In the regional museum will be coI- Iected the various processes of local in- dustries. in order that the individual workman may get an idea of how his part is related to the great industry as a whole. The department of civics is to include among other things life-sav- ing b-igades, directing the mind to the virtues of heroism. courage and honor and frst-aid-to-injured classes. Under the get-together club details are given Cor the discussion of subjects of vital interest. Under holiday tours provision is made for tours of a single day or for weeks, with hints and suggestions as to subjects and institutions of special in- terest and how to reach them. The idea of the award and prize division is to stimulate interest and to arouse whole sale competition. In this division plans are given for the awarding of prizes to adults, as we'll as to children, for meri- torious deeds.
 Perhaps all this will not improve the people of Dunfermline as much as it ought to, but it will certainly do them some good.

Oh dear! More trouble. A writer in Harper's Weekly has some striking ob- servations to make on the subject of the emancipated woman os to-day and her attitude towards religion. It is noted that although, according to the testimo- ny of ministers, men are attending church more now than they were a de- cade ago, women of leisure, on the other hand, are attending less regular ly and in fewer numbers than former ly. Nor is it without significance, says the writer, that the most explicit, out spoken plea for absolute individualism in matters of religion, and the ablest argument iii favor of abstention from social forms of worship, should have been made by a woman-Mrs. Margaret Deland, the well known novelist. It is a question whether or not ''woman's eat ing of the fruit of the tree of knowledge will be good for the church and reward in. 10 the woman.'' %a
 Wouldn't that scare you? If Woman is getting by the Church as well as by the many other things she seems to have passed in her rapid onward career it is time for Man to pause and think.

MUCH FROM LITTLE.

Large oaks from little acorns grow, and many little profits make a large one. An illustration of the gain that can come from doing a large business with a small margin of profit is given by the report of the amount the post office department makes from the sales of stamps in books. These handy little books have 6 stiff paper cover, on which the ordinary rates of postage are given, and inclose number of sheets of waxed paper that prevent the stamps from adhering to each other. Although it is not very long time since the practice of selling these books was be- gun by the department, their popular ity has advanced, until last year al- most 100000 of them were disposed of at the various postoff1ces, an increase of 40 per cent. over the sales of the pre- vious year. On these sales the govern- ment made a net profit of $6S,000. This profit came entirely from the cent which the government charges for the books in excess of the value of the stamps contained therein.
 This is a great country, and cent on a trade may amount to much in it.

4 FAF7HFBE, WARyTSG

The insurrectionary people of Central America are not the only ones who have, reason to be afraid of us. We can and do scare bigger game. sey- mour Bell, the British commercial agent in the United States, sends out a warn- ing in the Board of Trade Journal of London, in which he says: Tt will be well, therefore, to bring before British manufacturers and shippers in an un- mistakable manner the progress made in recent years by American exporters in securing hold on the markets with in the British possessions, particularly for certain classes of goods which could be manufactured in the United King dom." He adds that as our home de- mand has fallen off there will be very extensive dumping of American goods in British markets, and he shows that while the total of American exports during the last year has decreased 4.6 per cent, American exports to the British possessions have increased F per cent, and this, Mir. Bell adds, is a decidedly larger increase than is shown in the statements of exports from the United Kingdom.
 MT. Bell is evidentlya competent ob- server and a faithful reporter. But if the British whom he warns will take it easy they will find that American goods will be good for them.

He has trans lated into his own language many for eign works on political, economical and religious subjects and all have had wide circulation. He speaks English with just a trace of accent. Viscount Hayashi belongs to one of the ancient feudal families, which, before the revo- lution of 1863, were the military and governing classes, but he himself was born with liberal, progressive views and is in complete sympathy with the demo- cratic opinions now to the fore in Japan.

The kitchens of the Emperor Joseph's palace at Budapest are considered to be the most modern and in every way the finest in Europe. In reality, these Kitchens are two separate ranges of buildings, one being smaller but ex- act reproduction of the other and larger series. This. smaller kitchen contains separate offices for the chef and his chief assistants, besides the kitchen proper, There are gas, oil and coal stoves, electric lamps and other ap- paratus, and all of the processes of shredding, chopping and otherwise treating food by means of electricity. The larger kitchen is for state ban- quets and balls, and when it is in use the whole culinary staff of the imperial palace in Vienna, numbering some 200 persons, is taken to Budapest.

The following example of a quaint, philosophical Scotch character is relat- ed in the Scottish American: 'The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farming, but in country church not far from Arbroath the of- ficials had resolved, according to cus- tom, to hold the annual harvest thanksgiving service. It was noticed that on that particular occasion MT. Johnstone, a regular attendant and pill lar of the church (whose crops had miserably failed). was not in attend ance. The minister in the course of the following week, met Mr. Johnstone, and inquired of him the reason of his absence from the church on such an important occasion. Well, sir,' replied MT Johnstone, T dinna care aboot ap- proacfin' my Maker in a speerit O. sar- casnI.'
