Chinese Worship Of Ane.,,or,.

The one spiritual force that DOM
mates every class of society in Chi
ma is ancestor worship. In the Chi
nese religion there is no other that
can take its place for a moment. A
man may or may not worship idols.
He may express his utter skeptic-
ism about them or profess belief in
them. No one cares what he
thinks. Let him, however. neglect
the worship of the dead and he is
looked upon and pointed to with
the bitterest scorn both by his own
relations and by his neighbors. The
worst taunt that the heather can
hurl against the Christian, and the
one that stings him most, is the
sneering statement that he has no
ancestors-New York Tribune.

A STUDENT JOKE.


Professor Elias LOOMS for man

Professor LOOMS repeated each
year TO the junior class a course OF
lectures on physics. The lectures
were illustrated by experiments,
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle Of the well
known air gun.
The students of each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
side Of the room remote from the
platform a small target. After ex-
planning the operation of the gun
Professor LOOMS was in the habit
of landing three of its proiectiles

GET BUSY THE BEST REMEDY

Every community is cursed by class
OF people who make it their business to
attend to everybody's business but their
own. Such people are the meanest speci-
mems of depraved humanity which an all
wise Providence permits to exist on this
green earth, says an exchange. There is,
as We all know, but, one Of two motives
in the minds of those persons who are
forever poking into others affairs-to de.
tract from some ones good reputation or
to be thought know.alls. As crows feed
on carrion, so do busybodies and med
Iers in other mems matter fatten on gos-
sip and conjecture, on the mysterious in.
nuendo and the distorted tale. Halftruths
are insinuations and bold face lies and
Misrepresentation are the only grstuities
freely-dispensed by these contemptible
gossip mongers. They are profigate with
invented or amplified news and with glee
and sinister design they retail every bit of
scandal they can cram into their ever
open ears. Once in, the process Of distor.
ton and magnifying begins, while in the
meantime the oiling of the tongue mech
anism is thoroughly attended to. Every.
thing is ready and all that is needed is a
willing listener-often only too easy TO
find. PIautus had it about right when
be said: "Those men who carry about
and who listen to accusations should all
be hanged-the carries by their tongues,
the listeners by their ears" Both are in
the same category-and each is as COM
temptible as the other.

HOBBLE WALK TO co

Among the novelties of interest to the
feminine world promised for the early
autumn none is more likely to make ra-
dical change in the appearance of women
than in the new fall walk. Along With
the new tailored street suit and her me.
talIic sutumn hat every woman who con.
siders herself at all in the fashion will be
expected to adopt style Of gait radically
different from that which she has been
using for the last few months.
The word "fall' as used to describe the
new style of ambulatory action has a
purely seasonable significance.
In its actual characteristics the new gait
isn't half as much of ''fall" walk as the
one to which all women who aim to be in
the fashion have been using for some
months.
The walk of the present day is a hust-
ling fotter, with abrupt stops at intervals
while the feet of the victim are being dis.
entangled. 1t is the result, of course, of
the tyrannical hobble skirt, with its yard
and half around the lower edge, which
has compelled it's wearers either to.adopt
the wide spreading feet and shuf1ing gait
of stage Uncle Remns or to toe in and
totter like Chinese woman of the bound
foot class. When American women added
their native Instinct for hustling to this
style of foot arrangement the effect was
neither gliding nor graceful.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS

The farm is the ideal place for growing
all kinds of poultry for meat and eggs.
Feed your fowls a sufficient amount oI
animal food, plenty of vegetables and
bulky foods.
Young trees must be carefully cultiva.
TED, kept clear Of weeds and the soil loose
ssu mellow.
To dispose OF a crop at satisfactory
prices is often Of a more difficult problem
than to produceit.
A horse that is too straight in his pos.
ture jars himself and gets all the concus,
sions of the road.
The thermometer must be used as regu.
larly in the dairy during the summer as
during the winter.
1t weakens the horses to keep them
shut up in close stable during the hot
nights. Turn them out.
II a soil lacks water some form of ferliti
zers are positive detriment if they are
present in abundance.
It is common sense that a mature SOW
will produce larger and more perfect pigs
than very young one.
Butter made in a sanitary dairy is al
ways easier to keep than that which is
made under poor conditions.
Don't let the buck run with the does
when his breeding season is over, but
confne him in pen by himself.
Dairy bred stock is scarce, and it will
take many years to apply the rapidly in
creasing demand for dairy bred cattle.

Beans can be turned into cash the quick
est of any farm crop, as it is possible tc
sell them in ninety days from planting.
] Hogs will not thrive on sour and de-
composed food any more than men will
See that they get fresh, clean water to
drink.
Cabbage is one of the easiest vegetables
to start from seed and to transplant and
to be made to grow in the garden or field.
An incubator will not run itself any
more than an automobile will. A human
brain must stand back of the best ma
chine invented.
Woman as "a rule are more progressive
and quicker to seize new idea and put it
into practice in the poultry yard than the
sterner sex.
Plenty of coal ashes where the fowls
can roll and scratch in them will settle
the question, without the uss of powder
or liquid lice exterminaters.
The fall fresh COW is the preferable COW
and if you have not come to realize this,
just try this year and see if you will not
be readily converted.
Sunshine is necessary in the milk house
in the winter time, but just now all the
shade that can be found will be accepta-

Il pays to supply The fowls, especially
growing ones, With charcoal, ground bone
either fresh or dry; oyster and clam shells
and continual supply of best grit.
A good way to avoid the credit system
is to grow the living at home. It is usu.
ally possible to grow the most expensive.
yet the most necessary, articles of food on
the farm.
At our present rate of deforestatiou fuel
ana ienclng materials will be very scarce
within few years. Plant waste lands in
forest trees to supply the timber required
on the farm.
Arrange to save seed of the best varie-
ties OF potatoes, pumpkins, squashes and
other garden products for next seasons
planting. Then you will be sure Of plenty
of good seed.
Many fail with sheep because they fail
to keep the breeds that are best adapted
to their farms and do not raise the kind
that the market demands and is ready TO
pay the highest price for.
Save the droopings from the poultry
house. Fertilizer of equal value, if bought
on the market, will cost you $50 or more
a ton. For the easier gathering and hand.
ling of this fertilizer, platform of boards
should be placed under the roosts. This
platform should be seraped clean at least
twice week.

There is no danger of cleaning the
dairy utensils too much.
For the,man who never has kept poul.

Anything that is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll. This applies to every
branch of farming.
Leave ten feet Of space at each end Of
the garden for turning rows and seed
these spaces to grass for wide end walks.
Cows should be miIkef regularly, and
as nearly as possible by the same persons
and at the same hour each night and
morning.
Plant plenty of sweet corn. 1t iss
wholesome food, and the surplus, stalks
and all is the very finest food for cows
and horses.
Remember to supply plenty Of grit to
the young poultry They need it as much
as mature birds. Grit forms part of their
digestive system.
Earthen Water-fountsins in the poultry
yard are better than tin -0nes. The f5rn-
er will keep the water cooler in summer
and warmer in winter.

vines may be placed along the spaces next

Some very smart utility blouses and

these and touch of velvet, or satin in the
trimmings or buttons brings out the color
scheme.
Raven Blue
Raven blue, that is very dark and rich
looking, is relief after all the insistent
blues Of the past season. Gravs in many
shades to dark gun mental tints are to be
much worn, and black and bronze brown
remain favorites. Striking contrasts in
color in Innings continues, though this
idea has been terribly overdone.
Bizarre Beadings
The same vogue remains for beaded eff
fects in Byzantian and Oriental colorings
and patterns, while the French knotted
embroideries, that closely initiate beads,
have lost none of their prestige.

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS OF THE PENINSULA

many people will suffer hours of agony
rather than be hurt for few minutes.
The dentist finally is as inevitable as
death and taxes, but be is one of the
many things that you can lie to yourself
about for a long while. You can say
you'll go next month or the first of the
year; you can pretend that the unpleas.
ant sensation in the side of your head re.
suits merely from a cold and will pass
away. Like the moderate drinker"
whose digestion is going wrong you can
tell yourself that the laws of Nature will
probably be miraculoasly suspended in
your behalf and the cavity in your tooth
will presently disappear without taking
the tooth with it. As with a hundred
other bad or foolish practices, you can
dodge and pretend and procrastinate for
quite spell.
Meanwhile the dentist is waiting for
you in serene assurance. From time to
time he merely takes the auger out Of his
electric drill and replaces it with one
size larger. If you put off going long n
