they quickly ran the score up to l6.
At this point, however, the visitors
took q decided brace9 and in very
few innings tied the score. L'Anse

Queer Method of Praying.

Along the sacred road of Nikko, in
Japan, is an Idol about which centres
one of the most curious worships in
the world. Upon the surface of the
statue are seen little pieces of whaf
appears to be. dried paper. If yoS
stand by the idol for a while and
wait for a worshippeI' to come alongl
you will see what these bits of paper
are The devotee halts in front of the
image, then scribbles a prayer on a
bit of the paper. The wad he the1
chews up into a ball and hurls at til
god. If it hits the face and sticks.
the prayer is sure to be granted, and
the pious pilgrim goes away happy. If
the ball sticks to some portion of the
body. the omen is not quite so propi,
tious, and if it falls to the ground
there is absolutely no hope
Such mode of prayer is even more
curious than the praying wheels OF
the Buddhists, who set the wheel re-
volving and reel off prayers by ma
chinery. AS John l.. Stoddard, the
lecturer, says: "One sees, Of course,
numberless strange rites connected
with religion in travelling about the
world, but Japan is the only land
have ever visited where deities served
as targets for masticated prayers!"
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1904-07-28

One of the anomalous and puzzling
features of the American agricultural
situation is the fact that with more
than 100000 of our people at work
on nearly 100000 farms, and with
all our vast uncultivated areas, the
United States is large importer Of
common, ordinary vegetables. Every
year we buy from abroad beans, dried
peas, onions. cabbages and potatoes.
We import tropical fruits in enormous
quantities because we want them and
cannot produce them within our bor-
ders. But this does not apply to the
above mentioned articles, nor to hay,
rice, hops, pickles and other products
of our soil which may be added to the
LIST

Wouldn't it Be Nice

If the umpire could judge balls and
strikes as well as you can from the
grand stand?
If everybody's watch was no better
time-keeper than yours?
If your next-door neighbor would put
his dog to sleep at 10 o'clock?
If women would promptly take the
seat you offered in crowded car with
out insisting they had rather stand
up when you know they want seat
If there were city ordinance
against knocking?
If you didn't always find somebody
reading your paper when you came
down in the morning?
If women could get of car with
out turning around?
If you could enjoy baseball game
without being told by the man nex1
to you how the game should be played
If you could wear nice clothes
without everybody asking you where
you got them made and what they
cost?
If somebody wouldn't always tell .
better story after you had told your
best?
If everybody believed everything
you said-wouldn't that be nice?-D
