PRAYERS FOR FOOLISH
INVESTMENTS

II was an unusual occurrence
that at Boston early this week,
when several hundred ministers,
who we're attending conference
there, united in prayer. for the I'M
fortunate women and children who
have unwisely invested their money
in railroad stocks. 1--WE trust"
the petitioner continued, that God
will take care that these people
shall not bein absolute want"
The spirit that led the confer.
ence to implore divine aid for the
victims of crooked finance was fine.
But it might be suggested that the
case presented is one that calls
pre-eminently for human interven
ton.
There is a tendency in human
nature to try to shift the blame for
its shortcomings. We let prevent
able flood come and destroy scores
of families, and we call it an "act
of God" We have the same name
for q preventable epidemic of ty-
phsid fever or smallpox. We toler-
ate housing code that insures a
certain number of new cases of
tuberculosis and the collapse of a
certain number of new cases of
families every year, and we attri-
butte the results to natural condi-
tions. .....
So when we permit certain big
fnanciers to rob the public and
when we see men and women re-
duced to poverty through the loss
of their savings, We sympathize
with the victims as suffering
through the workings of an "in
scrutable Providence" and invoke
the blessings of God upon them.
If the Creator were to reason
with us as in days of the prophet
Isaiah, would he not say as he did
then: Bring no more vain obla-
tions. Cease to do evil; learn to
do we'll; seek judgment; relieve
the oppressed"
Can we paw for victims of crook
ed dealings without going out and
taking measures to prevent a
repetition of crooked dealings?
Surely our prayers will be in vain
unless we are doing all that is in
our power to have them answered.

DUE TO DEFECTIVE FLUES
Enormous Financial Loss by Fire 70
Credited to carelessness In
This Respect.

The campaign against the enormous
preVentable fire waste OF the country
has naturally led to q study of the
principal hazards and those which can
most easily be avoided. Hazards are
divided broadly into two classes
sical and moral-the physical hazards
being inherent In the risk itself and in
It's surroundings, while the moral hax-
ard arises from personal factors.
Physical hazards may be subdivided
Into external and internal. This e1-
ternal hazards include lightning. con-
hagrations, sparks, bonfires and ex-
posture losses. To this cause are due
28 per cent. of all losses both as to
number and value. The internal haz-
ards are much more numerous and
may he subdivided into FIVE classes.
These are: Spontaneous combustion,
the hazards due to the operation Of
machinery, the hazards incident to
processes, those due to the various
systems and kinds of apparatus used
for heating and lighting, while the
fifth division includes all those not al
ready classified.
the various processes of heating
which usually include the actual use
OF fire are responsible for more losses
than any other cause, and under this
class II should be noted that defective
hues are responsible for twice as
many fires as any other physical or
known moral hazards, and for a great
yer property loss than any other cause.
Statistics show that Is per cent. of
the total number of fires can be attrib-
uted to defective flues, with a prop
erty loss Of over 81. 100000 annually.
Electricity is responsible for the larg-
er proportion of the losses due to H.
Elimination. although not for the larg-
est number Of such losses.-Insuranc

COrnmeal.

According to the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, cornmeal
constitutes very nutritive and cheap
food. In fact, for three cents one can
get more nutriment out of cornmeal
than he can out of five cents worth
of flour. That lis, 60 cents worth Of
meal will give a man more bone, mus
Gle, nerve and brain than 81 worth
of -four will.
That Is the commercial aspect Of
the case, but for Joy, satisfaction,
health and hope the cornmeal is as
far ahead Of flour as 1t is in the
economic estimate. A good bowl Of
mush and milk-how good it sounds
and how good 1t is! Take a great
spoonful of it, and it twangs the
strings Of the harp of health till every
little fiber and nerve falls into q
beautiful melody of life. Exactly so,
too, with corn bread, pone and dod-
ger.
In these progressive days one can
find bricks Of cold cornmeal mush at
the grocers, ready for slicing and fry

DEVIL DANCERS OF cEYLoN
Natives Have implicit Faith In Their
Ability to Cure All Forms Of
Disease.

Despite the advance OF medicali
knowledge throughout India, says q.
writer in the Wide World Magazine,
devil dancers are still called into re-
QUESTION in many parts Of Ceylon for
curing all kinds Of sickness. When a
native is taken Ill his relatives first
apply medical treatment. If, after
some days, this appears to be ineffec-
tive, 1t is concluded that the sickness
ness Is one incapable Of cure In this
manner, but is caused by some inim-
ical influence, and must therefore
be due to either a glance OF the evil
eye, the action of a demon, or some,
evil planetary action. The soothsay-
er is then sent for, and this worthy
after examining the patient, names
the demon or spirit responsible for
the malady. An offering is then made
to the demon in the form of food, a
coin, or a piece Of cloth. Then fol-
lows the professional dance, carried
out by the devil dancers. Two men
clad in gorgeous garments and wear
ing strange headdresses and masks go
through number of grotesque and
extraordinary evolutions to the beat
ing OF the tomtoms, making weird
noises the while. This is kept up
for hours, sometimes all night, and is
always performed within sight of the
sick person. In the complete cere-
monies Of the demon called Samni
Yaka, who causes commissions, severe
toothache, headache, ETC., no fewer
than 80 different masks are worn in
turn by the dancers. Curiously
enough, observers state these strange
ceremonies usually have a favorable
effect upon the patients illness.

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL
Official Figures Show That There
Really Are Few Accidents on
American Railroad Lines.

Interesting illustrations Of the great
degree of safety attending travel on
American railroads are given by a
prominent newspaper In an article
based on Interstate Commerce Com
mission figures which show that dur
Ing the six years period, 1861, only
one passenger out of every 74,736 re-
ceived injury Of any kind, and only
one out of every 2,275,123 was killed.
Commenting upon these figures this
paper says:
"a typical journey for all roads in
the country Is now thirty-four miles,
and there are taken on the average
2,275,122 such Journeys in safety to
each journey which results fatally. If
a man were to ride out these 2,275,122
safe journeys at two per day for each
business day in the year, 1t would
take him 1892 years. To have begun
in time to meet his death in 1914, he
would have had to start in the year
177S b. c., 458 years before Moses led
the children of Israel through the Red
Sea. By $50 b. c., when Romulus was
regulating Remus by modern meth.
DDS, the commuter would have ridden
21.O00,000 miles and have had $780,
444 yet to go. When Phidias, In ago
ID. c.. was carving the Olympian Zeus,
our wayfarer would have been but
one-third Of the way toward his
death; and even in the year $50 A.
D., when Alfred the Great was letting
the griddle cakes burn, this traveller
would have spent the equivalent of
2O7 years on the trains running at 30
miles an hour, and would have had
81 years more of actual travel to spend
before meeting his fatal accident"
