WHERE RELIGION is OPEN
Its Observance in Public Is Common
Among Eastern Christians, as
Among Mohammedans.

The Bishop of London has been
praising the openness with which Mo
hammedans practice their religion. He
would like to have mats in the athe-
naeum for bishops to kneel on to say
their prayers in public. Eastern Chris
tians, as the bishop must have OBJ
served when in Russia, are quite as
open in religious obseryances as Mo-
hammedans. Nobody thinks it eccen-
trio for a man to kneel down in
crowded street in order to say his
prayers before some icon. Passengers
cross themselves when their train or
tram starts. No man ever passes
through the Gate of the Savior, lead
ing into the Kremlin at Moscow,
without uncovering. In Poland the
common greeting of the country
people one meets on the lonely roads
across the sad plains is May Jesus
Christ be praised" and it is the GUS
tom to reply, For ever and ever" In
Wilma people are to be seen kneeling
in the street before the Ostrabramska
gateway to pray before the picture of
the Virgin and child, seen through a
window high in the gate. This shrine
Is a Catholic one, but even the ortho-
dox bare their heads to walk up the
narrow and crowded street leading
to It.

KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL NEEDED
Virtue and Progress in the Right Path
Cannot Spring From Mere
Innocence.

Innocence is lovely in the child, be-
cause in harmony with it's nature; but
our path in life is not backward but
onward, and virtue can never be the
offspring of mere innocence. If we
are to progress in the knowledge Of
good, we must also progress in the
knowledge of evil. Every experience
of evil brings its own temptation, and
according to the degree ia which the
evil is recognized and the temptations
resisted will be the value of the char
acter into which the individual will
develop.
Innocence may be beautiful, but can
never be strong, while the whole es-
sence of virtue lies in its strength
to resist and power to endure. If the
innocence of childhood be replaced by
the firm principles of integrity and
honor, the loss will be really a great
gain. 1t is only where the knowledge
of evil is unattended by appreciation
of its nature, where temptations are
yielded to and not resisted, that we
are induced to grieve over the depart
ure of that innocence which was so
beautiful in earlier years.

Clothes twice as badly worn but

Most ministers have hard work dispos-

scientious scruples against masquerad-

do with these men refusing the minis
ters' coats. They simply don't want
them because they dread the taunts
the coats are likely to provoke among
their fellows"

Almost TlckIed TO Death.

Unable to stand being tickled by
girl friend, r. J. Watkins, an employee
of the locomotive works at Richmond,
Va, lost his balance and fell down
fight of stairs at his boarding house
the other night, breaking an artery in
the stump of his left arm which had
been amputated about eighteen
months ago. His injuries were at
tended to by DR.. R. E. Watts of the
city ambulance, who decided, how
ever, to send the young man to the
Virginia Hospital
Watkins was standing at the head
of the stairs joking with the girl when
she playfully tickled him in the ribs.
Watkins lodged back, lost his balance
and went headlong down the stairs,
hitting the stump of his left arm in
his descent Doctor Watts worked
WIFI him for over an hour before he
stopped the bleeding.

HOW INSECTS WALK ON WATER
Hairs on Their Feet inclose Enough
Air to Enable Them to
Float.

Even a solid rod Of iron may be
made to float provided it is small
enough. Take a fine needle, wipe it
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace of oil on it, and then
lay it gently on the surface Of water
in basin. 1t will float and continue
to float for some little time.
The cause Of this Is the fact that
a quantity Of air adheres to the needle
sufficient to buoy it up. Moreover, as
the cohesion between the particle of
water is considerable, and as water
has no attraction for perfectly dry
piece of steel. the cohesion of the wa
ter Is greater than the weight of
metal, and so the latter Is supported.
In the same way insects are en-
abled to walk upon the water. The
hairs on the end of their feet inclose
an amount of air that enables them
to float. AS each foot is put down it
forms sort Of cup-like depression in
the water, and the liquid thus dis
placed is sufficient to float the insect.

For Children to Know.

Just as soon as he can toddle out of

ME Jones, 1873 Amsterdam avenue"
1t may save you hours of nervous agi-
tation when searching for a lost John
ME one of these days.
Teach Johnnie that boys best
friend out of doors is policeman.
Say, "Oh! look at that nice man. If
my little Johnnie ever got lost that
kind man would take him to a coy
little room. and more kind policemen
to play with, and johnnie would wait
there and have lovely time till
mother came for him."
Many poor mite has gone into
paroxysms when he wandered away
from home and had to be taken
charge of by the very policeman who
had been the DOGGY man of his baby
hood Remember that the police are
friends and guardians of lost babies,
and, If you are so foolish as to bring
up your children by fear, find some
other threat than that of bringing the
policeman to take them away when
they are naughty.
