The farmer who says hens are
nuisance generally speaks the truth

Sometimes tomatoes fail to ripen on

LIVE WIRES IN THE KITCHEN
Crusade Against short weights and
Measures StirH New York
Households.

The woman who reads the newspapers,
as all New York women do, organizes her
campaign of marketing as she approaches
the business streets, and is ready for the
butcher, the baker, or the grocer before
she reaches his shop. She has absorbed
with deep personal interest every item in
the short-weight campaign, and is ag-
grieVed over the manner in which she
has been shortweighed, short-measured,
and otherwise flim-flammcd In the past,
relates a correspondent of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer
IAN new scales, l see?" she genlally re-
marks to the grocer.
Yes, maam, the old ones were little
shaky. l ordered EN- several months ago.
but they only came last week"
"Oh," says the woman, who knows why
they were ordered. She watches the weigh
ing out, and the grocer, who knows she
is Watching is ostentatious in his determi-
nation that the balance shall fall right,
to the last pinCn o. sugar.
When she selects her boxes Of berries
she pokes her finger to the bottom OF each
to see that there is nothing false there.
She reads the label on every bottle pur-
chased, to see If it conforms to the pure
food law.
! OF each peck of potatoes she asks, How
much does IL weigh" and the grocer has
his boy weigh them in her presence, care
| fully deducting the weight Of the basket.
The grocer has suddenly grown so upright
! that he bends backwards.
She watches the butcher as he prepares
| her roast of beef. When he throws IL on
/ the scales, she has an eye on his hand
| TO see II he weighs 1t In with the other
meat. BY a desperate effort he forgoes
the habit OF years, and let's go the joint.
/ She has saved a half-pound.
When he cuts off the trim she says,
you may send that along for soup stock"
Yes, maam," he says. Heretofore. he
has thrown this aside to be sold to some
one else, although It has been weighed In
against her, and paid for by her.

kitchen, she has the cook count them, as
she has read that the delivery men are in
the habit of taking one out as their toll
for home consumption.
She watches the iceman, and directs him
to make a record daily on card on the
wall as to how much he leaves.
The grocer, the butcher and the baker
have grown very tired Of this campaign
of suspicion and eXaction on the part of
the housewives, but what can they do?
To object is to lose custom. To follow the
good old way of careless weights is Ger
tainly to lose it, They are being taught
that a pound is a pound; a graft is
graft, and that a barrel Of this Or that
means so many pounds. 1t IL a campaign of
education, and consumers are getting what

ACTIVITY IN MISSION WORK

MUCH ATTENTION IS ATTRACTED

BY D. V. FRANCIS.

NEW YORK, July S0-(special Dispatch
10 The Bee.)-No phase of the religious
movement of the world is OF more lively in
terest just now than tho missionary work
being done all over tho world, more es-
peclally in tho far east
Since the Protestant churches took up the
work OF the evangelizatlon of the world
there has never perhaps been a time when
foreign missions have engaged so large a
share OF the attention OF the churches
Among the delegates TO the recent worlds
missionary conference at Edinburgh was
Bishop Herbert Roots Of the missionary
diocese u Hankow. China. Bishop Roots,
who has been stationed in China for four
teen years, IS row here and win remain in
this country for several months 70 attend
the general convention of Protestant Epis-
copal missions TO be held I'm Cincinnati in
the latter part OF October
In speaking OF present conditions in
China Bishop Roots said that in his opinion
the evidences OF resentment In China
against the foreign invasion are due to
the growth OF a national and patriotic
spirit
The Chinese realize their weakness rs
when II comes TO negotiating with foreign
lauons,' said he. "and for this reason they
dew the foreign invasion with suspicion.
No War Against Foreigners.
THE recent trouble In Changsha. the
capital OF Human province, was not caused
by resentment against foreigners. Famine
conditions formed the primary reason and
second cause was industrial trouble
among native builders. Some outside build
ors came to construct houses at Changshs
and the local men didn't like the idea.

Bishop Roots left Hankow on May 20,
bound for the conference and seventeen
days later was in London. This trip,
which included stop Of two days at
Peking ard one day at Moscow. he be-

BY striking coincidence while the Brit

see in this function a dire portent, but the

themselves to extend kindly sympathy to
the great efforts and sacrifices by which
their Romanist fellow subjects have
brought this great work to its conclusion.
The 'no-popery' spirit, by which England
was dominated-not without reason-for 200
