Greeds in Japan-
Ttie Japanese regard Christianity
as anj unintellectual rel gion accord
ing tj> Harold Boice, who writes in
Appjeton’s Magazine. But then
FukUzawa tellt him: “Religion is
like tjea; it serves a social end, noth-
ing ijnore.”
At the Nippon Club in Tokio,
Harijid Boice nad the opportunity ot
laikibg at length with a native au-
thor of many books, and I asked him
to tejii me frankly wherein the Jap-
anese considered themselves more
advajneed intellectually than Amei-
ica. j He regarded the subject very
seriojusly.
“<f)ne fact is sufficient to prove
thatithe Japanese have taken higher
groujnd than any other people,” said
he. j“ Agnosticism, which is the only
logical attitude tor a modern mao to
assufne toward the mystery of birth
and life and death, is a point ot view
reached in the United States only by
j most advanced professors in
you* universities ; whereas in Japan
it 1^ the thought ot the masses.
Moreover, your Christian propagan-
dist^ in America are so unalert to the
philosophical progress of japan as
natipn that missionaries are sent
therie to preach a gospel ot miracles
and mythology—a mass ot doctrine,
in tljie form of Hebrew fables and
traditions, which would never make
the slightest appeal to t e scientific
Japanese mind, and which, in fact,
the best thinkers in your own uni
verities repudiate.”
The facts that Sunday is officially
a djav of rest in Japan, and that
Chtirch and State heve been prac-
tically separated, have given the
missionaries undue cause for elation.
It true, too, that the Young Men’s
Christian Association has tound fa
vorjin Japan, conspicuously because
of ija social service to the soldiers
during the recent war with Russia.
It if interesting and' characteristic,
however, that side by side with this
Western organization is developing
the!Young Men’s Buddhist Associa-
tion of Japan. This latter organiza-
tion includes everything that is
taujght in the Young Men’s Chris-
tian Association, and, in addition
thereto, familiarizes its members
witjh the hygienic ideals ot Bud
dhijsm, and conducts summer
schools.”

Canning Industry.
Lditor W. T. Gsss, of the Fannin
Cojunty Democrat, called at the
Gazetteer office and presented the
editor with a case of Ravenna brand
of plums, put up at Ravenna, a little
town of only 600 people, east of
nison twenty miles. The plant
nas been in operation only one month
the astonishing output is as tol
iofvs: 60,000 cans blackberries;
25,000 cans plums ; 40,000 c
peaches; 15,000 cans’beans.
Waples-Platter wholesale grocery
house, of this city, has placed an or-
der for six car loads. Fort Worth
and Dallas have also placed large
orders. There is no trouble at all
disposin'* of the products. The
pljant gives employment to about
forty people. They expect to oper-
ate until the holidays.
Their prices are : $1.50 per 100
ppunds for beans; good peaches,
5c cents per bushel; blackberries,
ig cents per gallon ; plums, 50 cents
per 100 pounds. They will also be
able to handle okra, pumpkins,
sWeet potatoes etc., in season, and
later will can large quantities ot
hominy.
Here is illustrated the advantages
of the home market and the benefit
tej the farmer. If the little town of
Rjavenna can operate successfully a
canning plant of that magnitude,
wlhat is the matter with Denison
stepping into the ring? We under
stand that the Ravenna products are
viry superior; in fact, better than
njany of the fancy Northern .brands
tljat promise so much in their gorge-
ous fancy labels. Editor Gass tells
the whole truth in the following ed-
itorial in connection with the Ra
vfmna canning industry:
“Every farmer should avail him-
self of this opportunity to sell all of
b|s surplus products and at the same
time turn into cash fruit and vegeta-
bles that have heretofore rotted on
h^s bands or been led to his hogs. It
ajso builds up a permanent home
market. Patronize and build up
home industries and keep your
Cooney at home—it will come beck
to you again.”
The Denison Board of Trade,
syhich seems to be loaded down with
new enterprises, should look well
After this canning plant industry. If
dur memory serves us right, the can-
ning plant proposition was a fore-
gone conclusion over me year ago,
And that is the laat that we have ever
heard of it. The canning industry
should be revived, Mr. Larkins.

tract with him in hphalt of the

Graduation Dresses-
The cause ot practical educa-
tion matches on. Superintendent
Cooley, of the Chicago school sys-
tem, has advanced the idea that the
graduation dresses of the Chicago
high school girls should be made by
themselves under the direction of tbe
sewing teachers, each school decid
ing upon a class color to be woven
into the dress.
The idea L, of course, splendid
and should be adopted throughout
the country where sewing is part of
the training imparted by the public
schools. It will give additional in-
terest to sewing as one of the things
all girls should learn and will tend
to bring about improvements in
other directions which are greatlv
needed.
ORIGIN OF CHINESE LILIES.
Story as Told and How the
Brought Good Luck.
Bulba

Go to Chris Waltz and leave your

Very tew people who see and admire
the beautiful Chinese lilies know the
reason why this particular flower is
held in such favor in the orient. This
is the story of the origin as told by a
Chinaman.
Years and years ago a member of
the celestial empire had two wives
whom he loved dearly because each
had borne him a son While they were
still lads tbe father died and in set
tling up the estate some difficulty was
encountered, for the man left his heirs
two pieces of laud, one a strip lying in
a fertile and beautiful valley, the
other a small ribbon of land bordering
the bed of a narrow stream. The for-
mer land was known to grow anything
the country produced, while the latter
was counted utterly worthless.
It was at first proposed that each of
the two strips be divided in half and a
section of each be given to the two
heirs. Rut the mothers could not agree
upon the division and it was finally
arranged that one son should take the
rich land, while the other should take
the sterile piece.
The valley strip yielded bountiful
harvests season after season and the
rocky one gave nothing until one day
the boy owner happened to notice
tiny white, sweet-scented flower
blooming among the rocks and after
a careful study and examination it was
found to be the only one of its kind in
China. The flower grew from a bulb
and the boy discovered that these
bulbs could be transplanted to similar
rocky soil without destroying their
growth.
Soon the bulbs were in great de-
mand and when it was learned that
the flowers brought good luck to the
owner of the plant the boy had all he
could do to supply the market. From
the sale of the bulbs he grew enor-
mously wealthy; while his brother
never made more than a good living
out of his valley property.
Many Biographies of Irving.
H D. Irving and his brother Lau-
rence Irving, are to publish a biog-
raphy of the late Sir Henry Irving.
No less than six books have been
written about Sir Henry since hia
death, and there are at least two oth-
ers to follow—one by Austin Rrereton
and another by Joseph Hatton. The
final life by the sons will not be pub-
lished for several years, and for satis-
factory reasons. It promises to be an
important book, for both sons have
demonstrated that they have literary
ability.
People have no idea ot the acre-
age devoted to the peanut around
Denison. There are hundreds ot
acres planted. Peanuts in the field
command $1 per bushel. The prin
cipal buyer is at Sherman.
There was more noise on the
streets ot Denison on the Fourth
than in many previous years. The
usual proclamation was not issued
by tbe Mayor.
Scott & Burch, furniture dealers
have leased the building now occu-
pied by Eastbam's shoe store, and
will move their stock there shortly.
Patties who have been tiaveling
throughout the Indian Territory, re-
port that the wild turkey crop is very
scarce this year. Pot hunters are
killing out the mother birds and the
little ones perish. It frequently hap-
pens that a turkey ben is snot and
killed on her nest.
Many farmers are complaining of
the ravages of the boll worms A
writer in the Farm and Ranch gives
timely advice. He says: “Sum-
mer plowing is the thing to kill
weevil. Plow single so that the
singletree on the double shovel will
knock them off, and when the plow
comes along they are covered up
Last year we had twenty acres in
cotton, and plowing late we got fif-
teen bales, while the man just across
the “turn row” had in about fifteen
acres and got four or five bales, and
he quit plowing early.”

Modern Scientists May Be Forced to
Rehabilitate It.
More than a hundred years have
elapsed since Renjamin Franklin, em-
ploying a phraseology now superseded,
put forth a theory of matter, says a
writer in Current Literature It was
pronounced "a delusion" by the physi-
cists of the ninteenth century, but the
scientists of the twentieth century, ac-
cording to Sir Oliver Lodge, may be
forced to rehabilitate it as the only
means of issue from the labyrinth in
which all physical study is now involv-
ed. Stripped of technical verbiage and
put briefly, the Franklin theory is that
electricity and matter In combination
form a neutral substance, which is the
atom of matter as we know it. The
most interesting part of the problem
for ourselves, sayB Sir Oliver, is the
explanation of matter in terms of elec-
tricity, the view that electricity, as
Franklin seems to have supposed, the
fundamental ■'substance.” What we
men of to-day have been accustomed
to regard as an indivisible atom of
matter is thus built up out of elec-
tricity Ail atoms—atoms of all sorts
of "substances"—are built up of the
game thing In our day, to put tt more
clearly, the theoretical and proximate
achievement of what philosophers
from Franklin's day to ours have al
ways sought—a unification of matter

SERVANT PROBLEM IN CUBA.
Cook Is In Sole Charge of the Domea-
tic Cusine.
The Cuban matron has little to say
tn the management of her own house-
hold. as the family literally board
with their cook, who has sole control
of the cusine When a cook is en-
gaged she is paid so much per month
110, $15 or $20, as the case may be
for her work She at once Inquires
how much is allowed for the market-
ing, which she is to do each morning
On being told, she figures out how
much she can save from the amount,
and if the graft amount to say 15 or 20
cents per day, she is likely to accept
the position She rarely sleeps at the
house, and usually has a family of her
own who are fed from the larder of
her employer Early breakfast is
light—fruit, rolls and coffee—and at
noon there is a meal known as late
breakfast, which resembles the Ameri-
can luncheon. When this is finished
the cook spends a few hours at her
home and returns at five o'clock in
time to prepare dinner. A half-grown
girl is employed to wait on the table,
answer the door bell, etc. In some
families male cooks are employed. If
the meals do not suit the master of
the house he adds more money to the
marketing allowance—Mrs. C. R Mil-
ler, in Leslie s’ Weekly.

One day Robert Herrick the novel-
ist. was impressing upon his class in
English literature, in the University of
Chicago, the importance of reading
what had been written with a purpose
and had character and power. He con-
trasted forcefully such literature with
the light, vapid, frivolous sort that
seemed to appeal to such a large per-
centage of readers He then asked
each student to tell him frankly which
kind he was reading After nearly all
had confessed to something light, he
