SET UP BOTTLES AS GODS
Burmese Natives, Relieved by "Pala
Killer" Accepted What They
Thought Was Deity.

There are many people in this
country who are given to a worship
OF patent medicines; but 1t 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
er" 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
to the house of the head man, who
opened the door of room and
showed him the pain killer bottles
solemnly arranged in row upon the
shelf; and before them the whole
company Immediately Frustrated
themselves in worship.

Crack Filler

Cracks in floor. caused by the
spreading apart Of the boards, are OBJ
jectionable because they catch dust
and dirt. A simple and effective crack
filler is made from newspapers. Tear
the paper into small bits, soak in hot
water, and mix with warm -four paste.
FIJI the cracks with this mixture,
which should be thick, spreading the
paste with a knife. Another good
filler consists of q mixture of glue and
sawdust. Heat the glue until melted
and for one pound of glue, before
melting, allow one gallon OF water.
When melted. stir into 1t fine saw
dust until thick paste results. Fill
the cracks with this, packing 1t down
solidly and smoothing 1t over with a
knife blade. When the filler is thor
oughly dried the floor may be stained.

WHAT GOTHAM GETS IN TIPS
Petty Graft Of New Workers, II Is Cal
cuIated, Amounts to over
$1oo,ooo,0o0 Yearly.

There are on an average 100000
visitors the day in New York. Often
there are many more, seldom any
less. Most of the visitors are there
on pleasure bent, or are passing
through on pleasure bent In other
places Even those who go TO Man
haitian on business decide in favor of
the combination cocktail" meaning a
mixture Of business and fun. Every
visitor gives tips. whether he stays
ut hotel or not. II he visits friends
he tips their servants. The tips given
by the average person of means
amounts to much more than 81 the
day. Few tip less than SO cents the
day. 1t Is q low estimate to put
dollar as the average amount given
away every day in tips by every WIS.,
itor to the great city. That means
100000 the day in tips alone, not in
Guiding tips given by New Workers
themselves. That. is about SO 100000
the month, or S109, 500, 900 for the full
year OF 365 days. Through this petty
tipping graft alone more than $780,.
100000 the year are paid by the rest
Of the country for the upkeep Of the
metropolis. We are not complaining
comments a Charleston newspaper.
We are not suggesting remedy. We
merely call attention to the matter
that some may grieve over 1t and 9TH
ers may laugh, though those who
laugh are not by any means the ones
who have recently made their con-
tributions.

BIRDS QUIT ENGLAND EARLY
Abnormal Weather Is Believed tho
Cause Of Hurried Departure for
Southern Chimes,

A wonderful concourse Of swifts was
seen few days ago over Hertford-
shire common. Some of the birds were
at great height and were playing
the almost ecstatic game of flight in
company, which is the prelude to mi
grafton.
The birds are leaving England be
fore their time. Many Of the doves
are already gone. The question arises
why these birds and the restless
swallows and martins are thus put
ting forward their date OF departure.
The flight from England Is doubt.
less being hurried by the abnormal
weather. The dove, which is one Of
the first to leave, would have nowhere
to set its feet In East Anglia, and the
corncrakes are flooded out. In such
conditions the doves premature at,
tention to the call of the Caucasus
and the desire of the swallow tribe for
the further shore of the Mediterranean
are due to the inhospitality of Eng.
iand-its cold and the disappearance
Of insect food.-London Mail.

NEW RIFLE SIGHT INVENTED
Marksman Must Aim for Spot Below
Target to Make Sure Of
Hit.

Military authorities and big game
hunters are much interested in a new
rife sighting system that is designed
10 eliminate the necessity for esti-
mating distances and adjusting sights
IA long range shooting.
OF the negative angle system, as the
invention is called, Sir George Green
hill, a noted English ballistical ex-
pert, said in a recent lecture: THE
new system proves that since the ori-
gin of firearms our method OF sighting
in active service rifle firing has been
wrong. The invention Is likely to
bring about a revelation In the art OF
shooting"
In brief, the system utllizes the we'll
known fact that the apparent size OF
an object decreases as the distance in
creases. The user of the negative
angle sight Is instructed to sight at Q
point the height of the object under
it. If the arm were the army rifle and
the target man, the point of aiming
would be about Aye feet six inches be-
low the mans feet. With the regula-
ton ammunition as furnished for the
army rifle, the negative angle system
will insure hits on the man target at
all ranges from 100 to S25 yards.
which is an increase Of about 800
yards over the range Of the present
battle sight.
At first It would appear that some
trouble might be met in sighting
However, no difficulty whatever is
found in aiming at point five feet
six inches below mans feet, particT
ularly as the man is conveniently on
the spot to afford a gauge. very much
like a foot rule photographed with an
other object to indicate comparative
heights.
The new system Is the invention of
Fl. Ommundsen, an Englishman. who
won the kings prize at recent Eng
fish national shoot and who has been
high up in the same contest on several
other occasions.

WOMAN IN POLICE SERVICE
Country 10 Slowly Realizing How Val
liable She ls 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
derision 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
ization of the human interest mixed
up in the criminals case, the realiza-
ton that you don't finish with that
case by merely apprehending the Grim
inal and affixing 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, 1t
was perhaps inevitable that women
should be available instruments OF sal
yation. In Los Angeles, the woman
policeman" has been installed in re-
Spouse to distinct need In the handl-
ing of woman and girl criminals. In
Maryland, she has been applied to for
official help to enforce the curfew law
in an effective manner, In Chicago
as matrons women have long been as,
sisting In the problem Of handling the
criminal. Very recently these ma
irons have been placed in the rank
OF patrolmen, and their salaries have
been increased from $1,000 to $1.400
