A Queer Harvest.

II was little Ethel's first visit to
church, and the sermon had for its
text, "As We SOW, so shall we reap"
But on her return home she could not
remember it, and in consequence was
chided by her mother for being stupid
A fortnight later a seamstress came
TO the house to do days work. After
watching her for awhile fashion old
style garments into those that were
tn evogue, Ethel suddenly exclaimed:

preacher said. 1t was: What you sew
in the winter you shall rip in, the sum-

Although the Young Mems Christian
association was started by an English
man, the new building which is to be
erected in London as a memorial to
Sir George Williams, the founder, will
probably remind American visitors of

longing to the English organization
which has fully equipped athletic de-

CHINKS WERE APATHETIC

The Chinese people are apathetic
regarding the arrival at Annoy OF the
second squadron of the u. s. battle
ship feet and few natives turned out.
Only 100 Chinese guests will be adj
mitted to the grounds on which the
celebrations planned for the reception
of the American officers and sailors
will be held and the resentment at
the severe measures taken to exclude
the Chinese from participating in the
celebration Is the cause of the apathy
shown.
The British consul has issued a cir
cular, stating that the local officials
have declined to issue more than 60
passes to the Enclosure to British sub
jects, and that In consequence he will
refuse to accept a pass. The ex-
clusiveness is caused by the fear
that some Of the high Chinese officials
might be slain.

THE JOURNAL
Good Influence Of MatrImony.


Statistics seem to show that crime
Il less frequent among married men
than among those enjoying bachelor
existence. Close observation shows
that property rights are more general
ly respected by the married than the
single. The married man does not
commit the graver offenses against
property, such as robbery and fraud,
SO much as the less dangerous crimes.
such as receiving stolen goods, break
ing the laws OF trade, and fraudulent
bankruptcy. Men who are married at
an early age-from is to 25-offend
against property more often than the
unmarried Of the same age, and mar
ried men who are older. This Is prob
ably explained by the pressure OF fam
lily expenses. Offenses against morali-
ty are far more common among I'M
married men-a fact that was to be
expected. Onfenses against human
life are more frequent among the un-
married. though the disproportion Is
not 80 great as In the matter OF rights
OF property. 1t is interesting to note.
says the New York Weekly, that the
criminality of widowers decreases with
advancing years, although this Is prob
ably true Of all men. Widowers. how
ever, contribute greater share OF
crime between the ages OF 80 and SO
than either Of the other classes. This
may be an argument either for or
against marriage. according to the
point Of view. The longer man is mar
ried, the more law-abiding he becomes.
This may be accounted for not only
by the benign Influence Of matrimony.
but also by the fact that the burden
OF married life incident to the larger
birth, rate at that time and the flnan-
cial straits Of the parents is greater in
the early years than It is later. This
Is indicated by the fact that the rate
Of offenses against property falls OF
rapidly with advancing years among
the married.
