NEW CRUSADERS
IN AGRICULTURE

The University of California has
discovered a new agency ready to its
hand for the extension of its teach
ings in scientific agriculture. This
agency is the ministry of the rural
churches.
The idea of this cooperation came
from the Rev. F. /. DreXler, Baptist
clergyman at Willows, Cal. Mr.. Drex-
ler was a country preacher who felt
that the country church was largely
failure. In his effort to find means
to revive it's influence, he recalled
that the schoolmasters had brought
about the regeneration of rural life
in Denmark: why should the clergy
men not bring about the regeneration
of rural life in America and, by the
enthusiasm of that service, regenerate
themselves and their churches as well ?
He wrote to President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, of the University of Cali
fornia, explaining his idea. President
Wheeler responded by issuing an in
vitation to the rural clergymen of the
state to meet at the experiment farm
at Davis to spend the first week of a
versity in study of rual problems
recent month as guests of the Uni
versity in a study of rural problems
The railroads offered free transporta-
ton to all who would come.
Nearly five hundred clergymen ac-
cepted the invitation. They represent
ed both Catholics and Protestants and
almost every denomination. The stud
ents at the farm gave up their rooms
in the dormitories to the visitors and
slept in tents and hay mows. The
weeks study included lessons in rock:
judging and in many other practical
aspects of rural life. But the session
were especially devoted to explaining
to the clergymen what facilities the
University has that are always at
their disposal in solving the economic
and social problems of the country.
The results of the conference are
that the preachers wenth ONE with a
new conception of their mission to
their congregations and with a new
enthusiasm to carry it out; and that
the University now has, in most rural
communities, an intelligent and active
friend, familiar with the people and
their needs, who will spread the gos-
pei of scientific agriculture-who will
be, in effect, field agent of the Agri-
cultural College. The plan can hardly
fail to be useful both to the churches
and to the state.

CHARITY AND CHARITIES.

A short time since certain rich
man needed an ASSISTANT woman
for an obscure but important post
She was required to be college grad
uate, an A. NJ. and Phi. D., and she
must have had at least few months
library experience. 1t was also neces-
sary that she be familiar with Latin.
Greek, and three modern languages,
two Of which she should be able to
speak. The rich man did not object
II she also knew bookkeeping. The
hours were eight-thirty to five-thirty.
and she was to receive all of twelve
dollars a week. A girl who was offered
the position and who filled all the re-
'quirements told the story as a joke,
and the women who heard 1t laughed.
and said: "If that isn't Just like a.
rich philanthropist!"
Which 1t is-but after all, how many
Of us are there who can really afford to
laugh? Most women in large or small
degree are doing exactly the same
sort of thing. The woman who sends
fat check to an organized charity,
complacently regarding her name at
the head of the donation list, while at
the same time her servants occupy the
unheated, ill-ventilated rooms on the
third floor back, is in exactly the same
boat. Many churchwoman who would
be shamed to refuse the rector's ap-
peal for foreign missions will slip
down a back street to some over
worked, underpaid little dressmaker
who does just as good work as Madam
x, the French modiste on the
avenue, and pay her one-hfth as much
and at that jew her down a little
II she can.
AS a matter of fsct, II women were
really sincere in their giving. few Of
them would be numbered among the
public" benefactors, or would ever
see their names on the list of patron
esses of a charitable entertainment.
The money that a woman subscribeG
to the Blank Institution. about which
she knows nothing, would send the

month. and perhaps restore her to
health. But Mrs. Brown who is solic-
iting for the Blank Institution, Is 30
hard to refuse. And also 1t happens

He then saw that 1t was his own
wife speaking to him, and she, not
withstanding his whiskers and the
suit which he had bought on the in
stallment plan, recognized him. An
soon as their natural emotions sub
sided, and their several experiences
had been rehearsed, he asked her how
1t was that she had kept the quarter
for so long a time, to which she re-
piled, Because It Is a bad one"
And Thomas blessed the maker OF
that counterfeit coin, for 1t had been
the means of bringing him and his
wife together again.
The reunited pair discussed the fu-
ture. Mr.. Fenety explained the pol
ishing powder business to his wife. So
these two went out into the suburbs
OF New York by day, and especially
by night, and gathered bricks; then
they pounded them, put the powder
up into small packages, and sold the
same to the female Inhabitants to
clean their brasswork. And they
prospered until stray brick could
hardly be found.
Finally they bought bricks by tho
thousand, built mill, and put the
bricks In at one end thereof, and the
powder came out of the other.
MORALS-Take Your Pick
1, 1t is better to go to brick dis
trict than a timber belt.
2. Always give to the poor; bad

BRICkDUST AND

1t is a bad thing to find crisis in
ones own affairs.
Thomas Fenety, grocer, doing busi-
ness in the outskirts of this town, was
one day looking over his books and
list of creditors of various sizes.
After a hurried examination of his
assets he found they were so much
less numerous that his debts that he
decided to go away.
Having first left his wife little sill
yer money, some Of which he had
had by him for long time, he depart
ed for parts unknown. Inquiry was
made. but his whereabouts were not
dark as to his movements and thought
herself widow.
After many vicissitudes, and much
travelling, principally on foot, he
reached Hartford, in the state of Con-
necticut. There Mr.. Fenety went into
business which required no capital,
for he found that a good polishing
powder might be obtained by pound
ing the common brick of commerce.
He collected all the bricks he could
ind, going out early and late for the
purpose. and subsequently he sold the
finished product to the housewives.
Success crowned his efforts, and he
soon made enough money to buy for
himself an installment-plan suit, 80
that he might go into the insurance
business
When he had insured about all the
infantile population of the place, he
bethought him of his old creditors,
and decided to send each of them
something on account, but just at
that moment an epidemic carried 30
many of his young clients to the
cemetary that he was ruined.
Then he journeyed to New York,
and sat down on one of the wharves,
preparatory to the inquest which he
had determined should be held upon
his wet remains. But 1T happened
that lady coming from the ferry
caught sight Of him, and noticing his
disconsolate air, handed him quarter

He thanked her, looked at the coin

after the giver and asked to know
whence she got 1t. The lady told him
that her Door husband had left It for

has taken them every year since. A

to show any two persons in the world

reputation for daring has come to
peaceful end instead of dying by
accident. Charles X. Hamilton is said
to have had no less than three
falls while praticing mis- profession,
but his wiry frame and good luck
combined to save him from serious
hurt. His heart, however, was strained
by his many hairbreadth escapes, and
his recent death was the result of dis
ease of that organ.
