Chile Welcomes Japanese.

In Chile, at any rate, the Japanese
immigrant Is made welcome. The

able inducements to agricultural and
fishing immigrants. Forty acres Of
rich land are given outright to each
settler; 20 more to each son IS years
OF age or more; yoke Of oxen. a set
OF. farm implements and SIS month
In cash for the first year. This Ia re-
garded as an excellent inducement to
the Japanese farmer to leave his lit
tie farm of something less than an
acre and go to Chile. Moreover. q
practical monopoly Of the entire Ash
ing industry of country having 5000
miles of coast Astounding in splendid
fish. but practically without a fishing
class, holds out an additional bait to Q
people versed In sea fishing.

Bell Warns Florists of Danger.

An electric bell tinkled sharply be-
side the florists desk "Frost!" he
said, and ran hatless to the green
houses. "The fires had sunk" the
florist explained on his return. "The
Waterman had fallen asleep. But for
my frost bell I'd have lost hundreds
Of dollars. Frost bells are now pretty
generally used by florists and fruit
growers" he went on. IAN electrical

STORY OF SOUTH SEA SHARK.
He Swallows an Alarm Clock, with
Most Unusual Results.

While crossing among the South sea
islands 30 odd years ago in our pri-
vate yacht, the Haute Flyer, we were
much annoyed by large Irish setter
shark that persisted In following the
ship, says a writer in the Minneapolis
Journal. During the night tho shark
would often climb up on deck and tip
over the garbage can. At one time
Henry Williams, a sailor before the
mast, was bitten on the leg by the
brute. He aimed kick at the brute.
who growled, showed his teeth, and
sunk his fangs into Williams limb be.
fore leaping over the rail into the
sea. ~...
One day the cook, annoyed at his
alarm clock--which persisted in 60
ing of furiously at all hours Of the
night-threw the timepiece overheard.
The shark, always on hand for dainty
tidbits from the galley, took the time
of day at one gulp. For two days aft
er that we heard the clock going In
a muffled way from the interior OF
the surprised shark, who was often
seen with one fin on his head and the
other on the pit Of his stomach, evi.
IDENTIFY trying to diagnose his clock
case.
We were standing on the stern OF
the ship one evening watching the
shark, who was evidently feeling pref
ty sick. Suddenly the clock went OF
on him and the sailors, counting the
strokes, noticed that 1t struck %.
When the shark heard this, he turned
up and died before our eyes.

Henry w. Ely, well known West
field (Mass.) lawyer, once defended q
man who was on trial for murder.
While cross-examining witness he
was interrupted by the Judge, who in.
formed him that he was unnecessarily
using too much Of the courts valuable
time. Turning squarely around Mr..
Ely replied: "Your honor, this Is not
0 question Of time, but q question Of
eternity" II Is needless to say that
Mr.. Ely continued the cross-examina'

Tn. Church and the Liquor
Traffic.
BY JoaEPH COOK

II is often debated whether rum-sel-
ling Is a sin per Sc, or only sin ia It's
consequences. This query need not
detain long an alert and practical mind
Whether sin in itself, or only in its
consequences, or in both respects, it is
certain that rum-selling as business
is so mischievous that after many de-
cades of discussion the general Protes-
tant rIle is to exclude the rum-seller
from church membership. This large
and indisputable temperance fact has
many sides.
Any business which justly ex-
cludes the man who practices IL from
church membership cannot be consis-
tently licensed, or IN any way legalized
10y Christian votes. One and the same
church cannot, without self-contradic-
ton, exclude rum-sellers from church
membership and also favor the legal
sanction of rum-sellers. 1t cannot in
reason or honor with one hand make
rum-sellers and with the other excom-
municate rum-sellers
,. Any business which justly ex-
eludes tie man who prantices it from
church membership cannot be legaliAed
without siA This is the official and
ever memorable declaration of the
Methodist Church in the United States
and is the level to which all Churches
| Chat exclude rum-sellers from church
membership ought in simple Christian
consistency to rise
3. Any business which justly ex-
cludes the man who practices it from
church membership ought not to be le-
galized by the State.
4. Any business which justly ex-
cludes the man who practices it from
church membership cannot be lcgaized
by free State depending upon the
vltes of free church which excludes
rum-sellers from membership, unless
by the disloyalty of Christians to tneii
prir c Pies
3. As no rum-seller cu hit to be
church member, no political>party thai
proposes to legalize rum-selling eau bt
consistently supported by Christian
votes.
These five propositions are only the
d tierent sides of single pentagon |
the churches were consistent will
themselves and were to exhibit unani
nifty within the defences of this penta
gon, there is no political party in th'
nation whose policy in regard to th'
F1quor traffic might not be brough
gradually into harmony with Chistial
principles. Let the churches make thu
liquor traffic an outlaw, and ultimately
the State must do So
