Indeed, the sending of mission­ aries to foreign lands to teach the gos­ pel of Christ to the heathen is a noble work, and noble are those who sacrifice all their worldly pleasures and virtually bury themselves in the wilds of Dark­ est Africa or worse still, in the midst of the treacherous Chinese and Turks. The history of Miss Stone's capture seryes to remind us of the trials that beset the paths of those engaged in up­ lifting and purifying the lives of these human beings that have never heard the word of God. It is a noble work to be sure and that the missionary agencies in the East may grow and thrive is the earnest prayer of every christian man and woman. But, let us stop and look about us and see what has been done for the uplifting of the morals of young men in our city. True, we have our churches and Sunday schools, but how much weight does a nicely worded sermon and impressive ceremony have upon the mind of the average Ameri­ can boy. The writer of this article was a thoughtless and care-free boy at one time, and from experience we know that the truths we had heard and dis­ cussed at church and Sunday school only made a few hours impression. The 8ame circumstances are prevalent today. McHenry people, and especially the boys, are good "church-goers." What do the boys do after services are over on Sunday afternoon and during the "long winter evenings? We know that very few of them spend the even­ ings at home, and if they are not on the street there is only one other place to find them, and that is the saloon. The saloon is license^ and has a p irfect right to do business, according to the laws of the nation, state and city, and regard­ ing them we have nothing to say. But what about the boys ? Can we not give them something better to do during the long winter evenings? We doubt not that enough foreign missionary money is sent out of this town every year to es­ tablish and maintain a suitable read- . ing room during the winter months. / Don't throw this paper aside and for­ get all about the matter. Give it mature thought, study the conditions as they exist in McHenry, consult your own conscience, and perform your mis­ sion duties accordingly. STARTLING FACTS. A Louisville preacher recently made the startling assertion that * 'home life is safer in the dominions of the Ameer of Afghanistan than it is in Kentucky. There are more murders in Louisville with 200,000 people than there are in London with 7,000,000. There are more murders in Kentucky with its 2,000,000 people than in Great Britain with a po­ pulation of 40,000,000. Finally, there are more murders in the United States than in the whole of Europe, with Italy Turkey left out and Russsia in­ cluded " The Nashville American says that "this statement is true." The American asseverates that "no other civilized nation approaches this in the matter of murder, and those which come nearer to it are such countries as Italy and Turkey, where the assassin's knife is freely used and where men allow their anger and hate and disgraceful passions to rule their conduct. This nation has a red record of which it should be heart­ ily ashamed." MCHEXBY'S BOOM. More building has been done in Mc­ Henry this year than in many years past. There is no doubt that the erec­ tion of the Borden plant is the cause of the feeling of confidence that has pre­ vailed. If a factory that employs fifteen hands will make such a marked differ­ ence in a village, we can readily guess what the effect of a larger concern would be. Shall we work foij another? IT seems that certain ones of the county papers have the county ticket all cut and dried, as it will be filled at the coming convention. Is it not rather esxly to make such broad statements, may be others you know. IT may be that a dam will be thrown •cross the river at this place before the summer season of 1902 opens. Hon William Loriuier is back of the deal and the government is back of him it is said. - ANDREW CARNEGIE says that the possession of money is a great worry.. .Wft have never found it thus. Great Luck Of An Editor. . •'For two years all efforts to cure Ec- f(pia in the palms of my hapds failed," writes Editor H. N. Lester, of Syracuse, Kan., "then I was wholly cured by Backlen's Arnica Salve." It's the world's best for Eruptions, Sores and •U skin diseases. Only 25c at Julia A. A General Theory of Maefetnea. In the Comptes Rendus of the Paris Academy of Sciences M. Koenlgs has printed a sketch of a general theory of mechanisms. Every machine consists of a number of material bodies, re­ sistances, joined together reciprocally, upon which natural forces act to pro­ duce a desired effect, and the effect may be either a state of rest or one of motion. The resisting bodies and their connections are the mechanism. Its ef feet is not known until we define the acting forces. The same machine will produce different effects according as different forces play upon it Machines are subject to three ef­ fects--static when the forces produce equilibrium; kinetic when the result Is motion, and, finally, dissociative when the connections of the machine are changed. The latter effect Is usually not considered, but It is essential to take it into account A machine could not be built, in the first place, unless it was capable of dissociation. In some machines--locks, for instance--the parts are dissociated every time the appa­ ratus operates. It is desirable to de­ sign most machines, however, so that the dissociative effects do not come in­ to play during their operation. PROBA TBNEWS Beware of the Cold BatH. The cold bath in the morning Is not so popular as it was formerly. There is much energy expended in the re­ action and just at the time of day Nvhen this energy Is at its lowest ebb. Then, too, cold water has very little cleansing effect. Very hot water stimulates the nerves, which is the ef­ fect that we are seeking from the cold water, while it does not demand the energy of reaction of the latter. The duration of the morning bath should be as short as possible--hardly longer than the mere application of the water to the skin, followed by a brisk rub­ bing. However, many prefer a cool sponge bath In the morning, and If this Is followed by a warm glow and a feeling of well being it certainly Is beneficial. Many people are not strong enough to react well. A hot bath at night is most cleansing and restful. General bathing must be regulated by Individual ° peculiarities. -- Emma EL Walker, M. D., in Ladies' Home Jour­ nal. A Little Too Late. The minister of a Scotch parish had a great wish that an old couple should become teetotalers, but they were in no­ wise eager to comply. After much pressing, however, they consented to try the experiment, but laying down as a condition that they should be allowed to keep a bottle of "Auld I£lrk" for medicinal purposes. About a fortnight after John began to feel his resolution weakening, but he was determined not to be the first to give way. In another week, however, he collapsed entirely. 'Jenny, woman," he said, "I've an Rwfu' pain In my head. Ye mlcht gle me a wee drappie an' see gin it'll dae me ony guld." 'Weel, guidman," she replied, "ye're owre late o' askin', for ever sin' that bottle cam' Into the boose I've been bothered sae wi' pains 1' my held 'tis a' dune, an' there's nae drappie left."-- Spare Moments. He Waa Selflah. An Arabic anecdote illustrative of the subtleness of selfishness, which enables it to glide Into the heart of a saint. Is told of the holy Mohammedan Sakatl. He said that for twenty years be had never ceased Imploring dfvine pardon for having once exclaimed, "Praise be to God!" On being asked the reason for such persistent praying he answer­ ed: "A fire broke out In Bagdad^ and a person came to me and told me that my shop bad escaped, on which I ut­ tered those words, and even to this moment I repent of having said so, be­ cause it showed that I wished better to myself than to others." An Informal Introduction. When Mark Twain lived In Buffalo, he made the acquaintance of some neighbors under peculiar circum­ stances. Emerging from his bouse one morning, he saw something which made him run across the street and re­ mark to the people who were gathered on the veranda: "My name is Clemens. My wife and I have been intending to call on you and make your acquaintance. We owe you an apology for not doing It before now. I beg your pardon for intruding on you In this informal manner and at this time of day, but your house is on fire!" Hot a Rosy Dreamer. "What would you do if you had a bil­ lion dollars?" "Oh," answered the languid man, "1 don't see why I should expect to prove any exception to the rule. I would probably go to one of the usual ex­ tremes and either buy yachts or else walk to Star. ive car fare/*--Washington Troubles of Her Own. Mistress--Mary, Mary! I've Just bro­ ken my handglass. You know how un­ lucky it is--seven years' unhappiness. Maid -- OJ^, that's nothin', ma'am! 'Off about me? I've just smashed the large glass In the drawing room."-- Glasgow Evening Times. A Success. Landlady--I believe in letting coffee boil for thirty minutes. That's the only way to get the goodness out of It. New Boarder (tasting his and leav­ ing it)--You have succeeded admirably, ma'am. In place of wedding cake in Holland wedding sweets are given -- "bruld- zuikers," they are called. They arc handed round by children and are serv­ ed in flower trimmed baskets.
