That popular education !h appro c in tod in Japan is evidont from the fact that its 27,000 elementary schools are attended by 3,700,000 pupils. In Sturk County, Ohio, twenty one infunts have been named Dewey, and it is estimated that there are nearly 2,000 Dewey babies in Ohio. A Portland man who owns a two headed calf, which in alive and hearty, has refused $10,000 for tb prodigy. Now the question is which is the greater freak, the calf or its owner? . (ieneral Otis ha made requisi te n to tho War Department for 4,000 horses for use in the Philip pines. Much difficulty is found in securing transportation for so many animals, and it is supposed that no more than 2,000 horses will be sent. The inont novel branch of the ci.y government of Manchester, Eng land,, is a corps of lionet-keepers, who can be employed by the occu pants, of store?, Hat houses, ofiieo rooms and residences to overhaul and clean their establishments as often as desired. i.:. . It is doubtful if anyone has more gold and silver than the Pope. I; is declared that were he to melt down all the metals, chains, vessels and other objects preserved in the Vatican the amount of gold ob tained would make more coins than the whole of the present European circulation. According lo a report just ieeued the Treusury Bureau of Statistics, Great Britian in 1897 exported to colonies merchandise of the value of more than $400,000,000, or about one-third of the total of her expor- tationp, and took f oui the same sources $450,000,000 worth of goods, or about one-fifth of all her imports. Immigration is increasing at a rate which promises to bring the average of monthly arrivals up to the high-water mark before long. If the preee.it rate is maintained 600, 000 foreigners will be landed in the United States this year. The laws governing immigration are being enforced, but it is doubtful if they are stringent enough to keep out the undesirable element. The Kansas City Star points mora in this wise; "Major-General Otis, who is variously estimated as a great general and a great failure, probably remembers, with some de gree of satisfaction, that, after the battle of Shiloh, General Grant was denounced an an utter failure, and that there was a loud olamor for his removal." Rome was not made in a day, nor is it possible to whip even an inferior enomy in a holy minute. , . , An exchange Bays that an old church member died, of whose good ness there was some doubt, but who was regarded as a pillar by the pastor,-who posted on the ohuroh window a notice in these word6 "Brother JohnBon departed for heaven at 4 :!i0 this a. ui," and an nounced the funeral. Underneath this Bomeone tacked a telegraph blank with these words: "Heaven, 9:40 p. m. Johnson not yet arrived. Great anxiety." . , . .. ; The wife of Captain Dreyfus has a better spirit than hia Christian persecutors it might be called the Christian spirit if she wore not a Jewess. Certainly it is the spirit of Christ who was a Jew. Sh says: "I shall forgive every one NO. 30. when my husband is liberated. Enough have suffered already in this terrible busiDOBS. It has left its mark on no many hearts, so many homes, that there shall be oblivion so far as I am concerned." A Tacomu judge tried a case by telephone, found the man guilty and fined him $5. Admiral Dewey has accepted the invitation of Mayor Van Wyck to be the guest of the city of New York upon his arrival there. He expects to arrive about October 1st. India's area of wheat farms is now about two-thirds as large as that of the United States. The wheat is still threshed by being trodden out by bullocks and buffaloes. With a population of 4,500,000 Holland successfully conducts colo nies containing over 33,000,000 in habitants. If we should cast the Philippines adrift, the rush for them in Europe would be general. , The women of a Kansas town have decided to wear . trousers in stead of skirts, bloomers, or other! female coverings for the pedal ex tremities, owing, as they say, to the severe winds prevailing there. Such action would create quite a breeze in any town. : Admiral George Dewey, through his attorney, has filed a suit in the District Court in the District of Columbia, to recover the prize money due him and the officers and men of his fleet for the vessels sunk in Manila bay. . The amount covered by the suit is 1750,000. , The Fresno Republican says a Chicago jury found that a prize fighter who was knocked down and died on the spot, bad died, from natural causes. It was a San Fran cisco coroner's jury which found that an old man who was knocked down by a drunken politician and died of a broken sBull, bad been killed by the pavement and not by the blow. And it was a Fresno jury, we trims, many years s go, which decided that a man who drank whiskey all day and one glass of ice-water at night, and then fell dead, had been killed by the ice water. Evidently there is no lack of modern instances of the "crowu er's quest, law," which was already famous in Shakespeare's time. The war department haB in structed Major James B. Ayleshire, who purchased the government cavalry horses for the Spauish- American war, to buy 3000 horseB for cavalry use in the Philippines. He will look to the Chicago market Bret, and then, it ib said, selection will be made of Texas ponies cal culated to endure the . troptoal climate. The drove will be shipped to Seattle and embark on a fleet of 16 transports, which will sail for Manila, via the Aleutian islands, Alaska, and Nagasaki, Japan. The idea of the roundabout trip is to give the horses intervals of rest. Troop commanders at Fort Sheri dan state that "the chosen route solves the problem of successful transportation of horees of the East ern hemisphere. . The latest invention for the com' fort ot baby, and iucideutally for the comfort of parents, is a ham mock swuug from the footboard of the bed on davits, as lifeboats are hung on shipboard.'- A baby placed in such a hammock is in no danger of its parents rolling over on it and smothering it to death, aB is' some times done, and if it gets , restless papa merely hooks his great toe in th netting and swings the ham mock to and fro', crooning, "Hush-a-by. baby, nn the tree top,"- till baby quiets down. If he swings a little too hard, and baby tumbles out on the bed, no harm is done, and papa croons on, "Down comes baby and hammock and all." Tnis is an improvement on the old style of walking he floor in one's night shirt with the baby till morning, preserves the feet from laceration and reduces profanity. Fine JOB WORK.,. Of -every description FOR EVERYBODY Si' Nnt1y, completely and cheaply ox ecu ted by The Medford Mail The Preacher Fought. . The San Francisco Examiner up on the return of the Oregou Volun teers gave a personal mention of." many of Ihe brave lads and among others was this :' , '.' "But spjaking about fighters,' said one of the Oregoiiians Thurs day, 'let me invite a little bit of at tention to this chaplain of ours. In every one of our forty-two engage- , ments Chaplain Gilbert was away up on the firing line and just simply making things hum. It didn't seem to matter what sort of work he had to do. He handle! a Springfield or psalm book with equal facility. and when it comes to counting up the heroes of our campaign Chap lain Gilbert should be close to No. I've seen him many a time at the frout stirring our boys to greater effort and helping to carrv the wounded to the rear. - He did some thing rather noteworthy and in a measure amusing during the Mala- bon affair. Several of us who were near the line of fire found that our water' supply was exhausted. We couldn't very ' well ' retreat ' and searched the neighborhood until we found an old well. The well had plenty of water in it, but the water was forty-five feet below the- Burface and there seemed no way to get at it. But the chaplain was great on experiments." He got a long bamboo pole, rested one end of -it on the well bottom, and then pro ceeded to climb down to the water "It was a huzardous. undertaking ::'. but that didn't seem to bother the clergyman. He would not be fright ened by our suggestion that a bam boo pole was a dangerous thing to get into a dark well with. He worked his way down cautiously and succeeded in reaching the water without accident.' Then he filled several of our canteens arid after great difficulty reached Ihe top of the pole. It should be known, too, that bullets were singing all around us at the time he went after the water. Sojie of the men have jok ingly, asserted that the ohaplain was looking for truth, or safety, perhaps, at the bottom of the wellv but that is purely a Joke. - It was really a very fine piece of work and Chaplain Gilbert has not yet heard the end of complimentary reference to it." : The New York World , asserts that Major General Otis has offered a reward of $30 to every native Filipino who shall surrender to tlw . United States a firearm of anjr. de -8cription, . . ; When it comes to a hand-to-hand ' ' ' fight between American . soldiers -and the savages of Panay, who were the terror of the Spanish regu- -lars, the rebels go to the wall. A specimen fight, about the only ons -which has taken place in thfr Phil ippine campaign, has just ooou.tctd ,s at Bobong, Seventy American reg"' lars beat off 450 insurgents antt"" with the loss of only one killed and one wounded they killed 115 of the enemy and wounded many.
