FATHER OF MODERN MISSIONS
From Poor cobbler William Carey

Efforts.

William Carey, "the father Of
modern MISSIONS" was a shoemaker
by trade, but although poor, he edu-
Gated himself and became Baptist
minister. Even after becoming a
preacher he had to mend shoes, be-
cause the congregation over which
he presided paid him only $3.50 a
week for preaching. By his zeal
BUSINESS Carey inspired earnest Chris
tan men and soon won the esteem
of the most distinguished men.
One day after he had become IA
NOUS and while he was taking din

cred at an adjoining table.

governor was common shoemaker,
Mr.. Carey overheard a diner at an
other table say.

noted missionary said. 81 was never

BRIGANDS SWARM IN PERSIA
They Make Travel There Dangerous,
and the "Guards" Are Almost
az Rapaclous.

Travel in the interior of Persia is
not without its drawbacks, the worst
of these probably being the presence
of numerous bands of brigands. To
guard against the attacks of these
gentry, road guards have been APP
pointed, usually by local tribesmen,
who patrol the highway to see that
no robberies of travellers and cara
vans take place. 1t is case, how
ever, of the remedy being almost as
bad as the disease. These so-called
guards" have become a great nui-
sance, ill-treating and Matchmaking
both travellers and muleteers. They
are supposed to receive certain fixed
fees for their services, but invariably
demand more, and so rapacious have
they become that travellers are usu.
ally quite relieved when they do not
turn up to escort party, preferring
to take their chance of being robbed
by brigands to the certainty of being
bled by the guardians" of the high
way.-Wide World Magazine.

On safe Ground.

he took some young relative with him
as a special treat. On one such occa-
sion he told his seventeen-year-old
grandson, whom he had with him, that
they would "dine at real RESTRAINT,
and get a taste of fancy cooking"
When they were at last seated in
the great dining room, the grandson
waited impatiently while the captain
read the bill of fare completely through
without emitting a single article,
whether domestic or foreign in title.
At last he sighed, and handed the
card across the table to the boy.

Much IA heard OF the taxation Of

There Is an aristocratic club in Lon
don, the Bachelors OF Piccadilly,
whereof the members who so far for
get their loyalty to the club as to
marry are actually expelled and ostra-
cised. The only saving feature Of
such expulsion is that, by the pay

the offending one may retain an hon

tive membership is concerned, he Is
strictly out Of 1t for the rest of his
life.
There is similar organization In
Germany, the Junggesellen Club
Whenever there comes to the officials
of this club any intimation that g
member contemplates matrimony, he
is Immediately summoned for trial In
the club court, with the president as
judge. The culprit is allowed TO plead
in extenuation of his offense, and up
on his skill in presenting such ples
depends the amount Of his fine, which
ranges from one hundred to one thou

Of the fine consists in the application
made. The money is devoted to {

Another rrlumUh Of SURGERY.

Two visiting surgeons at the Mas
sachusetts General hospital, a few
days ago "tied off" the entire right
lung Of patient at the Institution.
Although the operation was an adj
vanced one, the surgeons said that the
anesthetic was administered accord.
ing to new method and 1t was their
belief that the patient would recover.
The difficulty heretofore, when ether
had been given in the normal way,
had been that the patient regained
consciousness before the operation
was concluded. In this instance the
incision was made in the patients
back. The surgeons said that the
method was so new that 1t was yet
impossible to say whether a tubercu.
lous lung could be taken out in the
same way.

NEW TEACHING METHOD.

Miss Henrietta Rodman of New
York says that many high school
girls are martyrs of a system of ed.
ucation which requires them to
"pass" in mathematics and Greek
and Latin, which they may hate and
yet have remarkable ability in other
directions. She has a new plan Of
education to suggest to high school
teachers, which she has tried in her
own school. One of the girls sits at
the desk and she sits among the pu-
pills. The girl teaches for the day,
and, needless to say, has her own les
sons that day. Then Miss Rodman
encourages the girls to study them
selves, and if they cannot learn
Greek and Latin, to find out in what
way they can excel.

SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In pioneer Days IN Missouri Every %
vine Carried Gun With Him
70 Church.

Nearly every pioneer preacher in
Missouri was as expert in the use Of
the rife as any Of the laymen, says a
writer In the GIobe-Democrat. serv-
Ices were usually held In neigh
boris cabin. Notice of a meeting"
was promptly and generally circu-
lated, and the settlers attended, uni
formly bringing their rides to guard
against possible surprises or to OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service.
The practice Of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv-
ices were held In Saline county when
the preacher proclaimed the gospel Of
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from a deer that
he had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers labored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rife and by their
daily toll In the clearings and the
corn fields.
Rev. Justinian williams, Methodist,
and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev.
Thomas Kinney, Baptists, were the
first preachers In Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
lin" as he was called, was a sedate
gentleman, dry as to manners and ser
mons, but with kind heart and good
intention.
His colleague, Kinney, however, was
of a jovial disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments. but invariably provoked his
congregation to laughter. Nowlir
took him to task upon one occasion
for his levity. Kinney answered:
| well, I'd rather preach to laughing
devils than to sleepy ones, as you do
! You make them sleep and 1 MAKE
them laugh. My congregation will
pass yours on the road to heaven.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

An Indianapolis girl spent several
weeks in the south, and lived much
in the open. She cranked the auto
mobile, rode horseback, painted a
fence and in other ways exercised as
usual by doing more than playing
bridge and sitting in rocking chair
on the gallery CHATS what they call
'em in the south). The carpenter
who busted himself here and there
was amazed. The women he had
seen come south for the winter did
not do much work, nor did the
southern women he knew, SO he
looked on the Indianapolis girl with
wonder. One morning he said to the
girls hostess:
"Thats a fine girl you have from
the north. She seems to be able to
do lot of things. Just tell her,
please, that if my wife dies I'll be

Experiments are continually be-l

mails, such as the elephant, the dog.l

less undertaking to ascertain wheth-l

thinks he has succeeded. IsolstinG
two Of the largest specimens Of trop7
ical ants he could find, he so ar
ranged their receptacle that they
could get no food without climbing
over a circular slant into another
compartment. Over this slant, when
the food was not there, he placed q

learned to interpret the signal and
never attempted to climb over i'll
Thinking, after time, that 'N''s
might be something in the IT
which repealed them automatically,
as the bull is affected unpleasantly
by red, he replaced the red cord by
cords of varying colors, always with
the same result after the ants had
made a few excursions over the
slant and come back hungry. Then
he tried plain cloth and even paper,
but the result was invariably tha
same. After a number of trials the
ants refused to climb the slant when
there was any sort of "signal." FL
nally the scientist reversed the sig
nal, having food beyond the SLAM
only when it was visible; and after
an infinite number of trials the ants
accommodated themselves to tina
change.
