WaYs Of the Orient.

There is nothing very remarkable
in the report from Japan that move
ment is on foot, supported by many
eminent men, to found church pro,
Christian in character, but independ
ent in its lines. When Buddhism was
disestablished and disendowed in the
early los of last century, owing to
the momentary ascendency of Shiuto,
which is merely vague ancestor and
nature wo, ship. it was prophesied by
acute foreign observers tina. Japan
would either adopt Christianity or be-
come frankly materialistic. 1t will
not be owing to any lack of energy on
the part of European and American
missionaries if the former course is
discarded. Here is one forecast pub.
lished fourteen years ago: ITO make
all Japan Christian by edict some
fine morning is not on the program Of
the Japanese statesman of the hour.
But that something of the kind should
happen within the next twenty years
is not nearly so unlikely as many
things that have actually happened in
his land of realized improbabilities.

THE DANGERS IN DUST.
Plea for Less Relentless Activity In
the Household.

the. Household.
Whether the bacilli that causes tn
berculosis in the human being are the
same as those which cause it in other
warm-blooded animals, and even fish
or whether they merely change their
appearance with their environment, is
a question for the archaeological ex
pert. That we may become infected
from other animals has not the vital
interest that the undOubted fact has
that we can, and do, become infected
by the germs that other men carry
about. and that the home, the place
where we take refuge from the ills OF
life, is precisely where this dread dis
ease attacks us. Inside the four walls
of our houses is where these deadly
germs are implanted, are nurtured,
and bring forth their harvest. 1t is
at home we must begin to defend our
selves. 1t is the part of wisdom to
do away with the dust-catching drape
ries and carpets. Have the rugs shak
en- and heated out of doors. If you
must have carpets, sweep them With
wet tea leaves sprinkled on them
Wipe the furniture with moist cloth,
not firt the dust around with bunch
of feathers on stick. Dust is dan
gerous. Remember thst. Better to
have some critic write "Sloven" in
the dust upon the mantelpiece than
cloud the air with it and poison your
whole family.-Everybody's Magazine
