are comparatively modern. Bone and
glass needles have been found in Egyp-

1000 years old, and similar domestic
instruments Of bronze and copper have
been found in the mounds and burial
caves Of Europe and America which
are believed to be much older than
those found with the Nile mummies.

A Faith that Helped Others.

in God.
II went to health resort, which

morning l attended church. There
met schOOlmate Of many years before,
and called on her the next day. She
had married since l knew her, and
had had Il happy home, but she is a
widow now. Her children died. and
her husband suffered distressing ac-

She took him to an asylum. and al

able summer resort, and there she has
lived and struggled on with her bur-
den.
For a long time 1t seemed more
than she could bear. Her heart was
hot and bitter. The humiliation Of
her present life in its pathetic contrast
with her past and with her hopes for
the future seemed to make trust in God
impossible.
But after long time there came to
her some suggestion Of a deeper mean
Ing in her mlsfortunes. Her life, mar
rowed and humbled as 1t was, was not
without It's possibilities for usefulness.
When at last the death Of her husband
brought here face to face with the in
evitable, she conquered her doubts and
rebellious impulses, and there ensued n
tranquility of spirit which has ever
since blessed her own life and the lives
Of others.
"When I heard her story, and saw
what her faith had done for her,
thought again Of my own disappoint-
ments. They seemed smaller. l re-
membered my home, my wife and my

JOURNALISM IN CHINA.

Dialect Sheets Increase Gulf De-
tween Provinces.
United States Consul Anderson Mt
Annoy has made a report on journS lism
among the Chinese, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger. He says:
1T is rather surprising, In view Of
the comparatively small population Of
foreigners in China, how many large
publications there are In foreign Ian
guages. The prices they obtain for
their publications and their work prob
ably explain the situation. Shanghai
has five daily newspapers, three morn
ing and two evening papers; one is
French. 1t has six foreign weeklies,
one German. 1t also has four Chinese
dailies and u large number Of Chinese
weeklies.
practically all of the foreign papers
sell for Az cents gold per copy. The
subscription price IS about SIS gold per
annum, postage extra. The Chinese
dallles sell for about cent gold per
copy. In addition to these publica-
lions there are many religious papers,
mostly In Chinese, published by the
mission authorities.
"In the south HOngkOng dominates
the publication business, and as it is u
British colony English publications
might reasonably be expected to lead,
but on the face of the record the Chi
nese predominant. There are four Eng
fish dallies, the Post, the Press. both
morning papers, and the Telegram and
Mail, both evening papers.
''Thcre are six Chinese dailies, and,
as in the case of Shanghai, there are a
large number of publications designed
to fill various wants in South China,
a Portuguese weekly and the govern
ment gazette being among them. In
nearly every port of Importance In
China there Is an English publication
of some sort
'1he publishing houses, rs rule,
both newspaper concerns and concerns
for general printing only, are fairly
we'll equipped for their work. Some Of
them attempt work In the line of high
grade magazine and book publishing,
and, while 1t Is not always an unmiXed
success from a technical typographical
standpoint, 1t demonstrates that the
Chinese wOrkmen. who do most Of the
work under foreign supervision, will In
time acquire considerable merit in this
line of effort.
ut is rather interesting to note that
China at present seems to be passing
through much the same process with
its newspapers and other publications
that many parts of the United States
have passed through. All over the en-
plre native newspapers are being start
ed in the colloquial dialects, and are
more or less local in character.
ut is unfortunate In many respects
that the publication of newspapers In
the several local dialects has developed
so generally. While such publications
will afford means Of educating the peo-
pie Of the empire in some lines, they al
so furnish the means of deepening the
CULTS dividing the several provinces
which differ in dialects. Each news
paper center, If 1t performs its nat
ural mission, will develop Its own Ian
guage in its own field to the exclusion
of a language which might in time be-
come common for all China"

Work on Irrigation Dam

North Yakima, Sept. 29.-Consult-

the fact that the government would

ton of dam across the Yakima river

The new dam will be solid concrete

in height. The work will cost about
$50, 900. 1t will be carried on under
the direct supervision Of the govern

Salt of Life.

A life without hard work would be
fiat and stale. 1.-The salt Of life Is
work." it has been said; and the salt
that each ones life most needs Is the
particular work that God has laid up
on that one. 1t Is we'll to remember
this when ones own work seems to be
a misfit-and probably no one ever
lived who was not at one time or an
other tempted to feel that about him
self. This is part Of the very saltiness
Of work; 1t puts tang and life and
temper into character to keep at a
thing when only logged self forcing can
hold one to 1t. Let us be glad that the
salt Of our life is chosen for us; If we
made our own choice we should too
often take sugar instead Of salt, and
the system could not long stand that.
