Religion la an inward spirlt- ual activity, having for Its char- actera Increased light, lucre aa- ed life, increased sympathy. It Is not a smattering of Greek, as charged by the scoffers. It Is an enrichment of life, enlarge- ment, spiritual power. It has the same aim as culture the broadening and purification of human ideals! Neither religion nor culture are selfish, although individuals pretending to have both, are supremely selfish. Perfection in religion or cul- ture is not possible as long as the individual is isolated In sel- ftshness the penalty of selfish- ness is to be stunted in mind and soul and In the achleve- ment of life's highest aim. Matthew Arnold. WHY JAPAN Ml TRIUMPH. In the Outlook for October S. George Kennan. the famous American traveler, draws a comparative sketch of Korea and Japan, which gives a keen insight into the vast difference j in the national life of those two Ori ental countries. After reading of the virile activity of Japan as compared to the slugKish slothfulness and almost national im becility of Korea, it is not difficult to understand the repeated triumphs of Japan. Mr. Kenna says: Although the strait that separates Japan from Korea is only about a hundred miles in width, the countries that it d.vides are surprisingly differ ent in appearance and topography, as well as in the character of their In habitants. Both arc mountainous and both are fringed with islands, but in almost every other respect they are unlike. The mountains in Japan are extreme ly Irregular and picturesque in form, and are either wooded with forests of maple, cedar, and pine, or cut Into narrow, step-like terraces of cultiva tion. In Korea the coast mountains stand In long, wavlly nerrated ranges, are almost Invariably treeless, and show no signs of cultivation whatever. The whole coast of Japan is sprink led with neat and thriving . villages, while the coast of Korea, so far as one can see It from the deck of a passing steamer, is apparently uninhabited. In Japan every picturesque Island, headland or promontory fs crowded with the white tower of a lighthouse, while In Korea I did not see a light house between Quelpart Island and Chemulpo. Along the coast of Japan the sea Is fairly whitened with the sails of en terprising fishermen, but off the west' em coast of Korea one sees only, now and then, a big two-masted Junk, of a type that is at least three centuries old. 80 far as climate and fertility of soil are concerned, Korea equals and nerhaos surpasses Japan; but In all the characteristics that are the out' growth and flower of human endeav or, the "The Land of Morning Calm1 ' is ages behind Its wide-awake, ener getic, and progressive neighbor. GIVING AWAY THEIR BRAINS, partment of agriculture, has exhibit ed In a thrilling manner this broad, self-sacrifice of the public servant.. He recently discovered and patent ed a system of soli inoculation by which plants gather nitrogen from the air -mid deposit It in the - ground. Thus certain kinds of plants, that have a tendency to supply nutriment to the soli, are grafted with nitrogen nodules, which attach themselves to the roots, draw nitrogen from the air and distribute it In the ground. This is a priceless discovery, and one which might have made a fortune for its discoverer, but after having patented the system, Mr. Moore deeded it to the United States gov ernment without cost,' to be enjoyed perpetually by the people. The department of agriculture is now prepared to ship these nitrogen gathering nodules to farmers In every part of the country. The poorest land may be Inoculated with them, sunshine will be drawn down Into the roots of the plants such as clover, peas, beans, vetch and alfalfa, and soil energy for future crops will thus be stored. Fertility cun be increased by Inoc ulutlun. The barren and wornout lands can be revived and Impregnated with nitrogen. The government gets the benefit of the intellect of this great chemist and instead of selfish ly hoarding his store of learning, he spreads It In a .perpetual glory upon his country for the benefit of man kind. . In other departments of the gov ernment, the same broad self-sacrifice In scientific lines Is exhibited. In chemistry. In geology. In ethnology. In irrigation, drainage, stock breeding, plant and tree life, and a thousand other useful branches of human sci ence, able and persistent searchers are dedicating their lives to the government, for pitiful salaries that dwarf Into Insignificance when com pared to the matchless wonders of their achievements for mankind. The utter lack of selfishness umoug this class of scientists Is one of the refreshing oases In the history of an otherwise monotonous service. In connection with the suit for damages against Pendleton because of the delivery of the city sewage pn a certain tract of land near town, it might be interesting to note that a tract of land in Lomlmrdy, Italy, on which the sewage of a large city Is discharged, has been fertilized by the sewage to such an extent that the In come from the meadows is J.'loa per acre, the land rents at $125 per acre annually, and support a population of SOU to the square mile. The same meadows have been in cultivation for 700 years and are 100 per cent more productive now than before the sew age was used as a fertilizer. The city Pendleton should be paid well for Its sewage, instead of paying damages to those who get the benefit of It. The East Oregnnian would be de lighted to see Umatilla county legis lators make an attempt to break the present public school course of study nd reduce the branches taught In each grade by fully one-third. From 0 to 12 studies for 12-year-old pu pils. In the sixth and seventh grades, outrageous. It is impossible for them to digest this number of studies. They are crippled In an attempt to get some knowledge out of all and, get no good results from any. Books are voraciously completed in a fort night that should be studied for months. Teachers can do nothing but follow the law. They can's give the scholar more capacity. GIVING AWAY Till In the employ of the United States government are several hundred pro fessional men of the highest rank. who are literally giving their brains and life work to the people. They are under salary while .per forming their work, but the priceless discoveries they make, the high re sults they achieve In science, are all the property of the people. OthersclentlsU sacredly guard their discoveries, and sell them at enormous prices; other professional men are selfish and mercenary In all their ex pertinents. But the services of these men belong to the people the find' ir.g of their brains become the com mon prooerty of the United States government. ' - Prof. Oeorge T. Moore, of the de- It later," said others. "They never ventured to return It Is there; burled to this day." And the superstitions of the neighborhood have Invested the spot with the weird fascination of Captain Kldd's treasure, or the burled box of gold on Neacurney. "He was killed by his French serv ant." said the Lewis family. Later, when Pernla visited Charlottesville and sent word to Locust Hill, Meri wether's mother refused to see him. John Marks, half-brother of Meri wether Lewis, went Immediately to the scene of the tragedy, but nothing more could be done or learned. Pro ceeding to St. Louis, the estate was settled. When at last the trunks ar rived at Washington they were found to contain Journals, papers on the protested bills, and the well known spy-glass used by Lewis on the expe dition. Hut there were no valuables nor money. Years after. Meriwether's sister and her husband unexpectedly met Pernla on the streets of Mobile, and Mary recognized In his possession the William Wirt watch and the guu of her brother. On demand they were promptly surrendered. In the lonely heart of Lewis county, Tenn., stands today a crumbling gray stone monument with a broken shaft of limestone erected by the state on the spot where, in the thirty-fifth year of his age, Meriwether Lewis met his death. In solitude and desolation, moss overlies his tomb, but his name lives on, brightening with the years. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. In "The Conquest." WATCHERS MY THE SEA. Alone on the shore of the Infinite sea, Searching the vista of ocean and sky, Are those who nre destined forever to be Watchers for vessels that never draw night. Still waiting for ships that He over the line. Ships that lie over beyond the deep blue. Where whlte-bosomed clouds on the billows recline. Screening their argosies aye from our view. Awaiting the glint of a feathery sail Flapping Its greeting in joyous re frain Hut the hell-buoys toll to the sad sen gale. Vain are our hopes ah, we wait but in vain! And straining our vision to catch hut a dream Transient at best of the phantom like fleet. We heed not the glow of the treasures that gleam Trodden, unseen. In the sands at nur feet. We watch and we wait fin- the Never-to-IIe. Keckless of what hath the Present in store. We search for the ships on the broad, barren sea Passing the pearls In the shells of the shore. We pass by the Joys that He ever at hand; Strangers are we. e'en' to those of our kin; . We reap not the wealth of the soil where we stand, Watting for ships that will never come In. ' Speed Mosby, In San Francisco- Star. It Is amusing to see people start out to hunt mushrooms as a sport while It Is pouring down rain. If it were necessary to drive 16 mllea through the rain on a cold business errand, It would be considered a task worthy of a Cernegie hero medal. DEATH OF CAPTAIN LEWIS. A hero of his country was dead; the governor of Its largest territory dead; on his way to Washington, where fresh honors awaited him- dead; far from friends and kindred, in a wild and boundless forest- Did he commit suicide In a moment of aberration, or was he foully mur dered by an unknown hand on that 11th day of October, 1808? President Jefferson, who had observed signs of melancholy In him In early life, favor ed the Idea of suicide, but In the im mediate neighborhood the theory of murder took Instant shape, where was Joshua Grinder? Where were those servants? Where was Neely himself? "I never for a moment entertained the thought of suicide," said his mother, when she heard the news. "His last letter was full of hope. was to live with blm in St. Louis.' Of all men in the world why should Meriwether Lewis commit suicide? The question has been argued for a hundred years and Is today no nearer solution than ever. Old Grinder killed him ana goi nis monev." said tne neignoors. no he was well dressed and evidently a oerson of distinction and weaun. Orlnder was arrested and tried, but no proof could be secured.

I had severe Bhooting pains throught the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation com pelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia JG. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine -vere true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. uMy heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have done me."

PiNKnAM: It seems to me that all the endorsements that I have read of the value of Lydia li. Pinkham's Compound do not express one-half of the virtue the great medicine really possesses. I know that it saved my life and I want to give the credit where it belongs. I suf fered with ovarian trouble for five years, had three operations and spent hundreds of dollars on doc tors and medicines hut this did not cure me after all. "However, what doctors and medicines failed to do, Lydia K. Pinkliara's Vegetable Com pound did. Twenty bottles restored me to per fect health and I feel sure that had I known of its value before, and let the doctors alone, I would have been spared all the pain and expense that fruitless operations cost me. If the women who are suiloring, and the doctors do not help them, will try Lydia E. l'inklmm's Vege table Compound, they will not be disappointed with the- results. Miss Clara M.
