THE CHINESE WAY Taking a Street Car Ride In the Citv of Shanghai. A PUZZLE FOR A WHITE MAN. Experience of an American Tourist Who Made a Bluff at Appearing to Know All the Ropes?A Patient Conductor and an Interested Cargo. I Writing of his adventures in the Chinese city of Shanghai, Homer Croy, in Leslie's Weekly, tells of the experience he had there in taking a ride on a street car: The car was full of Chinamen, with | not another white soul aboard, all sit- J ting there in their skirts, their faces j as expressionless as the heads of i drums, but as soon as 1-came in their j faces began to fill with interest, one ! nudging another until the whole -car j was looking at me. I felt that something was wrong, but i I could not iigurc out just what. 1 j knew that it shouldn't create that much of a sensation for a white person to get 011 a car in Shanghai, but still they were looking at me as if I pnnlfl ho sifTTiffl hv :i fil'CUS. I Siru.CT- i gled to look unconcerned, but I knew ' that mv cheeks were backfiring. <r> The conductor, in his suit of blue j jeans, with a satchel over his shoul- I der. came up and said something to j me. while I nodded with earnest care- j lessness and handed him a twenty cent ( piece, knowing that he could gel ! enough out of it to satisfy his wants. "Mun stau chong du?" he asked. I nodded again and held out my hand for the change, plainly showing that I made the trip on the line twice a day. "Mun stau choncr du fains kaing I short da?" he asked with more feeling, pointing down the street with one hand. "I didn't catch the drift of his remarks, but I wasn't going to show him that I wasn't an old citizen and tax-1 payer, so I shook my head this time and nestled back in the seat as if it were all settled. But the conductor became more excited than ever, drafted the other hand and gurgled: "Mun stau c-hong du t'aing kaing! shon da feah da tsu sz whoo peh quong?" So I waved in the other direction and tried to nestle again, but the conductor came back with another round of monosyllabic re-enforcements. With that his fellow men in the car came to his help with an artesian *)f words, each one thinking that he could maike i i- Kr? Knicimrp hns T'Al r>A O Ihlfr it J!

I took it and started to stuff it nonchalantly into my pocket, but he became more excited than ever and came back with another string of empties, while I put the slip back into his hand as if it made not the slightest bit of difference in the world to me whether I kept it or whether he had it?I would leave the details of the trip to him. The conductor used his hands some more and then turned and signaled for somebody from the car ahead. Another man in blue jeans with a satchel over his shoulder came and listened for a rew diocks wmie my couuueioi explained. A Chinaman can never explain anything in a sentence or two: he has to go into details and go through his whole selling talk before he feels that the other has grasped the general drift of thought The other man bent over. He was evidently a master of English. "How muchee far you goee, mister? You payee how far you lidee." Then I understood. When you get on you have to tell the conductor how far you are going, and he charges you for just that distance. But even after my fare was settled the natives on the car kept looking at me and pointing with their chins, as is their custom.

C. 12-31-lt LAYMEN MISSIONARY CONVENTION i Second South Carolina Convention of National Missionary Campaign to lie Held at Columbia. The South Carolina convention of I the second national missionary cam- j j paign is to be held in Columbia February (j, 7, S, 9, 1916. Since the first national campaign, j held in 1909-1910, there have been j many significant changes throughout i .iie universe. Just at tins time practically the entire world in power and in might is engaged in devastating war. Nation after naiion is engaged in a death struggle and hate stalks abroad. As these words are written, our United States of America is the only world liower at peace with all the nations; and, as a direct 'result of this situation, we are facing, at home and abroad, the greatest opportunities for service ever presented to us. It is j important that the laymen of our state should assemble again to consider in a practicable and comprehensive way the general interests of the Kingdom, to face the special opportunities confronting us, and to plan to meet and faithfully discharge our obligations,to evangelize the world; in short, to "enlist for world service." The purpose is three foM: ' Information, inspiration and method. The object of the convention is to furnish information about the work we should do, to strengthen our convictions that we can do it, and to presen: I methods by which it can be done. 1 Men who are in closest touch with j our missionary work at home and abroad will bring first hand information from the field. Men who are grappling with policies of administration and methods will contribute their thoughts and experiences. Business men of large means who have made large investments in the extension of the Kingdom, and men on small salaries but with a high standard of stewardship will join in the discussions. ( A provisional program will be an- j nounced through the press and disl tributed through the mails as early as practicable. Xo effort will be s-pared j in securing the most effective missionary speakers available. Team "C," the designation of the group of speakers for the South Carolina convention, will give special at I leniion to me ueiiumiuiwiuuai wvuiciences to be held in the afternoon of cach day.

Every delegate should bo present at all the sessions, if possible. While attendance at single sessions is worth while, the cumulative effect of the program is lost by irregular attendance. The committee is planning definitely for the registration of 3.000 men. Xo limitations are made on the representation of denominations or of con gregations, every denomination and every congregation being entitled to as many delegates as desire to attend. The convention will be self-entertaining, eac'n delegate being expected :o provide for his own expenses. Arrangements will be made so that rooms may be reserved in advance, at the lowest possible rates. Delegates will 'iave the choice between hotels, boarding houses and private homes of persons willing to rent rooms during the convention. When preferred, rooms .. ~ ~ J ~ ?

Itory of the Rice Fields of Southern ^ Louisiana. In ISSo lowlands in southern Louisiana near the bayous suitable for growing sugar caue, corr. and cotton could be purchased for $3.50 an acre, and tlie prairie lands Dacii irom tne oayous could be bought for $1 an acre. With almost the first crop under irrigation, however, the values showed a marked rise and have continued to increase. In the first five years the value of the best rice lands rose to 310 an acre, and soon after that it rose to and even $50 an acre. The first people to plant rice in southern Louisiana, according to the United States geological survey, were the Acadians, who, after their expulsion from Nova Scotia by the English in 1753, settled in considerable numbers in Louisiana. Their cultivation of rice, almost primitive in its methods, was confined to the lowlands along the bayous, the prairies affording pastur age for the Acadians' herds of cattle Few of the lowland areas.admitted ol satisfactory drainage, and the<y were too small for profitable cultivation The crops frequently failed in years ol deficient rainfall. Attempts were made 1 to create additional water supplies by building levees across low sags or coulees at points higher than the cultivated areas, but generally either the rainfall nroved deficient or the reser voirs were too small. Little advance was made over the Acadian methods until recent years. Experiments in unusually wet years had shown that the soils of the prairies were adapted to the growth of rice if sufficient water was at hand. This led ^ | to the trial of pumps as a means of, ' raising water from the bayous to the rice fields. So successful was the test that pumps were at once installed at many points, and in a few years tens of thousands of acres of previously almost useless land, lying ten to seventy feet above the bayous, were put under cultivation. The first large pump was installed in 1894 on the Bayou Plaquemine, in Acadia parish, near Crowley.
