"And' how did ynu happen to be come iu Liirisunnr 1 nskeil Mine. Ill rooka, a widely known Japanese, writes Tyler Dennett iu Asln.. . "I wanted women to lie rikmI nnd I wanted to help them to Improve their lot," she replied tersely. "I Umnii lnut 1 could not accomplish what I de sired "without religion. Thiit condu ction Bent me to study religion, from the woman's point or view. I fuuml ;'ut there is no' hope for women in any of the religion of -the Orient They tench (hut from the crudle to the grave women are Inferior to men. They regard women as evil. Confu cian etlilos, for example, teach that fools nnd women cannot be educated. A woman cannot be a 'heavenly crea ture.' It teaches that It is better to see a snake tlnin a woman, for the hit ter aronsos'pusslon. i, ''Japane.' women have been bo long oppressed by this kind of teaching that they no longer stop to ask why. They are ufrntd like slaves. Then I began to read the Bible. , I did -not like some parts of it any better than I like the religions of the East. I did not see why any woman should call her hus band i'Lord and Muster.' St. Paul made mo very angry. Ho was an old bachelor; any one end see that. Ho didn't know much about women, flut Peter? He was fine. He linU( 'wlfo,' he understood women. One can, see that from Ills epistles. ' . . '. . , "When I rend the gospels I found that Jesus made no distinction between the sexes. . I llkedthnt. We are all, women as well as men, children of God. I enmo to' tho conclusion that, the; only hope for the women of tho Orient to' attain their true position Is through Christianity." ENGLISH ONE-MAN COLLIERY Unique Industry Is Matched by Rail road TJiat Is Operated In the i ',': United States. . One-man i businesses are many In these Bays of depleted staffs, but a working cool mine, controlled, super . vised, and staffed entirely by a single Individual Is something of a novelty, says London Answers. . This one-man colliery is found at Hether Heage, Ambergate. The own er works the imine every day and all day to secure 'an output of 1,000 tons of coal a year. The mine Is small, and the produce near the surface, while the coal Is smut used hitherto In the manufacture of blacking, but thought of greater value-in war time. The other side of the Atlantic can, however, match us in one-man Indus tries. There, on tho Idaho Southern system. Is found a road run solely by pne man. The track was onco a portion of an Irrigation system, long since abandon ed; and a high-powered motor car with flunged wheels has been built to run along the rails. It carries 10 passen gers, and In the two light trailers go the freight nnd luggage. This quaint railroad has neither guard nor porter, yet it lias a printed time table of Us own, and runs Its trains strictly on time. ' I - - Had First Call on Dance, Down at Quaritico one night recent ly there was n dance for the men of a ccrtnln company, who were to leave for France the nest morning. . Of course, other marines than those about to go were on the floor. There was one man who was a mighty good dancer, and all the girls liked to dance with him. There was a very popular girl there, too. She had her dance program full. There wasn't a dance left. A marine came up. "May I dance with yon?" he nsked. The young woman said she was sor ry,' but her program wus full. "I am so sorry," she sold. "I am sorry, too," replied the young man. "I Just came Into the hall, and I did want one dance before I leave for Franco." He started to turn away. ' Thl soldier who had the dance grab bed him by the shoulder. . "You take my dance," he said. Evidently Had Wrong Girl. i Bouncer was distinctly Irritated when he bumped Into somebody along the street, until he found that it was an old acquaintance of his. ; "Ha! Just the fellow I want to eee," he remarked. "I wanted to ask you whether you ever hear anything of Borem nowadays. . Did he marry that girl he was so keen on?" "No, I don't think so. In fact, I've heard that he's rather fond of going to kfK house nnd putting the gramophone ioWnost of the evening, nnd every time fcjs back Is turned to put a fresh rec ord on. Miss Gladcye moves the hands 'of the clock on anywhere from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour." I 8un Lift Much Water From Lake. 1 Evaporation of water from Gotun lake, canal tone, reached a new high record during the month of March, this year, says Popular .Mechanic Magazine. Calculations show that the sun withdrew 3,248.000,0011 cubic feet of water from the body, the equivalent of 1,213 cuhlc feet a sewmd for tho period of 31 days. This was one cubic toot a second In excess of the volume of wnter passing through the pen stocks of the Gntun hydroelectric stn tlon, which, during the same month, produced 4,031,000 kilowatt hour" of en ergy. This in turn show the loss of , potential current due to the sun's ef fect. ' Barrel the Only Rolling Container. A birrel can be rolled. This is Its treatest merit.

SURE CURE FOR INSOMNIA I Et Pint of Peanut, and Drink Thre ., r in or miik Befora f ' Retiring..; , ;.;.-'( Recently a friend who had heard that I sometimes' suffer from insom ma told me of a sure cure. "Eat a Pint of peanuts and drink two or three glasses of milk before going to bed, said he. "and Ml warrant you'll be asleep within half nri hour." I did us he suggested, and now for the bene fit of others who may be afflicted with Insomnia I feel it ' my duty to report what happened, so far as I am able to it-call tho details. , . First, let me say my friend was "Slit. I did go to sleep very soon after my retirement. Then a friend with his head under his arm came along and asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped out of his skin and loft me floating In midair. While I was considering how I should get down, a bull with two heads peered over the edge of the wall nnd said ho would haul me up if I would first climb up and rig a windlass for him. So as I was sliding down the mountainside tho brnkeman came in; and I asked him when the train would tench my station. ' .1 r "We passed your station 'over 400 year ago," he said, caliuly, folding the train up and slipping It into his vest pocket. : At this Juncture the clown bounded Into the ring and pulled the center-pole out of the ground, lifting the tent and all the people in It up, up, while I Stood on the earth below watching myself go out of sight among tho clouds above. Then I awoke, and found I had been asleep almost ten minutes. H. B. ,: Lock of Milton Hair. ' - ' What is reported to be Doctor Johnson's lock of Milton's hair Is to be sold by Messrs. Puttlck In London this month. Johnson, according to tra dition, claimed that his lock of Mil ton's hair formerly belonged to Addi son. Johnson relieved Milton's daugh ter when she was In distress and It I thought she gave him the lock In grati tude. ' . ! The lock was subsequently divided, one half being given to Leigh Hunt, and it inspired Keats' "Lines on Seeing a Lock of Milton's Hair." Leigh Hunt shared his portion of the lock with : J Browning, and the portion he retained I cannot be traced. Some years ago 'J Browning's portion was sold In Lon-1 1 don, and Inter, resold In New York for nearly $1,000. London Mail. : A Loving Word. A loving word Is ulways a safe word. It may, or it may not, be a helpful word to the one who hears It; but It Is sure to be a pleasant memory to the one who speaks It. Many a word spoken by us Is afterward regretted ; but no word of affectionate apprecia tion , to which we have - given utter ance finds a place among our sadly re membered expressions. Looking back over our intercourse with our fellow workers, we may regret that we were betrayed Into n harsh or-tjasty or un loving word of censure or criticism In this Intercourse; nnd we may wish vninly that we had the privilege of saying nil loving words that we might nave spoken. Soldering Iron and Steel. For soldering' iron with steel, use a flux composed of equal pnrts of cast iron filings nnd calcined borax. Pul verize this black, glassy mixture, and spread the powder on the seam. For soldering . steel,' melt lh an earthen vessel three parts of borax, two parts of colophony, one part of carbonate of potash, one part pow dered hard soap, to which three parts pulverized glass and two parts of steel filings have been added. Run . the melted muss on cold sheet Iron. When completely cooled break in pieces and grind line. Apply to the surface to be Joined a few minutes before uniting them. "THE WORLD DO MOVE" An Italian scientist has developed a method of Identification Of Individuals by means of the veins in their hands.

North Carolina claims rank as th largest soy-bean-production state, with an estimated crop for 1017 of 1.500,000 bushels, an Increase of 20 per cent, over 11110.
