Bamboo COOKING Utensils.

The Dyaks of Borneo boil their
food in bamboo cut into lengths Of
about two or three feet. These are
placed over the fire in such a posi-
ton that the joint Of the bamboo
does not come in contact with the
fire, but rests upon the ground be-
yond. The fire is placed under the
green and harder part of the cane,
which, by it's silicious coating, re-
sists the action of the flame until
the provisions are sufficiently pre-
pared. A bundle of leaves placed
in the mouth of the bamboo serves
the purpose Of the lid of an ordi-
nary cooking vessel.

twenty feet long, is cut into pieces
and the pith dug out and placed in

known as sago flour. The pith left

Origin Of Fasting.

The custom of fasting is not of
Christian origin. 1t was certainly
observed by the Jews long before
Christianity was known, as we'll as

tiquity. Asceticism has always been
popular in the earlier stages Of re-
ligion and is still the dominant idea

Christians In Old Rome.

Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. The
Christians were regarded as scdi-
tious. In denying the divinity Of
the Caesars and the Roman gods
they were guilty Of high treason in
Roman eyes and were accordingly
punished. But their punishment
bad no religious significance what
ever. The Christians were persc-

;:..ns, but because, in-the opinion Of
the authorities, they were disturb
ers Of the peace and safety of the
state. Religious persecution vas a
thought that never entered the Ro-
man mind.-New York American.

Holding On.

It is astonishing how men lack
the power Of "holding on" until
they reach the goal. They can
make a sudden dash, but they lack
grit. They are easily discouraged.
They get on as long as everything
goes smoothly, but when there is
friction they lose heart. They de-
pend on stronger personalities for
their spirit and strength. They
lack independence and originality.
They dare only do what others do.
They do not step boldly from the
crowd and act Observation-Disclosures

West Virginia. once known as the
state without modern road, is fast
coming to the front in securing the
best types of highways. The last
few years has seen bond issues
amounting into millions of dollars
for building better roads in this state.
When Coleman du Pont, now q
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for president OF the United
States, first told the farmers Of the
country that they were spending
about % cents for every mile they
hauled ton over poor roads and
that this cost could be reduced to
eight cents mile on good roads, they
were astounded and slow to believe
it. But du Pont proved it to them.
He put 1t up to them as business
proposition. And that one statement
OF his has done more than any other
one thing to give impetus to the good
roads movement.
Du Pont is one Of the foremost
business men Of the country and, II
elected to the presidency, would give
this country an administration along
business lines. The kind of an adj
minlstration that about the biggest
business in the world should have.
The people Of this country have about

usual interest attaches to du Pont as
he is the first distinctively business
man who has been considered serious
ly for presidential honors for more
than half a century. OF the eleven
president since Lincoln died, not one
had the slightest business training.
Du Pont has been everything from
day laborer in the coal mines to
corporations in the world. He has
been a banker. a farmer. mine oper-
ator, and builder of railroads and
has been signally successful in every
thing he has undertaken. 1t has been
said that II he were president OF the
United States, he would save the
country three hundred millions of
dollars through business methodist
And he believes that the federal gov
eminent should extend every posi-
