SPREADING GOSPEL IN CHINA
How Missionaries Secured Confidence
of the People by Aiding the
Silk Industry.

A novel means of spreading the Cos
pei was employed in south China,
where an association has been formed
for the Improvement of the silk indus
try. The first aim Of the association
is to rid the country Of diseased silk
wOrms-a serious undertaking. The
Chinese are naturally suspicious of be-
ing duped, and are wary OF new meth
DDS. This is where the misSionary's
chance comes in, for the Chinese know
the church is there for no other rea-
son than to help them. Accordingly
the missionary pastor posts advertise
ments Of the new method, and Rev.
+. G.. Howe writes that recently he
made trip, carrying with him 100000
silkworm eggs which had been micro
examined. and found that
be could create an interest in follow
ing instructions, where business men
could not get hearing. Those who
bought the healthy eggs were so elated
over the results that immediate re-
quests came i'm TO the association for
the society desired, but
could not bring about.

ARE TYRANTS OF THE WILD
Animals Is Less Cruel Than

While the fashions for furs is as
imperious as it is now there will be
scant reason for saying or writing
anything to encourage their wearers.
inclination will be so strong that it
will override every consideration ex-
cept inability to buy them. The ex-
ceptions will only put the rule to the
test without weakening it.
But many persons with kind hearts
and much sympathy for the lower an
finals may find comfort none the less,
in knowing the greater part of the furs
most sought and most valued come
from creatures that are themselves
extremely destructive and deadly to
other forms of animal life. The fur
hearers, as a rule are fierce slayers
of weaker or less courageous and for
midable beasts and birds. #

hearty sympathy with the needs Of
the farmers of his district and the en-
tire state?
A. Does the evidence of his protec-
ton colleagues prove that he is today
in sympathy with this bean legisla-
ton and doing all he can to secure it?
To each and every one Of these
questions the Herald believes that
every fair minded person must an
swer, YES.
Finally, can the nomination Of
some new man or the election of a
Free Trader in any way help the
farmers of Michigan?
To this question we most emphati-
cally say "No."
Now in conclusion, we wish to say
that the Business Farmer has done
and is doing much for its readers
along various lines. The Herald has
repeatedly recognized this fact and
during the last year has given tangi-
BILE evidence of it's friendliness by
sending a large number of subscrib-
ers to the Business Farmer, but the
Business Farmer, so far as it's editor
ial opinions are concerned, is now the
acknowledged creation of Mr.. Lord.
The Herald believes that Mr.. Lord
does himself, the paper which he
makes and the farmers whom he SER
YES an i'll turn when he singles out
Mr.. Fordney for special attack.
Why? Mr.. Lord says it is not be-
cause he has a personal spite against
him. That, in fact, he is not against
Mr.. Fordney, if Mr.. Fordney has in
fluence enough to get this bean bill
out of the House and will use this in-
fuence.
Mr.. Fordney says he is for the bill,
and will do and is doing all he can to
secure it's passage. Mr.. Osborne,
author of the bill, says what Mr..
Fordney says is true and thanks h::.,
for his earnest effort. Then Mr.. Lord
goes down to Texas and Jugs in a free
trade Democrat Of the Texas variety
who owns up that he "knows nothing
about Mr.. Fordney's purposes but
thinks nothing has been done with
this "pop gun" bill. He also adds
that none of the "pop gun" bills, pearl
buttons, dyes, etc. will be passed. Mr..
Lord Jugs in this free trade demo-
crat, seemings accepts his word
against that of Mr.. Fordney and Mr..
Osborne, makes no effort apparently
to find out the truth. from other Re.
publicans who do know, and proceeds
to "surmise" that Mr.. Fordney is in
fiuenced by some sinister motive.
In view of these FACTS it is indeed
difficult for the Herald to understand
how Mr.. Lord can insist that he has
acted fairly, honorably and honestly"
toward Mr.. Fordney.

Whv Tin House Is Probable

The sound-proof telephone booth is
q rarity, but it has been discovered
that any booth can be made absolutely
sound proof If it is lined with tin.
The new idea is applicable in other
places where it Is desirable to exclude
needless sounds, says the Golden Age.
One or two layers of tin or aluminium
in partitions or between floors are
equally effective i'm shutting out the
noise of the neighbours daughters
piano or the music Of the ragtime
monograph in the fiat above. Family
quarrels can be conducted without
risk of the neighbors' listening, the
dog can bark to his hearts content
and the head Of the house can indulge
in mans prerOgative Of relieving
himself with unseemly vocal sounds.
The tin-lined house would be fire
proof or fire resisting. II the tin
manufacturers can be walked up to
the new field for sale Of their prod
ucts and the architects reused to the
deslrability of getting inexpensive
sound-proof effects, the era of the tin
house may become reality.

WHY
1t Is DANGEROUS to Carry
Matches Into Garage

The West Virginia miner who
blew himself and family to pieces and
tore out one end of his home when he
carelessly threw some damp powder
Into his fireplace to see If II was any
good was not much more Of a fool
than the man who gropes around his
garage with matches. One feels Just
as familiar with the matches as the
other did with the powder but fire
and explosives are bad combination
under any circumstances. You may
think you know how to handle both
without danger, but as soon as you
mix carelessness with them the re-
suits are almost sure to be fatal.
The motorist has no more right to
carry lighted matches in his garage
than he would in powder mill. The
destructive pOtentialtieS of both are
about the same, and under the right
conditions the open flame is as dan
gerous in one place as the other. If
your garage is not wired for electric
lights, the first investment you should
make is to put them in. They are
more important than keeping the
garage warm in winter because the
latter will merely do the car harm,
whereas lack Of electric lights will
cause you to use matches and that is
pretty sure to mean bodily harm to
yourself and the rest of the family;
perhaps not today or tomorrow, per-
haps the very next time you do it.
At no time is the danger greater than
in winter when the garage is kept
snugly closed and the dangerous
vapors Of gasoline and kerosene have
no chance to escape harmlessly into
the great outdoors.
But, If you are contemplating sui
eide, this will no doubt prove valu-
able, hints Motor Life Magazine,
which aims to be helpful in every way
possible.

How to Utilize Wood Waste.

The utilization of wood waste is one
way recommended TO cut down the
high cost Of living. Here are some ar

show how the waste Of the sawmill
can be utilized to cheaper the cost of
living: "Silk" socks, sausage castings.

ties and tanbark shingles. The silk"
looks like silk and feels like silk. but
Is much cheaper than silk. The sau-
sage castings are made by treating the
wood with chemicals that turn II into

HOW NESS WORLD
DEPENDS ON FAITH AND
CONFERENCE.-The entire So
ciai, religious, industrial, com
mercial and business world is
built upon confidence. 1t is the
keystone OF the arch, and when
that Is threatened or lost the en-
tire structure tOtters, perhaps
falls.
In the customary affairs of
daily life we live and move on
confidence. We are confident
that the motornan or the taxi
driver will do his duty; conf
dent the policeman ON the cor
ner will protect us; confident
that nobody will fall or hurl
something out of Il 10th-story
window upon US. We have faith
LII others, and without that faith
we could not perform our daily
tasks. In the religious world the
whole structure is faith-faith
in the promises given us, faith
in our fellow men-and faith is
confidence.
In the industrial world the
employee has confidence in his
fellow employee; the employer
has confidence in his superin-
tendents and workmen, and
Worklnen begin their days work
with confidence that their safety
is assured and that the engineer
and fireman are ION the job"
In the commercial world all
business is built on confidence.
Credit is confidence; business
could not be transacted without
confidence in the integrity of
others. Experience shows that
Il very large percentage Of the
men ana women in the business
world can be trusted. We al
ways hear Of the one who goes
wrong, but do not give passing
thought to the thousands who
90 right.
When we view the gigantic
structure we call business, with
its intricate machinery. its deli
cate parts, its nice adjustments
and its army of employees, we
suddenly realize what ire
mendouS part confidence plays.
The machine would stop, bust
ness would cease, if confidence
fled.

How New Photos Are Made.

A snapshot is Il photograph taken by
Il slot machine, and before long these
machines may be common features on
piers, parades and station platforms.
The machine takes your picture. de-
velOps it, prints it and delivers it, all
in the space Of four minutes. This is
how it does it. You sit before the ma
chine and drop in your coin. A bell
rings and the machine displays this
notice: "Now then, turn your head.
please, to the right; look at the little
cross above the mirror, and smile.
Then Il lamp lights up the machine. A
second warning bell rings. and new
notice appears: keep still, please" it
says, and you obey. The click of the
shutter and the eXtinguishing of the
light inform you that the exposure has
been made, but, lest there should be
any mistake. third notice appears,
with the following message: "Thank
you, the sitting is over and you can
rise from your seat. In four minutes
your portrait will be delivered at the
bottom of the apparatus" The picture
arrives punctually to the second. and
If 1t is not like you that is your fault.
The invention is a French one.

How a Whale Breathes.

An eminent naturalist says concern

do well to copy the action Of the valve

perfect piece of structure it is impOs
sible to imagine. Day and night,
asleep or awake, the whale works
its breathing apparatus i'm such a
manner that not a drop of water
ever gets down into the lungs. Again,
the whale must of necessity. stay a
much longer period under water than
seals; this alone might possibly drown

access to fresh air. We find that this
