The publication ot the hlatorjr of the Rajkumar college of Kathiawar In western India has drawn Into prominent notice the movement for the education of the chiefs and princes of India which wsj commenced ago on the model of the English public schools. The work, which has been sumptuously got up. gives a complete record of the growth of the movement up to date and serves as a book of reference both with regard to the dally work carried on in that seminary and the two generation of youths who have passed through its portals. In this way it amply testifies to the success which has been achieved by the institution since its foundation, of which many of the reigning chiefs of western India themselves furnish living examples. As a rule the present generation of these princes may be regarded as a notable improvement upon their preback, for decessors of although it may not be possible by the methods of western education to inculcate in them a higher degree of the ordinary courtesies of life which ; are inherent In the oriental of the noble type they are doubtless better fitted than their forefathers were to realize and discharge the obligations that lie upon them as responsible administrators. As leaders of society in their own territories some of them have set noble examples in the way of social and educational reforms by breaking through old customs and superstitions which have cramped the lives of their women for centuries. The compiler of the history himself has been one of them, and the bestowal of the coveted distinction of the crown of India on the Maharanee of Ilhavnagar by bis majesty at the imperial Durbar was a fitting recognition Besides of her husbands efforts to elevate the status of Indian women. being a successful administrator the Maharajah Bhavsinhji is fond of literal y pursuits as the history of his alma mater testifies, and he deserves to proofs he has been giving of the benefit te ccngratulated on the many-sidehe derived from his training there. He is, moreover, a keen lover of music, a fearless rider, and an excellent shot. y d Although the family and physician of Vice President Sherman declare be has so far recovered from his recent illness that his condition is no longer dangerous, it is certain he will not return te Washington during this ses- -' vion of congress and will take no active part in the campaign. Tor the first time in thirty years he has beett forced to give, ap all attention cither to business or politics end is compelled to take a thorough rest cure. For a time his family feared the notification of hla nomination, which will take place at Utica, N. Y., August SI, would have to he deferred. Thla was after Mr. Sherman waa stricken with heart trouble, the first time in hia life there had been detected any weakness of that organ, at hla summer home at Big Moose lake, June 26. He was removed immediately to hia home at Utica, aa it waa believed the high altitude had an injurious effect. Tor a time hia condition was such as to alarm his friends, but toi the last few days be has been decidedly better, and has been able to take automobile rides every day. He Is permitted to see his friends, but It must be in the afternoon, and all business matters are tabooed. The local committee la going ahead with the arrangements for the notification, and If his improvement Is as marked aa It has been for the last few weeks, there is no reason to think the arrangements will have to .be changed. "I am not at liberty to say much about Mr. Sherman's condition, said Dr. H. Peck, hla physician, the other day, "but I can say there has been a decided improvement. I see now no reason why the notification cannot take place on August 21, as arranged. That la a month from now, and there is every reason to believe be will be much Improved. I shall, however,, forbid him taking any part in the campaign this year. PRINCE Ia the provincial charter of 1691, ander which the Plymouth colony and the province of Maine were united with Massachusetts, it was provided that all trees of the diameter of 24 Inches and upward of 12 inches from the ground, growing upon land not heretofore granted to any private person, should be reserved to the crown t r the furnishing of masts for the royal navy. Harper's Weekly observes. A surveyor general of woods was appointed to see that this provision of the charter was carried into effect. Near the coast all white pines of suitable dimensions were marked with the broad arrow three cuts through the bark with an ax, like the track of a crow. This was the kings mark. Long after the revolution had obliterated the royal authority men who had been taught in boyhood to respect the kings mark hesitated to cut such trees. , In felling a tree it was necessary to bed it to prevent its breaking. This was done by cutting the small growth and placing small trees across the hollow, so that there should be no strain upon one section more tBan upon another when the monster pine struck ground. The mast was hauled out of the woods on one strong sled, whether in wiuter or summer, and so many oxen were required that the hind pair were often choked in crossing a hollow, being hung up in their yoke by the pulling of those ahead of them. A mast hauling was a great event, and everybody withlu walking distance came to see it. to Be Replaced.

Prince Katsura, la a momentous development toward completing the final details of the defensive alliance pact between Russia and Japan. The actual agreement between the former enemies was concluded same time ago and probably will be signed soon. The agreement consists of two parts, one dealing with the delimitation of the spheres of Influence of Russia and Japan in Mongolia and Manchuria, which Is similar in scope and character to the accord of August 31,. 1907, regarding Persia The second part deals with the duty of the two nations for Joint defense in case either power it attacked. . The agreement of July 4, 1910, providing for the maintenance Jointly of the statur quo in Manchuria, was a direct result ot the neutralisation scheme for the Manchurian railroads, and the present one was the outcome of a long entanglement which taught both nations the necessity for a close union of forces. London advices assert that the new agreement la an exemplification ot tha treaty of Portsmouth between Russia and Japan. It is said that some of the articles will be expunged, and restated In a form confirming to Japan peninsular lease, allowing both signatories greater military her Liao-Tun- g freedom In Manchurian development and sanctioning the buildingv of a new stragetic railway.

By voting bonds for 340,000 to which wUl be added a bonus of (10,000 collected by the citizens of Csssville, Barry county is to have a new courthouse and Che old building, which Is a relic of the Civil war will pass into history. The old courthouse, which was a brick building, was used by two-stor- y both the Union and Confederate armies. Had the fight not been ao warm in this section the Confederates might have claimed it by right of discovery, for they were the first to occupy it. The building waa , first used by the Confederates aa a meeting place for the legislature .which was convened here October 31, 1861, after being driven out of Neosho by the npproacbof the federal army. It was at this session the state was seceded from the Union and much other important business was transacted. The articles ot Recession were written and introduced by the late Senator George Graham ' Vest. The meeting was attended by seventy-reve- n members. W. S. McConnell, the member of the legislature from this county, being forced to attend to make the quorum. Mr. McConnell's refusal to attend at first was because of the fear of the federal troops and sympathizers who were in this country in great numbers. Gov. Claiborne T. Jackson, who was elected governor in 1860, was at the meeting and after the acts ot secession were passed made a speech from tlie routb door of the old courthouse informing the people of the action ot the legislature and notifying the people that they then composed a part of the Southern Confederacy. Senator Vest also delivered an addreaa. After the speaking and Jollification the appointments of MaJ. Gen.

The session lasted for eight days, adjourning November 7, because of the approach of federal troops, to meet in New Madrid in March, 1862. The meeting at New Madrid was never held, however. At the meeting of the legislature Miles Vernon of Laclede county presided, he being named1 for the place by M. C. Goodlet of Johnson county. John T. Crisp of Jackson county was Jonn T. Tracy of Cole secretary; county, assistant secretary; Jamet McCoun of 'Johnson county, enrolling clerk, and M. R. Johnson, sergeant at arms. Charley H. Hardin, later governor of the state, was a member of the senate and was the only one voting? against the secession of ths state in that body. A meeting of the legislature 'was also held at Plnevllle. but no record was kept of wbat waa dono at that meeting. During the meeting ot the legislature the command of Gen. Sterling Price was stationed on Fort Hill, on which la now located the Caasvllle high school building. The old courthouse is, perhaps, the oldest one In the state, having been constructed In 1854. TO CUT NOTED TREES GIRL WRITES WITH HER TOES Sycamores Planted by Hamilton Must Be Removed. At This Place the Seconds Mot to Hla Fatal Aaron Great Federalists Make Plans for ' Duel With Burr. , New York. The announcement that the three tall sycamore trees which stand in a vacant lot at West One Hundred and Fortieth street and Ham- ilton place, Manhattan, were about to be cut down to make room for a public school, which is to be erected on the lot, has aroused much, interest among New Yorkers, especially those who are familliar with the historic associations which these trees of the forest recall It is atated on good authority that it was under these trees that the seconds for Alexander Hamilton met before the fatal duel which resulted in the death of Hamilton on July 13. 1804. Whether they are the actual tyees under which the seconds met before the fatal encounter occurred, they have a historic value from the tact that they are on territory which was intimately associated with the great statesman, lawyer and soldier. An interesting fact connected with the house when it stood on the other side of the street Is that Hamilton planted 13 trees around this house, which were intended to represent the 13 original states ot the American Union. These trees were ot the sweet gum variety and were brought by Hamilton, when they were nothing more than whips, from Mount Vernon, the estate ot President Washington. These trees lived until long after the bouse was moved, and some ot them were alive when, November, 1911, the lota where they stood were taken aa the site for a row of apartment houses. The. ground along Convent avenue had been restricted for 25 years. When these restrictions expired the trees planted by Hamilton himself The removal quickly disappeared. ot these trees rendered those at One street and Hundred and Fortieth Hamilton place all the more precicua In the eyea of antiquarians and patriotic cltixena, who treasure every reminder of Hamilton. The ground slopes sharply from the point where the old trees are standing to the shores of the Hudson. The rear porch of Hamilton's house must have commanded a beautiful view of the Weebawken shore, much wilder in appearance than now. It was early In July that the challenge from Burr was received, and it was the morning of the 12th of .hat month that the arrangements were completed and Hamilton and hia seconds took a barge and were rowed across the Hudson to the fatal battleground. il RISKS LIFE TO SAVE CHILD Yeung Baseball Player Performs Heroic Deed at Florence, New Jereey.

Since the Chinese revolution a geat many Chinese have had their cues cut off, and this has led to the opening of a large number of barber shops throughout the far east wherever Chinese are located, says an exchange. Several progressive business men ot Singapore, anticipating this, imported a large number of American barber chairs, and they are now unable to get supplies quickly enough. It has also been learned that the Chinese insist on having American hair clippers, and refuse all ether makes offered them. It would seem that American manufacturers of barbers supplies should experience a large increase in theii Oriental trade. Polar Exploration.
