Within an Inch of Deaf h.

To face death by drowning in the
icy waters of a cavern 1000 feet I'M
foreground, to feel narrow strip Of
ground affording temporary safety
crumbling away inch by inch into the
black waters tapping at their feet, to
see their only hope Of rescue just an
inch above their outstretched hands
and finally to be saved after hope was
gone was the recent experience Of
Howard Wyndham. Of London. il the
Mohegan mine in Victor, Colorado.
The visitors went to Victor to in
spect the Mohegan mine and were be-
ing lowered in the shaft when they
saw water below them. They jerked
the bell rope to signal the engineer
and broke it. The cage continued
downward and when the water was up
to their chins they jumped for a ledge
and reached 1t.
The engineer, puzzled by the one bell
he had heard before the rope broke
began hosting slowly and the cage
left them. Then they discovered that
the clay ledge they were standing upon
was breaking down. Barely in time
to save them, the cage was lowered
again, stopped where they could reach
it and they were hoisted to safety.
The shaft had filed to q depth Of
thirty feet or more from seepage.

According to the story, an automobile
proceeding from Nantes to Rosny met
a herd Of fifty horses being led to a
neighboring fair and stopped SO as not
to cause a stampede, But the horses

the rival of their species and without
more ado set on the machine in body,

mani Perhaps memory pricked You
and stayed your hand. The girl On
the porch isn't different from the girl
you used to court in your porch days
She is good and sweet and natural and
pretty. OF course she wants the COM
pany of young men. You are all right
In your place. You are dad and you
have a mortgage on q corner CT her
heart. Her love Tor you is the real
thing, old man. But it is natural that
the young fellows should seek her.
She is honey and they are bees--and
SO they roost on the porch and say
things that seem silly, and they laugh
easily; and one young fellow brings
over his mandolin, and that makes the
neighbors swear. And you stay out
in the back yard and wish you could
shed the blood Of the young men who
would steal away your girl. Mister, be
glad that you have a girl who is
growing up into beautiful womanhood.
Be glad that she has SO much conf
dence In you that she has her admir-
ers on your front porch. Be glad that
she thinks that you want her to have
a good time; and bury the twinge Of
bitterness that Is in your heart. These
things were always the ways Of men
and maids. You cannot change them.
Happy is the man who can be phil
osopher while lovers moon on the
front porch.

How TO Keen Young.

The art Of keeping young, accord
ing to Prof. Goldschneider, Of Berlin,
consists in keeping sound the blood
vessels, for we are only as old as the
heart and the arteries Long life is
best insured by early attention to the
heart, though care begun in old age
will often accomplish much. A great
danger lies in abnormal demands on
the organ, and little injuries accumu-
late, so that serious harm must come
from the abuse Of alcohol and tobacco,
of eating too much, Of too great mus
cular effort, or even Of mental over
work. Moderation in all things Is re-
quired. Exercise should not be vio-
lent nor too little in amount, elastic
ity Of the blood vessels should be pro-
NOTED by frequent exposure Of the
skin to air and water, and work, food,
and sleep should be thoughtfully ad-
justed. Old people need constant
movement with not too much sleep.

A Modern DosdemODa,

The London papers are printing the
story of an English girl, Clara Casey,
who married a Moorish acrobat, Mo-
hammed Ben Bulkhassan, and who
now, in far-off Tangier signs for her
Albion home as follows:
II wish were in England again. |
am quite miserable and lonely here,
and it makes me feel it more when /
see how Mr.. Abdullah treats his wife
and the way Mohammed treats me.
"There is a great difference. He Is
always hitting me, and he laughs at
me now he has got me here and tells
me I will never see you again, that
shall live and die here.
Dear mother, l hope and trust to
God 1 will soon be able to return to
England again. What a fool I have
been to give myself to this man!'
So far the intervention of the British
vice consul has led to nothing, for Miss
Casey had previously become a con-
vert to Islam, and she stated that she
had the approval of her parents.

MISSIONARY WORK IN CHINA
Methods of Converting &c ,estia1s Have
Not Been Very Successful.

Not Been Very Successful.
At the Lyndhurst Road Congrega-
tional Church ON a recent Sunday
morning DR.. II. Il. Horton introduced
to his congregation Dr.. Timothy Rich
ard, Of Shanghai, as missionary
statesman. DR.. Richard pointed out
that China contained not only fourth
of the human race, but half the in
tellect Of the world. The missionaries
had first attempted to convert the Chi
nese by circulating millions Of Bibles
and Testaments. This had had unex-
pected results, one Of which was the
Tai-Ping rebellion, when the people of
thirteen provinces tore down the idols
and 100000 lives were lost. The
people had not imbibed the spirit Of
the Bible.
Medical missions were then estab-
lished, and 100000 patients were now
treated yearly, but doctor could not
talk to his daily 100 patients Schools
were opened, but proved a great dis
appointment, partly owing to the pref
udice of the respectable people against
them. Then the evangelist came, open
ing stations UP and down the coun-
try, but all this work was local and
limited.
Finally the attempt had been made
to put Christian truths in print in q
shape to reach the leaders Of the peo-
pie. The missionaries had written
pamphlets which had been put into the
hands Of students at all the eXamina-
zion centers and had thus reached al
most every town and village. In seven
years the empire was ablaze with new
ideas, 10000 students petitioning the
emperor for reforms on the lines ia
miliar to us Of "the fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood Of nations"
To-day, however, the Chinese litera-
ture, daily press and universities have
been captured by the Japanese, and
most Of the 5000 Chinese students who
went to Japan have come back with
anti Christian and even with anti
white opinions. The question now IS
whether the civilizing influence III
China Is to be Christian or non Chris
tian. To meet this new crisis ancient
methods would not do, and he appealed
for prayer and cooperation in a
mighty work which would change the
aspect Of the whole world.-London

By means Of recent calculations Of
the Federal Typographical Department
of Switzerland it has been determined
that all Alpine attitudes have been put
about eleven feet higher than they
should be. In 1920 a rock in the Lake
of Geneva, known as the Pierre Nit
on, was marked with a tablet which
recorded it's height above the sea, and
from this stone all Swiss attitudes have
been calculated. 1t is now discovered
that this standard Of altitude was in
correctly marked.

ROYAL T'ins.

Some of the European monarchs
give very large tips whenever they
travel, and others, on the contrary, are
quite niggardly. Emperor Nicholas Of
Russia is the most liberal in this re-
spect. During his brief visit to France
three years ago he spent $4,000 on
tips to servants and almost as much
on presents to officials and others.
King Edward Of England is not quite
so generous, but as he travels good
deal, both within his own realm and
abroad, he is obliged to lay aside each
year $4,000 as an allowance for tips.
Emperor William Of Germany is more
generous in a foreign country than at
home, and during his recent visit to
Cowes, England, he spent not less
than $4,000 on tips. Of the remaining
rulers some spend reasonable sums
and others very little, but probably
quite as much as they can Afford

Mr.. Matias and his wife have taken a

parody Of the familiar sign, "Out at

The decay Of certain words often in
dicates a change or loss in the qualities
they denote. The words respectable"
and decent" are ceasing in some quar-
tiers to bear their old dignity. They
are often terms Of faint praise to-day,
but our grandmothers used them with
weight and consideration We need a
revival Of enthusiasm for those words
and for the qualities and traditions
which the words represent. Every town
contains young men who sheer at these
everyday virtues. 1t is not easy to say
just when the unwelcome change takes
place in the character of youth This
month he goes to school and to church
with wholesome pride in his good
standing and behavior. Suddenly he
concludes that he has no use for his
Sunday school class, and presently that
he will not trouble himself further
about his lessons. Dvening study gives
place to evening idleness; Sunday de-
cency to Sunday loafing; and the re-
spectacle boy has become rowdy. The
grim evolution does not stop here. The
young man finds the church too re-
spectacle for him. He has no taste for
any public service. If he works at all
it Is half-heartedly. His vulgar asso-
Citations are likely to entrap him into
an early marriage with a wife as far
from responsibility as himself. The dis
dain Of all that Is good comes even
more easily to his children than to
himself. SO, year by year, the miser-
able ranks Of the "ne'er-do-weels" are
recruited, and the village labors under
the lightweight of the men and boys
who, while neither criminals nor
tramps, are scarcely better. TO stay
this easy descent is no small task. It
must begin by the elevation Of the old
fashioned virtues. Decency has not so
inspiring a sound as bravery, but it is
a fine everyday companion. To be re-
spectacle has not the fascination of
being rich or powerful; but the
strength Of the nation rests upon the
responsibility Of the many rather than
upon the wealth or the power Of the
few.

EARLY Instances of Tree Protection

EARLY Instances of Tree Protection
Perhaps the earliest protection to-
trees in the colonies was in Massachu-
sets, for in 1887 Watertown was
moved to pass vote at town meet
ing ito mark the shade trees by the,
roadside with 'W' and fning any
person who shall fell one Of the trees
thus marked eighteen shillings." h
eter, N. H., was a close second, when,
In l64O, regulations were passed re-
gardlng the cutting Of some oak trees.
In 1898 the Massachusetts Agricultur-
al Society offered prizes to the person
who should cut the trees from the most
land in three years; however, so alarm
ing a decrease in forest area was
shown by reports received at the time
that the policy was speedily reversed
and prizes were offered for the plant
ing Of trees and the management of
WOodlots.-The Chautauquan.
