A Dry Smoke.

If you ace man with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, Ii is not because
he is looking for light, but because
he is indu1ging in the pleasure of a
"dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to smoker is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inveterate smokers the dry
smoke is good habit to cultivate. 1t
enables many slaves of the weed to de-
crease the number of cigars actually
smoked in day without causing much
inconvenience. OF course an inveter-
ate smoker would find no pleasure in
the habit at the start, but perseverance
is necessary, and after awhile he will
enjoy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. 1t is good way to begin
if you desire to stop smoking. Try ii
and see.-Ne,o York Herald.

Danger in the Church.

Not long since the bishop of L
was a guest at dinner party in Birm-
ington, when lady noted for her witty
remarks, who was a guest, said:
''Do you know that there are times
when it is dangeroust to enter churchT'
"What is that, madam?' inquired
the bishop with great dignity, straight
ening himself in his chair.
"That there are times when it is
positively dangerous to enter a
church," was the lady's reply.
"That cannot be, madam" said the
bishop, ''pray explain
"Why," said the lady, ''it is when
there is a canon at the reading desk, a

AS to China.

To most of us China is an unopened
book, and the Chinese are identified
with the melancholy specimens of that
race who have immigrated to outshores
and embarked upon the dubious enter
prise of washing clothes in filthy laund-
ries. That within the walls of the vast
Asiatic empire there dwells great
and a proud people, who have for
thousands of years lived according to
the principles of civilization which
in their own eyes is superior to that of
the west, and which in our eyes can
not be denied to have great aud wond-
rous virtues, comparatively few of US
are aware, and many being told of it
today for the first time find it difficult
to believe. That these heather, as we
delight to call them because they are
different from ourselves, have had for
thousands of years a religion of their
own, to which they have adhered quite
as consistently and as Loyalty as we
have adhered to ours-even if the bal
ance of loyalty to faith be not against
us-the mass of us have not dreamed,
and not many Of us are prepared to
accept readily. Yet such are the facts
that men who have gone out into this
land to carry the benefits of western
civilization to nation of 400, 900, 900 of
souls are forced in sincerity to tell us,
rs does Doctor Charles Johnson, in bis
enlightening article on 1.-THE Struggle
for Reform in China in the July issue
of the North American Review, that
"any inherent superiority on the part
of the west is rather pleasing fiction''
than a demonstrable fact. That in
point of fact 'the west is superior in
combative and destructive elements
the very things which the religion OF
the west has been trying to eradicate
for 1000 years; so that even from a
western point of view, Europe's ma
terial victory"-if indeed Europe is to
win such one at all--''is a moral de-
feat" A statement of this import
comes to US in the light of a revelation,
but we must accept it, for DIR. johnson
is one who has made close and inti-
mate study of that concerning which he
writes and knows whereof he speaks

1t is a curious fact, which may or
may not be repeated this year, that in
every election for President in which
the same candidates confronted each
other twice in succession, the nominee
who was beaten in the first instance
won in the second Jefferson, who
was beaten by John Adams in 1895, de-
felted Adams in 1900. jackson, who
was left behind by John Quincy Ad-
ans in 1924, was way ahead of Adams
in 1928. VIM. Henry Harrison, who
was easily beaten by Van Buren, in
1886, just as easily defeated Van Buren
Ia 1910. Cleveland, who was 65 in the
minority in 1888 against Benjamin
H lrrison, had majority of more than
that figure in 1892.

They have some very curious Grim
inal laws in Mexico. For instance, it
is twice as much of an offense to mutil-
ate the face of woman as that of a
m IN. The law seems to be based on
the idea that woman's best possession
is her beauty, and that to mar it does
her great injury. There is another
curious law. If person should be
wounded in an encounter the punish
ment to the offender is fxed by the
number of days his victim has to stay
in the hospital or under a doctor
care. A line is fixed at forty days in
the way of general division. If the
injured man occupies more than forty
days in his recovery the penalty
doubles up.

Punishment of Train Robbers.

Sometimes you hear men who have
never been on board train when it
was "held up" by robbers wonder that
coach-load of passengers and trains
Grew could be cowed by couple of
highwaymen. The fact is, loaded
revolver is an effective persuader, and
when robber has ''the Drop the vic
TINS possessions seem trivial in value
compared with his life.
The killing of a passenger on Union
Pacific train in Colorado, who had the
pluck to resist train robbers, shows
that resistance is a serious matter.
Train robbers are potential murderers.
They hold very lightly the lives OF
their victims. They are ready to sac
rifice innocent travellers at any time.
Society is too kind to these gentry.
When captured the law haggles over
them long time at the expense of the
taxpayers, and then they are kept in
prison for a time at the taxpayers ex-
penss, to be released later and to have
fresh opportunities to rob trains and
kill passengers. Train robbery and
train-wrecking should be made capital
ofenses. No wretch who is once con.
victed of either of those crimes, or Of
an attempt to commit either, should
ever be permitted another chance He
should be hanged in very short time
after conviction -Erchonge.

An exchange gives the following bit
of sound philosophy: ''lf you have a
home and are out of debt, don't fret
and worry yourself and good wife into
the grave for the sake of making mon
ey. You have but one life to live, and
it is brief at best. Take little pleas
ure and comfort as you go day by day,
and try to do little good to others.
A morbid, insatiate desire to possess
the earth, to grab everything in sight,
is at the foundation of more misery
than almost any one thing. Wealth
alone will never keep your memory
green after you are gone; good life
and kind actions will.o

An Ohio editor says that hay fever

You Can't Fool a Boy.

Women can't read boys nature as
men can, and they might as well own
up. The Fort street mother who sent
her boy to drug store with bottle
and a sealed note imagined that she
was sharper than the serpent's tooth
when she wrote to the druggist ''Send
me half pint of port wine, and write
on the label p. W.-Poison" The
druggist followed orders, and when the
boy got outside he tore off the wrapper
and read the label.
"P. W.-poison," he unused as he
walked along ''Wonder what that is?
P. w. doesn't stand for bed bugs, and !
know it, and it doesn't mean rats either.
P. w. can't be hair dye nor scalp wash,
and Pm going to touch my tongue &c
it.n
He touched. 1t tasted so good that
he took sip, and meeting three or -four
boys Just then the crowd entered a
lumber yard and P. W.'d the contents
of that bottle till only gill was left
Then one of the lads ran home after 9
dipper of water, filled up the bottle
