J SCHOOLS Following lb a comprehensive re view of Japan's excellent school sys tem, from William J. Bryan's last letter from that country. Mr. Bry an says: , 'rww:;..' Back of Japan's astonishing prog ress along material lines lies her amazing educational development. Fifty years ago but few of her people could read or write; now considerably less than 10 per cent would be classed as Illiterate. It Is difficult to conceive of such a transformation taking place almost within a generation. The prompt adoption of western mcthmlB and the rapid assimilation of western Ideas gives Indubitable proof of the pre-exlstence of a vital national germ. A pebble dropped Into soil, however rich, and culti vated no matter how curefully gives back no response to the rays of the springtime sun. Only the seed which has life within can be awakened and developed by light and warmth and care. Japan had within her the vltul spark, and when the winter of her Isolation was passed, her latent ener gies burst forth in Btroug and sturdy growth. Her sons, ambitious to , know the world, scattered themselves through out Europe and America and having laden themselves with new Ideas re turned like bees to the hive. In this way Japan constantly gained from every quarter and her educational sys tem Is modeled after the beHt that the ages have produced. She has her primary schools for boys and girls, attendance being compulsory, and below these In many places there are kindergarten schools. The middle schools In which the boys and girls are separated, take up the course of Instruction where the primary schools leave off. Then fallow the universities, of which there are seven under the con trol of the government. Besides these there are in the cities institu tions known as higher commercial schools, which combine general In struction with such special studies at are taught In our commercial col leges. There are also a number of normal schools for the training of teachers. In addition to the schools and colleges established and conducted by the gov ernment, there are a number founded by Individuals and societies. The largest of these Is Waseda college, founded : and still maintained by Count Okuma, the leader of the pro gressive party. It is adjoining the home of the count and is built upon land which he donated. Dr. Hatoya ma, at one time speaker of the na tional house of representatives, who holds a degree from Tale college, Ik the official head of the Institution; In Enjoy Lifo Good health makes good na ture.

I have already referred In a for mer article of the Kelo Gljuku, the college founded by Mr. Fukuzawa. The attendance here Is not so large as at Waseda, but the Institution has Jiad an lllustrlgus career ana ex erts a wide Influence Upon the coun try. I visited both of these colleges and never addressed more attentive or responsive audiences. As English Is taught In all the middle schools, colleges and universities, the stu dents are able to follow a speech In that language without an Interpreter. The state university at Tokio in cludes six departments, law, medicine and engineering courses being provid ed, as well as courses In literature, science and agriculture. The total number of students enrolled at this university Is about 8S00. The na tional university at Kyoto has three faculties,- law, medicine and science, the last named Including engineering; the attendance at this university Is between 600 and 700. In the states of Choshu and Satsuma there are higher schools supported by funds given by former feudal lords of those states. The education of girls is not neg lected, although as a rule the girls do not go as far In their studies as the boys. There are a number of normal schools and 79 high schools for girls, besides the PeeroBS' school and sev eral private institutions. The Wom an's university of Tokio, situated near Waseda college and under the pat ronage of Count Okuma, has had a phenomenal career. Established only five years ago It has now an enroll ment of some 700, and is putting up several new buildings. There are also a number of mis sionary schools and . colleges. The Presbyterians support three boarding schools for boys and 11 for girls, be sides 10 day schools; the total attend ance at these schools Is nearly 2300. The Congregationalism have a number of schools, the largest, Do Bhlsha college at Kyoto, being the largest and most Influential Christian institution In Japan. I had the pleas ure of visiting both this college and Kyoto university. The Methodists have 18 boarding schools and 19 day schools, with a to tal attendance of nearly S000. Their college at Kobe is a very promising institution. The Baptists have a theological seminary, an academy, tlve boarding schools for girls and eight day schools with a total attendance of nearly 1, 000. The Episcopal church has also taken an Important part In educa tional work, while the Catholics (who were on the ground first) have over 60 seminaries, schools and orphan ages, with an attendance of some 6000. The Japanese government supports more than 25.00 primary schools, at tendPd by more than 5,000,000 boys and girls; It supports more than 250 middle schools, with an attendance of nearly 100,000. While less than 2 per cent of the primary students enter the middle Bchool, more than 10 per cent of the middle school stu dents enter the higher colleges. MEXICAN CEXTUAIi BOND ISSIE.

A solemn duty which we owe society, our children and our selves is that nothing w hich can be done to assist nature at that time when our wives are to become mothers should be left undone. Of all the countless details to be observed at such a time, no single one is of more importance than the bodily welfare of the expectant mother; she must not experience undue suffering through any lack of effort on our part should be the recourse of all real men and women at such times j it Is l easily obtainable, and it is a positive crime not to procure It. Its offices are to relax the muscles and tissues intimately associated In this greatest of the Creator's phenomena, and by simple external application a result it obtained which at the appointedtime permits the mother to undergo her greatest joy with fortitude, and' bring into the world a child worthy of its parents.

' M Is a BlMslnci This R f a tm alar Boat The cold, chilling atmosphere which Sometimes pervades a reception or oth er social gathering Is often entirely dissipated by the hearty, ringing laugh ter of some simple, genuine soul wuo is bubbling over with fun. The stiff ness and constraint which a minute feS?I embarrassed tfeo Sfiole com pah? are rctfevedas if Cymaglc. There is something in genuine, spon taneous humor which removes all re straint, scatters embarrassment, re lieves tension and welds souls together as no Introduction or conversation can. It puts the shy at ease, dissipates prej udice, gives confidence to the timid and reassures the shrinking soul. The cheery smile or the spontaneous laugh awakens sympathy and arouses feel ings of friendliness. It seems to melt all barriers. ' Oh, what riches live in a sunny soul! What a blessed heritage is a suuny face, to be able to fling out sunshine wherever onu goes, to be able to scat ter the shadows and to lighten sorrow ladeu hearts, to have power to send cheer into despairing souls through a suuny and a radiant heart! And If, haply, this heritage is combined with a superb manner and exquisite per sonality, no money wealth cau com pare with its value. This blessing Is not very difficult of acquisition, for a sunny face is but a reflection of a warm, generous heart The sunshine does not appear first upon the face, but in the soul. The glad smile that makes the face radiant is but a glimpse of the soul's sunshine. O. 8. Marden in Success Magazine. UNIQUE FEATS. Odd Physical Tricks That. Peopl. Here and There Can Do. A group of traveling men were dis cussing unique feats and physical tricks that people here and there can do. "J know a Chlcagonn," said one, "who can whistle a tuue and hum its accompaniment at the same time. He whistles through a flat not through the usual round hole, and the deep, musical accompaniment together with the shrill sweetness of the whistle makes a mighty attractive thing to hear." "I knew a barber," said the second drummer, "who had a unique way of cracking nuts. He would place a nut between the back of his head and a stone or brick wall, and then be would give himself a sharp rap on the fore- bead with bis fist The nuts would crack open every time." "A Manayunk man," said the third, "can give his head a jerk that turns back his eyelids. He has to turn them down again with his Angers. This is an ugly feat und I'm glad it is rare." "I knew at school," said the fourth drummer, "a boy named Bucky Ad ams who could play tunes by snapping his fingers. The thumb and first two fingers of each band would work away busily, and forth would come the clear est sweetest faintest music. I UBed to sit with Bucky Adams, and many a tedious school session would he make shorter and pleasanter with this odd gift." New York Press. Pure olive Oil. If olive oil congeals In freezing weather, It Is a sign that It Is adulter ated with lard. Very few bottles of so called olive oil will stand this simple test In fact, we seldom get the pure thing, and. If we did, the chances are that we could not eat it At least that was the experience once upon a time of one woman who used a great deal of mayonnaise dressing upon her table and bad supposed that she doted on olive oil. An Itallnu friend bestowed upon her a flask of the peculiarly green fluid. To her surprise, not oue ot her family, herself Included, could bear Its taste. There was a tang to It which showed them that they bad never eaten olive oil before and that they never wanted to eat it again. So they gave the flask away. New York Telegram. Thackeray's Apology, Thackeray once wrote In a note to a friend, alluding to an Incident occa sioned by oue of his articles In Punch: "I thought over the confounded matter In the railroad and wrote instantly on arriving here a letter of contrition and apology to Heury Taylor for having made what I see now was a flippant and offensive allusion to Mrs. Taylor. I am -glnd I have done It I am glad that so many people whom I have been thinking bigoted and unfair and un just toward me have been right and that I have been wrong, and my mind Is aa Immense deal easier." A Great Idea. "My new play Is sure lo mak. a hit" aid the great actress. "It gives me an opportunity to display twenty new gowns." "Gracious!" exclaimed her friend. "How many acts?" "Only four, but in one of them the scene's at a dressmakar's." Philadel phia Press. Talents. As to the great and commanding tal ents, they are the gift of Providence In some way unknown to us.

Oversight Invalidates Anti-Pass Lau Xow Before tlio People, Some little excitement was raised around the state capltol yesterday when It was discovered that the anti pass bill filed under initiative peti tion by Mr. U'Ren of the People's Power league, and which will take Its Place upon the ballot as Xo. 316-317, Is without the enacting tkiUse, "Be it enacted by the people of the state," which is prescribed by the constitu tional amendment under which this and other laws were Initiated, says the Salem Statesman. Should the supreme court hold to the opinion written by Jistlce Strahan as reported in 14 Oreg&n 365-374 in Stnte vs. Wright and Hurris, any bill without the enacting clause could not he a law, hence a majority vote for It at the polls In its present form would avail nothing. Nor can It be amended now, as the "bill must stand In the same form in which It was signed toy the petitioners. It is mistaken, howrver, to say that It cannot be submlttt-d to vote. Sec retary of State Dunbar has no judi cial power to declare Its form legal or Illegal, his duty being to submit it In the form In which It Is presented to him, provided he is satisfied that the required number of legal voters have signed the petitions. The other bills submitted by peti tion for new laws are provided with enacting clauses, but the amendments to the constitution which have been initlnted are all wlthwut it and there Is a question whether it is necessary in such cases. There seems to be no distinction In the initiative and ref erendum amendment to the constitu tlon between measures for new laws and measures for amending the con stitution, and should the courts hold that the same rules would govern, then nil the constitutional amend ments now proposed would full by reason of the absence of an enacting clause. It Is possible that the courts may hold that so long as the sovereign will of the people Is expressed all defects In manner of submission or other de tails would be cured. Yet such a de cision by the courts would breed carelessness and undigested legisla tion. No matter which way the decision goes, It Is safe to say that the begin ning of endless legal turmoil Is here with the advent of law-making by initiative. To lliilhl Gigantic SmeU-r. San Francisco, Cat, Feb. 21.

It will be one of the largest and best equipped smelters in the country and will give employment to a large number of men. SORES THAT DOm NOT HEAL Whenever a sore or nicer does not heal, no matter on what part of thV body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. Thi poison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble; the effect of a, long spell of sickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak, 1 or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass off through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed into the circulation. It does not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence ot a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, .worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease ; besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection.

Through the use of these they have seen the place begin to heal and scab over, and were congratulating them selves that they would soon be rid of the detestable thing, when a fresh supply of poison from the blood would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out- eiue causes ; ii uiey were, external treatment would cure them. They ai i kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet ' through these places.
