Tho Lesson From . Biseksmif',.

Rev. Samuel Chadwick, of England,
throws new light on the uses Of satan in
this world BY the following anecdote:
II have seen blacksmith stand on one
side Of his anvil, while the striker with
his sledge-hammer stood on the other.
The blacksmith would turn the iron over
and over and touch it here and there with
his little hammer. and the heavy blows
Of the striker would mold and shape it
to his will. But could never see the OBJ
ject of the little hammer until l one day
asked q blacksmith, and he told me that
with his small ha:zu,ey he directed the
blows of the striker, touching the iron to
show where the blow was to fall. God
uses the devil to hammer the saints into
shape, and makes him sweat to perfect
the saints for glory. Instead Of murnur.
ins and complaining at our trials and
temptations we should thank God for
them, for they are. the necessary means
for our perfecting."

COOKING HINTS.

For a change try boiling apples in
sweet cider. When apples begin to
get tasteless, this makes change.
Cocoa loses that raw taste if it is al
lowed to simmer for good five min
utes after being added to the boiling
milk.
A cut potato dropped in the fat in
which vegetables are to be fried will
indicate the proper temperature by
turning brown.
Have charcoal fires for broiling If
you wish for perfect cookery. The hot
flames close the pores quickly, and the
result is very tender meat.
For preparing soup for invalids
make a great point Of delicate flavor
ings. Avoid much turnip or carrot,
and instead have a suspicion Of bay
leaf, sweet herbs and mace.
When roasting a chicken in the
oven, roast it in the usual way until 1t
is nicely brown, then turn it back up
ward and let it remain so until cooked.
1t will be found that the juice of the
chicken runs into the breast and makes
1t moist and delicious.

A LAWYERS EXPERIENCE.
The Story of Convicted Man, q

"A good many years ago. said well
known Michigan lawyer who was rem
iniscencing the other day, III became
greatly interested in state prison
case A young farmer was charged
with having driven Off ten out Of a
flock of twelve sheep and sold them to
butcher. He put up fair defense,
but was convicted and sentenced to a
term of three years.
"There We're plenty Of people who be-
lieved that he was perfectly innocent,
and even the butcher who bought the
sheep came in time to doubt If he had
identified the right party. After the case
had stirred up whole county took a
hand in it. In my petition to the gov

mans father, mother and sweetheart.
and I got eight of the Jurors to sign it.
I made out such good case that the
governor took it under Amusement and
finally agreed to issue pardon. In
speaking to me of the case he said:
"'There is no sort Of doubt in my
mind that this was case Of mistaken
identity, and shall be only too glad to
restore the young man to liberty
ut became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles over the muddiest Of roads
to bear the news to the parents that a
pardon was to be issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed In a
room off the parlor. The wife received
me and sobbed over the good news and
then went in to break 1t to her hus

BUSINESS AN-n.-~.. t".
Not Mathematics, but . Mister of
Creative Imagination.


1.-THE idea of business in country
that has reached the height Of its de-
yelopment is dry as dust affair" says
Hutchins IIapgood In Ainslee's. ut Is
the miserable system of keeping what
one has, Il system in which the temper
ament and the imagination do not play
q part. The American, however, puts
imagina ton into business. Business Is
the art Of this country. To the Ameri-
can Of affairs there are In his work ex-
element, charm and color. To him 1t Is
not a matter of mathematics, but OF
the creative imagination. Great proc
esses. great inventions, great corpora
tlons--the organization Of such things
requires genius.
Nobody is stupider, more avarlcious
and more economical in a small way
than French peasant or German
hausfrau. Nobody Is less avaricious
and more economical in big way than
a great American inventor, flnancer
or business man. Through his brains
production becomes cheaper and conse-
quently more abundant, and more good
to the common people thereby accrues
than by all the small savings ever made
since civilization began. 1t is better to
lie able to make than to save, and to
make much a large outlay in money,
energy and brains Is necessary. To
save pennies is a sign of commercial
Incompetence and national decline
"When an individual or nation be-
gins a system Of housekeeping on a
small scale, it is a sign that the life
blood is ebbng. Old people, drier and
less resourceful than young people. are
VIGOROUSLY more economical. They, like
old nations. want to hang on to what
they have rather than strive for more.
The wisdom of the French peasant
consists in keeping down his eXpendi'
ture and the size Of his family to
point where the nation as a whole is
weakened. AS Bacon said, He that
hath a state to repair may not despise
small things and perhaps the decay Of
the country is the cause rather than
the effect of French economy. Anyway
the two things hang closely together"

CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scrap With u Printed Charac-
ter Upon 1t Is Sacred.

ter Upon 1t Is Sacred.
You will never find upon the street
or In the rubbish heap scrap Of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it. An intelligent
Chinaman, questioned as to the rea-
son, explained the matter in this way:
"Melican man never tears up and
flows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as
Mclean mans Bible"
Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the eel
lar of a Race street house, in which,
piled up before gigantic furnace,
were bundles Of paper and sacks of let
tiers and newspapers printed in Chi
nese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English the old
Chinaman's story was that the orien-
tails regarded the written characters
as so sacred that this furnace was es-
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by the priests, for the incineration of
all Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by the orientals that
the most compromising letters Of the
highbinders and the private corre-
spondence of families were left with
confidence in the care of the furnace
attendant, 1t being perfectly we'll
known that he would not risk his i'm
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin Of prying into correspondence CON-
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi
nese writing as safe from the hands Of
the int1del even when every scrap Of it
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper has been burned the ashes are
carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulated to make load they
are shipped on board boat belonging
to the Chinese Merchants company,
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sea, where they
IRE scattered over the surface of the
ocean.
To the Chinaman it Is horrifying to
see the white mans newspapers used
for wrapping purposes, his letters
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old books flung
around when read as though of no
more sacredness than old boots. A
letter, an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved gin
ger or the characters that advertise
a laundry for sale become, after their
usefulness has passed, as sacred as
the gilded ornaments that add to the
glory of the joss.
One man is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. He calls at
the stores and the rooms and gathers
1t up with the utmost care, tying it in
sacks so that not shred shall escape.
With his sacred burden he goes to the
furnace room and hands the sacks to
the important parsonage in charge
there, who slows it away ready for the
next burning day. Twice week the
furnace is lighted and the sacks of pa
per solemnly committed to the flames,
with many incantations-Phia Philadelphia
Record.

A FAMOUS PAINTING.

One Figure In a Japanese Picture
Visible Only at Night.
Some of the finest Japanese paint
ings in Washington are in the legation
building of that nation, the japanese
ambassador being collector and con-
noisseur Of the art of his native land.
The japanese style Of painting is alto
gether unlike that Of Europe and
America. and the reason Japanese
painters are able to produce color eff
fects that are the despair Of Euro
pean and American artists Is owing to
the pigments they use. a large number
of which are secret and unknown out
side Of Japan.
In Japan there is very famous
painting which no amount Of money
could buy and which is the master
piece Of famous artist who lived
several centuries ago. Viewing the
painting in the daytime, one is disap-
pointed. 1t shows nothing more than
a very commonplace landscape, unre-
lieved by mountains or hills. As soon,
however, as night falls one begins to
realize the peculiar merit or the pic
ture, for upon the canvas there ap-
pears a luminous water buffalo (cari-
bou) browsing upon the grass at its
feet.
The artist who painted this picture
discovered a certain phosphorescent
paint, which he obtained from the bod
les Of certain mollusks or fish, and
with which he painted the buffalo that,
invisible in daylight is LUMINOSITY
brilliant in the dark. The secret of
making this paint died with the artist.
The picture, which hangs in a Bud
dhist temple has proved fertile source
of superstition, the priests claiming that
the buffalo hides away In the shade

ing the heat of the day. coming out at

A TERRIBLE ILL.

TERRIBLE ILL.
Leprosy is the most terrible and
shocking of all the ills that flesh is
heir to. Unfortunately, it has been
imported into the islands by the Chi
nese, and has worked havoc among
the natives. The simplicity of their
manners and generous hospitality to
strangers have made the natives easy
victims of leprosy. A settlement on
the island of Molokai was long since
established for the victims, and here
they are compelled to live and die. A
thousand lepers are now confined on
Molokai and l have been told by pro-
fessional men that another thousand
could easily be found secreted in va
rious homes. Two priests and five
lay brothers and five Franciscan sis
tiers of Syracuse, N. Y, live on Mo-
lkai and care for the wants of the lep-
ers. The life of Father Damien. the
"leper priest" is known everywhere.
For sixteen years he lived with the
lepers on Mololkai laboring for them
with his own hands. Finally, catching
the disease, he died at his post, and
was buried in the leper settlement,
under the shade of his favorite tree.
HAWAIIAN POLITICS.
Hawaiian politics are somewhat
mystifying. Republicans and Demo
Gratis contend for power and for the
opportunity of saving the country. The
Republicans are split into three fac
tions-the Dole faction, the Hum
phreys faction and the Independent
faction. The Dole faction, represent
ing the old missionary party and the
wealth of the islands. is at present in
power. The Humphreys faction, rep
resenting white labor and the Ameri
can sentiment, is engaged in death
struggle with the Dole element. The
independent faction, representing the
native interests, is in secret sympa-
thy with the Humphreys faction. AS
the Japanese and Chinese have no
right of suffrage, the natives cast the
popular vote. The Governor of the
Territory is an appointee of the Pres.
ident of the United States. The high
est elective officer is the Delegate to
the United States Congress; and to
this Office the natives have again and
again elected Robert Wilcox and edu-
Gated native Hawaiian. We Travelled
with Mr.. Wilcox and often conversed
with him, and came to the conclusion
that, whatever may be said of his
anti-haole tendencies, he has the well
fare of the natives at heart.
