Idolatry as u L.


After months spent In idolatrous lands
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
kimono the tiny bib of a departed little
one and tie 1t 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 a wood
en- god and then rub his own in the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close In on his affrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni.

HNaa and Fruit.

An agricultural society of Florence
Italy, has recently carried out thor
ough investigation of the alleged In
jury Of fruit by bees and has com
pletely exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin Of the
fruit, and 1t is only incidentally that
they suck the Juices of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor.
nets, wasps, vine moths and other In.
sects. Instead of being harmful t.
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service Of effecting the
cross pollination of flowers, and hence
the setting of fruit as well as the de-
structlon of damaged fruits Especially
grapes by sucking the Juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals
The orchards and vineyards frequented
by bees give the most constant crops

An analysis Of the contents Of a
vacuum cleaner made recently showed
that the dust which had collected on
the bookshelves in library consisted
OF hair, green wool. white wool, cot
ton fibers, celluloid, pieces Of finger
nails, dy wings. sand grains, wood, pa
per. string, metallic iron and leather.
The hair was probably derived from
soft hats, the wool and cotton hbers
from clothing, sand from the mud
tracked in on shoes and the gradual
pulyerlzing of the floor, fly wings from
dead flies and paper from book leaves"
Curlously enough, very few germs
were found in this dust Yet there Is
no question that inhaling it might lead
to various diseased conditions. This
would not be the result Of any disease
germs contained In the dust ITSELF but
to the irritating effects produced by
the dust particles when brought into
contact with the bronchial membranes.

Glass is becoming more generally
used as building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have been

BREADS DRAFT;ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Death Rather Than Army for York
Negro With Tickht 2S8.

York, July 30:-Despondent be-
cause he will be summoned this
week to appear in York next Mon
day for examination as to his fitness
for army service and dreading the
idea of going to war, John Wilson,
No 25S, a negro, of the Hoodtown
section, the first person in the west
ern district of York county to be
drawn under the selective draft law
Friday, July 20, attempted to com.
nit suicide last week by hanging
himself.
Wilson, who is about twenty-five
years of age and who is said to hard.
ly possess average intelligence, is in
the employ of Mr. William Hayes. Of
the Hoodtown section. 1t is under
stood that he has been worrying
much since he learned that he was
the first man drawn for army duty
in the western district.
According to a story told by sew.
eral negroes who live in the neigh
borhood in which Wilson resides, the
negro tied q moose around his neck
and was preparing to suspend him.
self when other parties interfered.
That occurred early last week and
since then Wilson is said to have
made two other unsuccessful at
tempts to end his life. He told sew
eral persons Friday that he had
three balls in his pistol and Il am
going to put one in my wife and an
other in my child and the other in
myself before l let them take me
to war;"
Wilson is being watched closely.
People who know him believe that
the draft and the idea of going to
war has so preyed on his mind that
he has been driven insane temporari-
ly at least, and there is little posi-
bility now that he will be accepted
for army service.
