It Is a fair test, which the Christian's own faith bids him ai.nlv. Accordingly. inarkinK 'he fruits of Islam. Americans note the blight that has fallen upon every land where the Mohammedan system Is established. Reaction, superstition Immorality, the low estato of woman hriod find childhood, the political cor rupt,lon, the lack of spirituality, the absence of culture, refinement, and Intellectual proKress these are the Dead Sea fruits which modern civ ilization has come to associate in stinctively with the faith of the prophet. It is doubtless unfair to attribute the whole or half of all this to the Mohammedan rellKlon Itself. In Its purity. It Is one of the world's great est faiths, and has been the Inspira tion of many a noh'u man and wom an. Hut, clearly enough, It has not been a sufficiently pure and uplift ing; force to keen the masses of Its votaries from falling; Into religious and moral degradation and turning 1ia riles Into mere mummery. Christianity as It stands today has Its faults, Its failures and its hyp ocrites. Hut these are not Its salient fuels. Christendom stands. In the eyes of nearly all the world for the big things In life and achievement. On the whole. It has been a tremen dous succesH. Where, among the mil lions professing Mohammcdism today 4s there one race, one nation, com manding generul respect in the eyes of mankind? Islam Btands for failure. Ameri can do not like fuilures, in religion or anything else. The Moslem mis sionaries will find poor pickings In this country. A now argument agalnM the short day In IndUHiry la advuncfd by cer tain Japanese employers. They Buy that the eight-hour day was tried out In the fuciorles, and Ihe uneducated girls employed In (hem had no much leisure and ho little Idea how to use Jt that they resorted to eating as a time-killer, wherefore many oT them are now suffering so Beverely from indigestion as to be practically un fitted for work. Many theories have been advuneed in this country as to how the poor workingman or girl would put in the long hours if the working day was shortened, but somehow nobody ever thought of the nieiiaco of over-eating. I'robably If It were suggeHted. the worker ac cumlomed (o food prices In (his land of the free would ask, In the ver nacular of the street, "How do they get that way?' The American work man has a good imagination, but prolonged over-eating even wit h ordinary hours, would be beyond the wildest flights of his fancy, l'erhaps It would be better that Ihe working classes here should not hear this Japanese fairy tale. It might lead to grave international complications and a complete reversal of the pres ent Jiipn-Auierican lalior situation. Such a flood of emignrl ion from America to the Orient inivht set in as would lead the .laps to legislate as vigorously against the "white peril" as we do now against the yel low. This Is the period of the year when the "turkey hangs high" and the gmte lies low. WHO KNOCKED THE L OUT OF H C L? We are going to put more L in it, and make it L. C. L.

Farming as on of the securest of all Industries is recommended by the Country Gentleman, to the the con-' slderatloD of young men who have! Heft the farm for highly paid jobs in the city, only to find that wun the strike the shut-down, aud other Industrie readjustments, that they kni.A lAh n all 'Taminff VlAS ItS haiards." says the article. "The re turns that may be derived from It, are often too low. but In the leanest years the farmer can pretty well be assured of a living at the worst. The dread term 'bread line is without meaning for him. Given a diversity of crops, and some livestock, the farmer cannot be confronted with mythlng approximating what a shut down of a factory means to a city worker he hiia more than one line of llvlihood and is so protected. "The demand for most things that men manufacture is fluctuating. Hut the demand for food Is universal and unfailing. The man with the farm has tho strongest guaranty of a living that civilization has yet written. " For the country youih who is left high and dry with bis city Job or the city uian looking tor a foot hold, the argument for the farm is equally good. The high tide in city Jobs Is about over. Wisdom and fore sight point to the country. Surgeon-Genera! 11. S.

To make sure that they shall miss nothing, he has requested a number of eminent specialists in tuberculosis, not mem bers of the public heulth service, to visit all service hospitals and to study the conditions at each with a view to standardization and to mak ing any improvements that may sug gest themselves.

SOAP AND SOCIO IN SUMATRA Wsarlng of Hosiery Is an Indication That tha Wtarar Earns at Lutt 120 a Month. Soap and sock In Sumatra tea years ago the observant mlud of a consulate representative of tha United States In that Island would have de voted less thought to such matters, but now the Internationalization of commerce gives soap and socks In Su matra their place In the sun. The natives. It appears from a recent con sular report, are mora and more tak ing to wearing socks. Those sim ple garments of extremities, one Judges, are becoming an Indication that the wearer earns at least f20 a month. American socks are well thought of, as are American soaps, but more socks and soaps from Amer ica can be sold In Sumatra If the American dealers In these commodi ties will give more thought to local taste In decorating the boxes or wrap pers In which they go on sale In the bazaars. These buyers In Sumatra, like their soaps and socks done up In bright colored containers; In fact, they are Inclined. to Judge the con tents by the beauty, from their point of view, of the' box. The picture of an American manufacturing plant leaves them cold, nor do they enre for a wrapper decorated with land scape In colors. Particularly lnt the matter of hosiery, they like the box decorated with some brightly colored picture which catches the eye and ap peals to the Imagination by Its "hu man Interest." One Judges that It would be good policy for American dealers in soaps and socks to discard their present containers and employ some of the artists who make covers for the popular mugaziues to design aud paint ihera new ones particularly for the Sumatra market.

The tntul number of valid votes cast at the recent election in Germnny for the 440 members of the relchslag was 20.017.5nO. The votes thai had to he thrown out ran Into the thou sands. One woman wrote on her bal lot: "I am voting for you major ity socialists Ibis time, but unless I can get Wesiphnllnn ham Unit Is made in Westphullu from now on I'll never do It nguln." Quite a fen votes were cost for Ihe kaiser on Ihe ground Hint "If elected the humllla Hon would serve ill in right." One man from Mugdeburg deposited In stead of bis ballot a five-murk note without comment. Rot the prize ballot came from Lin den. It was a piece of wrapping pa per, on which was written "Isnliili 12, 23-24." The verses read : "Show the things Unit are to come hereafter that we may know that ye ore gods; yea. do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and behold It together. Be hold, ye are of nothing and your work of naught; an abomluatlon Is he that ehooseth you." The Circus. The clowns disport themselves as of yore. The hand pluys Its tuneful music.

The ele phants, for all their heavy trululng. seem but commonplace. Even the clowns seem less funny than in dnys gone hy. Time has passed. Indeed. The circus does not change.
