Great hopes are being raised, says
the London World, by some recent ex
periments concerning the cure of the
dust nuisance. Already tu America
and In the neighborhood of Parla pro
longed trials have been made of crude
petroleum Instead of water for sprin
kling country roads, the effect, after
sufficient aud careful application, , be
ing to consolidate and bind the surface.
In this country aome tests of a similar
nature . are about to be undertaken,
and an even more promising scheme
has been proposed by' the surveyor of
the county of Nottingham. ' He has
found that by saturating furnace slag
with gaa tar before it is rolled Into the
road the surface so formed is water
proof and dust proof and much more
durable. It therefore seems most like
ly that a cheaper as well as a better
road will be made from alag tbna
treated tbaa from the .crude material
Some cure must be found for the In
creasing evil, aa the cloud of dust
which arises behind even a moderately
driven motor car is defiling to every
user of the road and a menace to
health and safety.' .

iTne Work of Woman
By' Count If 0s fOlSTOI. the fcteSectual
i:(y::. , Czar of AI the Kassloss
HE CALLING OF EVERT IXDIVIDUAL, MAK
OR WOMAN, CONSISTS IN SERVING MAN
KIND. The service of mankind resolves itself into
two parts: " , , t v
- First. The improvement of the lot of living
men and women, " . '
; Seconl The perpetuation of mankind itself. -
' To the former men are chiefly called, since the' possibility "of .
the latter .service is denied them. To the second women " aro
called, as they are exclusively capacitated therefor.
However zealously man may occupy himself by increasing his
.pleasures, by idle musings and by social activity, his work will not ,
be fruitful, . It - will be fruitful only when it is directed toward
lessening , the evils of mankind originating in want, ignorance and ;
false social institutions. .
80 IT IS WITH ,THE CALLING OF WOMAN. THE BEARING,
NURSING AND REARING OF CHILDREN WILL BE USEFUL TO
MANKIND ONLY WHEN SHE SHALL SO - EDUCATE HER CHIL
DREN .THAT THEY WILL BECOME THE BEST TYPE OF MEN AND
WOMEN AND (WORKERS FOR, MANKIND.' .V , ?
: According to my view, she will be the ideal woman who, after
having assimilated the highest view of life of. the age in which she
lives, shall devote herself to her service as woman, to her inexorably
appointed calling of bearing, nursing and educating the greatest5
possible number of children, who. will be capable of serving man.
kind according to the view of life imbibed from her. '
But' how about those who have no children; who do not enterp
the married state, or who are- widows t They will do well to take
part in the maniMfl? labors of men', : , - - ;.v
TO SEE -A YOUNG WOMAN CAPABLE OF BEARING CHILDREN" '
EMPLOYED AT MEN'S WORK WILL' EVER BE DEPLORABLE. '
. . To see such a woman is like the sight of rich loam thai is
covered with gravel for a place of promenade. 1 It. is still more'
deplorable, as this soil could have produced only' grain, while the-,
woman could have produced that which is priceless and than which7-''
there is nothing higher- man. . , , '

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT,
Declining Influence of the Church
By President CHARLES W. fLIOT of Harvard ,
E. AMERICANS
ARE FACE TO FACE WITH THE "
LAMENTABLE AND EXTRAORDINARY FACT THAT
THE INFLUENCE OF THE , CHURCH HAS VISIBLY
DECLINED IN OUR GENERATION.
The Protestant churches are too intellectual and. ,
too emotional on the part of the teacher or preacher,
and call for too little of personal exertion on the p&rt of the recip
ient of the inspiration. - - (
The emotional side of religious teaching is highly, developed,
and this is especially true of the 'Methodist denomination. IT ,s

WHAT 00 THEY MEAN BY THESE "SPHERES OF INFLU
ENCE"1 OR LEASEST ;
- Lease in its simple meaning is nothing but a letting of land to
tnother for term of years on certain conditions of compensation.
Re lease of Port Arthur means little when read in the cold Rus
iian blue book, but its significance becomes somewhat apparent
when seen in the light of such memorable utterances of Czar Nich
olas at the occupation of the mouth of the Arthur as "WHERE
THE 'RUSSIAN FLAG HAS ONCE BEEN RAISED IT
MUST NOT BE LOWERED." . v
However well intentioned Japan may be to reorganize China,
it is a foregone conclusion that she cannot do so alone. DOES
NOT THEN THE MISSION OF THE UNITED STATES
IN THE FAR EAST LIE HERE! Is it not a plain truth that
the United States, whose ambitions are not territorial, vhose in
terests are not political, but commercial, is among the best friends
of China? And that China, on the other hand, is one of her best
customers ? , And will Uncle Sam look on calmly anJ coolly while
the other powers close China's doors to hn merchants anJ bar her
gate with preferential duties?
