In some countries wood is bought
by weight, and the buyer comes more

they can not conveniently be stacked

Woodlot owners and farmers who
have small forest tracts from which
they expect to sell cordwood, are no
less interested than contractors who
buy and sell large quantities. It will
stand them in hand to know how
much difference it makes whether
wood is cut long or short, chopped or
sawed, whether the sticks are round
or split. whether large or small, and
whether the measurements are to be
made while the wood is green or after
it is seasoned.

Education in the Orient.

TO most of US the Orient is like a
sealed book-books Of wonders and
mysteries and legions, clothed in the
adiectives of 1.-The Arabian Nights. y
It is with something of a shock that
we learn that the enrolment Of the
Calcutta colleges is greater than that
Of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the
University of Chicago. combined, and
that in addition to these ten thous-
and students there are over thirty
thousand boys numbered in the var
ious high schools Of the city.
Toxic leads the globe 50 overwhelm-
ingly in this direction that we could
take the entire population Of the city
of Los Angeles without reaching the
student enrolment of the Japanese
capital.
More than one hundred thousand
students are numbered in the colleges
of Toxic, and the list represents prac-
tically every country OF the Orient.
The most significant feature Of the
situation. however, is not the bulk of
numbers but the elements below the
surface. Ten years ago there were
but two Chinese schools of Toxic.
Today there are more than five
thousand! China, beaten by the force
of Japanese arms and cunning, is sit
ting at the feet Of her conquerer in
the effort to imbibe the secrets Of her
learning and power.
Never in the history of the world
has such migration of students been
recorded as that which the past five
years has seen from the Chinese en-
pire. Often We have sent two thous-
and Of our young men and young wo-
men to the European universities in
years period; Japan at one time
had seventeen hundred of her youth
in our colleges; during the Middle
Ages hundreds of students of all
walks Of life and all countries left
their homes to study under the lead
ership Of Abelard and other intellec-
tual giants Of his time. These fig
ures, however, even when doubled,
will not give US the number of Chin
ese students received at Toxic in a
single year. Yet less than ten years
ago China was accounted the most
secluded nation in the world and less
than twenty years ago scores Of prov
inces refused to allow the telephone
and the telegraph on the argument
that they we're instruments of the
evil one.
But we have not completed the cir
Gle of our statistics. To reach Toxic
over six hundreds of our Chinese
students were forced to complete a
Journey longer in point of time than
that around the world!
China is awake with vengance.-

A Philosopher.

Some time ago there was a flood
in western Pennsylvania. An old fel-

A Woman's Idea of Summer Comfort

To every woman, especially the wo-
man who keeps |house, the topic OF
summer comfort in the home is one
Of never-faiing interest.
This is particularly true where COM
fort in l." kitchen is concerned, as
it is in this one room that the most
trying part Of the work is done: such
as cooking, baking, ironing, and heat
ing water for wash-day purposes.
Even in cool weather such work is
not altogether welcome, but it be-
comes drudgery on days when the
mercury is trying to jump through
the top of the thermometer, aided by
q not stove that diffuses its almost
unbearable heat through the kitch-
en-.
But such days are past. With the
New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook Stove, kitchen drudgery be-
comes kitchen comfort, for this Won
derful stove is so constructed that it
not only produces quick results, but
does it all without perceptibly rals-
inc the kitchen temperature.
All this means real comfort to the
woman who works in the kitchen, es-
pecially when considered with the
added advantages in the saving OF
time; in the doing away with all car
rying of coat, wood and ashes; in
having a stove that can be turned on
or off, high or low, as required; and
in not having to keep it lighted when
not in use.
Then there is the saving of fuel to
be considered; and it is here also that
the New Perfection excels. Although
equipped with three burners 1t has
but one oil reservoir, thus reducing
three separate filling operations to
one.
Besides all this, the ''New Perfec-
ton" is the only oil stove built with
cabinet top. Its commodious top
shelf is particularly useful for warm
ing plates and keeping food hot after
it is cooked. In addition there are
two drop shelves on which may be
set the teapot or coffee pot and small
cooking utensile. Also has two racks
for holding towels.
Altogether the "New Perfection'
is stove of wonderful utility, its ex-
tremely handsome appearance sets off
any kitchen to full advantage. Its
superior to the hot coal range no mat
ter what the point of comparison may
be-or whether regarded as sum-
mer stove only or as a stove for year
round use.
Another household article of un-
usual convenience is the Rayo Lamp,
scientifically constructed lamp that
will adorn any room-whether libra
ry, parlor, dining room Or bed room.
The Rayo Lamp gives "a mellow steady
light that does not tire the eyes. It's
center draft burner Of the latest de-
sign and its fine porcelain shade
make it lamp of combined useful
ness and beauty.
The New Perfection Wick Blue
Flame Oil Copk Stove and the Rayo
Lamp constitute two household ar
ticles that will meet any woman s
idea of home comfort. In the thous-
ands of homes in which they are al
ready used they are making things
cheerful because of their absolute
safety. great simplicity, and wonder
