WHY, SHE BECAME CHRISTIAN
Religions of' Orient Make Slave 'of
; Woimen, Say a Japanese,' and
; ' . ; Rebelled.
"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.

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

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

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
