INCREASING CHURCH FUNDS.
Queer Method Suggested by an Eng
Iish Pnrson for RepIenishing
His Treasury.

Clergymen in charge of small and
poor congregations frequently find
themselves hampered by want of
funds with which to carry on their
work, but it is doubtful if even from
tier missionary, who is generally ac-
knowledged to be the most hampered.
of American ministers, would adopt
the method for increasing his re-
sources which an English parson is re-
ported to have pursued. This clergy.
man is in charge of a church at Mill
wall and is quoted as offering to give
any West end church a thorough
spring cleaning, the payment to go to.
his own church funds. In his letter
announcing his offer the clergyman
says, according to a paragraph in a
Scottish journal: "With the practical
experience I have acquired / can now
beeswaX and polish a floor, or varnish
floors with anybody, and my wife is
Al at painting and decorating"
The wives of some American clergy
men, particularly in frontier stations,
could and do tell tales of hardship and
trial, but it is safe to assume that
no matter how low the church treas
ury might be they would hardly be ex-
pected to aid in its replenishing by hir-
ing out to do church cleaning, even il
it were simply painting and decorat-
ing" and not the regular scrub work.

HELEN GOULD'S PENNY BANK.
The Wealthy New York Woman Saves
Coppers for Babies Fresh
Air Fund.

Standing in almost the center of
Helen Goulds white dressing table
in her boudoir and seeming oddly out
of place among the silver-topped toi-
let pieces young lady friend of hers
saw one of those little iron penny
savings banks, such as the children of
the less wealthy commonly have, says
the New York Times.
"Why do you disfigure your dresser
in that fashion," asked the friend.
Miss Gould looked at her questioner
with a mild expression of reproach.
That" said she, sis for my babies.
It's just one of those ordinary little
fresh-air fund boxes. l have pennies
sometimes to save, and why shouldn't
my babies profit by them?"
"You dear thing!" said the girl,
who, as soon as she got home, i'm
lpetuously had a five-dollar bill
changed into pennies, which she for
warded to Miss Gould with the fol-
lowing note:
| "Dear Miss Gould: Here are 500
pennies. Pray fill the box and spare
your dresser"
She hasn't yet been reproved for
her impertinence. Probably Miss
Gould was able to find some reason
for eXcusing and forgiving it.

HUMOR OF A BARBER.
1t Expresses Itself in the Character
istic Decorations of His Gus
toners Shaving Mugs.

The proprietor of downtown bar
Der shop located on Broad street is
something of a humorist, in his own
peculiar way. On entering the shop
one is confronted by shelves of mugs
belonging to the regular patrons, and
the designs on these are decisively
odd.
There are no names or initials to
indicate the respective owners, which
apparent omission is a part of the
proprietor's little game. Instead
there is on. each a design illustrative
of the profession, business or occu-
patton of the patron. One man who
frequents the shop is a dentist, and
his cup is embellished with a set of
false teeth as a means of identifica-
tion. Another is an editor, and the
design on his cup represents paste
pot and shears. A box of cigars on
another indicates that its owner is a
tobacconist, says the Philadelphia
Record, while a downtown lawyers
cup bears a Tyre. There are about so
cups thus decorated.

CHINESE NOT DRINKERS.
They Are Rarely Seen in saloons and
only the Lonfers smoke
opium.

eve are o temperate people," said
q Chinaman of Race street, as he re-
garded one of his brothers coming
out of a saloon with a kettle of beer,
"and sight like that is rarely to be
seen here. Joe Kee has a white wife,
you know. Maybe the beer is for her.
Anyhow, not one Chinaman in this
colony would take a drink if you
should ask him to, and not one in
thousand would get drunk
"Did you ever see a drunken China
man? Are there Chinese among your
barroom loafers and hangers-onf But
you will say with a sneer that we all
smoke opium, and that an opium
smoker, of course, will not drink be-
cause the pipe gives one an aversion
to alcohol. 1t is true that the opium
smoker can't drink, but it is not true
that all Cinnamon smoke. For no one
can smoke and work, and it is only
the loafers of Chinatown, the card
sharps and confidence men, who hit
the pipe.
"The true reason of Chinese tenn
perancc in this country" continued
the Chinaman, according TO the Phil"
adelphia Record, sis one of economy.
We can't afford to drink, to get
drunk. to be arrested and to be fined,
and therefore we don't do it, But
the Chinese as a race would like to
be just as Incorporate as any other
people, only they control them
selves"

 Miss Hartwell says the Chinese women are household drudges. The moment a woman Is married she becomes almost as much the proyerty of her mother-in-law as of her husband. The mother-in-law is not restrained from infiicting severe pun ishment upon the wife of her son and she Is helpless under cruel enthrallment. The Chinese woman dreads her mother-in-laW, for the husband is also completely under her influence.
 Miss Hartwell discussed the Chinese troubles and the Boxer movement, which was the result of deeply laid scheme that had the support of the reactonary party whose head was the Empress Dowa- ger Some time ago the missionary wo- men in China sent a handsomely bound

conditions, but, on the contrary, dismissed them when she said:
 The only difference between our work and that of the Christian people in America is that we set sail from San Francisco and SC to a foreign land-there to put the Bible into the hands of a heather people and win souls to Christ"
 Miss Hartwells s work is at Tung Chow Flu, where she has a mission school, the work having been begun by her mother. It Is located In Northern China, and is th oldest station of the mission, having been opened in 1860. It is situated on the Shan Tung coast, at the entrance to the Gulf of Pechilli, and has always been regarded an imporant city by the Chinese from mill tary poin of view.

Where frequently the mother in a Chin ese home becomes converted, unless her husband and particularly her mother-in- law accepts the true religion, she dare not openly confess her disbelief in idols, and to discard them would mean severe and cruel punishment.
 The Chinese woman, therefore, who comes to see the absurdity of worshiping little wooden image and realizes that the ancestral tablets which have been her shrine are, after all, inanimate objects while her heart is worshipping her Heav- enly Father, is forced to worship in se- cret unless her husband receives the new belief" and the little child, perhaps to whom she would tell the old, old story, must needs continue ignorant. Miss Hartwell recalled story of a woman who twenty years ago became converted. She was the only

 The Emperor was greatly impressed and he was told that duplicates of this gor- geously bound book could be procdrsd for five cents in simple binding. and the Emperor read the gospel from Bible procured at a little mission.
 The following statistics furnished by Miss Hartwell give briefly the history of the mission movement in China:
 Robert Morrison was the first Protest ant missionary to enter China He reached Canton In 1907. Public preaching was pro- hibited by law. He undertook to translate the Scriptures and to prepare a Chinese English dictionary. He died in 1884. The prospect was nearly dark as when he landed. The Nankin treaty provided that

Miss Hartwell's Work.

There is a clever and attractive young woman in Birmingham who reads very ea- gerly the latest news from China, and who is able to discuss the Chinese situation with remarkable intelligence, for she was born in China and has spent all of her life in the Orient.
 daughter of Dr. J. B. Hartwell, the fa- nous missionary to China, having lived there for more than forty years.
 Miss Hartwell returned to this country a little more than a year ago, the state of her health necessitaing her leaving China. She has been spending the time with friends in Boston, but came to New Orleans to attend the Southern Baptist Convention under the auspices of which her father maintains his great mission work in China. From New Orleans Miss Hartwell came to Birmingham a few weeks ago and Is the guest of friends in the city. She will return to China in the autumn.
 Miss Hartwell has addressed several Birmingham and so anxious have the va- missionary gatherings since her arrival r. rious societies been to have her present upon different occasions that her strength has been quite overtaxed.
 She is a very bright and interesting wo- man ana talks 50 earnestly ana so lntelu- gently upon mission work in China that whenever she is called upon for an ad- dress she never fails to interest and in- struct her hearers. As the daughter of pr. Hartwell, she is naturally an interesting figure to those familiar with his nearly half a century of work in foreign lands, as well as that accomplished in this coun- try, notably among the Chinese colony in San Francisco. And as a young Ameri- co n uor,ap horn and reared n Chipaea mission, devoting her energies to mission work and consecrating her life to service for the Master, she is an interesting figure to those who have informed themselves of conditions under which the American woman who goes to China must labor.

MAKES ICE OF LIQUID AIR.
Startling Experiment by Louisiana
Scientist.

New Orleans, La, March 31-In his
lecture room at Tulane University
Prof A. L. Metz succeeded in making
small block of solidifed air which
was as substantial (for the time
being) as block of ice 1t was
about an inch in diameter and lasted
about fifteen minutes fully exposed.
He laid it on an anvil and as he struck
it the hammer bounded off as though
it had been piece Of rubber It was
SO intensely cold that no one could
touch it with his fingers.
Taking large test tube about eigh-
teen inches long and over an inch in
diameter, Prof. Metz put liquid air
into it, filling it to within six inches
OF the top. He then corked it, and
through the cork inserted a bent
glass tube connected with his vacuum
apparatus, the full power of which
was applied in order to induce rapid
evaporation.
The volume o. air remaining in the
tube was found solidifed in a lump a
little more than an inch deep. In or
der to. extract this it was found neces-
sary to break the test tube and then
the lump of solid air was fully ey.
posed to the action Of the atmosphere.
