This means simply keeping up such a

enemy cannot or will not cross 1t.
When an infantry attack Is launched
a barrage on the ground beyond the
enemy's front line prevents his re-en-

attack carries beyond the first line the

Idolatry az IL IL.

After months spent in idolatrous lands
I have been unable to see much real
worship in heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount Of real worship that exists In
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kmono the tiny bib Of departed little
one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo, the
god Of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes Of wood
en- god and then rub his own in the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his afrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-
fed, as well attended and as helpful as
our own. In Hakodate l attended a
Buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less of idolatry and more of morals
than some ceremonials in our cruel
form chapels.-Christian Herald.

The Arabic Language.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population Of London, their Ian
guage is one Of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world, for it is
the language of the Koran. Seventy
millions Of people in Asia and north
Africa speak some form Of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something Of the language
from the Koran, which In the original
Is q text book in the day schools OF the
Mohammedans from Turkey to Afgha-
nistan and New Guinea. Nor Is Arabic
unworthy Of this extensive use. Re
nan, after expressing his surprise that
such a language should spring from
the desert regions Of Arabia and reach
perfection in nomadic camps, declares
that it surpasses all its sister Semitic
languages in richness Of vocabulary,
delicacy Of expression and the logic Of

Mvstery of a Fish.

In the economy of nature nothing Is
more remarkable than the metamor-
phosis of the founder, which Wnen
young swims in an upright position, as
do all other fish, but when maturity
develops it becomes topheavy, falls
over on its side and its existence Is
passed as a fat fish.
That nature moves in a mysterious
way is here freely illustrated, for when
the founder falls fat the two eyes,
which originally were on either side OF
the head, are transposed to the upper
side of the fish, where they always
face the light.
The process by which this strange
change is accomplished has never been
discovered by scientists and is a mar
yelous instance of natures operations,
for while the fish usually rests upon
bottom it can readily swim about In
any depth of water.-New York Sum-

a Short Business Talk.

In a certain store the merchandise
manager sent for the ready to wear and
millinery buyers and said to them:
"You men are getting bad accumu-
lation of stock that is hard to move.
Hereafter you will make a daily and
weekly inventory and send the report
to this Office"
Both buyers declared this to be i'm
possible, but the merchandise man told
them to go and do it. Especially he
wanted them to show the age OF the
goods in stock, the sizes and the colors.
After attempting to take some OF
these daily inventories the buyers de-
cided that an easier way would be to
get busy and sell the goods faster. This
same plan has been used in many de-
partments with fine results.
There is nothing like the spot light to
engender selling activity in a store

Keeps Milk From Boiling Over.

Among the various devices which are
intended to prevent milk from boiling
over we noticed one which solves the
problem in a very simple way, says the
Scientific American. 1t consists of a
straight tube of say two or three
inches In diameter at the top and e1-
panding somewhat toward the bottom,
where it is provided with fiaring and
cup shaped end Of rather large diane
ter, the whole being somewhat OF
trumpet shape. Out Of the lower part
are cut, say four suitable openings, and
we set the device upright In the vessel
with the small end just out OF the
LIQUID. Should the milk tend to boil
violently this action commences at the
bottom, and the liquid is forced up the
tube, then falls upon the surface again,
so that the boiling action will continue
in this way and the milk has no ten
dency to leave the vessel

How a Bullet Falls.

In order to solve the problem a spe
cial stand was erected in Germany,
and experiments were carried on along
the shores of a lake the surface of
which was frozen. The ice was COW
cred with strong planks. 1t was shown
that an infantry bullet shot upward in
a vertical direction passes downward
In the same position in which it pass
ed upward. In other words, it came
back to the earth with its bottom first.
Why was it not upset at its culmina-
ton point? The answer is that the
propelling force ceases to act at the
elimination point, but the twist has as
yet not stopped, and therefore it starts
its fall with a twist. Even on impact
the twist has not stopped, as was in
dicated by the warping Of the wood
fibers in the planking on the ice.-Pop-

The Transformafioh.

After the hero Of seventeen looks at
the heroine of fifteen she is different
person. Before he looks at her she
likes the fine brick houses in the neigh
borhood. In fact, she sees many ele-
cant houses in town that she thinks
would make ideal homes. Unlike her
mother, she even likes the house in
which the family lives. But after the
hero looks at her you couldn't give her
a big brick house. To her such places
look cold, and she hardly would take
one of them as gift. But she just
worships every little four and five room
cottage she sees. They look so cute
and neat and dear and sweet and coy
and snug. Oh, if she could just have
q house like that and hero like him
he is the only one there is Of his kind
she would be just too happy for any
thing! And she would make fudge
and have a regular home, only it would
be far happier than other homes
