The pictures are made on bamboo frames, or the planists have been tralned to BTow over bambo poles, so that with their blooming a picture is formed. ————— Poliyanna Says. “Cheer up!

It 1s too early to estimate the scope f service legislation that will be iresented for the consideration of forthcoming Congress. There however, certaln measgures for he benefit and efficlency of the Na- eive careful consideration. The law provides National Guard unit can be mustered or pay a certain percentage of he enlisted personnel must be pre- iented and participate in a certain rumber of formations over a specified serfod. In &ome instances It is most diffi- wult to comply literally with this irovision and have all the men re- juired on a specific assembly evenlng, whereas if there could be two or more assemblies a week it is possible that the required percentage could be made up with little difficulty and the attendance record greatly in- creased. * Ancther important subject that should be settled for ali time ls the matter of commissioning the officers of the Natlonal Guard. Exhaustive studies have been made on the sub- ject and the law should be adjusted 50 that the National Guard may pass from a peace-time to a war-time or- zanization with little or no read- ‘ustment and without having to re- commission officers in the federal service. The enlistment period In the Na- tional Guard of one year imposes a burden of recruiting on organization commanders, for which rellef should be'forthcoming. By authorizing one to three year enlistments many of the troubles of the situation would be re- tieved. Under the present law the National Guard soldier may qualify for eight drills monthly, while the officer may qualify for only five. Thero is a demand for legislation that will permit the officer to qualify and recelve pay for the same number of monthly drill periods as the sol- dier and there seems to be mo good and sufficlent reason why he should not do so. Another point that comes up in connection with the drill pay is that of allowing compensation for a frac- tional part of a month. This Is in- tended to cover drill periods at- tended during the remainder of the month following enlistment or for those attended during the month in which the soldier receives his dis- charge. Among the other provisions being considered are those to provide cer- tain limited mall franking privileges, the appointment of assistant dis- bursing officers for states large National Guard forces; reim- bursement for traveling expenses and commutation of subsistence for offi- cers and enlisted men traveling on National Guard duty: to provide for a Natlonal Guard reserve: to author- ize warrant officers in the National Guard; to empower National Guard summary court officers to administer oaths in connection with the admin- BumsteaosWormsyrup “To children an angel of mercy.”” Where directions are followed, IT NEVER FAILS.
