The paper gave a short history of the
origin and purposes Of the movement, fol-
lowing which DIR. jerks said:
This promises to become one of the
most ~far-reaching movements OF modern
times. 1t is a movement of Investigation,
agitation and organization, founded on the
cry OF the hour and age for world evange-
llzation. 1t is an organization by which
the laymen cooperate with the ministers
and church boards in a world enterprise.
It is an organization Of the material forces
OF the world such as never before was SEEN
1.-The church of God is facing a great
task. This is not a degenerate, but a
Vlrile age. Today is laymen's day. Gods
spirit is laying upon the laymen a minis
terial duty. 1t Is a mans task. an heroic
one. ? II is no longer the dream Of the en-
thusiast. but the practical demonstration
Of the capabilities OF men OF action. II
is an analysis OF values carrying with II
the truest idea OF Stewardship,
The laymen's movement in this city has
the right TO expect the cooperation of the
pulpit. and will receive it. Denominations

toward unity in Gods work"

LEARNING ART OF COUNTING
African savases Have Interesting
Method Of Calcuiating-Use
Both Feet and Hands.

Do you remember learning to
count? / dare say not. But I am
pretty sure you learned to count on
your fingers, or perhaps you were
given bright counters or shells to use
instead
Savages learn to count in just the
same ways; most Of them use their
fingers, and so they learn to count
by tens as we do. and some OF them
give their numbers very funny names.
The Indians on the Orinoco call five
zone hand" and ten two hands" But
they use their feet as well and call
fifteen whole foot" sixteen zone to
the other foot" and twenty zone
man" This plan becomes very COM
plicated with higher figures, for twen-
ty-one is "one to the hand of the next
man"
The African savages count in much
the same way. The Zulu for six Is
'tatisitupa," which means taking the
thumb" that is, the man who Is
counting has used the five fingers Of
one hand, and is beginning to use the
second hand. starting at the thumb.
Some races use the joints of the
finger instead of the fingers them
selves, and they are very badly off.
for they can only count up to three.
Some Australian tribes count thus
one, two, two-one, two-two, and can
go no further. Other races have only
three words, "one," "two," "a great
many"
But savages sometimes use other
things for counting than fingers or
joints. Our own word Calculate"
means working with pebbles" One
African tribe calls forty ,"ogodze," !"
which means String" because they
use cowrie shells strung together by
forties for counting. Their name for
hundred is "yha," which means
"heap"-tbat is, heap of cowries

ton through long standing in the cis-
tern. The device consists of a water
tight circular catch basin about three
feet in depth and diameter to which Is
fitted tight cover to prevent the en-
trance of surface water and other i'm
purities. This basin may be construt.
ed for either concrete or brick and
may be separate, as shown, or built
into the wall of the cistern. It's size
will OF course depend upon the area
OF the roof and the amount Of rainfall.
The inlet pipe or conductor from the
caves trough should enter the basin
near the bottom SO that the water
must rise up through the coarse grav-
Ell strainer before it can enter the
screened pipe emptying into the cis-
tern. The gravel should be covered
with a grating or coarse wire screen
to keep 1t in place.
simple form of cistern filter may
be built by putting in a wall of porous
bricks set on edge about two feet
from the cistern wall. The brick wall
may be about three feet in height and
the chamber thus formed should be
arched over with brick so as to pre-
vent the free entrance of water. A
great deal of water will percolate
through the bricks but it is necessary
to provide screened openings near the
bottom. A layer of gravel and sand
Is placed in the bottom of the cham
Der and should extend well above the
openings. The gravel should be GOV.
cred with wire screen to keep it in
place. The end of the suction pipe
should come within a few inches of
the sand and should be covered with a

screen. A small clean-out door near
the bottom will be found convenient.
This type of filter can be very easily
installed in an old cistern but where
new cistern is to be built a filter
constructed in the bottom of the cis-
tern as shown in the figure will be
found simple, effective and convenient
to clean. A sewer tile 21s feet in di-
ameter forms an ample reservoir for
the filtered water. The water enters
through holes cut near the lower end
OF the tile. A strip of wire cloth is
wound around the tile so as to cover
the holes and prevent the entrance of
gravel or sand. The cover must be
water tight and should be cemented
into the bell of the tile. A circular
space one foot in width around the
tile provides ample space for a large
quantity Of f1ltering material. The
pressure of the water above the filter
will make its action efficient and rap
i'd.

(By r. NJ. DOLVE. North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)
In the country the problem OF secur-
ing an adequate supply of pure water
for the household is often a vexing
one. The well water is frequently so
hard as to render it unfit for drinking
and other domestic purposes SO that
1t becomes necessary to store rain
water collected from the roofs of the
farm buildings. Rain water, although
1t always collects some impurities in
its downward path, is practically pure
as 1t falls from the clouds; but on the
roofs and in the caves troughs it col
lects not only dust but hits of twigs,
leaves, decaying vegetable matter,
bird manure and impurities of every
description. These impurities polute
the water so that when stored 1t be-
comes discolored, tastes badly, often
has foul odor and is a menace to the
health of those who use it.
Proper precautions should there
fore, be taken to purify the water be-
fore it is used; the most common and
effective way is by means of filtration.
The filter is usually placed in the bot
tom of the cistern and so arranged
that the water is filtered as it is being
used. This is not entirely satisfactory
for the organic impurities contained
in the cistern will often be foul and
discolor the water to such an extent
that an ordinary sand filter is made
quate to purify it. The correct way is
plainly to separate as much of the i'm
purities as possible before the water
enters the cistern. This may be done
by turning the first washings from the

GAME is VERY INTERESTING
Two Of Company Agree on certaLs
Word and Person Guessing II
Selects a Partner.

To play this game successfully. twu
O. the company must privately agree
upon word that has several mean.
fngs. The two then enter into con.
versation, which is obliged to be about
the word they have chosen, whilst the
remainder of the company listen.
When a member of the company
imagines that he has guessed the
word, he may join in the conversation,
but If he finds he is mistaken he must
Immediately retire.
To give an illustration: Supposing
the two players who start the conver.
sation decide upon the word box.
They might talk about the people they
had seen at the theater and the par
ticular part of the house in which they
were sitting. They they might say
how nice it looked in a garden, and
one might mention that it grew into
big trees. Perhaps one Of the com.
pany might imagine that he had guess.
ed the word correctly and join in
when the conversation would be i'm.
mediately changed, and the two
would begin to converse about a huge
case in which very great number of
things were packed away. BY this
time possibly the person who Joined
in the conversation will leave of,
completely mystified.
If, however, the word should be
correctly guessed. the person guessing
1t chooses a partner and they together
select a word and the game begins
again.
