Winter Vacations in Germany

From the Springfield Republican.
 The ingenious plan is being adopted by the German Imperial bank offering two extra days for, every week of vacation to employees who are willing 10 postpone their holidays ill winter. The reason is that to give everybody vacation in summer too greatly depletes the office force, and puts a long strain on the men who have to carry the work of ab- sentees. Those who suffer from the heat may need fortnight or a month of re- soite in the summer. but those who can get through the heated term in good physical condition could well afford to wait till winter and draw bonus of golden days. One day would carry a German across the Alps to the warm sun shine of Italy or the Riviera; a very mod crate amount of time will take a New Englander to Bermunda, Florida or the West Indies. Many a worker who is planning a little excursion would be glad to postpone if till winter for the sake of four extra days. The plan may be com mended to employers who find 1t diff cult to provide for everybody during the recognized yaaction season.

CHURCHES NEED
 MORE RELIGION
Laymen's Movement After Six Years Decides Education and Big Con
 yenti0ns Not All

New York, October 26.-(SpeeiaI) After six years experience at trying 10 get churches of Canada and the United States to study foreign missions and contribute more money to their support, the Lay mems Missionary Movement issues a statement just sent to the churches Of the whole country. to the effect that in it's Judgment not more education or even more money is the great need, but thnt churches have more religion to be got ten by more prayer. The movement points out the immense opportunities of tho foreign fields. and expresses appreciation of growing interest at home in them and their expansion. But It states that American churches alone are not able to cope with the problem. Even orgapi.' zation will not avail, nor great eonven- tions.
 Acting on Its conviction the executive committee of the movement asks mission boards and societies to lay before the churches this supreme and primary need for prayer. Among those singing the statement are samuel B. Capen, president of the American board. Eben F.. Oleott. who is head Of the Hudson River Day Line: N Farrar Davidson of Toronto former president of the BrothoThood of St Andrew in Canada. and well known business men like Frank Horne. J.

A Plague of Blossoms

From Harper's Weekly.
 One of the most valuable things that grow in the Orient is bamboo. II has sometimes been placed ahead of rice in utility From this plant the natives of China, Japan and India get not only food. but all the material for clothing, shelter, and the ordinary utensils for the home and the industries and trans lorta ton Under these circumstances one can readily understand that any thing which threatens the welfare of the bamboo Is a serious matter in the east.
 one species of bamboo. phyllostachys prberula. grows to very great size and furnishes the material for large con- struction work. In recent years the orchards of this species have suffered from an epidemic of a peculiar kind. These plants rarely produce flowers, and after blossoming and bearing fruit they die, and the epidemic now caus- ing concern to the owners of these bamboo forests is an epidemic, of blos- solning or course, he trees are not injured by the Towering, but they stop growing. The cause for this outburst Of blossoms has been the subject of in- vestigation by many specialists. ;.

 visit. His criticisms of what he saw showed culture and good taste. We soon found he was disturbed in mind and we thought to make him easy; 1t did not take long to find that he was weak. He told us that he was a part of the mid

Just one half hour after the Alabama State Fair building was closed to vis- itors for the year of 1912. there was knock on the latticed door leading to the upstairs entrance The rattIing noise seemed to sound regretful 'too late" Frying through the gateway WE saw man turn slowly away. Something told us to speak, SO ventured to ask: Have you not been upstairs at all?" slow smile followed and he said, mot once. but 1t does not matter" We opened the door and he came ina man of at least D years. His clothes were torn his shoes were worn, his beard was sev- eral days grown, which gave a haggard look to very strong face. His eyes, deep blue, were shaded by long dropping lashes His features were regular and frlnged with wavy hair of auburn mix ture. His teeth were perfect. and as he smiled his face expressed broad in- telligence. We thought at first to let him look around alone with an occasional watch of the officer because a mystery seemed to surround him. He stopped just at the head of the stairway and looked at the picture on the wall. He looked with understanding, and re- marked the interior finish is well adapted to fine art-and so crude build ingg
 He took a general survey of the walls and half aloud he pointed to a figure in oil representing an old man. face down ward, on the table, his arms folded around the head as a cushion, showing only the crown. He said, q can read that fellows mind. He, life. myself cares not to face the world He passed on to the next scene There he became interested in a landscape, representing home in the distance, and he spoke feelingly. "it is well to find home, even tho it be in water color only His criticisms tempted us to follow and ex- plain what this part of the fair meant When he observed we were interested then faced us remarling, T heard that you had a splendid presentation of homo industry up here and for that reason l wanted to peep in on your privacy, that l might feel the influence of the visit fin my own life, even tho it be passing" We got curious. We had found Mrs. NViggs No at the fair and we wondered what this form of man would be. He moved slowly looking at first one side of the exhibit and then the other. When he had reached the far end he sat down, and of course we did the same. He said this is better than the circus: this is a lesson for the soul" We told him that we always had great respect for the clown, and he replied this life Is made up of clowns; we are all actors Some do the funny stunts, some the real.
 We learned that he came to the city with the circus. and would probably leave with the midway" With him each day took care of itself. He slept when he
