 China is still about one hundred years behind the times. When one goes Into the interior they see the Chi nese using agriculture tools at least a century old. and two thirds of the ma tives of China are agriculturists. Speaking of sermons, did you ever stop to consider what a lot of valuable time is wasted in telling a drunkard anything about the evils of intem- perance. Can one tell him anything that he doesn't know far better than the one who is inclined to lecture?

Boston Herald: The season of colds and
coughs is at hand. can We do about
them? If we are duly vigorous they will
probably wear off: ii not, then IL we do
nothing. il we let them run on, they may
lead to something worse-chronic bron-
chitis, pleurisy. pneumonia. We catch
cold because there is something wrong
with our system. Climatic conditions are
largely responsible. but there are other
factors. Microbes of some sort are at the
bottom of the trouble. We are always
exposed to these more or less, but if the
system Is In proper condition it resists
their attacks.
As the autumn advances street water

and more humid. our pores are ~congested,

waste matter from the system is dimin-

upon other organs; they are likely to
prove UNEQUAL to 1t. more toxic matter,
therefore, is carried through the system
by the blood and with 1t disease is gener-
ated in the most susceptible parts. We
also get less fresh air. there is less venti-
lation in sleeping rooms and in Offices
than in summer But oxygen is needed
to keep the blood in the right state.
