japanese Praying BAGS.

as prayers, says the San Fran
cisco Call. The priests bless
the charm upon receipt Of the
zca ash. The possessors-- prays by
Sliding the little pouch up and down
the strings and saying something
similar to ''These are my sentiments"
He is very particular that these prayer
bags and charms shall not be profaned
by the touch of Christian forefingQ
and >resists the deputy's efforts to fiEA
letters near the little sacred pouch
which reposes on the stomach of the
faithful For this reason the intelligent
Jap does not carry letters near the
bag. When the Jap is particularly anx-
ious to have his god answer his prayer
he removes the cover from the top Of
the pouch and prays with the paper
in his hands.
Still another evidence of Japanese
superstition is shown by the lucky
stones they nearly all professed
Christians as welp carry in their
pockets. In Japan the women place
locks of their hair and the men place
smooth stones the size of Walnuts at
tie feet of their idols. After a certain
time these locks Of hair and the stones
become sacred and are either carried
IN their garments or worn suspended
around their necks as charms to pro-
tect the wearer from evil and harm.
The Japanese immigrants wear and
carry the prayer bags and the sacred
stones until they reach the missions,
when they are hidden, so as to pre-.
vent White Christians from discover
ing these evidences of idolatry.

How to Make Money.

The correspondent of a Chicago pa
per has been interviewing rich men.
Edison alone gives practical advice
as to making a fortune. He says:
when you want to make money
give people something they want.
They will pay you money for it. If l
wanted to make a little pot I would
sit down to think what I most need.
1t may be such a simple thing as
white neckties in the newest style,
of fine material. If a man comes
around with them 1 will buy of him.
Having settled this point for himself
l ask someone else what he wants.
Gould you use a small wooden foot
stool [ ask him, if sold for 10 cents;
and how many would you take? At
ter l got his answer I would go on
asking people until l find out the
needs Of twenty men, Then l would
strike an average. I know a man
who made snug fortune selling
Dutch mustard blythe pint, and anoth-
Ser. who is trying to getsover the $1OO.-
600 mark patching shoes in business
offices, where, for a quarter, he puts
on patch, seWS rips, and even heels
and soles. He carries Il satchel cut
tit and is prosperous. as he should be.
"That is the secret of getting rich.
Give the people something they want,
and they will pay money to get it."
