IN LIFE.
By Dr.. r. T. Van1, Secretary Board Of
Education of the Baptist state
Convention OF \. e., Raleigh.

In the day of prosperity be joy
full; but in the day of adversely:
God hath set the over against
the Observation-Disclosures villa.
The author of the text calls himself
'"The Preacher; and like most other
preachers, he had his spells of blues.
Several texts in the present chapter
indicate a very sober mood in the
writer. But in the text he writes like
the inspired Philosopher that he was.
1t might seem at first glance I'M
necessary to advise rejoicing in the
day of prosperity. But a little refec-
ton will recall some persons whom nc
prosperity can brighten, and who
would make life miserable for them
selves and their neighborbors even in
the Garden of Eden.
We are now concerned, however,
mainly about "the day of adversely"
What shall one do then? Not worry
over: things lost or gone wrong, for as
he says, THAT which is crooked can
not be made straight, and that which
is wanting cannot be counted" And
not go about asking, Wherefore were
the former times better than these?"
For in the broadest and best sense
they certainly, were not: and the
preacher distinctly says this question
is foolish. What then shall We do in
the day of adversely? The preacher
says, Consider" and porbably there
was never another day in the history
of the world that required more sober
consideration. Let us give heed, then,
to this wisest of preachers and consid-
er first, the fact of universal expert
ence, that prosperity and adversely,
good III evil are 'set one over against
the other"
This appears in comparing one life
with another. One man has large
possessions but no health; another,
while as poor as a church mouse, has
the strength of an OK. A young wo-
man stands high in the social circle
but has the temper of a wasp and nc
friends; her seamstress lever owned
ballroom dress, but her sunny spirit
0rightens her whole community. Ny

CYCLING FAD BEING REVIVED
Many Persons Who Had Forgotten All
About Bicycles Have Taken to
Riding Them Again.

There has come a fad for bicycling
again. Not very full-grown fad, to
be sure, but still a good many persons
who had forgotten all about bicycles
or else hardly knew of them have
taken to riding them.
And it is rather interesting to note
comment that was made some 20
years ago, when we took up bicycling
so very seriously. It was this: That
bicycling has done as much harm to
the habit of good reading as 1t had
done good to the health of bicyclers.
Nowadays there are so many other
things to blame for our loss Of the
habit of good reading. The moving
pictures, of course, come In for their
share of blame. And then all our out
door sports must also take the time
that we might otherwise feel disposed
to devote to reading. Perhaps If we
could go back to the id-Victorian
habits of women, before outdoor sports
were the fashion, we should do much
more substantial reading. Perhaps not.
Perhaps we have learned to do more
things than we used to do and per-
haRs we are better read today than we
used to be.
1t would take a good deal of care.

CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS 4
Dazzling Jewels, Oriental Woman
Watches Films All Day.

China has capitulated to the picture
show. So much so, in fact, that Chi.
nese women now make attendance q
social event, to be observed with a dis
play of their choicest and most beauti.
full silks and most dazzling jewels.
Instead of social functions at home
with tea and music and that sort of
thing, Chinese women who would be in
fashion eat a large breakfast, adorn
themselves like a New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for a day of watching the films
flicker.
"The motion picture craze in China,
said Ernest Young. who has been sew
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, NOW has reached q
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action in
their film entertainment, and gladly sit
in theater ali day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The Orientals, according to Mr.. Young.
also are keen for comedy.
Chinese audiences" Mr.. Young said,
"are very demonstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their APP
prevail in rousing cheers and wild ap-
plause"

giving him much Of her time, favoring

There was nothing tangible Of which
he could complain, and this probation
airy period was Of his own suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever it was possible, by her side

and Stephen Strangewey walked in.

taller and gaunter than ever, though

Peru to Fiqht Malaria.

The government of Peru is taking
steps for vigorous campaign against
malaria throughout the country. The
work is to be classified under four
heads: Treatment of patients, pro-
lection of people living In places where
malaria is recognized as epidemic, de-
struction of germ-transmitting insects,
and drainage or other special treat
ment of swampy lands. In connec-
ton with its campaign the Peruvian
government will import annually what
ever quantity of quinine may be
deemed necessary. such imports to be
exempt from import duties and port
charges. Individuals and institutions
a2e TO be enabled to purchase this
oninine from the government at cost
price for their own use or treatment
Of malaria patients in their charge.

he had turned away and left her, after
she had heard his measured tramp de-
scending the stairs, her fingers flew to
her throat. She held herself tightly,
standing there with beating heart and
throbbing pulses. 1t was not until the
front door had closed that she had
the strength to move, to throw herself
face downward upon the couch.
Louise ate a very small luncheon,
but-an unusual thing for her-she
drank two glasses of wine. Just as
she had finished Sophy came in, with
ink-stained fingers and a serious ex-
preston.

CHRISTMAS LOG FIRES
Ancient Practice Dates Back to Saxon
Times and Through the Medi-
eVaI Period.

The one apartment which stands out
most prominently in the history Of do
nestle habitations from Saxon times
and throughout the medieval period
to the prosaic present is the great
hall, or fire hall, wherein the family
aud the guests were wont to assemble.
The method OF heating this apartment
WIS in the beginning merely a log
fire built upon a stone hearth in the
center Of the room. The smoke from
this fire endeavored TO find its way out
OF a hole In the roof of the hall, but
was often driven back by a gust of
wind, to the discomfort Of the occu-
pants. From this rude beginning the
fireplace which we know today was
evolved.
In the old manor houses the most
notable fireplace ceremony OF the year
was the dragging in and placing of the
great log MT Christmas time. The an
cient Yuletide revels must have pre-

Korea Gold Mine for Japan

The total output of the Korean
mines last year exceeded 100000
yen (S7,50O,O00). This amount is far
greater than the gold production of the
mother country, says the East and
West News. The three largest gold
mines in Korea-Unsan, Suan and
Changsong-are managed by foreign
ers. The largest gold mine entirely di-
rected by japanese Is the Asano, In Su-
nan district, South pycngando. Ken
song mine in the same province, nan
aged by the Furukawa firm, Is equally
prosperous. Hoichang mine, in Song
chon district, is deve;oping greatly.
Most of the gold oes produced in
Korea goes to Japan for refinement,
but refinery has recently been built
at Chinnampo that VIII save some of
these shipments.

Something New About Birds.

Prof. A. a. Allen, in the Scientific
American, declares that polygamy ex-
lists among several varieties of our
common birds. The felicity of mated
birds and the "cooing dove" theory has
received a shock from Professor AL
lens discovery. Mr.. Robin does not de-
serve all the praise that has been
showered upon him; neither does Mr..
Wren. for they are both pOIygamists.
SAYS Mr. Allen. He tells of finding two
different pairs of robins nests, the
two nests in each pair built exactly
alike. Joined together and having a
common foundation. Two female rob
ms raised broods, sitting side by side
in two different nests, one male robin
presiding over both households.

To find the origin Of our own deeply
recessed fireplaces we must 90 back
to the time when the Normans-in
whose strongholds of two or more sto-
ries the central position was imprac-
ticable-placed the fire In a shallow
recess under an arch In the side wall
of the chamber. This means Of escape
for the smoke does not appear to have
been very successful, as we find a lit
tie later a flue carried up In the wall
and finished with a tail cylindrical
chimney.
The Normans provided no recess I'M
der the fiue, but a hood was construct
ed over the hearth to collect the
smoke. AS freplaces increased In
number the trend was toward a deep
er hearth recess. when the hoods be-
came unnecessary and ceased TO be
used.
