Doors In China.

In China doors are often round. leaf
shaped or semicircular. In placing
them the builder usually avoids having
one opposite another lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses of the building. The door
ways separating the courts Of gar
den are usually Of an elaborate kind,
and the octagonal form is one Of the
most popular Religious superstition
asserts itself in Chinese architecture,
and the universal sacredness OF the
numerals 3 and 8 Is shown In the ar
rangement of temple doors. There is
a triple gateway to each Of the halls
of the imperial palace, and the same
order prevails at the Ming tombs. The
Temple Of Heaven has triple roof. a
triple marble staircase, and all its mys-
tic symbolism points either to or its
multiples.

HOW SHOT ARE MADE.
And Why the Pure Lead Has TO Be
Tempered With Tin.

Ano why the Pure Lead mas 20 80
Tempered With Tin.
The manufacture Of shot. described
by o. c. Horn in Forest and Stream.
requires a high tower, perforated pan,
a tank of water and tempered" lead.
Shot are made by dropping molten
lead from high point to the earth.
The lead forms into globules just as
the raindrops do when they fan from
the clouds. Ordinarily we do not real
ize that raindrops are little spheres.
but under the proper conditions they
freeze, and we have hailstones. which
may be called shot made Of ice.
In the making Of shot pure lead is
melted and mixed with a temper"
that consists mainly of tin, and then
poured into perforated pan or sieve.
The perforations vary according to
the size of the shot to be made.
A temper is mixed with the lead in
order to make the globules form when
the lead falls If pure lead were used
it would fall in the form of little bars
instead of round shot.
In order that the globules may have
plenty of time to form the lead must
fall long distance. and so towers are
built The towers used to be made as
high as 200 feet and even more, but
modern towers are rarely over $50 feet.
The perforated pan into which the
molten lead is poured is at the top of
the tower, and the globules of lead fall
through the perforations into tanks of
water at the bottom of the tower. The
water cools them and also prevents
them from fattening out. as they
would If they fell on a solid floor
From the water the shot go to steam
driers. After drying the perfect shot
are separated from the imperfect by
means of glass tables inclined enough
SD that the shot when poured on at one
end of the table, will roll to the other
end. At the farther end Of the table
are two cutters side by side. The Inn
perfect shot roll slowly and with diff
Guilty, so that they have not enough
momentum to carry them beyond the
first gutter. The perfectly round shot
roll easily and swiftly, and when they
reach the foot of the table they jump
nimbly across the first gutter and land
in the second.
After separation the perfect shot are
polished by rolling in plumbago. and
workmen then put them in bags for
shipment or send them direct to the
cartridge filing department to be load,
ed into shells

The Yaws.

On the west coast of Africa the ma
tives call the raspberry yaw. It hap.
pens that one of the pleasing diseases
that come out from that quarter Of the
globe is characterized by dusky red
spots that appear on the body and soon
grow into ulcers about the size and
looks Of the raspberry. So this disease
is called the yaws. It is contagious
and downright disagreeable. White
sailors bring it back with them to their
own discomfort and the disgust Of
those at home. Yaws prevails also In
the Fiji islands and in Samoa, but in
these two places children mainly are
attacked. and the natives regard the
disease in the same light as civilized
persons look at measles-almost GER
tainty to have and the sooner over
with the better.

National Conference of Charities ard
Correction which will meet in Baltimore
May II to Iq. Secretary VIM. T. Gross
points ont that the Baltimore meeting
will probably be one of the largest and

ever held in America, owing to the fact
that social and charity workers through.

to face this winter, most serious questions
in relation to the relief of destitutiop,
unemployment, care of children, public
sanitation and kindred problems, many
of which are incident to industrial condi-

workers, as we'll as public officials and
those private citizens who contribute

necessity of getting together to discuss

THE CHURCH AS
ASOC|A[ CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIIgIon-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
National Farmers. Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much part of its obligations
as it's spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in.
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food. is fast
giving way to broader interpreta,'
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
Of those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex
pressed. While cherishing ideals OF
service, the rural church which IT
tains the fullest measure Of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity, IL an understanding Of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community Is exceedingly com.
plex; it contains many social groups,
each Of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter.
est Of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for. enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
come together in social gatherings.
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society.
It is plain. therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use In a refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl

Quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, parties. pic
MICS or other forms of amusement.
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance. the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

had failed to appreciate the serious
ness of the old woman's. illness.
A week ago, the child became ILL.,
She was forced to abandon her atten-
tons upon her grandmother and the
latter, courageously managed to give
the child some care. The nature of the
child's Illness was mystery to both

to pass the crisis and died last night
after a severe attack.
On the aged woman's death, the ma
ture of the child's illness was
learned. A physician had her convey

slight.
The child's parents both are dead,
and the orphan had lived with her
grandmother for several years. The
child's grandfather has been dead

three sons, one of whom is said to
have lived in the Cape recently, and

Store Brings $500.

The Glenn store on Main street was
sold at public auction yesterday for
$4,000 to satisfy a mortgage held by
Henry L. Rozicr. There were few bid
ders and Mr.. Rozier was compelled to
take over the property to satisfy the
claim he held against it..
The Glenn home on South Spanish
street, one of the most imposing resi-
denccs in the city, was bought few
days ago by John Hunter, a we'll
known man of Morley, Scott County
This sale was made for Henry l.. Ro-
zicr, but was made by Charles L. Har-
risOn, Mr.. Rollers sOn-in-law.
Mr.. Rozier loaned D. A. Glenn a sum
of money when Mr.. Glenn went into
bankruptcy more than year ago, and
the sum covered the actual value of
the property, which was later decided
over to Mr.. Rozier Mr.. Rozier placed
the property in Mr.. Harrison's hands
for sale, and he consummated the deal
last week.
The sale of this home will bring Mr..
Hunter to Cape Girardeau to live, Mr..
Harrison informed The Tribune last
night. "Mr Hunter is one of the best
known men in this section of the
State, and | was pleased when | learn
ed that | could induce him to become
a resident Of the city," said Mr.. Har-
riSOn.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hunter
will take up his residence here within
a very short time.
The Glenn family will move into the
former resident of Garrett Glenn on
independence street about the first of
next month.

HEISSERER GETS DIVORCE

At a special hearing yesterday
morning, Judge Ranney granted a di-
vOrce to Christian Heisserer, farmer
living near Kelso, from his wife Eli
zabeth. The petition for divorce was
filed several weeks ago in Scott Coun-
ty, and Mrs. Heisserer, after filing a
cross-bill and demanding alimony and
her maiden name, took a change of
venue to Judge Ranney's Court.
The suit was not contested, how
ever, by Harry Alexander, attorney
for the wife. The husband charged his
former wife with desertion and mis-
treatment of his children by former
wife Mrs. Heisserer now is staying
with relatives in Oran, No.
