China has four state established re-
ligions, and In each the emperor exer-
cises sacerdotal functions. Twice a
year the emperor as "son Of heaven"
worships before the tablet of Shang III
or supreme heaven in accordance with
the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice a year he burns incense before
the tablets of bis ancestors In accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice a
year he sacrifices to the gods of Tao
ism and twice a year to the image of
Buddha. The ancient and primitive
religion of China is monotheistic. but
this direct worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people, so that 1t
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son of heaven" and as priest
of the nation. The people on their
part worshiped their ancestors, and it
was this ancestral religion which Con-
fueius identified himself with and re-
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao
ism, which is polytheistlc and the re-
ligion Of the populace. Then Bud
dhism came into China about 65 A. D..
and, like the other three religions, be-
came state supported and state en-
lowed

Snunezad the Snueezers.

II Is said that when Mr.. Yerkes be-
gan to make money some of the banks
from which he had borrowed thought
to squeeze" him by demanding in
slant repayment or Il large considera-
ton for further time. He was invited
to call on one of these "ba nkers' and
there met the others. Their demand
was made, and their victim seemed at
their mercy They did not, however,
know the resourcefulness of Mr..
Yerkes, who retaliated by remarking;
"Well, l owe lot to all the banks
here, and I'll just publish statement
tomorrow in the papers, giving the full
amounts and stating my inability to
pay. This will make such q run on
the banks that they will soon be as
broke as should. and therefore shall
not be the only sufferer"
The "squeezers' recognized the truth
of this and so withdrew their demand.
Mr.. Yerkes, however. refused to with
draw his threat unless they lent him
another $4,000. They did so.

A Cure For Insomnia.

Next time your slumber fails to ar
rive on schedule time cast all thought
Of sleep from your mind and start in
to name to yourself all the friends
You have had or now possess It's
much more interesting than counting
sheep. Perhaps you have only one
friend, but one is enough-he may be
the more appreciated. Just think OF
how you came to know each other. of
how the friendship developed and Of
the happy incidents that have marked
your acquaintance. Or, If you have
no earthly friends whatever. LET your
thought dwell upon the great Friend
of the friendless and how you came to
know him. Somehow the most pre-
cious of our earthly friendships seem
poor compared to this one that dis
lance and time and even death itself
cannot sever. And there is one advan-
tage in this attempt to defeat in
somnia-even your wakefulness will
be enjoyable and restful.-Interior.

Just how possum ought to be killed
and cooked Is told In the Atlanta Con-
stitution by an expert known far and
wide In Georgia. He says:
ITO kill possum his head should be
placed beneath stick. Stand on the
stick and pull the possum's tail until
his neck Is broken. A possum requires
careful treatment, and to cook one to
perfection a peculiar arrangement is
necessary. A pan on legs should be
provided with hole In one end which
can be plugged. Goals placed under
the pan will slowly cook the possum,
and as the grease runs out of the car
cass 1t should be drawn off from time to
time. All the time the carcass should
be basted with a sauce made of pep
per and vinegar. In the meantime the
potatoes should be boiled When the
possum Is almost done the potatoes
should be packed in the pan around
the possum. little sugar sprinkled
SSer - scribe
has been drawn Off from the pan
should be poured on, after which pos
sum and potatoes should be Drowned
