And It Is the better clnss, educated, cultivated man who Is the first to do those things for his wife when she Is without help." TIMES CHANGING IN CHINA "Gentlemen" of That Ancient Country Evidently Have Revised Their Opinion About Labor. A sign of the times from I'hlnu. At Canton Christian college there are Chi nese gentlemen "gentlemen," says a writer In Asia, "of a class that for-w merly considered work with the hands degrading" taking care of and study ing a model herd of water-buffaloes. If they were capable of such an emo tion the situation would probably sur prise the water-buffaloes, for long as water-huff uloes have been a common place factor In Chinese agriculture, nnd their wide horns and clumsy fig ures almost Inevitable In a southern China landscape, they have never be fore been "studied" In an agricultural school, to say nothing of being studied by gentlemen. I?ut the Chinese gentlemen of the present, or at any rate some of them, are Interested In the future of China, and as that future must necessarily be agricultural, these particular gen tlemen are interested in improving the water-buffalo. His temper is probably acceptable enough as it Is, for, al though cross with strangers, the water-buffalo Is gentle with those he knows. A small boy, sitting on his back and sometimes playing a flute, controls him easily, and whoever has seen the creature dragging plow or harrow through the swampy rice fields will probably agree that "water-buffalo" Is a proper name for him. Chris tian Science Monitor. Gas From Straw. A gas derived from the destructive distillation of straw is- being produced on a small scale nt the experimental farm of the United States Department of Agriculture nt Arlington, Va., says the Journal of Industrial and Engi neering Chemistry In a recent article. Tills gas has been used for motor fuel, for cooking and Illuminating pur poses but Its commercial value has not yet been determined. The office of development work of the bureau of chemistry is now making a series of tests upon it. Fifty pounds of straw will produce jtbout'"x cubic feet of gas, nnd the problem of liquefying or condensing the g is in order to enable it to be used practically as a motor fuel is now In process of solution. Several valuable by-products are ob tained during the manufacture of the gn- Doctors for Bees. When a honey bee staggers around holding his head and staring despond ently Into space he may be suffering from influenza, dementia precox or any one of a dozen other physical nnd men tnl disorders. At any rate he needs quick medical attention. He is getting it in the honey-producing regions of Manitoba, Canada. Hee experts say that the province will pour a river of honey on the world's pancakes this year' and that the big production Is due almost entirely to the elimination of bee diseases. Last year's average of approximately 05 pounds to the hive is expected to be materially increased by the hundreds of large apiaries scat tered throughout the province. Brook lyn Eagle. Accidents Late In the Day. Dr. E. Guth of Berlin proves by statistics in the Zentralblatt fuer Gewerbehygiene, that accidents occur more frequently in the last working hours, being also of a more serious nature. Considering this increase In accidents, and the decrease in work done during the last working hours, he concludes that not only workmen, bot als employers have Interest In re ducing the number of working hours. ENTERPRISE RED BLOSSOMS ARE FAVORED American and Liberty Rosee, Carna tion and Immortellet Among Pop ular Christmas Flowers. rV CHRISTMAS eve comes in mild und warm and Christ mas morning follows Its gen ii prophecy, the city florists will he happy. That will rtiean that the thousands of boxes of Christmas flowers which must be de livered on Christmas forenoon can go out wllh only the ordinary packing. But should there be freezing weather, every flower must be packwl In cotton, which doubles the labor and the time iiecesar.v. Even with the mild Christ mas, which Is the florist's delight, the force In the big retail flower stores works all night the night before Christ mas. From midnight until 7 o'clock hi the morning all hands are busy packing the boxes which In a few hours are to convey Christmas remem brances. At 7 o'clock the delivery wagons start, nnd before mxin all tho fragile blooms have reached tho fem inine hands for which they wen; pur chased. Probably 20,000 such boxen ure delivered every Christmas morn ing In New York. One dealer In a fashJoimhle residence district bus siTit out between .'100 and 100 every Christ mas morning for many years. The "mixed box" ranges from $10 to S",0 in price. It Is a very moilwt little box for the first price Just half a dozen roses, a dozen carnations, a bit of "Christmas green." In the $00 box there will be probably half 8 dozen American Beauties, half a dozen long-stemmed liberty roses of the rich, velvety, deep crimson vari ety; some violets, some "valley," some mignonette to sweeten the whole box; perhaps some sweet peas and hya cinths, a bit of heliotrope and always some holly and a red satin ribbon to tie the whole. These expensive boxes are simply pretty trifles, sent to the rich, by those who are not sufficiently Indebted or on suffclently Intimate terms to send more costly or substantial gifts. The very evanescence of the flowers makes them superlatively luxurious. Fifty dollars for flowers that fade In a day makes the attention more deli cate than four or five times that amount put Into some more durable trifle. Bed is pre-eminently the Christmas color, and red carnations and red roses are the favorite purchases. The red immortelles, also, go in great bunches for Christinas decorations in bouses of both high and low degree. These immortelles nre real flowers, though some people have a notion they are made of paper. The nntural color Is yellow, and they prow In the south of France, where great fields of them may be seen dried and dyed for the mar ket. It Is a grertt industry there. Eu ropeans use them largely to the exclu sion of fresh flowers for all occasions They are dyed In ail colors for the Eu ropean market, nnd thousands upon thousands of boxes of the red ones are Imported to New York every year for the Christmas trade. They cannot be successfully grown In America, owing to climatic differences. A few have been produced In Texas, but the flor ists say they are not "right." Trees and Fires. It Is doubtful whether any single agency has caused more fires than Christmas trees. These are covered with inflammable ornaments and kept until the branches are dry as Hin der. The practice of decorating with candles and lighting these in order to beautify the tree is the main source of danger. There is something so pleasing and satisfactory about Christ mas trees that no one feels like giv ing them up, or opposing their use, but they are a source of loss and dun L'cr. Something should be clone to eliminate the danger, even though it should reduce the number of trees Until regulations from the outside In terfere with the practice, it will be well for every person who indulges in tho luxurv to have a garden hose ready for immediate use in case the tree catches fire. Those who nave no means for extinguishing a fire should not have a tree From the Kansas City Journal. . 1 About the Mistletoe a OLES. In his "Art of ki fi Kjt Simpling," observes.

"Why, Johnny." said the caller, as the lad wept bitterly, "crying on Christmas morning?" "Yuh yessir." sobbed Johnny. "We all agreed In our family this year to gug-give each other only what w needed most." "Well, that Isn't such a bad Idea, Is It? Nothing to cry about, anyhow, eh?" "It's rur-rotten," sobbed Johnny.

Music as an aid to morale is havlm? a successful test among laborers em ployed on the construction of the million-dollar Barrett dam near San Die go, Cal., according to II. N. Savage, hydraulic engineer In charge of the construction of the dam. A special recreation hall, provided with a player plano, phonograph, a steel guitar ami other Instruments, was built by Mr. Savage for the use of the workers. "It has long been the custom on big projects to have clubs for the higher paid, technical men, but the common laboring class has been left to seek Its own pleasure," said Mr. Savage. "But on this Job." he continued. "I have looked after the latter class and let the 'higher ups' take care of them selves. It may be a reversal of things, but I am finding It working out In fine shape, for our labor turnover, even thotjgh w are loenfed ):i miles from the city, is remarkably small, and I believe that music and the other en leriainineats which we furnish the men keep them contented on the job." About " pr cent of the men on the Barrett dam work are of Mexican or igin, alihoiigh American citizens, and they ure very fond of music. PRETTY ADDITION TO ROOM Wandering Jew or Some Other Vino In Bowl of Water Is a Cp.en did Idea. If yon want to keep a large bow! or panful of water near a si earn radi ator or hot-air register to counteract the excessive dryness of the heat, try filling the bowl with the delicate green vine called Wandering Jew and place it on a table near a steam radiator, re newing the water frequently. Tills vine will grow and spread beau tifully in water and has the added ad vantage of not needing daily sun. It will do ju.st as well in a dark corner, If that is where your radiator hapiiens to be, with only an occasional visit to a sunny window, and at the same time it will light up that dark corner won derfully. A few sprigs of the vine will spread rapidly and luxuriantly and will do away with the useless look that a plain bowlful of water always has. In addition to their dec orative value, water bulbs are also a useful means of increasing humidity, but always choose the odorless one Vessel for Submarine Research. Details of a new submarine Intend ed for ocean research work were given to the members of the Academy of Science by M. Laubeuf, its Inventor, says a Paris correspondent of the Lon don Express. Its length is 62 feet, its diameter 7 feet 6 inches, and It has a displacement of 50 tons. It can descend to a depth of 330 feet Its accumulators and electric motors give it a speed of six knots on the sur face and nearly five knots under wa ter. It is equipped with portholes re calling those of the famous Nautilus created by Jules Verne. The inventor claims that the vessel can be used for various operations, such as the loca tion of wrecks, the collection of ma rine specimens, soundings, the study of ocean currents, or sponge fishing. The cost of construction, which was estimated when the plans were first drawn up in 1907 at $38,000, is now placed at $120,000. Poor Gondolas. Business had prospered with Mr. Cashtalks. So much so that his wife found herself established in a large house with grounds nothing so low as a garden! One morning Mrs. Cashtalks sent for the gardener, of whom she was very proud. "I've had a letter this morning from Mr. Cas-htalks, John," she informed the man. "He is traveling In Italy, nnd says that while in Venice he bought two gondolas for the lake, which should arrive this week. So you must go to the store at once and get some food for them and build them a nest or something. I'm sure the poor things will be tired and hun gry by the time they get here !" Houston Post. Poles Grateful to America. Polish papers in the United States have recently published a- resolution unanimously passed by the Polish diet expressing thanks "for the memory of future generations" to seven American organizations who "in the name of brotherly love have brought relief to the unfortunate without flinching be fore danger and difficulties." The seven organizations mentioned are the American Bed Cross. American Belief Administration, Young Women's Christian association, Young Men's Christian association, Fund for Eu ropean Children, American Commis sion for Fighting Typhoid and the Joint Distribution committee. Perfectly Frank. Aunt Nellie and her "beau" had taken her tiny niece, ItuUi, to the park. They did everything they could to amuse her, even standing by (for almost an hour) the "slide of life," while Ruth made one slide after an other. Finally auntie thought she could make a facetious remark. Of course It was intended to amuse the "beau." "I believe I'll slide down next, Buthie," she said. Little Ruth observed her with great concern. Then she said earnestly: "You can't Aunt Nellie, you'ra too wide." Page Seven COUNTY LIBRARY PROJECT IS FAVORABLY CONSIDERED Miss Cornelia Marvin, state librar ian met with the county court and rep resentatives of library boards of the county, Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of establishing a county li brary. The court was in favor of the move ment and $2,600 was recommended for the support of the county library, and this appropriation was added to the county budget, which will come up the last of December to be voted upon at the regular budget meeting. Miss Marvin explained that the ciunty library system wa3 being car ried on successfully in five counties of the state and with the assistance of a county librarian better service could be given to thecommunities. Should he appropraton meet with the approval of the people of the county, a county library board will be appointed by the court.

A. C. co operative trials. Continuation of these favorable conditions may bring these varieties into the annual bear ing class, the college horticulturists hope. Pine Beetle Control Expensive ,! Barking the tree will destroy the mountain pine beetle, but will get only a small per cent of the western pine beetle that is so terribly des structive of Oregon timber. The larvae of the latter beetle are found in the inner bark, which must be burned to kill them. Quite generally the expense of control is so great that it is not best to attempt it until it is shown that the value of the timber saved will justify this expense. Details of control are published in an O. A. C. bulletin,"The Western Pine Bark Beetle."
