he has devoted an entire chapter to
them. He praises them greatly, but
tells us little of their faults. He also
gives an interesting chapter on the
whale fishery.
Dr. C. W. Townsend contributes the
chapter on Birds. A few years ago Dr.
Townsend made a voyage along the
Labrador in order to study the birds.
and he gives the result of his observations
in a most interesting chapter.
The chapter on the Flora of the country
is by Mr. E. B. Delabarre. The appendix
is quite complete. A chapter on
Insects by Mr. C. W. Johnson, in which
he pays his respects to the "Black-Fly"
and the mosquitos. A chapter on
Marine Crustacea, a chapter on Mollusks
and Lists of the Mammals and
Birds and Crustacea complete this part.
The book is a mine of valuable information,
dealing with a great variety of
subjects. Due acknowledgment is made
to the excellent work of Mr. Packard

This book should have a permanent

The Missionary Committee in Action:
An unusually interesting and instructive
pamphlet is "The Missionary Committee
in Action," prepared and issued by the
Laymen's Missionary Movement or our
church, with headquarters at Athens,
Ga. It is perhaps the best brochure of
the sort that has come to our desk. Mr.
Chas. A. Rowland, chairman of the Executive
Committee at Athens, will gladly
put a copy on the table of any one interested.
"The Last Days of the Poppy" is a
neat pamphlet prepared by Dr. Hampden
C. DuBose, of our mission at Soochow,
China. It celebrates the death and
burial of opium in China. The AntiOpium
League, of which Dr. DuBose is
president, has for years worked for the
prohibition of opium on three lines?
closing the dens, stopping the cultivation
and requiriag officials to. abandon
the pipe. The success on all lines is estimated
at 90 per cent. The league has
had the assistance of a number of viceroys
and governors and the encouragement
of the representatives in China of
fVio onvurniriontc r>f .Tanan. America.
Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands.
"Mighty to the pulling down of
strongholds," Christian missions are
removing a barrier to the spread of
Christianity.

The returns for the last week in February
are more encouraging, but the
need to meet building accounts at Du-'
rant are urgent and pressing, so much so
that it now rests with us if this work
shall go on or building cease and the
school fail to open September 1. Do not
let this work come to a standstill, but let
us every one send a contribution promptly
"as God has prospered us."

FEBRUARY NOTES FROM THE
THORNWELL ORPHANAGE.
The weather has been severe, coal
bills have been heavy, supplies have
been high-priced and the children happy.
They have worked hard in the schoolroom;
they have been busy in the shops
and on the farm and in all the domestic
departments; in fact they have kept
moving. A half dozen pupils have left
us during the month, for various causes,
one to go into professional studies, one
well equipped for it to take care of his
invalid mother, two to be returned to
their mother who had happily married
again, one to be cared for by a sister
who felt able to do it and one who had
to give up an education because of ill
ITH. 3??
health. Their places were supplied at
once from the crowd of orphans who
stand waiting.
Just here, friends of the orphans at
a distance may stick a pin, that children
from anywhere are eligible for admission
provided they are health, studious,
desirous of getting a good education and
me orpnans. fromises of help in the
way of funds does not secure admission.
The children coming within the
rules for admission are aided without
reference to any pecuniary promises. A
child from Louisiana or Missouri would
receive quicker attention than from any
in South Carolina.
The Thornwell Orphanage is a Home
and School and College for Orphans. Its
business is to educate. It trains the
head, the hand and the heart. It makes
a specialty of all three. It is not a hospital,
nor an infirmary, nor a service bureau.
It is a school, pure and simple.
No indentures are required of pupils; no
surrender of rights on part of mother or
guardian. The student coming to us is
free to leave us the next day after coming,
if dissatisfied or disappointed.
BUILT A MONUMENT
The Best Sort in the World.
"A monument built by and from Postum,"
is the way an 111. man describes
himself. He says:
"For years I was a coffee drinker until
at last I became a terrible sufferer from
dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and
indigestion, and was a physical wreck.
"The different kinds of medicines I
tried did not cure me, but finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and take
up Postum. I was fortunate in having
the Postum made strictly according to
directions on the pkg., so that from the
start I liked it. It has a rich flavour and
I made the change from coffee to Postum
without any trouble.
"Gradually my condition changed. The
old troubles disappeared and I began to
get well again. My appetite became good
and I could digest food. Now I have
been restored to strength and health.
Can sleep sound all night and awake
with a fresh and rested body. Everyone
who meets me comments on my getting
so plump and rosy.
"I am really a monument built by
Postum, for I was a physical wreck, distressed
in body and mind, and am now a
strong, healthy man. I know exactly
what made the change, it was leaving off
coffee and using Postum."
Read the little book, "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason.""
Ever read the above letter? A new one
appears from time to time. They are
genuine, true, and full of human interest.
