SAYS EDEN WAS IN CHINA.
Egyptian Explorer VIII Try to Prove
Chinese Were the First
on Earth.

Prof. James E. Burton, a former
student of Cornell university, who is
now at Denver on his way back to
Ithaca to become q member of the
university, announces that he is GO
ing to try to prove the Chinese were
the first race to inhabit the earth,
and that the Garden of Eden was To-
Gated in China. He was for four
years connected with the department
of antiquities Of the Egyptian gov
eminent.

WINGED that both Adam and Eve were
Chinese. The boosted civilization of
Egypt comes by way of Assyria from
central China and proves that our
civilization was really from the Chi
nese and not from Assyria and Egypt,
as has been generally held hereto
fore by scholars.
From China also must have come
the stories of the creation and the
fall of man, for while these have been
attributed to Assyria, all the arts,
sciences and letters originated in
China, and the Garden of Eden must
have been in China
Mr.. Burton says that his work with
the spade in Egypt will support all
of these statements.

THE BEST HE EVER SAW.
A MissOurinn PronOunces on the
Farming Possibilities of
Western Canada.

Just at present considerable inter
est is being aroused in the fact that a
few new districts (of limited acreage)
are being opened out by the Canadian
Government in Saskatchewan and AS
siniboia (Western Canada), and any
information concerning this country
is eagerly sought. Mr.. w. r. Corser,
of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo-, was
a delegate there during last summer,
and writing of his impressions he
says:
81 found surprising yields of grain
of all descriptions. One farmer Wis
tied threshed of ITS acres:
900 bushels Of wheat from Is acres,
40 bushels to acre.
- 900 bushels of barley from 10 acres.
$4,000 bushels Of oats from $50 acres,
100 bushels to acre.
"The samples were all No. 1.
81 also saw a considerable number of
stock. Swine do we'll and there is no
disease amongst them. They are a
good source of income to the farmer.
The cattle on the range beat anything
ever saw. Fat and ready for beef,
fully matured and ripened on the
nutritious grasses of the prairie. I am
firmly convinced that this country of
fers better facilities for poor man
than any have ever SEEN"
Information concerning these lands
can be had from any agent of the gov
eminent, whose advertisement ap-
pears elsewhere.

Smart Turtles.

The turtle is usually considered
creature, but the three
which ngure in this story were swift
enough to get out of harms way.
They are pets of Mr.. Eckert, who
lives on a farm in Indiana. One day
flames broke out in Mr.. Eckert's
clearing and swept over the entire
field. After the fire had ragged awhile
he thought of his pets and went out
to see what had become of them. OF
course he was worried, fearing the
turtles had not had time to escape.
After long search he went a short
distance from the track covered by
the flames and discovered a freshly
dug hole. In it he found one of the
turtles down a considerable depth
digging deeper with astonishing Wig
or. After walking around the other
two were finally located down along
a small stream, both in the water
with only their heads sticking out
When Mr.. Eckert appeared on the
scene they pushed their heads little
farther out, as much as to say:
''We're all right; go about your Eusi-
ness" Those turtles evidently knew
when to get out of dangers way

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

A day has been set aside through
out all Italy for the planting of trees
by the youth of the public schools.
The capacity of three of the great
churches of the world is given as fol-
lows: There is room for $4,000 per-
sons in st. Peters church, Rome; for
1000 in the Milan cathedral, and for
$4,000 in st. Paul's, London.
The following figures are from an
article in the Catholic World, entitled
Statistics of Parish Schools" Chi
cago has 100 schools, with $4,000 pu-
pills; Detroit has Ga schools, with H.
200 pupils; Grand Rapids has 46
schools, with 10,1.~ pupils.
The French minister of fine arts
has decided that for the future for
eign students at the school OF fine
arts in Paris may take the medals
but not the money prizes awarded
them, the latter going to the next
French student on the list.
John r. Mott, speaking of the tri-
umphs of the Uganda mission, said:
''In 1875 Stanley sent a letter to the
Daily Telegraph, of London, appeal
ing to Christians to establish mis-
sion in Uganda. In 1899 there were
over 400 churches, more than $1,000
baptized members and nearly 900 ma
tive agents. Ethiopia has indeed
stretched forth her hands unto God"
The movement in the Christian En-
deavor society to take more active
part in the Christian work of a COM
munity is well illustrated by the So
ciety of, the Robertson Memorial
church in Louisville, Ky. They visit
every family in the community, espe-
cially the poor and sick. A sewing
class has been formed to make cloth
