But HIS knowledge" Darkcncd His
Mothers Life.
She lived in a log cabin in the Ten
neSsce mountains.
She was gray, old, poor, religious
religion was her sole comfort. She
read her Bible and prayed cor tinu-
ally.
Her son Jim was out West.
She exhibited the beggarly remit
tances which he sent her with trem-
bling hands and sparkling, pride-full
eyes.
jim came home to stay. Her cup Of
JOY was full. On the afternoon of his
arrival she was reading her Bible and
whispering prayers Of thankfulness.
Jim approached her and spread his
rough hands over the page she was
reading. She regarded him with sur
prise He told her that he had heard
great men talk out West, and had
learned that the Bible was not true
was not the inspired Word Of God.
Her face was as yellow as unbleach-
ed flax; wisp of faded hair fell
down her check. She put up her toll
hardened hands to stop him, but he
talked on eloQuently. She said not a
word when he had finished and left
the cabin, but she rose. and going to
her bed in the corner of the room, she
knelt and tried in vain to pray.
She stood in the cabin door in
struggle; there was no sign Of blood
in her face. jim was right, she sup
posed; she had never known him to
be wrong. People had always said
he had a keen mind.
The next Sunday she did not go to
meeting; she stayed at home, and
tried to comprehend what jim had
to say about the mistakes of the
Bible. She trembled and felt cold in
her breast as the singing from the
Westinghouse stole over the hill and
through the trees.
She fell i'll. The shadow of death
came into her face. NeighbOrs wiped
their eyes at her door and gathered
at her bedside. The preacher came,
care you ready to go, sister," he
asked.
Il don't know" she gasped, and
cast an appealing glance at her son,
who stood at the foot of the bed.
I've heerd at the Bible amt true.
I use ter b'lieve 'at when my time
come I'd go off easy, but now it's just
awful-awful,"
She tried to put out her hand to-
ward jim, essayed to speak, but
death froze her unasked question on
her face.

Airing Rooms.

1t is Il great mistake that the whole
house, particularly the sleeping
rooms and the dining rooms, receive
air, when it can be done with SO lit
tie trouble and no expense. A pitcher
Of cold water placed on Il table or bu-
reau will absorb all the gases with
which the room is filled from the res
piraton of those eating or sleeping in
the apartment. Very few realize how
important such publication is for the
health of the family, or, indeed, un-
derstand or realize that there can be
any impurity in the rooms, yet in a
few hours pitcher or pail of cold
watcr-the colder the more effective
will make the airof the room pure,
but the water will be entirely unfit
for use.
In bedrooms a pail or pitcher of
water should always be kept, and
changed often if anyone stays in the
room during the day; certainly be put
in. fresh when the inmates retire.
Such water should never be drunk, but
either covered pitcher or glass bot
tie with Il stopper should be used for
drinking water, and always be kept
closely covered Impure water causes
more sickness than even impure air,
and for that reason, before using wa
ter from pump or reservoir for drink
ing or cooking, one should pump or
draw out enough to clear the pipes
before using it, particularly in the
morning, after the water has been
standing in the pipes all night.

SAVAGE SOLOMON ISLANDERS.
They Are the Most Degraded Race on
Earth.

They Are the Most Degraded Race
Earth.
The better part of the Solomon ISL
ands belong to the German Govern
ment, but chat does not prevent the
English from inflicting summary pun
ishment on the natives whenever
guilty of outrages on anyone claiming
to be British subject, says a writer.
On such occasions they are handled
with as much freedom and severity as
if the Germans had never been heard
of in the vicinity. At the present
time the English war ship Royalist is
visiting the different islands from
which crimes have been reported and
chastising the guilty, ones Whosoeyer
or wherever they may be, even TO the
extent of destroying their villages
whenever they have had any difficulty
in locating the right parties.
| suppose the Germans do not care
much whether these subjects of theirs
are exterminated or not, as they arc
not likely to bring credit to either
their masters or themselves. Mis-
sionary work has been total failure
in the Solomon Islands, although per-
sisted in for many years and by differ
ent religious bodies. In most cases
the only result arrived at by the mis-
sionary is to supply a banquet for his
congregation, forming himself the
principal dish of the occasion. AS a
people the Solomon Islanders are per-
haps the most savage, the most bru-
tai and the most degraded race on
this earth to-day. They practice
nothing but the most barbarOuS of
customs. and are Of 50 fierce and
rapacious disposition that it is not
safe to approach within 100 miles OF
any Of the islands inhabited by them.
They are cannibals Of the worst kind:
visitors to the islands in quest of san
dalwood and tortoise shells, the chief
products, have seen in different
houses various parts Of the humaL
body in process Of preservation for
future consumption, just as civilized
nations would cure animal meats, and
the owners of vessels have frequently
human flesh offered them in exchange
for something desired by the natives.
Head-hunting is another Of their
accomplishments. 1t is practiced
under all sorts Of prcteXts, in some
cases the chiefs Offering rewards for
the best results of an expedition.
Professional head hunters are not I'M
common, and they usually take the
hOnOrS.

a Pretty Piece of Word Painting of Cali
fornia's Wonder.
Charles Dudley Warner gives the
following beautiful description Of the
Grandc Canon of Colorado:
No one could be prepared for it.
The scene is one to strike dumb with
awe or to unstrng the nerves. One
might stand in silent establishment;
another would burst into tears. There
are some experiences that cannot be
cpeated-One's first view Of Rome,
ones first view Of Jerusalem. But
these emotions are produced by assO-
citation, by the sudden standing face
to face with the scenes most wrought
into our whole life and education by
tradition and religion.
This was without association, as it
was without parallel. 1t was a shock
SO novel that the mind, dazed, quite
failed to comprehend it. All that we
could grasp was Il vast confusion of
amphitheaterS and strange architect
ural forms, resplendent with color.
The VaStncSS OF the view amazed us
quite as much as its tranScendent

What we saw was not a canon or Il
chasm or Il gorge, but vast area,
which is q break in the plateau. From
where we stood it was twelve miles
across to the opposite walls-a level

looked up and down for twenty to
thirty miles. This great space is filled
with gigantic architectural construc-
tions, with amphithcaters, gorges

Elephants Tusk jelly.

How many people, says the Wash
ington Star, have ever eaten jelly
made from elephants tusks? Yet it
is very good indeed. In the English
factories, where many TONS of ivory
are sawn up annually to make handles
of knives and forks, great quantities
of ivory dust are obtained. The dust
is sold at the rate Of 6 pence a pound,
and when properly boiled and pre-
pared it makes the finest, purest and
most nutritious animal jelly known.
Years ago ivory jelly was a very
fashionable remedy and much sought
for.

THE BLIND IN JAPAN.
Formerly Stunned, but Now They Learn
Useful Trades and Professions.


Useful Trades and Professions.
At recent meeting Of the Asiatic
Society of Japan, in Toxic, a paper
full of curious and interesting infor-
nation on the condition OF the blind
in Japan was read by Prof. Dixon.
In early ages the blind were regarded
as unlucky or uncanny, and their
condition was one Of great misery,
until one Of the imperial princes was
born in this state. His father col
lected around him Il number of blind
to amuse him, and when, on attain
ing maturity, he was appointed gov
ernor of three provinces, he took with
him blind men to assist him, and*for
about three centuries the adminiStra-
ton Of these provinces was always in
the hands Of the blind. This prince
also introduced the practice, which
prevails at the present day, of the
blind shaving their heads. During
the civil contests of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries between the
families of Taira and Minnamoto the
blind officials were everywhere eject
eel, and those afflicted with the loss
of sight fell into their early condition
Of distress and misery. In course of
time orders were issued to the local
authorities to provide for the blind in
their districts, and now they receive
the attention and education usual in
all civilized countries.
The members Of the blind guild.
which has long existed, commonly
followed two occupations, music or
chanting or shampOOing or massage,
those who practiced the former being
of higher grade and frequently en-
joying much popular favor. To this
day all towns and villages in Japan
have their blind shampooers, who go
about after nightfall with strange
musical cry. The less skillful among
the musicians became professional
story-tellers. The higher official
grades, which were at one time open
to the blind, were eagerly sought af-
ter; those who held them were pro-
vided with special marks of their Of
flee, and during civil wars blinG
musicians were frequently employed
as spies. The art of shampooing as
practiced by the japanese blind takes
nine years to learn. The pupil for
the first three years practices on his
master; then he spends three years
acquiring the art Of acupuncture; and
for the remaining three years he is
on probation, his master receiving
half his earnings. Blind men some
times distinguish themselves outside

existence which they obey. The
photographic Bureau at Washington
for two years has been trying to learn
something OF the characteristics of
the Atlantic Ocean as great moving
body Of water by means OF bottles,
containing papers, which have been
dropped overheard from vessels in
many places, to drift at the mercy of
the winds and waves.
Many OF these bottles have been
found and picked up again either in
the open sea, or on shores where they
had stranded.
Knowing from its records where the
bottles had been thrown overheard.
the Bureau had been able to trace, in
a general way, the path thsy must
have followed in order to reach the
places where they were found. In q
report published on the first Of July
this year, and accompanied by map
Of the Atlantic, the adventures of Il
hundred and thirteen bottles are re-
corded.
Being partially filed with air and
then securely corked, the bottles float
on the surface of the water, and go
wherever the wind and the currents
of the sea carry them. Each bottle
contains a record Of the place and the
date Of its starting. Some Of these
found have floated for many months
on the bosom Of the Atlantic, and
travelled thousands Of miles.
1t has been found that bottles
dropped overheard between the shores
Of the United States and England or
France generally travel toward the
northeast, following the course of that
great river in the ocean called the
Gulf Stream. Bottles started off the
coasts Of Spain or Africa travel west
ward until they arrive among the
West India Islands. Along the Eu-
rOpcan side of the ocean the bottles
take Southerly course, and along
the American side northcrly course.
Thus, as a result Of winds and cur
rents, the whole Atlantic is shown to
be slowly circulating round and round,
like an enormous pool. This accounts
for the stories that were current in
Europe, hundreds of years ago, Of
strange objects of human manufac-
ture having floated from the New to
the Old World, thus giving a clue to
the existence Of undiscovered lands
beyond the sea.
