CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN.

In the 90 years since the opening OF
Japan less than one-half Of ] per cent
Of the total population have embraced
Christianity. Some contend, there
fore, that Japan's reply to Christian
ity IS polite but emphatic NO"
Others see in this an incentive to re-
nowed effort, to closer study Of con
ditions ana methods Of approach, says
Minneapolis Tribune. All agree, how
ever, that the work must 20 on, that
the faith must never be lowered that
has Inscribed on It's banners: Go We
out into all the world and preach the
Gospel In the life Of a nation go
years Is but a moment With Japan
it has been moment filed with move
ment and change If one judges Chris
tianity in Japan broadly one cannot
escape the conclusion that the spirit
uaI gain has exceeded numerical
growth; that results have warranted
the long labor Of the Christian mis-
sionaries.

There are undoubtedly acres upon
acres Of land in the eastern part Of
the United States, too poor for either
garden or pasture purposes, which
would readily produce white pine
frees. The professor Of forestry at
the Massachusetts, Agricultural col
lege calls attention to the price Of $50
to S35 a thousand feet for which pine
logs are selling on the stump, and says
that pine stumpage will be as yalua.
bic for tie next 80 or 40 years as 1t
is today. His advice to farmers who
own large areas Of unlmproyed lands,
to plagt them with white pine, with a
certainty Of profitable sale, would seem
to be worthy Of consideration.

While an individual apparently may
do a number Of things at once, psy'
biologists agree that the mind can con-
tain only one thought at time.
Thoughts, however, as we all. know,
can change with lghtnnglike rapid
lty. If then, we Gil the mind by CON
scious effort with positive, optimistic
good thoughts, there is no room for
negative, pessimistic, detrimental
thoughts. "As man thinketh in his
heart, so IS he" More and more is
this age.old truth impressing itself
upon the modern, analytical mind.
This is the age Of triumph Of per-
sonal efficiency Right thinking IS
having its day, For proof study the
leaders in your community.

A SPREAD OF TIPPING
From the Sacramento Union)

CFro1n the Sacramento Union)
 It has been assumed that Federal in positions to serve the public owe that service without ad- ditionaI compensation, yet it has been revealed that Customs Inspectors in New York have been working a rich field for graft in accepting brioes from incoming steamer passengers for examining baggage. As a result 100 inspectors are under charges of taking tips ranging from g cents to $20O, though they are paid by the Government for the service they rem der and could not give any favor to the passenger without depriving some other passenger of his rights or de- frauding the Government. And an important phase of the matter is judicial decision that no law is vio- lated in either soliciting or receiy- ing tips.
 4 construction placed on the law would permit any Government en- pIoyee to demand a fee before ren- dering a service asked. Carried to it's ultimate conclusion, a Post Office clerk might solicit a tip for handing out a dimes worth of stamps. Of course, there is remedy, and that is discharge, but a grating em- p1oyee must be caught at that Abroad fees are not repugnant to Government employees. The New York Customs TOSneetors aopear to have adopted the European method
 There have been many protests against the growing custom of being expected under many circumstances to pay for something and then throw in a gratu1ty in addition. Shoe-shin- hope for something extra Yet it is un-American, and we have not a doubt, now that attention has been called to it. that Congress will take steps to forbid the practice amons Federal employees. The laborer is worthy of his hire but he is not en- titled to more than that and he is not entitled to be paid again for what he has been paid once.
 Yet it is the ''easy" public that makes the tip practice possible. Were it insisted that the price fixed is enough and that gratuities are graft the custom would be broken up. The fear that one will be thought a ''tightwad' drives many unwilling ly to give up," yet courage to dc JcT Se- Ie sary.

It was 9 winSome, eerie child Game skipping down the street, With sunny hair, wind-blown
 and wild, And dancing little feet Whose little child are you?"
 I asked. She looked at me and smiled, why I don't know; I hardly
 guess I'm anybody's cl.ild." She kissed me on the cheek and
 laughed. Come run away and piay!' Then skipping on called b1ithe-
 ly back, '1'n be your child today- I saw her slip behind the hedge With tears I could not hide, 70 merry. fairy little girl, You are my child" I cried. I'm sure some little children
 souls, A-wander in the sky, Get lost in hunting for their
 homes And pass their mothers by. Sometimes they come to careless
 arms That grudge to let them stay, And leave quite empty mother
 hearts That want them night and day.

GENTLE BIBLIOKIEPTS

(From New York Evening Post)
 Two guardians stand at the Fifth avenue and Forty-second street DOT taIs of the Public Library, bending grimeyes on every outgoing briefcase, overcoat and roll of papers. The last Legislature strengthened their hands by new law. which puts on the responsibility of proving owner ship of books that have previously belonged to a public or institutional library. A possessor who cannot supply proof is liable to jail for five years if the book is worth over $50, and for one year if less
 For professional thieves there should be no mercy. There should be none, but usually isfor him whose fingers close upon a book for his own shelf. Among librarians the story goes that in a Puritan city renowned for beans, brown bread, and bookish- ness, a collection missed so many books that finally it was proposed to invoke the law harshly. Investisa- tion followed-but no arrests; the principal offenders were discovered to be esteemed members of the richest, most pubic-spirited families.
 Book collecting is a consuming passion with some. and all such pas sions blunt the moral sense. The first downward step is to borrow from a. friend and forget to return.
