SET UP BOTTLES AS GODS
Killer" Accepted What They
Thought Was Deity.

There are many people In this
country who are given to a worship
OF patent medicines; but it remained
for the East to furnish an instance Of
actual idolatry of empty medicine bot
ties.
An American missionary came upon
a village in Burma where an epidem-
ic was raging. Having with him a
quantity of New England pain kill
err and thinking he might at least
allay the suffering somewhat, he
went from house to house admins
tering the remedy, and left a number
Of bottles to be used after he had
gone. When he returned to the vii
lage some months later he was met
by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted him by
this intelligence; Teacher, we have
come over to your side; the medicine
did US so much good that we have
accepted your god" Overjoyed at this
news, the missionary was conducted

WOMAN IN POLICE SERVICE
Country 10 Slowly Realizing How Val
liable She IL in That Kind OF
Work.

One of the surprises OF evolution has
been the discovery that women have
an appointed work waiting for them
in the police service. The smashing
uerision that used to find a special
point Of application in the idea Of the
woman policeman" is yielding, ginger,
ly but rarely, to the realization that
the country needs women as police
rather more than the women need to
be police officials. The realization
seems to be part of the general real
izatiol Of the human interest mixed
up in the criminals case, the realiza-
ton that you don't finish with that
case by merely experimenting the Grim
inal and affxing the thumb screws,
and the further realization that the
case may be one of many
sides and one of two sexes A
desire to reach the case having
followed upon the realization, it
was perhaps inevitable that women
should be available instruments of sal
