An undertaking of extraordinary impor-
lance is at present being conducted by the
census bureau of the United States and
the Jewish Publication Society of America
in cooperation with each other. Data con-
corning Jewish organizations in every part
of the country are being collected for two
purposes. The government will base Its
Jewish religious statistics upon the results
of the inquiry, and the publication society
will compile a directory of Jewish organi-
cations in the United States for the issue
of the American Jewish Year Book for
$685.
Nearly all the large religious bodies in
America have a central organization from
which our government is obtaining the sta
tistics it needs regarding them. AS Jewish
congregations are autonomous, and the two
unions that exist, the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations and the Union of Or
thodox Jewish Congregations, embrace only
a limited number of them, the census bu-
reau would have had to communicate with
considerably over 1000 bodies. This diff
Guilty induced it to enter into an arrange
ment with the publication society by which
the editor of the American Jewish Year
Book acts as its special agent.
AS for the directory, it is said. there can

MORE PROTESTANTS
FOUND IN SPAIN
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, April 13.-The ninety-sixth an.
nual report of the American board of COM
missoners for foreign missions, made pub
lie here recently, says:
LAS respects broadly the evangelical
cause in Spain, it may be said that the
various questions which are continually
arising in connection with the fifty or more
organized congregations in Spain, and
which give occasion for interviews with
the authorities In Madrid and for inter-
pellations on the part of the liberal menu
bers of congress in the parliamentary halls,
keep before the public mind the fact of a
growing element of Protestanism, which
has secured an unquestionable status in the
body polite. UnQuestionably the general
feeling in Spain on the part OF the Catho-
lies Is that, whatever the formulas of
remuneration on the part Of Queen Vic
toria may have been, or whatever her
personal acts may be, the effect of the
kings alliance with that historical Pro-
testant family, court and people will be-
to liberalize Spanish sentiment and life.
THE Christian Endeavor Society not only
has become an essential part OF the church
life at the various stations of the American
board, but has also been adopted by other
missions, with the result that today there
are in Spain forty societies.
'One Of the most important moves In the
direction of sef-control and self-support
that has ever taken place in the world is
that which was taken in the past year in
Japan.
with the federation Of two missions OF
the board in South Africa, the East Cen
trail African mission has become the Rho
desia branch of the American board Of
missions in South Africa. During the past
year the work of the mission has been at
fected by such events the completion
of the great Victoria bridge and the dis
covery of gold copper and diamonds within
the colony.
1.-The educational work of the European
Turkey mission was somewhat interfered
with by an order of the Bulgarian govern
ment requiring each teacher in private
schools to have at least the equivalent of
a graduation from the national gymnasium.
Bulgaria is still in it's formative state,
and contempt of religion prevails almost
universally among the educated classes
The great need Is for Christian leaders to
guide the nation.
In spite of the rapid increase in the
number of schools in north China, founded
by Chinese officials and others to give
modern instruction, there is growing de-
mand for Christian education. Tientsin
abounds in schools of all grades, some
paying a bonus, yet Christian schools are
overcrowded and are refusing applicants"

a long way toward organizing the forces

lieved. but If it fails to reach the complete
ness Indispensable in a reference book the
outlay. which Is very great, will remain
the same, but the usefulness of the book
will be badly crippled. 1t Is therefore
hoped that the circulars of the society, of
which more than 1900 have been distrib-
uted, will be honored with an immediate
response.
One of those interested in the movement
said the other day: obviously, a directory
of such dimensions and covering SO large
area can be made complete and accurate
only by the most generous cooperation of
all individuals interested in Jewish affairs.
If there be Jewish organization. either
in the large cities or in the small towns
and country districts, whether of a relig
ious, charitable, educational. social, lit
erary, athletic, civic, or any other char
acter which has not received circular
asking for data, some one identified with
1t should communicate at once with the edi-
tor of the year book, Miss Henrietta Sold.
SIS West 123d street, New York city. And
it should be noted that 1t Is equally Inn
portant to know whether a society previous
ly recorded has disbanded to have the
data of new societies.
Civic pride and Jewish pride should unite
to make the work Of collecting the data Of
unexceptionable and authoritative value"

Working Of Prohibition in Kansas.
From the ToDeka Capital.

The fact that the druggists report more
liquor sales to the probate judge during
months when the lid is on than when the
town Is wide open is not sign that the
iuuor-selling drug stores get the business
that ordinarily goes to the joints. The real
number of sales made by drug stores is not
very materially increased by the closure
of the Joints More sales are reported
merely because the druggists insist on
their customers signing for what they get
Customers are not allowed to drink their
purchases on the premises. If they buy
beer the druggist starts the corks and
they must take them outside to drink.
In filing out the blanks 1t is necessary
for the signer to state tor what purpose he
wants the liquor, and if for medicinal pur-
poses, for what disease In many drug
stores the purchasers merely sign their
names and the druggists fill in the ailment
blank spaces at their convenience. The re-
suit is startling. Colds and stomach trou-
BILE seem to constitute a majority Of the
complaints written in. Following is sum-
mary of the ailments given in one book Of
signed applications for liquor:
Colds, 80; grip s; rubbing, 1; bath, TO-;

Japanese Economy.
From the Reader.


II is estimated that a professional man in
Japan can live. with his wife in comfort on
the sum of $3.50. This means one large
divisible apartment. a small kitchen, a bath
ing garden, one servant, and surroundings
of great refinement. Mats are the covering
of the floor. of course: pillows the seats
table linen is superf1uous where Iacuuered
trays and paper napkins are used; personal
laundry is at its minimum where two hot
baths day are the custom. The faggots
used in cooking are not much larger than a
mans finger and fuel for ironing is unnec-
essary where clothes are stretched properly
upon frame. Perfect privacy is one of
the luXuries of this minute menage, for a
high bamboo fence shuts off the view of
strangers. Each article of the house is
carefully selected and some of them are of
rare beauty and of a ability that per-
mits them to be handed on from one gener-
alton to another. No waste takes place for
every crumb of the food prepared is eaten
Flowers are the chief decorat ton, and the
science of flowers is part of the accom-
plishments of the lady of the house. The
large room. with its several mats and It's
adjustable partitions. becomes at night
time the sleeping place of the several men,
bers of the house. but during the day
quickly is converted into a spacious peace
full. fower-decorated apartment the bed
Of the store room. Simplicity. delicacy and
refinement characterize homes of these
qualities-the homes of the poor who feel no
poverity-the abodes of those who, having
little, would not complain had they even
less.

Secret of Good Fish Lines.
From the Outing Magazine.


In the proper care of lines one Is apt 10
balk 1t is too much trouble to unwind and
dry every time returns from hard
days fishing, and the most We do is to
wind parts to test If any kinks are there.
A silk unvarnished line is the worst to
kink, so that it is always advisable after
the season is over to take the lines from
the reels and wind them on a large wheel.
A careful and prudent brother angler has
devised a unique plan of winding his lines
around bicycle wheel, after the tire has
been removed. Placing the bicycle upside
down he works the pedals and winds it
through an oiled rag. This softens the
lines and keeps them moist and piable, as
we'll as prevents cracking. L refer to the
oiled trout and salmon lines-plaiu silk or
linen need only to be well dried before
winding. Even the best and most expensive
lines become weak and worthless through
want of proper care and attention-it is inn
possible to prevent mildew or rot, unless a
line is put away for the winter in shin
shape order. The sloven who throws his
flies, leaders and lines all in heap, with
the idea OF arranging them on arrival at the
river, finds himself very miserable and III
tempered-especially when in the companv
of friends who are kept waiting ull ms
tackle is fit for work.

satisfied himself that there. at least the
coughing which goes far to spoil the per-
formance is due to reflex irritation propa-
gated from the ear to the larynx Inc
source of irritation, according to him, is 10
be found in the strain on the auditory ap-
paratus induced by the effort to hear what
is said on the stage.
This suggests that actors of the present
day do not know how to use their voices
1t would be comfort to preachers II the
church cough could also be explained by
overstrenuous listening. We fear, however,
that a solution of the riddle is rather to be
not listening, the malady of not marking.
ut is related that once upon time when
an author was reading new play before
actress fell asleep. When the company
