Bottled Money Thrown Away.

"While walking through the West
chester County hills looking for dog
wood last Sunday" said a Harlem
grocer, Il came upon an acquaintance
who was with party picknicking on
a shady hillside. Introductions were in
order and I was asked to have bottle
Of soda. Five of us clinked bottles
and disposed of their contents without
the aid Of glasses. AS each man fin
ished his bottle he threw it down the
hill into a clump of bushes. They were
good, sound. patent-stopper bottles
that it costs five cents each to manu-
facture.
Don't you take the bottles home
with you? 1 inquired.
"My host looked at me in amazement.
I should say not he said; 1T is hard
enough to carry three dozen out here,
without Juggling the bottles all the way
back. I never knew anybody to do
that .a-;~s

make a pretense of asking for de-

Missions in Eastern Asia.-Psa. u.
q, 2S; Jer. 16. 19


Our Scripture selections are pro
phecies concerning the conversion OF
the Gentiles to Christ and have spec
ial reference to modern missionary
operations. Our selection from
psalms Is one Of the Old Testament
expressions foretelling Messiah's uni
versal reign. This Is being speedily
fulfilled as the great nations OF
heathenfsm are being permeated with
gospel influence. Jeremiah's prop
hetical prayer for the heather has the
same Interpretation. The nations will
repudiate the supersititions Of heath
enism and accept the gospel OF
Christ.
Eastern Asia is term which Is
used to designate our Missions In
China, Korea, and Japan. 1t should
possibly take in our work In the
Philippine Islands, but they are em-
braced in our Malaysian work, which
is under the Southern Asia work.
The field embraces the FIVE great
Conferences in China with her four
hundred millions-the Foochow, the
Hinghua, the Central China, the North
China. and the West China Mission.
It takes in also the two Conferences
in Japan-the Japan and the South
Japan. It also embraces the Korean
Mission.
The China Mission was begun In
1S47 by Revs. Judson D. Collins and
Moses C. White. They began at
Foochow, and from their work It has
spread to nearly every part Of the
empire. The Foochow Conference en-
braces the Fukien Province, and was
organized into a Conference In 1877.
The Hinghua Mission Conference In
cludes two perfectures Of the Fukien
Province, and was opened in 1864 and
organized as a Conference in 1896.
The Central China Mission was be-
gun in 1867 by workers from the
Foochow, and set apart as a Mission
In 1869. It includes Central China
with headquarters at Marking. North
China Conference includes the north.
ern provinces Of Shantung and Hohan.
Work was begun in 1869, and the Con-
ference was organized in 1893. The
West China Mission is in the western
part of the empire, the farthest re-
moved to all Missions from the United
States. 1t was opened in 1881.
Work was begun in Japan by our
church in 1873. DR.. Maclay founded
the Mission. The work in the north.
ern part was organized into Con-
ference in 1884. Work was begun In
Nagasaki in 1873 by DR.. Davidson,
which was organized into Mission
Conference in 1898. This South ia
pan Conference embraces the southern
one of the four large islands Of the
empire and Formosa.

Remedy for Heart Trouble.

The optimist, organ Of the "Nolens
Volens" colony at Jackson. prints
cut of the prison. In the dome OF
the main building Is shown open win
dows in the highest portion. The oc-
companying comment narrates that
many years ago a prisoner attempted
his liberty by means Of rope down
which he was sliding when the cord
parted and he fell, first to the roof OF
the central building, then, bounding
from thence, hit the top OF the cell
block, where he acquired sufficient
elasticity to land him on the ground.
These unexpected incidents confused
him and he was captured. Singulariy
the misfortune of his failure was not
unmitigated. He had been so al
flicted with heart disease as to be un-
able to lie down for months. The fall
knocked it completely out OF him and
he was enabled thereafter to sleep
like a top" The Optimist cheerfuily
invites the palpitating public to come
and try the remedy.-Detroit Tribune.

Do not be deferred from having 4
small fruit garden because your soil is
not just what the books recommended.
\ lot of nonsense has been written
and passed along concerning the criti-
cal tastes, about the soil they grow in,
Of different fruits and vegetables.
Fruits do have preferences, but they
are not nearly so particular in this re-
spect as many persons would try to
make us believe. They have 4 COM
Portable way Of adapting themselves
to almost any kind of soil. provided it
is not very rocky, nor very shallow,
nor very wet. II you do not have sat-
isfactOry results with small fruits, it
Is much more likely to be your fault
than the fault of the soil.

BARRELS OR BOXES FOR APPLES

Would not consumption be doubled
If apples were put up in small pack
ages like other fruits so the consum-
er could get them in the original pack
age? If the advance in the price OF
barrels is due, as many think it is, to
a pool or trust, land will say there
are reasons for this belief" and there
is plenty of timber, the remedy lies in
the apple growers Of the country
through the National Apple Growers
Congrass or some organization to put
machinery in operation cutting it into
cooperage. We are not assuming that
there is any trust. but we notice each
recurring year that barrels can be had
If we pay the advance in price. 1t is
a question. however. if we could Sc
cure barrels at twenty-five cents each
again. whether it is the package we
should use. We are Of the opinion that
the extended distribution in a retail
way necessary for the consumption OF
cur large apple crops cannot be
reached by the use Of the barrel. 1t
may be said that for storage and eX-
port trade we will have to use barrels.
If only barrels are used for this it
would relieve the barrel situation that
much. Still would not case holding
half barrel in use be more satisfac-
tory for storage and export?-G. T..

The answering CHORD.
By MAMIE BYRD TURNER.

The city's tumuit surges high
Here in this noisy. struggling street;
With fretful voice and hurried feet
The restless morning march goes by.
A thousand sounds are born and die,
But one that viii not faint nor fail,
Keeps up its slow monotony-
An old Street-orran's plaintive wall.
a beccar. tremuious and blind.
Is PLAYING dreary airs that must
Earn from the world daily crust
As long as weary hands can grind:
But scant the wages that they find,
For nowhere in the jostling throng
Are lives with leisure left to heed
The crude petition OF song.
Chatter and rush and dust and CRIME
And the hot tired morning done.
But not listener had they won
The faulty tune, the halting time;
When with the sudden noonday chime
Erom out the Jingling medley come.
IKE words of comfort healing pain.
The tender notes OF Home, Sweet Home.
"There is no place like home" he says.
The old. forsa6en, homeless man.
With sonl too worn and warped to span
The pathos of the thing he plays
And somewhere in the crowded ways
Men hear old, silent voices sing.
And, spite the currents onward sweep,
Faiter a while, remembering.
"No place, no place like home''-the word
Grows faint and fainter down the street,
And somewhere slower pass the feet.
And somewhere sudden tears are stirred,
And dim, far whisperings are heard
In hearts that deemed them surely deads
And one petitioner has gained
The penny for his daily bread.

TO REMOVE COAL OIL SPOTS.

lead to valuable experience. Not long

tanning a pint of oil and the entire
contents were spilled on the carpet. l
Immediately covered the spot made by
the oil with buckwheat -four and
scrubbed it into the carpet with a
coarse brush. then swept it up and
put on a fresh supply, (which l rubbed
in as before. The third time l left
the -four OH over night and in the morn
ing, when after another scrubbing
with a clean, dry orush I swept it up,
not even a trace Of the kerosene re-
mained and my carpet is as good as it
was before the accident.-Mrs. D. y

Missions in Japan. Micah S: 2, q
IL, 13.
Christ has always been Ruler
Christianity Is wonderfully infue1
tial in the parliament Of Japan.
Christianity, becoming great TO
the ends Of the earth"-the antipodes
of the place where it started-has
come back around the world again to
make the great Asiatic nations among
which it started.
Much of pagan religion is mere
witchcraft, and all witchcrnft ist
based upon fear, and Is therefore
conquered by the gospel OF love and
trust.
That men will worship even the
work of their own hands Is PROOF
that the religious instinct is innate
IN the human heart, 1t is God-giVen.
Mission Notes from Japan.
There are in Japan over 5o,ooo
Protestant Christians.
Twenty-Five Protesta-t bodies nave
missions in Japan, and OF these tne
Presbyterians and Congregationalists
have the largest number Of converts
II 500 each, and also the largest num-
Der of self.supporting churches, 81
and % respectively
Baron Maejima, an ex-cabinet ON
Ger, recently declared, Il am con-
vinced that the religion OF Christ is
the one most full Of strength and
promise for the nation"
An admiral and chief justice have
been vlce.presidents Of the Y. M. Z.
A. of Japan, and its president the
president of the lower house OF the
Jananesa narliament-all Christians.
The seven Presbyterian denomina-
tions at work in Japan are all united;
so are the four Episcopal bodies, ana
the Lutherans and the six Metnodist
denominations have also agreed upon
a plan for union.
A Japanese wife refused to perform
some disagreeable manual labor fof
her husband, and he at once di->
yorced her; but. the courts upheld her

in Japan.
One Of the most beautiful Of recent
converts in Japan is a woman VINO
from birth has been able to move
no part Of her body but her head;
but she uses her mouth for Christ,
and conducts prayers in her ward OF
the hospital.
The Protestants of Japan are about
one in a thousand Of the population,
but the Protestant members OF the
National House Of Representatives
are more than one in a hundred.

POSITION FOR A BED.

There are two good rules on the
proper position of a bed. 1t should
never be placed against the wall.
where there is often an imperceptible
dampness. 1t should never stand in
recess or corner where there is not
constant circulation of fresh air. Dull
headaches in the morning can nearly
always be traced to sleeping in bed

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothins but an inilamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by
