IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
V
r
-w
Influence of Christian Teaching*
Shown In the Changed Condi-
tions Found There.
"The public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect of pub-
lic morality. Last week I was in-
vited to take part in a meeting or-
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,
but who are sincerely desirous of as-
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this In mind they called a public
meetlr'?, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of a campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Men's Christian asso-
ciation were asked to assist in the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi-
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
of Klangsu and Klangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin
solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mens' Christian association rendered
two cornet boIos, and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that it
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are desirous of impressing
upon their countrymen."
STATE FAIR TIME APPMES)

WOOD VARIETY IN ORDER.
IT WAS ONCE HIS.
State Pair at Oklahoma City this fall,
held from September 27 to October 9.
For truly this institution arouses the
interest, or should, of every man,
woman and child who has sufficient
Interest in the world about him to
learn more of the resources of his
adopted state, and to take home with
him enough helpful, new ideas to last
until another state fair.
For many people the great fair is
an annual home coming, a place to
see old friends and to meet new ones.
For all it is the great rallying place
for Instruction and amusement. Rang-
ing through the many and varied ex-
hibits of all departments there is
abundant opportunity for the visitor
to get a view of what is being accom
plished in his own and other states.
Improvements.
Never before was the management
in position to give state fair visitors
more for their money. The fourth an-
nual exhibition will show new improve-
ments valued at $75,000. Practically
all of this money is being put into
buildings this summer. In the list of
new ones, the most important is the
Horticulture 312.00
Floriculture 451.00
Apiary 810.00
Dairy 535.00
Fine Arts 354.50
Educational 412.00
Culinary 624.00
Textile 878.00
Total $22,415.00
Favorable Conditions.
Commenting upon the most general
divisions of the state fair, that is, the
agricultural, industrial and livestock
divisions, it may be said that never
were crop conditions so favorable to
the best display of agricultural prod-
ucts in the history of the fair. There
will be more and better county col-
lective exhibits than ever before. The
management is expecting the largest
and best fruit exhibit of any previous
year.
With the opening of the great pack-
ing industries of the state, the live-
stock department promises to show
the best quality and the greatest quan-
tity of cattle, hogs and sheep of any
pravious year, while the racing pro- *ec' 'B co°' nnd pretty.
They Are Recognized as the Best for
the Average House, But Dally
Wiping and Almost Constant
Polishing Are Necessary.
Undoubtedly the best floors for the
average house are hardwood, but to
kep them In order requires work. Daily
wiping and polishing are necessary,
but the boauty resultant more than re-
pays the trouble, and such floors, un-
less they are abused, wear well. Their j
expenslveness differs according as to
whether or not they are parquetry or
plain. If drawing and living room
floors can be finished with a border
they are more effective, but even in
those places design is not necessary.
What is required Is perfect position of
the boards, that is, close together and
smooth, so they can be kept In the
highest state of polish and cleanliness.
When a house that is occupied the
entire year Is fitted with hardwood ,
floors the problem of carpeting is
solved, for In the winter rugs can be
used, while in the summer the boards
may be left, uncovered. The latter ef-

Largest Rose Tree
Germans claim to possess the larg-
est rose tree in Europe. It is found
in Herr Welirie's garden at Freiburg.
It extends 115 feet at the top and
forms a spacious bower. Originally it
was a wild rose, on which u Chro-
matella tea rose was grafted in 1881.
For general durability there are cov- i
erlngs which conceal unfinished floor-
ing and are more easily kept clean
than carpeting. In these days of fre-
quent moving, when housekeepers do
not like to have carpets and mattings
cut to fit rooms, rugs of endless variety
and material come In prices which are
equally varied. A wilton or tapestry
carpet cut like a large rug and fin-
ished with a wide border is practical In
many dlUerent places, and a rough floor
may have a border stained to make a
suitable finish.
For summer, or to use all the year In
bedrooms, mats of straw aro extremely
pretty. They come In straw colored
grounds with designs of various sizes.
They wear well and are easily kept
clean.
Nothing could be prettier than some
of the hand woven rag rugs. They
have the merit of washing, when soiled,
and have sufficient warmth to bo good
for the winter and yet light enough
for summer wear. In many summer
houses they are used exclusively In
the upstairs rooms and large ones are
exceedingly nice in dining rooms. They
can be woven to order and for dining
rooms round ones showing a border of
contrasting color are both effective and
durable.
Rag carpeting also comes now by the
yard and by many persons Is preferred
to matting because of the way dust
sifts through the latter. Rag stair car-
peting la extremely pretty.
A floor covering which has cork in its
composition has come Into favor for
bed and billiard rooms as well as din-
ing rooms. It Is rather thick and has
some "give" and may be washed with
soap and water as a bare floor. It Is
the common covering In many English
nurseries owing to its hygienic quali-
ties. The stuff comes In only a few
plain colors and may serve as a back-
ground for rugs.
